Descendants Of Heroes

Modern dwellers in Greece feel themselves to be the direct descend- ants Of Byzantine Greeks and of the heroes of glorious classic Greece Mr. Moses writes; and he continues. their life has shown a persistent continuity which warrants their claim. for wheth- CT their land has been ruled by a Roman emperor. a Frankish duke. & Venetian baillie, or a Turkish pasha, the thread of Hellec existence has re- mained unbroken Their religion. their tongue. and their tradition have survived al lchanges of masters and an forms Of dominion. and so Creek character is much tine same today as it was 2.00O years ago
 In many respects, Greek life today. also is the same as t was at the birth Of Christ. says this writer who has seen Greek peasants ploughins with bent sticks. just as Adam may have accomplished his plouging after being banned from Paradise Athens. the splendid of old. and today be- coming the Paris of the Levant. however, according to Mir. Moses IS distinctly a modern city It has wide and gay streets. dotted with small parks. and adorned with many hand- some public buildings, most Of them gifts of rich Creeks who have spent t,," "ft, ~,otho,. country money earned abroad
 Greeks swarm the seas for living as of old he says, and, as of old their passionate sociability draws them from the country to tho towns and cities. One.tontb of the popula. ton of Greece is to be found in Ath- ems and Piracus The drain of emi- grafton from the rural districts to native cities and to cities in other lands is enormous, and, in the words of cabinet minister 1t constitutes ca grave national hemorrhage." In some villages in the Peloponnesus, Mir. Moses explains. there remain scarcely enough men to m the offices. Never theless he continues, emigration has been a benefit to the country, for i'm mense sums Of money are sent back every year. especially from America to families who remain behind. and to this steady American stream of gold may be traced the appreciation Of the Greek paper currency Many of Bur ope's backward nations. like Greece gathered much of their early stimulus fro mthe money which poured out oi 1 the rich United States back home.

OBITUARY.
GEORGE H. BROWN.

George H. Brown, formerly of Ellis
worth, died December "a at his home in
Sioux Falls, s. D., in the ninety. third year
Of his age.
Mr.. Brown was born in Clinton, Me-,
Aug. 81, 1928. During the California gold
mine excitement he went to California
with his brother John. He remained
there about two years, when he returned
to Maine and then went to Sherbrooke,
Can, where he was engaged in umbering.
In 1861 he was engaged by his brother,
Warren Brown, as superintendent OF his
mills in Ellsworth, where he married and
settled. In 1888 he, with his family, went
to South Dakota.
He is survived by his widow, Isabel,
only daughter Of the late John L. Moor,
of Ellsworth, and five children all mar
ried. They are-Albert, in the oil busi-
ness at Tampico, Mexico; George, in the
Sioux Falls Office Of the Rock Island rail-
road; Ferdinand, physician, practicing
at Sioux Falls; Mrs. Annie Brown Orton,
Of Ortonville, Minn., and Mrs. Helen
Brown Clancey, OF Springfield, 8. D.
Relatives here are three brothers Of Mrs.
Brown-Henry L., Nathaniel and Frank
P. Moor, and several nieces and nephews.
He had one nephew eighty years old.

popular married woman. The merchants
uniting in the plan are Charles H. Le-
land, Smith & Head, M. L. Adams, E. F.
Robinson Co., s. K. Whiting, Century
Boot Shop. Votes will be given with
each 1O-cent purchase at either OF the
stores during the contest.
A petition is now being circulated
among the farmers OF Ellsworth and
vicinity for an agricultural extension
school to be held here the latter part OF
January or early in February. Twenty
five petitioners are necessary to ensure the
school, and about fifteen have already
signed the petition. This is a matter in
which the farmers of this vicinity should
interest themselves. Last year Hancock
held most successful school, and plans
to have another this year. The expense,
it is estimated, will not be more than Is
or 30 cents for members for the three days.
The petition is now in the hands OF H.
F. Whitcomb, and farmers interested
should not delay seeing him, signing the
petition, and making sure the three-day
school for Ellsworth.
The entertainment and ball at Hancock
hall last evening was largely attended.
1t was given under the management of q
few young men OF Ellsworth as testi-
monial to Fred E. Cooke, janitor and
manager Of Hancock hall, in appreciation
OF hie efficient services and help given in
the past IN arranging amateur theatricals
for the benefit Of the hall. The people
responded Loyalty, as the work of Mr.
Cooke is appreciated by ali. Tue musical
Tinkers gave a novel and interesting en-
tertainment OF instrumental and vocal
music, and introduced some novelties also
in the music for the ball which followed
Ice-cream and cake were served in the
board of trade room. In all, it afforded 9
pleasing entertainment and most en-
joyable party, and its financial success
was gratifying to the thoughtful pro-
moters.

ssThe Birth of q Nation, -

In screen spectacles, one Of the tri-
umphs proclaimed throughout the world
is D. w. Grifath's great picture, ''The
Birth of Nation," the most glorious
spectacle ever presented to man and ex-
pected to be the pinacle Of film art for the
next twenty years to come. One may have
seen big productions in the photodrama-
"Quo Vadis", 1.-THE Fall Of Pompeii",
"Cabiria" and others-but before "The
Birth of Nstion" all of these must bow.
its showing at the Bijou theater, in
Ellsworth for three days commencing
Jan. 13, will undoubtedly be the signal
for rush OF people to see this spectacle,
OF which such tremendous amount OF

Washington. 1t was announced that
grand jury Investigations, under fed
eral law would be made.
1t is possible, that, at the first, the
administration really did fail to be-
lieve that the republican party was
reuniting around its old leaders. AT
any rate, it soon made the discovery
that there was not a shadow of a
case Of fraud to be shown against the
former speaker, and when the grand
jurors assembled in Danville and re-
viewed the case, they were not slow
in reaching the same conclusion. At
the close Of the work they signified
to Mr. Cannon that they would be
glad to call upon him, and were cor
daily invited to come.
1t was a Smoker" of course, with
Uncle Joe in his best vein and best

his prime Havanas a trifle strong, and
marveled that man at his age could
consume so many. They had a pleas
ure in watching the smoke of an old
man who has come back" after a
thousand brass-faced gongs had
counted him down and out. They took
a personal view of the case. The
political view is as interesting.-Gl Globe

Some History Of Canes.

General use of canes or walking
sticks was at one time forbidden in
Rome by imperial edict. except to per-
sons of patrician rank. thus making 1t
4 privilege which came to be popular
among the nobility and eventually a
distinction. The women OF this time
carried them also, their richly and
Artistically decorated canes serving as
4 rod for the punishment of their
slaves. The cane appeared in Eng
land as the badge of aristocracy in
about the fifth century. but after serv-
ing this purpose for some time, came
into the hands of the humber and
was dropped by those Of higher social
standing. 1t was re-established in its
true form by the pilgrims and soldiers
returning from the Holy Land during
the Crusades. and soon came into pop
ularity again. With a revival of the
cane among the gentry came a period
Of decoration, and canes of exquisite
=asn end of great value resulted.

refused to let us have any, but after
some bargaining they traded a fat
steer for so cigarettes.
Every soldier in our army is sup
piled with two cigars every day at
present. Besides almost everybody
receives tobacco from home. But some
Of the cigars we receive are terrible.
They are so bad we could. not smoke
them. So we threw them over to the
French, who eagerly gathered them in.
They were so delighted that they gave
US some cognac in exchange, for they
seem to be well supplied with both
brandy and wine This was before
they commenced to smoke the cigars.
After they had lighted them they got
highly indignant and commenced to
fire at US like mad.
There were days when we had
nothing to smoke but dried tea leaves
and straw. Then again we have to-
bacco, but nothing to light our pipes
with. We are not permitted to have
fire in the trenches, for the smoke
would draw the enemy's fire. Matches
are very scarce and our electric flash
lights give light, but no fire. So one
of my comrades has overcome this
difficulty by using strong magnify
ing glass which he found in the pocket
of a French officer killed in battle.
This works all right when the sun is
shining.
"At times cigars were so scarce we
used to throw dice in order to decide
to how many puffs each one of us
was entitled. was unfortunate
enough to get only three puffs."

A certain mill owner was getting
very exasperated with his men over
the condition of the cloth which they
produced. Out of about every ten
lengths sent through to the warehouse
five or six OF them had holes in. In
the hope Of stopping this the pro
prietor informed the men that for all
the holes they made he would stop a
shilling in their wages. The next
week length came in with two holes
in It close together. The proprietor.
therefore. sent for the man who had
done 1t and said:
Now. Jones. I told you that for
every hole that you made in the cloth
you would be fined one shilling. and
here is a piece with two holes in"
Jones picked up the cloth and looked
at it. then suddenly tore the two holes
into one.
That saves a shilling. then" he
said.
