dollars. This is all that can
be legally charged. Applica-
ton for U. S. lands, must be
made to the land Office at

The phrase, "Peeping Tom
of Coventry" comes from q
legend which recites that in
104O, Leofric, Earl of Mercia
and Lord of Coventry. imposed
certain exactions on his tens
ants, which his wife, Lady
Godiva, besought him to re-
move. At last he agreed to
her request, on condition that
she should ride naked through
the town. She took him at his
word, and he stood by his
promise. The story is that
every inhabitant of Coventry
kept indoors as Lady Godiva
rode through the streets, but a
certain tailor peeped through
his window to see her pass.
Some say he was struk blind ;
others that the ! indignant
people put out his A6yes !; and
others that he was killed. Ger
tain it is that he has been called
"Peeping Tom Of Coventry
ever since. Tennyson has writ
ten a poem based on this story.
