The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-06-30

Juliet wouldn't permit Romeo to
swear by the changeful moon. Pre-
sumably she feared 1t was made Of
green cheese, or smearcasei In
some countries an oath is taken upon
the sword. Americans solemnly
swear by the Holy Bible When In g
young and nebulous state we were
prone to swear by Honest Injun,"
Across our heart, or Hope to die"
In historic days, however, there was
even less of uniformity, and some
OF the alternatives to impress the
sworn were original We recall an
incident in the history of Normandy.
The English and the Normans were
busily engaged at this time making
epochs for high school Biographies.
The reporters and the historians
were working day and night and
having their coffee brought to them
In moment Of distraction the Saxon
King Harold permitted William of
Normandy to get him hors du com
bat While the horse was on Harold,
Bill had all the old bones and relics
Of the Norman monasteries collected
and placed in a chest This chest Of
queer antiquities and ghost-remnants
was deposited in the council cham
Der and covered with a glad robe OF
gold. Then while Willie held an az
carelessly, the quaking Harold was
told to get down on his marrow bones
and swear as he had never sworn be
fore. Keeping his eye on the az, and
mentally measuring its keenness
Harold swore to help put the lid Of
England on the crown of Williams
head AS the az came nearer he
threw prudence to the zephyrs and
sTore to marry Bits daughter
Adela, and sent to his own sister u
be offered in the holy bonds of mat
rimony with one of the Normandy
barons.
When he had exhausted his pro
gram Of promises he was asked Il
stand near the golden cloth Whel
the lid of the chest was raised AM
Harold's eyes fell upon the sacrec
relics of Normandy's honored dead
the sanctity Of his oaths cut q dec
swath in his heart-and it was no
/ until year afterWard that he hai
| the heart to break them!
In Plutarch's Publicola is told tn
story of a horrible oath taken b,
I youths engaged to murder the Romal
consuls- Each drank the blood an
tasted the entrails Of a man sacri
/ feed for the purpose.
The elegance of this Will not appes
to those of US who have been in
pressed by that beautiful and sent
mental oath found in the ballad "Ol
promise mel"
J AS boy we understood the mos
exacting oath to be that one "whic
was writ in bludl" and many a tim
have we gone so far as to prick GU
finger with pin to secure the neces
sary equivalent
But those were the good old day
of yesteryear. several times, and t.
day the most solemn oath we max
is to our wife. We swear in all so
emnity not to be out later than q. ID
and, strange to say, this oath
gilt-edged. Experience has taugt
US to keep it carefully gilded!

European Nations Will Cooperate
with the United States.

Within the last few weeks plans have
been perfected for cooperation between
the leading countries of Europe and the
United States IN the watching and appre-
hension of dangerous classes of criminals.
The scheme brings into close touch the
heads of the secret service Of the gen
eral governments and TO a certain extent
the chiefs Of police of the large cities
of the United States are involved also.
The matter has been kept quiet. but
enough has leaked out to warrant the
statement that this government has en-
tered into an agreement with other gov
ernments to work conjointly in the gem
eral task Of suppressing anarchistic so
cieties and of covering the movements
OF ringleaders in such organizations and
Of other pt4sons with dangerous crimianl
tendencies. The details Of tile plan of
cooperation were arranged b.! Chief VIII
