Queer Bits of History.

Rochdale, England, laid the founda- tion of it's prosperity in the reign of Edward III, when body of Flemish emigrants took up their abode there and introduced their craft as clothiers. Rochdale, in the time of Queen Eliza beth, had become so famous for it's woolen manufactures that the "aul- nager," the official appointed by the queen to measure all wooIen cloth made for sale, had to appoint a spe- cial deputy there to keep pace with its manufacture and see that the crown was not robbed of it's duties.
 It was his power of protesting that in the first place gave the speaker of the British house of commons his name. For the early members were not great at oratory and soon realized the desirability of choosing a spokesman with ready tongue and the courage to argue with the king. Hence came the title of speaker" which was first giv en to Sir Thomas Hungerford in 1876.
