His Pale Face and Glarins Eyes Dur
ing His Great Ovation.
The most overwhelming of Patrick
Henry's great orations is that which
he pronounced before the convention
which met in st. Johns church at
Richmond March %, ITS. Already the
mutterings Of war were so distinct
that Henry. instead of concealing the
facts, declared that war was even then
bn foot.
I'VE must fightr' he said. "An appeal
ito arms and to the God Of hosts is all

Curiously enough, even of this ora
tion there is no authentic record. Ger
tain sentences, certain stirring phrases,
were remembered by many who were
there, but the speech as we have 1t is
almost surely a restoration by william
Writ, himself an eloquent and brilliant
orator. He supplied the gaps in what
his informants repeated to him, piec-
out their recollections with his
own vivid fancy. But the spirit of
Henry flames all through 1t, and to
Henry may be safely ascribed such
burning sentences as these:

Fighting Geese.

In Russia pits for cock fighting are
unknown, but goose pits" some sixty
years ago were common throughout
that mighty kingdom. The effect Of
this can be seen today in the geese
which are Indigenous to the country,
the Arsamas and the Tula varieties
particularly showing to marked de-
gree the fighting characters Of their
ancestors. The Arsamas gander has
a bill which is entirely different In
form from that of the geese known in
any other part of the world. This spe-
cial structure enables the bird to take
firm grip on the neck or back Of its
antagonist.

seeking enlistments from the sturdy
woodsmen who were at work there.
Among them was giant lumberman
named Jim Martin.
He was using handspike made
from a river birch sapling recently cut
and still green. Eager to go to the
front, he thrust his handspike deep
into the soft soil of the river bank
and went away with the recruiting Of

"The handspike Jim Martin used
was too big and heavy for any of his
fellows to handle, and it was left stick

ground. The next spring it was no.

vigorous tree, which is revered land

Some one has stolen 1t I heard them say
The sad-faced Junior inquiries all around,
And the one who has taken 1t can't be found.

And at all the Juniors she fondly stares.
The teacher inquiries what the book may be,
Kindly walks over and thinks she will see.
Any one tell who has taken the book2
Then she over all the school does look.
The Seniors stop work and look very green
While the Juniors hard at work are seen.
At last the book Junior has found
And sadly says as she turns around,
Here's this book, take IL and CO."

ELK's CLUB HOUSE UNDER AMUSEMENT

BY action of the Elks lodge last
evening it was decided not to pur-
chase the Cole property for a club
house, hut instead to look further for
a desirable club location. To this
end a committee was appointed to in
vestigate various plans for securing
club rooms with instructions to re-
port at the next meeting.
The decision to abandon the deal
for the. Cole property was taken af-
ter the matter had been very thor
oughly discussed by the members
during the past few weeks. Consid-
cradle opposition to the venture is
said to have been manifested by old
er members of the lodge, and as a
result it was considered better to
abandon the deal. A motion recon-
sidering the lodges previous action
in the matter was carried.
However, the plan for securing a
club has not been dropped, and the
lodge leaders are still enthusiastic in
the matter. 1t is now possible that
the lodge may rent quarters instead
Of buying a piece of property. Among
ether LOCATIONS being investigated is
the upper story Of the Taylor build
ing at the corner of Main and Wa
ter streets. 1t is possible that the
Taylor building may be leased and
fitted up for a meeting hall with club
rooms In connection.

licved he will appear this evening or

o'clock the Young man anneared at

some purchases offered n s1s cbaoL

Beams blanks had been used soma
thing about the appearance Of the
check and the Young man aroused
the suspicion of Mr.. Teutsch. who
has had some experience in the
forged check line before. Conse-
quently, he decided to take his cus-
toner down to the Wonder Store to
ascertain If they had given hin, tho
blank he had used. The check was
signed with the name of w. r. Fan
cher and was in favor of Ed Fancher.
Taylor claimed to be the party and a
cousin of the man whose name is
forged. He said Fancher had given
him the check the day before.
On the way down the street Taylor
grew nervous and several times tried
to dissuade Mr.. Teutsch from the idea
Of going to the Wonder Store. This
confirmed the suspicion that the check
was forgery and gripping his young
customer by the arm he compelled him
to go along. On entering the store,
Charles Bean, identified Taylor as
one to whom he had given a blank
check short time before, and this
evidence made 1t clear that for
gerry had been committed. Mr.. Bean
was then dispatched for an officer
while the young man was detained at
the store by Mr.. Teutsch.

at a very favorably opportunity
made a ''grandstand" effort to get
away. Then it was that he fell in
