Women and priests were not compelled
to accept it. The Normans showed less
gallantry. With them a woman had to

Her male opponent, however, was buried
to his waist in the earth. Armed with a
club, he tried to strike her as she cir

ball of iron at the end of cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third attempt,
he was yanquished, which meant to
him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so many
duels were fought in Italy in the early
days is that where the law does not af.

combat to retain the respect of ones

way of putting an enemy to death

one of their writer's. "When an italian

OVER THE HILLS.
BY EUGENE FIELDS

over the hills and far away,
A little boy steals from his morning play,
And under The poisoning apple tree
He lies and he dreams of the things to be;
of battles fought and of victories won,
OF wrongs oerthrown and of great deed
done
OF the valor that he shall prove some day.
Over the hills and far away
over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away,
It's for the toll the livelong day
But i t matt ereth not to the soul afiame
With a love for riches and power and fame
On, man, while the sun is high
On the certain joys that lie
Yonder where blazeth the noon of day;
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
over the hills and far away,
An old man fingers at close of day;
Now that his journey is almost done,
His huiies fought and his victories won
In I'D time honesty and truth,
RI usefulness and the friends of youth,
Dome and mother.where are they?

the Simple Life of England's Queen In
Her Childhood Days.
James Cassidy has written for st.
Nicholas an article on the "Girlhood
Days of England's Queen" in the
course Of which he says; 4s
There was an occupation in which
the wee woman of seven years. wearing
simple white gown and large straw
hat, was frequently seen engaged. It
was watering the garden plants. One
of those who saw her said that as he
sometimes watched her intently at
work he wondered which would get the
most water, the plants or her own little
feet.
The princess was an early riser, get.
summer, and breakfasting at o'clock,
Her breakfast was just such as any
we'll cared for little girl who was not
a princess might be expected to enjoy,
bread and milk and fruit, placed on a
small table by her mothers side.
When breakfast was finished, the lit
tie princess Went for walk or a drive,
while her half sister, Feodore, her ais
most constant companion, studied with
her governess. From 10 to IL the Ouch
ess instructed 'Drina, after .which+ she
was at liberty to wander at will through
the rooms, or to play with her many
costly toys.
Two O'Clock was the dinner hour of
the princess, though the luncheon hour
of the duchess Plain food, nicely
cooked, was placed before the little
girl, and she did it justice, for she was
healthy and strong and enjoyed her
meals. After dinner she received assist
ance in her studies till O'Clock, when
she was taken by her mother to visit a
friend or perhaps to walk or drive. or
she was permitted to ride donkey in
the gardens.
AT the dinner hour Of the duchess
her little girl supped, seated next tc
her mother. Then came romp with
her nurse, Mrs. Brock. By the time the
romp was finished the house party
would be at their dessert, and then the
princess would be called in to join
them.
Nine O'Clock was bedtime, and she
never prolonged her day beyond that
hour. No matter whether she was al
home or at the house of friend, SO
O'Clock bedtime was rigidly enforced. "
Her little bed was placed beside her
mothers larger bed, SO that by day and
night mother and daughter were never
far apart.
Regular study, regular exercise, sim.
pie food and plenty of time out Of
doors, plenty of play and plenty of SLEEP

Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years
and it is always the same, simple. honest,
curative medicine that has helped to
make the Shakers the healthy, long. lived
people that they are. The Shakers never
have indigestion. This is partly owing
to their simple mode of life. partly to the
wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying enough
digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial supplies what's wanting. Shaker
