mirabiy. Thfs is q very interest
in book fer lad to write-in
fact. it is the most interesting book
Of travels I have read for long
time. would advise energetic
boys 10 get this book and read it;
not to stimulate them to travel, but
to lives of industry and usefulness.
II would be q good book to place
| in the Will hayfeld College libra
ry. The book is published by the
| Christian Herald, New York. To
satisfy my curiosity IS to whether
or not this was q true history Of
travel, wrote to the postmaster at
Rattoon with regard to the matter,
ahd this is his reply:
Nattoon, ILL.,, Sept. II. 1905.
Harry Morrison was raised in
this town. His father still lives

A short time ago I was shown
quite relic in the way of an old
paper. The paper is an exact re-
print Of June II, 1775 (reprint
made IN 1879. It is called the
"Bunker Hill Centennial Mass }.
On the first page the editor starts
out like this: s'The sun fell with
i3 full force on the American camp
on the 10Th June. 1875; the earth
was parched up, but the vigorous
frames and patriotic spirit Of the
soldiers we're proof against its in- |
hsence," etc. On another page there
is d picture: a correct view of
the late battle at Charleston, June |
l7th, l775." There is also a call |
in the paper from Gen. Washington
for troops. In part the call reads:
The encouragement at this time to
enlist is truly liberal and generous /
namely, bounty of sl2; an an
nual and sufiicient supply Of good |
and handsome clothing; daily al |
lowance of q large and ample ra-
ton of provisions, together with |
sixty dollars year in gold and sill |
YER money on account of pay, the |
whole of which the soldier may lay !
by for himself and friends, as all |
articles for his subsistence and com.
fort are provided by law without
any expense to him." etc. The call |
winds up with "God save the Uni
ted States"
In the way of advertising In. the |
Bunker Hill Centennial we find |
Perry Davis Pain Killer. Silver
Tipped Shoes, Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary, and an ad. Of |
the New York Sun in such small |
type that 1t requires reading glass
to make it Dat.
This paper was brought here by |
en- eastern man [New Hampshire). |
He and his wife died; afterwards |
the house was rented and the renter |
discovered this paper; he has been
offered s5 for this copy, but he wants
$50. From the same source ] have
lately gotten possession of an old |
isather.covcred book, 4!isx7 inches
and over 500 pages This book is
called "Political Textbook" 1t |
contains the Declaration Of Inde- |
pendence; d sketch of the lives of
the fifty.three men that signed the |
Declaration of Independence; the |
Constitution of the United States
TIE inaugural addresses e and the 4rst
annual messages Of all the presi: |
dents, trop. Washington to Tyler,
the farewell addresses Of George |
Washington and Andrew Jackson,
together with an appendix contain
ing o variety OF useful tables, etc.
Altogether this is quite n relic in
the way of O book, and to collect |
srs of old books might be worth :
several dollars.

nearing its end and the rainy sea.
