GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Terhunm

HENRY VIII AND ANNE BOLEYN

(Caprrtcbt, sj tka Aatfcor.) A girl who was so beautiful that people overlooked the deformity of her harinc two thumbs oa each hand changed the religion and history of England by means of a silly flirtation. The girl with the double set of thumbs was Anne Boleyn,. daughter of a sixteenth century politician. The man with whom she undertook to flirt was his (more .or less) gracious majesty King Henry VIII. of England. Henry was great-grandson of Owen Tudor. He found England a thirdrate European power. By his personal genius and statecraft he made it one of the foremost nations of the earth. As a mere boy he had been married, for reasons of state, to bis elder brother's widow, Catherine of Aragon. She was many years older than be, and was an invalid and of a melancholy, pious nature. Henry was athletic. Jolly and not much given to piety. There was nothing about such a woman as Catherine to interest him. Moreover, they had no living children except one sickly daughter, Mary. And Henry longed for a son to carry on his fame. Yet he would probably have remained trwe to Catherine to the end of her days if he bad not chanced to meet Anne Boleyn. . Anne was one of V1- Catherine's maids "Maid of Honor." of honoP She managed to attract Henry's attention and started a 'violent flirtation with him. That she at first dared expect the affair to go further is doubtful. But Henry, who hitherto had paid little heed to such temptations, fell violently in love with her. She had the beauty, youth and gayety his wife

lacked. Anne quite easily won him from the poor, gentle old queen. The latter had no charms wherewith te combat the younger woman's art As soon as she saw Henry was seriously Interested In her Anne set all her wits to work to make herself queen. The upshot of the matter was that Henry decided to get rid of Catherine of Aragon. But this was not easily done. The Catholic eharch did not recognise divorce. Moreover, Catherine's nephew, Charles V. of Germany, waa too powerful a sovereign for the pope to offend. Henry solved the problem by wrenching England away from its Catholic allegiance 'and proclaiming himself the head of the English church. In this new capacity he arranged that the marriage with his brother's widow be pronounced null and void. Then, freed from Catherine, he at once married Anne. The wedding occurred early in 1583. Anne, who had earlier received

irom me aing un uvn 01 couowu 01 Pembroke, was solemnly crowned queen of England. ( Her ambition was at last gratified. 8he had turned Henry's heart from

herself to the highest position in the land. Incidentally, she had changed England's creed, and In so doing started an almost endless chain of religious persecution, murders, executions,, etc. Not that this troubled her at all. For three years she and Henry governed England together. They had one daughter, Elizabeth, who was destined one day to become her country's greatest queen. Anne herself showed little gift for ruling. At the end of three years Henry's fickle fancy wandered from Anne to one of her young maids of honor, Jane

Seymour. Here retribution set in. Anne was made to pay bitterly for her past misdeeds. As she, while maid of honor, bad stolen Henry's love from his first wife, so now the younger, prettier Jane Seymour won Henry

methods. Henry, Infatuated with Jane, discovered he was heartily tired of Anne. Those double thumbs at last began to outweigh her good looks. He sought some plausible way to get rid of her. Courtiers helped him out by trumping up accusations against Anna. Among other crimes she was accused of treason. There is no reason for believing her guilty on any of the

charges. But she, was condemned to death. Plucky to

the last, she wrote mockingly to the king, thanking him for all be had done for her, and ending with the words: "You made me a marchioness, then a queen. And as you can raise me no higher in the world,, you are now sending me to be a saint In heaven." Whether or not she was accurate in this prophecy as to her destination, she was beheaded on May 19, 15S6. Henry took great credit to himself for mercifully allowing her to be thus executed, instead of burning her at the take. The next day he married Jane Seymour. Jane did not live'" long to enjoy her triumph. After she died Henry married in quick succession three more wives. His good luck, bis health, his personalitysome think even bis sanity as well had deserted him from the day he cast aside Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn.

One Queen's Punishment.

At the Paris American Hospital

A Free Bed Charity Has Been Established for Yankee Stu dents Queer Sights at Public Auction House-

(By La Voyageuse) Paris, Jan. 1 One of the most timely and at the same time practical charities, of particular interest to American women who may become ill in Paris, is that wMch has Just been announced in the establishment of a free bed for undents in the new American hospital here. Under the patronage of a number of the best knon women of the American colony, a fair was held at which various useful articles were sold and refreshments offered, resulting in the receipt of a reasonably lame sum with which to endow the bed. What a blessing this will prove to the American girl or woman comparatively friendless, alone, and with but little means, in Paris cannot be overestimated, for scarcely a week passes that the case of a worthy, but helplp.33 American woman is brought to the attention of members of the American Colony, with the object of giving aid to such sufferers. Queer sights, indeed, are to be sena at the public auction house which by the way is one of the sights of Paris, when the effects c the famous Hoti Drouot. are to be sold at public auction. The law of France provides, that tho personal and household effects of a deceased person may be sold at public auction, and it was for this reasc.i that the effects of the late Sibyl Sanderson, the well known singer, were disposed of in that way. The wigs she used in various theatrical parts numbered into the hundreds, while the

collection of boots, shoes and slippers

almost filled a small room.

The leading dressmaking establishments of Paris at present may be not inaptly described as in the chrysalis

state. The styles for next spring and summer are being completed, notwithstanding the fact tli at women of fash

ion are at this moment wrapping

themselves up in fur garments and about the middle cf January will be shown to the comparatively favored few, among whom, I am glad to say. I am numbered. The public at large, however, will not be given an opportunity to see what is to be worn until about the latter part of February.

And as far as headgear is concerned,

toques, or rather turbans, continue to

lead, for the moment. Immense things they are too fur or velvet bring the favorite material used. So huge are they that they cover not alone the entire head, but the ears as

well.

As far as velvet is concerned, one may choose whichever color best suits the fancy, but bright green is very popular. Equally bright, red and also purple, in all its variety of these

colore are becoming, especially when worn with one of the large mesh b!a k veils, but which must have no dots, a

fashion which is infinitely less tryin on the eyes and far prettier in fact.

No rose without a thorn. The pub

lie of the French metropolis is hav

ing its troubles with its subway rail road, or "metro," as it is called here.

From far down on the Rue de Rivoli

and along the Champs Elysees to the

Etoile may be heard the underground

rumble of the subway trains, whil" carrying the pubHc swiftly from one part of the city to the other, is proving

to be such a nuisance to the people

above ground and occupying houses along its route, that many of them are

moving, even from handsome and up-to-date apartment houses and prlvare

residences, and taking new quarters

away from the racket and disquieting sounds. Many prefer going to the country, with its comparative inaccessibility, rather than to lose sleep and

rest as a result of the disturbance. Near the Bound' Alexandre is a mag

nificent residence or "hotel" as they are often termed in France, which has

been for sale at a sacrifice for man: months, but for vhich no buyer can

be found, for the reason that the sub way trains to Versailles and its envi

rons, runs directly beneath the structure, the reverberation being almost

unendurable. Attempts have been made to sell the property to some rich American in the l ope that he would not object to the noise, or possibly would not realize the detriment to the property caused by the subterranean racket, but without success for the American, who is shrewd enough to

have gained sufficient money to en

able him to purchase such property at the price demanded, is a wise enough business man, not to be inveigled iuco

making such an investment.

Richmond " District L. K. M. Co. tegular meeting Monday evening, fan. 3rd. at 8 N. 7th; 7:30 p. m. Mt

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1. Analysis of the petroleum found on the San Fernando property shows it to be of excellent quality. The oil is 92 per cent pure, with a specific gravity of 32. Its base is similar to that of the oil taken from the Coicicana field. There is no sediment in it, and a practical oil man has pronounced the fluid of the highest quality, and much better than that found at Beaumont. The well in which the oil is found is not a gusher, and seems to lie in the center of a stratum which has given up traces of oil for some time during the sinking of artesian wells on Its boundaries. Investigation by a geological expert has shown that the main oil-bearing stratum had not yet been reached when the oil was found. While no gusher is expected, drilling will be continued in the hope that a large supply will be struck.

A Clam That Pearl Divers Fear. All sorts of superstitions prevail among the pearl fishers of Ceylon, and a large business is done by sorcerers who sell charme to restrain the appetite of the sharks and to drive away the diabolical stingrays. Another peril which the diver dreads more than either stingray or shark Is the giant clam, that weighs nearly half a ton when full grown. It will snap off a man's legs like pipestems If the victim chances to thrust a limb between its open jaws, or, at all events, will hold him until he drowns miserably.

Balanced. "Of course." said the very talkative person on the back platform, "no man ever is a hero to his valet." "And what is much more to the purpose," said the sour faced individual in the doorway, "no woman ever was a saint to her hired girl." Exchange.

MAY REFUND A FINE

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1. Will the Pierce Oil company bring suit for the recovery of the million dollar fine it paid recently? This is a question asked by many as the result of the recent acquittal of Henry Clay Pierce of the perjury charge on which the imposition of the fine was largely based. Dur

ing the trial of Mr. Pierce it was shown

that the perjury charges were not well based, although the case was finally dismissed because the affidavits on

which the charges lested had been ob

tained in another state. Since then a number of Texas newspapers have drawn attention to the fact that the

close relations of the civil and criminal

suits in the matter establish the pos

sibility that the big fine was imposed unjustly. Several editorials have gone so far as to advise restitution of

the fine in order to save the logic of

the law, arguing that, if the perjury charges could not be sustained by the

court or tried in Texas, conditions

emanating therefrom would of necessi ty share the same defect.

While it is not known here whether the Pierce Oil company interests have taken, or intend to take steps in the

matter, local lawyers are nevertheless of the opinion that a suit for the recovery of the fine may be heard ultimately.

The Cocoa Bean. The cocoa is a native of Venezuela. It is a pod bean the size of the first joint of the finger, six or eight of these beans to the pod The wet beans are shelled from the pods and then fermented in heaps for six days until cured. During this ferment heat is developed that will cook an egg, so they say. The cocoa bush begins bearing at five years, grows into a tree thirty feet high, and, like the olive, the older the tree the better. The beans hang from the trunk and the under side of the limbs, sticking out on stems.

Threats of Death Were Received

Letters, Taking Exception to Secondary Position for "Yankee Doodle" Cause Musical Librarian Much Worry.

Washington, D. C, Jan. 1. "Is 'Dixie more popular than 'Yankee Doodle'?" That is the question which has apparently divided the country into two camps and brought about a controversy which promises to become second only to the recent great question of the day. "Who discovered the north pole?" The innocent assertion of Otto G. T. Sonneck, chief of the division of music of the library of congress in a publication on American national songs, that 'Dixie' was more prominent in patriotic popularity than 'Yankee Doodle, has stirred up a hornets' nest and even resulted in threats of death to Sonneck. His office in the congressional library has been swamped with letters from various parts of the conntry in which the writers take exception to the statement about 'Dixie." ' Some of these letters threaten Sonneck with dire punishment. Because the letters have been so unpleasant to him and so numerous, Sonneck: has requested the suppression of farther mention in the newspapers of his work on American national songs. "Yankee Doodle's" popularity summed up in 1826 was:, "Yankee Doodle is the tune - ; Americana deliaht In J . - .

Twill do to whistle, sing or play, And just the thing for fighting." Speaking in his work of "Yankee Doodle," Sonneck says: "For 150 years 'Yankee Doodle' has appealed to our people, and the tune shows no sign of passing into oblivion. "Surely, a tune of such vitality must have some redeeming features. This remarks is directed against those who have ridiculed the musical merits of 'Yankee Doodle,' or treated it with contempt It frankly appeals to our sense of humor.- Critics, pedantic or flippant, have overlooked the fact that every nation has its humorous, even burlesque, patriotic airs and that these are just as natural and useful as solemn airs indeed more so occasionally. As a specimen of burlesque even 'slangy, musical humor 'Yankee Doodle' may safely hold its own against any other patriotic air."

RACING PIGEONS.

Their Wonderful Speed and Mysterieu Homing Instinct. Racing pigeons are the fleetest of all creatures. They have maintained a speed of a mile and a half a minute for a hundred miles, according to a writer in Collier's, and they have flown TOO miles between the rising and the setting of the sun. Pigeons nave flown a thousand miles back to the home loft. In 1904 a bird covered that distance in 5 days 2 hours 15 minutes, proving bow unerring is the mysterious homing instinct that will drive pigeons across the continent witbont swerving. But this test Is not true snort. The birds simply hurl themselves against time and space till they are played out. They can never race again. The racer rises into the air with heavy, slow wing pulsations; .then, once poised over the starting point, there is a swifter, shorter beat, and the time is "hit up" to the third and permanent wing rhythm, rapid and steady as a pulse beat, which carries it home. Racers fly 300 feet high over land, but low over water. Their eDemles as they fly are wind. rain, gunners and hawks. Tbey do all their flying between sunrise and sunset. If caught out overnight they fend for themselves till dawn. The homing instinct is lifelong During the Franco-Prussian war the Germans caught a homing pigeon which was on its way into beleaguered Paris. The bird was kept prisoner for ten years. It was then released. It immediately returned to its old home.

How the Paving Value of Asphalt Was Brought to Notice. All forms of bituminous pavements, whether manufactured from natural or artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial stone pavements. The industry started with the use of the natural rock asphalt from the mines In the Val de Travers, Canton Neufcbatel, Switzerland. The mines were discovered in 1721, but it was in 1849 that its utility as a road covering was first noticed. The rock was then being mixed for the purpose of extracting the bitumen contained in it for use in medicine and arts. It Is a limestone found impregnated with bitumen, of which it yields on analysis from 8 to 14 per cent. It was observed that pieces of rock which fell from the wagon were crushed by the weight of wheels, and under the combined influence of the traffic and heat of the sun a good road surface was produced. A macadam road of asphalt rock was then made which gave very good results, and finally in 1854 a portion of the Rue Bergere was laid in Paris of compressed asphalt on a concrete foundation. In 1858 a still larger sample was laid, and from that time it has been laid year by year in Paris. From Paris it extended to London, being laid on Tbreadneedle street in 1869 and Cheapside in 1870 and in successive years on other streets, and then its use in street and road making extended to other countries.

A Welcome Visitor. Prospectors in Alaska who spend the long winters up there sometimes are incredibly lonely, says the Saturday Evening Post. A man named Hartford was left in charge of a mine one winter. He was all alone and at the end of the third month was sighing for companionship. One morning he left his cabin to get some wood and met an enormous black bear that reared on its hind legs and stretched out its front paws as if to bug the miner. "Good morning, bear," said the miner, holding out bis band. "I'm darned glad to see you."
