WHO EXECUTED CHARLES H.?
The Name of Richard Brandon Is
Most Widely Connected With
the Deed.

In the burial register of White
chapel, under the year 1919, is the fol-
lowing entry, says Harper's Maya
zine: June 21st. Richard Brandon,
man out of Rosemary Lane. This
Brandon is held to be the man who
beheaded Charles the First"
A less distinguished candidate for
the infamy was one William How
lett, actually condemned to death
after the restorati for a part he
never played, and only saved from
the gallows by the urgent efforts of
a few citizens who swore that Bran
don did the deed. Brandon was not
available for retribution. He had
died in his bed six months after
Charles was beheaded and had been
hurried ANONYMOUSLY into his grave
in Whitechapel church yard. AS pub
lie eXecutioner of London, he could
hardly escape his destiny; but it is
said that remorse and horror short
ened his days. In his supposed ICON
fession," a tract widely circulated at
the time, he claims that he was
fetched out of bed by troop of
horse and carried against his will
to the scaffold. Also that he was
paid $50, all in half-crowns, for the
work, and had ''an orange stuck full
of cloves, and a handkerchief out of
the kings pocket" The orange he
sold for ten shillings in Rosemary

The president of one of our western
universities reports that there are al
ways more college presidencies vacant
than there are men competent to fill
them. Then it would seem here is a
field for the aspiring young profess
sor, field by no means overworked.
But he should be fully cognizant of
the requirements-"a higher order of
administrative ability, together with
the practical grasp of a mind well
trained in business methods" He must
be equal to the ''educational function
and the ceremonious duties of his Of
fee. He must be something of an ora
tor. He must travel from place to
place at any and every season of the
year, to address learned societies or
gatherings of alumni in different cit
les; he must be the guest of sister
universities-he is expected, in short,
to be at everybody's beck and call,
while at the same time he is suppos I'd
to familiarize himself with each de-
tail of the daily life of his own insti-
tuition. He must know and judge the
men who carry on it's work; he must
remove their difficulties, soothing the
irascible and satisfying the unreason-
able, and carrying on the whole thing
with tact, and yet with conscientious
fidelity to duty

Inauguration of President Angel, the
increase in the number of it's students,
it's widespread influence and it's grow
ing reputation are the best proofs Of
the marked success of his administra-
ton. It is due to his remarka bic abil-
ity that the University of Michigan
not only ranks among the first insti-
tutions Of learning in the United
States, but serves as model for all
state-endowed colleges."A participant
in public services, DR.. Angel has served
as United States minister plenipoten-
tiary to China, was one of the three
commissioners to negotiate a new
treaty with China; aided in the ne
gotiations in regard to the fisheries
problem; and served as United States
minister to Turkey.
We have taken our glance at the
presidents of two great schools of the
middle west, and now shall have time
for hasty view of only one more in
stitution. Having taken look at the
head of the intensely modern Univer-
sity of Chicago and at the president
sites, shall we turn to Oberlin, quite
another type? Henry Churchill King,
the new president at Oberlin, has
long been a power in matters educa-
tional and religious, and it is consid-
cred eminently fitting he should have
been chosen executive of Oberlin.
After graduation at the seminary of
the institution of which he is now
president, Mr.. King studied at Har-
ward university and then for awhile
in Berlin. For years he has been a
teacher in theology. a teacher that
has reached people of widely differing
types; we may mention that his labors
as lecturer have been in demand both
at Harvard and at the Moody evangel-
ica1 school at Mortified.

lie never tried to preach or set you right;

And so he showed by life, instead of
words,
The wondrous beauty of humility.
Vie did not worry to reform the world.
He knew Gods ways, though slow, were
always sure;
He only struggled to reform himself
By steadfastness and patience to en-
dure.
lie would not prate about the want of
love,
Nor yet the lack of faith, in human
mind;
He never spoke about these things at all,
Only he never failed in being kind.
One single passion held his heart in sway:
An earnest craving for the pure and
true;
And though at times Gods face felt far
away
His earth-dimmed eyes so deeply
yearned to view
Still, in the dark as in the light, he
smiled!
He said the sun was shining all the
time!
And, for the things he could not under
stand,
He hoped and trusted in Love SUBJ

and looked over the gentlemen who
were variously engaged.
'.Mr. Pence" he called.
Mr.. Pence had sunk back in his
chair and was examining book
which Sidney left on the table He
lifted his eyes over his steel-rimmed
glasses and gazed languidly at Mr..
Vincent.

astounded millionaire. pare pota-
toes! Me pare potatoes? Absurd"
There was a general roar of laugh
ter.

claimed Mr.. Pence, ''the committee

You now seem to be on the es-
cape committee!" said Mr.. Kent.
Take him along, Vincent
Mr.. Pence looked at Mr.. Rockwell
appealingly.
Rockwell said, unless Mr.. Hammond
urgently needs and demands your
services on the exploration commit
tee. If not, you will have, to obey
Mr.. Vincent. He is general superin-
tendent, and you voted for him and
his authority"
Sidney said that he did not need
Mr.. Pence at present. That gen.
tleman arose, and with a woeful ex-
preston followed Vincent to the
kitchen. A few minutes later he
donned white apron and entered
on his new duty. He proved an
adept, and Mr.. Kent looked in at a
side door ard regarded his work with
approval.
''He is the best man you could Sc
lect," said Mr.. Kent, addressing the
general superintendent, who was
critically watching Mr.. Simon Pence.
He can cut the thinnest pairing you
ever saw. The potato will weigh
more when he gets through with it
than it did when he began. He is a
wonder. You ought to see him pare
a dividend''
MAKE him go way" pleaded Mr..
Pence.
But MIR. Kent had disappeared.
Mr.. Vincent went in search of more
help. He found Mr.. Haven.
Il shall have to ask you to chop
some wood" he said.
Certainly" said Mr.. Haven, with
surprising alacrity. ''Where is the
AK? was a dandy at chopping wood
when boy. How long do you want
it" In a few minutes the sugar
magnate was hard at work, and at
the end of three hours he had accu-
mulated a goodly pile of wood and
a raVenous appetite.
During the day Vincent went about
his duties in most systematic man
ner. He took each member of the
colony in charge, and showed them
the mysteries of the storeroom and
kitchen, and the exact location of all
foods and cooking utensils.
