ampton where a battle followed.
Shortly after, compromise was made
between the two houses. the con-
ditions of which were that Henry
should hold the crown for life and
then it should pass to the House Of
York. This peace, however. did not
last long for Margaret was not salts
fed that the rights of her son should
thus be set aside without some effort
on her part to preserve them.
This so-called queen of tears" in
the years of disaster, never ceased
heading councils, ruling both king
and kingdom and even leading her
own armies to the battle-ground. SO
in the first real battle of the war at
st. Adams. 1t was she who led the
Lancastrians. But they were defeated
and King Henry was taken prisoner.
Margaret and her son Edward then
fed to Scotland for protection. but
returned in a short time.
Two more battles were fought.
Margaret's army suffering defeat in
both. Then followed another battle in
which the day seemed dawning for
this indomitable queen. for she was
victorious and Henry was released.
But II she had any hopes, they were
completely crushed by the fatal bat
ties OF Barnet and Tewksbury, where
the Lancastrians suffered total de-
feat. King Henry was taken prisoner
again and shut up in the Tower Of Lon
don. where after only "a few months
he died. Whether he was murdered or
died Of grief is not known for a GER
tainty. Young Prince Edward was also
taken prisoner by the Yorkists and
put to death without even a trial.
Margaret was shut up In prison where
she stayed for four years.
At the end Of that time King Louis
Of France ransomed her for fifty
thousand crowns. She then returned
to her native country where she spent
the remainder OF her life. heart-broken
because of all the hardships and dis
appointments she had endured, the
most distressing perhaps which ever
befell a queen, wife. and mother.

BADLY CRUSHED BY
TRUCK LOAD OF COAL

Florence. June 1S.-Early yester-
day morning Mark Richardson. Jr..
while at work in the Ocean Wave coal
mine. was seriously injured. He was
employed as trip runner In the mine
and was bringing loaded trip OF cars
to the surface. when the truck under
one Of the cars gave way, precipitat-
ing Its full contents upon young Rich
ardson, who was standing near II.
1t took several minutes to rescue
the young man from his perilous POSI-
tIon and when examined It was found
that his right leg and left arm were
broken and he was suffering internal
injuries. Owing to the swollen condi-
ton of the injured parts, 1t Is impos-
sible to reduce the fracture at this
time.
This was his first day In the mine
and the accident happened shortly af-
ter he started to work.

HOW ILLINOIS DOES 1T.

good way to describe the way the
corn growers OF Illinois are planning
county and state corns shows with a
view to winning the big prizes At tho
National Corn Exposition to be held
in Omaha. December to 1s.
Last week more than 5000 school
children in 10000 school districts Of
the state heard a letter read by their
teachers from the president and sec
retary of the Illinois Corn Growers
Association. appealing to them to
plant some good seed corn, apart from
other fields on the farms. and assist
the association in securing samples
which will win honors against any
corn grown in the world.
That the Illinois school children
and young people OF the state take an
interest in the work Is shown by the
fact that last year 10000 school dis
trict corn contests" were held. In
the letter read to the school children.
The officers OF the state association
said: The corn growers of other
states are enlisted in this contest and
we of Illinois, the banner state In
corn production. must not allow other
states to outstrip us at Omaha. Our
pride as citizens OF Illinois should
spur us to exhibit to the world the

Experts from the department OF ag-
riculture at Washington. who have
been engaged for several years In
conducting experiments In irrigation
on the fruit ranch of w. b. Rowland
on Elm avenue, Lincoln Park, have
begun the istallation of a model sys-
tenn of water distribution there that
can hardly fail to be Of interest to
the public. The object OF the gov
ernment in carrying on Its experiment
tai work here is for the purpose OF
ascertaining the amount Of water re-
quired to produce a maximum crop
of fruits. berries. etc. and the best
and most economical plan OF apply
ing to the soil. The five acres on
which the government has been car
rying on it's work was leased from Mr..
Rowland four years ago and large
amount OF data has been secured that
will be OF value to irrigationists all
over the country as soon as 1t can be
properly compiled.
The improvements now In course
of installation on Lincoln Park are
under the general direction Of Mr..
Bryan. who has supervision Of all Of
the irrigation experiments being made
by the department OF agriculture in
the Rocky mountain region. He 10 be-

FEARS ACCIDENT Or FOUL

HER KISSING HUSBAND

Mrs. Chauncey Benell Of TAO River
street is greatly alarmed over the con-
tinued absence Of her husband. who
on May 5th. left Canon City for Grand
Junction. and, whom she has not seen
or heard from since. Mr.. and Mrs.
Benell moved to 223 West Catlin ave-
nue.. South Canon. in January Of this
year after the former had secured q
position al stationary engineer with
Messrs. Ripley & Hasselman. sub
contractors under Lumsden q Gordon
in the construction Of the new water
works system. When the contract Of
Ripley & Hasselman in the Royal
Gorge was finished Benell went to
Grand Junction with the expectation
of obtaining a similar job of work at
that place. Since then Mrs. Benell
has addressed two letters to her hus-
band; the first OF which she thinks
he received. The second letter was
a registered one and was mailed some
ten days ago. AS yet she has had no
return card indicating that the mes
sage has been delivered. Mr.. Benell
is a cripple and has been employed
as a stationary engineer in Colorado
for good many years. His wife says
that they parted as the best Of friends
and she is apprehensive that he has
been the victim Of an accident or foul
play. She has asked the Grand juno
ton authorities to assist her in To-
eating the missing man.

Miss Ruth Wade of Cripple Creek,
which won the gold medal, donated by
Attorney Joseph H. AIaupin. OF this
city, to Mt St. Scholastica's academy.
The subject is Margaret of Anjou,"
and deals with a period of English
history:
Margaret Of Anjou.
Among the many famous queens of
England none holds a higher place
than the beautiful and high-spirited
Margaret, daughter of Rene, King Of
Sicily and Duke of Anjou. There is a
dispute concerning the date of her
birth but the best authorities give
March 20, 1929.
Trouble entered early into the life
OF Margaret, for when she was still
a baby the fierce struggle began be-
tween her father and her mothers
brother for the throne of Lorraine.
When the contest ended in the defeat
of Rene, Isabelle, Margaret's mother,
went with her three lovely children to
"a beautiful old castle on the Rhone
where they lived for many years.
When Margaret was only fifteen, the
Earl of Suffolk and King Charles Of
France arranged a marriage between
her and King Henry vi of England.
This wedding was in reality brought
about to form a firm basis for the
treaty which at that time was being
contracted between France and Eng
land. Margaret was married by proxy,
being espoused in Henry's name by
the Duke of Suffolk. The ceremony
took place at Nanci, in st. Martins
church, November, 1444. Shortly after
wards Henry sent for his young bride
to come to England where at West
minister Abbey. May 80. 1445, the coro-
nation took place.
This young queen possessed beauty
which excelled that of most women
and her mental abilities were superior
to those of many men of her day. so
many were her charms at the time of
her marriage that one poet said of
her:
whilst that only she,
Like the rosy morning toward its rise,
Cheers all the church, as II doth cheer
the skies"
Not more than a year after Mar
garet's marriage the English people.
who had for long time been dissatis-
fed, rose up in open revolt. They were
soon subdued. however. by the ener-
getic queen who at that time literally
ruled England; for Henry was on the
verge of insanity and shortly after
wards went completely insane.
In the midst of all this strife Mar
garet gave birth to a son whom she
called Edward. a name very dear to
the hearts Of all English people. BY
giving him this name she thought to
make them love him all the more dear
ly for he was the rightful heir to the
throne. and even then there were con-
spirators plotting to rob him Of his
inheritance. Margaret saw the danger
and tried to guard against 1t. but she
had to compete with some of Eng
lands most powerful mobiles.
One of these was the Duke OF York.

blem was the white rose. while that OF

A Hog Hating People.

The hog crop of the country amounted for the year 1908 to $458 100000. This is a con- servative estimate for the packing houses paid to the hog raisers fol l the hogs slaughtered the enormou. sum of $558 100000. The tota number packed by all the packeries was about 55.OOO.ooO head. In weight the total product was about 95O.OOO,OOO pounds. or about 116 pounds for every inhabitant of this country. This may appear monstrous. but it is about as near correct as estimates can be made. The American people consume the bulk of the pork manufactured in this country and we are therefore forced to the conclusion that we are hog eating people.
 An industry that brings to the farmers annually $558.OoO.OOo is an industry worthy of being fost cred. Did you ever stop long enough to consider what this means? It means a little less than $5 per capita of the total popula- tion of the United States. Then you cant blame the hog fancier from going little hog wild. And yet with this vast sum being real ized in the hog industry we are not living up to the full opportunities in hog production. The South is much behind the North and West in the rearing of improved varieties and the production of pork. Our system can and should be greatly improved and our production in creased. Our Southern farmers give entirely too much attention to cotton They should add hogs. cattle, fruits, vegetables, grains, alfalfa, poultry, sheep and goats. But we should start out with the determination to grow the best of everything. When this is done our rich States will become richer and our people happier and more prosperous.-Te Farm and Preside.

The automobile races at the state fair this year will be of won derful and thrilling interest to all. The automobile clubs of the state are arranging a series of amateur events for three days races. in cluding class races for machines of every description, and endurance races.
 There will also be match races between rival machines and daily demonstrations and exhibitions in front of the grand stand.
 A splendid garage is being ar ranged on the grounds and will in- clude completely equipped sup ply depot.
 The amazing sale of automobiles in Arkansas during the past year and the statewide interest that is being manifested in automobiles assures the state fair an automo- bile department of magnificent proportions.
 The first automobile races in the state were held at the state fair last year and proved to be among the most interesting and exciting features of the third annual fair. but the Auto Division this year will be of surpassing merit.

there's a dozen persons in the house and only one mosquito it will sink on him. His blood seems to be especially prepared to suit their taste. This, however, is the only discrimination know them to be guilty of. The doctors say that m osquitoes peddle the ague about from place to place. don't know how true this is, but the mos quito is mean enough to do it. lie has been known to trade a case of yellow fever for drop of blood and net ask any boot. He don't seem to know much about the value of anything but blood. That seems to be his theme and he goes after it like swarm of bees after a meddlesome dog.
 People who have no mosquitoes of their own can have a good brood matched out by leaving some dirty water in a rain b2rrel. A brood thus matched will give satisfaction on a small scale. The size of mosquitoes differ in localities, but any of them are big enough. Their intelligence has been the subject of some consideration. Your Uncle Tobey has seen them on the hotel register as it lay on the coun- ter open It has been charged that they were looking to see what rooms were occupied, but that is merely guess work. However. the mosquito is mean enough to do it. Ir is more probable that they were waiting for victim to come along and register.

 The Mosquito.

The mosquito is here. He is here with both feet, and then some. He also brought with him his bill. The mosquito always has a bill with him. He introduces it indis- criminately, and without recogni- tion from the speaker. But the speaker recognizes him sooner or later. When he does recognize him it is quite often in language that would not be fit to publish in a Sunday school paper. But the mosquito don't care. He hasn't got any manners. But he has feelings. He is always feeling for soft place in which to insert his bill. The mosquito is hero. He is worse than that; he is borer. His principal business is to bore people. He is also collector.
 When he introduces his bill he collects some blood. He has had in his veins, or somewhere about his anatomy. the best blood in the world. The mosquito has no blood of his own; he has to borrow his blood. He has been lnown to borrow the blood of Kings. But he don't seem to appreciate it. and it don't make him any better. He will go away from King, when chased off. and mix the blood of the King with that of measly yellow mule. The mosquito has six feet, four to walk with and two to rub together. like Jew rubs his hands together when he has sold you a $5 suit of clothes for $14.oO.
 The mosquito does this when he has struck pay streak some- where in your anatomy. So does the Jew. The mosquito can sing when he is empty, and he's nearly always empty. In this respect he s like the organ grinder; glves you the music first and collects the toll afterwards. Whenever you hear a mosquito sing you may know that he is hollow hollow and hungry. You never know just where he is going to dig hole in your anatomy until he sets his auguf- to work. Your Uncle Tobey has been bored by mosquitoes until he understands all their habits. If
