monuments ever erected to the mem
DRY of any individual. 1t is over the
grave of William II. Reighter. The

Mr.. Reighter rs he was attired when
stricken with heart disease. Mr..
Reighter was ditch contractor and
prominent in his locality. 1t was on a
rainy day that death came, and he was
we'll prepared for the weather. He was
wearing a broad brimmed hat, mack
intosh over his suit of clothes and his
trousers legs We're in his rubber boots.
The members of the family, wishing to
remember him as he looked when last
he babe them goodby, employed man
about the same size and build as Mr..
Reighter to have his photograph taken
in the clothes last worn by the de-

Where Drums Came From.

Drums are probably an eastern idea
introduced by the Crusaders into Eu-
rope. They are frequently mentioned
in the accounts of the first crusade.
When Edward Ill. of England and his
queen made their triumphal entry into
Calais in 1917, "tambours" or drums
were among the instruments which
were played in their honor. Another
Of these was called a ''nacaire" or ket-
tledrum, taken, together with it's name,
from the Arabs. The poet Chaucer
also mentions this instrument in his
description of the tournament in "The
knights Tale"
The king generally kept troop of
these bandsmen or minstrels in his en-
ploy, and we read that Edward II. or
one occasion gave sum of GO shillings
to Roger, the trumpeter; Janino, the
nakerer, and others for their perform
ances Another minstrel was called
the "cheveretter," or player ON the bag,
pipe.

The suicide of Hannibal.

Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fled to
the east to avoid falling into the hands
of the Romans and found temporary
security in the dominions of Mithri-
dates He melted this monarch to en-
gage in Roman war, and, his advice
as to it's conduct being rejected the
war proved unsuccessful, and Mithri-
dates was required as one of the con-
ditions of peace to deliver up Hannibal
to his enemies, the Romans. The I'M
fortunate Carthaginian heard of his ap-
preaching fate, swallowed the poison
which for years he had carried about
his person and expired just as the en-
voys arrived to take him in charge.

BACK FROM THE FIRE.

the Horses Standpoint.
And after it was all over-when the
red and yellow flames had ceased to
dance in the empty window spaces,
when only the white steam smoke
rolled up through the yawning roof
notes.-the ladders We're reshipped, you
left the purring engines to drown out
the last hidden spark, and you went
prancing back to your house, where the
lonesome desk man waited patiently
for your return.
No Looping rush was the homeward
trip. The need for haste had passed.
Now came the parade. You might toss
your fancy steps. The driver didn't
care. In fact, he rather liked to have
you show off a bit. The men on the
truck, smutty of face and hands, joled
across the ladders. The strain was
over. 1t was time of relaxing, for
behind was duty we'll done.
Then came the nice accuracy of
swinging a sixty foot truck in a fifty
foot street and of backing through a
fourteen foot door wheels Which span
ned thirteen feet from hub rim to hub
rim.
After unlocking there We're the rub
bling and the extra feeding of oats that
always follow Il long run. How good
it was to be bedded down after this

SUFFER FROM PARASITES.
10 Which Animals Become
Subject.

All animals, both great and small.
suffer as severely as mammals in the
matter of parasites, according to Les
lies Monthly. The parasite or the Os-
trich is formidable looking example
The most interesting of the pigeons
parasites is the one known as the slen-
der pigeon louise, which Is supposed to
do good service to the bird by thinning
its body plumage as the weather grows
hot. Fish also have parasites. The
legs of one variety which fnhabits the
carp and pike are attached to the pos
terror part of its anatomy, and consti-
tutes paddles by means of which the. or
ganism can change its host and depart
to pay its attentions to another fish.
Two dark spots in the forepart OF
the creature represent the first pair OF
legs, which have been converted into
suckers, by means Of which the organ
ism retains hold of its host. There Is
good reason to believe that this pike
louise" is not a parasitic torment, but
rather a desired attendant. In all prob
ability it derives its nourishment from
the mucous products secreted by the
skin of the fish. And when 1t has sat-
isfactorily arranged the toilet Of one
fish it abandons it for another which
needs its help.

GEOGRAPHICAL FRIENDSHIPS,
Those Which Depend AltOgetheF Up
on Being Located i'm the same
Neighb 0rhOOd.

A true friend, of course, is one
whose bodily presence, agreeable
though it be, is not essential to the
continuance of the relation, says the
Weeks Progress. Such one we meet
after a ten years separation with as
little awkwardness as if we had parted
yesterday We need not even write
to each other, except as we desire 10
know the facts of daily progress or
retrogression and satisfy our pride in
the others achievements or express
our verbal sympathy over his dlsap-
pointments Such friendships are few,
one or two for every man or woman
who is capable of deep feeling. and
that is usually all But there is Il
larger minor grade of friendships that
are based upon prOpinquity. The man
we chum with because we go to the
same college, or travel with on the
same train or boat, or stop with at the
same hotel, or sit near in the same
Office, or chat with at the same club be-
longs 10 this geographical class. Some
one of him may become deeper
friend, but as a rule our relation with
him depends entirely upon certain
common interests, business, social or
Intellectual, and does not extend be-
yond the qualification or the desire to
talk TO or merely be some one who will
not jar. That desire, truly, is tlre foun-
dation of all the common human in
terreiations; without it, social rela-
tons would be purely sporadic.
