swinburne and the Baby.

Algernon Charles Swinburne, accord
ing to the statement of one of his
American friends, made systematic
study of babies before he wrote his adj
mirable rondels upon babyhood.
Mr.. Swinburne, who is a bachelor,
one day went on tiptoe into the nur-
sery of a friends house and bent in
reverie over the infant that slept
there. AS he regarded it the slumber-
ing infant smiled. and in contempla-
ton of this seraphic smile the poets
heart was filled with joy and awe. But
a voice-the voice of the nurse-in-
terrupted his esctacy.
"It's the wind, bless it's heart" the.
nurse whispered. Whenever they
smile in their sleep, sir, you may al
ways know they're troubled with the
wind"
Mr. Swinburne scowled and with
drew. On account of the nurses re-
mark he never wrote a poem on the.
subject of a baby's dreams.-Kansas

SO there was war between her will
and his superstition. His superstition

laugh, lifting her pretty silk skirts
high, she tripped back to the cottage.
Later in the afternoon she explained
to some callers old Henry's eccentrici-
ties. "And just think" she continued,
'he said to me once, with a note of
interrogation in his voice, that he
had heard say the whooping cough
was never taken by child who had
ridden upon a bear!
"Of course" she added, "Mr. New
rich wanted to move heaven and earth
to get the bear, but wouldn't hear to
it, and baby got well of the whooping
cough without it."

FAMOUS ENGLISH TOWN
Shrewsbury Worthy of More Than Passing nterest-ive
Hundredth Anniversary of Fierce Battle Fought There
Recently Commemorated- of Great Men,
Especial Correspondence

Recently there was held in the his
toric English town of Shrewsbury
commemoration ceremony that was
one of the most interesting ever held
in that country. The object was to
celebrate the 500th anniversary of
the battle of Shrewsbury, famous as
one of the fiercest and most decisive
battles ever fought on British SOIL as
well as by reason of the prominence
Shakespeare gives it in his plays. The
historic struggle took place July 81,
1403, between the forces of Henry w
and those of "Hotspur," as Henry
Percy, the warlike son of the earl of
Northumberland, was known, and its
effect was to make the formers posi-
ton on the English throne, which he
had usurped, stronger than it had
been up to that time.
Even to-day, 500 years after its oc-
currence, the story of the battle of
Shrewsbury, in which 10000 men fell,
is one that cannot be read without a
thrill. Henry of Lancaster was the
son of John of Gaunt and was a thorn
in the flesh of Richard H. He had
no valid title to the English crown,
or the pretense of it, except that he
was the son of the fourth son of Ed
ward III. He was born at Boiling
broke, in Lincolnshire, in 1866 and
was surnamed Bolingbroke. When
he first became troublesome Richard
ii banished him to France, but he
availed himself of the kings absence
in Ireland, returned and seized the
crown in 1399-the same year in
which he became duke of Lancaster
In his designs upon the crown he was
aided and abetted by the earl of
Northumberland and the latter's cid
est con, Hotspur, who had Joined him
on the understanding that Henry
would do nothing more than reclaim
his confscated estates and make no
attempt to assume the crown. The
head of the Lancasters, however was
hardly successful and King Richard,
who had hurried back to England,
scarcely captured and clapped into
prison, than Henry broke his word to

The Dangerous Drama.

Charles Frohman is laughing over
the naivete of a woman friend whose
young daughter wanted to see "a
beautiful play, with lots of ginger in
it."
I'D rather you didn't attend the the
alter just yet, dear" said the mother.
I'm afraid the influence of some of
the present plays is demoralizing.
What is this particular one?"
IT'S very exciting, the boy next door
told me; it's sort of Buffalo Bill
play, full of fights, and gambling and
murders, and things"
"oh, that's all right then" was the
reply, in a measured tone, "Tl send
one of the maids with you. l feared il
might be a society drama!"-New

his allies and declared himself King
Henry ~. To be king he had no
real claim, even had Richard II been
dead. the rightful heir to the throne
being Edmund, son of the earl of
March.
Almost Immediately, Northumber-
land and Hotspur declared war
against Henry, and soon induced the
Welsh under Owen Glendower to join
them. The allies determined to make
Shrewsbury, then a heavily fortified
town, their stronghold, and Hotspur
marched toward the place with an
army of $4,000 men, sending word to
Glendower that he should meet him
there. Henry ", however, was too
quick for both of them. He reached
Shrewsbury first, occupied it, and
thus prevented a junction between
his opponents armies. Hotspur ar
rived, took up strong position out
side of Shrewsbury. and, without
waiting for Glendower to make his
appearance, challenged Henry to
come out and fight.
The king was nothing 10th, but first
made an attempt to concihate Hot
spur. The fiery young man refused to
listen. "Then," said Henry, Il pray
God that you may answer for the
blood that shall be split to-day and
not mel" and so he gave orders for
the royal army to move on to the en-
envy. Perhaps what followed is best
told in the words of chonicler of
those days.
THE battle" this old-world writer
says, began with a dreadful dis
charge of arrows from both the front
lines. The Scotch, who were too inn
patient to fight at distance, rushed
with great fury upon the front lines
of the royal army, and put them into
confusion. so that they would have
been totally routed had not the i'm
petuosity of Hotspur defeated his own
intentions; he fought with such un-
daunted courage that a way was
opened into the royal army, but his
men were unable to follow.

incredible valor, bent all their aim al

WHY HER DANCING DRAGGED.
Young Lady Had Forgotten to Remove
Her Rubbers.

Her Rubbers.
A young man who was born on a
ranch and who, while getting his
education in the East, has turned
westward again every summer, and
has thus maintained a fine, strong ply
sique, recently danced with young
woman of some two hundred pounds
in village not far west of Railway.
He noticed that the dancing was uphill
work, and, when it was over, sank into
a chair in the incipient stages of ex-
haustion. The young woman looked
thoughtfully across the shining sur
face of the floor and threw a glance
of investigation at the corner where
the punchbowl stood.
Doesn't it strike you that the floor
is very sticky tonight" she inquired.
The young man CALAMITY denied
thinking so.
''It seems so to me-" the young wom-
an observed. Then she looked down
at her foot, protruding from a silken
founce, and exclaimed:
why! I've got my rubbers on!"-

THE NIGHT RUN OF TIE OVERLAND

81 am going to let her have her
| head!" she cried out, in her distress.
The fireman did not answer-per-
haps he did not hear-and setting
her teeth, Sylvia assumed the grim
burden alone. The ponderous locomo-
tive fell over the brow of the hill,
with her throttle agape, and the fire
seething in her vitals with volcanic
fury.
1t seemed to Sylvia as though they
dropped down the grade as an aero
lite drops from heaven-silent, ire
sistible, awful, touched only by the
circumambient air.
All Sylvias familiar methods of
gauging speed were now at fault, but
she believed that for the moment
they were running two miles to every
minute. Under the strange lassitude
born of her deadly peril, she relaxed
her tense muscles and drowsily
closed her eyes.
She was rudely shaken out of her
lethargy as the train struck slight
curve half way down the grade. The
locomotive SHE'D like a frightened
steed, and shook in every iron mus
Gle. The f1anges shrieked against the
rails, the cab swayed and cracked.
For a moment the startled girl was
sure they were upon the ties. But it
was only the terrible momentum lift
ing them momentarily from the track
and in a few seconds, the fire-eating
behemoth righted itself Yet it's beau
tiful equilibrium was gone; and the
engine rolled and pitched, and rose
and fell, like a water-logged vessel

motion began to toll

cried.

"On time, madam!"
Meanwhile in the superintendent
private car, at the extreme rear of
the train, a party of men still sat up,
smoking their Havanas and slipping
their wine. One member of this party
was the "big gum" the president of
the Mississippi Valley, Omaha and
Western Railway. He was a large
man, with luxuriant, snow white
hair, and though his face was benevo-
lent, even paternaI, every line of it
betrayed the inflexible will which had
lifted it's owner from the roof of a
freight car to the presidential chair
of a great road.
Mr.. Howard, the general superin-
tendent, was regaling the party with

ing a substitute engineer at Valley

The party dropped off to bed, one
by one. The general superintendent
himself finally rose and looked at his
watch. Three cars ahead he met the
conductor, who also seemed a little
nervous, and they talked together for
some moments. The train, at the
time, was swapping around the chop
by curves in the Tallahula Hills, and

"But fearful in the cab, eh?"

Dackins, dryly.
Howard started back toward the
private car about the time the train
struck Beechtree Hill. When he got
back to his car he found Mr.. Stani-
ford still up, smoking and leaning
back in his luxurious seat, with half
closed eyes. Stamford motioned How
ard to sit down close beside him.
"Confound you, Charlie, you've got
that sick engineer on my heart, with

smiling.
well, between you and me, that
man Fox was a mighty sick man-too
sick to hold his head up, in fact"
Howard paused inquiringly as Stani-
ford turned sharply and gave him a
glance.
Fox, did you say?" asked Stani-
ford. What's his first name?"
II don't know; he's a tall, smooth.

does. To come to the point-~nd
this is my story-the Overland at
this moment is in the hands of a
girl, sir-FoX's wife!"
1t seemed a long time before either
man spoke again. Howard stared in
blank amazement at the pallid face
of the president, unable to under.
stand. Then Stamford took the
others hand and held it in an iron
grip.
