The fact that a large proportion OF
all the history of all the world is false
is perhaps known to few people. That
American history particularly abounds
In errors, blunders and stereotyped
falsities is known to even a smaller
number. Walpole, wishing to amuse
his father after an unusually weari-
some day, proposed reading to him
from book of history. Anything but
history" said the old man, flor history
must be false"
When it is considered that historians
in every period of the world have been
narrowed and biased by personal opin-
ion and surrounding circumstances the
wisdom of this remark is perceived.
The worst part of it all Is that when
once a mistake has been made it has
rarely been rectified. each succeeding
historian being content to accept as
facts the work of those who went be-
fore him. The ultimate result of this
was that the mistakes were believed
by those who read them, and events in
history that never happened or were
false We're accepted by the world and
ever after known as the markers of
important epochs.
For instance, the battle of Lexing-
ton, which occurred April 10, 1875, Is
known as the first battle between the
colonists and the British. But this
was not So for the records of Orange
county. n. c., show that on the road
from Hillsboro to Salisbury on May
16, III, an engagement between a

colonists took place, in which thirty
six men We're killed and several wound
ed. The trouble was caused by the re
sentiment of the colonists over the lille
gal taxes imposed by the British clerk,
of the county court.
Historians persist in saying and peo-
pie persist in believing that the breast
works thrown up by General Jackson
at New Orleans were made of cotton
bales covered with earth. As a matter
Of fact, there was not pound of cot
ton on the ground. and this fact has
been verified by Major Chotard, Gener-
al Jackson's assistant adjutant gener-
al, who was himself participant in
the battle
A well known engraving that nearly
always appears in modern school histo-
ries is that OF General CORVALLIS hand
ing his sword to General Washington
at the surrender OF Yorktown. and this
in spite of the fact that, to spare Corn
wallis the humiliation, General O'Hara
gave his sword to General Lincoln in
token of surrender

Humor aao Philosophy
PERT PARAGRAPHS,
By DUNCAN n. snslTn

Being a gossip is having a lot OF
high toned company.
Having an opinion of your own is an
excellent thing when it doesn't cause
you to lose money.
No man likes to see his wife work
for anybody but himself.
The average woman knows as much
about politics as the average man
knows of domestic economy
All lies are detestable unless they
bear the mark of our own branding
iron.
The reason that most men are not
jealous Of their wives is because they
haven't chance to be.
When you can no longer argue,
quote poetry.
1t makes us feel bad when we find
that our wrights are all wrongs.
Nobody but fool ever tries to show
man that he isn't as clever as he
thinks he is.
By some people it is considered quite
honorable to tell q lie by keeping your
mouth shut.
