Percy had no complaints to make, but
Miss Doris Chatterton had. That

she didn't propose to stand it.

SAY BACON WROTE THE BIBLE
English eaconians Declare He Did
Work for King James-Was
Completed in 1910.

New York.-The latest sensation in
literary circles here and in London is
the claim which has been suddenly
brought forward by English Baconians
that Bacon rewrote the Bible as it
was translated for King James and
that the King James version, as that
term is now understood, is really the
work of Bacon. According to T. w.
Smedley of the Bacon society the final
revision of the authorized version
was handed to King James in 1909
and returned by him completed in
1910.

By BRYANT C. ROGERS

Many times before Doris Chatter
ton had reached the age of sixteen
her father and mother had said:
THAT girl needs a firm controlling
hand, or she'll take the reins and
drive the team"
Doris didn't want to be bossed. She
wanted to boss others. She had will
that struck sparks Of fire when op-
posed, and even when her father put
his foot down hard he wasn't quite
satisfied that he had won victory.
At eighteen Doris had settled down
to the belief that she ran the house
and all in it, besides tho township,
the county and parts Of two adjoining
counties. All this, and yet she had
no enemies and few critics. It came
30 natural to her to domineer that
people insensibly gave way to It. She
didn't go around with a chip on her
shoulder, but she just sailed along
having her way.
Miss Doris was fond Of horseback
riding. Gallants used to run out from
the city to ride with her. There were
also others living near by. For in
stance, there was a young Mr. Percy,
who was deeply in love. His mother
backed his suit. and almost tho first
thing she told him was:
Doris is very self-willed and
strong.minded, and you must be care
ful not to cross her. At the same
time, give her to understand that
should heroic occasion arise she will
ind you hero. It will be well to let
her know that you had three ances-
tors in the Revolutionary war;"
Young Percy was making his court
ship on the lines laid down, when the
two went riding one afternoon. The
road they took was being improved
by the state at long, steep hill.
There was natural wall of rock
there, and 1t was being blasted for
material to spread on the road. In or
der that the workmen might have a
clear field, and to avoid Injury to trav-
elers, new road had been cut around
the hill for temporary use and signs
put up. Neither rider knew of the
change until reaching the road. Mr..

Many hostesses this winter are serv-

should be amended
Mr.. Gompers declared he had been
given assurances that the sherman law
would not affect labor organizations. but
never took them seriously.
