And in the same era, there• was the immortal Christy Matthewson, who won three games of a five-game world series test against the Ath- letics, in 1905. He pitched a shut-out in each• game, allowed a total of only 13 safe hits in the three. They really bred 'em tough and durable in those half forgotten~ days. And none tougher than Cy Young.

For 200 Yeari r. • Phillip II of Spaio, who Mar- ried garY Tudor, was a:strange monarch, The French ambassa- dor once said of him; The King is suet', that he would not move or show the slightest change of expression if he had a cat in his breeches!" When he lay dying he ordered that grinning skull with a gold crown upon it be placed where he could see it. Although for tt month, he was in great agony, he fussed. ' about his death and funeral arrangements, even ordering black cloth for the chtirch •draperies. He had' al, ready had his outer coffin made from the timbers of an old gal- leon ,4 He now had, the inner, leaden coffin carried in so that he could see that, too. "Look at me," he • said to his son. this is what; the world and all kingdoms amount to in the end. Some day you will lie here where I lie." He died with the Archbishop of Toledo helping him to hold a lighted candle from the Vi• rgin 'of Montserrat's shrine, while in his other hand he grasped an old wooden cruci- fix which his father, the Emper- or Charles; had also held on his Goble.

V. Morton, who recalls these strange facts in a superb acount of his travels, "A.; Stranger in Spain" also describes a visit to the Escorial's, royal vaults where the. Spanish 'kings 'lie' buried, Phillip IV- would come ..here to pray beside his own tomb, and once had the coffin of his an- cestor, tbe:Emperor Charles, opened so that hen-light see him. P s helf-witted son, Charles II, also, insisted upon opening the coffins, of his pre- deCeessers, and collapsed at the sight of-the once-beautiful Marie Louise, the wife of his youth.„ Promising to join her soon, 'he stumbled up the marble stairs and a few months- later ‘died at thirty-nine, but looking like a man of eighty. At one catacomb visited by Morton was the tomb of Philip II's illegitimate brother Don John of Austria, one of the handsomest men of his time, the son of Charles V and,,a German merchant's daughter; Barbara Blomberg. When Philip learned of - thee existence of his half- brother, who had been brought up secretly as a village lad, he went to him,. took him to court, and gave him a household be- fitting his rank. He became a gallant soldier and admiral, and as he sailed into the., Turkish enemy at the victorious battle of Lepanto, with broadsides crashing, was seen on the flagship's gun plat- form, in a suit of gold armour, dancing a 'jig with two of his of- ficers to the'music fifes. One of his romantic ambitions was to land a Spanish army in England from the Low coun- tries, rescue Mary, Queen of Spots from prison, drive Eliza- beth froni the throne, marry Mary, and rule with leer as King and Queen of England. Instead he died at Namur as governor of the Netherlands, and Phillip, hearing it was his wish, ordered the body to be brought to Spain for burial in the Es- corial. -Cut into three portions and carried in three saddle-bags, it was smuggled across France with a party of returning Span- iards—in order, it was said, to avoid the expense and difficulty of taking a royal body in state across Europe. A strange and tragic figure was jean, daughter of Queen Isabel, who left Spain at seven- teen to marry Philip of Burgun- dy. Intensely jealous; she Went into fearful rages when she stis- pected him Of infidelity. Hie one desire, When they returned to Spain, was to escape from her and the, dull, pious court life, SO lie 'seen departed, leaving her a. prey to torturing thoughts Which eventually turned her brain, The last yeat of rsahei's life Was spent with this hysterical daughter, Who fen into fits of depression or rages, Crazy to go back to Philip,. she tried to ea-- cape fronl a castle in het night dress Mid refused to rettirei to her tooinsi clinging to the ings all day and the next night. in a biting Novernber wind.

And; he did not stop until he came to a bridge. Below hi-in, .,the waters were swirling and foarning. Fox stopped ,and looked down. 'Even the waters were roaring with laughter, rearing with laughter at him: Louder and louder, near- er and nearer. And through it all, 'still' the: Miser': droixek, or; an", ordinary fly. At dawn the next day, a police boat found 'a high hat and a' black opera-Cloak floating,in the= river. Not far away, they found e the body of a man, a man with a flowing black mustache, A fly had decided the billiard championship of the world. And also had decided the life of the man who lost it. And with 'a remarkable run, he went on to win the champion- ship. The crowd howled with joy as the match ended. Louis Fox looked blankly at the outstretched hand of the new champion. He could barely hear the words of the' latter over the din of the crowd. Decry was Saying, "Tough luck, old man, tough luck!" Fox nodded absently, 'turned about, and like a man in a dream, put on his high silk hat and long opera cape and walked out into the street. People and carriages swirled around him but Fox saw nothing but a fly, circling around his head, heard nothing but the drone of its wings and the low bubbling laughter of a great crowd. He walked and walked, faster and faster through the dark ...• PLAIN. HORSE SENSE By F. (BOP) The nature of co-operative 'business is determined by a set of seven pringiples formulated by •the pioneers of Rochdale. The first three of these principles are fundamental. The other four are less important, 'yet if they are not observed cooperative busi- ness generally suffers. The first three principles con- stitute the basic difference be- tween profit 'business tend coop- erative business: We inuet fully grasp them to understand what cooperation can really do for men and society. Democratic Control The first is the principle of democratic control: one Man one vote. liegardless ,of how many shares a man owns'in a 'cooper- ative business, he has no more say in the running of the cone 'cern than - the man with one share. This' le' a distinct. jolt to minds accustomed to. business as we heve.elenOWri it.' "After all," they reason, "the mate Who puts in the most money, ghould have the most say," • In governnient business, how- ever, which after all, is the big- gest and most important business of the country, the vote of the rich man does not count for any more, and is no better than the vote of the poorest man Who has the franchise. This condition is taken for granted today, although it was For many men sports fame has paid off in glory and rich re- wards, but for others the road to greatness has led only to bitterness and despair, defeat end death. WdShington Hall in Rochester, New York, was jammed to the rafters on the night of Septem- ber 7, 1865 A chattering, ex- citing crowd anxiously awaited the beginning of the billiard match that was to decide the championship of the world as pandemonium reigned outside the hall wheee thousands were storming the- already • locked doors. The match .was to be be- tween LonieFex and JohneDeeeryi and the meeting-was,the second between the two 'men. A year. -before, the:1Wei -Men had met but their 'cliarriPionship match bad ended • ine a tie, the only championship, tie one record. New, again, they were to meet to decide the undisputed champ= kinship of the world. And the stake was 840;0001 Both men „were wizards with the cue. The crowd sat and watched' with strange faecina- Jim, hushed to a frozen silence. Louis Fox was at the tabfe. He .nursed the Maieblivered Them into position. ' He pasbed the hundred mark, then two hundred, three hUndred. His billiard cue was touched . with magic. Deery battled- ; but Louis Fox seemed to have cOMplete mastery of the' match. He had taken a commanding lead, and a championship and ' a fortune dangled at the• tip of his billiard cue. The match was practically over. It was late at night and the room was filled with smoke, the air heavy'with tension, Only one easy shot remained fer'eLouis Fe* to win. The craved, as, one man, leaned forward in tingled CHE May beWarninq expectancy. Fox, with a swag- ger, walked around the table" stndying the position of the balls before he made the final play to end the contest. Idly, he twist- ed his floWing mustache. Decry stood gloomily off in a corner, looking like a man executed. In, the frozen stillness of the hall, there was suddenly heard' pe droning buzz of a fly's wings. And out of the haze of tobacco smoke a fly appeared, circled the table, and, landed squarely on top of the cue ball. Louis Fox• -smiled, lay down his stick, and, with his hand, shooed the fly away. Again he sighted' the ivories and prepared to shoot. The- fly circled over the table, and again landed squarely on the billiard ball. A nervous laugh Nee from some spectator, and a titter ran through the au- dience: But champion Louis Fox, unruffled, again put down his cue, and shooed the fly away with his hand. The tittering died away., Louis Fox took up his cue and 'bent over the table. The fly described an arc above. FoX'S" head, swooped and again settled on the cue ball. A sudden roar •of:pent-up laughter, swept through the excited crowd. Soon. the walls reverberated with the deafening roars and high-pitch- ed: cackles of laughter. For a Second, the calm and confident Fox lost his; usual aplomb. With a muttered curse,' he stabbed out at the fly with his billiard kick. 'Accidentally he grazekthe cue ball. The ball aimlessly rolled a few inches over the green cloth, And the fly vanished. But Fox had lost his chance • for lie had miscued by touching the ball. And it was Deery's turn to shoot now. Fox staggered back from the table and stood against the wall like a man of stone. His opponent stepped up to the table. He made shot after shot, playing surely and quickly.

We. have long accepted the conclusion that this is the only way to run a democratic society., The Rochdale pioneers have taught us 'that' it' IS also the right way to run our economic society. Thug is the :first Prin- ciple most impoetant, for it cuts off 'the Possibiliter of any. design.; ing,.group ever getting a hold upon the economic lives of the people. •' Men Above Money The second fundamental prin- ciple is a fixed rate of interest On money invested in the busi- ness. This, Mc, appears to be a very simple principle, Yet it bag a deep philosophical significance; it strikes at the very roots of ec- onomic practices. It differenti- ates cooperation from all known economic Procedures. It pate wages to men above wages to money and machines. It puts human personalities above •any materialistic consideratiOn. The usual form of profirbusi- hese is the joint stock company.
