Poor Charities.

There are charity societies. as all
the world knows. that only give to the
poor quarter or half cent of every
dollar they take in, most of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to off,
GERS and Investigators for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert
Of Denver, Colo, was condemning
these charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back is too
new and fashionable, George. to give
away?'
It's the agent Of the Alpha Incor-

History Little Known.
The early history of Westminster is
interesting, but unfortunately we know
little certain about it. Sebert and the
associations OF the ancient kings with
the place are rather shadowy. and we
have little to build upon before Ed
ward the Confessor. When the Nor
mans settled in England there were
the two palaces. one at the Tower and
the other at Westminster. William
Rufus built his great hall on to the
Saxon palace and New Palace Yard"
came into. being. The adjective new"
forms a deceptive designation In many
cases. but seldom SO much SO as in
this name. The history Of Westmins
ter hall is OF interest from Its begin.
ming. but in its completeness 1t dates
from the last years OF that unfortunate
king, Richard H., who ordered the con-
struction of the noble roof, and con-
sidered this as the greatest work OF
his reign. The original hall was vast
ly different from that now existing and
consisted OF nave and two aisles. AT
Pentecost april 10). 1899. William ii.
held his court for the first year In his
new building at Westminster. In the
following year he was shot in the New
Forest. Westminster hall was the
principal seat OF the Aula Regia or
Curia Regis. which also accompanied
the king on his travels. Henry II. ID
said to have attended personally in his
court. as did later kings until James
l. interfered so far as to need Sir Ed
ward Coke's caution that he was not
competent to decide questions Of law" +"
On New Years day. 1885. the occa-
sion of Queen :. Eleanor's coronation
and the entry into London Of Henry
III. and his queen. the king caused
5000 poor men,. women and children
to be entertained in the hall and In
other rooms Of the palace. One Of the
first great public events in the history
Of the hall was the trial Of Sir Will
lam Wallace In 1905. He was taken
there on August % on horseback and
placed on scaffold at the south end
with laurel crown on his head In
mockery OF what was said to have
been his boast that he would wear a
crown in that hall.
