INDEPENDENCE HALL.


Richard McWilliams. n shoemaker
and a poor man by his own rating, has
presented rare picture to the collec-
ton in independence hall. 1t is one
of the four known copies OF the Krim-
mel engraving of Independence hall in
1875 perhaps the rarest engraving of
that building.
The very existence of the engraving
was unknown to the commission which
recently restored Independence hall un-
til small outline of it was discovered
in an old almanac. The importance of
the picture to the architects planning
the restoration was realized, and a
widespread thorough search among
collectors revealed only three copies.
One copy was borrowed, and to it Ar
chitect Stacy Reeves was indebted for
many details of the old statehouse
which could have been learned from no
other source.
The other day plainly dressed man
of 80 walked into the office of Superin-
tendent S. S. Reeves and surprised him
by presenting a richly framed copy of
the much longed for engraving. The
donor was Richard McWilliams of 1918

This little yarn which has been pub
lished by not few of the state papers
which come to our table tells its own
tale. A Nebraska minister, to test the
effect of prosperous times upon his con-
gregation asked. "All in the house
who pay their debts, stand up" In
stantly every man, woman and child,
with one exception, rose to their feet
He seated the crowd and said, Let
every man who is not paying his debts,
stand mp" The exception noted-a
carewarn, hungry individual, clothed
in his last summers suit, slowly as
sumed a perpendicular position, and
leaned upon the back of the seat in
front of him. 'How is it, my friend, :"
inquired the minister, "that you are the
only one in this congregation who is
unable to meet his obligations?" 81

piled, land my bretheren here who just
stood up are my subscribers, and

Indians wouldn't Use a Bed.

Thomas o. McGill. who few weeks
ago returned from a Sojourn at Butte,
Mon, 1.eaking of tie Indians of
northern Montana, said: "A party of
five came down to Butte on a revenue
lawsuit while l was there. and they
certainly were about the finest Indians
/ ever saw. Not one of them was less
than feet inches in height and well
built. They had on their paint and
feathers and cut great swell, or at
least thought they did. They staid at
one of the leading hotels, and the first
morning after their arrival there was
considerable amusement among the
other guests on the discovery that the
redskins. true to their instinct had
scorned the comfortable beds of the
hotel and had climbed out on the roof
of one of the hotel buildings. where
they slept with just their blankets
over them. They couldn't get those
bucks TO sleep in a bed. Every night.
no matter how cold. they climbed out
ON the roof and went to sleep"

Not counting the national capital
there are A towns and cities bearing
the name Of Washington. No doubt
more communities would have thus
honored the memory OF the father OF
his country but for the prohibition of
the postofiice department OF more than
one postoffice OF the same name in a
state. There is in nearly every state a
county called Washington. But the
most popular use of the name has
come TO light in the pension bureau.

Probably the Last of Andree.

The announcement that the brother
OF Andree, the aeronaut, has opened
the latter's will signifies that he gives
up the hardy adyenturer as lost. He
said some time ago that II the balloon
ist did not return by the end of the
season lately closed he would abandon
confidence in his safety. His idea was
that the explorer would return via Brit
fish America and that the journey
would require three years. As Herr
Andree has been in the past one Of
the stoutest believers in his brothers
temperance. the rest of the world viii
now probably agree that It Is next to

EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS.

State Superintendent, L. ID. Harvey,
has arranged to send a State Institute
Conductor from one of the State Nor
NAL Schools into the county for weeks
work under the direction of the County
Superintendent. During the week the
conductor will visit schools in the
county, with the County Superiatend-
ent, and will address meetings of tSose
interested in the common schools, at
the places and on the dates named be-
low. An earnest invitation is extended
to teachers, members of school boards,
patrons of the schools, and all others
who are interested in improving the
| conditions of the common schools
This opportunity for the Conductor
to visit the district schools and observe
the conditions under which the work is
carried on will aid him. and through
him, the school from (which he comes,
to better understand the needs of these
schools, and will bring the normal
schools into closer touch with the
country schools. This is one of the
chief reasons for undertaking this
work.
The Conductor will address those in
attendance at the meetings upon the
following subjects
Improvement in the teaching where
needed, and how it may be secured"
This will involve consideration of
the advantages of the County Training
School for country teachers, where such
school is needed, and will make clear
the small expense to the county, in
volved in the maintenance of such q
school.
Economy and efficiency in the con
solidation of small schools, and the
transportation of children to and from
the central school when necessary, at
public expense"
The discussion of this topic will show
what is being done in this state in this
direction, and what has been accom-
plished in other states. 1t will make
clear the possibility of better schools
without increased expenditures.
The possibility of securing instruc-
ton III the elements of agriculture and
in domestic economy for the country
boys and girls through county schools
OF agriculture and domestic economy,
and through instruction in the district
| schools"
The discussion of this topic will bring
out what is being done in other states
and countries, what is needed in Wis
consin, and what it is possible to do
through the help of the people who are
most directly interested.
These matters interest you person
ally. These meetings are arranged in
your interests. Come out to. them and
hear the address and take part in the
| discussion.

TEACHING BIRDS TO SING.
How CobbIers In Germany Train Canariei
10 Marble sweetly.

Row Cobblers In Germany Tram Canarios
| to MARBLE sweetly.
Germany's fame IL music extends
even 20 the feathered tribe-those soft,
pearly, mellow notes that you hear
emanate from the throat of the Ger
man canary. All our best canaries
come from that country, but they de-
generate very rapidly over here, so
that after a few generations they sing
In that high, shrill, piercing voice
with which we are all too familiar.
That charming quality which seems to
surprise you is the result Of centuries
of cultivation, and the story or how
1t is accomplished is really very inter-
esting to one familiar with 1t.
The little town of Andresberg, in the
Hartz mountains, is the great canary
center of the world, and all of our best
songsters are imported from that
region. For generations the obscure
cobblers whereabouts have inherited
the business of raising canaries along
with the trade of repairing boots and
shoes, and they all have curious rude
| devices for training their little fedg-
lings into the various notes for which
| they are distinguished. Every autumn
a large fair is held, and premiums OF
considerable value given the man who
can produce the best singers, or who
has in any way achieved a new variety
of note.
The stock notes are called the roller,
water, flute, and bell. To effect the
| first, a large wooden wheel Is kept
constantly revolving in the vicinity OF
the birds by means Of a pulley and
weights, and against the surface
quill is made to press. This, as YOU
may imagine does not give rise to
very beautiful sound, but the birds
effort to initiate it produces q very
pleasing note, indeed.
The water note is not unlike trill.
The birds are initiated into this by
means of tin pan nailed to post
firmly planted in the ground. Through
a pipe from above water is made to
drop, drop into the pan, and the vibra-
tons thus caused, rendered into bird
language, has quite Patti-like effect.
To gain the flute note, though / do
not see why they should not rather call
it the violin, they rub together two
bits Of waxed end held taut by sort
of rude framework.
The bell note explains itself, and as
the various cobblers have different
bells. it naturally follows that this
variety of note should vary with their
resDectiye birds This is indeed, the
case, and the connoisseurs of that
country can tell by which, particular
dealer bird was raised by the quality
of its bell note. These birds that you
hear will doubtless always retain their
beautiful voices and method. The next
generation, removed from their par
ents' cultivated environment, will not
sing so well, and. in three or four gen.
erations the descendants will screech
and whistle with the best American
canary going.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
