"VAMPS" WHO | MADE HISTORY g * By JAMES C. YOUNG. g (Q by lfcOlurs Nswspapsr Syndicate.) THE VAMPIRE WHO 8TARTED PROFITEERING. AFTER seizing half of France and leaving the conquered country to his lieutenants, Edward III returned to England toward the close of the Fourteenth century, the most powerful monarch which the uatloQ had ever known. He had been long at the wars and waa determined te let younger shoulders carry the burden. His mind was bent upon recreation, the rest and plenty so hardly won. His eye fell upon Alice Perrers. She probably was a servant about the palace, and was neither pretty nor talented. But she had a flattering tongue and the will which moves even walls. So It vTas not long until her natue began to be linked with that of Edward. Then his wife died, the good Queen Phlllppa. Immediately Alice Perrers came Into the full measure of her power. This woman had one ruling passion ?money. Edward was completely under her domination. She persuaded him to give her estates In 17 counties, many of them wrung from their rightful owners. She had herself appointed as "guardian" to wealthy .orphans and rifled their property. Court offices were sold through her. She undertook to dictate even In the law courts, and actually sat upon the bench with crown judges to see that they decided In the way she sought. The people groaned and a party began to gather around the Black Prince, son of Edward, whQ had come home from the wars abroad. In an unwise moment Alice had parliament summoned to vote new taxes. But the parliament reneiieu and Edward, near his dotage, was forced to give up Alice, both agreeing that they would never meet again. Then the Black Prince died. Alice came back to the palace, more powerful than ever. At this Juncture she hit unon the Idea of cornering certain Imported luxuries, working through a merchant. 4 The volume of commerce was comparatively small at that time. It was an easy matter to carry out her plans. Bo AJleo became England's first profiteer and gained new wealth. The king was fee We and frequently near death, but Alice tenderly administered to him and by the very force of her own spirit kept him alive. In every direction she levied new exactions and the people were afraid to act. Scandal coupled her name with that of several men, but Edward would not believe her unfaithful. How far she might have gone It would be impossible to say had not the king's falling health reached crisis. At last, when Alice saw that her time had run Its course, she left Edward to die alone. But not until she bad removed the rings from the fingers of this king, whose deeds had resounded through all the world, only to become the prey of a servant girl who was not even pretty. 8he Couldn't Be 8ure. The rather flashily-dressed woman took her fourteen-year-old daughter to the domestic science teacher. "I want her to learn to cook and sew," she said, "so that she can get a husband." For one tnlnute the teacher stared at the woman. Then a twinkle came Into her eyes. "Oh, I don't know about that being no sure a way," she laughed. "You see I teach both and I haven't yet obtained a husband." Not Ho. "Look here, sir I" ominously demanded old Festus Pester, who had been disturbed by queer noises In the nleht "I>o you play the xaxophone?" "No," removing hla hot and expoaIng a very hald head, replied the man who had recently moved In next door. "I lost my hulr In the natural couree of eventa."?Kanaaa City Star. Humoring a Fancy.

The first stop In this direction was the recent establishment on a tract of 143 acres at F.I Paso, Texas, ef tha Southern Baptist Sanatorium, where $500,000 from the 71 Million Campaign has been Invested and where $500,000 more will be placed by the end of the Campaign period.

The death rate from tnher-.i culonis is 14.2% higher in the South than In the Nation uh a whole. One , reason for the exceedingly high death rate in the South Is the groat prevalence of the plague among the negroea vho are especially susceptible to tuberculosis, the death rate among them, being three and otie-half times that < among the whites. Hut inasmuch as the negroes will doubtless oontlnue to be intimately associated with the wjiltes In domestic and other work In the future, the whites will never be safe from infection until the neg*)es, is well as the whites, have been freed frem the plague. It has been estimated that the toal economic loss from the ravages >f tuberculosis In the South is $176,* 100,000 a year, and in projecting their warfare against the plague the HapJets hope to greatly reduce this lose, is well as to save the life and promote he health and general efficiency of :he wholo people.

Other Phases of Baptist Work. In addition to the Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Southern Baptists have a string of seventeen regular hospitals in operation and seven others under course of construction.
