ROBIN HOOD NOT A MYTH.
Hero Of Sherwood Forest Had a Court

Place Under King Edward II.
Many famous men have their names
linked with Sherwood-King John, the
three Edwards, Richard Ill, Cardinal
Wolsey and Charles I.-but the hero Of
the place. the genius loci," is Robin
Hood.
Some think that the famous outlaw
Of the ballads was a 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 1895, living through
the reign of the second Edward and
into the early years Of the third. He
was of a 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
place at court. Anyhow, a man of the
name of Robyn Hode was a "var]et''
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 will always
be the hero Of romance, and those who
love romance will refuse to believe
that he never existed.-London Globe.

There were two meals which Mans

the light repast of broth and oysters
late in the afternoon. An empty stom-

temper on edge. In the morning he
was in no convenient mood until he
had the invariable coffee and bacon.
After somewhat rigid abstinence
during the balance Of the day and
evening the fatigue Of performance
edged his nerves till his midnight sup

about him, warmed him into the sun
niest humor of the day. A book or
play was the companion Of his solita-
~ meals.-Paul Wilstach in Scribner's.

There is story of an envious tailor
current with the French peasantry.
He fancied that his neighbor. who re-
ceived pension for the loss of an arm
incurred while fighting for his coun-
try. was better of than himself. Both
men went to pay their rent on the
same day.
'''rhat's lucky man." said the tailor
to the landlord. "He gets we'll paid
for his arm"
"6ut who would be willing to part
with an arm, even If he were paid for
lt?' said the landlord.
IL would" declared the tailor.
"Youw cried the landlord. "Why,
man. you wouldn't be willing to bear
anything of the sort, no matter how
much you were paid for it,
Il wish some one would try me-"
"Now, see here" said the landlord,
who had studied human nature, "I'n
tell you what-if you'll wear even so
much as chalk mark on your back
I'll remit your rent as long as you
wear it on your coat so it can be seen,
the condition being that you tell no
one why it is there"
agreed" said the tailor eagerly.
That's an easy way to pay rent"
So the chalk mark in the form Of a
cross was made on the back Of his
coat. and the delighted tailor sailed
forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintances hailed
him to tell him of the mark on his
back. Jokes were made at his ex-
pense. children laughed and pointed at
him, and his wife annoyed him with
questions and with conjugal familiari-
ty told him he was fool. The usual
ly amiable man grew surly and mo-
rose: he Stunned men. women and
children and frequented back streets.
Before the week was up the tailor
found himself embroiled in a quarrel
with his best friend, his wife had
threatened to leave his house, and he
considered himself miserable and Ill
used.
Finally one night he took off his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: ''There! l would not wear
that cross on my back another week.
no, not If l could have all the money
there is in Paris!"

been prosperous in the main, that the American working man enjoys high standard of living. The essential point is that, under q high protective tariff, American goods are ofCen sold abroad for much less the cost they are at home, that competition in many industries is stifled, that the tariff is tax on the pocket book of every consumer which goes to enrich a comparatively few industrial mag mates. Not one of these arguments has ever been successfully denied. A high protective tariff is pcrnicious, unjust, and economically unsound. That 1t has been tolerated for so long speaks poorly for the intelli. gence of the mass of American vot- CTS and tells volumes of Congressional corruption.
 There are signs, however, which seem to show that the people are awake at last. The Republican party is on trial. The tariff will tell the tale and the tale will soon be told.

Their Unceasins Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un' healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But # ySu keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.

WHAT THE TARIFF MEANS.

since there has been any tariff re vision in the United States. With the exception of two or three tritltng changes made during the Spanish American war and repealed after the close of the war, the tariff has re- mained unaltered since the Dingley act was approved by President Me Kinley on July 24, 1897. The Ding ley act has had longer life than any other tariff act, for the Walker act of lS46. which stands second in point of duration, was superseded in 1857.
 Within the past two years there has been an increasing agitation for q revision of the tariff schedules of the Dlugley act. Nor has the agita- ton been confined to those who adyo- cate free trade or . tariff for rev enue only" Many men who class themselves as "protectlonists" think that many of the Dlngley schedules are excessive.
 But until the last presidential cam paign the "stand-patters" have re- sisted all attacks on the tariff. Aid rich and his coterie in the Senate and Cannon and hls clique in the House have defeated all attempts at tariff legislation.
 In the end political parties must listen to the voice of the people. The cry for tariff revision grew, particu' larly in the middle west. and thus 1t was that both the Republican and Democratic parties promised to re- wise the taritf-before election.
 AS soon as the election of MT. Taft was assured, the Ways and Means committee of the House announced A series of hearings. which all per sons interested in tariff rates were invited to attend and to express their views. Naturally those most intereste and consequently those who chiefly accepted the invitation, were men whose business and profits would sui fer by change of tariff rates. The great mass of "conSumers" had little to say.
 A special session of Congress was called March l5 and Serene E. Payne chairman of the Ways and Means committee, introduced his tariff bill which Is intended to supersede the Dingley act and which was probably passed yesterday.
 From the start it was evident that the Republican leaders in the House and Senate did not intend making any sweeping reductions in the Dingley schedules. AS a matter of fact many of the schedules are heavier than before. The people had demanded re- ductions downward-Congress is not needing that demand.
 In defending this course Aldrich and Gallingher, opponents of stand pattIsm," had the tennerity to an nounce that the Republican party never promised downward revision, when, as a matter of record, Presi' dent Taft repeatedly promised be fore election that the tariff schedules would be reduced.
 1hI nave luG AhoN "OHN NN the tariff and if he fails to insist upon a reduction of the proposed rates he will stand in the light of a promise breaker. That he will choose this course hardly seems possible; in fact in his New Haven speech seV' eral days ago he intimated that the Republican party must heed the de mands of the people.
 Low tariff rates are Of vital i'm portance to every wage earner and consumer in the United States. AS & general proposition 1t is safe to say that high protective tariff means hIshss prices all along the line. It is
