HEARD AND SEEN HERE AND THERE.
Bv Earl Goodwin.

Probably the only time telling,
alarm clock jackass that ever lived
since the world began was a native of
lis of the middle west whose seventeen
hundred inhabitants live on the brick
industry and its by-products. This re-
markable animal belonged to Joe Gias-
cock. the marshal of Veedersburg. the
highest-paid official in town. His SAL
ary was $40 month. The mayor re-
ceived 5000 a year. and in view of the
disparagement in salaries Joe always
looked upon himself somewhat as a
Russian serf looks on the combined
roster of czars. czarinas and czaro-
witzes since the time OF Peter the
Great. He may have commanded at
tention as a marshal of Veedersburg.
but had he been endowed with an At
lantic-coast sense of business he could
have been a millionaire before now.
For Joe Glascock achieved the un-
heard-of feat OF teaching that jackass
of his to bray loudly once every hour
exactly on the hour.
And for this veedersburg became in
famous among all the cities of the In
diana brick and horseradish belt Joe
kept his equine Ingersoll in a stable in
the middle of the town. far removed
from trick wires and apparatus of
every sort. and regularly as the clock
hands rolled around, that jackass
would lift his head in his stall and emit
loud and raucous boots. 1t was no com
mon braying, either. That animal
would begin with a little snicker, like
the whinny of a pet Shetland pony.
and then, after having tried out his
vocal cords and pipes, he would pull
out the stops a bit and rumble about
in the louder and deeper tones until he
had the situation well in hand, and
would then step on the accelerator, and
then draw out the bass stops. the for
tissimo. the double fortissimo and the
grandioso. and start donkey roar that
would curdle cream in the next county.
People who have gone fifty miles to
hear Joe Glascock's jackass bray IL
O'Clock have had ear trouble ever since,
and a throat specialist who went all
the way from Nova Scotia to Veeders-
burg to make sure the stories were
true came away declaring that Joe
must have coated that donkey's throat
with lava. He figured that according
to scientific principles no throat of
mere animal tissue could have lived
through one second of that maelstrom
of noise which was emitted from that lit
tie jacks mouth. 1t was like having a

WORK OF THE D. A. R.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The twenty-f1fth annual congress OF
the National Society of the Daughters
OF the American Revolution, held in
Continental Hall here. has just ad-
Journed. The Daughters, of whom
there are now quarter of a million
have returned to their various commu-
mites with new suggestions and ideas
for their local activities in "cherishing,
maintaining and extending institutions
of Amerca and fostering true patriot
ism and love of country"
While much publicity has been given
the genealogical research work of the
organization. few people are aware of
the practical activities of the society
In the present preparedness campaign
alone the D. A. r. is a considerable
factor, standing ready to provide a
generous supply of nurses. hospital
equipment and other aid within its
scope and influence.
During the Spanish American war
the organization was still in it's in
fancy. Nevertheless it contributed a
hospital garments, spent 100000 in
purchasing delicacies for sick soldiers
and looking after their families. in ad-
tion to which it presented a steam
launch to the hospital ship Missouri. to
be used in transporting sick soldiers
to and from the vessel. Two years ago
when war with Mexico appeared inev-
table, the society Immediately notified
the President of it's desire to do its
share of patriotic service. Now that
war is again imminent the same offer
of assistance is forthcoming.

of the country. Patriotic societies are
encouraged among children. who are
taught to revere the flag and honor the
great patriots of American history. One
of these Junior societies. "Children of
the Revolution" is composed of young
sters whose heredity makes them ell
gible for membership in the d. A. r.
become twenty-one. Another society,
known as Children of the Republic.
was organized especially for i'm
migrant children, who are properly
awed by the nobility and greatness OF
Uncle Sam and are enthusiastic in
their pledges of allegiance to the flag.
No other organization has done so
much to eliminate the hNphen among
immigrants in this country. The d. A
r. has established citizenship classes
and has arranged for lectures in va
rious languages on American citizen
ship and history. The Connecticut chap
ters Of the society have published an
immigrants guide in four different Ian
suages, including Italian. Polish and
Yiddish. This guide is sort of United
States almanac, giving the laws and
institutions Of the country: the value
of lands available Tor settlement the
locations Of foreign settlements in va :
rious states: the approximate cost of
stalking land claims and the buying or
leasing of farms, naturalization laws,
marriage laws and all other laws likely
to affect the immigrant. and also the
addresses Of the consuls representing
each nation in America Printed for
free distribution in Connecticut, this
guide is now available In all of the
larger cities.

ciety has traced the history of Ameri-
can music and even American cook
ing. discovering many ancient recipes
that were fashionable among the orig
inal American aristocrats. One, trans
lated from the Dutch by Mrs. French
Chadwick. wife of Rear Admiral Chad
wick. is for "taart van OYSTERS" and
says: Take oysters from the shell
with the liquor; put these on the under
crust of the pie. with butter. pepper,
nutmeg and cracker crumbs over them.
Spread over this capers and thin slices
of lemon. Squeeze the juice of one
orange over the whole before putin q
on the upper crust"
While the y. A. r. has encountered a
certain amount of popular ridcule ow-
ing to its great respect for conspicuous
ancestry, from this it may be. seen that
the organization is doing actual work
for the progress of the people as well
as in keeping the records of the nation.
From small society of a few members
it has grown until it's insignia is recog-
nized even in Europe. The D. A. R.
magazine states that at the beginning
of the European war members wearing
ID. A r. pins in the belligerent coun-
tries were shown every courtesy and
consideration, as compared with those who
did not. while in st. Petersburg the en-
blem was recognized on the coat of an
unknown dead woman, whose body was
sian church until it could be sent back
to America. Should the United States
become involved in war the services of
such large organization of patriotic
women as the ID. A. r. would be of in
eStimable value

In helping the mountain schools of
the southern states the organization
spends annually $4,000. Last year the
Arkansas chapters Of the organization
gave nine scholarships in the Helen
Dunlap School of Winslow. Ark, and a
little over 5000 for clothing. In this
school the cost of nine months of board
and instruction is only $50. so that
many girls are able to work their way
through. The members of the Mis-
souri, chapters pay 10 cents per capita
toward the maintenance of scholarships
in the mountain school of the Ozarks
in southern Missouri: in North Caro-
lima the daughters built and maintain
a mountain school, and the South Caro-
lima members have an Industrial school
for mountain pupils. The New York
chapters last year contributed over
$40. 900 for educa tional and philarthropic
work
There are still more than million
people in the mountain districts of the
southern states who cannot read or
write, many of whom are Americans
of the oldest and purest English stock.
OF the 100000 foreign-born residents
in the United States over 100000
adults cannot speak English and are
not receiving any instruction. Half of
this number cannot read or write in
any language at all. The n. A. r. is
now making plans to eradicate as much
of this illiteracy as possible.
