Tommy's mother had made him a
present of a toy shovel and sent him
out in the sand lot to play with his
baby brother. "Take care of baby
now, Tommy, and don't let anything
hurt him," was mamma's parting in
junction. Presently screams of anguish from
baby sent the distracted parent flying
to the sand lot "For goodness' sake,
Tommy, what has happened to the
baby?" said she, trying to soothe the
walling infant.
"There was a naughty fly biting him
on the top of his head, and I killed it
with the shovel," was the proud re

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead of

It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food fof a despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list of med
icines. There are some truly scientific phy
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard

Here's an Instance:
"Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that I was on
the verge of starvation.
"I beard of a doctor who has a sum

GREAT LOVE STORIES
- OF HISTORY
By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE
King James and
Copyrttil bf
An 11-year-old Scotch boy was cap
tured In 1405 by English officials as
he was on his way to France to be
educated. The boy was James, only
living son of King Robert III. of Scot
land. England and Scotland were for
ever quarreling with each other. So
the capture of the latter country's
little crown prince was looked on as
a master stroke of diplomacy. Robert
III. died the next year, after trying in
vain to persuade the English king to
set his son free. The lad at 12 became
James I. of Scotland, and remained 18
years longer as a prisoner in Eng
land. The English treated the boy kindly.
Tho best tutors were provided for
him. He was also taught the warlike
accomplishments without which no
thirteenth century youth's education
was complete. The prisoner king as
he grew to manhood won fame as an
athlete and as a poet. Once ns he
stood looking down from the window
of his castlo prison he saw n tall, beau-
A Roval tiful g,rl wantlor-

roses and lilies in
the garden below. At first sight the
lonely man was attracted by her love
liness, and he became henceforth her
devoted slave. So eloquently did he
plead his suit that the maiden soon
returned his love.
She was Idy Joan Beaufort, daugh
ter of the earl of Somerset and kins
woman to the English King Henry IV.
In her honor James wrotu a poem
entitucd "Ye Kingis Quhair" ("The
King's Booklet"), and he consecrated
his life to her service. Now a match
between these two was just what Eng
land most desired. It would form a
bond between the two rival countries
and would, perhaps, make English in
fluence strong In Scotland. So James
and Joan were permitted to marry.
Their wedding was celebrated in Feb
ruary, 1424. Then England allowed
the Scotch to ransom their captive
king for $200,000, and the young cou
ple, rejoicing in their freedom, Jour
neyed north to reign over Scotland.
Their descendant, James VI. of Scot
land, was destined to become James I.
of England, and thus unite the two
kingdoms.
The newly released monarch found
his kingdom in a terrible condition.
The country was ruder and more law
less than England. It was overrun
with corrupt politics. The powerful
nobles oppressed the poor and took to
themselves almost royal privileges.
Laws were ill-enforced. Everywhere
the hand of a master was urgently
Martin Luther and
The most-talked-ot man In Europe
in 1525 fell in love with a nun. He
himself was a former monk. The man
was Martin Luther, the famous re
former, who had declared Ills Inde
pendence of the churchly customs of
the day; and who not only placed the
Bible Into the hands of the plain peo
ple, but was the founder of the Protes
tant creed In Germany.
Luther, arter casting loose from the
established church, continued to
preach his doctrines (often at risk of
his life) and to gain new converts by
the thousands. Among these converts
was a pretty nun named Catherine
von Bora. Catherine, while very young,
had entered a convent near Grlmma,
Germany. News of Luther's teachings
reached her and she was soon won
over to his way of thinking In regard
to religious matters. She went so far
as to convince eight other nuns that
Luther's opinions were right. Then
the nine women decided to give up
convent life. But to make such a de
cision and to act upon U were two
quite different things. In her perplex
ity Catherine wrote to Luther for aid.
Luther was touched by her appeal.
Through tho help of a friend he man
aged to get Catherine and her eight
friends out of the convent one night

nuns caused a
great sensation. Now that they were
freed from the convent, Luther did not
quite know how to dispose of them.
He prevailed upon tho relatives of
aome to take them Into their homes,
and he advised others to marry. But
Catherine was not so easily settled In
life. She was pretty, and only 24
years old. She was also what would
aow be called a "new woman." She
lid not relish the idea of being mar
led out of hand to any man her rela
tives might chance to select for her.
Moreover, she had secretly fallen In
love with Luther himself. Wise as the
reformer was, he had not the wit to
see this. So be proposed to her that
she marry one of bis friends. She re
fused in disgust. He suggested an
other friend; then another. She still
refused. At length in despair .he
isked her to name some man she was
vllllng to marry. She1 calmly 'hamed

Luther, though surprised, liked the
dea. Ha, had cast off the monk's
:owl and felt he was no longer bound
by his former vows of celibacy. He
had written treatises advising formor
priests to marry. Why not set the
ixample? So he accepted Catherine's

needed. James had a tremendously
difficult task before him. Those who
looked on him only as a dreamy, love
sick poet thought he would bo content
to let matters rest as they were.
Hut they were mistaken. With an
iron hand he subdued the haughty
nobles, crushed misrule, put traitors
to death, made wise laws and In count
less ways built up the country and re
formed its government. For twelve
years he and Jonn reigned. Under
their rule the land prospered. But the
nobles hated the king who had de
prived them of their power. A num
ber of these noblemen at last con
spired against him. The leader of the
conspiracy was Sir Robert Graham.
With a band of assassins Graham
planned to seize and murder the king
at the first safe opportunity.
James and Joan with their children
and a small party of attendants rode
to Perth to spend Christmas at the
monastery there. On the road thither
a wild-eyed old Highland woman who
had the name of being a prophetess
threw herself In front of the king and
Implored him to turn back, declaring
that he rode to his death. James,
against his wife's advice, paid no heed
to the strange warning. Late that
night Graham and his accomplices,
with 300 Highland clansmen, sur
rounded the monustery and broke
down its doors. There was a cellar
under JameB bedchamber. In this
vault the king and Joan were thrust

erine Douglas, one of Joan's maids
of honor, passed her arm through the
Iron loops that had held the bars. She
heroically kept her arm there until It
was broken by the pressure of the as
sassins' shoulders from the outside.
Then Graham and his men burst Into
the room. They found the trapdoor
leading to the vault and sprang upon
the doomed monarch. Joan threw her
self between her husband and his foes
and was wounded by a sword thrust.
The king fought gallantly and slew
two of his assailants before he was
overcome and murdered.
Joan amply avenged his death. She
had the country scoured for the as
sassins, and as each was caught and
put to death by horrible torture she
whispered the captured man's name
In the ear of her dead husband.
The last seized was the leader, Sir
Robert Graham. This name Joan did
not whisper, but shouted it In tri

ding ring made in the form of a cruci
fix. The uuion was very happy, and six
children were born to the oddly-mated
couple. Luther was poor. Catherine
had no money at all. The husband s
meager pay as a professor kept them
alive, but they were never well-to-do.
It was a hard, ceaseless struggle
against poverty.
Catherine proved also to have a
rather unpleasant temper; and her
wrathful lectures concerning her hus
band's various shortcomings led Lu

adding:
"My rib, Kit, thou most learned
dame, Catherine Luther! Ah, Kit,
thou shouldst never preach. How
much these same ribs have to answer
for. ... If I were going to make love
again I would carve an obedient wom
an out of marble, In despair of finding
one In any other way!"
Luther, In spite of the cares and
dangers that pressed upon him from
every side, had a merry disposition,
and took his wife's rages as a Joke.
She, in spite of her bad temper and
scolding tongue, loved her husband
devotedly. When, after 21 vears of
Htedded life, ho died, she was incon
solable.
Luther left his family wretchedly
poor. To support herself and her large
brood of children Catherine was forced
to keep a boarding house. But she
did not long survive the man she so
deeply mourned. Six years after Lu
ther's death she followed him to the
grave.

a doctor recently. "It has to manufac

beef and milk, and a wonderful pro

process takes place in the mouth, and,
as In most factories, the first Is the
most important. If a wrong start Is
made, everything that follows Is put
wrong. If the food isn't well masti

stomach, the liver and tho intestines
are thrown out of gear.
