GREAT EVENTS
Great writers have had “artistic con­
science" to a degree that sometimes
caused them painful labors. In 170?,
when Joseph Addison, the English
poet and eesaj 1st, was undersecretary
of state he was given as a matter of
official business the tusk of writing to
Hanover that Queen Anne was dead.
He found It so difficult to express
himself satisfactorily that the lords of
the regency were obliged to employ
8ouihwell, at that time one of the
clerks.
For hours Addison had
struggled in attempts to draft a suit­
able message, but the last one seemed
as Inadequate as the first, and In de­
spair he cart it after Its predecessors
Into the waste basket.
Southwell stated the simple fact, as
he was ordered. In the ordinary lan­
guage of business, and It Is said he
then bonsted of his superiority to Ad­
dison In having readily done that
which Addison attempting to do hud
failed.—Kansas City Times.

peninsulas jutting Into-the seas that

peninsula. The other races spent cen­

each other, but have merged their
various difficulties In a common
hatred against Turkey. The Turks,
strongest of all Mahomet’s followers,
became masters of the peninsula in
the Thirteenth century, being at that
time the foremost military power of
the world.

Rooke, “my stomach and liver went

last straw. Nothing seemed tohelpme.
“On a friend’s advice I tried Tanlac,
