In his long fight of - hours and

waters that divide the British Isles
from the continent, Sullivan lost %

English pounds. The latter were given
TO him as a prize by the Daily Sketcl
n London newspaper, which offered the
purse several years ago for the first
man who duplicated the feats of Capt
Matthew Webb and 7. W. Burgess
The American was a sick man dur
ing almost every hour o. his long and
laborious battle with the waters. whose
restlessness has made millions of tray
elers in ships i'll. Sullivan swallowed
much salt water during the first foul
hours on the way TO the French shore
Sullivan lost his appetite wher

Scottish Order of the Thistle,

From the Kansas City Times.
The Scottish Order Of the Thistle.
though ranking in the British empire
second only after the Order of the
Garter, is nevertheless very much older
in date of creation. According to the
Scottish historian. John Lesley, when
Hungus. King OF the Picts. was attack
ed by Athelstan. King Of the West
Saxons he called to his assistance ACha-
ius, King of the Scots who Joined him
with ten thousand of his subjects. On
the eve OF the battle, the enemy endeav-
cred to surprise King Achaius and King
Hungus by creeping barefooted across
the approaches to their camp. Thistles
abounded there as elsewhere in Scotland
and the enemy, treading on these thistles
with their bare feet. and with their
naked legs torn by the thorns. could not
refrain from uttering howls of pain and
of dismay, with the result that the Picts
and the Scots were awakened in time
from their slumbers. and not only beat
back the enemy, but inflicted upon them
most signal defeat.
The Order of the Thistle is believed
by all good Scots to have been founded
to commemorate that battle and that
victory over the invader. 1t is restricted
exclusively TO Scottish peers. and TO
princes OF the reigning house by virtue
of their Stuart ancestry.
