HENRY FOURTH OF GERMANY
Kings Troubles in Helping to Rule the
World Included Much Suffering
and Humiliation.

OF all the wrangling monarchs who
had a part in running the world during
the infancy of government none was
more picturesque than Henry " of
Germany. And he suffered perhaps
the greatest humiliation that ever was
visited upon king, writes a historian.
Gregory VII became pope in the sew
enth decade of the eleventh century.
The election did not please Henry in
the least. Under the pilfered title Of
Roman king he claimed share in pa
pal affairs and did not propose to be
treated lightly. But Gregory persuad-
ed him to confirm his elevation. Then
dissension broke out between the two,
and Henry's partisans unsented the
pope, who retired to Canossa, in the
Apennines.
Gregory retaliated on Henry by
welding that most powerful weapon
of the church-excommun This
casting out of the faith was the most
feared of all fates in ancient days, and
even Henrys close advisers fell away
from him. The king faced the storm
bravely enough, but things went
against him and he decided to pro-
pitiate Gregory. So, in the midst of
winter he crossed the Alps, truly pro-
digious undertaking in those times, and
presented himself before the castle
where Gregory was staying, asking au-
dience. At first Gregory refused, but
then consented on condition that Hen
ry dismiss all his attendants and enter
alone. The German complied and
quilted his suite to go inside the walls.
Further on he came to second gate,
where he was told that the pope had
ordered him divested of all his regal
ornaments and clothing before proceed
ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and
received in exchange coarse woolen
tunic. Wearing this, he passed through
the gate, thinking his troubles over.
But there remained last gate and a
final trial. For three days and nights
he was kept standing outside the gate
in severe weather, fasting from morn
ing until night. At the end of that.
time Gregory finally had the king
ushered before him and agreed to lift
the ban If Henry would consent to a
truce between them, made distinctly
on the pope's terms. To this Henry
agreed and was restored to the church.
He left soon after, nursing his hatred
for Gregory and determined to square
accounts. This led to the pope nomi-
mating another prince for Henry's
throne and to endless warfare. The
king was communicated second
time and continued under the ban most
of his troublous life. There have been
few instances of monarch undergo
ing any such humiliation as that he eX-
perienced, standing outside the pope's
door for three days in freezing weather.

evergreen subjects of dispute which de-
light the soul of individuals whose Joy
it is to write letters to the press, OBJ
serves British exchange. Probably
there will also be conflicting evidences
on the question, but the common Opin-
ion now is that Henry Carey, who died
in October, 1743, was the author. At
any rate, Carey sang the song as his
own composition at a dinner party in
Cornhlil, while shortly afterwards he
approached publisher with the manu-

people began an appraisal Of the lat

remaining domain to see If by cultlva-
ton they could compensate for their
territorial losses. Col. e. Dalgas an
engineer officer of the Danish army,
was the leading spirit in the Organlza-

the peninsula, movement which Is

Mountain frs were first planted and
these were succeeded by red spruce
from America. These trees serve as q

500 square miles of heath having been
redeemed by afforestation. Oats, bar
