NIVFR CROMWELL, a PLAIN man

1899, no particular notice being taken
OF the event at the time outside OF. Ihe
family. He grew up into raW-DOheu'
double-fisted college student at cam

ed the midnight oil as too valuable 10

When Cromwell was 29 he went to
parliament as an insurgent. insurgency
was his hobby. He was also common
citizen to such an extent that he sub
united to a fine rather than be knlg1Ieu'

Charles I. junlled this venerable lnsIiIu-

front Of a company of troops and when
the civil war began, IN 1642, CromWeu
was IN the front rank where he made
things very unhealthy for the enemy:
The PUritans were much leered at by
the kings troops for their short hair,
plain clothes and general lack OF clear
starehed manners. But they had very
deft and persuasive manner with the
sword and the blunderbUs. When the
war was over the supply Of cavaliers
was very short while the king was IN
jail and the Puritan leaders roamed
through his palaces without seraping the
mud from their shoes.
When the war was over it was soon
seen that Cromwell was the only man
who was stiff enough in the neck and
back to govern England, and he accord
ingly became protector of England. He
was a bluff, shOrt-spOken man with a
red face and no manners, according to
those times and he waded through pre-
negatives and ceremonies in a manner
which made the nobility Of England
shrek with anguish. Charles was be-
headed and Cromwell ran the country
with the aid of parliament and an army
which wore no lace wristlets nor long
curls and which wanted no better diver
sion than to chase a duke up a tree or
kick a baron out of his castle and set
him to work saving wood.
Cromwell introduced many novel Gus
toms into England, such as observing
the Sabbath, religious liberation and gen
eral decency of morals. But he worked

Oregon's Trip Around South America
May Never be Repeated by BattIeship
THEN

q KITTEN years ago today the bat
~ tleship Oregon began the most
- remarkable long-d1stance race
against time IN all naval history.
On this date in 1893 it left San Fran
cisco to Join the warships in Atlantic
waters. There was an effort to sur
round the Oregon's movements with
secrecy, but everybody guessed her
mission and bets were made on the
success of the trip. Tension relaxed
for a time after the Oregon appeared
at Callao, Peru, her first stop, but
it became more acute as she steamed
southwark toward the straits of Ma
gellan, where a Spanish torpedo boat
lUrked and tempestuous seas made
the passing of the straits hazardous.
After SO days out of San Francisco
the Oregon dashed into the Atlantic
and up the coast, evading the Spanish
warships reported lying in wait for
her. On the evening Of May "a she
steamed into Jupiter bay, having
covered the $4,000 miles in 81 days.
The record trip made her commander,
the now rear admiral Charles Z.
Clark (retired) a national hero.

100 Years Ago Today

NNE hundred years ago today, fol-
lowing the breaking up of the
peace negotiations between
France and her enemies, Napoleon de-
cided that immediate and decisive action
was necessary if his tottering throne
was to be saved. He decided to with
draw from Paris, which was now threat
ened from every quarter. His plans
called for great movement towards
the north, which should enable him to
rally all his garrisons, and intercept the
many. With this object in view he re-
solved to attempt another blow at
prince Schwartzenberg, commanding one
of the largest Of the allied armies. Prince
Schwartzenberg had fallen back upon
Troyes, and in the vicinity of that place
Napoleon engaged him in battle the next
day.

She would need to refill her bunkers
