and Henry Wits crack regiment,
the yeomen of the guard, was COM
posed entirely of bowmen. Archery
fourished some time after the intro
duction Of the hand gun, though
this had been used in England as
early as 1471. This developed, i1s
James rs time, into the caliver, So

soldiers with guns of the same cali
Der" as the French pattern, and the
longbow was finally abandoned in

peatedly passing it through layers
of carded cotton wool as a filter.
The clarified oil of Italy is then, un-

The Story of a White Lie.

Is white lie ever justified? That
at least some people believe it has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to a
city where all the people were truth
full, married one of the inhabitants,
had two children and prospered.
One day neighbor called when the
rabbits wife was washing her head,
and the rabbi, going to the door, was
seized by false modesty and said
that she had gone out. Thereupon
both of his children died, and, as
no one died in that city before
reaching old age, the neighbors
made inquiries, the rabbi confessed
what he had done and was ordered
to leave the city Immediately.

It's fishin time and Jim Cartwright
and Charley Porter, who are quite fond
of the sport, are telling the boys just
what kind of bait to use to catch the
various kind of fish. We notice how
ever when they go on a fishing trip they
carry their bate in bottles and this bait
is always branded "Schlitz" or "Mono-
gram" They told us "pintly" not to
tell what kind of bait they used and
that they would bring fish for "me and
you 'bofe'", therefore we are under OBJ
legations not to tell.

Let us be patient! these severe affiiction;
Not from the ground arise,
But often times celestial benedictions,
Assume this dark disguise.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;

Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed;
And in heaven with Joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

killed by q negro working about the

times, kept pistols and guns handy,
and grew TO be generally regarded as
a dangerous man, though as honest as
c,uld be, snd exc ,pt when provoked
or giving way to his feelings was q
very quiet and retiring man.
The trial attracted 8 rather larger
crowd than usual to the court, and
quite a number who heard all OF the
testimony appeared surprised at the
verdict. It is noteworthy, however,
that the verdict seems to meat pop
uIar approval, as has already been
said, Way was regarded as q bad man,
sympathy was in large measure With
the dead man. and Ways friends as
