Catherine of Aragon. who was born
on December Is, 1885, had the distinc-
ton of being the first of Henry Wills
many wives. She was the daughter of
Ferdinand and Isabella, of Spain, who
played such an important part in
Columbus's discovery of the new
world. Catherine was betrothed when
a child to Prince Arthur, heir pre-
sumptive of the English throne, and
went through the form of marriage
with him when she was sixteen and
he was somewhat younger. She was
left virgin widow in England within
few months after the ceremony and
negotiations were at once set on foot
to marry her to her brother -in-law,
Henry. But the negotiations were de-
layed in the hope that better match
might be found for the eligible Prince
Henry, and for, six years Catherine
remained In England, not knowing
from week to week whether she would
be sent back to Spain or whether she
would be married to Henry. For the
first four and half years of her resi-
dence in England she was allowed
barely two dresses, although she had
brought very large dot, and her
maids were practically going around
in tatters.
With the death of Prince Henry's
father he was king and could do as
he chose, and the first thing on the
list was to make Catherine his wife.
He was at the time eighteen and she
was six years older. She was prob
ably not beautiful though she was
we'll built, inclined to plumpness and
of fair complexion and golden h ,ir.
She was of remarkably strong ply
sique, though she never cared for out
door sports. Hunting and riding she

INDUCED in only TO please her royal
husband.
For three years, until Catherine
was twenty-seven and Henry was
twenty-one, their life was a series
of fetes and pageants and apparent
devotion to each other. Then, until
her death, twenty-fodr years later,
she endured what very few women,
even those who are unfortunate
enough to be queens, have to endure.
Her husband and her father, both Of
whom she felt bound to love and
obey, were continually at odds, and
it must be said to Henry Wills
credit, that Ferdinand was the most
treacherous of fathers-in-law. Be-
sides Catherine failed to present her
husband with son strong enough to
survive infancy and he naturally
wanted a successor Therefore he.
decided to divorce his guiltless wife
and marry Anne Boleyn. 1t Is a mat
ter of history that Henry's inability
to get this divorce from the Pope
was the cause of his breaking off
from the Roman curia.
During the last days of GATHERINGS
life, when she was virtually pris-
oner, though still in the sight of her
religion, the queen of England, she
used to spend the greater part OF tno

Such was her dying message to

said that he shed few tears, but
the next day he appeared in the best

feather in his cap.

BUILDING AND LOAN IDEA

worked out its farm-Ioan plan, and
his plans have worked.
These associations pay members 5
per cent. on their deposits and charge
6 per cent. for loans. The / per cent.

may be too much for aught | know.
but the principle of cooperation in
farm loans is there-and that is all
there is in the Raiffeisen, the Schulze-
Delitsch, of the land banks of Europe
which we are setting out In Wash.
ington to copy.
The town building and loan associa.-
ton is run on the principle of a pay
ment every pay day. The farmer has
no pay day, and SO these Ohio land
banks require payments only every
six months. In practise the farmer
lets his loan run as long as he likes
If he pays the interest. He gets his
money without any commission or
other deduction when the loan is
made. He may take twenty years to
pay it off, and there is no falling due
of the note or renewal charges.
The Ohio Farmers Building and
Loan Associations are based on the
idea of paying off more rapidly than
is the rule in the associations OF the
European peasantry, and Sc per 500
semi-annually is the usual thing.
The students of European systems
have learned a new word-"amorti-
zation." This means a gradual pay
Inent of the debt. These building and
loan associations have been practising
Amortization" without knowing 1t.
Six dollars on every hundred paid
semi-annually "amortizes" the Ohio
debt in about twelve years. Four dol
lars semi annually will pay 1t off In
about forty years. Five-dollar pay
ments will do 1t In about twenty-five
years.
The rate OF interest in the German
land banks Is usually about per
cent But Mr.. Haymaker, of Defiance,
claims that the German farmer is not
so much better off than member OF
this American land bank as might APP
pear The German farmer has no out
let for his savings at 5 per cent. as
has the Ohio farmer. And when he
makes q loan he gives a note and
mortgage to the land bank, and gets,
not money, but bonds, which he must
sell. Usually he must sell In the open
market, and to the commercial bank
err, who will always take them Off his
hands at discount
Farm loan associations should be
organized only under proper regula-
lions. They should be purely CO.
operative-like the Baltimore associa-
ton mentioned. And the idea should
be advertised. Very few farm finance
writers have any knowledge Of this
successful system OF Ohio farm
finance.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Senator Carpenters Idea of Public Speaking

In the closing days of the session
of Congress which expired on March
d, 1881, / heard Senator Matt Carpen-
ter, of Wisconsin, speak on the floor
of the Senate. Not again did the
senator speak in that body. He was
then pallid with the organic disease
which, few weeks later, terminated
his life. That he was weak physical
ly was made apparent to the sena-
tors, for he leaned occasionally
against his desk as though to sup
port himself.
But his voice was unimpaired. 1t
was a voice which possessed sim
gularly sweet, fiute-like quality
Every tone had sort of yelvety or
smooth character, not unlike the
quality which distinguishes the great
singers. He spoke without effort, at
least as far as the use of his voice
was concerned. He used what is
called the conversational tone. But
he so employed it that every word
was distinctly heard in the galleries
He was speaking upon a resolution or
bill which related to the consular
courts which the government had es-
tablished in some of the far Eastern
countries. Ordinarily the subject
would have been of no interest to
any one but a lawyer. But Senator
Carpenter infused into his remarks
such animated description, without
the slightest apparent touch of
studied rhetoric and gave to the dry
subject such interest, that in addi-
ton to his personal charm and the
beauty of his voice every one in the
Senate chamber, senator's and visit
ors, sat entranced.
| was reminded while the Senator
was speaking of conversation which
l had with him about three years
earlier. 1t was one very hot summer
afternoon. The dog days were maxi

sweat box, for, in addition to the
intensity of the heat, the air was
charged with humidity.

Square when l saw Senator Carpenter,
whom 1 knew slightly, come from the
hotel across Broadway and, after
carefully selecting seat near the
fountain. slip into 1t in such a lam
guild manner as to indicate that he
was almost overcome by the weather.

Is efficiency fraud? We hesitate
to say yes but we do not hesitate to
say that the methods used by some
of the apostles of efficiency for it's
promotion are calculated to discredit
the whole efficiency movement.

Young Mr.. Easy Mark who reads

assured that of the scores of men

tie, all are now drawing high sala-
ries, one of them $4,000 a month, and
that this course OF twenty-four les

END OF THE WORLD

and a worthy theologian of Toulouse
constructed an ark.
In 1899 the end OF the world was
announced in France, and the widest
terror prevailed. Henry ~, who had
not been any too good a Protestant
and was no better as a Catholic,
laughed at this prediction. Then he
became serious and issued an edict
forbidding his subjects to talk about
anti-Christ and the last judgment
The latest prophet of any note was an
italian. monk of Padua, who died at
the age of ninety, a day or two after
the exaltation of Pope Leo XIII. He
left prophecy giving a list of the
popes, ten in number, who would
reign before the end of the world
should come. And these are the
names: First, the present Pope, Plus
X; then will come Paul vi, Plus XIX,
Gregory XVI. and so on, concluding
with Peter IL, who will occupy the
papal chair when the end comes. AS
popes reign an average of twelve
years each, the grim prophet only
allows century more of the world
and then all will be over. This
prophecy, however. has never been
accepted with anything like the seri-
BUSINESS with which 1t was given.

Predictions Of the end of the world
have been a source of terror to many
peoples through many centuries st.
Augustine, in the fourth century, con-
eeded only few years of respite to
the human species before the end of
time, says the Indianapolis News. In
the ninth century in several countries
of continental Europe the people be-
gan to make preparation for the des-
truction of the world, then prophesied
to be near at hand. They abandoned
their fields and their workshops and
threw themselves at the foot of the
altar; they gave their goods to the
churches and monasteries. The end
was to come with the beginning of
the thousandth year of the Christian
era. The fatal day came. But the
sun continued to shine in the vault of
the heaven, the stars remained in
their places and the people returned
to their customary pursuits. But the
prophets were not discouraged, and
Arnault de Villeneuve, a Frenchman,
fixed the date for the finish in 1896,
and again a. mistake had been made
in the direful horoscope. Next came
Johann Stoffer, a German astrologer,
who announced that the world would
be overwhelmed by a deluge in 1921,
