The Privilege of Sanctuary.

Beverly Minister $50 miles north of
London, as the shrine of St John of
Beverly, who died in the year 72l. In
93S Athelstan, king of England, gave
several privileges to the monastry,
one being the privilege of sanctuary.
This was not merely for marslaying:
it was open to all wrong-doers eXcept
those who had been guilty of treason.
For ordinary otfenses, such as horse
stealing, cattle stealing, being back
ward in accounts or being in receipt
of suspected goods, man came into
sanctuary about mile from the mon
astery or church. There used to be
four crosses on the main roaos leading
to Beverley, marking the limit of the
area. In cases of manslaughter and
murder it was not sufficient to be
within one of these crosses. Before
the fugitive could claim sanctuary he
must enter the church and seat him.

''frid stool" or freed chair" To this
place many fed for refuge from all
parts of the country.

A sweeter song my soul has heard
Than angel anthem lay of bird
1t cheers my heart in storm and night.
And makes both storms and darkness
bright.
The song of hope-It may Yet be,
Is winter here? Have songbirds fled?
They have but flown; they are not dead.
The SHOWS will melt and with the spring
The birds return on joyous wing.
And flowers that faded long ago
VIII bloom again in summers s glow
Though skies be black ard dark the
night,
The day draws near with blessed light
So faces that have vanished here
In heavens bright morn will reappear
Sweet voices that are hushed and still
VIII there again our spirits thrill.
Hopes may have flown. but not for aye.
True hope will live d deathess day
Above the clouds, beyond the night,
Faith scars and sings in living light
Thence comes the sweetest song to me.

able amusement Costly.
A little torse play will cost William
e. pS:,l1olds, best known as Billie"
800 and court costs and attorneys
fees. The Appellate court today af
firms the judgment carrying this
amount in the slit against him, orig
inally brought by John w. Pierson, a
stockyards man. and in which Pier
sons representatives were substituted
after his death.
Pierson was Union stockyards
man. and happened in the Interstate
yards one day. where he met his old
friend. William o. Trotier. Trotter
called out Hello, Uncle John" and
took Pierson by the right arm. which
he continued to hold as he talked to
him, says the Indianapolis News.
Reynolds was yard manager, and
came rushing by through the alley
in which the two men talked, grasp
ing Trotter as he passed. The i'm
petus behind his 23O pounds weight
turned Trotter about. Trotters grasp
on Persons arm threw that old man
almost to the ground. and in recov-
ering himself he sprained his wrist.
Pierson recovered $500 in Judge
Leatners room. and the case was ap-
pealed. The Appellate court says:
THE facts shown are sufficient to con-
denim the habit of horse play between
grown men," Reynolds said he had
not seen Pierson as he passed, did not
know that Pierson had fallen until
later, and had not intended to do him
any harm. Such a defense the court
characteriZes as an "I-did-not-mean.

They have insured the voice of a
