He Tanned the Princasa.

William the Conqueror when he was
only the Duke Of Normandy had fallen
in love with the Princess Mathilde Of
Flanders. She was proud and naughty
and had refused the noble lovers who
were anxious to win her hand. The
willy Norman studied her character
carefully and when he had mapped
out his plan of campaign rode into the
town one day when she. at the head Of
a party, was going from church. He
sprang from his horse by her side,
boxed her ears soundly. pulled her off
her steed, rolled her vigorously in the
mud, told her that he loved her and
rode away. The astonished princess
was Infatuated and swore all kinds Of
vengeance. After her rage cooled
down, however, she said to her father
that upon reflection she had come to
the conclusion that the only man who
could treat Mathilde Of Flanders in
that manner should be her husband
They were married, and the union
turned out to be one of the happiest
marriages in the history of royalty.

the crit cism OF himself by Senator For

Mr., WILLIAM J. BRYAN's reply t.
President Roosevelts charges WAS given
out in Milwaukee on Saturday. The
writer ably defends his knowledge OF
Governor Haskell against the chsrges
which have been brought against him
until the charges can be examined in
some court where partisanship does not
bias. Mr.. Bryan speaks Of the election
of Mr.. Haskell as Governor OF Okla
bona and says that the constitution
was adopted and that Governor Haskell
was elected in spite of the efforts of Mr..
RoosevelPs administration and in spite
of the speeches made in Oklahoma by
Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Bryan charges among
other things that the steel trust, with
Mr.. ROosevelfs express consent, pur-
chased one of its largest rivals and thus
obtained control of more than so per
cent of the t3til output. Mr.. Bryan
asks the president if he will insist that
in permitting this be showed less favor
to the monOpolistic corporations than
the writer, in opposing it. Mr.. Bryan
abruptly charges that Governor Hughes,
quoted by President Roosevelt as having
"riddled the democratic trust remedy"
was himself the beneficiary of the trusts,
snd cites the campaign contributions to
the Hughes election fund two years aeO.
Among these pro J. 7. Morgan, John
d. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie
and William Nelson Cromwell. Pursu-
ing this subject further, Mr.. Bryan says
that as the president quotes Governor
Hughes he takes it for granted thtt
Judge Taft has not expressed himself
satisfactorily on the trust question.
