William, the Conqueror, Added

Victims.
The Tower of London where William
Hohenzollern may be hold pending
his trial, is described in the following
bulletin from the national
geographic society:
Palace and prison, once noted also
for its menagerie and its pageantry,
birthplace and death house of mon

and reputed hidden treasure, ghastly I
in its memories of tortures and killings
and sacred for its martyrs, the
Tower of London amply warrants description
as the most ancient and
most poetic pile in Europe.
William the conqueror gave London
a charter but built the White Tower
to show the people how little that 1
charter might mean. Like the Eng- 1
lish constitution the rambling London '
Tower of today is a product of cen- '
turies, and not one, but many towers, (
now are scattered over some 10 acres. (
The site had been a fortress since ^
Roman times.
To the middle tower Elizabeth came 1
back a queen five years after her <
jealous half-sister, Mary, had kept c
her there a prisoner. The hump- c
backed Richard III hired three as- I
sassins to murder his nephew In \ \
Bloody Tower. Not until years later \
were their bones found and taken to t
Westminster Abbey.

SUPPLEMENT TO 1
I White Tower, signal of the execution
of Anne Boleyn, so he might marry <
Jane Seymour next day. Henry V ;
minister, Thomas Cromwell, sent
hosts of enemies to London Tower to <
be butchered until he helped pick
Anne, of Cloves for his much married
monarch, but when Henry saw this <
prospective bride he pronounced her i
"a Flanders mare" and off went ;
Ciomwell's head with the rest. i
Relieving such stories of royal |
cruelty are the immortal "last words'' i
of the brave men and women who laid '
their heads on the axeman's block. i
God forbid the king shall use any <
more such mercy to my friends," (
laughed Sir Thomas More when told i
that Henry VIII had "mercifully" con <
sented to let him be beheaded instead 1
of hanged, and, to the executioner, as
ho moved his beard aside, "Pity that ,
should be cut that has not committed
treason."
The countess of Salisbury proudly
refused to lay her head on the block
because she had committed no wrong, '
so that, says an observer, apologizing !
for the executioner, "he was constrained
to fetch it off sloovcnly." i
"If you strike me twice, 1 cannot 1
promise you not to stir," warned <
Monmouth. Asked to raise his head ]
a bit Algernon Sidney retorted, "Not \
until the general resurrection; strike
on." "Petre," inquired Sir Walter i
Raleigh, to keep up the spirits of his (
attendant, "Dost thou know of any \
plaister to set a man's head on again (
when it was cut off? f
Confined to the tower for some 13 j t
years Sir Walter set a fashion which j ^
made a solon out of the palacc-prison. j 1
While he was not attending his gar-|j
kn, and distilling essence from i r
plants he wrote his quaint "History a
>f the World," and there, too, Wil- t
iam Penn wrote "No Cross, No c
Crown," not to mention the writings h
>f the Duke of Orleans and Sir John '1
Sliot. f
About the main entrance to the P
f
Lower was a menagerie until a hun?!
ed yeais or so ago, because Fred*
rick II of Germany sent Henry III
?f England several panthers and
denry did not know what else to do tl
vith them. Later James I, who liked v
)car baiting, added those animals to c
1)0 zoo.
The wardens, known as "beef eaters,"
probably because they once were ti
Cvt on rations of meat, form one of tl
he curiosities for London visitors, a

they keep their ancient costumes, undisturbed
by currents of modern
fashion.
Just before midnight the head ward
cr and the porter, carrying a bunch of
huge keys, go to the guard room, sum
mon "the escort of the keys" made up
of "beef eaters" and then proceed
ceremoniously to lock the great outer
gate. The pass word is given formally
to sentries as the procession
passes, and in conclusion the detail
salutes the keys as the porter cries,
"God preserve the king:." Every
three months the reigning king or
queen sends the password of the tower
to the Constale, signed and sealed,
and the mayor of London is the only
other outside person supposed to
know it. This custom is a relic of the
time when the tower was primarily
a fortress.
Like the Bastile, London Tower has
been stormed. Desperate efforts have
been made to steal the royal relies
kept there, which include the ancieni
'anoiting spoon' and Queen Elizabeth's
salt cellar. One famous effort,
in which a Col. Blood, disguised as a
clergyman, nearly made away with
the bejewelled crown, is thought by
some to have been inspired by Charles
II because he needed the money
the rare gems would bring.
One of the less well known, but
nost spectacular incidents, was the
scape of two priests by a ruse thai
vould have done credit to Monte
"risto. One of them, having been
strung up by the hands for days, an I
hen put in a rack while his wrists
till were swollen, without making
dm betray his faith, wrote in orange
uice to friends outside, for a light
ope with a weight at one end. He
.lso asked that a boat be brought t>
be river below Cradle Tower on a
crtain night. On that night he made
is way to his fellow prisoner's room,
'lie two flung the weighted end of
he- rope to their friends in the boat,
ulled' up a heavier rope, climbed
rom the steep walls to the boat safo/
and made their escape.

ed the withdrawal of the Government's

In the South it is not only a good /
farm practice to grow wheat, oats and
hat rye enough for home needs, but it is
0f very desirable, (1) to have winter
js cover crops that will take up the
, ' plant food that would otherwise wash
for
out of the soil with the winter rains;
(2) to provide light winter grazing for
the livestock; (3) to furnish in early
tra- spring some fresh cereal hay which
wo l>e the better if it has vetch oi
bur clover growing wirti it; (4) tc
y furnish vegetable matter or humns to
iar- turn into the soil at the spring plow- j
ese leg.

Too little attention is given to obp,
