John now became mixed up in fra

have been justified in giving him Ro-

knows.
On the death of the archbishop of
Canterbury in 1905 Stephen Langton
was elected to the place, with a good
salary and use Of the rectory. John re-
fused to confirm the appointment, where
at Innocent III, the pontiff, closed the
churches and declared a general lock

pontiff and in 1918 agreed to pay him

harbor Of Damme. Philip afterward ad

quered by Damme site, but the pops
absolved him for So.

cd Of work Of the people engaged in
grinding the knives.
The grinders, men and women, lay
stretched out ON wooden planks, over
which they sometimes throw sheepskins
to soften the boards. Head, shoulders
and arms reach over the end of the
board. and with their hands they hold
increasingly the rough steel blades upon
the big grindstone which revolves be-
meath them by means Of a powerful yet
simple transmission. It is a very COM
ical aspect to see these people at work,
particularly because every one Of the
workmen has small, long haired dog,
who serves as sort of live stove. Dur
ing the long winter in the mountains a
body stretched out at full length suffers
much from cold in these i'll protected
mills, and since it is not possible for
the workman to warm himself by q
change of position or by moving his
limbs this peculiar expedient has been
adopted in Theirs The dogs are we'll

HOW TO CURE YOURSELF WHILE

The tobacco habit grows on a man until
his nervous system is seriously affected, i'm

Among other things the right of trial

Among other things the right of trial
by his peers was granted to the free
man, and so, out of the mental and
moral chaos and general strabismus Of
royal justice, everlasting truth and hui
man rights arose.
Scarcely was the ink dry on Magma
Charta, and hardly had the king return
ed his tongue to its place after signing
the instrument, when he began to or
ganize an army Of foreign soldiers, with
which he laid waste with fire and sword
the better part of "Merrie Englande. -
But the barons called on Philip, the
general salaried peacemaker plenipoten-
tiary, who sent his son Louis with an
army to overtake John and punish him
severely. The king was overtaken by
the tide and lost all his luggage, treas
ure, hatbox, dress suit case, return tick
ct, annual address, shootguns, stab
knives, rolling stock and catapults, to-
gether with a fine flock of battering
rams.
This loss brought on a fever, of which
he died, in 1915 A. D., after 10 years of
reign and wind
A good execrator could here pause q
few weeks and do well.
History holds but few such characters
as John, who was not successful even
in crime. He may be regarded roughly
as the royal poultice who brought mat
tiers to head in England, and who by
means of his treachery, cowardice and
phenomenal villainy acted as counter
irritant upon the malarial surfaceof the
body polite.
After the death Of John the Earl Of
Pembroke, who WAS marshal Of Eng
land, caused Henry, the 9-year-old son
Of the late king, to be promptly crowned.

FREE SILVER MEXICO.


Examples are the strongest kind
of argument, and to the average
mind will carry weight when subtle
reasoning fails. The silver craze,
which is sweeping over the country,
has affected all classes of people.
There are those who-if they have
not done twill study the question
seriously and come to rational con-
rlusion. Others will refuse to let in
the light, and declare, as one man
did. on the streets of The Dalles not
a week ago, that he would 'svote for
a dog if the dog were for free silver"
With such a man argument has no
force, and to reason with him is but
Awaste of energy. He can, how
ever, be reached by some concrete
example, and no better one can be
brought forward than the illustration
of Mexico, q country which rests
purely and simply upon the silver
basis.
Francis E. Clark-the president of
the president of the Society of Chris
tian Endeavor, has just returned
from a journey through Mexico, and
his observations are most timely
He writes not as partisan of silver
nor gold, but simply as a traveller
who has kept his eyes open. The

found It's way, to any great extent,
into the pockets of the poor people
Wages are evidently on the highest
sort of gold basis. A number Of
my friends told me that they pay
their cooks about five dollars a
month, about one quarter the price
of sucL labor in the United States.
In the country district an able
bodied man earns six dollars (Mexi-
CAM a month; three dollars Gamer
ican) and his board; while a fair
days wages in city or country for
a laboring man is fifty cents (Mexi-
CAM, twenty-five cents (American).
Nowhere are beggars more in evil
dence than in prosperous CO Mex

better than that of the fellahin of
Egypt or the pariahs of India. Is

financiers to say. I simply record
the impressions of traveller
This is impartial testimony, and
the verdict for which it forms a
basis is that free silver is inimical to
the welfare of nation. The nat
ural resources of Mexico should place
it among the great nations, yet It is
occupying all inferior position, and
the reason is not hard to see.

SCHOOL BOARD MUST GO TO JAIL
Eight Members OF the st. Louis d.

ST.. LOUIS, NAV 1I.-Eight members
of the st. Lonis school board were
each fined $25 and costs and sentenced
to ten days in the Cole County Jail by
the Supreme Court at Jefferson City
Tuesday for contempt of court. The
victims are: President Henry Bus,
vice-president Herman G. Grave and
William Landvogt, f. Henry WORT
riedte, William Godfrey, II. H. Robe
mack, Ii. G. Koeing and Elmer E.
Lacey. All of these are Republicans.
The eleven other members who APP
peared before the court were dis
charged. The sentences we're sus-
pended for five days in order to give
the directors time to hold a meeting
in st. Louis to call the special school
election in the tenth district and to
appoint an equal number of judges
and clerks from the two parties i'm ac-
cordance with the mandate of the Su-
preme Court. At the end of that time
the eight members a~djudged guilty OF
contempt will go to Jefferson City and
be ~incarcerated in the Cole County
Jail to serve their sentences. Besides
the S25 fine the eight directors will al
so have to pay the entire costs of the
contempt proceedings, which, it is
said, will amount to several hundred
dollars,
