NUN FORSAKES VOW
RETURNS TO THE WORLD AFTER
rs YEARS IN A CONVENT.
Entered cIoIster When Doctors Told
Her She Could Not Llve-She Re

Go Home.

Lansing, Mich.-Torn between con

OF her youth and childhood or spend
the remainder of her life behind the
clustered walls of the Convent of the
Good Shepherd. in Grace street, Chi
cago-Miss Hattie Holmes, after 23
years of convent life, chose to cast
aside her vows and was welcomed
back to her family in Lansing.
At twenty Miss Holmes was consid.
cred fair to look Upon. Just as she
was in the bloom of young woman
hood she was taken with a strange
malady. The doctors at her home
town could do nothing for her. Her
condition became serious. She was
taken to the st. Mary's hospital at
South Bend, Ind.
But when the doctors studied her
case they shook their heads. They
said she had but few months to live
before she would be taken away by an
incurable cancer.
Every hope of a career in the world
blighted. Miss Holmes turned to the
SOhoOidOiOn Vi the NuuICu.
She was dismissed from the hospital
after she had regained a little strength
but nothing was promised her She
was told she might live year or two
but not more. She went away with

One day when the longing and
yearning assailed her more bitterly
than ever she stole away and wrote g
letter to her sister and posted it In

But years had passed. The letter re

that ended her hopes until friends
from her old home saw her a few

ORIGIN OF "YANKEE DOODLE
Tune Is Believed to Have Pertalned
to Country Dance in Ger
man Province.

Theories concerning the origin Of
the air of Yankee Doodle" have been
almost as numerous as those touching
the birthplace of Homer.
One of the most interesting and, It
is thought, the latest speculation in
this regard comes from Germany. 1t
is contended that the tune originally
pertained to a country dance of the
district of the former province of Kur-
Hesse. that it was called the
"Schwalm," and that the air was also
played as military march by bands
of Hessian troops during the war OF
the Revolution. In studying the
dances of the "Schwalm," the German
authority was struck by their similar
ity in form and rhythm to Yankee
Doodle" 1t is assumed that. as many

ca were recruited in this district, they

FARE AT HARVARD IN 1850
Breakfast at Dsybreak and Boiled
Dinner Two Days In the
Week

The students lodged in the dormi-

prison fare. At breakfast, which was
served at sunrise in summer and at
daybreak in winter, there were doled
out to each student small can OF I'M
settled coffee. size of biscuit, and a
size of butter, weighing generally
about an ounce. Dinner was the sta
pie meal, and at this each student
was RECALLED with a pound of meat.
Two days in the week. Monday and
Thursday, the meat was boiled. and,
in college language, these we're known
as boiling days. On the remaining
days the meat was roasted, and to
them the nickname of roasting days
was fastened. With the flesh went al
ways two potatoes. When boiling
days came round, pudding and cab
bage. wild peas and dandelions were
added.
The only delicacy to which no stint
was applied was the cider. a beverage
then fast supplanting the small beer
OF the colonial days. This was
brought to the mess in pewter cans
which were passed from mouth to
mouth, and, when emptied. were again
replenished. For supper there was a

HORACE GAVE 1T FAME
POET SANG OF LITTLE VALLEY
OF THE LlcENzA.
No Crossed II On the Way to Hls
sabine Farm and It is Beau
tlfuI Now as II Was
Then.

A few verses written 1000 years
ago have made the little Valley of the
Licenza one of the most famous
places within easy reach of Rome.
Had Maecenas been less generous q
patron, had he never given the Sabine
farm to Horace, had Horace never
told the world and his friends how his
days there were spent, few would
now make the classical excursion into
the Sabine Hills, though time has not
marred their beauty.
The villa of Horace has disappeared,
to the Joy Of scholars and archeolo-
gists, who, as 1t is, can go on arguing
Indefinitely over its exact site. But
the narrow valley, the steam running
through 1t and the inclosing hills are
as Horace left them, and as lovely.
Now, as in his day, If you go from
Rome to Tivoh, and from Tivoh TO
Vicovaro. and here turn up the valley
Of the Ldcenza and wander on by
road-as you must, for there ia nc
railway-you will come. some few
miles further to a great rock that
springs abruptly from the lower slopes
and tits over them at a melodramat

This is ''the citadel Horace had to
scale" to reach his house, and II

The only difference is that the little
brown village OF Roccagiovine rises
on top, where of old stood the temple
OF Vacuna, already in ruins, where
Horace sat under its shadow to write
TO his friend In Rome. The little vii
lage has done it's best to meet its
classical responsibilities, and has
given the name of the temple to itf
piazza
Here still are the olives that pay
the Sabine farmer best, and the vines
that yield the rough little Sabine
wine that Horace has made more re
nowned than many a rarer vintage;
here are the hills where he wandered
and the woods that gave acorns to hil
nocks and dense shade to him; here
the silence and the peace, and the
fresh wind blowing from the noun

and the banks upon which he resteC
