An English Band Stirred Pa
triotism in Americans

the identity of his vessel to renal
hidden.
On the American, general quarter
! had been sounded. Every man was II
his appointed place. Those who coul'
not see it marked sudden activity OF
board their grim neighbor A numbe
of khaki clad men assembled on 1T
quarter deck. The things they carried
glittered in the afternoon sun.
Slowly now with engines stopped
the American glided by. From across
/ the water, gently at first, then swell.
ing to deep and thrilling volume
came the music of marine band.
Oh, say does that star spangled ban
ner still wave
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave?
The seamen on the Kearsarge stiff
fened a bit more. Chins went up
Pulses beat fast, hearts were strange
ly exultant, eyes cleaned with new
light. Nightly the song rolled on,
tempered bit by the strip of water
between, but the sweeter for it. I'm
consciously the men took up the words
to the beat of the music. Harkl
HAD it ceased? No; just softened
down a trife to give due emphasis to
those last few glorious bars:
IT'S the star spangled bannerl Oh,
long may it wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the bravel
1t was not a time for cheering.
Something deeper, beyond the power
Of words to express filled the hearts
of every man. All had heard and
sung the patriotic lines several times
before, but it was left for a foreign
and courteous friend to
teach them the full significance of it
Ito swell their hearts with that sub
finest of all emotions, love of their
native land. |
Captain Christie sent the thanks of +
his ship in the following radiogram:
We Of the Kearsarge are deeply APP
of your courtesy, and re-
yret that we do not carry band with
which to reciprocate.-Christie, U. S.

Like our own Moon.

Observations made at the Lowell
observatory on the varying brightness
of two satellites of Saturn, viz, Mimas
and Enceladus, indicate that these
bodies rotate on their axes In periods
identical with those of their revolution
around the primary. T. e., they behave
like our own moon, and probably like
satellites generally.

Strong and Well as Ever.

Fred Smith, Green Bay, Wis, says:
Foley Kidney Pills completely re-
lieved me of all soreness and pain in
the back and / am now strong and

aching joints, sore muscles and irreg-
ular bladder action more unbearable.
Foley Kidney Pills help the kidneys
eliminate pain causing poisons. Ha-

Speaking of billiards." remarked
Old Bill Misgivens, 81 lived for a cou-
pie of years in North Dakota where
| experienced some of the worst that
ever visited that country. One fall
the weather continued fine up to the
I middle of December The weather
was balmy, like spring. The birds
were singing in the trees that grew
down by the creek. The grasshoppers
were hopping gaily about and the
snakes had not prepared their winter
homes. The blizzard hit our neigh
borhood at 2:30 p. m. The reason /
happened to know the exact minute
was because when the blizzard struck
me it froze the works of my watch
and stopped the hands at that exact
minute. At 2:29 p m. the tempera-
ture was 80 in the shade. Four min
utes afterward it was 81 below zero.
The reason | know that it was 80 in
the shade at 1929 p. m. was because
when the blizzard struck the Their

curry in the upper part of the tube

thoughtless little bird was sitting on
the limb of tree singing it's merry
tune when the storm hit it. The
bird had its head to the south was
the reason why it was so taken by
surprise. 1t froze stiff right there on
the limb with one of its high notes |
just coming out of its little bill. The
bird sat there on that limb frozen |
stiff with its mouth open and that |
song arrested in it's course until the
following May when a warm wind
came along and thawed it out. The
bird sort of blinked its eyes couple
OF times and then went right on with
that song just where it had left off

ready to swallow a field mouse when

out there in the middle of February.
The snake had its mouth open just
about three inches from the mouse

and picking up the frozen reptile l
turned it with the tail toward the
mouse and the head pointed the other
way. 1t worked out all right in a
way. When the thaw came in the
spring | happened to be near that
snake. 1t and the mouse both thawed
at the same time. 1t was evident

W. F. Benson, state bank commits
sioner of Kansas, is reported to have
said, "Kansans are going motor car
crazy. Kansas farmers ought to buy
fewer automobiles and more manure
spreaders." Maybe. But this news
papers observation is that the farm
ers who own the manure spreaders
are often the ones who buy motor
cars. The successful farmer realizes
that he : is too big business man
to waste time hitehing up and driving
to town, using good share of a day
in the process, when he can get to
town in half an hour in car. He
finds the automobile Is an important
part of the farm equipment. He can
jack up rear wheel, clamp fly
wheel to it, and use the engine as
power plant to saw wood, or drive
separator. In addition to it's imme-
date usefulness it gives his family
an opportunity to get about in way
that is impossible with horses. The
motor car is coming to be regarded
more and more by progressive farm
ers as an essential part of the ma
chinery of the place. 1t isn't lux
ury. 1t is a necessity.

Never was greater folly uttered
than this: "No man is indispensable"
OF course the world can go on living
without an Alexander Hamilton, a
Samuel Morse, Beethoven or a
Shakespeare, but as was once said Of
Benjamin Franklin, nobody can take
his place. Nobody has yet taken r..
II. Harriman's place. We will know
20 years hence if anybody in oil
really took the place of RockefelleE
Rogers, Flagler and Hardness, or only
succeeded them. Who will match the
elder Cramp in giving us something
proportionately in ship yards? Who
is the next Baldwin? What little
Philadelphia boy is the future A. j.
Drexel, who shall not only be bank
or but a world known force in bank
ing? Edison cannot go on forever,
What legal brain can do what John
G.. johnson has done? Ask Williams
college if it has ever replaced old
Mark Hopkins. He was worth more
to any college than ten dormitories.
Forward looking leaders are towns
most precious capital.
Give me men to match my mountains,
Men to match my boundless plains,
Men with empires in their purpose
And new eras in their brains.

the kidney secretions were too fire.

After taking four boxes of Doan's
kidney pills every symptom of the
trouble disappeared. Several weeks
ago my back again began to bother
me, but Doan's kidney pills brought
me good results
Over two years later, Mr.. Orion
said: Nothing has occurred to change
my high opinion of Doan's kidney
pills. l can say that continued use
of this fine medicine made a perma-
nent cure.'
Price fifty cents at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy
