RoRlN HOOD NOT A MYTH.

Hero of Sherwood Forest Had 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 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 a 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 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, a man OF the
name of Robyn Hode was a "varlet"
of the king In 1924
DR.. Spencer T. Hall says that Robyn
was created Earl of Huntington by
London ballad writer hard up for a
word to rhyme to Little John. Be
this as 1t 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.

A CROSS ON HIS BACK.
IL Was Made With Chalk, but Was
Too Heavy to Carry.

aoO 7SdS% 10 larry.
There Is story of an envious tailor
current with the French peasantry.
He fancied that his neighbor. who re-
cetved pension for the loss of an arm
incurred while fighting for his coun-
try. was better off than himself. Both
men went to pay their rent on the
same day.
That's lucky man. said the tailor
to the landlord. HE gets well paid
for his arm"
sBut who would be willing to part
with an arm. even If he were paid for
it?" said the landlord.
81 would" declared the tailor.
"You"' 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,
81 wish some one would try me-"
"Now. see here" said the landlord.
who had studied human nature. "Ill
tell you what-if you'll wear even so
much as a chalk mark on your back
I'll remit your rent as long as yoI
wear it on your coat so it can be seen,
the condition being that you tell no
one why it is there"
"a greed" 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 a 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! I would not wear
that cross on my back another week,
