The pretty idea that an English
king il welded to his people with
ring dates back to the time Of Edward
tho Confessor. 1042. Edward, the
story goes, was taking the air one day
near his palace at Westminster when
a pilgrim, en- route to Jerusalem,
stopped him and asked for aims. The
King had no money with him. but he
drew a gold ring from his finger and
presented It to the beggar. Upon ar
riving in Jerusalem the pilgrim mar

the Holy Sepulchre who was so i'm

that he blessed the ring. gave 1t back
to the pilgrim and instructed him to
restore 1t to the king In London. The
pilgrim did SO. and this same ring
was used at all the coronations up to
the Reformation. Then q new one
was made engraved with the cross of
St George. -. -. -,
Prior. to 1858 all coronations are
said to have taken place on a Sunday
or festival day. Indeed, sixteen of
the twenty-one early English coro-
nations occurred on q Sunday. WILL

manuscript, the procession was
headed by many monks followed by

barons with candles in silver CANDLE

bearing crosses. After them came the

H1U ITH the entire English
- speaking world on tip-toe
over the coronation Of King
/" George ". on June 20 next
glance back over the coro-
nation ceremonies Of English kings Of
the past. considering only those whose
coronations presented unusual fea-
lures, is of interest. AZ a matter Of
fact the coronation Of a sovereign Is
by no means essential to authority:
II is simply a formal ceremony not
unlike the inaugural parade Of q
President Of the United States. Sew
eral Of the monarchs Of Europe now
reigning have never been crowned,
notably the King of Spain. the King
OF Sweden and the Emperor of Ger
many. The romantic cry, ''The King
is dead; long live the King!" is liter
ally true, for the reign Of the new
ruler begins not with bis coronation
but with the death Of his predecessor.
But, for all that. English kings and
queens have always observed the
ceremony OF being crowned.
There is a relic of most unusual
interest in the British Museum, II Is
copy Of the Four Gospels OF King
Athelstane. It is supposed to have
been written early in the tenth CEN
tury by the King. who reigned from
925 to 945, and presented by him to
Christ Church, at Canterbury. Ira
dition has 1t that this Gospel was sent
to Athelstane at the beginning of his
reign by the German Emperor. Otto,
whose sister the English King mar
ried. Furthermore, 1t is rumored that
all the very early English Kings took
their coronation oaths on this volume.
In the same place is another relic
said to be the Coronation Pledge OF
King Ethelred. 1t was devised by
Saint Dustan and was used. SO the
record runs, when, Ethelred was
crowned at Kingston on Thames In
s7s. 1t reads:
''In the name OF the Holy Trim
ity 1 promise three things to the
Christian people and my subjects:
First, that Gods church and all
Christian people Of my dominion
hold true peace; the second Is that
i forbid robbery and all unright-
eous things to all orders; the third,
that I promise and enjoin in all
dooms justice and mercy, that the
gracious and merciful God in His
everlasting mercy may forgive Us
all who liveth and rcigneth."
In the Kings library Of the British
Museum IT is recorded that an &C
count Of the Coronation Of English
Kings was first presented in book
form during the reign of Henry VIII.
In the reign of Edward VI. engrav-
tngs depicting the coronation Of FORM
er English kings were first circulated.

Wife AT POfLARViLLE

Poplarville, Miss, Aug. 9.-News
has reached here that Ed Stewart
accidentally shot and instantly killed
his young wife in the western part of
this county Sunday evening. Stewart,
who lives about twelve miles west of
here, was working with the gun, pre-
paratory to a fish-shooting expedition,
when it went off, the charge piercing
his wife,s body, entering one side ana
going out on the other, causing in
slant death Stewart is the same man
who was convicted of assault here
and sentenced to a life term in the

Cleveland, o., Aug. 9.-Cleveland

the way they went for the cops was
something painful. Finally Mark was

to call off his bees, and man and in

Since then the jailers, to keep the
peace, have been forced to supply a
big bunch of flowers daily to Denni-
