to the full-armed Illus Caries' of the
royal bodyguard. The leader was Har-
old. Saxon king of England. He had
rushed his troops by long marches to
this spot, to check the advance OF a
Norman invader.
In the plain below. toward the hill
side. marched the invading host. Far
In advance OF their line rode the Nor
man minstrel, Taillefer, gaudiIy
dressed. throwing his sword into the
air and catching 1t; singing loudly the
Death Chant of Roland" 1t was this
minstrel who struck the first blow in
the battle OF Hastings and who was
first to fall.
The Normans flung themselves upon
the Saxons, only to be sent reeling
back Again and again they charged
vainly against that solid battle line.
The Saxons hurled them on. shouting:
'Outl Out!"
At last the willy Norman leader,
Duke William, tried craft where force
had failed. He drew of his soldiers in
seeming retreat. The headstrong Sax
ons. disobeying Harold's orders, broke
their own line to dash in disorderiy
pursuit OF the fleeing foe. The Nor
mans suddenly turned and charged
through the broken line. gaining the
hilltop. scattering the Saxons. Staying

England

OF Duke Robert OF Normandy c'Rob-
ert the Devil') and tanners daugh-
ter. He was born in 1927 From early
boyhood he led a life of constant war
fare, peril and treachery. In order to
save his dukedom and his life from the
greed of neighboring potentates he
was forced to acts Of brutality and
crime At-length he was safely estab-
lished In his own realm and looked
about him for further conquests- HIS
eye fell on England.
The English king. Edward the Con-
fessor," was childless. William per-
suaded or bribed Edward to bequeath
to him the throne of England.
Edward died early in 1866. The
English decided, rightfully, that no
king could legally bequeath his crown
to anyone. So they elected Harold
their king. At once William demand
ed the crown. Harold refused to give
1t up. William stirred up an invasion
of England by the Norwegians and
landed Norman host on the British
shores at about the same time. Har-
old thrashed the Norwegians, then
hurried his tired army to Hastings to
meet William. The Normans were
victorious; and In London, on Christ
mas day, 1906, william was crowned
king of England. There he built a
fortress that later became the famed
Tower of London"
His conquest OF England was a piece
of bare highway robbery. with no
shadow of moral right to justify 1t.
Yet, In the end. 1t was the best thing
that could have happened to the coun-
try. For 1t infused new blood into the
rough Saxon strain, modernized the
isolated. old-fashioned British and
brought them into touch with the
world at large and with progress.
To create royal hunting park for
himself (the New Forest) he destroyed
villages, churches, converts and farms
for a space of thirty miles in Hamp-
shire and had a desolate track stocked
with game for his own pleasure. The
evicted Inhabitants were turned away
to starve. Williams fathers had been
sea rovers. He had chosen to become
land pirate; merciless. grasping; a
lawless lawmaker.
The king of France made fun OF
Williams fatness. William. In rage,
found excuse to invade France. There,
in 1887. he captured and burned the
town OF Nantes. AS he was riding
through the city's hot embers his
horse reared and threw him, causing
mortal injury.
Thus the blackguard who for sixty
years had braved death In every form
perished at last through bit Of care
less horsemanship.

the son OF Frenchman OF lowly birth
He had no rightful place In the acad-
emy from which officers were to be
graduated. For In those days, only
men of wealth, rank or influence as a
rule, rose to rank in the French army.
That ill-placed boy was Louis Antoine
Fouvelet de Bourrienne
His classmate and friend was a
splendid chap with huge head. He
was the butt Of the school because OF
his hot temper. his haughtily borne
poverty, his shabby clothes. his shrill.
cracked voice and Corsican accent.
This youngster was the son of an old.
impoverished Corsican family. His
name as spelled. at that time was

branches of the diplomatic service.
The friendship OF boyhood had cooled
when he and Bonaparte chanced to
meet in Paris in the late days OF the
old French monarchy. Bonaparta,
with his keen judgment of human ma
ture. seems to have gauged his old
schoolmates character Alright and to
have found nothing in 1t to admire
Yet when Bonaparte was First Con-
SUI and ruler of France in 1896 he
sent for Bourrienne and made him his
private secretary. He afterward be-
slowed other ofices on the poor young
diplomat
But Bourrienne was not content
with the legitimate earnings of his
various positions. A man SO near the
head Of the government could find
many chances for graft. And Bcur-
rienne found them. He became "si-
lent partner" In a dishonest army
contract firm. He and his accom-
plioes cleared up. 1t is said, more than
100000 before their frauds were ex-
posed.

PROFITABLE FEEDING
OF CHESTER WHITES
Difference Shown Between Hog
Given Penty Of Feed and
One Neglected.

The result of different treatments of
hogs came to my notice, last spring.
when a neighbor sold two average
pigs eight weeks old to a man who did
not have any other hogs. He bought
the two hogs to make pork the next
fall and. Of course. wanted to give
them good chance to do their best.
They were fed wheat middlings. milk
and scraps from the table. in addition
to the pasture they gathered. They

In April These two pigs dressed be-
tween $50 and It's pounds each when
about seven months old.
The pigs that had not been sold and
out of the same litter were allowed to
run on pasture. and when corn was
Ready to feed they were fed enough
corn to put them in pork condition.
but when slaughtered at about the
same time as the other two they only
weighed 65 to 70 pounds each. There
was q difference of nearly 100 pounds
between these well-fed hogs and their
mates not SO fed, and it is wholly due
to different treatments. 1t is easy to
see which was the most economical
pork producer-the well-cared-for hog
or the one which got enough feed to
barely live until fattening time The
difference in value was almost $40. as
pork sold at 10 cents pound here
last fall. The two well-cared-for hogs
did not eat near $40 worth of feed
from the time they were separated
from their mates until they were
slaughtered.

Bourrienne, Napoleon's Schoolmate

Bourrienne was banished by Napo-
leon to Hamburg. But, to soften the
blow. his old school friend gave the
secretary fat ofiicial appointment
there. Bourrienne had acquired the
taste for graft. Now that he was
away from Napoleons watchful eye he
gratified his dishonest cravings with
out stint.
He wrongfully wrung huge sums
from the Hamburg senate and from
German noblemen. At last his thefts
became SO outrageous that complaint
was made to Napoleon. The latter,
who was now emperor of France, re-
called Bourrienne In disgrace. degrad-
ed him from his ofiice and compelled
him to refund 100000 of the. stolen
money. Napoleon was never noted for
gratitude or for kindness. The fact
that he had done anything at all for
the ex-school chum was unusual Now
he washed his hands of the man.
Bourrienne. turned adrift and forced
to give up part of his ill-gotten cash,
became Napoleon's bitterest enemy.
He did all in his power to injure his
former benefactor, and toiled cunning
ly for the emperor's downfall
In 1874 Napoleon was oveTthrown
by the allied powers of Europe and
was packed off to Elbe an exile. Bour-
rienne was among the first to hail
Louis XVIII. (the Bourbon king of the
allies set on frances throne in Napo-
Icons place.. and to clamor for office
under him.
Then back from Elba came Ma
poleon. All France rose to greet him,
and Louis XVIII. fed for his life. Ma
poleon offered pardon to nearly all his
political foes. but he pointedly re-
fused to forgive Bourrienne. Tremb-
ling at his own danger. Bourrienne
rushed for safety to the still fleeing
Louis XVIII. This act of devotion"
touched the heart of the fugitive king.
He made Bourrienne minister of state
after Napoleon's second and final
downfall. The turncoat Jared well for
some years. But like most grafters.
Bourrienne at last lost every penny of
his tainted wealth. He was forced to
flee from France to escape his cred.

His mind gave way and, in 1884, he
died In an insane asylum.
