The SAUSAGE.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manufac-
tTed sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing In common with
our modern product. The ancient 90
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup Of the boudln Of the French
market and the blood pudding Of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs OF
goats. 1t was not until the tenth CEN
tury that sausage made of hashed pork
became known. II was In or near the
year 1900 that. thanks to the introduc-
ton into Germany Of cinnamon and
saffron. the sausages Of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired universal repu.
tation.

ONE or, ERIN,s FAIRIES. .Ilii Is, +
A Tricky Chap u ireland's Little old
Man, the Leprechaun.

...,. Man, the lepreehaun.
The story of the boy who was ex-
hibited throughout Scotland as a
genuine Irish leprechaun leads one to
ask what exactly leprechaun is, for,
Of course. each variety of fairy has
It's special characteristics.
The leprechaun is peculiar to Ire
land and is in the form of little old
man. by profession maker of brogues.
He is only discovered by the sound
Of the hammering of his brogues. and
any one capturing him can induce him
by threats to reveal where his wealth
Is hidden.
But no one yet has laid hands on
that wealth. for If you take your eye
off the leprechaun for as much as a
second he has the power of vanishing,
however tight you may hold him. And
his ingenuity in making you glance
away is always successful.
Only once did that ingenuity fail,
and even then the treasure escaped un-
pillaged. A careful peasant, proof
against all temptations. kept his eve on
the little brogue maker until the money
was revealed in field of ragwort. But
he had no bag So he tied his garter
round the particular plant under which
the money was hid and went to fetch
one. only to find on his return that
every ragwort in the field was adorned
with a red garter.-London Chronicle.

have been: Cattle 1921, calves 90,
hogs 5,434, sheep 5,264.
This week cattle trade showed a
few soft spots but was generally

have been light. Butcher stock, on
the other hand, was firm throughout.

The relations that existed between
General Washington and his younger

father of General Robert Il. Lee-were
exceedingly close and tender. 1t is
an authentic tradition in the Lee fam
lily that Washington regarded the bril-.

Lee was inclined to be spendthrift.
and his lavish use Of money often
brought on him the paternai reproof
of his older and more discreet friend
and the reproof was often followed by
affectionate assistance In extricating
him from his embarrassments.
Mrs. Washington was almost equally
fond of the young officer. who often
made long visits at Mount Vernon.
During one Of his sojourns there.
Harry Lee remarked to his host at
the breakfast table:

M0DERNIZED THE ANGEL.
Mounted on Ball Bearings, It Now Acts
as a Weather Vane.

WOuHhou OF odU b0dEin9oI tt wow THSes
as Weather Vane.
There are many kinds of angels
ranging in style from those we read
about in the Bible to those who bring
out talent on the stage. 1t has remain
ed, however, for writer In the Amer
icansAIachinist to discover new type
of the seraphic assortment. This an
gel is ball bearing and entirely un-
like the common or garden variety
of angels. 1t stands on top of the IA
nous tower known as the Campanile
di San Marco. in Venice, and swings to
the wind like weather vane.
The statue of the angel San Marco,
which surveyed the old city of Lagunes
since the sixteenth century, was found
but little damaged among the ruins
after the collapse of the tower. 1t was
repaired and now stands again on the
lofty height. but is supported in very
different manner from the old. for it
now rests on modern ball bearings.
This method of mounting allows the
statue to be turned around a vertical
axis by the wind, so that it swings au-
tomatically, into such position that
the angel always presents the small
est surface to the wind or storm. If
one considers that the large wings Of
the angel. which are eleven feet high,
project straight backward, 1t may be
imagined that the difference of the
wind pressure is considerable. whether
the wind blows against the small front
surface or against the side exposing
the large face of the wings.

Fractured Right Leg at Ankle While
Running Bases.


While playing Sunday under pro-
test with the College Hill Bakery club
Of the City league. Earl Trobert suf-
fered a broken ankle. He caught his
right toe in the bag at first base while
running bases. and the fracture re-
suited. Mr.. Trobert plays first base
with the washburn colleeg club and
was elected captain Of the 1914 foot
ball team. He is the best kicker in
the state. ~
Trobert was persuaded to play Sum
day because the club had no other
man who was Considered capable of
fIling the position. AS a student of
Washburn college, he wanted to stay
at home and study in preparation for
approaching examinations and did
not want to play Sunday baseball. He
was induced to, enter the game only
At the eleventh hour: and in fact. the
game was delayed about ten minutes
to permit him to don his uniform.
He was taken TO Stormont hospital
by DR.. E. J. Ernest. who reduced the
fracture. DR.. Ernest believes he will
recover in a short time.
