CHAPTER ".
And now, having led the eager stu
dent up to the year 827 A. D., let us
take him forward from the foundation
of the English monarchy to the days of
William the Conqueror, 1865.
Egbert, one of the kings of Wessex,
reigned practically over Roman Britain
when the country was invaded by the
Mortimer (Swedes, Norwegians and
6anes), who treated the Anglo-Saxon
as the Anglo Saxon had formerly treat
ed the poor Britain
These Mortimer were rather coarse
people and even put the Angle-Saxons
to the blush sometimes. They exercised
vigorously, and thus their appetites
were sharp enough to cut a hair. They
at first came in the capacity Of pirates,
sliding stea1thily into isolated coast set
Elements on Saturday evening and eat
ing up the Sunday victuals, capturing
the girls of the Bible class and sailing
away. But later they came as conquer
ors and boarded with the peasantry per-
manently.
Egbert formed an alliance with his
old enemies, the Welsh, and gained a
great victory over the Mortimer, but
when he died and left EthelwQf, his
son, in charge of the throne, he made a
great mistake. Ethelwof was a poor
king, being given more to religious
exercises than reigning, says the his
torian. He would often exhibit his piety
in order to draw attention away from
his royal incompetency. He was not the
first or last to smother the call to duty
under the cry Of halleluiah. Like the
little steamer engine with the big whis-

tie, when he whistled the boat stopped
He did not have a boiler big enough to
push the great ship of state and shout
amen at the same time.
Ethelwolf defeated the enemy in one
great battle, but too hate to prevent a
hold up upon the island Of Thanet and
afterward at Shippey, near London,
where the enemy settled himself
Yet Ethelwof made pilgrimage to
Rome with Alfred, then years old "a.
D. $780, He was gone year, during
which time very little reigning was
dome at home, and the Mortimer kept
making treaties and coming over in
larger droves
EthelwoH visited Charles the Bald Of
France at this time and married his
daughter Judith incidentally. Ethel
wof's eldest son died during the kings
absence and was succeeded as eldest son
BY Ethelbald (heir apparent, though he
had no hair apparently, who did not rec
ognize the old gentleman or allow him
to be seated on his own throne when he
came back, but Ethelwof gave the
naughty EthelbaM the western half of
the Kingdom rather than have trouble.
But Badly died and was succeeded by
Ethelbert, who died six years later, and
Ethelred, in 866, took charge till 871,
when he died of a wound received in
battle and closed out the Ethel business
to Alfred
The Danes had meantime rif1ed the
country with their crossguns and killed
Edmund, the good king Of East Anglia,
who was afterward canonized, though
gunpowder had not then been invented.
Alfred was not only a godly king, but
had good education and was great
admirer of Dickens and Thackeray.

inaccessibility, and then he made raids
on the Danes. OF course he had to live
roughly and must deny himself his up
right piano for his country's good
In order to obtain more thorough
knowledge of the Danes and their num-
Der, he distinguished himself as a harper
or portable orchestra and visited the
Danish camp, where he was introduced
to Guthrun and was invited to BAN
quet, where he told several new anec-
dotes and spoke in such a humorous
way that the army was sorry to see him
go away and still sorrier when, few
days later, armed cap-a-pie, he mopped
up the greensward with his enemy and
secured the best of terms from him.
While incog. Alfred stopped at hut
where he was asked to turn the pam
cakes as they required it, but in the alb
sence Of the hostess he got to thinking
Of esoteric subjects, or something pro-
found, and allowed the cakes to burn.
The housewife returned in time to ex-
press her sentiments and large box to
his address
He now converted Guthrun and had
him immersed, which took first rate,
and other Danes got immersed Thus
the national antagonism to water was
overcome, and today the English who
are descended from the Danes are not
appalled, at the sight of water.
AS result Of Guthrun's conversion
the Danes agreed to a permanent settle
ment along the exposed portion of Great
Britain, by which they became uncon-
sciously living rampant between the
Saxons and other incursionists.
Now peace began to reign up to 1913,
and Alfred improved the time by re.
building the desolated cities-Londor
especially, which had become sight tt

the peasantry to shut up their unicornt
during certain seasons of the year and
keep them out Of the crops, also protect

historians are such great jokers that tn,

THE GROWING DEFICIT.

AS was foreseen and predicted the treas
ury statements for March show expendi-
lures in excess of revenues for that month.
and the total deficit for the nine months
that have elapsed of the current fiscal wear
is now about $4,000, 900. During this
month there are large amounts of interest
to be paid, and as there is little hope OF
increased revenues the monthly shortcom-
ing will be much greater than that for
March. so that all hope of keeping the de-
icit for the year below $25 200, 900 must
now be abandoned even by that sangulne
estimator Mr.. Carlisle himself.
Ever since the income tax was declared
unconstitutional it has been known to
statesmen and students of our financial
system that under the existing laws the
revenues would not equal the necessary
expenditures Of the country. Even with

who have no interest in Tuolumne any other
county, but delight in opposing everything in
the line of progression A petition recently
circulated in favor of my proposition has met
with the approval and signature of most of the
reliable and tax-paying residents of the county,
