WHO WAS WILLIAM TELL.

At one time the story of William
Tell was regarded as actual history,
but later critics have shown it to be
only legend common among the ma
tious OF the Aryan race. And the
story of the Swiss patriot is simply
the old legend changed to Swiss cir
cumstances, and thus represent the
spirit of freedom as manifested in
Switzerland.
According to this legend, William
Tell was "a mighty marksman with
the bow and arrow, who lived in peace
and happiness with his family at
Rurgelen, in the canton of Fri. At
that time, about the year 1907, Swift
zerlaud was IA province of Austria;
but the people had already begun a
struggle for freedom, and William
Tell was one of their ablest leaders.
Gessler, the Austrian hailiif at huss-
nacht, wishing to show mis- authority
and humiliate the Swiss, raised his
cap on pole in the market place of
Altorf, and ordered all passers-by to
uncover and bow down to it in token
of submission. Tell refused to COM
ply with the arrogant order. and in
consequence was condemned to death.
UsSSleI, llO"SNcii upon iChI hlbS vi
Tells remaFkab BILE skill with the bow,
offered to release and pardon him if
he would agree to shoot an apple from
the head of his own son. Tell ac-
cepted the alternative, but determin-
ed that if he failed, or in any way in
jured his little boy, the bailitf should
suffer for it.
When the appointed time came, Tell
ha chnt fl,n
whizzing through the centre of the
apple, while his son remained unin
iured. In the meantime the bailff
had noticed that Tell had put two
arrows in his culver, and asked why
he had done so.
ITO kill, thee with, ii had harmed
nv SON. answered Tell.
For this bold avowal Tell was put
in chains and taken on board the
bailifT's boat, to be brought to Kuss-
nacht. While crossing the lake the
boat was overtaken by fearful storm
and the crew alarmed for their safety
implored the bailiff to release Tell,
who was an expert pilot, and let him
steer the vessel. The request was
finally granted, and as they neared a
certain point now known as TELLS
Leap Tell leaped ashore and es-
capped.
The storm had now abated, and the
crew brought the vessel safely to
shore Meanwhile, Tell concealed
himself in a narrow deiile through
which the bailiif had to pass, and
MORALLY wounded him with an arrow.
The fall of the tyrannical Gessler was
the occasion for great uprising in the
canton, and the Austrians were driven
from the country. In all of the move.
ments William Tell, by his own heroic
example, inspired the Swiss family
with hope,
Ii is said that Tell was drowned in
the Sohachen, while h9roically trying
to rescue boy.
