GLASGOW H0ARY WITH AGE.
Scottish Metropolis Was Founded
1900 Years Ago.

We hear a great deal in thes,
days in praise of Glasgow as a truly
model city and of its municipalizint
in the interest of the citizens Of
nearly every public franchise. That
is all true, and Glasgow highly mer
its all praise bestowed upon it. Al
present, however, we would briefly
remind our readers of Glasgow in
the olden time, hundreds of years
before it obtained its present state
of perfection, and of which we now
rarely hear a word.
1t is about 800 years since Glas-
gov was founded by Kentigern or
st. Mungo, but the city did not
amount to much until after the act
of union between Scotland and Eng
land, about 200 years ago. 1t was
that act which enabled the mer-
chant adventurers of Glasgow to
send out their ships to Virginia and
Maryland for cargoes of tobacco
leaf. Thus tobacco manufacture
was the first important foreign
trade and home industry established
by Glasgow enterprise.
Very soon the city became the
center of the tobacco traffic. For a
long time thereafter the tobacco
lords" Of Glasgow in their scarlet
robes and on their own privileged
beat were almost as strongly marked
figures in history as were the mer-
chants of Venice. When the Ameri-
can colonies revolted and the Unit
I'd States republic was established
Glasgow lost its flourishing tobacco
trade, but some of the tobacco
ords," who held heavy stocks, made
enormous fortunes by the rise in
prices. These fortunes formed the
foundation of larger enterprises
elsewhere and the begetting of the
numerous merchant princes" that
Don characterized Glasgow.
When driven from Virginia the
dventurers established trade with
he West Indies, where sugar sue
eeded tobacco as staple of trade
hen came cotton and next coal,
'hich was soon followed by iron.
leantime there had been a continu-
us development of trade with In
ia, with China, with South Amer
"a, with the United States and ulti.
lately with Australia and New
ealand. Till then the Clyde had
cen little better than a stagnant
itch, but Glasgow by degrees
'rmed deep, broad, navigable wa
'rway, and then came commerce
I'D shipbuilding.-Scottis h-Ameri-

Students are Killed

A BigFour special train, carrying
the members of the football team
of Purdue University from La
fayette, was wrecked near River.
side Park Indianapolis, Ind, Octo.
Der Bird. The team was scheduled
to play with the Indiana State
University that afternoon in what
was to have been the star game of
the season in Indiana, and there
were 954 passengers on the train.
Fifteen dead were taken from
the wreck and 40 passengers were
injured, "a of them seriously.
Among the dead were several men,
bers of the Purdue University foot
ball team.
In the collision with a number
of coal cars, the passenger engine
and the first three coaches were
almost totally destroyed. The
first coach was crushed to splin-
ters, the second telesccped and
thrown down an embankment Is
feet high, while the third coach
was overturned and thrown across
the track.
The theories as to what caused
the accident are confusing, each
engineer insisting that he had the
track and did not know OF the
other train. A deep cut prevented
a clear view of the track.

History of the Lance.

Prince Raymond Montecucoli,
one of the most brilliant military
commanders of his day, called the
lance the queen of weapons and also
the most ancient. 1t was used by
the Greeks and Romans and later by
the knights of the middle ages.
Charles VIII. of France seems to
have been the first to introduce a
regular lancer regiment into his ar
my. The corps was abolished by
Henry ~. owing to the difficulty of
finding men to serve. So lancers
disappeared from the French army
until the Napoleonic wars. In the
meantime Frederick the Great, hav-
ing seen the excellent use made of
the weapon by the Poles, had armed
part of his cavalry with the lance
and had ultimately formed regi-
ment of uhlans. After the partition
of Poland in 1907 many Poles en-
tered the French service, and body
of Polish light horse was formed,
which Napoleon in 1909 made into
a regiment of lancers A year later
Napoleon formed a second regiment
of lancers out of part of the royal
Dutch guard. This arming of cav
airy with the lance proved so sue
cessful that Napoleon created more
lancer regiments and attached one
to each division of cavalry. Eng
land did not make any lancer regi.
ments until after Waterloo.

Breaking II to Him Softly.

In a certain law office in New
York city there is a clerk who is
afflicted with occasional fits of stam-
mering. Recently he was sent to
serve some papers on another law
ger. Upon presenting himself be-.
fore the man he had to see he drew
out the papers and tried to make a
few explanatory remarks, but for
all his gagging and coughing not a
word could he utter. The LAWYER
who was to be served was of an iras-
,lble temperament, and he stood the
clerks suffering as long as he
could.
Come, Gomez he finally exclaim-
ed. Are you a process server or
what ?"
"N-n-n-o," gasped the wretched
clerk. "Tm-haw ah-I'm-I'm an
an elo-elocutionist."

Cautious Carrier Pigeons.

The carrier pigeon when travel
ing never feeds. If the distance be
long ii flies on without stopping to
take nutriment and at last arrives
thin, exhausted and almost dying.
If corn be presented to it, it refuses
to eat, contenting itself with drink
ing little water and then sleeping.
Two or three hours later it begins
to eat with great moderation and
sleeps again Immediately afterward.
If its flight has been very prolonged
the pigeon will proceed in this man
ner for forty-eight hours before re-
covering its normal mode Of feed
ing.

Getting Rid of His Horses,

Probably no man ever loved a
horse more than did the late vii.
liam B. Smith of Hartford, Conn.,,
owner of the stallion Thomas JEFF
ferson, one of the best proportional
pieces of horsehesh of his time. De-
probation in real estate values
caused the horseman's affairs to be-
come unsettled, and he failed. While
driving with clergyman, the Rev.
Joseph Waite, in the troub!ous
times he expressed his sorrow at
having to part with number of
promising horses.
GLOW many head have you?"
asked the clergyman.
"Fifteen," replied Mr.. Smith.
Later the Rev. Mr.. Waite met Mr..
Smith and asked him if he had sold
any of his circuit racing horses.
"Oh, yes; got rid of most of
them and have bought colt or two
since"
GLOW many horses have you
now?" inquired the clergyman.
"Only twenty-five" replied Mr..
Smith.

FAMILIAR CUSTOMS.
Things We Do That Had a Different
Significance Originally.

1t is most surprising what mum.
Der of little things we do without
knowing the reason. Why, for in
stance, do widows wear caps? Per-
haps you may say because they
make them look pretty and interest
ing. But the real reason is that
when the Romans were in England
they shaved their heads as a sign of
mourning. Of course a woman
couldn't let herself be seen with a
bald head, so she made herself a
pretty cap. And now, though the
necessity of wearing it has passed
away, the cap remains, says Lon
don magazine.
What is the meaning of the cross
es or KS on barrel Of beer? They
signify degrees of quality nova
days. But originally they were put
on by the ancient monks as a sort Of
trademark. They were crosses in
those days and meant sort of oath
on the cross sworn by the manufac-
turer that his barrel contained good
liquor.
Why are bells tolled for the dead?
This has become so familiar a prac-
tice that a funeral without it would
appear Christian. Yet the rea-
son is quite barbarous. Bells were
tolled long ago when people were
being buried in order to brighten
away the evil spirits who lived in
the air.
Why do fair ladies break a bottle
of wine on the ship they are chris
tening? Merely another survival of
berbaric custom. In the days of sac
rifice to the gods it was customary
to get some poor victim when boat
was being launched and to cut his
throat over the prov so that his
blood baptized it.
Why are dignitaries deafened by |
salute when they visit a foreign |
port? 1t seems a curious sort of |
welcome, this firing off of guns, but
it appears the custom arose in a
very reasonable way. Originally
town or a war ship fired off its
guns on the approach of important
md friendly strangers to show that
t had such faith in the visitors
peaceful intentions that it didn't
hink it necessary TO keep its guns
Oaded.

You can purchase with gold,

Why dwell in hid-away corner,
When the world might be lauding

The kings on the throne
All live to be known.
And you might as we'll do the some.
Charm the world by the spell OF your

Though you grind on the face Of

Never dream there is comingan hour.
When conscience will croak at your

Why care for disgrace?
Take the lead in the race.
All depends on success, to be surel
Gid the front Of your life to a glitter.
Wear diamonds and gold and smile.
Though your fountain OF life be bitter;
Your cash will all defects beguile,
Since everyone knows
The man by his clothes:
Better dead than be out of the style.
Never look to the goal OF your going
While all fares we'll in the strife.
There is glory in making a showing.
