LONDON, Dec. 15.—The house of
lords, in a decision rendered yesterday,
holds that Teddy Slingsby, the San
Francisco boy, is not the heir of the
Yorkshire estate of Lord Loreburn. In
announcing their decision, the lords
said: Mrs. Slingsby secured the baby,
now grown to manhood, years ago
from Lillian Anderson, a school girl of
San Francisco, to save the girl from
a scandal. The lords regret to make
this decision, because the gallant Com
mander Slingsby is now fighting for
his country and has rendered valuable
service.”

STORK OF LOST
Several years ago when deciding on
the vocation in life that they expected
to follow for their business careers,
Frank and Fred Polley, being broth
ers of the same day and hour, and
possessing the same temperament
and imbued with the same business
acumen, decided to emulate Buffalo
Jones. The inspiration probably came
from witnessing the daredevil feats
of Buffalo Bill’s cowboys when they
rode the lone shaggy buffalo the show
possessed. This took place in their
homo town some years ago but it was
sufficient to start the idea that there
was money in buffaloes, realizing the
value of the hides and the many uses
the horns could be put to. However,
after looking carefully into the situa
tion and traveling the western coun
try over in search of remnants of this
tribe they found that old man Jor
don, of Miles City, Montana, had cor
raled all the hides and that, with the
exception of the few that were in the
museums and belonging to the gov
ernment Buffalo Jones had a mo
nopoly on the remaining live mon
archs that at one time dotted the
western plains.
Realizing his opportunities, Mr.
Jones refused to listen to any over
ture of the boys to buy In; and then
again they did not quite like Jones’
idea of crossing the breed with in
ferior South American cattle. In the
course' of time they landed in' An
chorage where they own and manage
one of the best and most up-to-date
mercantile stores in the city. Time
will not always efface youthful am
bitions and later in life the inspira
tion came to corral the famous “buf
falo nickel,” especially of the vintage
of 1!)16, as this issue has been recal
led. In this they had competition in
the form of one of Alaska’s most pop
ular and gracious women whose hob
by was also buffalo nickels. She too
treasured the nickels, not from a mis
erly standpoint but to hand down to
her heredity for she realized that the
two symbols and natives of the west
ern plains, the buffalo and the Amer
ican Indian, would soon be a thing of
the past, except from the pictures of
McGuffey’s geography and—the buf
falo nickel. This nickel carries a pic
ture of both and this lady collector
of nickels, carries one as an amulet,
unalloyed and unsullied and not
tainted.
Dinner was late yesterday and in
hurriedly paying for several articles
she unknowingly gave her lone buf
falo nickel, among other change, in
settlement for different small pur
chases.
The Times goes on the press at
2:30 every afternoon but her entreat
ies were so endearing and her grief
so apparent that the manager stop
ped the press and simply inserted—
“Lost, one Buffalo Nickel,” in yester
day’s Times.
After listening to the story that
caused the advertisement and leam
in of the lady’s sincere solici
tation to recover her buffalo
nickel, Frank and Free! Polley
walked into The Times office' this
morning and generously and mag
nanimously turned over their entire
collection of buffaloes, consisting of
five buffalo nickels, with instructions
to give same to the lady collector
with the remark that they did not
care to go into competition with wom
en. They have forever retired from
the buffalo business and will devote
their entire time and attention to
their mercantile business in Anchor
age, knowing that the dreams of their
youth was the cause of making one
woman happy.
