PAGE SIX AN ENGLISHNAN'S VIEW OF THE BATTLE OF BANNOCK- BURN FOUGHT IN 1314. He Would Have Liked to Have Been at Scotch Banquet to Tell the Scotchmen About Flodden. "The Londoner." in Londén News Although 1 have looked in vain for them in the list of arrangements for the day, there will surely be many banquets of Scattish men this night. - Nothing would give me more joy than te sit a guest at one of those tables. Huglish from the crown of the head to the sole of niy boot, 1 kfiow that I should have no business 10 be there, But I'should go will inzly to eat haggis and drink whis key, to hear the pipes and argue about that battle which was fought by the Bannockburn exactly -six hun drod years ago this June day. (24.) it is not that I have a Bannock burn theory to venture against the old tales of those rejoicing Scots, ~ knew an English historian In whose "opinion the roul of the Armada was not much to boast of: I have heard ad ingenious Frenchman demonstra te Waterloo as a moral victory ior the French hosts, But these things are over subtle for my English mind. So far as | know we were handsome- ly beaten at Bannockburn: we fought and lost: we fled shamefully at the day's end with the Bcottish hounds worrying at our heels. If 1 showed myself at a Bannock- burn banquet it would be as one of those who lost the game. Doubtless 1 should be caught in an argument: I might argue for points, standing for fair play. Thus 1 would have none of that talk of forty thougand horse- men and sixty thousand foot yan- guished by a valiant handful of Scots, for such a host was never led over the border by an English king. But in the end I might find no better word than that which Sarsfield gave to King William's officers after Art lone and Aughrim---'"Change kings and fight. it over again." Even that would not that King Robert and King Edward are so long in their graves. Bunnock 'burn was a lost field. But because I am an Englishman I can bear the shame of it lightly. More was won than lost. Scotland and no Jest was won thére by the Scots. We did not lose England; we keep her yet, and Bannockburn iz but a page in her history. All Has come wel in the end. It was well that we lost our French provinces and well that Calais. passed fro us: it was very well indeed that we were on the losing at Bannockburn. So 1 could talk very cheerfully of Bannockburn with the Scottish men at table. There was never a battle of which we can make a better pic ture. I can see the English hog going northward like a pageant play In 1314 warfare had become that gplendid business which is dear to the romancers. King Edward was no soldier but he was all a fantastic king of the middle ages who carried all bis courtly trumperies to war fare, who would have minstrels and jugglers and singing men in his wake whose wagon-train bore purple pavil- jons and plate-chests and rare car- pets, who brought even his wild beasts in their cages to the north- ern war, The tailors dressed out his knights in gowns of gold and pearl. the armourers wrought for them curious harnesses, helms with tall crests and flowing mantles, plate-armour and linked mail all a glitter, : You ean picture the English host as gay with heraldries, Red lions serve now The Great Favorite for Past 17 Years Empress Instantaneous Hair Color Restorer | Instantly restores gray or faded hair to any color desired, with one appli- cation.

Bruce and Douglas and Randel! would know every banner that came against them as well as an Epsom bookmaker knows the colours on a jockey's coat and sleeves, It was a pageant of war, and ft was scattered by men in rusty cape and stained jacks. A few tales hy which we English are not shamed remain from the out of Bannoékburn. We know how Gilbert of Gloucester, the last of the Glares, rushed "like a wild boar," on the Scots and died like a charging boar en the Jong spears, and how Giles of Argentine, knights of = the hospital, brought his eraven king « safety and then, taking courteous leave, rode back to die, saying that it was not his custom fo save him self. But we lose again if we be gin matching the king who broke his good axe on Henry of Bohun's heln with the king whose one care was w save a skin that had not been riskec among the lances; it-is-better; af ter all, to write off Bannockburn as the logt: battle that taught us the game we played at Cressy and Poit iers nd Agincourt, An unenvying Englishmen, I could Iift a glass to the winning side. Ban- nockburn established a mation and gave ug a good neighber, our ancient our familiar antagonist of this day Thanks to what was done at Bannockburn, Englishmen and Scots will never mix; we are nations apart, in spite of the union flag over us both. And what a nation is this that marked out its bounds secure!) at Bannockburn. How poor woulc be the world if it had not bred thai rare breed of men. We and the Scots can still throw aur rough joke over the border. We can mock al the dour race whose fingers close so tightly over sixpence; we have 2 thousand merry tales of the proud and poor people whose cake was eat- en broad. As for the Scot, I know that in his heart the yet calls me a pock-pudding and a soft Englishman But with all our bitter words I know that we secretly admiré each other: iach race, undoubting, gives the ot her the second place in the world of nations. 2 Even so, if I were at the Scottish banquet, I and the Scot would flyte at one another. 1 could give hin Flodden for his Bannockburn. We lost but one earl at Bannockburn and that was because he did weat his ar morial coat with the three red chev- erons; - if the Scots had seen that they would have smelt rich ransom of countless saxpences. At Flodden we killed thirteen Scotiish earls and a king to beot without counting bis hops and abbots, But the Scot and I are neighbors and loving enemies Froissgret~from Hainault could tel? how "hen we had beaten ene anoth ér we were as jolly and. kindly teams after a cricket match.

CUP RACES. as Lipton's ¢hallenger, Sham AN AMAZING SALE. | Spurions Pictures Had Been Collect= ed at Big Prices. Pictures were cheap in Newcastle, England, recently, when the greatest "bargain sale" of modern times, the disposal of the Shipley collection of reputed old masters, began. There were some 2,600 pictures in the collection, which was left by the late J. A. D. Shipley to the Newcastle Town Council. A report on the col- lection was prepared for the council by Sir Walter Armstrong, and Mr. E. R. Dibdin, in whieh they :aid: "Many of the frames and a few of the canvasses bear the names of fam- ous artists of the first class, such as Holbein, Rubens, and Corot. But In no instance is there 'any perceptible ground for such ascription." In the result, the bequest was de- clined by Newcastle, and Gateshead exercised its option and selected some of the pictures, leaving the re- mainder to be sold by auction. The first day's sale produced a total of $2,640 for 120 lots, which gives an average of rather less than $26. Picture collecting was Mr. Ship- ley's hobby, and it is said that he 'would advance any sum of money on a picture and never dream of want- ing his cash returned, but his craze did not infect the sixty or so critics and dealers who attended the dis persal. Pictures alleged to be by great masters were in some cases totally ignored, as in the case of a "Raph- ael," whieh proved to be only a copy of "The Holy Family," and cost the late owner $425. There was one offer of $25, whereupon, the auctioneer ordered the "treasure" to be put om one side. | A- Van Dyke, which was said to be a copy was sold for $11, and a "Murillo," called 'Madonna and Child," brought $40, one of the day's best prices, though it did not sult the auctioneer, who wanted to start the bidding at $250. | A-large canvas of "The Holy Fam- ly," attributed to Rubens, attracted no offer. The highest price obtained was $90, which was' given for a wooded landscape, attributed to Hob- bema. A Gozzoli landscape fetched only $3, which was probably about a tenth of the price paid for the frame. . Sir J. E. Millais' "Lady with Fan," a picture which was accepted by one of the ex ts present as a genuine work, slowly \geached $2. There was ome=sérpriye sale. A naval battle secfne, unnamed painter, was gut up provoked a sudden bufst of bidding. the price running up to $75| before the hammere fell.

The guinea hasn't any change." ' And the Duke (for it wus 'He) said "Certainly" in his politest way, and smiling, delved into' his trouser's pocket and pro- duced a handful of silver. He had but twenty cents in small silver, so the captain contributed the neces- sary mickel, and the Duke received the twenty-five-cent piece from the boy. - The boy mechanicaMy. replied "Thanks," as Canuck boys will, and bought his bag of hot peanuts, and the" Duke and his aide, enjoying the incident hugely, apparently, passed on their way, evidently pleased at the fact that the boy did not know who changed his quarter. The Aristocrat, however, was near, and had seen the incident, and as soon as the Duke was safely out of hearing, rushed to the youth and cruelly told the boy that he had ac- costed "His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught," and added that the absence of "his manners (the boy's, of course) was deplorable.

La Princesse Blue, The present Minister of Inland Revenue, 'he Hon. Bruno Nantel, is an inveterate cigar smoker, but can- not quite 'equal his Jate deputy, Mr. W. J. Gerald. A few years ago Mr. Gerald, to encourage the consumption of French-Canadian tobacco, induced a Montreal cigar manufacturer to put up a cigar with a filler of French- Canadian tobacco and a wrapper of imported leaf. It was known as the "Blue Princess," the cover of the fox conforming to the name. As a smoke it was execrable: In the days when Sir Henry Joly w%s Minister of In- land Revenue, it fell to Major Beat- tie, M.P. for London, to call upon the courtly old Minister upon some matter of Departmental business. Sir Henry waved the major to a seat, ex- pressed his pleasure at seeing him in his office, and invited him to join him in a smoke. The box of "Blue Princesses' was submitted to the major, and he and Sir Henry lit up After they had go through their business Sir Henry asked the major how he liked the cigar. Equally as courteous as the Minister, Major Tom expressed his delight with it. "I will send you. 'a box," Henry. "I am afraid I am giving you too me' trouble," replied the major. In the course of the afternoon a hundred "Blue Princesses" reached the major's desk in the House of Commons. An hour or so later the member for London seized the oppor- tunity to drop into th. vacant seat alongside Sir Henry to enquire of the Minister how much he owed him for the cigars. "Tut, tut, mon cher ami; they are 4 present to you avec mes compli- ments,' replied tlw seignior of Lot- binfere.

Yet their case is not hopeless. A recently discov- ered regenerative force makes fat grow after years of thinness, and is also' unequalled for repairing the waste of sickness or faulty digestion and for strengthening the nerves. This remarkable discovery is called Sargol. Six strength-giving, fat- producing elements of acknowledg- ed merit have been combined in this reerless preparation, which is en- dorsed by eminent physicians and used by prominent people every- where. It is absolutely harmless, inexpensive and efficient. A month's systematic use of Rar- gol should produce flesh and strength by correcting faults of digestion snd by supplying hignly corcentrated fats to the blood. Increased nourishment is obtained from the fool eaten, and the additional fats that thin pedple need are provided. Leading drug- gists supply Sargol and say there is a large demand for it While this new preparation has given splendid results as a nerve- tonic and vitalizer, it should not be used by nervous people unless they wish to gain at least ten pounds ot ~ --_ a a - ann -- flesh. An Interrupted Wooing DERTISING is like a lover courting a' maid; it seeks to establish between two parties a bond of complete and permanent relationship. S Just as a lover would imperil his suit were he to suspend his wooing for three months, so does the manufactur- er lose--perhaps forever--much of what he has gained at great cost when he interrupts his wooing of the favor of the public. ¢ The manufacturer who suspends his advertiging for the hot weather months is extravagant in the extreme. : A suspension of summer advertising is much theh same as giving a sales staff a three months' vacation, and leaving their customers to write in for what they may need, oc to give their orders to competitors who have not relaxed their selling efforts. Advertising is a sales agent whose work is real, positive, an dperceivable though fits influend® and results in any given month may not be immediately calculable. Its worth is seen when sales are summarized and compared.
