ticular monarch should have been en-

since he breathed his last in the Jeru-

and II might naturally have been sup
posed in the circumstances that he
would have been laid to rest in the alb
hey. where so many other of England )
kings sleep their last sleep. 1t seems,
however, that Henry before his death
gave orders that he was to be buried

current that on the way down the riv-

the storm was caused by the fact that

How the Speaker Saved a Congress-

1t was gay time in congress one
night when there was an all night ses-

had been difficult to keep a sufficient
attendance, and the house had adopted
a resolution directing the sergeant at
arms to compel the presence OF absent
members. One by one they were
brought before the bar OF the house
and after making all sorts of excuses
and explanations We're permitted to
go unpublished.
About midnight Congressman Hen
