KING ALFRED TRANSLATED SEVERAL BOOKS.
ed He was brave soldier, a successful
all around monarch and a progressive
citizen in an age of beastly ignorance
crime, superstition, self indulgence and
pathetic stupidity.
He translated several books for the
people, established or repaired the Uni
versity of Oxford and originated the
idea, adopted by the Japanese 1000
years later Of borrowing the scholars of
other nations and cheerfully adopting
the improvements Of other countries,
instead of following the hidebound and
stupid conservatism and ignorance be-
queathed by father to son as result
of blind and offensive pride which is
sometimes called patriotism.

CHAPTER ".
And now, having led the eager stu
dent up to the year S27 A. D., let us
take him forward from the foundation
of the English monarchy to the days of
William the Conqueror, 1866.
Egbert, one of the kings Of Wessex,
reigned practically over Roman Britain
when the country was invaded by the
Mortimer (Swedes, Norwegians and
Danes), 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 Anglo-Saxons
to the blush sometimes. They exercised
vigorously, and thus their appetites

Egbert formed an alliance with his
old enemies, the Welsh, and gained a
great victory over the Mortimer, but
when he died and left Ethelwolf, his
son, in charge Of the throne, ~ made
great mistake. Ethelwolf Yves a poor
king, "being given more to religious

Bob Bnrdett's Understanding.

Here's Bob Burdett's understanding
of the Monroe doctrine: rhe Monroe
doctrine, Bidwell, simply means and
implicitly declares that no foreign
nation snail come over here and slide
down our cellar door; that England
and France shall not hang on our front
gate to do their courting; that they
can't bring over their own syrup pots
and elder sprouts and make syrup III
our maple grove; that Germany and
Austria cant spot no bee tree in our
woods; that Italy cant cut her fire
wood out of our hedgerows; that
Russia can't spank her neighbor's
children with our butter paddle. The
Monroe doctrine simply means that we
are the bull of the woods between two
oceans and that the man who joins
farms with us on on either side had
better not move the boundary fence
until he talks to us about it, and that
he can't sub-let II patch on his farm to
anybody until we are satisfied that the
new tenant will m Ike a good II n,ighbor
to us. That's about all there is of it.

Impossible to Please All,

Grant City Times.
In our journalistic career covering
about twenty-five years, we have often
wished that it were possible to chron-
icle all news without offence to any
one. We have no more desire to
wound the feelings of individuals than
any other person engaged in business,
and indeed not so much as some people
seem to have. Our nature is pacific
and it often hurts us as much to say q
thing rs 1t hurts the person of whom it
Is said. But il we didn't say it we
would be falling short of the duty that
custom has imposed on newspaper
men. People subscribe to and pay for
the news and when they do not get it
they have proper cause for complaint.
The newspapers customers are the
hardest to please. And it happens too
that those who are loudest in commend
lug the newspaper for holding up to
the public the wrong doing of individ-
uals, are also the lOudest in condemna-
ton when their own toes are stepped
on. Long experience in newspaper
work has convinced us that 1t is impos-
sible to please everybody in the publI-
cation of a paper as it is to make
everybody believe in one theory of
religion or politics. We always aim 10
be right or as nearly so as 1t is possible
for us to be, and then we drive our
stake and stay with it until shown that
we are wrong. That is our view of
honest journalism.

The Actress.

From Life.
She is young, but she has been young
a very long time.
She is blonde, but she hasn't been
blonde so very long.
On the stage blonde hair means
innocence and virtue; off the stage It
doesn't-at least, not always. You
feel convinced, however, as she talks
to you that she has sacrificed not only
her natural bair but also her natural
accent simply on account of her dearly
loved profession. A31
She is always rehearsing. Even In
her moments of ease she sits in photo-
graphic attitudes and she has elocu-
tionary methods for calling for coal.
She has no ineffective moments, and
even when you catch her in dishabille
you observe that it has been carefully
disarranged.
She is particular to have a suitable
background and harmonious accesso-
ries, for she is an artist. One accessory
which she keeps we'll IN the background
is a husband. She seldom finds him
harmonious for longer than a year,
however. She renews him constantly.
She says that she considers beauty
abrolutely essential to dramatic success.
After this assertion she looks con-
sciously unconscious and remarks that
she supposes she has had her share of
success.
She has repeatedly been told by men
of discrimination that she IS the ideal
Trilby, and born TO play the parts OF
Camille and Juliet.
Her favorite amusements are face
steaming, manicure and pasting press
notices into scrapbooks. Although the
press has noticed her to the extent of
several volumes, one is always more
inclined to remember her as the pro-
moter of a certain sleeve lining and
tonic wine than rs a great histrionic
genius.

QIeen VictOria's Houses.

new OK sun:
The announcement that Queen Vic
toIia Is 70 leave, by will, Osborn House
to one daughter and Balmoral, the
royal residence in the Highlands, TO
the Duke ofCOnnaught, recalls the fact
, that the man who would devour this
particular widows houses must make an
, uncomonly full meal. 1t was discov-
cred a few years since that the Queen
owned GOO houses in various parts
of England, not royal residences but
rent-yielding property, and that about
5000 houses had been built by crown
lessees on building leaseholds held by
the Queen. She then had also rents
from markets and tolls from ferries,
besides the proceeds of mines and
other works upon her property or the
crown property. She had large estates
in Yorkshire, Oxfordshire and Berks,
valuable lands IN the Isle of Man and
in Alderney, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales. Of the New Forest there are
about 1900 acres of absolute and
sixty-three acres of contingent crown
property. Her majesty enjoys income
from the Forest of Dean, from several
other forests and from rich properties
in and about London.
Osborn, on the Isle of Wight, and
Balmoral, in the Highlands, are the
private property of the Queen, and are
maintained out of her own income.
But she has the use of few royal
palaces besides, and these are main
tanned by the nation at an annual
expenditure ranging from 81, 500 to
$50, 900. The Queen is in the occn-
pancy of Buckingham palace, Windsor
castle, the White lodge at Richmond
park and part of St. James palace.
The remainder of the last named palace
is occupied by other members of the
royal family. Other royal palaces main
tained as such, although not IN the
occupancy of the Queen, are Kensing-
ton palace, Hampton court, which
according to a recent estimate, based
on the statistics of eight or ten years,
costs the nation on the average over
$40, 200 year; Kew palace, Pembroke
lodge, the Thatched cottage and Sheen
cottage, Richmond park, Bushy house
IN Bushy park, and Holyrood palace.
The Queen, when she visits the con-
tinent, has one great house or another,
with whatever repairs and refurnish-
ings are necessary to tit it for a
temporary royal occHp ant, although
for all this she pays out of her own
income. Bagshot house, Gloucester
house and Clarence house are palatial
dwellings, occupied by various members
of the royal family.
The Queen has four rather old
fashioned yachts on which she makes
her sea Journeys, although the oldest
of them probably is used seldom or
never. The four cost originally about
81 1915, 900. The newest is of l 800
tons dIsplacements and cost trifle
over $500, ,000 1t costs annually about

ABSOLUTELY pURE
Silver Sentiment Growing.

From the jefferson City Tribune.
The eastern republicans are very
much alarmed over the attitude of the
west on the silver question. The other
day a delegation from Philadelphia
went to Washington to try and cajole
the republican leaders into passing IA
high-tariff law, and they were not a
little surprised to learn that if an
attempt is made to pass such measure
frce-silver bill will be tackled on it
by the senate. The Philadelphians
went home in a very bad humor. Bad
as they want high-tariff law, they are
not willing to accept free silver as one
of the conditions. If the senate main
tains its fight for free silver to the end
of the session, the east will realize for
the first time that the issue cannot be
smothered. This spirit of aggressive
ness means much in the future. No
one expects anything from the present
congress: but with the silver issue
leading all other questions and its
advocates on the alert, victory must
come after a while
Nothing Is giving the republican
party so much trouble at the present
time as The silver question 1t is some
thing that cannot be successfully
lodged. The people will demand TO
know just where every party and
every public man stands on this ques-
ton. The time has passed when
anyone can dodge the issue. 1t is
generally believed that the republican
party will endeavor TO adopt platform
on the money question similar to tie

west favors silver, and its republican
advocates are just as much in earnest
as it is possible for them to be.
There will never again be good
opportunity for any party to straddle
the silver question. Men may as well
make up their minds. 10 meet this
question fairly because, like slavery, it
will never he settled until it is settled

on the silver question than at any

The father is, as a general rule, very
different in America from what he is
in Europe. He does not expect to meet
with such blind submission, nor does
he feel himself bound by so narrow
duties. He is not obliged to give his
daughters dowry, for instance. He
can let his native city profit by a share
of the fortune he has made, without his
sons ever thinking of grumbling at the
expensive founding of some establish
ment for the public good. But moth

SAVE SOME FLOWERS FOR THE

From the Saline County Progress.

From the Saline County Progress
Save some flowers for the living,
Do not give them all to the dead
Save some for those who are surviving
While the thorny way of life they tread
Save some for the good old mother,
Don't wait till by death you've missed her
Bestow some on kind, loving brother,
Wreaths and bouquets make tender sister.
Remember father, save some for him,
With flowers cheer hearts Of living friends
Ere cruel death their eyes luster dim,
Don't wait till death to their grave sends.
Weave garIands for living broken hearted,
Cast roses in paths of the widow,
And those who have from friends been
parted
Cheer with kind words and lilies from
meadow.
Strew flowers IN the roads of sorrow,
Fling posies on heads of the weary,
Don't wait to throw them in their grave
tomorrow,
With hearteasies make the living's heart
merry.
Throw flowers profusely in troubled's
door.
Hyacircths and tulips in radient splendor,
Carry into the homes of the poor.
While you are bestowing floral charity,
Do not send them all from your home,
Let flowers in it not be a rarity,
Each may take fragrance, when leave it
to roam.
Then save some flowers for the living,
Do not give them all to the dead,
There are many weary surviving,
Who need them while life's rough path
they tread.
