book which shows what the martyrs had
to eat. and what it cost at every breakfast,
dlnner and supper, and they seem to have
lived pretty well. Although Archbishop
Cranmer, Bishop Latimer and Bishop Rid
ley were placed in separate lodgings, they
were allowed during their trial ard deten-
ton before their martyrdom to eat together
IN the prison. Their meals were furnished by
Wrinkle and Wells the bailiffs, and usually
cost from three to four shiilings-seldom
more than four. Their bread and ale COM
monty came to two or three pence; they
usually had cheese and pears for dessert,
and always wine, which cost pence day,
and no more. The charges were amazingly
small compared with the cost of the same
food at the present day. They paid IA
pence for goose. II pence for sucking
pig, pence for pair of chickens; cony,
6 pence: three plovers, 10 pence; half
dozen larks, pence; woodcocks pence;
breast of veal, IL pence; a shoulder of NUT
ton, 10 pence, and roast beef. IL pence.
The most interesting disbursements re-
corded in the memorandum book, which
was submitted as a part of the bill, are as
follows:
For three loads Of wood faggots to burn
Ridley and Latimer. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. ~ o
Item, one load furs faggots. 8 4
For the carriage of thefe four loads. o
Item two chains
Item, four laborers. ................. 8
On the same page a little farther below
is separate account for the fuel to burn
Archbishop Cranmer, as follows:
For an 100 Of wood faggots. ............ o
For an 100 and half of fur's faggots. 4
For the carriage of them. ......-....... 8
10 Two lai-ouFers..
1t will thus be seen that it cost $500 to
burn Ridley and Latimer at the stake and a
little less than So to burn Archbishop Gran
mer.
After dunning the officials of the univer-
s1ty for their money for year or more the
poor bailiffs appealed to Archbishop Parker
and the other bishops. asking them to raise
the money and pay the bill. but those rev.
erend gentlemen did nothing of that kind.
Evidently, from the memorandum and the
records, they calmly sent the petitioners
back to the university. Finally Lawrence

matter to the attention of the government

ROCKEFELLER ON MARRIAGE.
Warns Bible Glass Members to Be
Particular,

NEW YORK, December 17-John D.
Rockefeller, jr. advised the unmarried
members of his Bible class at the 9Th Ave-
nue. Baptist Church yesterday to be ex-
tremely careful when picking out wives for
themselves The young millionaire. in his
most impressive tone, declared that mar
riage Is decidedly serious thing and that
men must give it severe consideration. In
the audience of members who thirstily
drank in his words were a dozen or so
gray-haired bachelors and they were con-
siderably cheered by their leaders, utter
ances
"A mans wife has much to do with his
success In life.' said Mr. Rockefeller MANY
men have ruined their prospects in life by
taking the wrong sort of wife Some
men have picked out wives only for their
money. They have realized later on that
it was a huge mistake.
I want to say to you. and 1 wish to
make 1t as strong as 1 can. that a man must
be sure to select for his life partner a wom-
an whose temperament Is like his own. If
he does not, his wife will be most ant in
time, to take him from his natural business
tendencies She may think he would do
better in some other sphere and unwittingIy
influence him to take step that will mea n
his business ruin.
Il want You unmarried men to con-
slider this seriously. Don't marry woman
who is not in full sympathy with your
iutdS. oHe Will bc d constant hanQlCaD to
you. 1t is easy for woman to make or
mar the success Of her husband
Don't marry woman simply because
she is pretty. Common sense is what
counts. If you get the right kind of a
wife you will be greatly helped If YOU
don't you would be better off without one :"
The confirmed old bachelors nodded their
heads decis;vely as Mr.. Rockefeller finished
with the subject. They seemed to regard
his remarks as a plain vindication of their
own ideas.
The leader said there were other things
to consider in the battle for success besides
the proper sort of a wife.
In the start upon a business career he
said. "a young man ought to make up his
mind not to strive merely for material gain
He is better off not to have wealth if he
has to get it through mean practices Men
think the idea of being tied to their moth
ers apron strings. as they call it, is be-
meath them. l want to say that the man
who starts out with the intention of not
doing anything that his mother would not
wish him to do and the one who sticks to
this principle is the one who must get
ahead.
I'VE ought not to be selfish. Men who
think only Of themselves are not the ones
who deserve success, and they cannot for
ever be successful"
