He ;.;.i not whipped France an' France j i l not whipped hlrn. Hut both i n- eo near down an' out that some r:.:n' liad to he done. A truce wuz r-Ml upon for twenty-two months. H. French KinK. Charles, bet to .scsk at once to try an' pull the oiiitry toKether; for awlmost con ?:niif)us war had proven disastrous ... hit awlways has an' awlways will. H- is paid to have met with much suc- -ss in that line, for the French are a thrifty people in peace az well az in war. In 1140 there wuz another tilt with KnIand. This time Normandy wuz h- hone ov contention. The English forces wore unable to contend with tiw French under the circumstances an' Franco recovered Normandy with out a serious fight. Rut the row wuz rt-newed a little later an' serious li'htin' occurred. The French had laid sHge to Castillon when Gen. Tal ! ot appeared with 5,000 English troops. Talbot wuz SO years old but came. lie soon fell in battle an' hiz ed teh useless position on the moun yon. Lord Lisle, threw himself upon ! tains, for the enemy had passed by or the body ov hiz father. Other offi-j around them. Still the French . rs awlso appeared and hit iz said j dreaded the Swiss, for on their home that no less than thirty officers were ; soil an' with ample supplies, they kiiled while tryin' to protect the j might prove more than a match for hrave old English military leader, j the French so far from home. But But hit proved to be hiz last fight, for; they agreed to accept a liberal cash he had gotten a death-wound. In hiz; sum at first. But hit seems that they death England had again lost hope ov i changed their minds about this be dominating France, for every city ex- j fore the deal could be closed. There cept Calais had been lost. Louis the 11th succeeded hiz fa ther, King Charles. He wuz said to lie so crooked that he couldn't sleep on a bed. After a life ov deceit an' worse he wuz seized with an attack ov appoplexy in 14S0, which left him an invalid for the balance ov hiz life. Ho continued to direct hiz schemes from hiz sick bed. He seized the es tate ov the Duke of Bourbon, hiz rival in a political way. He died in 14S3. Charles the Sth succeeded him when but 14 years old. On account ov hiz youth an' delicate health France wuz ruled by a regent, Anne, eldest daughter ov the late King, wuz chosen, an' wuz known az a gover ness. Charles died in 1498 after playin' but a email part in rulin France. At the end ov the fourteenth cen tury France had began to burst the bonds or feudalism. The right ov suffrage wuz given to a larger num ber ov citizens an' the number ov bur gesses (lawmakers,) wuz increased. The number ov cities an' towns In creased to about two thousand in a short time. Previous to this Paris an' a few other large cities had nearly everything in the way ov trade an' manufacturin. The King an' the lawmakers were often far apart. For instance, the King could engage the country in war, a defensive war, with out legislative authority, but the law makers could, if they saw proper, stand aloof and let him "root hog or die," an the King wuz not given any cash to keep up an army in time ov j Peace. Another curious law or rule muz made which placed the legal age ov any person entitled to sit upon the throne at 14 instead ov 21, which wuz unwise, for what does a boy or girPov 14 know about rulin' a country? About this time the use ov artillery in war wuz begun az an experiment. The old-fashioned smooth-bore iron an' brass cannon, which were not dangerous if soldiers were good at dodgin', were awl the style for sev eral hundred years, up to fifty or six ty years ago, in fact. About this time the clerical gentle men had a perpetual picnick, espe cially in France. A bishop wuz az great in every way az a lord. Hit iz even said that a powerful baron hez been seen holdin the bridle ov a cler gyman's horse, an' at mealtime bar ons would stand behind the chairs until a clergyman would seat himself an' invite the baron to be seated. This wuz due to two causes respect tor the priestly robes an the power they covered and to the polite man ners ov the French people in that day, some ov which may be noticed even now in that country, I am told. By the death ov Charles 8th, the throne passed from the direct line ov the house ov Valois, and Louis. Duke Orleans, became King. He wuz 36 years old. He had been trained in the school ov adversity; had been in disgrace an' In prison. I Darin bU re lira th Kins or Enic jland !avade4 Froe aad look Tr ruenn and Tounar; and ts SvUt I awlso invaded Hareaady with 25,000 men. Louis derided to make peace j with hit enemies through family ea j tangiemenLa. He offered biz aecoad daughter to either or the two rr&ad on of the Kins or Spain, aa la this marriage to renounce the claims or France on Milan an' Genoa. The pro- j posai wui accepted, Iou!s himself . married the Princess Mary, iister or I the English Kins;. So he for a time settled awl differences with England ? and Spain. Hat he dida't lire long, j dyfn on the 2nd or January, 1514, 1 an' wuz succeeded by Francis I. Count of Angoalrae an Duke or Bre- s tagne an' Valois. i The new King had hardly cot hlx J Over Uw.goat on the throne warm till he con-i j eluded that Italy needed a whippin j ; an that he wux the man for the job. ! iic luticascu uu army 10 ov.vvu, me largest France had supported In or-! dlnary times. He hired 22.000 Ger- ! man soldiers awlso. In addition he; Iliad some ten or twelre thousand ia- f'jntrv now vnlnnf o r a an some quit the regular army. A part or the force wuz dispatched at once to clear the way to the Alps, that vast moun tain range between France an' her foes. Hut another difficulty must be met an overcome. There were but two known roads or passes over the Alps at this time, both controlled by tbe Swiss an guarded by them. The position wuz such that a mere hand ful ov soldiers could prevent the pas sage ov awlmost any number ov sol diers. An' the Swiss an' the Italians weer friendly. So the French must find a new way to get through the mountains. For money a man un- dertook to show them a new route. To drag cannon over these mountains quickly wuz a problem, but the French accomplished the task an j 3,000 pioneers, old soldiers, who hadldrefi6er !nlJm&td tbat tbe 0Q penetrated Italy by the sources ov j ,lreka ,nfo the uthr the River Po. The Italians were j thoroughly surprised when the Washington Times. French began pourln into the coun- The empire State of the South is try on their side ov the mountains breaking away from the Adminis an 'they hastily hid their hand or- j tration's machine of Federal office- gans an' peanut roasters. The French army captured Villefrance an established that town az headquar ters. The Swiss guard now abandon- wuz nothin' to do but fight. The bat tle began in the afternoon an' con tinued long after night when the moon went out ov site. Hit wuz a desperate fite, too, for the Swiss were genuine soldiers. The cannon used by the French were new to the Swiss but they didn't hesitate to charge an even captured some ov the cannon. One ov the veterans with the army said he had been in seventeen big bat tles but that awl ov them were az "childs play" when compared to the battle ov Marignano, which he said wuz "a battle ov giants." The Swiss were finally defeated but not until many important men fell on both sides. The King ov France wuz given the Knighthood after the battle az "the chevalier without fear and with out reproach." The Duchy ov Milan wuz conquer ed by the victory ov the French at Merignano. The Swiss who held the caiptal surrounded hit, bein' hard pressed by France, for any country with money could hire the soldiers ov another country in those days. France an' Italy were at war from 1521 to 1524. The King ov France invaded Italy and laid seige to Pavia. He wuz captured on the 24th ov Feb ruary. By making certain conces sions an' promises which he didn't keep, he wuz released. But there wuz war an' bad feelin' between the two countries long after that an' hit continued until the death ov the French King in 1547. He wuz suc ceeded by hiz son, Henry II, aged 29. I will now relate a joke on the King whose death wuz just mention- ed, though jokes are a little out ov place in speakin' ov the dead. The new King wuz havin' the late death ov hiz predecessor celebrated in the customary style ov the day an- sev eral big guns were billed for speeches upon the good qualities ov the late King. One priest said that King Francis had lived such a good, holy life that he had gone straight to heaven without passing through the flames of purgatory. The reformers had then appeared, even in France, an' a delegation ov them went at once to complain to the new King an scout the idea ov the existence of a purgatory. Mendosa, a chief officer ov the palace, first heard thet com plaints the reverend gentlemen wish e dto lay before the King. "Calm jourselves, gentlemen," said Men dosa, "if you had known the good King Francis as well as I did, you would have better understood the words of the preacher. King Francis was not a man to tarry long any where; an if he did take a turn In purgatory, believe me, the devil him self could not persuade him to take anythin' like a long sojourn there. What iz said to hev been the first duel ov modern times wuz fought in France. Two young men, both pages in the court ov King Francis, fell out because one ov them, a great sport for dress, awlways appeared better dressed than the other.

Reports from the delegate contest in Texas indicate plainly that Roose velt will dominate the big delegation of forty that will be sent to Chi cago. Missouri will go the same way; most of Oklahoma will go along; Tennessee and Kentucky, North Car olina and Arkansas will contribute to the Roosevelt column. The South will be so seriously di vided, from present indications, that the real business of nominating will be left to the delegates from North, West, and Mid-WTest. The outcome there cannot be re- garded as uncertain. Republican or possibly Republican territory wants a man who can win. t Helps SI Mrs. J. F.
