embody all that the memorial ser.

Here's another for Aud Lang Syne.
Here's thought and a word OF
kindly cheer,
And welcome to Thee AID Thine!
| And a silent tear for the absent,
Heart throbs for those who I'VE gone
But whose spirits guard and watch
and ward
Our troth in the western dawn.
Here's strength to the life of {
manhood true
To the hope Of the brightest day;
To the faith we pledge each othe,
anew,
AS we march on the White High
way.
And here's to the best we love O,
earth;
God bless 'em they're yours an,
mine.
Here's cheer for the friendship
We best knew,
In the days of Auld Lang Syne.

The Ssptuagint.

septuagint means seventy. The sep

originated. according to Aristeas. as
follows: Ptolemy Philadelphus (284-247

collection of the laws OF all nations
for the great Alexandrine library was
advised by his librarian to have the
Jewish Scripture translated into Greek.
and the king had the work done

Jews from Jerusalem. The letter of
Aristeas is probably mythical. but the
substance of the story it tells is prob
ably quite true.-New York American.

Match Sticks.

Certain kinds of matches are shaved
with the grain from sawed blocks.
Others are cut both ways by saws. In
still further varieties the blocks are
boiled to make them cut easily. By
some machines boiled or steamed log

cut round and round. This shaving is
at the same time cut into lengths and
split into match sticks. 1t may be said
that there is hardly limit to the vari.
cites Of methods employed. Round
matches are made by forcing them
through dies.-Harper's Weekly.

His Blunder.

Two students travelling through the
country to procure their meals and
lodging gratis adopted the method used
by the deaf and dumb. The extended
slate had invariably produced good re-
suits.
One noon they halted at the front
door Of farmhouse. The housewife
read the appeal on the slate. She
looked from the one who carried the
slate to his partner
Are you deaf and dumb, too?' she
put to the latter.
"Yes. ma am" replied the student So
berly.-Detroit News.

His Last Breath.

The reflections upon the value Of
breath. writes correspondent. recall
an old riddle which asked what it was
that no man wished to take and no
man wished to give up. The answer
was, His last breath. Charles Lamb
had an epicurean desire concerning bis
own last breath. half of which at any
rate comes home to many of us. Ma
cready heard him express the hope
that be might draw it in through a
pipe and exhale it in a pun. Certainly
that would be the most precious breath

Why Not Pass tho Plate?

They ought to pass the plate at
church weddings. 1t comes natural to
do it in church. and to do so would
add pretty and useful employment to
the duties of the ushers, who always
have little spare time before the
bride arrives. And. really, getting
married is more expensive than ever.
and, though wedding presents are ex-
cellent in their way, what the young
people usually need the most is cash.
Instead Of the list of gifts which the
newspapers sometimes print we should
read. 1.-THE collection yielded $4,000
co.," That would be nice. It is much
easier to store and care for money
than plate and glass! And money al
ways fits and there is no such thing as
m embarrassing duplication Of dollars.

When in the war Of 1912 the British,
who had taken Washington. trained
their guns upon the patent Office, DR..

before the guns, cried:
Are you Englishmen or Goths and

Would you destroy it? Then let the

ESCORT FOR SULTAN
PUZZLES THE ARMY
No Money With Which to Entertain Sulu Ruler
When He Comes to Pay Visit-Must
Meet Own Expenses.

New York, July l7.-Whether the
government will provide an escort of
army officers for the Sultan of Sulu,
when that person, who is the only
crowned head over whom the United
States has jurisdiction. arrives here
next fall. is a question that army Off
GERS would like to have answered. The
impression is that no escort will be
provided, and that the Sultan and his
retInue will have to get around as
best they can and pay their own ex-
penses.
The Sultan, 1t is said, is nothing
more than any other private American
citizen. and the government, even II
1t wanted to, probably would be un-
able to find precedent to make it
possible to pay for the good time the
monarch hopes to have, Congress
could appropriate sum for his en-
tertainment, but Congress won't be in
session again until the Sultan has
gone
The situation is without precedent
In this country. and. although every
officer who has met the little Sultan
would be glad to see everything done
