manned with them, but had not parti-
cipated in any of their numerous raids.
The Wickham boy said that as soon
as they had got out of town the man
threw big overcoat over him which
completely covered him. and told him
he would shoot him if he cried. When
ne got to the cave he told them he
wanted to see his mother, and a big
negro told him he was going to be his
mother for a few days. When asked
who the leader was he said all Of them
except the black man. He said that he
was well treated and that he wasn't
scared. Charles Patterson, who Jor-
dan says is the leader Of the band, is
the son Of well-to-do parents. His
father is a prominent politician of
Hendricks county. Since the murder
of Hiram Mcdonald, last August, in
which he was implicated, his where
abouts have been unknown. He is a
desperate character and will doubtless
fight hard for his liberty. Mr.. Wick
ham has offered reward of $100 each
for the kidnappers. dead of alive.
Guilty OF Many Crimes.
For many months this county has
been infested by an organized gang of
lawlbreakers, whose depredations may
be counted by the score. They have
committed almost every crime punish
able by the statutes of the state of
Indiana. So thorough has been their
organization and so bold their plans of
operation that the local authorities
have been completely baffled in their
numerous attempts to bring the Offend
erS to justice.
Thorntown, ten miles west of here,
has been the scene of most of these
occurrences. Only a few nights ago the
residence of Major Morris Watson was
entered by two masked men and Mrs.
Watson was compelled to get up out
of bed and escort the bold intruders
about the house during their search
for valuables. The audacity displayed
by the villains on this occasion Is Won
derful.- After they had searched the
house and prepared to leave the terror
stricken woman was subjected to insult
of the most atrocious character. After
they had left Mrs. Watson, who was the
only occupant of the house, suffered
q severe shock of nervous prostration
and has been in a critical condition ever
since. 1t is feared that the shock has
unbalanced her mind. Every means
possible have been resorted to in the
attempt to locate the guilty wretches,
but in vain, until this last outrage led
to the discovery of the den.

crowd upon us like stars on the steadfast
gaze of the astronomer.
We may animate the marble with the
features of man we venerate; we may
make the ruling passion Of his soul ap-
parent on his brow; we may give the
countenance that peculiar cast which
calls up tender recollections; but just lay
your hand on this faultless resemblance;
the clay of the grave is not colder;
it is death with its icy chill. But COM
nit this departed saint to the hands of
you see the whole man, not in cold
marble, but in real existence.
1t is said that the power poetry has over
the human mind is due partly to the
sound itself, but in a greater degree to
the associations it brings up. Indeed,
association is a more important factor
than the rhythm or the beauty of the
ideas. Would poem about some foreign
country that we have never seen and Of
which we know but little, have as much
interest for us as one about our own
native land? think not. In the former
no tender recollections would be brought
to our minds, while in the latter every
line would bring up personal experiences,
and every word in that poem would be
dear to us because past associations
would crowd into our minds, and every
thing would be real.
Who is there that has not had his very
soul touched by some tender song or bal
lad? Who has not felt that to be the
author of such piece Of poetry would
be the fulfillment of great desire of his
heart? Poetry in its form appeals more
to nature than prose, it is more pleasing,
and seems to rouse up the fire in our souls
as it brings out and seems to coincide ex-
actly with feelings that we now have or
have experienced at some time. Some
mothers, instead of singing to their chill
dren, repeat little scraps of poetry to
them as they rock them to sleep at night;
and as the tender lines fall upon the ear,
the little one is luHed to sleep and pleas
ant dreams. And as the child grows old
er he will love poetry more and more,
especially the poems his mother used
to recite to him, and he will, without
doubt, be better and nobler man.
In Longfellow's poem 1.-THE Day is
Done" all persons who have had care
and sorrow have doubtless had the same
feelings as are expressed in these few
lines:
Come, read to some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay
That shall sooth my troubled spirit,
And Danish the thoughts of day.

self, and if our thoughts are pure our
words must surely be.
Then the question comes to us, why do
smiles make more of an impression than
tears? The reason is not far to seek.
This world is a selfish world, everybody
has his share of trouble and is so much
occupied with his own trials that he does
not care to listen to his neighbours
trouble; therefore, when some one comes
to him for comfort, he turns away, and no
help is derived from him.
But smile is always welcome; smile
betokens person free from complaining
and sorrow, but the one that smiles is
the one that listens, comforts and helps
the sad over the rough places.
In undertaking to live life of sun
shine, one must have great deal of
patience. If we have patience we have
time to think and act more charitably.
Sunshine dispels gloom and the dark
ness of night. Sunshine also dispels
gloomy thoughts from the mind.
"The prisoner in his cell hailed with
delight the struggling ray of sunlight
which crept through the barred window
of his close, dark room, and blessed the
feeble effort of that tiny sunbeam to
brighten his life
In early springtime we Can learn les
son from the birds; they are always
lively and happy, singing as they build
their nests and making their work seem
play. Why should not we be happy at
our work as well as the birds? Nature
smiles upon US very often; then why
should we not smile back?
Sunshine will prove to us weapon
against the dark and difficult path of life.
This is the best weapon for us because it
is the one God gave us. He is the Light
the stars, rejecting His glory to the
world, and making our eight SO shine
before men, that they shall see the peace
and JOY it brings, and "glorify our
Father which is in heaven
1t is important that we should cultivate
our nature, for it will not only prove a
happiness, but the effort put forth in the
desire to gain it will give us strength of
character; it will broaden our minds,
after struggling with our morbid natures,
it will give us will-power to stand against
the temptations of the world.
The source from which this sunshine is
derived is God. He placed the sun in the
sky; He helps us to be sunshiny; He is
the greatest, grandest and most sub
stantial source.
Sunshine is an element of love, and

come all the difficulties which may arise
in our path through life.
May we do everything that we under
take to do thoroughly, recognizing the
value and truth of the old maxim
"Whatsoever is worth doing, is worth
doing we'll"
May all our undertak ings and deeds be
such as shall do our teachers credit, that
they may never have cause to disapprove
of US.
We have had the opportunity Of get
ting good education at the academy; if
we have not done so it is our own fault,
but may we not be satisfied with the
amount we now possess, but go on ac
quiring knowledge daily, and striving to
equal, If not surprass, those who have
graduated before US; besides, by
gaining knowledge, we also gain power,
for it can be seen by any one that the
educated man is superior to the unedu-
Gated. Every man is endowed with GER
tain amount Of brain power, and if he does
not develop this power he alone is re-
sponsible.

classmates which are to follow this salu-
tation will be both pleasing and interest

THE AMERICAN FLAG AND IT'S
DEFENDERS.
BY HARRY HINCKLEY.

Every nation has chosen flag as
national emblem.
England selected the red, France the
white, Germany the blue, Ireland the
green, China the yellow, and SO on.
America has the red, white and blue
red for valor, white for purity, blue for
union, and on that field of blue floats
forty-four stars, one for every state.
When was our flag instituted? Was it
when Left Ericsson sailed to America in
142S, or when Columbus discovered it in
1892? Was it when Capt. John Smith
settled Jamestown in 1907, or when the
Pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth
Rock in 1920, and established the first
republican form of government that ever
existed?
The flag of these United States was first
brought forward in the war of the revo-
luton, and the first flag of this country
was unfurled at Cambridge, Mass, Jan.
2, 1875. This flag consisted of thirteen
stripes and British union.
On the 18th of April, 1777, the first stars
and stripes were flung to the breeze at
Philadelphia, Pa, and similar flag floats
to-day over a much larger country, one
on which the sun never sets-when
the last beam casts its lingering rays on
Alaska, the morning rays shine on the
coast of Maine.
But when did our defenders begin their
duty? They began when that settlement
was made on Plymouth Rock and con-
tinue to this day, and will do so forever.
How did they conduct themselves in
King Williams, Queen Mary's and the
old French and Indian wars?
The war of the revolution opened with
the battles of Concord and Lexington,
the 18th of April, 1775, and America won
the first battle in which she was engaged
for herself. On June II, 1875, Col. Pres
colt met the British at Bunker Hill. He
was defeated, to be sure, but the greatest
of courage was shown. There the British
advanced twice and We're repulsed. The
third time the Americans could not meet
them with shot and shell because their
powder was all gone, but they met them
with the butts of their muskets.
Ethan Allen advanced on Ticonderoga
and surprised the sleeping general and
captured large amounts of cannon and
stores, and escaped without the loss Of
man. The bravery of the American SOL
der was shown on Dec. 25, 1875, when
Washington and Green crossed the Della
ware in a driving storm of sleet, and fell
on the British and Hessians in the midst
of their Christmas festivities, captured
one thousand prisoners, slew their leader,
and returned with the loss OF only four
men, who were frozen to death; these,
surely, were true defenders of our flag and
country
One year after this came that terrible
winter of 1777 and '7S, so well-known as
the winter of Valley Forge. The men
were half-starved, half-clothed, with no
pay, and their bare feet left tracks OF
blood on the ground as they walked.
Few had blankets or even straw to sleep
on. Sickness followed, and death was the
only result. But the fires of patriotism
burned very brightly, and from all OF
these sufferings the American soldier did
not finch.
The spring OF rs brought that most
noble of men, Lafayette, and with him
