His Story Would Lead One to Believe

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.

New York, August 9.-Midshipman
Robert Jackson, who has been mis-
sing since week ago last Friday
when he left his ship, the Missouri
then lying in the North River has
been located by his father IN Quebec
He was working to make enough
money to return to his ship. He has
gone to the Missouri at Bar Harbor
Maine, with his father.
Jackson says his actions are unac-
countable to him. AS if he were in
a trance, he says, he wandered away
from New York. When he recovered
his senses and realized the serious
ness of his situation, his first thought
was to secrete himself until he had
made money enough to return to his
ship and prove his honor. He is pre-
pared to meet whatever punishment
may be imposed and declares his only
excuse is that the first few days after
he left his ship are blank to him. A
suggestion of desertion on his part
excited him with Indignation, when
his father, d. H. Jackson, and Mid
shipman Court, his chum at Annap-
oils, found him

my sons attitude and statements,
and the facts / learned while trying
to locate him prove conclusively that
his friends were absolutely correct
when they maintained that his charac-
ter and training were such that it
was impossible for him to desert his
ship when in his sense
When young Jackson left his ship
on shore leave with friends, he met
Olga Maxwell, a young woman living
in West Sixty-ninth Street. He did
not return when his leave expired.
On, the Monday following his disap-
pearance a general alarm was sent out
through the police. The next day the
Maxwell woman reappeared, and said
she had left him that morning in Bos-
ton.

every county at the most suitable
place free high school, worthy the
name, where boys and girls may be
j thoroughly prepared for college. This
| high school could and would furnish
| the majority of your local school
teachers. 1t is the States misfortune
that so many of our youth go to col
lege unprepared, becoming matricu-
lates but not graduates. A larger per
cent of Freshmen should become Sc
niors at all of our colleges. The Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College eStab-
lished by your efforts is doing great
work; it's halls are OVercroWded; us
professors, | am sure, feel themselves
handicapped by the lack of preparation
on the part of many of their pupils.
What is the remedy? The public coun-
ty high school, free to the poorest so
far as tuition is concerned, has not
been provided for, and will not be
until you demand it in earnest. Our
boarding schools for boys making
speciality of preparation for the Uni
Versty and the denominatiOnal col
legeS are full to overlooking. No school
is a special feeder to the Agricultural
and Mechanical College. Would it
not be wise to propose to the trustees
of the A. and M. College that if in
their judgment it is practicable and
desirable to establish an auxiliary agri-
cultural school that we will grant
them the use of this beautiful site al
ready equipped with necessary build
ings, and this fertile farm of sufficient
acres for an indefinite or definite pc
riod, rent free, provided they keep it
in repair, pay taxes and insurance.
and allow us it's use for our annual
meeting in August.
1t would be well for you to appoint
suitable committee to draft an Off
cial petition from this body to the
Congress of our Country in favor of
the Appalachian Reservation Bill now
pending. Nor would it be unWise to
adopt a resolution recommending the
admission free of duty of coal, logs
of wood, and undressed lumber. The
denudation of our forests is appalling,
and while such legislation would be
injurious to a portion of our people
the benefit to the great majority is in
calculable Hoping that our annual
session ma be both profitable and
pleasant and that the blessing of AL
mighty God may rest upon you and
our county l close this my last adj
dress to you.

good service. He advocates fairness
to railroads and declares thai any pre-
judice against them is due to their
conduct. He favors lower rates as the
measure of justice due the public
rather than heavy damages to partie
who sue for injuries. He believes the
railroads should give free passes to all
public officials in return for the fact
that they ARE in possession of millions
of dollars of property for which che
State and the citizens thereof have re-
ceived no adequate value" Better
let public officials pay their fare, Nj.
Graham, enforce and strengthen the
anti free pass law, and reduce freight
and passenger fares
The suggestion in the address that
deserves serious consideration is that
free High School should be estab-
lished in every county seat, which
would furnish most of the teachers fol
our public schools, as well as prepare
the young to enter college and the bus
mess world. There are some counties
where this plan would work well and
we would like to see it adopted and
put in operation.
Mr.. Graham's closing suggestion
that coal, wood and undressed lumber
be admitted free of duty would suit
the great majority of the people, but
the lumber. men, who are making big
money by reason of high prices, will
not take kindly to this free trade sug>
geStiOn.

"Pedluree" of "Fou."

If any Londoner crawling up to
business by train or tram through the
fog turned his idle mind to wonder
ing why 1t was called "fog," he would
probably decide that 1t could not have
been called anything else. "Fog" is
it's obvious name. Yet there is much
speculation among philologists on
this point DR.. Murray's Dictionary
suggests an interesting pedigree. AS
far back as the fourteenth century
fog" meant aftergrass, the rank grass
that sprang up after hay harvest or
grew in the winter, while IN the north
1t meant moss. Then "foggy' came to
mean Doggy; next it was used to
mean bloated or puffy, of the flesh of
men or animals, and, finally, as ap-
piled to ale or air, it meant thick,
and our modern fog was derived back
from this "foggy." Skeat, however,
goes straight to the Danish "fog," as
in "snee fog" snowstorm, from
"fyge," to drift The worst of Lon
don fogs is that they do not drift fast
enough.-London Chronicle.

Indian Inventors.

John Eliot, of Rhode Island, pub
lished the first Indian Bible. Indians
had no printed language with letters
before the white man came, rude cary
ings and picture writing being suffici-
enc.
Sequoyah, a Georgia Indian half
breed, invented a perfect alphabet of
over eighty letters for the native
Cherokee language. By his own zeal
he inspired his nation with a love of
written words.
Sequoyah hated the white people
The reason was because his white
father had basely deserted his mother
when Sequoyah was a baby. His
mothers father was proud chief, and
kaere is no doubt that his grandson
inherited his proud spirit
Sequoyah never learned to read or
write a letter in English. His anger
was greatly aroused when he saw any
one of his tribe reading book made
by the whites. Sequoyah declared that
he would make book for his own
people.
He listened for sounds while his
people talked. He became a silent
student, and lost all his old war-like
spirit He sat by his doorway and
made marks on birch bark with ink
made from the juices Of berries. The
people looked on him with wonder and
a great pity, because he would no
longer fight or hunt, nor engage in
any kind Of sports.
At last Sequoyah called council.
He wrote on the bark and gave the
writing to his little daughter, who had
been taught secretly to read by the
new alphabet She read it, and did as
the writing commanded. The test was
tried many times, and caused great
excitement The young men forgot
hunting and war for letter writing,
while the missionaries adopted the
letters and made Bible for their stu
dents The Cherokees became civilized
in a short time. The first printing
press sent to an Indian tribe was sent
In 1920 by the United States govern
mept to the Cherokees. The type was
cast in Cherokee characters, the same
that Sequoyah had invented.

The Happiest Little Boy.

Guess who was the happiest child

own two little boys on his knees.

No. said papa "he wasn't rich, he
had no candy and no cakes What
do you guess, Joe?
Il guess he was a pretty big boy
who was riding a big, high bicycle, !"
said Joe, who was longing for the
day when he should be big enough to
own bicycle
NO" said papa, "he wasn't big, and
he wasn't riding bicycle. You have
both missed, so I'll have to tell you.
There was flock of sheep cross
ing the city today. They must have
come a long way, for they were very
dusty, tired and thirsty. The drover
took them up, bleating and lolling out
their tongues, to the pump in Hamil-
ton court to give them drink. But
one poor eve was too tired to push
through the crowd to the trough, SO
she lay down on the hot, dusty stones
A half dozen ragged little newsboys
stood watching the sheep. One of
them seeing the poor eve, ran to the
pump and filling his hat with water
brought it to her. The sheep drank
and drank, and the boy kept on bring
ing water to her until she had had
enough"
did the sheep say 'T'ant you,
papa?"
Il didn't hear her." answered papa,
"but she rubbed her head against the
newsboy's ragged trousers, and put her
nose on his hand. The little boys face
looked very happy, and I'm sure he
knows what a blessed thing it is to
help whomever needs helping. -
