An ancient legend tells us that one
day as Orpheus, son Of Apollo and the
muse Calliope, was walking by the sea
trilling In soft cadence song taught
him by the celebrated teacher Limos,
he was attracted by the sound Of sweet
music. which seemed but the echo OF
his own glorious voice. He walked
along, singing, and the sound ap-
preached, as II 10 meet him, till finally
II sang at his very feet.
Glancing down, he saw the shell OF a
turtle. which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the receding waves The little thing
had died and dried up so that only the
sinews, shriveled to strings, and the
shell remained. The dried up sinews
were tightly stretched across the hol-
low she'll. and the wind, as II listed,
touched the strings, causing them to
vibrate over the shell sounding board
and give forth the sweet, sad tones.
Enchanted he bore his treasure home
and from II fashioned the viol shell.
with which he ever after accompanied
his voice, and the nymph Eurydice, en-
chanted by its magic. became his bride.

A party of Rock Island railroad Off

pleted the survey from Liberal to Clay
ton have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness for cross-section
