WoLseY AND HIS HoNoRs
Great Cardinal. Minister Who Fell by
the "Sin of the Angels"

the "Sin of the Angels"
Thomas Wolsey, the great cardinal
minister of Henry Win, died disgraced
and miserable sS2 years ago. writes the
Rev. Thomas B. Gregory In the Kansas
City Star.
In the life story Of this remarkable
man, the romance of history reaches its
zenith, and as long as men and women
continue to read of the past, they will
find abundant wonder In the account Of
the rise and fall Of the butchers SON.
The "sin by which fell the angels"
was strong in Wolsey. And almost be-.
fore he had finished his academic ca
reer he began laying the plans for his
personal advancement. His rise was
phenomenal. With amazing rapidity he
passed from the quietude Of his Somer-.
set parish to the giddy height from
which to fall, "like Lucifer. never to
hope again." ~ sr
In rapid turn he became chaplain to
the archbishop Of Canterbury, private
chaplain to Henry VIII, diplomat, privy
councillor, lord chancellor. cardinal and
prime minister, with power absolute
and viii unquestioned.
!. Beneath his -blushing honors" he
was almost smothered. And never did
mortal man surround himself with such
magnificence and pornp.
OF all the 'fhigh-rollers" that ever
went flashing and scintilating along
the way OF this world Wolsey bears the
palm. The Field Of the Cloth Of Gold"
was tame and unattractive In compari-
son with the glorious pageantry that
waited upon the butchers SON. The
cardinal minister did nothing by halves
In everything he was princely-prodi-
gal and splendid as the sun. ~
He was generous to fault and
stancher patriot never breathed. He
dearly loved his native land and would
tolerate nothing that distracted from
its glory. A masterful diplomat. by a
most skiIful use OF the balance Of
power" idea he raised England from
third to a first class position among the
nations Of the earth. Istt
It was the virile and powerful brain
of wolsey rather than the thick head
Of his royal master. Henry. that prepar-
ed the way for Britain's greatness un-
der elizabeth and her successors, and
1t is quite likely that all would have
remained well with the illustrious min
lister had 1t not been for the famous. or
Infamous, divorce episode. 49, 9al
In that malodorous affair Wolsey.
trying to ride two horses at once, fell
between them and was crushed. -
Forced by Henry to make an attempt
at fixing up this divorce. he failed. and
was frowned upon by, his irate sover-
eign. And because the king frowned.
everybody else frowned--and Wolsey
was left to the mercy of the rude
stream" which was to forever hide
him" ~ qftT ~
The great man-great now only in his
misery-realized the mistake he had
made and cried out In the bitterness OF
his soul. Had but served my God
with half the zeal served my king He
would not In mine age have left me
naked to mine enemies"
But It was too late. The old mans
day was over; and on the 2sth of No
vember. 1880, they buried, In q rude
coffin and without ceremony, the mar
whose genius had made possible the
England Of Elizabeth and the British
empire Of today.

DEMON SHIPS.
Vessels That Seemed to be Moved by
the Spirit Of Destruction. So

Vessels That Seemed to he Moved by
the Spirit Of Destruction. SO .
There is an old Cornish legend Of a
phantom ship which is seen In or on
lPorthcurno harbor and which, unlike
most ghosts, has a terrifying habit of
pursuing any vessel which 1t sights.
If 1t catches It's victim there Is col
lision, but no roar Of inrushing water.
At the moment Of contact the ghost
ship vanishes into thin air, and the
puzzled crew of the other vessel rub
their eyes in terrified amazement.
To any one who knows the legend
the vessel that saw the phantom ship
Is, however, doomed. Before the next
New Years day she will be sunk In
collision with another vessel or q rock.
One wonders whether the original of
this phantom at all resembled that
notable and appropriately named
yacht Satanita. The Satanita was a
fine and very powerful cutter. which
originally belonged to Mr.. C. D. Clarke
and afterward to Sir Maurice Fftz-
gerald.
The Satanita was a hard weather
craft. but let the breeze be the least
heavier than she liked and she would
be seized with what seemed more like
demonical possession than anything
else, and even with four men hanging
on her helm she would sometimes
take charge and rush right up into the
wind.
She was the cause of several seri-
GUS accidents, the worst Of which hap
pened at the Mudhook clubs regatta
in 1894. On that occasion she was be-
having in the most perfect fashion.
when suddenly and without the slight
est warning she flung all control, and,
just as a race horse will some times
Savage" an opponent, she dashed In
mad fury at Vakyrie II, and sank
her like a stone. Well was the Satan
ita called the demon" yacht.
But It is not only sailing ships that
act at times in a strange and unac-
countable fashion. Some years ago
the British warships Pique, Mutine,
Rosario, and Britomart entered Kiu-
kiang harbor and dropped anchor in
single file. Presently steamer which
had been discharging her cargo unan-
chored and began to steam out.
She was just abreast Of the war
ships when she suddenly made straight
fol the Pique. The warship's officers
and men saw the man at the steamers
wheel doing all he knew to keep her
off, but she fatty refused to answer
her helm and went crashing into the
Pique, smashing her boats and davits'
After clearing her, she went for the
Mutine, but luckily did not strike her
full. However, she carried the Mu-
tines bowsprit clear away. Not yet
satisfied, she made rush at the Ro-
sario, but by superhuman efforts on
both ships the mad steamer was pre-

His Manners Not Conductive to FseI.
ing Of Hospitality.
"The rhinoceros Is, with the giraffe,
the hippopotamus, the gerenuk, and the
camel, one Of Africa's unbelievable AMI
mails. Nobody has improved upon Kip
ling's description Of him IN the Just-so
stories-' horn on his nose, piggy
eyes and few manners He lives q
self-centered life, wrapped up in the
porcine contentment that broods within
nor looks abroad over the land" writes
Stewart Edward White, In the Ameri-
can Magazine. when anything exter-
nal to himself and his food and drink
penetrates to- his intelligence he makes
fiurrid fool of himself, rushing mad
ly and frantically here and there In
an hysterical effort either to destroy
or get away from the cause Of disturb
ance. He is the Incarceration of a liv-
ing and perpetual crouch.
Generally he lives by himself. some-
times with his spouse, more rarely still
with q third that is probably a grown
up son or daughter. !, personally. have
never seen more in. company. Some
observers have reported larger bands,
or rather collections, but, lacking
other evidence, should be inclined to
suspect that some circumstance Of food
or water rather than a sense Of gregari-
BUSINESS had rather attracted number
of individuals to one locality. ~
"The rhinoceros has three objects In
life-to fill his stomach with food and
water, to stand absolutely motionless
under bush and to annihilate ant hills
when he lies down in the tall grass.
When disturbed at any Of these occu-
pations he snorts. The snort sounds
exactly as though the safety valve Of a
locomotive had suddenly opened and as
suddenly shut again after two seconds
of escaping steam. Then he puts his
head down and rushes madly In some
direction, generally upwind. AS he
weighs about two tons, and can, In
spite of his appearance, get over the
ground nearly as fast as an ordinary
horse, he Is truly imposing sight. es-
peciaIly since the innocent bystander
was borne to the beast from upwind.
and hence In the. general path of pro-
gress. This Is because the rhino's scent
is his keenest sense; and through 1t he
becomes aware, in the majority OF
times, Of mans presence. His sight Is
very poor, indeed; he cannot see clear
ly even a moving object much beyond
fifty yards. He can, however, hear
pretty we'll.
"The novice. then, is subjected to
what he calls a vicious charge on the
part of the rhinoceros, merely because
his scent was borne to the beast from
upwind, and the rhino naturally runs
away upwind. He opens fire. and has
another thrilling adventure to relate.
AS a matter Of fact, II he had approach
ed from the other side and then arous-
ed the animal with clod Of earth, the
beast would /. probably have charged
away In identically the same direction.
I am convinced from fairly varied ex-
perience, that this Is the basis for most
of the thrilling experiences with mi
noceros."

Little Ruth Marie James

We are again reminded that the
young die. We received a letter
one day recenely from a broken
hearted mother in which she told
the sad news of the death of one
Of her children. Little Ruth
Marie James, youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. 6. A. James, of
near Gleason, died June 10, aged
tire years, and nine months and
twenty-seven days. Ruth was only
confined to her bed three days,
having malaria and congestion.
Her remains we're taken to Hunt
ingdon and out to Liberty All
where they were tenderly lain to
rest after funeral services con-
Quoted by Bro. Richie.
Ruth was a bright child and al
ways had a sweet expression and
when the writer, who passed the
home often, would pass, she seldom
failed being out to greet him with
a smile and / shall ever remember
her as being very sweet child.
1t gives me sadness to know that
] shall not have the pleasure Of
seeing Ruth any more as | pass
the home.
/ would point her bereaved
parents to Him, who can wipe
away every tear from your eyes
and give you the blessed assurance
that if you make the preparation
in this life, that when the sum-
mons comes to you as it did to
little Roth that He will guide you
safely to that place prepared for
you and all the saints and where
we can shout the praises of the
Lord of glory throughout the
ceaseless ages of eternity. Ruth
lived but a few short years in
this world, but she will live for
ever over there. She cannot come
to US but We can go to her.

APPROPRIATION BILL

A proper appropriation bill
might easily have been passed
while the legislature wasin session
but for the obstinate determination
of the regulars" to force the
passage of an improper bill, loaded
with many extravagances, over
the governors veto.
Skeleton appropriation bills
we're easily introduced and could
have been filled out and passed in
regulor form with ready despatch
had not the regulars" been so set
on their partisan desire to humili-
ale the governor and embarrass
his ADMINISTRATION with deficit.
They pressed the appropriation
bill that had been vetoed and it
failed for lack of a constitutional
majority. That made an end of
any possibility of passing an APP
preparation bill at the present SEES
sion. The state constitution, Art
icle 2 Section 10, very plainly
says:
After a bill has been rejected.
no bill containing the same sub
stance shall be passed into law
during the same session.
There is no sort of provision
made for considering a vote on a
vetoed bill. The attempt to pass
the bill over the governors veto
failed. The bill was, therefore,
rejected and no other bill of the
same purport can be constitution
ally passed at the present session.
The needed appropriation for
the conduct of the state govern
ment can now be made at an extra
session of the legislature called for
the purpose. Nashville Banner.

agcs must attend school unless
they are physically or mentally
unable.
Please impress upon the teach
ers taking summer schools that
the trustee will not have the mon
ey to pay for summer work as
soon as the schools are out, but it
will be necessary for them to wait
until sufficient money comes into
his hands to meet these obIiga-
tions.
l want to ask all concerned in
school work to esteem the teacher
a little more highly for the works
sake and to enter a little more
heartily into the school spirit to
make our efforts more pronounced
for good. If the teacher does not
exactly suit you and if some Of the
school laws do not exactly meet
your approval, take what we have
and use it so successfully that we
may hope to secure better things.

LoNGEsT by

Saturday being June II, was the
summer soIstice the longest day
in the year.
On that day the sun appears, &C
cording to The astronomers, to en-
ter the sign Of the zodiac called
Cancer because, having reached
thus its furthest distance from the
equator, it seems to stand still for
a short time and then begin, like a
crab, to 90 slowly backward. AS
this happens the days begin to
shorten imperceptible, but sure
", until we find ourselves in the
early twilights of the autumn and
then presently at the winter soils
tice on Dec. %, the shortest day
of the 365. The sun then is in the
sign Of Capricornus and begins its
forward movement toward Cancer,
adding q little more light to each
day as it travels.
Midway between the summer
and winter solstices are the au-
tumnal and vernal equinoxes, when
the day and succeeding night are
of equal lengths. News Scimitar

BOARD ELECTION

Next Wednesday is election day,
the time when the voters of the
town shall be given an opportunity
to say whether or not Huntingdon
shall have free high school course
for every child of school age. and
whether the gravel, light and wa
ter shall be extended to East End.
Let all voters who have at heart
tae upbuilding Of the town, the
education of the children of the
town, and a desire to attract a no
BILE class Of people to come to
Huntingdon seeking homes, allow
nothing to deter them from ex-
pressing their sentiments at the
ballot box "Wednesday. Let them
be present to cast their ballot for
the bonds for the dormitory and
the bonds for street improvement.
Let them also preparatory to the
election use their influence in Gre
ating sentiment for these much
needed improvements.
There is nothing that speaks
more forcibly for a town, save her
churches, than her schools. Hunt
ingdon has a fine school, one that
is doing excellent work, and in or
der that the young people who
come from a distance to receive
training here, may be accommo-
dated, it is necessary that a DOR
mitory be built. In order that
every child of Huntingdon may
have a high school education, the
high school course should be free,
aud under the proposition that is
proposed in connection with the
voting Of bonds, it will be so.
1t is hoped that every citizen of
toe town will put his shoulder to
the wheel and have Huntingdon
take her rightful place along with
the towns that are furnishing a
free high school course.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutionaI remedies, Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's. normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that can not be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
