ia tic -s-nlands there is little viii
lage called Thetford. place so insig-
nihcant that few know of it's exist
enoe. In the days of old. however,
this was the capital of the eastern
portion of our land. 1t WAS royal
city, the scat Of bishopric. and actu-
ally possessed eight monasteries and
twenty churches
Hadleigh was once a royal city, a
populous and prosperous place with
magnificent palaces, stately churches,
and other fine buildings. Today this
once great town is a very obscure
place.
There is a town which Is four miles
from the sea, which formerly was de-
clared to be the most famous of all
English harbors. This Is Sandwich,
from which sailed Canute, the great
Beckett, and the lion-hearted Richard.
In those days the port possessed an
important fortress, which jutted into
the sea, aud It also possessed an enor-
nous fleet. The ruin of Sandwich
was caused by the port sitting up;
very slowly the sea left the place,
until now this inland Cirque port is
a very small place, indeed.
rive is another example of seaport
which was driven inland. At one time
il was very important port, but now
1t is actually two miles away from the
sea

ap2asite fates. As Rye was driven

King James V. Margaret was sought
in marriage by the French king and
by the emperor of the Holy Roman
Empire, but to the surprise of every
one she chose her handsome subject,
Archibald Douglas Lord Angus. On
the occasion when some of her rebel
lious subjects threatened one of her
strongholds Margaret placed the in
FAINT king, three years old, on the
ramparts. When the subjects saw
that the child was dressed with his
crown and sceptre they withdrew and
left Margaret in possession.
The child Of Margaret's second mar
riage was a"Christian sowle, beyng a
young lady" She was known as
Margaret Douglas, and was the
mother of the famous Lord Darnley.
Queen Margaret is said to have been
passionately fond of dress. Once
when she was i'll she had two new
gowns held before her every day, and
this so cheered her that she recovered :
in short order. At one time, her
chronicler says, "she had twenty-five
dresses and has sent for more"
Margaret died at the age OF fifty
three, after a life of intrigues and
many quarrels. This was probably
due to the fact that, as the historian
says. "she had great twang of her
brothers temper Also, like Henry
VIII, she had a high complexion,
golden hair and rather handsome,
though harsh, features.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

Doubtless Huertas purposes comprise
q fat bank account somewhere on the
continent against the inevitable rainy
day. Such is the way of dictators.
Huerta's defiances and insults will
not move Washington to revenge or
punitive measures. Intervention
would, make Hnerta a national hero
instead of an assassin usurper. 1t
would prolong the period during which
he could make those deposits abroad
of Cowdrays money. He is a stormy
petrol, and the storm cannot blow too
wildly for him, so long as it does not
engulf him. He may even declare
war on the United States as a means
of prolonging the fruitful period of
management of Mexican taxes, duties
and loans.
but even should he declare war.
there is no reason to expect that VIII
son will send single soldier into
Mexican territory. Wilson will be apt
to show him trick worth two of that.
He will doubtless refuse to recognize
Huerta's authority to declare war. A
bandit cannot declare. war SO as to
bind the Mexican people. We should
merely laugh at Huerta, and still re-
gard the people Of Mexico as at peace
with the people of the United States.
But, no doubt, w lson would take a
leaf from the ledger of fernando
Cortez. He would, and probably in
his own good time will, say to Venus
itano Carranza: go in and put down
this monster Huerta. We will not
send you a soldier, but If you need
money weapons, munition or material
Of war, we have pIenty-help your
selVes!"
Thus we should let the Mexicans
settle their own fight. We might
possibly blockade the ports of Mex co
so as to cut off Huerta's supplies. We
should aid Carranza just as Cortez
aided one side In an Aztec war: but
We should do 1t, not in the name of
conquest, but of peace When Car
rama had finally defeated Huerta, as
he could with our financial and ma
terial assistance, We should be in DO.
sition to say to whomsoeyer the Car.
ranzistas placed in the pres dency:
NOW, friend, let us talk over with
you, as friends, the matter of consti-
tutional government, fair elections in
Mexico, and those educational and
land reforms which Carranza has
stated as essential to continued peace
in Mexico"
All these things are well within
Wilson'S choice, Why should he be
supposed to be even thinking of that
clumsy and destructive thing, inter-
vention? Wilson is generally sup
posed to be very long-headed and
astute. "In the hands of men en-
tirely great the pen is mightier than
the sword"

Woodrow Wilson, being historian
as well as a statesman, undoubtedly
has familiarized himself with the life
history of the only man who ever in
vaded Mexico and stayed there.
This fortunate gentleman's name is
fernando Cortez. The Mex cans had
no guns or armor, and Cortez had
both. The Mexicans thought Cortez
a god, and this was a handicap in the
hghting-for the Mexicans. The
Spaniards under Cortez had horses
new and fearsome tn ngs to the
Aztecs. Cortez had several hundred
of the best soldiery in the world; but,
with all these advantages, he would
have been killed and his army an
initiated if it had not been for one
tn 'ng. with the history of which our
astute President is perfectly familiar.
Cortez found one faction of the
Aztecs anxious to fight another fac
ton, and he let the Mexicans whip
one another. He helped one side, and
when the invasion was over he ruled
both sides.
A Paris newspaper tells the world
that the powers of Europe should
/ make 1t known to the United States
that humanity has nothing to gain
from armed intervention in Mexico
by us. Evidently Europeans are
quite without any understanding of
the characters of Woodrow Wilson
and William Jennings Bryan. They
seem to believe that their hostility to
Huerta and h S methods implies arm
ed hostility unless Huerta yields.
A great many Americans are equally
ready to rank Wilson and Bryan
among those diplomats who talk one
thing and mean another All these
people are misled by the fact that
they connot believe in the honesty of
any man in the field Of diplomacy.
But these two men are honest, even
in diplomacy, and what they have said
they mean.
They have said that there will be no
armed Intervention in Mexico; and the
Paris paper and Europeans in gen.
eral will do well to believe them. Will
son has so acted that most Americans
have left Mexico, and those remain
ing have decided to take their chances
there, no matter what happens. The
government Is now strippd for action
but the action will not be interview
ton.
Huerta will probably continue to
defy the United States. The wages
of a Mexican president are very good
and Lord Cowdray is said to be
sending money for Huerta's purposes.

Anthraclte lpIrIdends.


From the Phila. Record.
Here are two items of news, widely
separate as to distance, but not SO
unconnected as might appear at first
glance:
On Wednesday the directors of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad, one of the anthracite roads,
followed their usual cheerful course
in declaring an extra dividend of 10
per cent. The com pany's regular div
ident is 10 per cent, SO that the lucky
stockholders have for some years en-
joyed the felicity of receiving returns
of 20 per cent. on the original invest
ment. The monotony of this pro-
cedure was broken in 1909, when a
juicy little melon of 70 per cent. was
cut. No wonder the Laekawanna en-
joyed the reputation of being the most
prosperous railroad in the United
Statesi
indianapolis feels aggrieved at the
high prices it has to pay for anthra-
cite, and a little investigation has
shown that it costs $3.50 ton to
transport that commodity from the
coal regions of this State to the
Hoosier city. OF this amount 81 is
for the haul from the point of pro-
duction to Buffalo, and $1.60 is for
the transportation from that centre
of distribution to Indianapolis. Citi-
zens of the latter city, comparing this
$3.50 rate with that on soft coal from
West Virginia to Indianapolis, SLIGO
a ton, feel that they are paying too
much for the more expensive fuel.
Philadelphians viii be inclined to
agree with them. High as the rate
from the coal regions to Indiana
seems, 1t is yet moderate as compared
with the $40 rate ton charged to
this city.
There are a good many things
about the mining of anthracite that
make it rather costly fuel. These
elements are all considered in the
price charged the retailer. When,
however, it is loaded on cars and is
started toward its destination it costs
no more to move it than 1t does a
car of bituminous coal, or iron ore, or
gravel, or some other coarse material.
There can be no real justification for
the present rates, except that the
railroads like to have the. money.
The Lackawannas dividends show
that they are getting it now in big
punches.

The late James c. Carter was es-
teemed for the last thirty years OF
his life as the real intellectual leader,
certainly of the bar of New YORK
State, and probably of the bar of the
United States. He was man of inn
pressiye personality. Not of large
figure. he was nevertheless well knit
and finely proportional. His coun-
tenance told perfectly the story of
his life of intense application to his
profession and his capacity for pro-
found study.
When the late Chief Justice Cole
ridge. who was the highest judicial
officer of Great Britain. visited the
United States in 1883 he confessed
himself to have been especially i'm
pressed with the personality and the
perfect suggestion of intellectual and
moral strength which that personality
revealed of James C. Carter
Mr.. Carter in some respects re-
sembed the typical English states
man or lawyer of great reputation.
The cut of his whiskers were similar
to that which had been characterist-
ically adopted by the pre-eminently
great men of England for more than
a generation.
1t was my good fortune to have had
several very interesting converse
tions with Mr.. Carter in the last years
of his life. I found him one after
noon in the library of the Union
League Club, New York city. pour
ing over what apparently was a book
not often taken from the shelves of
the library. He greeted me cordially
and motioned to vacant chair near
him.
81 have been looking UP some OF
the published addresses of Governor
Tilden," Mr. Carter said. I'm reading
them | found myself unmindful OF
the purpose I had had in mind when
opened to them"
Mr.. Carter looked at me as though
inviting me to ask him what it was
that caused him to be diverted from
his first purpose, Instead of doing

Our Firenen Heroes

Amidst the smoke and fire,
Were veterans SCARED by flame:
The marks upon their gallant forms
Made mute appeal to fame.
They gave their lives, as soldiers give,
That you and I might live.
And some. though young, saw sud
denly
Their Ives bright hopes decline;
They battled. as their elders, till
Death found them by the line
SO we, their comrades, love them, and
Their surviving dearest kin.
We. cannot meet the hero lads,
But our honor goes to them.
Let God in His mercy reward them
These heroes of the war that never
ends"

that / said to him that distinguish
ed professor of Columbia University
had within few days told me that
he regarded the article written by
James C. Carter upon Governor TIL
den and published not long after Til

of biographical writing, but also the
finest exemplifcation of the mastery
of the English language and the rev.
elation of the wonderful powers of
that language in the hands of a mas
ter to express with clarity any
thought however subtle.
Mr., Carter turned to me quickly and
said, "Who was the professor that
paid me that compliment
ut was DR.. John Bassett Moore,
who, as you know, was twice assistant
secretary of state, and probably the
greatest master of the archives of the
state department and of the history

'CWas tbe pisbt Before Christmas
"a Revised Version).

Twas the night before Christmas, when all in the shop,
Not saesgr nor wrapper but thought she would drop
The cash children rushed with the money with care
With wan faces strained hither, thther they fled,
While visions of reprimands flashed through each head
At an hour when rich children tied in nightcaps
And setting themselves for their long winter maps
From tables and counters such clatter
Some terrible tragedy must be the matter;
The lights from the shining bulbs white in their glow,
Gave lustre of midday to objects below.

She tore open boxes and counted out cash.
When what to my wondering should rcsound
But shrewsh abuse you could hear aisles around
From woman, well gowned, who just to kick
| knew in minute she "the Old Nick
She dressed all in fur from her feet to her head
And comfortable feeling of opulence she'd
More rapid than reindeer, reproaches they came,
As she scolded and called the girl harsh name
How stupid You vixen Don't dare answer back
I'll report you at once for being slack,
My gifts came Now where can they be?
How such things can happen really can't see!
And giving nod, up the store aisle she sailed
Full of wrath that her Merry Christmas had failed
The salesgirl SO pale went straight to her work,
For dozens of buyers forbade her to shrk
Hours and hours played the drama long after she'd gone
Delivery boys, women, cash girls struggled on
In hundreds of stores in many a city,
This spells Merry Christmas. Oh good people pity!

Treatment of Criminals.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The view that the aim of the law
should be to protect society from
further onslaught by the criminal, and
not merely to wreak vengeance on the
offender, is here to stay. The institu-
tion of parole and of probation are
doing good, and their influence should
not be curtailed. At the same tiine'
however,. our courts should not ADAM
don discretion to the winds. Judge
Olson's arraignment of the foolish
sympathy" which turns loose upon
the community the pickpocket and
petty criminal who will never reform
deserves consideration Leniency to-
ward a misguided youth who gets into
trouble, but who will mend his ways
If spared a prison sentence, Is justi-
fled. This same leniency extended to
a thoroughly bad" fellow, in spite
of his stage grief and promises, is
wasted. In fact, it is but spur to
further crime.
