WIVES OF HENRY VIII. AS FAC
TORS IN ENGLISH HIsTORY.-Ac-
cording to Martin Hume s The Wives
of Henry VIII, the women whom Henry
VIII. took to wife played a far more
important part in the making of Eng
lish history than is usually assigned to
them, and, it may be added at once,
Henry, far from being president
statesman, was a ''weak, vain, boast
full man. Mr.. Hume sums up his
views thus:
I regard Henry himself not as the far
seeing statesman he is so often depicted
for US, sternly resolved from the first
to free his country from the yoke of
Rome, and pressing forward thru a life
time with his eyes firmly fixed upon the
goal of England's religious freedom, but
rather as a weak, vain, boastful man, the
plaything of his passions, which were
artfully made use of by the parties to
forward religious and political ends in the
struggle of giants that ended the refor
nation. No influence that could be ex-
ercised over the king was neglected by
those who sought to lead him, and least
of all that which appealed to his uxori-
BUSINESS, and T hope to show in the text
of this book how each of his wives in
turn was but an instrument of poll
ticians, intended to sway the king on one
side or the other. Regarded from this
point Of view, the lives Of these six un.
happy queens assume an Importance ir
national history which cannot be ao.
corded to them if they are considered
in the usual light as the victims of {
strong and lustful tyrant, each on.
standing apart and in her turn simply
| the darling solace of, his hours of dial
lance.
Mr.. Hume will be remembered fol
"The Courtships of Queen Elizabeth
and 'sThe Love Affairs of Mary, Queer
of Scots,' both Of which dealt frankly
forcibly and comprehensively with thei
SUBJECTS In this new book, Mr.. Hum
follows the methods of his former books
and speaks out fearlessly. He is in
position in the British public record
office which has given him very unusua
opportunities to study his subject, an
has. enabled him not only to speak a
an authority but to gather materia
not hitherto given to the public. Hi
book, therefore, deserves place anon
the important annals of stirring perio
in the progress Of civilization.

FOOLISHNESS FOR EVERY DAY
IN 19O6.-As tho we were short on
folly, the almanac editor has busted
himself in getting out The Foolish
Almanac for 1906. He assures us that
1906 is to be a corker,'' and the pages
of the almanac go to support his asser-
ton, but, of course, he saw to that.
That there is foolishness in the almanac
may be seen from the frontispiece, a
drawing of Eve supposedly mounted
on rustic stool to get out Of the reach
of a serpent. Beside the cut is this:

SORROW AS THE BEGINNING OF

h03V1V0
JOY.-It is a dark mystery to talk
to the uninitiated of sorrow as gate
way to joy. Nevertheless, there are
those who have gone thru the gloomy
portal who know that beyond lies a
fair country wherein the silver Innings
of clouds are not invisible as were those
before the gate was passed. Something
of this, is seen in When Joy Begins,
by Clara E. Laughlin, the story of ga
woman's joy-this passing from the
isolation of grief to the great compani-
onship Of sorrow.' The book is little
one, but it has a message, told in re-
pose that is almost poetry.

to rifle his pockets.

Young Maddox was suspicioned and it
was found that though he previously

JOSEPHINE EXHIBIT
LACKS LITERATURE
Has Many Visitors to the Ex-
hibit and All Ask for
Informa tion.

Mr.. and Mrs p. II. Harth arrived
home Friday evening from month Is
"Trip north. They viewed the fair
and Mr.. Harth is Of the opinion that
the Josephine county exhibit is not
accomplishing all the good possible
for the county. The exhibit is
almost wholly mineral yet is not in
the mineral exhibit building where
most Of the miners congregate, but is
in the agricultural building to be
viewed by farmers and others, who
know nothing Of mines and have no
interest in such Investments. Mr..
Harth thinks that il the Josephine ex.
hibit Is to continue as a display Of
ores then it should be in the mineral
exhibit, where 1t will attract notice
from the miners, but rs IL is installed
he would prefer that il remain where
it is and be supplemented by good
display of the other products of the
county. As Josephine county can
make good showing in grains,
grasses, fruits, timber and manu-.
faotures Mr. Harth advocates that a
strong effort be made by the citizens
of the county to comLle lete the exhibit,
for there is too much money invested
in the exhibit now to let II 20 but
half completed. Mr.. Harth says he
was asked many times If Josephine
was only a mining district and unable
to produce anything in the agricul.
tural, stock or timber line. The lack
of descriptive matter Of Josephine
county to give to visitors at the ex.
hibit. Mr.. Hsrth says, is working a
great loss to the county. In,the hurry
of the visitors 1t is impossible for the
person in charge Of the exhibit to tell
them much regarding the resources of
this section. In great measure the
exhibit is thus failure. In explana.
tion the Courier will state that the
county court at the time the exhibit
was installed at the opening of the
fair placed contract with the OBJ.
server for the printing of pamphlet
descriptive Of the county, and though
the fair is now half over not pam.
phlet has been delivered.
From Portland Mr.. and Mrs. Harth
enjoyed the grand ride up the Colum.
bia to The Dalles. where they visited
at the home OF Mr. Harth's brother.
George Harth. who has big farm
near that city. From The DSlles
they returned to Portland where they
took the steamer for Coos bay, and
enjoyed most delightful sea voyage,
for the ocean was in its best mood.
They spent several days at Myrtle
Point with Mrs. Il. A. Adams, a
sister of Mr.. Harth's. The trip from
Coos bay to Roseburg was made by
stage and as the day was cool and
damp there was little dust to annoy
them and they greatly enjoyed the
ride across the Coast mountains.

reasonable, are the features that Mr..

which is already much larger than he
anticipated.
