GREAT LOVE

of HISTORY

Queen Elizabeth anci
Kr sex
(Copyright, by iu« Author.)
Queen Elizabeth of England at the
time this story begins was 60 year§ old.
She was tall, thin, and ugly and had a
fearful temper. Her teeth were black
from tobacco and decay, and she wore
a red wig. Robert Devereux, earl of
Essex, was barely 21. He was hand-
some, accomplished and of fine figure,
b >sl(|es being one of the best edu-
cated men of his day. He was popular
; nd seemed to have a great future in
store. It pleased Elizabeth to fancy
herself in love with him. This love
nffaii was destined to make both of
the participants miserable and to end
Essex's life at 34.
Elizabeth was the daughter of
Henry VIII. and Anne Roleyu. On the
death of her half-sister, Mary, she b*>
came queen ot England. She surround
ed herself with wise counsellors, and
encouraged literature, exploration and
all the arts. For this reason her reign
was England's "golden age." Eliza
beth never married. Yet she was in
the habit of falling in love with nobles
of her own court and of carrying on
violent flirtations with them. Their
flattery delighted her. She believed
in it all. Such men as succeeded in
making the queen think they adored
her usually rose high in power; but
they found it no easy task .to gratify
her tremendous vanity or to avoid her
furious temper. The best and last of
these nobles who won her fleeting af-
A . fections was the
* "°,yal young carl of

sex. He was at
21 an accomplished soldier and cour-
tier. That he really loved Elizabeth
is very doubtful. Bit he was ambi-
tious and jumped at so dazzling a
chance for advancing his own inter-
ests. At heart he was honest and im-
pulsive. It was not as easy for him
as for his predecessors to keep on
good terms with the cranky old queen
and to soothe her ill-humor with pret-
ty speeches. In fact, so tiresome did
he find the royal flirtation that he
tried fo amuse himself more once fcy
making love to her majesty's maids of
honor. Rut this was perilous pastime.
For Elizabeth was as jealous as she
was vain.
Court life wearied young Essex.
Wars, explorations and other sorts
of adventure were going on all about
him. Rut Elizabeth would ntt let him
take part, in any of these expeditions.
She could not bear to have hiin out
of her sight. He loved excitement and
ound existence dreary at the palac?
So in 1587, when be was 22, he slipped
away secretly and joined Drake's fleet
ihat as sailing on Portugal. But
Elizabeth sent a message after the
fleet commanding Essex "at his utter-
most peril'' to come back at once.
Hack he came, angry and chagrined,
in no mood to meet Elizabeth's re-
proaches. In this lood be picked a
quarrel with Sir Charles Blount, on
horn the queen had also deigned to
•ast a favoring eye. He and Blount
i ought a duel, in which Essex was
wounded and disarmed.
Life at the court dragged on for a
while longer. Then Essex fell in love
with the clever widow of Sir Philip
Sydney and married her. The mar-
riage was kept secret for fear of the
queen's wrath. Xo'r was the fear in
vain. When Elizabeth learned of the
wedding she was enraged beyond
measure. Yet such was her fondness
far Essex that she at last pretended
to forgive him, and he was a meas-
ure restored to royal favor. High
honors and offices were showered
upon him. Yet Elizabeth, it seems,
never quite pardoned his crime of dur-
ing to prefer another woman to her-
self. His former power over her was
gone. The end was drawing near. She
no longer forbade him to embark on
dangerous enterprises; but she man-
aged to see that he got scant profit or
glory from such expeditions. Once,
when he protested against a piwo of
manifest injustice on her part, Eliza-
beth publicly
boxed his ears,
and with a volley
of profanity bade him "go to the
devil." This scene killed any linger-
ing trace of affection between the
two. For Essex was not the sort of
man to endure such an insult or to
kiss the hand that dealt the blow.
In 1599 he was made lord lieutenant
of Ireland and sent to quell an upris-
ing in that country. He failed to car-
ry out tr • mission, and on his return
was deprived of his titles and jmt un-
der arrest. Soon he was s«* free, but
forbidden to come to court, lie now
tasted all the bitterness of a fallen
favorite of fortune. The wealth, high
offices and power lavished upon him
by Elizabeth were snatched away. He
had sacrificed his youth, his indepen-
dence, his ambitions—all for nothing
To a man like Essex such a fall
from favor was Intolerable. Misfor-
tune turned his brain. Instead of ac-
cepting his ill-luck gracefully the mis-
guided man actually tried to stir up a
revolution. He was captured and con-
demned to death. On February 21,
1001, the sentence was carried out
Essex was beheaded. He was only
34. Hut for his unfortunate affair with
the queen he might have won perman-
ent greatness and fame.
Elizabeth is said to have been dis-
tracted with grief and remorse at her
former favorfte's death and to have
reproached herself bitterly for her
treatment of the young earl. She sur
vlved him by enly two years.

SEASON'S FIRST
SNOW IN SHAWNEE
A FALL OF THE "BEAUTIFUL"
CAME WITH COLD SNAP, BUT
DIDN'T TARRY.
"Snow!"
Doesn't sound familiar, but there
is no cli-puting the fact, because yes-
erday morning, shortly after 9
o'c'ock the real article l ogan to fall,
the first of the season, and there
were flurrle3 during the course of
the day. It was not sufficiently
heavy to cover the ground with a
whit«J shroud, and if it had have
been, would probably have been
piled in drifts, because there was a
high wind blowing.
The first harbinger of the snow
storm was felt when the mercury
began to flirt around the zero mark,
the wind shifted to the north, and
a real norther was on. The mercury
showed no upward tendency until
late in the afternoon, and the rise
was so small that it was scarcely
felt.
However, the weather has greatly
modified, and the promise is made
that there are no more cold waves in
sight. It was the first cool wave
felt in this section since the early
part of January.
A heavy cold in the lungs that was
expected to cure itself has been the
starting point in many cases of dis-
ease that ended fatally. The sensible
course is to take frequent doses of
BALLARD'S HOREHOUND SYRUP.
It checks the progress of the disor-
der and assists nature to restore nor-
mal conditions. Price 25c, iOc and

You Have to Feed
Your Cows
Why not buy the best
and Cheapest Feed?
PROTEIN is the most valuable element contained
in Animal foods.
COTTON SEED MEAL contains more PROTEIN
than any other known feed stuff.
Bulletin No. 10 of the Oklahoma Board of Agricul-
ture gives OUR COTTON MEAL 43.01 per cent PRO-
TEIN and 8.75 FAT, a total of 51.76 per cent of flesh and
fat producing properties.
From the same analysis we find it would take—
460 LBS. No. 1 corn and oat chops to equal 1.00 lbs
of Cotton Seed Meal in feeding value.
360 LBS. clean, coarse wheat bran to equal 100 lbs of
Cotton Seed Meal in feeding value.
500 LBS. corn meal to equal 100 lbs of Cotton Seed
Meal in feeding value.
And then—Meal and Hulls are Cheaper!
The following dealers can furnish you meals und
