Sir William Cavendish, known in
English history us the first Duke of
Newcastle, was commander of King
Charles l.’s tirst royal army in his
contest with Cromwell. Sir William's
second wife, the Duchess Margaret,
wrote a life of her husband, in which
she depicted him as a "most illustrious
prince’* and in every respect the pink
o f perfection.
The work was supposed to be entire
ly itut hen tic and truthful, for Sir Wil
liam himself assisted in its preparation,
it was published early in RM>7. and
rnuuy complimentary copies were sent
out. including one to Ylie officials of St.
John’s college. Cambridge university.
In acknowledging its receipt they
wrote:
"Your excellency’s book will not only
survive our university, but hold date
even with time itself, and Incontinent
ly this age by reading your I took will
lose Its barbarity and rudeness, being
made tame by the elegance of your
style and manner.”
But old Samuel Pepys was not quite
so favorably impressed. In Ills cele
brated "Dlarv.” under date of March
IN. BM»7. he made this entry: “ Staid at
home reading the ridiculous history of
my Lord Newcastle, wrote by his wife,
which shows her to be a mad. conceit
ed. ridiculous woman and he an asse to
suffer her to write what she writes to
him and o f him.” --Exchange

Experiments have shown that ani
mals which demand a mixed diet will
starve as surely and almost as quickly
when fed on a one sided diet, even
though it be large in bulk, as when de
prived of food altogether, and the same
thing holds true for men Hunger of a
moderate degree Is not prejudicial to
strength and vigor, provided it be what
might be termed a general hunger The
thing to be carefully guarded against
on a hard march Is the tremendous
hunger for some particular food con
tent. such as sweet or fat or starch,
which we so often find In the case of a
carelessly equipped expedition. A well
rounded ration Is worth two which are
not so. The man who has this prin
ciple firmly in mind has made a long

Ball, to be held in the Estacada
Pavilion.
Last year, many dancers re
gretted not having given more
attention to the planning of their
costumes, but from present in
dications it looks as though the
Grand March on that night, will
be one o f the most entertaining
and amusing features that has
ever been staged in Estacada.
Owing to the seating capacity o f
the hall, few spectators will get
seats, as the dancers in then-
grotesque, dainty and flowing
costumes will take up more than
their ordinary share o f room.
This Masquerade dance will he
the big event of the winter sea

present in costume to join the
merry-makers. Tickets for gen
