CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY w. A. MACY.
A RouGH.ANp READY NOM
ARCH.

According to the accounts Of
his contemporaries Henry u.
Of England was not very pre-
possessing In appearance. He
had a bulIet-shAped head,
freckIed skin and hulglna eyes.
In dress he was very unconven-
tionaI, and he would not wear
gloves. In speech he was rough
and-ready, and his manners
were rude. He never courted
popularity, and was unscrupu-
lous and revengefuI. Moreover,
he was Of a nervous temporal
ment, and was never still. Even
while hearing mass he would
draw pictures to keep his rest,
less hands employed. But he
had his good points. He was
strong, persistent, far-seeina
and Woodworking. He was con-
stantly on the move, and kept
his attendants tired out. So
rapidly did he travel from place
to place overseeing the affairs
Of his kingdom, that his off,
clals never knew when he
might drop In on them. And
he was energetic to some pur.
pose. Although his reign was
turbulent, and although ne was
almost constantly quarrelIng with
his barons and with the church, he
was In the main just, and
brought about many changes
for the better. He was
great-grandson Of William the
Conqueror, and his greatest
work for England was the com.
hInlng together and welding
Into one nation the conquerors
and the conquered. He sub
dued Ireland, and laid the
foundation for the future great
, British Empire.
