It Is told of Oliver Cromwell, the
English leader and soldier that he
had q great love of fun, which he
would indulge often at the expense OF
others, according to the impulse OF
the moment An example Of this trait
Is shown in the following incident.
Cromwell had a very beautiful daugh-
ter, and at the time he came into
power in England one of his attend
ants took q fancy to this young lady
One day Cromwell went into his
daughters room and was surprised TO
see his page on his knees making O
declaration of his love to his daughte<.
What does this mean?" demanded
Cromwell.
MAY it please your worship STAN
mered the frightened page, Il am in
love with yonder waiting maid

and destructive animal the fox was
before his death, he begs for smau
gift Of money.
The custom Is very ancient ana ls
called in many parts of England, beg

especially In nominating districts, are
one of the farmers greatest enemies,
and the knowledge that one of these
| creatures has been destroyed-espe
cially the female fox-is indeed good
| news to the farmer. AS conse
quence, should any poor cottager Dc
| fortunate enough either to shoot or e
| trap a fox he carries his victim fol
miles round the countryside and dis
plays 1t.
He expects Q reward from eacf
farmer he visits and Is very seldom
disappointed. The gifts vary from
sixpence to as much as shillings, an
one day on the road ''hegging the fox
can easily yield the lucky laborer / o
pounds.
The skin is also, of course, his oW7
property, and for this he can some
times secure as much as . shilling
in the market of the nearest town.

FOLLOW QUEER OLD CUSTOM
Good Friday Ceremonies That Have
Foundations in Charity Are Still
Maintained In London.

One of the queerest customs to De
seen in the queer old city of London
is observed on morning of Good Fri
day, when 81 widows of the PARISH
pick up as many bright silver six
pences. fresh from the mint, from
fiat tombstone in the churchyard ana
receive as many hot-cross buns.
Rahere, the founder Of st. Bartholo-
news, away back in the Twelfth cen
tury who is credited with having been
a merry jester in his unregenerate
days, may have laughed at the con
tinuance of q custom the origin OF
which nobody understands, not even
| the generous-hearted gentleman VINO
| hands out the sixpence and the buns
or the thankful ladies who receive
| them.
The custom is "ropt in misty" as
Mr.. Yellowplush would say, but it goes
! on wear by year. One story is tnat
lady who passed away in the earlier
wears Of the Reformation, anxious tha'
masses should be said for her, an(
knowing they could not be said pun
licly. left money for that purpose Z
be distributed every Good Friday. Sh
hoDed that the poor widows, as the
picked up thessixpences from hertomc
stone would offer silent prayer O
her behalf.
