The Coconino sun., 1920-12-17

In these modern days, when we have learned a great deal of the real way to dispense happiness to others, it is interesting to know of customs which prevailed century ago, when the more fortunate people in the old countries had not yet solved the prob lem of helping others in the least con spicuous manner. Their efforts were just as worthy as ours, but the gro tesque bequests are rather amusing to us. Much eccentricity but just as much generosity is shown in the strange charities of old England, some of which are continued in modified form, even until now.
 The story is told of vicar in Queen Elizabeth's day who left a sum of five shillings per annum with which to pay the ringers of his parish in
The Coconino sun., 1920-12-17

Worcestershire for ringing a peal for two hours on Christmas eve in com memoration of the Nativity.
 In Staffordshire there is an old be- quest providing plums for the Christ mas pudding of every poor family within a certain radius.
 For many years in Berkshire the vicar of the parish was the host of the day on Christmas. After evening ser vice the parishoners would go to the vicarage, where an entertainment was given and refreshments of bread, cheese and beer provided by the will of member of the parish who had always enjoyed the gatherings.
 A custom which had its origin in the will of two sisters caused quite lot of scrambling in a certain town in England. These two indigent la

walk about over while brand of pine was burning. Thinking his wife was so weakened by her long illness, he thought himself very clever in pro- viding such an arrangement. The doughty old lady surprised him by several acres-twenty-three to be exact; for once she got going she seemed endowed with new strength. She took to her bed again and before her death she called all her family to her side and pronounced a blessing upon them all so long as the charity was allowed to stand, and she left maledictions to the seventh genera tion for any who should ever discon- tinue her good work. The acres she had traversed produced nineteen hun dred loaves of bread for the poor. Of late years it has been deemed wise to sell the produce and give the breads equivalent in money.
 Two wills of similar ideas were left by two well-known men of Wales. Each directed that every Christmas number of prosperous men named in the will should purchase a stated num- Der of real wheat loaves, take them to the tombs of the one who made the will, and after a prayer, take them for distribution to the homes of the poor.

dies had received word that they should come to London to claim an estate. Being very poor, they set out on foot for their destination and when they were almost there, they were forced to ask for nourishment at this self same town. They were finely treated and reached London the next morning in time to successfully carry out their business engagement. They were so grateful for the help they had received at the little town that in their will they left codicil which provided for certain amount of bread, cheese and ale to be distributed from the church steps every Christmas eve. It was not long until there were near riots over the distribution, so that the town council changed the actual food to a fund which is distributed annu- ally to the needy people in the village.
 An amusing tale is told of the Lady Macella, wife of Sir Roger de Tich- borne, who had been i'll for some years. Realizing that she had not long to live, and knowing too the pe- nurious leanings of her liege lord, she asked him for small bequest, the privilege of leaving dole of bread to all who should ask for it annually. The crafty Sir Roger readily agreed, telling her that he would dedicate to her charity as much land as she could

The democratic press will have to
do a good bit Of whistling to keep up
a graveyard courage after the spec
tacle of the protracted San Francisco
convention, and the wordy platform
that is made up largely Of c~amouflage.
After the republican convention these
same democratic papers were full of
what the democrats were going to do
in presenting an outspoken platform
impossible to misinterpret, and if any
thing that platform is more OF a .dod-
ger than the one the republicans for
mulated. Even Billy Bryan, the brains
of the party, declares that platform to
be %"evasive on vital issues" and re-
pu%blicans cannot say anything much
worse.
