LEGEND OF THE GARTER.
Contradictory Versions of the Foun-
dntion of the Order.

Contradictory Versions of the FOun-
dntion of the Order.
1 know, as every schoolboy knows,
the legend that a certain countess Of
Salisbury dropped her garter at ball,
and that the king picking it up amid
the smiles of courtiers, handed it to
her with the happy and now immortal
phrase, "Honi soft qui NAL y pense."
But this legend, l recalled, had
to go the way of the story of King
Alfred and the cakes, the story of VIII
lam Tell and the apple, and many an
other pretty fairy tale Of history, says
a writer In the Sphere. At last l went
to Sir Nicholas Harris Nicholas His
tory of the Orders Of Knighthood,"
where 1 found a delightful mass Of
contradictory authority produced.
The tale of the ensign and name Of
the order were first told by Polydore
vergil (1470-1555), who wrote in the
time Of Henry VII. and Henry Will,
and who said that the lady was "the
queen or the kings mistress" Segar,
whose work. Honor, Military and
Civil" appeared in 1902, 250 years af-
ter the order was founded, was the
first to say that 1t was the Countess of
Salisbury. Other writer's say that 1t
was the Countess Of Kent John Anstis
(1669-1744), garter king Of arms, who
published several heraldic works, ridi-
cules the whole story. He confesses
that an author Of Henry Wis time,
who wrote In Latin and whose work is
now entirely lost, upheld 1t.
Raphael Holinshed, a chronicler who
died In 1880, tells the story IN detail
and says the lady was the queen, which
surely rather spoils the significance Of
the legend. Sir Harris Nicholas him
self thinks the story is not improbable,
although he urges the fact that Jean
Froissart, who Is the best contemporary
authority on the reign Of Edward Ill,
while he has much to say about the
order in his hundredth chapter, does
not refer to 1t, and Nicholas admits
that this tells very much against the
supposed origin Of the story but Frois-
sart may have thought the matter too
trivial to relate.
1t is not, l may add, claimed that
the incident caused the foundation OF
the Order of the Garter, but only that
it gave Edward III. the idea for nam
ing the order which be had resolved to
found in any case. In the absence Of
any other solution than that which
rests OH these shadowy foundations I
think we may still 60 on accepting the
pretty legend; but I repeat my express
sion of dissatisfaction with the popu-
lar histories that they should leave
such matters as this severely alone

u week at public worship? A transient
wave Of emotionalism arouses us from
our apathy, and then our religion loses
life and movement again for another
week, to prove at last as useless as a
noxious swamp lit not by stars but by
firetiies, and within whose bounds moth
ing sweet or inspiring can endure. Such
dead souls and characters cannot praise
the Lord.
Some Of us, however, make our relig-
ion a living factor, which finds not its
sole satisfaction in formal worship, but
demands the translation of that relig-
lon into life as well, so that in our
daily work we may show its influence
as a motive force for good Can 1t not
be said of such people that their life is
religion and their religion is life
not merely a prayer, ceremony, a
bending Of the knee, folding of the
hands, but a radiant, useful, consistent
life, blessing to God and MANI They
truly praise the Lord.
For that, after all, Is the test Of our
religion. Does it impel us to right
thought and action and help us to real
lie the highest ideals of manhood and
womanhOod? Does it make our char
acter firm and genuine and mold into
harmonious growth the hidden powers
o. our inmost soul? All else is largely
Santimanta Iism upop u,h;ob No o5i6.,
can be securely built.
Religion must not be limited to orfr
relations to the Almighty, but 1t con-
Germs as vitality our relations to our
neighbor. Does it enter our home and
make 1t more helpful and loving? Does
1t enter the shop, the office, the mill, the
market, and promote justice and mercy
between debtor and creditor, employer
and employe, the humbest wage-earn-
er and the lordliest proprietor? Does
1t aid in banishing trickery, dishonesty
graft? Does it help in enforcing right
eousness as a vital element in society
If men and women would regard re.
| ligion as a living force extending over
the whole range of individual activity
in every relation there would be moth
ing visionary in such readjustment
of conditions as would make the atmos,
phere of business as fragrant as the
atmosphere of worship. Did not the
monk who wrote that ITO work was to
pray" suggest the ideal side of our
daily calling?
There Is something inspiring in a liv.
ing religion that appeals for breadth
and symmetry, not narrowness and one
sided growth, which makes the church
doors swing outward and sees through
the synagogue window wider stretch
Of sky, which views all life as Its altar
and every field Of human effort the seed
ground for highest endeavor. How the
world would sweep exaltingly into the
newer day with such religion exempli
fed and earth be made the heaven OF
heavens, as justice, mercy and peace
abide forever with men.
Make your religion, then, living
one. Be satisfied with no other. lie
your religion have the genuine stamp
Translate your creed with your life.

Bake Your Sausage.

Henry Ward Beecher once spoke Of
the frying pan as "the modern image
that fell from heaven that all men are
in duty bound to worship"
At the risk Of dethroning this idol we
strongly recommend that sausage be
baked in the oven and not fried in the
pan. Our selected castings are exceed
ingly delicate and burst in frying, and
the sausages do not present a nice ap-
pearance; besides, they are not as well
cooked and the flavor is not as good
when the sausages are fried. If you
want perfect sausages, bake them in
the oven.

Love and royalty make a sweet
sounding combination apt to excite
envy. The lovers without wealth OF
station and the rich nabobs without
love may alike look upon the young
King of Spain and his noble bride,
whose hearts are Joined, as well as
their hands, as singularly blessed. II
there are any especially favored Oh
earth 1t would seem it must be this pair
of royal young lovers, who, in addition
to their love, have all material environ.
ment to which human ambition could
aspire. But 1t is we'll for us humber
folk to remember that happiness In
love Is not dependent on high station
in life. Love, like the sunshine, Is for
all, and Is sweetest perhaps to those

trigues lost him his kingdom. After
his restoration he married Maria
Christina, whose very name Is still
hated by the Spanish people. Largely
through her influence he issued the
Pragmatic Sanction which abolished
the Salic law, made Isabella the crown
princess and gave Spain its terrible
heritage of Carlist conspiracies. AL

died a few months after marriage
Then he took the Archduchess Mari;
