accession of Albeit, now Ed-ward VII. '
The good Queen Victoria didn't have j
Lave much English blood in her veins.
The Georges were Germans by olrth or j
adoption. Three of them lived and
died in Hanover and the house of Hanover
ruled England for 200 yeais.
Victoria's fathci and u.oiIk r lived
there. She r,ot her hucbuud there and
her son. the Prlii e of Wales, got 1 'a
wife there. If it had :iot been for tlio
Salic law, which forbade a v.omut
front reigming over llanovor. she
would probably have lived and died
there. Divides this preponderance of
German blond, sno had a strain of
Italian ulool in her veins and was
pleased to call herself a Guelph Hir

They were cruel, heartless, selfish and
depraved. They were worse than our ,
kidnappers or the hazing cadets at j
West Point, for they put to death thoir i
brothers and mothers to go' them out
of their way. Only two or ihree kings
have behaved with credit to the crown.
But the queens have illustrated woman's
superior virtue and kindliness of
heart. Queen Victoria is h^uoied
throughout tlio world?not for her
force of ruling power or political sagacity
or superior wisdom, but fo. her
womanly virtue, her tenderness, her
gentle example, her Christianity, liv n

had her way there would have been no
war en tho Boers. Neither would our
government be trying to subjugate the
Philippines If a g od woman had been
president. It is the men who get np
nearly all the d vilment in this *: 1 I. !
