EDMUND THROWING LEoLr OUT.

but he invented the candle with q scale
Oh it as Il timepiece, and many subject
came to the throne at regular periods to
set his candle by the royal lights.
Think CT those days when the SER
geant -atarins ct congress could not
turn back the clcck in order to assist an
appropriation at the close Of the session,
but when the light went out the session
closed.
Athelstan succeeded his father, Ed
ward the Presiding Elder, and resem-
bled him a good deal by defeating the
Welsh, Scots and Danes. In those days
agriculture, trade and manufacturing
were diversions during the summer
months, but the regular business of life
was warfare with the Danes, Scots and
Welsh.
These foes Of England could live easi-
ly for years on oatmeal, sour milk and
Gods heads, while the fighting clothes
of whole regiment would have been q
scant wardrobe for the Greek slave, and
after two centuries of almost uninter-
rupted carnage their war debt was only
a trifie over $S.
Edmund, the brother Of Ethelstan, at
the age of 1s succeeded his brother on
the throne.
One evening, while a little hilarity
was going ON i'll the royal apartments,
Edmund noticed among the guests u
robber named Leolf, who had not been
invited. Probably he was pickpocket,
and as a royal robber hated anybody
who dropped below grand larceny the
king ordered his retainers to put him
out.
But the retainers shrank from the un-
dertaking Therefore Edmund sprang
from the throne like tiger and buried
his talons in the robbers tresses. There
was mixture cf feet, legs, teeth and
features for I. mcment, and when peace
was restored King Edmund had a watch
pocket full Of blood and the robber
chieftain was wiping his stabber ON one
of the royal tides.
Edred now succeeded the deceased
Edmund, his brother, and with heavy
heart took up the eternal job of fighting
the Danes. Edred set up ii sort Of pro-
vincial government over Northumber-
land, the refractory district, and sent a
governor and garrison there to see that
the Danes paid attention to what he
said. St Danstan had considerable in
fiuence ever Edred and was promoted a
great deal by the king, who died in the
gear $50.
He was succeeded by Edwy the Fair,

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
ings Once or Twice q Year.

General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
ings Once or Twice q Year.
Ex-President Harrison, in series Of
articles on 'This Country Of Ours in
The Ladies' Home Journal, writes Wig
orously of the great necessity Of the peo-
pie insisting upon the strict enforcement
of the laws. Directly upon this point he
says: 'We need general assemblies Of
the people in the smaller civil subdivi-
sions, to be held regularly once or twice
a year, town meetings in which two
questions only shall be considered:
First, are the public officers faithfully
and honestly transacting the public busi-
ness? Second, are the laws-not this law
nor that, but all laws-enforced and
obeyed? All questions Of law reform
should be excluded, left to parties or So
cieties organized to promote them. The
enforcement of the law, whether we op-
posed Or aided the making of it; the
strict accountability Of public officers,
whether we opposed or aided their elec-
tion, should be the objects and the linn
it's of these meetings. There should be
no distinction Of persons.
"Our law and order movements arc
too apt to be confined to what we, not
too accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have a
chance to choose his side, without re-
gard to station or wealth or race or col
or. There will be none too many. In
some such movements it has seemed to
me that many have been assigned to the
wrong side who would have chosen the
right There is danger that such may
accept the place they would not have
chosen. Can any working plan be de-
vised to maintain from day to day an
effective watchful interest among the
body of our citizens in the enforcement
of the laws, and in clean, honest ad-
ministration of public affairs-small
and great? Or are we to accept the hu
initiating conclusion that bad things
cannot be made good, or even better,
until they come to be persistently and
utterly bad Or still worse, that when
the river of popular indignation has
cleaned the stable it is only to leave us
without a supply of water for daily sani-
tation?'

YOU.

The chief want in life is somebody who shall
aake us do the best we can.-Emerson.
A lashl You came into my life,
And, 10, adown the years,
Rainbows of promise stretched across
The sky grown gray with tears;
By day you were my sun Of gold,
By night. my silver moon,
could not from the Fathers hands
Have asked q greater boon.
Life's turbid stream grew calm and clear,
Tho cold winds sank to rest,
Hand clasped with you, no bitter pain
Found dwelling in my breast;
] did not dread life's care and toll,
Your love dispelled all gloom,
And now on graves Of buried hopes
The sweetest yiolets bloom.
My every breath and every thought
We're pure because Of you,
had not dreamed that heaven could DO
So close to mortal view;
My hands and feet were swift to do
The good that near them lay,
And in my heart throughout the year
The Joy bird sang each day.
A flashl You passed out of my life
No, mol Your spirit still
Is sun and moon and guiding star
Through every cloud and ill;
AS down the rainbowed years I go
You still are at my side,
And some day shall stand with you
Among the glorifod

Kiss me good night! The day is done,
Across hfG's hill the sun has set;
All, all, have left me; only one
Remains to love me-or forget2
We started seaward, to loves land,
Heart-glad with flowers, sun and light
Lost in the darkness, now we stand.
Kiss me good nightl
Kiss me good night! Our lovely year
Is folded up and put away,
The mists are round us and tear
Is all the pray'r have to pray.
Why do l weep? only know
L'fo's awful mystery Alright.
You pause, and l have loved you so.
Kiss me good night!
Kiss me good night! No more be said.
For us what can tomorrow bring?
A cry of pain for what is dead?
Another New Years song to sing?
Times shadows close around us fast,
Our lamp of love is still alight,
Oh, that we might relve the pastl
Kiss me good night!

The Ethels now made all effort to re-
gain the throne from Edward the Elder.
Ethelwold, nephew Of Edward, united
the Danes under his own banner, and re-
lations were strained between the lead

slain. Even then the restless Danes and

of those who sought to operate the
reigning apparatus while his attention
was turned toward other matters.
He was the author of the scheme
whereby he utilized his enemies, the
Welsh princes, by demanding 800 wolf
heads per annum as tribute instead of
money. This wiped out the wolves and
used up the surplus animosity Of the
Welsh.
AS the Welsh princes had no money,
the scheme was Il good one Edgar died
at the age of 32 and was succeeded by
Edward, his son, in 975.
The death Of the king at this early
age has given to many historians the
idea that he was a sad dog, and that he

year to show the Danes how prosperous
he was and made speeches which dis
played his education.
His coronation took place IL years
after his accession to the throne, owing
to the fact, as given out by some OF the
more modern historians, that the crown
was at Mr.. Isaac Inestein's all this
time, whereas the throne, which was
bought on the installment plan, had been
redeemed
Pictures of the crown worn by Edgar
will convince the reader that it's re-
demption was no slight task, while the
mortgage on the throne was mere
bagatelle.
A bright idea Of Edgars was to ride
i'll a rowboat pulled by eight kings un-
der the old regime.
Personally Edgar was reputed to be
exceedingly licentious, but the historian
wisely says these stories may have been
the invention Of his enemies. Greatness
is certain to make of itself target for
the mud Of its own generation, and no
one who rose above the level Of his
surroundings ever failed to receive the
fragrant attentions of those who had
not succeeded in rising. All history is
fraught also with the bitterness and
jealousy Of the historian except this
one. No bitterness can creep into this
history.
Edgar, it is said, assassinated the
husband Of Elfrida in order that he
might marry her. 1t is also said that he
broke into convent and carried off a
nun, but doubtless, if these stories were
traced to their very foundations, poll
tics would account for them both.
He did not favor the secular clergy,
and they, of course dislil1ed him ac-
cordingly He suffered also at the hands

The Local Paper.

Assist your local papers in their efforts
to disseminate information concerning
the resources of the county, say jim
Townsend in the BOdie Index. Do not
be small about it. Don't run away with
the absurd notion that when you pay q
newspaper a little money for services
rendered you are doing an act of charity
or that the money so expended has ire
~trievably gone up the lume." II you
entertain this fallacy you are away off
your commercial and social nut. The
local newspaper is = lever that moves a
great deal sometimes. When a man has
no immediate use for it he is apt to
speak slightingly Of it but when he has
an AK to grind he suddenly changes, his
tune and is disposed to hob-nob with
the editor and propitiate the devil. A
newspaper does = vast amoun of work
for which it is never paid, and many a
little favor is granted which is not ade-
quately appreciated. Anxiety to get
something into the local paper is not in
frequently exceeded by a desire to keep
something out. On such occasions the
paper is deemed to have an influence
and the editor worth cuzzening up to.

The Indlll Seer.

Shortly after the murder OF Spanish
Frank and Frank Jones, at Limbo, the
well-known Indian, Natchez Overton,
struck ont for Mason Valley, to interview
Messiah Jack Wilson, in regard to the
matter. When consulted, the Messiah
unhesitatingly described the murderer
and the description fitted Buster exactly.
The Messiah told a great tale in relation
to the murder, and said it was committed
the reservation and informed Major
Wootten OF his trip, and what the Indian
seer had said, but Major Wootten, not
wishing to encourage the Indians to
continue to consult Jack Wilson, or to
countenance such acts, said nothing
about the matter to anybody, and told
Natchez to keep his trip to the Messiah
and the story to himself. Jack Wilson
is the man who prompted the ghost
dance at Walker Lake several years ago,
and raised such a hulabaloo that his
fame spread among the Indians of the
United States, and many OF the red men
came from afar to see and talk to him,
and learn new medicine. Some pro-
nounced him a genuine Messiah, and
others called him a tirst-class fraud.
However, he has a considerable follow
ing at the present time, and when the
news gets around that by his magic he
revealed unto Natchez the murderer who
did the bloody work at Limbo, his fame

rosy dawn had stolen over the wind ow-
