She will Keen Her Word

When Grandmother Pettingill makes
up her mind, she is as firm as a rock
nothing can move her. Perhaps it was
on this account that when she returned
from the celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary Of the settlement of
Shrubville and made such determined
declaration, nobody attempted to inf1u-
ence her.
i've been there and it's over with y
she said, land now I'm home safe, after
all the noise and bands and scared
horses and crying children and men
making speeches, l want to tell you one
thing. l sha'n't ever go to another CEN
tennial in Shrubville, no matter what
the circumstances are, and no matter
who asks me. You children may as well
bear that in mind"

pendence so declared involved con-
tinuous war for ten years. Finally, at
the battle Of Carabobo, the Bolivar
forces completely routed the royalist
army, and the freedom of the republic
of Venezuela, bought with the blood of
patriots, was assured. 1t was not until
the year 1916, however, that the Span
ish government acknowledged Venezu-
elias independence, treaty Of peace
being that year signed at Madrid.
The city of Caracas has been twice
entirely destroyed by earthquakes. On
the Goth of March, 1912, two successive
upheavals occurred, each of ten sec
onds' duration. The city was totally de
molished, and more than 10000 people
were buried in the ruins. The greater
number of those who survived perished
from hunger or from the pestilencq
which followed
1t SCENE wonderful that a people
would have the courage to rebuild on
such a spot, but the population to-day
exceeds 10000. In many respects it is
a beautiful place. The streets are wide

on the other. The youngest sat nearest
the fire, where they were as much too
warm as those who sat nearest the door
were too cold. In this little room there
would assemble during the winter term
forty or fifty pupils. OF this number,
one-fourth perhaps would be grown-up,
manageable young men and women,
and frequently married men and wom-
en- attended the school in the winter
term.
"The teacher was, perhaps, one Of the
farmers sons in the district or stu
dent, working his way through college.
The qualification necessary for him to
ability to do any sum in arithmetic; his
compensation was $40 or $12 per month
and board. The last part Of the contract
he obtained by boarding around that
is, he lived a few days in each family
in the district, the length of time in
number Of pupils.
During the winter of 1922 young
Horace attended this school. He lived
with his uncle, Benjamin Robinson,
who owned farm on the bank of the
Contoocook river, mile and a half
from the schoolhouse. This uncle also
owned a saw and grist mill. OF these
buildings those that were not carried
away by freshets have fallen to decay
and disappeared, so there remain only
a cellar hole and few trees which sur
rounded the house, to mark the spot
where once stood happy home and a
business enterprise"

Venezuela takes it's name from the

Humor Is hardly the quality one ex
poets to find on the editorial page Of the
London Times, yet 1t gives a most eff
fective turn to plea for the restriction
of the advertising billboard nuisance.
''Let us think" says the Times, "of the
opening of Gray's 'Elegy,-
The curfew tolls the kuell of parting day;
The lowing herd winds slowly DER the
lea.
The plowman homeward plods his weary
way.
And leaves the world to darkness and
and consider whether such lines could
ever have been written if the poet,
musing in Stoke Pogis churchyard. had
looked In one direction and seen the
lowing herd winding past somebody's
advertisement of a patent oil cake; in
another, and seen the weary plowman
considering whether he should buy
some gaudily Haunted nostrum war
ranted to ease his WEAKNESS: in third,
and spied some garish board offering
him an oil to illuminate the glimmering
landscape as it faded on his sight"

WHERE GREELEY WAS 4 PUPIL
Old School House Where the Great
Editor Studied.

Old School House Where the Great
Editor Studied.
In the town of Bennington, n. H.,
near the southern line, there stands an
old building in which the illustriouS
Horace Greeley once attended schoos
This ancient institution of learning
stands in lone pasture, and surround
ed by grazing sheep and inhabited now
| by bats and owls, it still retains halo
Of respect from those who are acquaint-
ed with its history. The building Is
more than a hundred years old, and
though the outside has fallen in I'D
many places the frame will probably
stand for many years more.
The single apartment is lathed and
plastered, overhead the walls are
sheathed with very wide pine boards
with strips of cloth pasted over the
lrracks, and the whole papered with
newspapers Some of these papers were
found bearing dates as early as 1861,
and underneath these others yelloWed
with age and past deciphering. Two
small windows, one on each side OF the
room, furnish the only light, and door
leading into the narrow entry, the exit.
The huge fireplace has been removed.
One who attended school and after
ward taught in this schoolhouse, many
years ago, thus described it's construc-
ton and the methods employed when
young Horace attended the school, and
for many years after that date:
"On three sides of the room, and close
against the wall, was a low, slanting
shelf, which served as desk for those
who wrote The seats were made Of
slabs inverted, and without backs. The
older pupils sat along the sides Of the
room, the girls on one side and the boys

office Instead of settling their political
battles in Venezuela and in many other
Latin republics with the ballot these
hot-headed Southerners resort to bullets
and generally every change in the occu-
pant of the Presidential chair is marked
by civil strife. The ambition of General
Matos to become President is the cause
Of the present revolution.
The federation Of states which consti-
tute the republic Of Venezuela forms a
country larger in extent than France,
Germany and the Netherlands COM
bined. The eastern part Of the coast
was discovered by Columbus in 1893
and the whole coast the year after. The
first settlement was made in 1920 at
Cumana, which is consequently one of
the oldest cities in the new world.
The rule Of Spain over Venezuela re-
NAMED unchanged until 1906, when
General Miranda headed an insurrec-
ton for the liberation Of the country.
He succeeded in breaking the Spanish
power for a time, but after number of
bloody encounters the rule of Spain was
resumed.
The next important event in Vene-
zuelan history was when Simon Bolivar
undertook and accomplished the lib
Grafton of the people. In July, 1911, the
declaration of independence was signed
in Caracas, the capital, distant some ten
miles from La Guayra, the port Of en-
