The great blow, however, will not prove de structive to life or property. c two weeus irom to-da- y tne rep- resentative republicans of the United States will assemble at St. Louis and nominate the man who will be the next president of this country. There is scarcely any doubt but that man will be William McKinley. Congressman Kem is evidentally convinced that he is serving-hi- s last term in the house and apparently thinks that for that reason he privileged to make himself gen ally obnoxious without regard to the effect which his conduct may have upon legislation in which the people of Nebraska are vitally m- - terested.

Hub. Poets sing of the etherealness of May,. but the month this year did j r i nor. prove one or mildness; it was as a roaring lion. There were thirteen days in the month on which cyclones or tornadoes occurred, and the number of deaths resulting there- from is placed at 730, and the in jurea at j.,4uu. u.en states and one territory were affected by these death dealing- - storms. Life insurance certainly yields something besides expectations on the one side and promises on the other. Thirty-fiv- e standard life companies have reported to the New York State Insurance Depart ment their business for 1895. They show total cash payments in death losses and endowment claims of $84,791,622. This was money act ually paid to policy-holde- rs or their beneficiaries exclusive of what was disbursed in dividends and for sur rendered policies. These two latter items bring the total payments to policy-holde- rs up to the remarkable figure of $122,978,718. the Douglas county convention last Saturday declined to instruct the 116 delegates to the state con- vention to vote for the renomina- - tion of Attorney-Gener- al Churchill, but did instruct for Balch for treas- urer and Williams for commissioner of public lands and buildings. jorouicu s candidacy tor gpvernor scarcely received mention in the convention, and the delegation is at liberty to vote as it pleases for governor. The action of the Doug- las county convention mixes mat- ters up considerably and it is diffi cult to predict the outcome of the state convention. speaking of the business situa- tion, the St. Louis Globe-Democr- at of Saturday says: The political conditions which affect business continue to be "mixed." Nobody doubts that the republican national convention will make a square dec laration m favor of the gold stand ard, but there is some chance that the democratic convention will be carried by the silver men. Of course the democrats can not win in any event, and a silver platform will make their defeat overwhelming and lasting-- . Still, a surrender t silver by them will have a bad effeci on the country's credit abroad, where their impotency is notas well known as it is here. However, in this country the effect of a silver declaration at Chicago will not be perceptible on the.exchanges or in general business. The report presented by Con gressman Hopkins, as chairman o the house committee on reciprocity, shows that through reciprocity ou trade witn ine .uatin-Amenc- an re publics, which was of the value o S63.000.0CO in 1885. reached the magnitude of $103,000,000 in 1893 In 1892 the very .year in which the free-trade- rs were denouncing- - the McKinley law, with its reciprocity clause, "a Chinese wall" that shu us out of "the markets of the world" the export trade of this country reached its high-wat- er mark; the total value of exports being- - $1,030,270,148. This, was greater than that of any preceding year by $luu,UUUtUUU, and mnnitely greater than that of any succeeding- - year. TJie year iobo was one o famine, occasioned by the certainty of domestic tariff tinkering-- . Bu the reciprocity agreements, though threatened, were hot yet repealed accordingly the only increase of our foreign trade was in our dealings with those countries between which and our own such agreements stil were in force. Our increase of trade with them was $3,500,000 over the total of 1892, and $16,440,721 over 1891, which was the year prior to the signing- - ot agreements. SHOULD WOMAN PROPOSE? Mrs.Gllxnoor's Witty and Timely Answer to the Question In the Now York Herald. The New York Herald has been hav ing a letter contest on the subject, "How Far May a Woman Go to Encourage Man to Propose?" Mrs. James Gilmour of Brooklyn wrote the winning letter, and . as the subject is one that will interest all women, and as lier letter is especially witty, here are Mrs. Gilmour's ideas as she gavo iUem to Tho Herald: Solomon, tne wisest man tuat ever lived, says of a good woman, "Her price is far above rubies. '' Certainly, from his extraordinary and extensive experience with tho sex, I should consider him competent to pass judgment. We will presume that you aro "good, womanly" woman, such as he describes, and that you are desirous of approaching a mau ou the subject of matrimony that, you aro anxious to induce him to propose. First. Select the man on whom you intend to bestow the privilege of your attention, noto his behavior and general conduct, and then, if you deem him worth tho winning, hold fast to him. We aro strictly enjoined to ' 'hold fast to that which is good. " becond. in your alter companion ship with him bear in mind the fact that you are a woman of great price "far above rubies," and you will never compromise yourself by any indecorous ness of speech or manner. fc5eei ins society in sucn a manner that he is not cognizant of being sought after; be bright and cheerful in his presence : sympathize witli liim in nis troubles; stimulate him to best efforts in his business affaira ; cheer him when he is despondent and encourage him to confide in you. Dress becomingly for him, but never gaudily. When ho is absent from you write him a few interesting, chatty let ters, wnerem, it you are an attept in the art, you can weave a few insinuat mg expressions wnicn may worn won ders. "The pen is mightier than the sword." Above all else, provo yourself a good listener. If ho monopolizes three-third- s of tho conversation, you will have the more chance to study his character, for "out of the abundance of tho heart the mouth speaketh. " I guarantee that you will get in your thirds in the sweet by and by. I should scarcely advise your treating him to specimens of your cookery. His mother might excel in the culinary art. Moreover, it was an uncooked apple with which Mother Eve beguiled Ad am. Of tho righteousness of that trans- action I shall say nothing ; of the suc cess everything, in that she molded Adam to her will Time enough to feed the brute" when you have to do so, then leed him to your neart's con tent, and feed him well. If you are making any progress with him, accord him trifling familiarities, which may be increased in proportion to his affability and his interest in you. Your womanly intuition should by this time enable you to judge whether or not youliavo found favor in his sight and to act accordingly. "Be ye wise as serpents, but harmless, as doves." Should there spring up between you a mutual regard, treat him to some of those dainty feminine touches which are indescribable, not because they are womanly or wrong, but because their language is mute and sacred to the two persons most concerned. Do not always agree with him. It is sometimes wiser to agree to disagree. If you have a spark of wit in your na ture, you ought by this time to have made yourself so necessary to his exist- ence that he will mis3 you sadly when absent and will besrin to realize that it is not good for man to be alone." Though all progresses well, draw the line at promiscuous osculation. Never permit him to kiss you. That is the privilege of the engaged. But since the apostle says, "Greet ye one another with an holy kiss, " you might vouch safe him just one some night at part- ing, perhaps. But if he attempts to re turn it do not permit it. Tell him, "It is more blessed to give than to receive. " Finally, yon might inform him that you can put him in the way of finding a "good thing," and refer him to the nineteenth chapter of Proverbs, the twenty-secon- d verse. If he be a manly sort of fellow, and cares anything for you, he will doubtless follow the ex hortation of the prophet and thus find favor with you and the Lord. Should your innate modesty rebel somewhat at this suggestion, you may console yourself by remembering that it is indeed your leap year privilege. If you are the dear, womanly, nes tling creature you ought to be, he must have proposed long ago. If he has not, discard him, for either he is not worthy of you or you are not "en rapport" with. him.

HAE0LD I A2TD HAEDI0AMTE, Death of the Former Generally Approved. Report Says That Hardicanute Drank. Died From Eating Roast Pig A Kins' Laconic Answer to His Enemies. Copyright, 1800, by J. B. Lippincott Company. CHAPTER VIL Let us now look for a moment into the reigns of Harold I and Hardicanute, a pair of unpopular reigns, which, al though brief, "were yet long enough. Queen Emma, of course, desired the coronation of Hardicanute ; but, though supported by Earl Godwin, a man of great inuflciico and educated to a high degree for his tune able indeed, it is said, at a moment's notice, to add up things and reduce things to a common denominator it could not be. Harold, tho compromise candidate, reigned from 1037 to 1040. He gained Godwin to his side, and together they lured the sons of Emma by Ethelred viz, Alfred and Edward to town, and, as a sort of royal practical joke, put out Alfred's eyes, causing his death. Harold was a swift sprinter and was called "Harefoot" by those who were intimate enough to exchange calls and coarse anecdotes with him. He died in 1040 A. D., and nobody ever had a moro general approval for doing so than Harold. Hardicanute now came forth from his apartments and "was received as king with every demonstration of joy, and for some weeks he and dyspepsia had it all their own way on Piccadilly. (Re port says that he drank! Several times while under the influence of liquor he abdicated the throne with a dull thud, but was reinstated by the polica ) Em-age- d by the death of Alfred, the king had the remains of Harold e.xhum- - ed and thrown into a fen. This a-f- en sivo act showed what a great big, broad nature Hardicanute had : also the kind of timber used in making a king in those days. Godwin, however, seems to have been a good political aero oat and was on more sdies of more questions than any body else of those times. Though con nected with the white cap affair by which Alfred lost his eyesight and his life, he proved an alibi, or spasdomdic paresis, or something, and, having stood "KING HAROLD IS DEAD, SIRE." a compurgation and "ordeal" trial, was released. The historian very truly but inelegantly says, if memory serves the writer accurately, that Godwin was such political straddle bug that ho early abandoned the use of pantaloons and returned to the toga, which was the only garment able to stand the strain of his political cuttings up. The shire mote, or county court of those days, was composed of a dozen thanes or cheap nobles, who had to swear that they had not read tho ers and had not formed or exprcss-x- l an opinion and that their minds were in a state of complete vacancy. It was a sort of primary jury, and each could point with pride to the vast collection he had made of things he did not know and had not formed or expressed an opinion about. If one did not like the verdict of this court, he could appeal to the king on a certiorari or some such thine: as that. Tho accused could clear himself by his own oath and that of others, but with- out these he had to stand what was call- ed the "ordeal," which consisted in walking on hot plowshares without ex- pressing derogatory opinion regarding the plowshares or showing contempt of court. Sometimes the accused had to run his arm into boiling water. If after three days the injury had disappeared, the defendant was discharged and costs taxed against the king. Hardicanute only reigned two years, and in 1042 A. D. died at a nuptial banquet and cast a gloom over tho whole thing. In those times it was a common thing for the king or some of the nobility to die between the roast pig and the pork pie. It was not unusual to see each noble with a Toast pig tete-a-tet- e, each confronting the other, the living and the dead. At this time it is said by the old set- tlers that hog cholera thinned out the nobility a good deal, whether directly or indirectly they do not say. The English had now wearied of the Danish yoke. "Why wear the Danish yoke," they asked, "and be ruled with a rod of iron?" Edward, half brother of Edmund Ironside, was therefore nominated and chosen kinsr. Godwin, who seemed to be specially gifted as a versatile ctin--" noisseur of "crow, turned up as his political adviser. Edward, afterward called "tho Con- fessor, " at once stripped Queen Emma of ail her means, f cr he had no love left for her, as she had failed repeatedly to assist hizz vhen ho was an. outcast, and afterward the new king placed her in jail (or gaol, rather) at Winchester. This should teach mothera' to be more obedient or they will surely come to some bad end. Edward was educated in ITormandy and so was quite partial to the Nor- mans. He appointed many of them to important positions in both church and state. Even the see of Canterbury was given to a Norman. The see saw how it was going, no doubt, and accepted the position. But let us pass on rapidly tc something else, for thereby variety may be given to these pages, and, as one fact seems to call for another, truth, which for the time being may be apparently crushed to earth, may rise again. Godwin disliked the introduction oi the Norman tongue and Norman cus- toms in England, and when Eustace, count of Boulogne and author of the sausage which bears his name, commit DTIKG BETWEEN COURSES. ted an act of violence against the people of Dover, they arose as one man drove out the foreigners and fumigated the town as well as the ferry running to Calais. This caused trouble between Edward and Godwin, which led to the deposi- tion of tho latter, who, with his sons, was compelled to flee. But later he re- turned, and his popularity in England among the home people compelled the king to sh him. Soon afterward Godwin died, and Harold, his son, succeeded him success- fully. Godwin was an able man and got several earldoms for his wife and rela- tives at a time when that was just what they needed. An earldom then was not a mere empty title, with nothing in it but a blue sash and a scorbutic tempera- ment, but it gave almost absolute au- thority over one or more shires and was also a good piece of property. These his- torical facts took place in or about the year 1054 A. D. Edv ard having no children, together with a sort of misgiving about ever hav ing any to speak of, called home Ed ward the Outlaw, son of Edmund Iron- side, to succeed to the throne, but scarce- ly had he reached the shores of England when he died, leaving a son, Edgar. William of Normandy, a cousin of the king, now appears on the scene. He claimed to be entitled to the first crack at the throne, and that the king had promised to bequeath it to him. He even lured Harold, the heir apparently, to Normandy, and while under the influ- ence of stimulants compelled Harold to swear that he would sustain William's claim to the throne. The wily William also inserted some holy relics of great potency under the altar used for swear- - g purposes, but Harold recovered when he got out again into the fresh air and snapped his fingers at William and his relics. Jan. o, 106G, Edward died, and was buried in Westminster abbey, which had just been inclosed and the roof put on. Harold, who had- - practiced a little while as earl, and so felt that he could reign easily by beginning moderately and only reigning forenoons, ascended the throne. Edward tho Confessor was a good, durable monarch, but not brilliant. Ho was the first to let people touch him on Tuesdays and Fridays for scrofula or nng'seviL" He also made a set of laws that were an improvement on some of the old ones. He was canonized about a century after his death by the pope, but as to whether it "took" or not the historian seems strangely dumb. He was the last of the royal Saxon line, but ether self made Saxons reigned after him in torrents. Edgar Atheling, son of Edward the Ontlaw, was the only surviving male of the royal line, but he was not old enough to succeed to tho throne, and Harold H accepted the portfolio. He was crowned at Westminster ou the day of King Edward's burial. This infuriat- ed William of Normandy, who remind- ed Harold of his first degree oath and his pledge that he would keep it "or have his salary cut from year to year. " Oh, how irritated William was! He got down his gun and bade the ether Normans who desired an outing to do the same. Trouble also arose with Tcstig, the king's brother, aud his Norwegian ally, Hardrada, but the king defeated the al- - yS. I nam' EDWARD STRIPS EMMA OF HER MEANS. lied forces at Stamford bridge, near York, where both of these misguided leaders bit the dust. Previous to the battle there was a brief parley, and the king told Tostig the best he could do with him. "And what can you give my ally, Hardrada?" queried the astute Tostig. "Seven feet of English ground," of answered the king roguishly, "or possi- bly more, as Hardrada is rather taller than the average," or words to that effect. "Then let the fight go on!" an- swered of Tostig, taking a couple of hard boiled eggs from his pocket and crack- ing has them on the pommel of his saddle, for he had not eaten anything but a broiled shote since breakfast. That night both he and Hardrada oc- cupied a double grave on the right hand side of the road leading to York. Brix Nye. Pale. thin, bloodless people ghonld oso Dr. 8aw cts. rer's Utntlne.

Bochefort's recent advocacy of temperance las directed attention to the consumption of absinth in Prance, and somo startling statements in connection therewith are being made. Men as a rule take tho absinth diluted in water, sipping it slowly. But the women to tho nnnsfprnation of the doctors, insist, as a rule, on drinking it "neat," with most terrible results to their constitu- tions. The number of brilliant men whom France has lost through the abuse of the opalescent but poisonous fluid, from the great poet Alfred de Musset, who used to bo picked up drunk and half dead every night in the streets, down, to the celebrated artist and caricaturist, Andre Gill, is simply appalling. An idea of the extent of the evil may be gathered from the recent returns of the ministry of finance, which show that at the presentmoment there is a marchand de vin, or French absinth seller, to ev- ery three houses in the French metropo- lis.

Washington Star. A Vigorous Old Xady. One of these aged Maine people, Mr3. Sally Pratt of Norway, who is 98 years old, is getting newspaper attention as an investor, managing her property without assistance, and, it is said, so as to make money by every venture. Mrs. Pratt, whose maiden name was Sally Gardener, was the daughter of John Gardener, a fisherman and small farm- er at Poland, and when 23 years old she married Jacob Brown, the young couple settling on a small farm in Poland. By industry and frugality they acquired considerable property, including real es- tate and two country stores. Mr. Brown died in 1850, and his widow managed the business for ten years, at the end of which time she married Zebedee Pratt, a pensioner of the war of 1812. Soon after she sold her stores and part of he! real estate, investing the proceeds in bank stock, etc. As an instance of Mrs. Pratt's industry in her younger days, ii is told that one winter, during her hus- band's absence in Aroostook, she took care of 20 cattle and horses, did the housework for six boarders and ran a country store that did business enough to employ two clerks. Lewiston Jour- nal Packing; Away Fnrs. This is the time when furs are being relegated lo a summer seclusion. It is well known that the hot sun is more disastrous to a seal sack or cape than a whole winter's wear, and it is tho wise woman who does not expose her handsome fur garment to its ardent beams. An excellent plan to keep furs and woolens from the invasion of those destroying pests, moths, i3 to look them over in a strong light and beat them thoroughly till not an egg can remain. Then pack away in a clean, tight bar- rel, whose interior has been carefully pasted over with newspaper. When the barrel is full, paste over the top a dou- ble thickness of newspaper, taking care that no single aperture is left anywhero for the entrance of the insect. A board or stiff pasteboard may be laid over the top, merely to protect the paper cover. If the barrel can stand where nothing will be likely to fall upon it, the extra cover is not needed. New York Times. Athletic Girls' Attire. For athletic purposes, such as golfing, tennis and cycling, the jersey is quite the proper thing. They arc of any con- ceivable color and combination, plaided, striped and woven in lozenge and other fancy patterns. These useful waists are worn with substantial leather belts and are becoming, comfortable and econom- ical. Cyclers' suits are made in moro fanciful manner than formerly, and in London aro frequently seen of white serge or mohair. The shapes are vari- ous, one of the latest being the empire, which is so constructed that either a -- man's or lady's wheel can be used. It consists of divided skirt, which is pro- vided with a flap front, concealing tho division and falling gracefully over the wheel. Exch ange. HIlss I.ena Saunders.

SHOULD WOMAN PROPOSE?

Mrs.Gllxnoor's Witty and Timely Answer tothe Question In the Now York Herald.The New York Herald has been hav

ing a letter contest on the subject, "HowFar May a Woman Go to EncourageMan to Propose?"

Mrs. James Gilmour of Brooklynwrote the winning letter, and . as thesubject is one that will interest allwomen, and as lier letter is especiallywitty, here are Mrs. Gilmour's ideas asshe gavo iUem to Tho Herald:

Dress becomingly for him, but nevergaudily. When ho is absent from youwrite him a few interesting, chatty letters, wnerem, it you are an attept inthe art, you can weave a few insinuatmg expressions wnicn may worn wonders. "The pen is mightier than thesword."

Above all else, provo yourself a goodlistener. If ho monopolizes three-third- s

I should scarcely advise your treatinghim to specimens of your cookery. Hismother might excel in the culinary art.Moreover, it was an uncooked applewith which Mother Eve beguiled Adam.

If you are making any progress withhim, accord him trifling familiarities,which may be increased in proportionto his affability and his interest in you.Your womanly intuition should by thistime enable you to judge whether ornot youliavo found favor in his sightand to act accordingly. "Be ye wise asserpents, but harmless, as doves."

Should there spring up between youa mutual regard, treat him to some ofthose dainty feminine touches which areindescribable, not because they arewomanly or wrong, but because theirlanguage is mute and sacred to the twopersons most concerned.

Do not always agree with him. It issometimes wiser to agree to disagree.

If you have a spark of wit in your nature, you ought by this time to havemade yourself so necessary to his exist-ence that he will mis3 you sadly whenabsent and will besrin to realize that

line at promiscuous osculation. Neverpermit him to kiss you. That is theprivilege of the engaged. But since theapostle says, "Greet ye one anotherwith an holy kiss, " you might vouchsafe him just one some night at part-ing, perhaps. But if he attempts to return it do not permit it. Tell him, "Itis more blessed to give than to receive. "

Finally, yon might inform him thatyou can put him in the way of findinga "good thing," and refer him to thenineteenth chapter of Proverbs, thetwenty-secon- d verse.

OF ENGLAND.

Chronicles of a Pair of Unpopular Reigns.

HAE0LD I A2TD HAEDI0AMTE,

Death of the Former Generally Approved.Report Says That Hardicanute Drank.Died From Eating Roast Pig A Kins'Laconic Answer to His Enemies.

Copyright, 1800, by J. B. Lippincott Company.

CHAPTER VILLet us now look for a moment into

the reigns of Harold I and Hardicanute,a pair of unpopular reigns, which, although brief, "were yet long enough.

Queen Emma, of course, desired thecoronation of Hardicanute ; but, thoughsupported by Earl Godwin, a man ofgreat inuflciico and educated to a highdegree for his tune able indeed, it issaid, at a moment's notice, to add upthings and reduce things to a commondenominator it could not be.

Harold, tho compromise candidate,reigned from 1037 to 1040. He gainedGodwin to his side, and together theylured the sons of Emma by Ethelredviz, Alfred and Edward to town, and,as a sort of royal practical joke, put outAlfred's eyes, causing his death.

Harold was a swift sprinter and wascalled "Harefoot" by those who wereintimate enough to exchange calls andcoarse anecdotes with him.

He died in 1040 A. D., and nobodyever had a moro general approval fordoing so than Harold.

Hardicanute now came forth from hisapartments and "was received as kingwith every demonstration of joy, andfor some weeks he and dyspepsia had itall their own way on Piccadilly. (Report says that he drank! Several timeswhile under the influence of liquor heabdicated the throne with a dull thud,but was reinstated by the polica )

Em-age- d by the death of Alfred, theking had the remains of Harold e.xhum- -

ed and thrown into a fen. This a-f- en

sivo act showed what a great big, broadnature Hardicanute had : also the kindof timber used in making a king inthose days.

Godwin, however, seems to have beena good political aerooat and was onmore sdies of more questions than anybody else of those times. Though connected with the white cap affair bywhich Alfred lost his eyesight and hislife, he proved an alibi, or spasdomdicparesis, or something, and, having stood

"KING HAROLD IS DEAD, SIRE."a compurgation and "ordeal" trial, wasreleased. The historian very truly butinelegantly says, if memory serves thewriter accurately, that Godwin was such

political straddle bug that ho earlyabandoned the use of pantaloons andreturned to the toga, which was theonly garment able to stand the strain ofhis political cuttings up.

The shire mote, or county court ofthose days, was composed of a dozenthanes or cheap nobles, who had toswear that they had not read tho ers

and had not formed or exprcss-x- l anopinion and that their minds were in astate of complete vacancy. It was a sortof primary jury, and each could pointwith pride to the vast collection he hadmade of things he did not know andhad not formed or expressed an opinionabout.

If one did not like the verdict of thiscourt, he could appeal to the king on acertiorari or some such thine: as that.Tho accused could clear himself by hisown oath and that of others, but with-out these he had to stand what was call-ed the "ordeal," which consisted inwalking on hot plowshares without ex-

pressing derogatory opinion regardingthe plowshares or showing contempt ofcourt. Sometimes the accused had torun his arm into boiling water. If afterthree days the injury had disappeared,the defendant was discharged and coststaxed against the king.

Hardicanute only reigned two years,and in 1042 A. D. died at a nuptialbanquet and cast a gloom over thowhole thing. In those times it was acommon thing for the king or some ofthe nobility to die between the roast pigand the pork pie. It was not unusualto see each noble with a Toast pig tete-a-tet- e,

each confronting the other, theliving and the dead.

At this time it is said by the old set-

tlers that hog cholera thinned out thenobility a good deal, whether directlyor indirectly they do not say.

The English had now wearied of theDanish yoke. "Why wear the Danishyoke," they asked, "and be ruled witha rod of iron?"

Edward, half brother of EdmundIronside, was therefore nominated andchosen kinsr. Godwin, who seemed to

be specially gifted as a versatile ctin--"

noisseur of "crow, turned up as hispolitical adviser.

Edward, afterward called "tho Con-

fessor, " at once stripped Queen Emmaof ail her means, fcr he had no love leftfor her, as she had failed repeatedly toassist hizz vhen ho was an. outcast, andafterward the new king placed her injail (or gaol, rather) at Winchester.This should teach mothera' to be moreobedient or they will surely come tosome bad end.

Edward was educated in ITormandyand so was quite partial to the Nor-mans. He appointed many of them toimportant positions in both church andstate. Even the see of Canterbury wasgiven to a Norman. The see saw how itwas going, no doubt, and accepted theposition. But let us pass on rapidly tcsomething else, for thereby variety maybe given to these pages, and, as one factseems to call for another, truth, whichfor the time being may be apparentlycrushed to earth, may rise again.

Godwin disliked the introduction oithe Norman tongue and Norman cus-toms in England, and when Eustace,count of Boulogne and author of thesausage which bears his name, commit

ted an act of violence against the peopleof Dover, they arose as one man droveout the foreigners and fumigated thetown as well as the ferry running toCalais.

This caused trouble between Edwardand Godwin, which led to the deposi-tion of tho latter, who, with his sons,was compelled to flee. But later he re-turned, and his popularity in Englandamong the home people compelled theking to sh him.

Soon afterward Godwin died, andHarold, his son, succeeded him success-fully. Godwin was an able man and gotseveral earldoms for his wife and rela-tives at a time when that was just whatthey needed. An earldom then was nota mere empty title, with nothing in it buta blue sash and a scorbutic tempera-ment, but it gave almost absolute au-thority over one or more shires and wasalso a good piece of property. These his-torical facts took place in or about theyear 1054 A. D.

Edv ard having no children, togetherwith a sort of misgiving about ever having any to speak of, called home Edward the Outlaw, son of Edmund Iron-side, to succeed to the throne, but scarce-ly had he reached the shores of Englandwhen he died, leaving a son, Edgar.

William of Normandy, a cousin ofthe king, now appears on the scene. Heclaimed to be entitled to the first crackat the throne, and that the king hadpromised to bequeath it to him. He evenlured Harold, the heir apparently, toNormandy, and while under the influ-ence of stimulants compelled Harold toswear that he would sustain William'sclaim to the throne. The wily Williamalso inserted some holy relics of greatpotency under the altar used for swear--

g purposes, but Harold recoveredwhen he got out again into the fresh airand snapped his fingers at William andhis relics.

Jan. o, 106G, Edward died, and wasburied in Westminster abbey, whichhad just been inclosed and the roof puton.

Harold, who had- - practiced a littlewhile as earl, and so felt that he couldreign easily by beginning moderatelyand only reigning forenoons, ascendedthe throne.

Edward tho Confessor was a good,durable monarch, but not brilliant. Howas the first to let people touch him onTuesdays and Fridays for scrofula or

nng'seviL" He also made a set oflaws that were an improvement on someof the old ones. He was canonized abouta century after his death by the pope,but as to whether it "took" or not thehistorian seems strangely dumb.

He was the last of the royal Saxonline, but ether self made Saxons reignedafter him in torrents.

Edgar Atheling, son of Edward theOntlaw, was the only surviving maleof the royal line, but he was not oldenough to succeed to tho throne, andHarold H accepted the portfolio. Hewas crowned at Westminster ou the dayof King Edward's burial. This infuriat-ed William of Normandy, who remind-ed Harold of his first degree oath andhis pledge that he would keep it "orhave his salary cut from year to year. "

Oh, how irritated William was! Hegot down his gun and bade the etherNormans who desired an outing to dothe same.

Trouble also arose with Tcstig, theking's brother, aud his Norwegian ally,Hardrada, but the king defeated the al- -

lied forces at Stamford bridge, nearYork, where both of these misguidedleaders bit the dust. Previous to thebattle there was a brief parley, and theking told Tostig the best he could dowith him. "And what can you give myally, Hardrada?" queried the astuteTostig. "Seven feet of English ground," ofanswered the king roguishly, "or possi-

bly more, as Hardrada is rather tallerthan the average," or words to thateffect. "Then let the fight go on!" an-

sweredofTostig, taking a couple of hard

boiled eggs from his pocket and crack-

inghas

them on the pommel of his saddle,for he had not eaten anything but abroiled shote since breakfast.

That night both he and Hardrada oc-

cupied a double grave on the right handside of the road leading to York.

A Vigorous Old Xady.One of these aged Maine people, Mr3.

Sally Pratt of Norway, who is 98 yearsold, is getting newspaper attention asan investor, managing her propertywithout assistance, and, it is said, so asto make money by every venture. Mrs.Pratt, whose maiden name was SallyGardener, was the daughter of JohnGardener, a fisherman and small farm-er at Poland, and when 23 years old shemarried Jacob Brown, the young couplesettling on a small farm in Poland. Byindustry and frugality they acquiredconsiderable property, including real es-

tate and two country stores. Mr. Browndied in 1850, and his widow managedthe business for ten years, at the end ofwhich time she married Zebedee Pratt,a pensioner of the war of 1812. Soonafter she sold her stores and part of he!real estate, investing the proceeds inbank stock, etc. As an instance of Mrs.Pratt's industry in her younger days, iiis told that one winter, during her hus-band's absence in Aroostook, she tookcare of 20 cattle and horses, did thehousework for six boarders and ran acountry store that did business enoughto employ two clerks.
