On October Ia, 1865, Was Fought the Battle that Ma
World History, "The Battle of Hastings

that year Saxon Harold was the King of
England. Far to the northward he had
made newmarch to meet the King Hardrada
and his men of Norway. His traitor
brother, Tostig, too, had sided with the foe.
And when his mothers son despatched a
messenger to know what lands he might
possess if that he changed again to Harold,
the King sent back reply in these rude
words: But seven feet of English earth
for grave; not morel" And next day in
the battle persisted King Hardrada, and
Tostig, and all their men. Then went
King Harold down to York and held high
wassail with his mobiles. And in the very
midst of this carousal came tidings of Duke
William with all his knights and men-at-
arms at Hastings by the sea. So Harold
quilted York and marched by day and night
until he came unto the high hill-lands of
Senlac, o'ertopping Hastings, and there
set up the golden orihamme Of Eng
land.

And Norman William moved to meet him
with his fifty thousand men. For Harold,
with his lesser host, would not come down.
From nine by morning sun till three hours
after tide of noon went on the battle. And
to and fro the English and up and back
again, the Normans-like to opposing cur
rents of contrary seas. Was heard great
din and noise of shout, with clang and
clash of huge two-handed sword on shield;
of lance and battle-ax and mace and bill.
And in the throng and press of battle came
up Norman Knight and smote King
Harold hard upon the ventail of his he'll
met, so that he fell and rose no more.
And when the Normans took the golden
standard of the stricken king, as right
soon afterward they did-the English saw
no longer any hope-and left the field and
fled who could.
And thus the Normans won the fight at Hast
ings. And at the feast of Christmastide

On summers morning in fair Normandy,
now highest to thousand years ago,
tanners daughter went far into the forest
plucking flowers and singing by the way.
Happened that Duke Robert likewise went
a-hunting that eventful day and spied
Arletta's pretty feet twinklng in the
brookshine. Straightway he fell in love,
and for all her bushes, sat her on his
steed and bore her to his castle.
Duke William was their son, and he became,
in mans estate, the King of Merre Eng
land And now the blood of George,
fifth of that name to sit an English
throne, pricks just little hercer and
more fast, because high-mettled with the
ruddy drops, rutilant in his Hanoverian
veins, from fair Arletta and her viking
fathered Robert.
Came bright October day, in Christian calen-
dar, year thousand-sixty-six, and saw for
gathered on the Sussex sands a vast
array of Norman knights and men-at-arms.

Community Mausoleum'

The bodies of the rich and ia
nous are frequently placed in pri-
vate or public "Mausoleums. "
Generally speaking, burial in a pri-
vate mausoleum is expensive. For
this reason Community Mauso-
leums", are being built, in many
places throughout the country, in
order that people of ordinary means
can have the same form of burial
as that accorded the rich and fa-
nous. This is in keeping with the
spirit of the age and the Progress
of the times. This form of burial
is first of all, humane and sanitary.
1t is also loving and tender dis
position, of the bodies of our loved
ones. 1t moreover demonstrates a
thoughtful care for the health of
the living.
Years ago: Sir Henry Thomp-
son" of England, denounced the
graveyards and said: No dead
body is ever placed in the. ground
without polluting the earth, the
air and the water above and below
it," The time is surely coming
when cemeteries will no longer be
permitted to exist in the neighbor-
hood of thickly settled commune
es. The Community Mausoleum'
at Perrysburg answers completely
the demand for a safe, sane and
sanitary form of burial.
There are a few choice crypts YET
to be taken. 1t would be wise tc
make your arrangements NOW
