The Wesley Oak.

The Wesley oak, according to the At
lanta (Ga.) Journal, stands on St ST.
mons island, less than a mile from
Fort Frederick. 1t Is 200 feet high,
and its cool shade rests like bene-
diction over an area Of several acres.
According to local tradition, this tree
marks the exact spot on which the
Wesleys preached. Charles Wesley en-
gagged himself to Oglethorpe as private
secretary before leaving England. But
he afterward took orders and devoted
much of his time to preaching near
Frederick. From time to time John
Wesley came down from Savannah to
toin him. This famous oak stands at
the gateway to the churchyard OF
Christ church, and several generations
sleep within the Enclosure that 1t
guards. Moses hang down from its
limbs, and it is solemn and beautiful

Lotteries for the purpose Of raising
money for the state have never caught
on In England. But for definite ends
Of q semistate character, such as build
ing canals or founding British muse

Our first recorded lottery Is that OF
1900, when the prizes were pieces OF
plate, the chances 10000 for 10 shil-
Hngs each and the desirable object the
maintenance Of harbors. But once
familiar grown. lotteries corrupted the
ancient virtues Of John Bull and by
the time Of Queen Anne the state step

lottery as a public nuisance. BY an
act passed in 1923 sanction was given
to a particular lottery, and that was
the last At the same time all sale OF
tickets for home or foreign lotteries

Erench Army Helmets.

There are sixty-four distinct opera
lions necessary in turning out one OF
the plain steel helmets worn by French
soldiers. The first step Is stamping

special machine Is used for this pur-
pose, e1erting q pressure Of 150 tons
and capable of cutting out 5000 steel

der a shaping machine, which presses
the disk into the form Of helmet with
q broad rim. Polishing and cutting
machines remove all irregularities In
the helmet, after which it has holes
punched in the crown, some for ven
tilation purposes, others for fastening
on the regimental crest. Each helmet
is cleaned and dipped In a special mix
ture which makes it dull, inconspic'

United States.

IF you should hear some stranger
mention the United States are you pos
five that you would know what he
meant? In the eastern part of South
America the term United States" Is
regarded as an unqualified designation
Of the republic Of Brazil, while little
way to the north the term Is taken to
refer to Venezuela. In almost all parts
Of the southern continent the mention
Of a country in the northern hemis-
phere called United States" IS likely
TO suggest Mexico, whose official title
Is Estados Unidos Mexicanos. There
are still those who speak Of the repub-
lie of Colombia as "the United States,
because during the period when its
federal constitution was in force, from
1861 to 1886, it was called Estados
Unidos de Colombia. st Louis Globe

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root Of
all genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives Of many, It
constitutes the true source Of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within invariably fnvig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to a certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves. and where men are sub
jected to overguidance and overgov-
eminent the inevitable tendency Is to

Sandusky, O.-The village Of Clyde,
fourteen miles southwest Of this city,
was the home not only Of the highest
ranking officer killed during the civil
war, but also Of the first American
killed in the Spanish-American war.
1t has the distinction also of being the
nucleus of what is now the Women's
Relief corps. General ]. B. McPher-
son, killed at Atlanta In the civil war,
and George B. Mack, the first Ameri-
can killed in the SpaniSh-American
war, are both buried there.
According to Joel Elliot Of Clyde.
Mrs. Hattie Mcpherson, aunt Of Gen
eral Mcpherson, organized the first
Ladies' Aid society after the civil war
began, and it was from the Ladies' Aid
society of the sixties that the Women's
Relief corps of the present day grew.
Elliot says further that army rec
ords at Washington will show that in
proportion to population, more men
enlisted at Clyde for both the civil and
Spanish-American wars than from any
other place of it's size in the United
States.
President Garfield was to have been
the principal orator at the unwilling
of the Mcpherson monument when.
on Saturday, July, ?, 1881. he left the
White House to go to the seaside to
spend Sunday with his family before
proceeding to Ohio and was shot while

Later on 1 read 'Evangeline,' and my
heart went out to the poor woman and
her lover, but all of these things are
nothing compared to what went on In

want to give too many narrowing pic
lures, but I will say that have been

stories that have reached the United
States are founded on facts.

quietly and peacefully as possible, in
friendship and close contact with their
Turkish associates, when suddenly
they were picked out to be deported.
1t was then that my heart bled for
them. had been given the privilege
Of dispensing charity without stint and
with full authority on behalf of the

natiOns-even the Servians had sent me
money, and Russia and Italy permit

in my charge. Suddenly, without avail
able funds, was confronted with the
terrific problem of the destitute Ar
menians. Can you conceive how I felt?
1t was then that sent an appeal to the
secretary Of state for help, and the re-
Spouse came promptly.
"If the people Of the United States
could only see the distress as 1 have
seen it! If they could see the gaunt lit
tie figures of children, the little or
phans brought to ConStantinople by
friendly Turkish officers, the need Of
prompt aid would be fully realized. If
I dared repeat the tales 1 have heard,
sworn to and signed, they would make
men and women weep, and every one
would see the need Of sympathy and
help.
There Is no use Of accusing anybody
or finding fault with any one. What
this great country should do to show
its appreciation Of the wonderful bless
tngs that have been showered upon US
Is for each one Of Us to make up his
mind to do his share.
