AS far back in the past as ira
dition lead us where Logan the
Queen city of the Valley of the
Hook Hooking now is, there was
an Indian village sheltered by the
mighty oaks of the forest and with
in the sound of the falls of tie
Hooking which was destined after
wards to be harnessed so as to per-
form the labor of man. How long
this spot was the home of the
Wyandottes, history does not tell
us, but it is probable that the first
white man who trod this valley
was one of the soldiers of the army
of Lord Dunmore.
History and tradition tell us
that in 1774 Lord Dunmore Gov
ernor of Virginia with his army
descended the Ohio river to the
mouth of the Hooking where he
built Fort Cover as a base of sup
plies, leaving small force to pro
tect the fort. He marched up the
Hooking to where Logan now is,
thence westward to point near
Circleville where council with
the Indians was held. AT this
council Logan Chief of the Mon
goes made his famous speech. 81
appeal to any white man to say if
he ever entered Logan's cabin
hungry and he gave him not meat"
After the conclusion of the treaty
of peace Dunmore's army returned
by the same route they had CONS
and was probably disbanded at the
mouth of the Hooking. The ma
iority of these soldiers returned to
their homes but tradition tells us
that few remained and became
settlers of the lower Hooking val
ley and probably few in what is
now Hooking County.
Cleaning from the "lIistory of
the Hooking Valley we learn that
the first white settlers in Hooking
county was Christian Westenhav-
err, who in the year 1893 built a
log cabin on Old town creek into
which he moved with his family.
Remnants Of this log cabin were
still standing as late as the year
1870. Two months later John
Pence and Conrad B:ian brothers
in-law of Mr.. Westenhaver fol-
lowed him locating their families
in a log cabin where the house of
Andrew Kern was afterwards built.
Soon after their arrival here each
entered tract of 80 acres of land.
The tract entered by Pence is
now known as Bragg town and the
Brian tract adjoiEed that of John
Pence on the we2t, Mr.. Pence
bait his cabin on the spot after
wards occupied by the residence
of DR.. Bishop. This land includ-
ed the lower part of Logan from
Goose creek to the Rochester cor
ner on Main street.
Joseph and Rebecca Pence, son
and daughter of John Pence, were
the first white children born in
Hooking county, la short time
Pence and Brian were followed by
Israel Beard, Patrick Beard, two
daughters and granddaughter.

Euuene Sues Vanity.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed
when his works were the vogue, Eu.
gene Sue posed much more as man
Of fashion than man of letters. After
his dinner at the Cafe de Paris he
would gravely stand on the steps
smoking his cigar and listening to the
conversation with an air of superiority
without attempting to take part in it
His mind was supposed to be faI
away, devising schemes for the social
and moral improvement of his fellow
creatures. These philanthropic mus
ings did not prevent him from paying
a great deal Of attention-too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance
for even in those days of beaus, bucks
and dandies. of Counts d'Orsay and
others, men could not help thinking
Eugene Sue overdressed.

An Old Idea.

Macaulay was not the first man to
frame the famous image of the man
of a new civilization standing amid
the ruins Of that which we know to-
day. Long before he wrote of his
traveller from New Zealand meditat-
ing upon London bridge Mrs. Barbauld
had used the same image, with the diff
ference that she applied 1t to Black
friars bridge. An earlier reviewer had
used it in an article published in 1867.
we are told by an English commenta-
tor, and Horace Walpole says in one
Of his letters. "At last some curious
traveller from Lima will visit England
and give a description Of the ruins of
st. Paul's."

Umbrella Etiquette In Turkey

In China ladies are attended by serv-
ants who hold umbrellas over their
heads. The Chinese and Japanese in
troduce both the umbrella and parasol
into their decorative work and athletic
sports. In western Turkey it is neces-
sary to close an umbrella on meeting
people of high rank, and European
traveller who was passing one of the
palaces of the sultan was nearly run
through by the guard before he COM
pretended that he must put down the
open umbrella he carried. Every one
passing the actual residence of the
sultan lowers his umbrella as a salu-
tation to "the brother of the sun and
the moon"

Notes From Washington

From our Regular Correspondent.
The first message of William
Howard Taft to the Congress of
the United States created quite
a sensation in that august body.
This message of exactly five
paragraphs is considered a
specimen of terse, simple An
glo. Saxon, and delighted every
member of Congress regardless
of party utilization. AS the read
ing of the message progressed
in the Senate broad smiles illum
med the faces of Senator Aid
rich and Hale, and at it's sudden
conclusion Senator Aldrich con-
tented himself with a chuckle
while Senator Hale laughed until
his sides shook. The message
is generally regarded as most
significant of the new order of
things and gave satisfaction in
both l.ouses. AT the conclusion
Of the reading in the House the
members broke into loud and
prolonged applause.

German Syrup

We want to impress or our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is
positively the only preparation on
the market today that does relieve
and cure consumption. Tt contains
the speci6ce, such as pare tar, ex-
tracts of gum, etc, ETC., which have
BEEN so highly endorsed for the cure
of coughs, colds and consumption
by the great medical congresses.
The consumptive, whether his disease
is in the throat or lungs, must have
rest at night, and be free from the
spasm of dry aud racking cough in
the morning: The diseased parts
want rest, neanng and soothing
tseatment, and the patient needs
fresh air, good food, etc, German
Syrup will give free and easy ex-
pectoration in the morning. with

EFFORT BY PROXY.
Involuntary Attempts to Help Athletes
al Exciting Moments.

Involuntary Attempts to Help Athletes
at Exciting Moments.
In pictures of athletic competitions,
chiefly hurdle races and high jumps,
an occasional spectator is seen in
queer posture.
If it is n picture of an athlete leap
in.. ten chances to one the spectator
has inyoluntarily raised his right leg,
twisting his body in automatic express
sion Of desire to help the jumper.
With hurdle race photographs this of
ten NAV be noticed, too, and in the
case Of sprinters not few men stand
with faces twisted up and holding the
breath in correct imitation of the ath-
lete actually competing.
So. too. with football views. In one
of a big game there was a photograph
of a man on the side line watching
tackle who was crouching down in al
most exact imitation Of waiting de-
fense man who was shown at the mo-
ment making ready for his leap at the
runner.
Men who follow athletics know how
involuntary this is. One athletic train
err has appeared in hundreds of pic
lures as watching some one of his
charges high jumping, with his leg
swung out lust as if he were making
the leap himself. There is a sort Of
relief for the feeling Of trying to help
the Jumper in swinging the leg up so,
and almost any person is likely to find
himself doing it instinctively.
1t NAV be noticed at prizefghts that
some men 60 through the entire battle
punch for punch, crossing and counter
ing an imaginary opponent as they
watch the struggle before them. Men
drive and ride horses in races from the
stand, making the effort in the stretch
along with the jockey Of their fancy.
| This is one of the well known features
among the race crowd where there are
many "grand stand riders" In wres-
thing matches almost any one will try,
purely by instinct, to help the athlete
who is down and who is bridging des-
perately to avoid the fall
And yet there is rarely enough tele-
pathic suggestion in the air surcharged
with desire to bring about result diff
| ferent from what naturally might be
expected at the moment when the
greatest wish for something else is
| born-that is to say, the high jumper
doesn't necessarily clear the bar, nor
the sprinter squeeze out the inch or
so that he needs, nor the jockey whip
his mount in for the head that means
victory.-Washingto Post.

The Perfect Woman.

There is a quaint old tavern sign in
Kent, 1.-THE Perfect Woman"-a wo
mans head without a mouth. This
signboard was once quite common, and
as late as 1918 "silent woman" stood
in st. Giles, in what is now New Ok
ford street, bearing beneath the picture
Of a headless female the following
Jtanza:
A silent woman-how can it be?
Patient traveller, do not scott.
Drawn from the very life is she
And mute because her head is off.

little news had been received
from the American representa-
tives in Central America and
that so far as Washington is con-
cerned, there were no new devel-
opments in the situation. On
account of the unsettled con0i-
tions in these republics, however,
the administration intends to
keep three United States war
vessels stationed in the waters
on the western coast, for a time
at least. In case it should be
necessary to maintain the war
ships in Central Am erican waters
for any length of time. all of the
vessels finishing their target
practice in Magdalena Bay, to
which p ace the fleet is gradual
ly proceeding, will return to the
south if necessary. tits believed
that the presence of these vessels
in the disturbed district will
have salutary effect and will be
a means for affording prompt
communication with this govern
ment should any warlike demon
strat;ons be made by any of the
countries.
