couched In the most extraordinary language, call
ing down Divine wrath upon all those who had
participated In the alleged Popish plot to blow King
James and the entire national legislature into the
air the occasion OF his opening Parliament state
by means of the gunpowder with which the vaults
beneath the House of Lords were found to be
hlled and similar curses upon Oliver Cromwell and
all those who had taken part in the deposition and
IN the consignment to the scafold of King Charles l.
while the most extravaganza expressions OF graft
tude TO Providence were employed to thank the
Creator for restoring to the throne that monarch
namely. Charles II-who remains on record as the
most prohgate monarch who occupied the
English throne.
1t Parliament and Conyocation which by
votes of an overwhelming majority requested the
Queen TO abolish these services anachronisms
and so strong the pressure brought to bear
upon her that. acting in accordance with the ad-
vice OF her extremely sensible consort. she yielded
though with reluctance. For she was passionately
devoted TO the memory of her Stuart ancestors and
far more proud of her descent from them than of
her membership of the royal house OF Hanover.
This cult for the Stuarts grew stronger in her old
age, and cannot help thinking that had she been
requested by Parliament and Convocaton to do
away with these religious services in the closing
years of her reign, she would have refused on the
ground that it would be an affront to the memory
of the Stuarts
1t may be OF interest to add that while the re-
Hgious observance of the anniversary of King
Charles lis restoration and of his fathers execu-
ton, has entirely ceased In England. It still con-
tinues to this day at Boston and at Philadelphia
under the auspices of the American branch Of the
so-caIled White Rose League. Jacobite Society.
Or course, until the War of Independence and as
long as the country known the United
states was subject to English rule as British
colonies the services above mentioned were just
as obligatory in the churches here as In the
churches of the United Kingdom.

THE DRAMA.
BIRD CENTER. "

John I. McCutcheon once drew some very funny
pictures. which he called Bird Center Cartoons"
These cartoons he accompanied with short descrip-
tive paragraphs, supposedly clipped from the Bird
Center weekly paper. The clippings were so like
the average rural paper in style. and the
pictures. in their broad. grimacing fashion. were
AFTER all true to the aspects of life in such
community Bird Center that Chicago and then
later the country at large, and applauded

enough alone in this land OF the free and home OF

these cartoons would satisfy Messrs. Hamln
