The Conqueat of England LITTLE has been Said of England in this series. Not that its history up to this point had not been of great interest, but it had 7»ad until the Eleventh century comparatively little influence on the general history of the world. In the early days the country had been populated by heathen, savage tribes forever at war with each other. They had combined against the Romans who invaded the country under Julius Caesar, and for a time were successful in repelling the better-disciplined foe. The Romans won difficult foothold In Great Britain, but the natives at last drove them out and won Independence. Then Teuton warriors fipni the borders of Germany ah<T Scandinavia overran England. These new invaders were known as "Saxons," though in time they called themselves "English." They completely won the country, which they proceeded to apportion and then to fight over among themselves. Down came the Danes, or Northmen, conquered the Saxons and gained control of England. But the Saxons within a quarter century put down the Danes, and made themselves once more masters of the sorely distraught Island. After which, In spite of internal strifes and petty wars, they remained in control until the middle of the Eleventh century. Then came a political snarl whose rights and wrongs have never been clearly settled. The muddle, briefly, was as follows: Edward, king of England, had no sons. He was related to the dukes of Normandy (descendants of the Norse pirate, Rollo), and promised to make Duke William of Normandy his heir. As the English throne was not a private possession to be bestowed at will, Edward had not the slightest right to make this promise. He was a man whose alleged piety served as a cloak for political Intrigues and won for him the nickname of Edward the Confessor. He was Norman in sympathies, and though he knew his Saxon subjects, hated the Normans, he still planned to overthrow the brave Saxon dynasty In the latter's favor. The "political boss" of England at the time was one Earl Godwin. He was the people's idol, represented the pro-Saxon, anti-Norman element and was strong enough to defy even the king. Godwin's son, Harold the Fair- Haired, was exiled from England and fled to Normandy, where Duke William, for reasons of his own, received him cordially. In return for this kindness (the Norman duke later declared) Harold promised to support William's claims as Edward's successor and did him homage as his/ rightful master. Harold returned from exile, and on Godwin's death Inherited the old earl's popularity and political power. - So when, In 1066, King Edward died without an heir, the people unanimously chose Harold as king of England. William at the same time sent envoys to remind him of his promise. Harold packed the envoys off again with no satisfactory reply and assumed the sovereignty of the conn try. But the strain of Scandinavian pirate blood would not allow William to submit tamely to this downfall of his hopes. He stirred up Hadrada, king of Norway, against Harold, and himself fitted out an expedition against England. The Norsemen under Hadrada swept down upon the British coaet (the last of their many invasions) and William raised an army to follow their example. On September 24, 1066, Harold met the Norwegian army and utterly routed it, driving the Scandinavians forever from British soil. Then he turned to meet William, who, with a mighty Norman host, had crossed the channel. The two armies--Saxon and Norman--met at Hastings, October 14, 1066. Harold's army, already weakened by their battle with the Norsemen, fought heroically, and ever In the van was their gigantic, yellow-haired king. A Norman arrow wounded Harold. Before he could recover himself four Norman knights hurled themselves upon him and killed him. Seeing their leader fall, the Saxons fled. Though for five years longer they fought vainly to repel the Normans, they were little by little subdued, until by 1071 England was a mere Norman possession. Much pathetic nonsense has been written of the brutal conquest of England by Norman robbers. As a matter of fact, it was the best possible thing for the country. The Saxons had been a heavy, boorish, stupid, nonprogressive race. The Normans were up to date, alert, eager for improvement and advancement of all sorts. The rough strength and ruder virtues of the Saxons blended at length with the skill, culture and chivalry of the Normans ; the combination forming one of the greatest, most powerful nations the world has ever known. Within a few generations Saxon and Norman were merged. To the result of this "merger" England owes her later prowess. But the conquest's chief result was the wedding of the Saxon and ancient French dialects Into the English language. While the conquest Itself was with out legal or moral justification, yet Its prime mover's genius made It the ultl- rte benefit to humanity at large t&at sieved te be. haw." * *' -Told Tales Interesting Bits of News Taken From the Columns of the i^fi^Jflaindealer Fifty and ; t\ Twe*jgr-five Yeara Ago , January, 1878 C. T. Eldredge, is now dressing and shipping a large amount of poultry daily, for which he is paying the very highest market price. He ships direct to eastern markets, and we learn that poultry dressed at this establishment always commands top figures. If farmers have poultry to sell, they should call on Charley, as he will always do the fair thing by them. ' We are informed that a youthful Nimrod, named Orlando Richardson, aged 17 years, who lives near Volo, during the year 1877 killed 112 rabbits and 53 squirrels, 9 pigeons, 41 ducks and 5 partridges. This was accomplished without infringing . on his lqbor hours, as he is a steady boy at work. We would like to see or hear of the young shootist that can show a better record. The following is the program for the McHenry Literary society this week: Music, singing and a debate on the following question: Resolved, That the financial policy of the government is the cause of the present hard times. Affirmative--George Gage, R. Bishop, J. Van Slyke, C. V. Stevens and M. Kelter. Negative--F. K. Granger, James B. Perry, H. C. Mead, S. D. Baldwin and A. F. Parsons. We sometime ago spoke of Cooley's Patent Portable Creamery, for which Homer Wattles, Esq., is the agent for this and adjoining counties. This was last fall, when it was first brought to the notice of dairymen in this section. Since that time we have been using butter-made from one of these creameries, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the sweetest and most wholesome butter we ever used on our table. Since the improvement in the roads business has rapidly improved in this village, farmers bringing in and selling their produce, paying their debts and doing their trading, and the gloom that had settled over the countenances of our business men during mud time is rapidly passing away. Our stores are all well stocked, and buyers cannot fail to find what they want by coming to McHenry. January, 1903 To lose a coach from the center of a train of cars while going along a simple track seems hardly a possibility yet this happened on the North Western road near Richmond Tuesday evening, says the Elgin Courier. The milk train, which passes through in the early evening, while between Richmond and Ringwood broke in two. The cars were coupled up and the train went on and not until it arrived at Terra Cotta, 15 miles distant, did the trainmen notice that one car from the center of the train was missing. The Chronicle, Huntley's new paper, is a slight improvement over the Journal, but that is saying little. It is quite evident that the publishers are not well versed in the art of printing. They should join forces hire a competent printer, and give Huntley one good paper. No town of less than 1500 population can support two papers. Miss Lena Rossman, daughter of August Rossman is very sick with diptheria at Woodstock. Her sister, Martha, is also at Woodstock, quarantined in the house. Delbert Bacon, son of Charles Bacon of Ringwood, met with an accident on the Dwelly farm last Monday that nearly cost him his life. A large tree fell onto him, breaking a leg, dislocating his shoulder and injuring his side.
