in that original action, the second suit
will ask for his summary dismissal
and the imposition of a fine of $500

HenrYVIIIa and Anne BOlevn
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

II T was three hundred and seven
ty-nine years ago that Henry
the Eighth was married to Anne
Boleyn-a pretty ceremony that
kicked up the dust that is not even
yet fairly settled.
After having lived with his first
wife, Catherine of Aragon. for more
than eighteen years-how Gather
inc endured him for so long is one
Of the unsolved mysteries Of his
tory-Henry began to have "scru-
pies" regarding the validity of the
union. and, inasmuch as the scru-
pies would not down, he deter
mined to get a divorce.
In plain English, Henry became
enamoured of the pretty but super
fetal and light headed Anne Boleyn,
the scruples being simply a pre- ~
text for his unlawful passion and
the cold -blooded and iniquitous
resolve to put away his lawful wife
All the world knows what snags
the king encountered while seek.
ing the divorce, and how, "by hook
or crook" (mostly by crook. he
at last succeeded in getting the doc
ument which released him from
the wife of his youth.
And so. with his divorce" in his
pocket Henry proceeded to mar
ry' the charming maid of honor,
who did not know at the time that
in just a little while she was to
have her head cut off by the crea
lures Of the man she was marrying
in the midst Of SO much pomp and
rejoicing.

Anne Boleyn's fate, cruel as that
fate was. She made herself a par
ty to the ruin and misery of an
excellent woman, and the misfor
tunes that came to her seemed to
be but the legitimate f1uitage Of
her unwomanly conduct
AS for the much-married Henry
the least that is said of him the
better for all concerned. No right
feeling Englishman finds anything
in Henry's character as a man to
exult over. He was great. big
coarse, senseless, heartIess brute OF
a man, and, from the moral view
point utterly and unreservedly des-
Dicable. But few more unlovelv
characters have ever disgraced the
pages Of history
Upon the principles Of fairness
however. It must be admitted that
Bluff King Hal" was a capable
sovereign, had true insight into

The Essence of
Marriage
Prettiness Pals Unless 1t Is
Backed Up by Intellect. The
Merely Clever Woman Is Near
ly as Bad as the Clever Man.
Bv EBERT HUBBARD
Copyright 1912. by Int irrational News Service

n CORRESPONDENT asks me
~ this: do brilliant men pre-
fer brilliant women?" First,
disclaiming the gentle assumption
that I am brilliant, I say, yes.
The essence of marriage is com
partnership and the woman you
face across the coffee urn every
morning for 80 years must be both
able to appreciate your jokes and
to sympathize with your aspira
tons If this is not so, the man
will stray, actually, or else chase
the ghosts of dead hopes through
the grave yard of his dreams.
Prettiness pals, unless it is
backed up by intellect. The mere
ly clever woman is nearly as bad
as the clever man. All these people
who carry most of their goods in
the show window are headed for
jobs at the button counter.
Often They Are Dull.
BY brilliant men is meant, Of
course, men who have achieved
brilliant things-who can write,
paint, model, crate, plan. manage,
devise and execute. And, by the
way. an executive is a man who
decides quickly-and is sometimes
right.
Brilliant men are but ordinary
men who at intervals are capable
Of brilliant performances. Not only
are they ordinary most of the time.
but often they are dull, perverse,
prejudiced and absurd. However.
they are sometimes right, and this
is better than to be dead wrong all
the time
So here is the truth: Your ordi-
nary man who does the brilliant
things would be ordinary all the
time were it not for the fact that
he is inspired by woman.
Great thoughts and great deeds
are the children of married minds
When you find a great man playing
a big part on life's stage, you'll
find in sight, or just around the
corner, great woman. Read his
tory!
A man alone is only half man;
it takes the two to make a whole
Ideas are born of parents.
Now, life never did, nor can.
consist in doing brilliant things all
day long. Brilliant men are bril-
liant only two hours a day. These
brilliant moments are exceptional.
Life is life to everybody. We must
eat, breathe, sleep, exercise, battle,
dress and lace our shoes. We must
be decent to folks. agreeable to
friends, talk when we should and
be silent when we ought.
Work of Women Clubs.
To be companionable-fit to live
under the same roof with good peo-
ple-consists neither in being pref
ty nor clever. 1t all hinges on the
ability to serve. No man can love
a woman long If she does not help
him carry the burden Of life. He
will support her for few weeks.

Robert Louis, the beloved, used
to tell of something he called
Charm" But even his subtle pen,
with all it's witchery, could not
quite describe charm of manner

which meets people. high or low.
great or small, rich or poor, and
sends them away benefited, blessed
and refreshed
Ellen Terry, turned 90. has it.
The Duse, homely, positively home
ly in features, rests her chin in
her hand and looks at you and lis
tens in a way that captures, cap
tivates and brings again the pleas
ures of past years.
I am encouraged and delighted
when l think Of how women every
where are learning to work-work
with head hands and heart, pre-
pairing themselves to be fit com
panions of men who are able to do
brilliant things,
The work of women's clubs has
been Of vast benefit to men, for it
has cut them out a pace Woman
is no longer a doll a plaything,
Teddy bear; she is the intellectual
companion of man, and he must
prepare himself to be her compan-
ion and helpmeet. There is no sex
in soul
Men and women must go forward
hand in hand-single file is saw
agery.
Many Degrees of Brilliancy.
A brilliant man is dependent on
woman, and the greater he is the
more he needs her. The only man
who has no use for woman Is one
who is not all there-one whom
God has overlooked at the final in
spection.
The brilliant man wants a wife
who is his chum, companion, a
good fellow" to whom he can tell
the things he knows. or guesses, or
hopes; one with whom he can be
stupid and foolish-one with whom
he can act out his nature. If she Is
stupid all the time, he will have to
be brilliant, and this will kill them
both. To grin and bear it is grad
ual dissolution; to bear It and not
grin Is death
We are all just children in the
kindergarten of God, and we want
playfellows IF woman is pretty
I would say it is no disadvantage
unless she is unable to forget it
But plainness of feature does not
prohibit charm of manner, sinceri-
ty, honesty and the ability to be a
good housekeeper and a noble
mother.
There are. many degrees of bril-
liancy, but as general proposition
this holds:
a brilliant man wants wife who
is Intellectually on his wire-one
who, when he rings up, responds.

INVENTORS have always kept
busy trying to make clocks that
run for long periods without wind
ing. Time never stops going on,
And the man who succeeds in maxi
ing a clock that will go without
winding for a long period will do
much to teach us the simple fact
that Time keeps on moving. Hours,
days, months and years do not
end anything. They are only names
for a ceaseless motion.
Lots of us live after the old hour

turn us over every so minutes, our
sand stops moving.

Mr.. Arnold Bennett has pointed
out that in the daily gift of Time
we all get the same allowance.
But we all do not win the same
results.
Some men make fortune in "A
hours,
Others make a mess of every
thing in that time, or less.
1t is a good scheme to work to-
ward next week, and next year.
and to ask what they can supply TO
make life more worth while twenty
years hence
one hour is about four per cent
of day, If a man at twenty will
devote that much time regularly to
improving the mind, he will know
lot worth while, long before he
thinks he needs a pension.
This is one phase OF the Tong
plan and there are many Others
possible in a 24-hour day.
Work on the job for all you are
worth. Be a keen observer Learn
something.
Also
Walk erect, and breathe through
the nostrils.

a DAY stands In the same rela-
u ton to 70 years of life as
a copper cent does to a pile
OF 81 Ave dollar bills.
1t Is a good idea to appreciate
what you can do with a penny,
but it makes more character to
learn what to do with a heap of
five-dollar bills.
Likewise IT takes a great charac-
ter to live not only from day to
day, but with the full swing Of 70
years in mind, even If one does not
live that long.
