The Crowns of
England and
King Alfred
By soMERvILLE GIBNEY.

The first of the English crowns of
which we have any very definite or
interesting record is that of Alfred
the Great In the inventory of the
regalia it is described as Of gould
wyerworke sett with slight stones and
two little bells"
The little bells sound curious, but
that is no reason why they were not
used in the decoration and. to my
mind, there is further evidence in
their favor to be found in the costume
Of the Court Jester. This official was
part and parcel Of the court and used
to parody and burlesque the monarch
for the amusement of him and those
about him; his staff with the bladder
attached was a mockery of the scep-
tre. and in many instances we find his
long-eared headdress terminating in
little bells. Might not these have been
suggested by those on the crown of
King Alfred-the crown Of England for
many centuries?
This crown was the one with which
most of the Kings Of England were
crowned down to the time of the Res
toration, when it was no longer avail
able
But while King Alfred's crown was
in existence. the Kings of England
had other crowns. workaday crowns.
for they wore them far more often
than is the custom in later times, and

LQHN WANAMAkER.

W~ananaker began his business life az
a clerk in a small dry goods store. BY
thrift and economy he was able to save
a part Of his earnings. In 1851 he started
in business with mis- brother-in-law with
a combined capital Of $500. h first
thing he did was to hire the best sales
mar in town at a salary Of s1,30e a year
nearly a third OF his entire capital. His
next step was to spend the entire receipts
of the first days sales for an advertise
ment for the next days business. These
are radical methods but, combined with
MT. Wanamaker's personality, have won
for him great success.
It is said of his early business life that
many of MS customers were country folk,
whose trade and friendship he valued
very highly. It was his custom to I'LL
his pockets with chestnuts, ard slipping
some Of them into the hands Of his Gus
toners. he would take them about the
store, munching chestnuts as they went.
Mr.. Wanamaker is now one OF the great
est Of American merchants. A few years
ago he moved into a building built espe-
cfaIly for him. It is fifteen stories high;
covers three acres and has l,i5o,VVe
square feet Of floor space.
