ing, small manufacturing trade and
conquest. The thousands Of Roman
and Byzantine coins found that they
made voyages to the southern lands
in the third and subsequent centuries,
and that they were the same sea row
ers whom the Latin writer's called
"Saxons." What is more natural
than that these land hungry warriors
pressed outward by the crowded con-
ditions at home, should take possess
ion of an inviting island lying in their
path?
The Mortimer have been marin
ers, explorers, traders, adventures
and conquerors for 1000 years. Out
side Of monks tales has anyone ever
heard Of the Angles, who, according
to these tales, gave the name and
the constitution to the greatest world
power Of today? What was their
record before and since in the moth
er country? Did they entirely ex-
haust themselves in conquering Eng
land? We're they like the steamboat
which had such a large whistle and
small boiler that when the whistle
blew the boat stopped? What war
rant is there for saying that the
Saxons Of the Latin writer's are in
any way related to the inhabitants
Of modern Saxony? Why not as well
say that the Angles, or Engles, came
from Engleholm, Sweden, or that all
germs come from Germany?.
Tame in his "History Of English
Literature" says: "Franks, Frisians,
Saxons, Danes, Norwegians, Iceland
ers are one and the same people,
Their language, laws, religion, poetry
differ but little."' Taine quotes the
Eddas and older sagas as the earliest
Iexample Of English Literature. Ad-
herring to custom he calls all the
above people Ang1o-Saxons. It is
VERY evident that he ascribes this
i Saxon" literature to Scandinavia
Will Prof. Egge contend that Rag
mar, Lodbrok, Gunnar, Bjohn, .Beo.
wulf and other characters of the ear.
ly sagas come from Germany?
\ Prof. Egge says: "Thelr Language

Germans and not Scandinavians. This
may be perfectly plain to a "schol-
ar" but to an Ignorant" person it
seems slightly scrambled.
It was asserted that the early Eng
fish did not call themselves Sax
ons. The professor says they did,
but gives no proofs. Freeman in his
English People" says "They did not
call themselves Saxons, or their land
Saxony. They called themselves
English and their land England"
It was also stated that the word
"Anglo- Saxon" was not used: till the
latter part of the 10th century. Prof:
Egge shows no proofs. The New
Encyclopedia Vol. l, p. 562 says, ut
was not till Camden's Britannia, year
1886, that the compound Anglo Sax
on made it's appearance" On page
XXI Webster's. International Die
.tionary it is stated: "The term An
glo- Saxon was first applied to the
language by modern scholars" The
professor will perform service if he
will prove to the publishers Of these
works that their contributors are
guilty of "false and ignorant state
ments." Let us also have proof that
Essex, Sussex and Wessex were not
names first applied by Latin bishops
to dioceses. These names may not
mean more than St.: Paul or Green
land. -. p. II
AS to philology, there would be
much greater confidence in the de.
auctions Of philologists If they were
not always trying to twist every
Norse-English word into conformity
with the old Mother Goose tales
about German Saxons. Take tn.
word write It comes from ''rita'
meaning to scratch or mark as OF
stone, wood, etc. "Rita runner" O.
"rista runner" is clearly Morse fo1
the ancient Germans did not hav,
runes, or any other alphabet. Ant
! yet philologists are trying to maxi
us believe that "write" is a German
word. Possibly there are those VIII.
claim that even runes were "mad
in Germany"
II What is knife but the Morse wor,
J; knit? The Germans even in Saxony
say messer. Prof. Egge says tn
Norsemen did not come into Eng
land in any numbers till A. D. 866

A woman holds a baby as

Some men are already figuring

Most girls would rather b g
married and have trouble than

Laugh heartily at a mans joke

The trouble with the young

that they consult their hearts

When a woman acts fnicky
she says it is nervousness but
when a man gets that way it's
nearly always called meanness.
If a woman really loves a man
she will tell him occasionally that
he works too hard even if the
