"VAMPS" WHO

"A leaving the conquered country 10
his lieutenants, Edward III returned 10
England toward the close of the -Four
teenth century, the most powerful mon
arch which the nalIon had ever known.
He had been long at the wars and was
determined to let younger shoulders
carry the burden. His mind was bent
upon recreation, the rest and plenty
so hardly won. His eye fell upon Alice
Perrers. She probably was a servant
about the palace, and was neither pref
ty nor talented. But she had a fiat
tering tongue and the will which moves
even walls. SO ii was not long until
her name began to be linked with that
of Edward. Then his wife died, the
good Queen Philippa. Immediately
Alice Perrers came into the full meas
ure of her power.
This woma had one ruling passion

der her domination. She persuaded
him to give her estates in II counties.
many of them wrung from their right
full owners. She had herself appointed
as 'guardian' to wealthy orphans and
rifled their property. Court offices
were sold through her. She undertook
TO dictate ever in the law courts, and
actually sat upon the bench with crown
judges to see that they decided In the
way she sought.
The people groaned and a party be-
gan to gather around the Black Prince.

from the wars abroad. In an unwise

his dotage, was forced to give up Alice.

more powerful than ever.
At this juncture she hit upon the
idea of ~cornering certain imported
Injuries, working through a merchant.
The volume of m vas compar-
atively small at that time. 1t was an
easy matter to carry out her plans.
So Alice became England's first profit
eer and gained new wealth. The king
was feeble and frequently near death,
but Alice tenderly administered to him
and by the very force of her own spirit
kept him alive. In every direction she
levied new exactions and the people
were afraid to act. Scandal coupled
her name with that of several men,
but Edward would not believe her I'M
faithful. How far she might have gone
it would be impossible to say had not
the kings failing health reached a
crisis.
At last, when Alice saw that her
time had III its course, she left Ed
ward to die alone. But not until she
had removed the rings from the fin
gers of this king, whose deeds had re-
sounded through all the world, only to
become the prey of a servant girl who
was not even pretty.

BROADWAY SHOWS PROVE
POPULAR ATTRACTION.

Despite unfayorable weather condi-
tons prevalent last week, which tend
ed to keep down the attendance, the
business done by Clark's Broadway
Shows, under the auspices of the Am
erican Legion, was better than had
been expected and the crowd Satur-
day night was the largest that has
ever attended a similar attraction.
The class of shows presented are far
above what has ever been seen in this
vicinity, proof of which was attested
by the capacity business done by all,
a trip through the grounds brings
forth the fact that a great deal of
capital is invested in this organiza-
ton to present good clean amusement
for old and young alike, and every
thing on the grounds tends to show
that this show has gotten away from
the old-time ideas of which the public
has grown tired, and is the first to
ever show here that has, by its clean
illness and straight forward business
methods, been requested to remain
over for another week. From the in
terest awakened during the past week
ii will, no doubt, do big business the
balance of this week.
The Wallace Side Show is well
worth a visit by all, as a regular minia-
ture circus performance lasting near
ly a hour, is presented and is some
thing new here. Down the midway
one imagines they are in the Far West
as they axe on the array of cowboys
and cowgirls assembled 1t Rinchart's
Wild West Show. One show that has
set them all talking is the Rose Bud
Minstrels, a company of twenty col
ored fun-makers with a jazz band that
is a hummer. The feature show on
the lot is the great Horace Goldin
Mystery Act, Saving a Woman in
Half" where a young lady is placed
in a cabinet which is apparently
sawed in two.
