this would be the result of permitting the
bill in its present shape to become law !"
The message was received with the
accompaniment Of laughter which has
been the recent fashion of receiving mes
sages from the President by the House
and Senate. 1t is believed, how yer, that
Congress will not be able to muster the
necessary two thirds vote to override the
veto. II is thought probable that the bill
will remain on the table, awaiting the
action of the special Congress which,
although it will be called specifically for
the purpose of considering tariff bill.
will nevertheless have plenary authority
to enact other legislation. Even if Con-
gress were able to pass the bill over the
Presidents veto by two thirds vote, it is
doubtful if some members and some SEN
ators would dare to vote in favor of such
a measure.

ROBIN HOOD NOT A MYTH.
Hero of Sherwood Forest Had Court
Place Under Kine Edward II.


Place Under King Edward II.
Many famous men have their names
linked with Sherweod-King John, the
three Edwards, Richard III, Cardinal
Wolsey and Charles I.-but the hero Oh
the place, the genius loci" is Robin
Hood.
Some think that the famous outlaw
of the ballads was myth, mere po-
etic conception and creature of the
popular mind, but Mr.. Hunter in his
research into the person and period of
Robin Hood holds that he was born
between 1885 and 1906, living through
the reign of the second Edward and
into the early years of the third. He
was of family Of some station seat
ed near Wakefield and supported the
Earl, of Lancaster in his rebellion
against the government. When the
earl fell and his followers were pro
scribed Robin Hood took to the woods
and supported himself by Staying the
wild animals found in the forest and
by levying a species of blackmail on
passengers along the great road which
united London and Berwick. This
continued for about twenty months.
from April, 1922, to December, 1923,
when he fell into the kings power,
who for some unknown reason not
only pardoned him, but gave him a
place at court. Anyhow, man of the
name of Robyn Hode was ''varlet'
Of the king in 1924.
DR., Spencer T. Hall says that Robyn
was created Earl of Huntington by a
London ballad writer hard up for a
word to rhyme to Little John. Be
this as it may, Robin Hood viii always
be the hero of romance, and those who
love romance will refuse to believe
that he never existed. London Globe.

THE OLD SAIL DRILL.
PeriIs the Modern Warship Men Do
Not Have to Face,

Per1ls the Modern Warship Men Do
Not Have to Face.
One of the dangers and one of the
hardest tasks of the man-of-war's man
vanished out Of his life when. with the
supplanting of the frigate by the steam
cruiser, the old time sail drill became
thing Of the past. Fleets in the old
days were continually exercised in
making and shortening sail, shifting
spars and all similar maneuvers aloft,
says Captain j. w. Gambler OF the
British navy in his Links In Ny Life"
As the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as to which ship should
carry out the evolution first accidents
were frequent. Hardly a drill day
passed without men being seriously In
jured.
Once during a drill In Kiel harbor,
where the rivalry in the feet was in
creased by the eagerness of foreign
ships to compete with the English, an
unfortunate French midshipman went
head first from the mizzen erosstrees
of the French flagship to the deck.
That numbers of accidents should
take place in sail drill was not aston
ishing when one remembers that sparS,
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long and weighing two or three
tons were whisked about with be-
wildering speed with nothing but
mems hands and brains to guide
them; hundreds Of men crammed into
a space of a few hundred square feet,
where nothing but the most marvellous
organization and discipline could avert
death on deck or aloft.
To the landsman, who understood
nothing of the diflculty involved in.
rapidly shifting these great masts and
yards or In Keeling and furling thou
sands of square feet of stiff canvas
perhaps wet or half frozen-the rapid
ity with which 1t was done was per-
haps the chief wonder.
Ropes, running like lightning through
blocks that were instantly too hot from
friction to be touched, had to be
checked to within few inches, requir-
ing the utmost GOODNESS and presence
Of mind, while the officer in COM
mand had to superintend what to the
uninitiated looked like a tangled mass
of cordage, but which was in reality
no more in confusion than the threads
in loom.
In an instant this officer might see
something going wrong. To delay a
single second meant a terrible catas-
trophe. Every one, allow and aloft,
was relying on his Judgment.
Delay! Ease away!'
The order came in an instant. The
boatswain's mates repeated it in a
particular call which this life and
death necessity soon taught every one
to understand, the shrill whistles rising
above the din of tramping feet and
running ropes or the thunderous crash
of the great sails in the wind. Death
had been averted-or not. If not you
looked up and saw some unfortunate
man turning head over heels In the
air. Your heart stood still. Would he
catch hold of something, even If only
to break his fall, or would he come
battering on the deck? Vt was mere
toss up. If he was killed outright it
generally stopped the. drill for the
day; if he was only seriously injured
the drill went on, for this was part
of the lesson that must be learned
that in peace, as in war, one must take
his chances.
