True II ThL.a ,.STlTUTiONS
Unchan-'-- c-- ac-c OF the Saxon
RS-e as EVinced Throughout
the Centuries.

This tribe of -Saxons had, by acci-
dent or wise leadership, happened
upon the very country best suited to
them. A fertile island cut of from
the rest of the world and with room
for all, so that each one might, with
his family, have kingdom of his own.
This, with as little machinery of gov
ernment as possible and yet all ready
TO combine as equals in self-defense.
But as they made their land product
i've, as they became rich, they became
the prey of other peoples from north
western Germany and what is now the
scandinavian peninsula and were
forced to defend their possessions
and their customs against Angles,
Danes and Normans.
1t is a curious feature of the abid-
ing, unrelenting purpose of these Sax
ons to govern themselves and to be
let alone that, though they were con
quered in turn by Angles, Danes and
NormGns, they swallowed up all three
in the end and imposed their customs,
their language, their habit of mind
and their institutions upon each of the
invaders in turn They would have
nothing to DO with the half-developed
feudalism of Angles and Danes, nor
with the full-developed feudaism of
William the Conqueror and his follow
ers. The conquerCr claimed that the
land was his and that every holder of
land owed fealty to him personally.
1t took about 100 years for the Saxon
idea to prevail over the feudalistic
notion, and the result was magma
charta. The magma charta wrested
from King John by the barons was in
reality the shaking of personal ale
glance to a chieftain by the Norman
barons, aided by the Saxon gentry.
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love of Independence
and free governm ment. They insisted
then, and have maintained ever since,
that they derived their rights, their
liberties and their laws not from
king, but from themselves. In the
days of William t, e Conqueror their
king was elective, though chosen from
the reigning house AS late as 1859
the commons voted that King James
had abdicated and that the throne was
vacant! They chose their own rulers.
and no doubt would do so again to-day
if necessary. 1t is much too long a
story to go, step by step, through the
recital of this Development. 1t con
Germs us here only to note these un-
| changing characteristics of the race
maintained and strengthened through
centuries of war, tumult and conquest.

the case, but few of the seeds are de-

Wood Of Mummy cotffns.

A query has been addressed to Kew
as to the wood used for mummy cof-
fins in Egypt, which was stated by the
correspondent to be that of sycamore
Some pieces of mummy coffin wood
were presented to Kew in 1875 by II
H. Calvert, H. M. consul at Alexan-
dria, and later specimens of the wood
of ficus sycomorus were forwarded
from Egypt by DR.. Schweinfurth. The
microscopic structure of these speci-
mems has been compared in the labor
atory and we learn from the "Bulle-
tin" that there is no reason to doubt
that the mummy collins referred to
were made from the wood of ficus
sycomorus-the sycamore fig.

MORE BUSINESS FOB couRfs

A new phase of the Divide creek
muddle between Givens and Adams
came to light last Saturday when Civ
ems went to Rifle and swore out war
rant for Adams arrest charging NAL
icious threats. Adams was taken be-
fore Justice Cochran and required to
give bonds to keep the peace.
The one case disposed of Givens
started another by bringing action
against Adams for $1,000 damages for
having him falsely imprisoned and
otherwise damaging him by causing
him to lose his job with the Divide
creek horse association.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago Givens was arrested on war
rant sworn by Adams charging libel
and was placed in Jail ON his failure
to give bonds. The state humane so
ciety Investigated the matter and made
a report advising the governor to par
don Givens. 1t is said that some Gar
field county politicians who were in
fuenced by Adams and his friends got
busy with the executive who refused
to interfere
Later Givens furnished cash bon1
for his appearance and was released
from Jail. He was rearrested at once
on charge of carrying concealed wea-
pons but when the case came before
Justice White he at once discharged
the defendant. Then the Rifle pro-
cecdings were instituted and the wis
est of us all can't tell where the mat

POULTRY NOTES

Inarcoal pounded fine and kept in tn,
drinking pans will keep the young and
old birds in good condition.
A tablespoonful of baking soda plac-
ed in the drinking pans will prevent
all bowel trouble.
Corn is a good feed all the year
around provided the birds have a
plenty of green stuff during the warm
months.
Never close the door of the poultry
house during the summer. Use wire
screens to keep the skunks out and to
let the air ana sunshine in.
Give all the spare skim milk to
voung and old chickens. 1t is lust the
kind of food to make young chickens
grow and the kind to make hens lay.
When the little chicks begin to ap-
pear drowsy and refuse to eat, look out
for head lice. Kerosene and sweet oil
in equal parts applied daily two or
three times, will kill lice.
With poultry as with other animals,
lHc idSh'i thcy are Hliiut 10 grow Wnlle
they are young the more profit there
is i'll the business. Rush the cockerls
for market and the pullets for laying.
i Ihy drinking vessels are the cause
oVnlany serious ailments of fowls.
Continued drinking of impure water
produces what is commonly known az
cholera and the flock is soon wiped
out.
1t is not possible for all to give their
chicks unlimited range and in such
eases the feeder will have to make up
the deficiency by feeding bone forming
elements. The best of these is green
cut bone.
small spray pump at this season
will soon pay for itself for disinfect
ing and whitewashing the hen house
and coops. With small sprayer you
can go over the surface ten times as
fast as you can with brush.
If many chicks are raised. it is n
good plan to keep n large kettle near
the poultry house, in which the drink
ing vessels can be boiled at least once
week. A handful of common soda
