Gersau. said to be the smallest independent
nation in the world. The speaker declared
that despite the statements of many histo-
rians, Tell Is not a myth to the Swiss peo-
pie, and many Of the scenes with which the
name is connected are now preserved by
the action Of the government.
1t was explained by Nine. Lohry that the
Cross of st. Andrew in the Swiss flag is
significant of a VOW taken by Swiss SOL
be theirs the cross should be part of their
flag for all time. By the aid of the illus
trations the rugged side of Swiss life was
made plain. Life In Berne, the capital and

ton in Switzerland, where she declared that
the poorest peasant Is able to read and
write.

WHEELS RECOVERED.
Abandoned Bicycles Located in the
Capitol Grounds.

A number or bicycles, reported to the
local police OF late as having been stolen.
are turning up In the Capitol grounds.
Nearly every day for the past two weeks
Capt McGrews neu have brought to the
guard room two or more wheels which
they found abandoned behind some tree or
shrubbery or In some recess Of the Capitol
building.
Ii Is the opinion or Detective Fred Weber
OF the Capitol force that these machines
are abandoned by boys who attend the
theaters at night. They will walk TO the
playhouse with just enough money TO pay
for their admission to the show. and after
the performance they are so tired ana
drowsy that they cannot resist the temp
tation to seize a wheel Tor ride The
grounds OF the Capitol afford excellent adj
yantages for the abandonment OF the b.
cycles, and the youngsters, knowing the
consequences should they take them home,
.dismount and abandon them at this point.
