TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

$50 Years Ago Today-Last great
battle was fought on English soil. Best
blood of the houses of York and Ian
caster was spilled in the decisive en-
gagement at Stoke that concluded the
struggle for the throne called the
War of the Roses. The red rose of
Lancaster won, but the House of Tu-
dor held the crown of England thence
forth.
The throne went to Henry VII,
father of ill-famed Henry VIII, be-
cause he happened to be the great
grandson of the 4th son of a king who
had ruled $50 years before. Upon such
slivers from family trees did the fates
of nations rest in "the good old days"

experiences described in the novel, he

slavery and settle in Canada. There
he became a rebel! He captained a
company of colored men in the Ca
madam uprising. Nevertheless, years
later he was entertained by Queen
Victoria at Windsor Castle.
