from thence you shall he drawn upon
"a hurdle through the open streets, TO

Sir Walter Raleigh besought the
Earl of Devonshlre and the lords to
seek out the King in his behalf. and
point out to him the place he bore in
His Majesty's time. and thereby to re-
quest him that the rigor of his judg-
ment might DO qualified and his death
honorable and not ignominious.
They promised that this would be
done. and Raleigh was carried again
TO the castle. When Sir Walter was
left to His Majestys mercy he thought
him too great malcontent to have
MS freedom and probably too innocent
to loso his life. Hc was therefore,
confined to the Tower and was per-
mitted TO enjoy the liberty OF custody,
and he employed his time in obtaining
learning and science of various kinda
1t was while thus confined that he pro-
duced his remarkable History of the
World"
AS tho Spanish demanded his pun
ishment following his fortunate Guinea
venture. already referred to, King
James was willing to sacrifice Raj
eigh to the advancement of peace with
Spain. When he arrived at Plymouth
Sir Lewis Stukely, vice-admirai of the
County of Devon. seized him and
brought him to London. He was first
placed in Westminster Hall and from
thence was carried to the Gatchousc
and the next morning to tho Parlia-
ment yard where he had the favor
of the az granted him"
All persons wondered how that old
sentence that had lain dormant for
sixteen years, could have been made
use of to take off Sir Walter Raleiyh's
head afterward. Raleigh's first ap-
pearance OH tho scaffold on the day
OF his execution, October 90, 1918, was
with smiling countenance, salutinG
the lords. knights and gentlemen with
others of his acquaintance who were
present. He made long speech before
he was executed. After having cx-
amined the AK with which he was to
have his head severed, he said: This
IS q sharp medicine, but 1t is 81 physI-
clan for all diseases" and when he was
asked which way he would lay his
head he replied: so the heart be
right. II is no matter which way the
head lieth." Thus died Queen Eliza
beth's favorite and tho scourgc and
terror of Spain.

RING FOR THEIR DINNER
Pet Swans Continue Practice Taught
Them Generations Ago.


Them Gencrations Ago.
During recent visit to the cathe-
dral city OF Wells, In Somersetshire, q
Scotsman correspondent was witness
Of curious incident. The Episcopal
Palace is surrounded Just as In old.n
times. by wall and moat, the haunt
OF swans. ducks and other aquatic
birds. The muat Is crossed at the en-
trance to the palace grounds by n
drawbridge with a oattlemented gate
way with towers IN one OF which is
the gatekeeper's lodge. From d
bracket fixed to The wall OF one OF
these towers overlooking the moat q
bell Is sustained. win a cord attached.
One afternoon about o'clock. while
watching tho movements OF tho vari-
ou5 birds In the WAGER, tho correspon-
h"hi heard the ringing OF bell, unI
on looking to see whence the sound
came, he observed that one Of the
swans was vigorously pulling the
cord. evidently to attract attention. AS
no Immediate notice was taken of its
efforts. the impatient bird continued
to ring the bell violently until there
appeared at the window OF the tower
the wife of the gatekceper. who threw
quantity OF food to the expectant
waite: fowl.
On making inquiries as to the origin
of this Interesting episode the CORE
spondent was told that a number of
years ago daughter of the Bishop OF
wells, being much interested In the
birds inhabiung the moat taught the
swans to ring the bell at feeding time,
at O'Clock in the afternoon. This
practice has been continued by sue
cessiv" families of swans down to the
present day and II would seem, there
fore, as If the birds transmitted to their
offspring tn knowledge that when the
cord was pulled the bell would ring
aud that food would follow.

New Indian Animal Stories
Why the Birds Sing in The Snrinetime
ny John u. oskison.

Long time ago there was thing
which made the little Indian boys and
girls wonder: why did tho birds sing
so much in the springtimo? Why
didn't they sing just as much In the
summer or in the autumn or the win
ter?
One day little girl went on asking
this question of her mother until her
mother called to her own very old
grandfather to come and satisfy the
little ones curiosity.
IF you don't tell this tiny one why
the birds sing In springt time, shall
have no sleep this night" said the
mother. So, the little ones great
grandfather led her slowly to seat
In the shade of Il tree beside the wide
river: and then he said TO her:
"ln the days before even l can re-
mcmber-even before my great grand
father WAS little one like you, oh I,
long before thut-there came on the
earth great flood. Out OF the East
the water came creeping and creeping;
IT rolled over the hills and flied up
the valleys: 1t rose high up Oh tho
mountainsides
"Of course, all the people and all OF
tho animals had TO leave the valleys
and the lower hills. SO that, after
awhile. they were gathered on the tops
OF the highest peaks. And when they
weio all together there, the Great Buzz
card. who came straight from tho
Great sky Doctor, who had made the
earth, got up and made a talk
The Great Buzzard told the ami
mails and the people that the water
would go on rising and rising until il
went over the tops of the mountains.
So the people began to build for them
selves canoes TO carry them on the
top of the flood.
Now. the birds could n.y. and SO
they didn't need to build canoes 70,

and round as the water came up and
hid the mountainous.
UP and UP went the water. until Il
seemed that II would rise square rp
against the sky. So high went tho
water that there wasn't room any more
between the water aud the sky for the
birds to NY around. Some OF them,
IKE the woodpecker and The humniinE-
bird. hung on TO the sky by their
strong bills. and you may know how,

the woodpecker as he hung from the

pie anu The animals that were In tho
canoes could stand up and strotch

Buzzard tina; therc was only one way

'All the birds must begin to siu,-
Just as fast and as loud ms they cam.
, said the Great Sky Doctor. And when
the Great Buzzard told this to tho
| BIRDS they at once began To sing. Even
the woodpecker let go his hJ4d OH the
Sky long enough TO sing.
Sure enough, IS the birds sang, the
water fell lower and lower; and after
/ Tho sun had gone down and como up
sixty times. the mountains and the
hills and tie high plains were uncov-
cred. and the water was only in tho
rivers and in the very low places-as
sou see 1t o-day.
Ever since that time when the
rains begin to fall in the early spring
time. and when the SHOWS begin To
melt and the floods come racing down
from tho mountains. all the birds In
the world that can sing at all begin:
and that is why there has never been
another great Hood"

Trial Of Sir Walter Raleigh.

Sir Walter Raleigh the eminent Eng
llsf explorer and author, was seve. al
times imprisoned the first time be.
ing when he was accused and found
guilty OF conspiring to raise Lady Ara
bella stuart To the throne, The trial
upon this charge took place in 1903
and ended in his being condemned to
death at Winchester. November IL
1908. Following This trial he was kept
for thirteen years confined in the
Tower. but finally recovered his Ii
herty. but not his pardon through the
influence OF VillIers. James l.. who had
been responsible for his imprisonment
gave him an admirals commissioner and
he sailed with his fleet for the discov-
cry of his promised Ell Dorado, in
Guinea, but as his expedition was q
FAILURE, and the English government
beng on friendly terms with Spain and
Raleigh having offended that nation
by his conduct in Guinea. II was dccid-
ed by the judges that the sentence OF
death pronounced in 1868 was still wall
id. he was executed in the palace yard
at Westminster on October 30, 1918.
When Raleigh was arraigncd for
trial in 1903. tho Indictment read
against him was that 'he did conspire
and go about to deprive the King of
his government; To raise up sedItion
within the realm: 10 alter religion; to
bring In the Roman superstition. and
TO procure foreign enemies to invade
tho kingdom"
To this Indictment Raleigh pleaded
not guilty. The Trial was long drawn
out. and fortunate for history /, has
been preserved almost in its entirety
Raleigh had been committed to the
tower on July 10, 1903. and il was not
until November before tho indict-
ments were all ready for his prosecu-
ton. From the very start the trial at
Winchester was conducted with such
outrageous unfairness as to shock even
the opinion of the time, and his gal
liant bearing, even in face of the bru-
tally of the attorney general, Sir Ed
ward Coke, turned public opinion in
his favor. That Raleigh was cogniz-
ant of the consplracies against the
government appears probably by the
testimony, though the evidence pro-
duced against him was insufficient to
prove his guilt Much was kept back
BY the council, and the jury was in
liuenced by knowing that the council
thought him guilty.
Tho jury that sat In judgment at
the trial was only out a quarter OF an
hour before they returned n verdict of
guilty" Thereupon the Lord Chief
Justice read the following 'justment:"
But since you have been found
guilty OF these horrible trcasons, the

DC YOU HAPPEN
TO BE TOO FAT

There are people who 90 not cat too
much, who do not even eat enough,
and yet have a tendency to store up in
tho form OF fat the food which should
be turued to account in producing
energy. This tendency is hereditary
Slore than half the fat people are fat
because the character runs IN the fam
lily.
They cannot help it, but they can
certainly limit the degree by appro-
pirate measures.
Causes Numerous.
Besides heredity there are other pre-
dlsnosinE causes and IL Will TO seen
that some of them are under our con-
troll
Then scdontary occupations, the love
OF luxury and Incidence. and a very
phlegmatic temperament favor the de-
velopment OF fat.
Age has great influence. People
SELDOM become unduly fat before the
age of forty. And sex also has some
thing TO do with the matter. for wom-
en- arc far more frequently fat than
men. To avoid all this II is conse.
quently necessary To take precautions
At early middle ufe approaches. and
these arc especially necessary for
women.
From the Age of Thirty.
The preventive measures consist in
limitation Of food from the age OF
thirty years onward. Sugar and
starchy foods tpotators bread, rice
etc) must be eaten moderately So
must butter and other fats. Alcohol
especially beer. must be avoided. Salt
Should he used sparinply and liquids
should be taken between meals, never
at them
II q woman Is accustomed 10 active
exercise she should continue II. and if
she Is not accustomed 10 IL she should
begin. There Is no reason why any
healthy woman shall not play tennis
and golf, cycle and take part IN. other
sports well into late middle life
The Cold Hnih.
Cold baths are of great service, but
after the ase of thirty-fve they must
be taken only with the approval of
the doctor. Turkish baths are also
useful. but here again 1t is we'll TO have
medical advice.
Suppose. however, person IS ar.
rived at the threatening ago ana is ac-
tuaily fat, what can she do?
II should be remembered that q lat
person is often weak person. and In
certain cases stG heart may be very
weak JudicrotAr treatment is there

son needs is stimulation of the ener-
GIGS The hrst measure is TO reEula L.
