Clarence l.. DePew, state superin-
tendent of bible schools for the Illinois
Christian Missionary Association, who
Is one Of the instructors in the inter-
national district training school for Sun
day school workers. now in progress
here, delivered An excellent address to
an enthusiastic company OF men that
crowded the Congregational church
basement Sunday noon. His subject
was bible teaching and the responsible
tty OF men in this important work. He
emphasized the fact that the bible
school is not merely for children and
a few women, but that men should
bear their part and are doing 1t wherc-
ever organized effort has been exerted
to enlist them in the cause. n
ME. DePew insisted that people. when
they go to church, must divorce their
minds from worldly affairs and that
they must not only read but keep
studying the scriptures, ass this is the
distinct aim Of the bible school. Men
are becoming more and more awakened
to their duty in this line, he said, and
are getting the habit from the women.
That's the reason probably that more
of them part their hair in the middle
than formerly. They have caught the
fashion from associating with the
women in the affairs of the church, and
it is hopeful sign. Men will come to
do this work because they see others
doing it, he said. 1t all depends upon
organization and proper effort. You
can get the men If you so after them
in the right way.
The speaker said there was inspira-
ton in the association of men of va
rious walks in life in bible school work
and 1T helps greatly in cleaning up a
town. He illustrated this by citing the
results in a number Of cities, and said
the idea is in the air and spreading
everywhere and that it has come to

The spectacular advertising methods
80 much in vogue nowadays with our
home manufacturers and jObbers are
often the cause of q witty remark.
For long time certain large watch
manufacturing concern has advertised
its watches as being able to stand all
kinds of temper ature, and for some
time it ran a display advertisement
showing one of the watches frozen in
q cake Of ice This was followed after
ward by an advertisement showing a
watch suspended III kettle of some
kind of boiling liquid, over blazing
fire.
One day merchant was displaying
his wares to prospective customer for
a timepiece, and as he seemed undecid-
ed the merchant became especially ef-
fusive over this particular kind Of q
watch. He closed his remarks by say
ing: "Just think of it'll That watch is
guaranteed to keep correct time even
In red hot temperature"
"That may be all very well and good
for you," said the prospective customer,

The Eagle,
Old Abe
He Proved to be Good Soldier and
Cheered for the Boys
in Victory.

In 1861 an Indian caught young
bald eagle in the woods of northern
Wisconsin and pr esented it to Company
F of the Eighth Wisconsin Volunteers.
The bird was adopted by the regiment
which soon became known as "the ca
gle regiment"
Old Abe was secured by light steel
chain to perch and carried by the side
of the colors at the head of the regi-
ment.
Many very interesting stories are told
of him, few of which shall give here.
The man detailed to look after Old
Abe's welfare had no other duties to
perform, but he had no sinecure even
at that. The bird was often liberated
from his perch but never made any at
tempt to escape. When the regiment
was in camp near farmers home he
was always taken to the farmyard and
allowed to hustle his own meals. On
one occasion he was set at liberty
among lot of barnyard fowls and at
once made a dive for a guinea hen.
The hen gave one of those peculiar cries
which can issue only from the throat
of guinea fowl, and Old Abe came to
a sudden halt. A second attempt he
made with a like result Then he
walked away to one corner of the yard
where he remained until his bearer Sc
cured good fat chicken and carried
him back to quarters.
+ Whenever the regiment cheered in
battle or at any other time he would al
ways spread bis wings and scream as
loudly as the rest of them. Sometimes
he would spring into the air as high as
his chain would permit. / have often
heard it said that during battle he
would soar Over the heads of the SOL
diers continually uttering his screams,
but my father who was with the regi-
ment all through the war, says he never
saw any such thing.
Old Abe was in twelve regular bat
ties, besides many skirmlshes, and
never had blood drawn, although two
of his bearers were shot, For three
years he was carried at the head of the
regiment, but when they came home on
their veteran furlough he was left at
the capitol at Madison while the regi-
ment went back aud served another
year in the field.
After the war, when the Wisconsin
troops were being reviewed at Mad
ison before being formally mustered
out, Old Abe was on hand and when
the Eagle Regiment passed his stand
in review and gave three cheers he
arose ON his perch, spread his broad
wings aud his wild cry was again heard
above all others, thus signally proving
that he remembered his Old comrades.
lie died few years later and his body
was stuffed and occupies prominent
place in the capitol at Madison. K.
