Only a few scattered stretches OF
beautiful woodland scenery remain of
the famous rowing ground of the noted
outlaw, Robin Hood. At one end of
the forest, a remnant Of its former
beauty remains. extending about FIVE
miles in length and two in width.
Here the forest has been unstripped Of
its impressive trees, and the old asso-

A Fabled Monster of Antiquity.

One Of the tabled monsters of ancient
times was the unicorn. 1t was, accord
ing to summary Of the opinions OF sew
eral of the old-time writer's, a beast
about the size Of a common hRrse, but
with very short legs. The people OF
the middle ages believed in the exist
ence of three kinds Of unicorns: The
magnificent white unicorn, which had
a purple face and blue eyes and sin
gle horn a yard In length; the eglisseri-
on. which resembled gigantic deer
and had a very sharp horn growing
from the middle of the forehead, ana
the monoceros, or common unicorn.
The white unicorn's horn was of three
different colors, white at the lower part,
back as ebony in the middle and red at
the point. Common unicorns were
said to have had horns about eighteen
inches In length, but so strong that they
could easily kill an elephant.

After the marriage they went to live

What Senator Daniel Does Not Soc

What Senator Daniel Does Not Soc.
II see no encouragement to Demo
.rats in the recent elections" is the
concluding sentence Of letter written
20 the New York World by John W.
Daniel, United States Senator from
Virginia and a leader in the Demo
cratic party. Right you are, Senator.
There is no encouragement visible to
Democrats, always excepting the
halcyon and vociferous optimist out
in Nebraska, who sees encouragement
for Mr.. Bryan's overpowering ambi-
tion to lead his party to certain de-
feat. All else is gloom and discour-
agement for Democrats. but it is a
mighty fine prospect for the country
as a whole, for does it not give assur-
ance that the march of prosperity shall
continue uninterrupted under a sec
opd term OF Mckinley and protection?
Such is verify the outlook. Hence the
inability of Senator Daniel to discover
any encouragement to Democrats in
she recent elections.

A Financial Contrast.

and to get gold for our depleted and
well-nigh empty Treasury. Under

Quoting costly war, yet, to relieve
stringency in the money market, the
Secretary of the Treasury has offered
to take from an overhowing Treasury
$25, 900, 900, and pnt it into general
circulation by buying bonds to that
amount. The contrasting circum-
stances outline in vivid colors the diff
ference there is, in respect to the con-
dition of our national finances, be-
tween free trade and protection.

A HISTORY-MAKING AGE.
We Are Living in n Grand and Awful
Time in the Missing of World
Events.

Seldom has the world seen a more
eventful period than that in which
we now live. The creation of the en-
pire of Germany, the kingdom of Italy
and the republic of France is easily
remembered by persons of early mid
Gle age. Within the past Is years
Africa has been parceled out among
the principal European countries. As
a result of the war in the Orange Free
State and the Transvaal, which is draw
ing to a close, practically the whole of
South Africa will become British terri
tory, says the st. bouis Globe-Demo-
crat. The war which has just begun
in China may result in the long-threat-
ened division of that vast empire among
half dozen of the nations of Europe.
and the disappearance of the Chinese
flag from the worlds seas.
At the beginning of 1898 Spain still
held a fragment of that domain on
which, in the days of Charles V. and
Philip H.. the sun never set. BY the
end of that year Spain's flag had van
ished from the new world which her
navigators discovered. and on which
she had foothold for a century before
any of her rivals, England, France or
Holland, started permanent settle
ments on this side of the Atlantic. She
lost, too. the magnificent group of is
lands given to her by Magellan, and
named for the great Philip. Virtually
the Spain of 1900 has shrunk to the di
mensions of the Spain of the earlier
days of Ferdinand and Isabella. before
Columbus started on his voyage of dis
covery.
But the most striking event of an
age of startling happenings may be
impending in Asia. The oldest of the
great nations whose fleets are passing
into the Yellow sea were creations of
yesterday compared with the country
with which they are coming in con-
f1ict. If Chinese chronology is reliable
China was the home of a civilization
centuries old before Romulus got his
first glimpse of the Tiber, or Paris of
Troy abducted Helen. Many years of
China's first cycle had expired anterior
to the days of Rameses II. and before
the birth of the Pharoah of the Exodus
The worlds Oldest and newest are in
conflict in the Oldest of the worlds
continents. Perhaps this age is now
witnessing the closing scenes of a
drama which opened in the worlds ear
ly morning twilight.
