The King relented and Dafyd was
permitted his life. 1t is the evacuation
of this fortress which is perpetuated in
the music of THE March of the Men of
Harlech"
Edward i. 1ts Euilder.
Harlech was built in the latter part
of the twelfth century by King Edward
l of England, who has been described
by some historians as the greatest of
all English monarchs. From an early
age lie became famous throughout
Christendom as the bravest and most
ence in actual warfare was during the
contest between his father and the bar
ons from 1858 to 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 1879. Within few years he de-
tepmined TO 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 TO the coast OF
Wales and compelled Llewellyn to flee
IN tho mountains of SnOW1On where
he starved him into treaty of peace.
Believing he had reduced Wales to
obedience, the King returned to Eng
land. The spirit of the Welsh was
aroused, however, by acts of insolence
on the part of Edwards subjects, and
headed by Prince David, brother of
Llewellyn, 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.
tured and brutally beheaded, and
David, betrayed by one Of his OWL
countrymen, was hanged, drawn and
quartered. The fall of the two great
brothers accomplished the subjugation
of Wales. To prevent future rebellions
Edward built many fortresses, OF
which Harlecl was the strongest
When he died and his weak son came
into power and Wales again enjoyed
a sort of national liberty, Harlech was
a power in the defense of the country;
an instance of which is shown in the

rhat would prove equally preiudieal TO
those who might have their money in

these extremes, and acting for the cor
pOration of which the undersigned is
the head we hereby make a PROPOSE
1ion to sell our Pine Bluff plant. to-
gether With all contracts etc. there
unto pertaining to your company Or
any other company of citizens or con

be totally at variance with the facts,
| cannot hold out any such glowing
prospect of profit to those who may
desire to engage in the ice business in

One day bulky, tall, pale faced gen.
tleman with buShy, restless eyebrows,
entered Il London tavern. The waiter
did not ask him for his order, but i'm
mediately brought him plate of bread
and cheese and glass of ale. Having
consumed his lunch, the guest sat up
right in his chair for awhile, leaning
his hands on heavy walking cane
and staring blankly at the opposite
wall. as if in 4 dream. OF a sudden
he gave start. He seized the empty
glass and dashed it to the floor with
all his might, smashing it to atoms.
He then reflected for moment, laid
coin on the table, got up and left
the inn without word to any one.
After his departure another guest had
the curiosity to ask the waiter whether
the gentleman who had just gone out
was not wrong in his head. Quoth the
waiter:
"Oh, no, sir! That's nothink I'M

FOOD, WATER AND AIR.
The Essential Things Ont of Which
Blood Is Made,

The Essential Things Ont of Which
Blood Is Made.
These are the things out of which
blood is made. If the food is nutri-
tious and properly cooked, if the air Is
pure and full of oxygen. if the water
Is clean and free from impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full OF
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there is
no sickness except that depending d.
rectIy upon Il want of food or water
or air, sometimes all three. When any
one is sick the presumption is that he
has been trying to subsist on poor
food or Initiated air or bad water, one
or more.
In order to have good food person
ought to have the first eating of it.
Food that has been mussed over and
left by one person is not fit to be eaten
by another.
In order to have good air person
ought TO have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been breuthcd by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hylrant water must
be used let it run Il bit, as the house
pipes are apt to be of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the Wal
ter through the city.
Food that is relishcd, air that cools
and invigoratcs, water that is quaffed
