BRUIsERs AT CORONATION

A week before the coronation of
George w, in 1921, famous pugilist,
known as Gentleman" Jackson, act
ing under instructions from the Earl
Marshal's Office, was busily engaged
in beating up lighting men for a pecu-
liar purpose. That was to keep in
check the supporters of Queen Caro-
line, who were threatening to create a
disturbance, outside of Westminster
Abbey. Jackson's auxiIiaries, twenty
in number, we're attired as kings
pages, and were stuck about the alb
hey gate. Their appearance was
quite sufficient; not one of the ag-
grieYed queens sympathizers ven
tured to go near them. One was
John Gully, who was in turn prize
fighter racing man, colliery proprie-
tor and member of parliament. and
ancestor of the present speaker of the
house of commons, who, according to
custom, will doubtless be made a. peer
on his retirement.

Tracy's Mental Makeup.

The pity of all is that, now that
he is dead, there is to be found no
body with an opinion worth having
who knew Tracy at all well-that is,
we'll enough to give us a clear idea
Of the manner of man he was at
heart and in spirit From what can
be learned, he would seem to have
been a very low order of being. o.
cially and mentally; yet, one forgets
the ruthless wickedness Of the man
in consideration of the unquesUloned
courage and bravery and grit he dis
played. 1t is not easy to despise a
man who fought so valiantly against
odds that were reinforced by legal
right, common justice, and popular
sentiment. Whether he had any
emotions or not we cannot now
learn; but he does not appear to have
left any passing sentiment of regret
in the hearts of those whom he en-
ccuntered in life. He must have
known that escape was all but i'm
possible; yet, he did not become ter
rorized by mere force of numbers at
any time, and took chances that were
really brilliant in their daring.
1t may have been that, in spite of
his ferocity, savagery, and lack of
conscience, the man took some intel
lectual joy out Of the flight, pursuit,
and battling that ended in his death.
With slim prospect of success, he
had run away from seventeen years
of prospective Imprisonment at hard
labor. To be recaptured, he knew,
meant an addition to the sentence
even had he not effected his escape
by killing four men before he left the
confines of the Jail. Surely, he hao
nothing to live for; but just as sure
ly does it seem that the very effort
he put forth in his own behalf was
dictated by joy in the achievement
"a zest of sport-something akin to
vanity and perverted sense of whar
CONSTITUTES glory, perhaps, but die.
nified by the fact that at least, he
was paying a big price for the fndu1
gence. In not very remote past, I.
man who did what Tracy did would
have been hero and a person of

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Speculation as to What Might Have
 Been Our Fate

Speculation as to What Might Have Been Our Fate
 While Americans are celebrating with appropriate exercises the 126th anniver-
 sary of their declared independence of Great Britain, the premiers of Greater
 Britain are holding a series of confer | ences whose object is to ascertain the feasibility of a system of political, mili- tary and commercial union between the self-ruling members of the British Elm pire. It happens, indeed, that the second of this series of conferences is appoint cd to sit on July f. Is there or is there not something suggestive in this coinci- dence; something of civic significance ! to the world and especially to Ameri-
 can citizens and British subjects of to- day?
 The Declaration of Independence marks the hour when 13 British colonies formally announced at once their com- mon American nationality and their complete separation as a nation from the British Empire. It also, by de- claring the former colonies to be States,
 implies the substitution of some new
 form of Federal union for the old, com | mon bond of allegiance to the crown.
 It implies the idea of federo-repre- sentative commonwealth and practical
 ly and historically it actually implied the erection of republic. We know the rest. But in view of the immense growth of colonial government within the British Empire since that time, and in view of the erection of
 such imposing commonwealths as Can-
 ada and Australia, may there not some times arise doubt whether independ- ence and republicanism were absolutely { and fundamentally necessary for the permanent political welfare of this country? Had another ministry than that of George III. directed colonial policy at the time of the American
 Revolution; had liberal counsels pre- vailed in the mother country, or had
 America, in spite of tyranny, patiently
 awaited better times then, some may fancy we too might in time have evolv- ed into a mighty colonial common wealth and have reaped, as part of
 Great Britain, substantially the same
 blessings of nationality and of federo-

than there really is. As you see, the .cost of production is heavy, and there is a great deal of loss. We have just been compelled to put in a complete Water-works system of our own. Hear that exhaust gas engine over in that little yellow house? We'll, that is pumping water from the lower ponds to higher ones. But then it beats Wheat-raising a great deal"
 NIT. Heck, who attends to most of the business and shipping on the large farm, has a regular city office in his country home. There is a big roll-top desk. revolving chair. a typewriter and d deskphone, connecting him with long distance lines. A big delivery wagon is always ready to cart in the great tin cans to the express trains. Shoup lives at the smaller fishery most of the time. It is called Blue Ridge and is beautiful place, with five large ponds.
 Besides doing an extensive gold fish business, they also raise thousands of water lilies and other aquatic plants, which they ship to all points, and they also do big business in tadpoles and frogs. It is not unlikely that they will take up the cultivation of the big American bullfrog in earnest. He is a good seller
 The fish raisers get their toasted bread from Indianapolis by the carload. They use bread that is year old. The sun was just going down when Heck started out with his men and a dozen baskets filled with bread to give the fish their daily meal There was a halt as Heck's eye fell on four snipe. Bill, his sharpshooter, dropped his bread and unslung his shotgun and again opened the bombarding that had continued all afternoon. There were far fewer snipe in the bird kingdom when the last echo of the evening salute finally lost itself in the gather ing shades of dusk.-E. I. Lewis.
