Found Where Noah Lived

K. V. Willard. who now resides in
Indianapolis, has been for several
years studying the archaeology of
Egypt. For the last year, until his
recent return to this country he was
engaged in making excavations at
various places on the Nile, especially
at GiZeh. in the neighborhood of the
great Pyramid of Cheops.
Il have discovered during the last
three years. said Mr.. Willard. "just
where Noah lived, where the ark was
built, and that Noah built the great
Pyramid of Khufu, known as the Pyr
amid of Gizeh.
Noah was the greatest king this
world has ever seen. He was the
greatest of the Egyptian Pharaohs.

Crow Lived Many Years

George McCarren, farmer living
near this city. has just received a
much priced little aluminium plate
marked as follows: Return to
George McCarren, Orrville, Ohio"
with which an interesting story is con-
nected.
George McCarran, Sr., father of the
man who received the little billet of
aluminium. was an eccentric natural
list, and spent much time in the study
of birds aud insects. During McCar-
rens youth, about twenty years ago,
he says he remembers being told by
his father, the elder McCarren, of a
dispute the latter had had with fell
low naturalist of Akron. Ohio, as to
the age to be attained by a common
crow, and finally to settle the matter
McCarren attached ar aluminium tag
to crow captured in the fields and
sent the bird forth with the plate Sc
curely fastened to it's neck by wires.

And we saw gaunt cannon frownlnS IN
the barracks the shore.
And the sunset gun would thunder that
the summer day was er.
And we saw bright sabres glisten meath
big mellow harvest moon,
AS we heard the StalWart soldiers piping
up a rousing tune.
And the naughty horses hoofbeats cat
tefing upon the way.
And the neighine and the prancing OF the
chestnut and the bay.
And big raw "recruities" drilling with an
awkward. clumsy grace.
And the spruce and brisk young captain
with the bronzed poetic face,
And the juggling of the harness as the

Sammy StarsanSripes, the soldier was
the apple OF our eye.
On the old Chicago river, tossing on it's
barren bed.
Flowing with n grisly shivef with its
cargo of the dead.
Twisting like Il hungry scorpion as ii rip

ChOked with drowned men nd suicides
plunsing in obivions frown.
What's the use of always roaming like an
eagle DER the sea,
Questng like a Swarthy gypsy Ger the
green sward frank and free.
Take me back to old Chicago, for my
heart is sick for home,
l can't stand dark alien faces scowlng
cross the sundering foam.
Take me back to old Chicago. far across
the sunderng sea.
Let me get in touch with IIalsted-Bubbly

Every man brags of his birthplace-Chi-
cago is the town for me.
Oh, you big old clumsy city, sprawing
round the inland sea!

Sums Were Too Expensive.

A teacher in an uptown school re.

planning parent few days ago: "Sir:
Will you please for the future give my
boy some eesier somes to do at mites.
This is what he brought home to or
three MES ago: If fore fiallins of bere

pint and half bottles will nine gall
Inns fill? Well, we tried and could
make nothing of it at all, and my boy
cried and sed he wouldn't go back
without doing it. So had to go and
buy nine-gallin key of bere, which J.
could i'll afford to do, and then we went
and borrowed a lot of wine and brandy
bottles, besides few we had by US.
Well, we emptied the key into the bot.

boy put that down for an answer. I
don't know whether it is rite or not,
AS we split some in doing it. P. S.
Please let the next one be water, as

anything should happen to the bird.
AS McCarren Jr., remembers it, the
two men made bet as to whether
the plate would be returned within
twenty years. II the crow were killed
or died they counted on the little bill

dress on the plate. If this we're not

that time; hence he won the bet. The
crow was shot by farmer boy named
Anglers in Holmes county last week.
and the billet returned to the son of
the bettor. the elder McCarren having
died before he could realize the pro-
ceeds and the satisfaction of winning
his wager. The little billet is highly

she cooed to the poodle and asked:
