The Nit, Mott Got

John Mott could not knit. so he In
vented a knitter which would knit and
which Mott called the Mott knItter."
But the mott knitter" could not knit
a knot, and Mott therefore had to tie
the knots which the mott knitter''
could not knit But one day Mott,
while not tying knots for the Mott
knitter," invented an attachment for
the "Nott knitter'' which could knit
knots and which he called the "Nott

knots which the Mott knitter" could
not knit. And not a knitter could knit
knots like the knots that Mott knit
with the mott knotter" for the mott

The Valiant Eagle.


The eagle has been used as q device
on royal banners from very remote
times. It was the ensign of the an
cient kings Of Persia and Of Babylon.
The Romans adopted various other
figures on their camp standards, but
Marius made the eagle the chief en-
sign Of the legiOns, and to the subdi-
vision assigned various other figures.
Constantine was the first emperor to
introduce the two headed eagle as a
royal or national device to indicate
that his empire had two heads or
kings. but was nevertheless one body
or empire. The two headed eagle is
now used to signify a double empire.
Austria claims to be the successor Of
the Caesars of Rome, and also OF
Charlemagne, and the one head repre-
sents the eastern and the other the
western empire. Russia also has a
double headed eagle, having added
that OF Poland to her own-LondOn
