IT cannot be denied that democracy
is gaining ground throughout the

thousand dollars worth of vegetables

thousand dollars for labor and fertil-
izsrs, leaving a good balance TO pay

exceptional case, but 1t is interesting,

Edward /. Its Builder.
Harleeh was built In the latter part
of the twelfth century by King Edward
| OF England. who has been described
by some historians as the greatest Of
all English mouarchs. From an early
axe he became famous throughout
Ghristendom as the bravest and most
dexterous Of warriors. His first expert
ence in actual warfare was during the
contest between his father and the bar
ons from 1858 10 1861. In the nine years
Of the struggle his character became
matured and his experience ripened.
He then ranked among the first knights,
generals and statesmen of the day.
Edward was proclaimed King of Eng
land in 1872, Within a few years he de-
termined 10 extend his power over
Wales and Scotland. Llewellyn was
then Prince of Wales, when Edward
sent word to him TO come and do hon.
age to the wearer of the crown. Lew
ellyn thrice sent back word that he
would rather not. Edward thereupon
went with his fleet 10 the coast OF
Wales and compelled Llewellyn to fee
to the mountains of Snowdon, where
he starved him into a treaty Of peace
BesieyIng he had reduced Wales to
obedience, the King returned to Eng
land. The spirit of the Welsh was
aroused, however, by acts of lnsolence
on the part of Edwards subjects, and,
headed by Prince David, brother Of
LlewelIyn, they rose In revolt like one
man. Edward returned to Wales, For
months and months the people of the
rocky coast held out against the forces
OF the King, but Llewellyn was cap
tuyed and brutally beheaded, and
