KINGDOM OF POLAND
IS ESTABLISHED AGAIN

Berlin, Nov. 5.-"Polish PROV
inces occupied by troops Of the
central powers, says the Over
seas News agency, were the
scene today of a great and mo-
mentous historic event. Germany
and Austro-Hungary by joint ac-
ton proclaimed Warsaw and
Lublin, the kingdom of Poland,
and re-cstablished the right of the
Polish nation to control its own
destinies, to live an independent
national life and to govern itself
by chosen representatives Of the
nation.
A few days ago a Polish decla-
ration had called upon the imper-
ial chancellor, Dr. Won Bethmann-
HollWeg. It's members were rep
resentative Poles of all classes, all
parties, all ranks of society and
all creeds. They transmitted to
the German government the wish
IS of the Polish nation which now
have been granted to them.
Thus the ancient kingdom Of
Poland, from which in the past
came famous rulers like the Jage-
Homes "a dynasty founded by Jag
ello), which reigned in Poland
from 1886 to 1891, and glorious
soldiers like the great Sobieski
(John III, king of Poland in 1914
1900, is now resurrected to new
life. The poles are free from
Russian oppression, no more to
be trodden under the heels of the
cossack. The liberty that had
been destroyed a century ago on
Russian instigation now is restor-
ed. The rule>of the knout has
been abolished. Poland has been
given back to western civiliza-

AUTOMOBILE TRIP
THROUGH THE SOUTH
WAS INTERESTING


to build, and we truly began to realize
what war meant when we went into
the dungeon of the guard room, then
into the room of torture--frst, where
there were six crosses of different
sizes, used to tie the prisoners so that
they could just stand on tip toe, then
the room where the prisoner would be
place upon a board and their bodies
stretched until torn limb by limb;
from here we went into the room
where never q sound could reach the
ear from the outside world, and at
the time of the Spaniards knew they
were to lose the fort they had man
and woman in q cage separated where
they could not kill each another, and
chained to a cage in this secret dun
geon. The opening to the dungeon
was walled up so that no one knew
of the place and it was years before
it was found. When you are in this
room and have the lights, which have
been installed, turned out, you can
easily imagine the awfulness of know
ing you were there for life. In one
corner of the room was a hole
on the bottom of which was quick
sand, and it is said here is where they
buried their prisoners. They would
be quickly enveloped by the the quick
sand and no trace was left to tell how
they died. After a visit to the won
derful Fort Marion we can well realize
what the horrors of warfare in those
days was like. In this city is also
located Ponce de Icons tabled,
Fountain of Youth" 1t is quaint
old city and is beautiful place with
its narrow streets and queer old build
ings.
The capitol buildings are perhaps
not so fine outside as some, but the
displays inside are fine, and the hos
pitality they show to strangers makes
one feel that too much cannot be said

A Feature of Native Festivals ane

Instead of exchanging cards the well

their esteem on New Years day by

with gold leaf. As the natives have
several New Years days OF their own
In addition to the special ones OF the
English. the Mohammedans and the
Tamil and Telugu branches Of the
Hindus. the gilded lines are passed
around rather frequently. The custom
is a purely local one, and ii had its
origin so far back that no one re.

In addition TO the New Years festi

scented to the host at the ordinary
''tamash" or social gathering. If a ma

not to mention gold covered ones, be

1t is said that a great quantity OF
brass leaf is used for decorating lines
for these special occasions, and the
bazaar trade in this kind Of gilt is very
large throughout the southern part OF
India. Brass leaf is sold also for the
decoration Of gilded caps. or "topL'
worn by the Mohammedans in that
part OF India. as well as for ornament
ing the dress of the Mohammedan wo-
men.-New York Herald.

andoah Valley pike. i suppose this is
the most wonderful pike drive of 1874
miles in the world 1t is between the
Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains.
We left Staunton, Va, at 1915 o'clock
paying toll every few miles, crossing
the Shenandoah river through Mount
Jackson, passing through several
covered bridges, passing over the
same ground over which Sheridan
made his famous ride during the Civil
war.
We started to cross the Blue Ridge
mountains. After travelling among
them until 2:30, we came upon bad
piece of ice, where the road had been
oiled. About four miles up our car
could not climb any higher, SO Floyd
put on the brakes, but could not keep
the car from sliding. Mr.. Himelber-
ger got out just in time to see us slide
backward on the road at about a in
cline of 90 degrees and the bottom of
the mountain was hundreds of feet
below. The car lodged about thirty
feet below the road bed without tip
ping over, breaking a rib for Violet
as well as hurting her shoulder and
spine. The trees broke through the
back of the machine where she sat.
The other three OF us escaped without
any injuries except quite a shock.
By means of men and team we had
the car pulled out and over the slip
perry place, enabling US to make our
way into Bedford, Pa, that night. We
employed the services of a physician
that night and again in the morning
for Violet and had the car repaired
temporarily. We then started on our
way, crossing the Allegheny mount
aims. We passed the walls of on old
toll house built in 1920. One of the
most beautiful sights in the mountains
is to see the snow-covered trees.
We stayed at a farm house,over a
hundred years old, owned by a Mr..
Salyer, which used to be stopping
place for stage coaches in an early
day. In the morning Mr.. Salyer's son
hltched on to the auto to help us to
the top of Laurel Ridge, which was
about four miles through the snow
and we feared we might get stalled it
was so deep. We passed on to New
Brighton, making 101 miles that day,
and arrived in Bedding after visiting
Michigan relatives on March 6.

FIX HIS NAME AND FACE.


Recipe Of . Politician Fer Remember
ING HE Aequsintaness.
In the American Magazine q writer
says:
MY acquaintance was large, and I
was not only embarrassed, but annoyed
and hurt. by my failure to remember
much more prominent men.
Zone day In hotel lobby \ member
Of congress from my state. who had
been In congress for ten years. spoke
to me heartily. and as shook hands
with him ! committed the unpardon-
able error OF asking him who he was.
He happened 10 be a man or good
politician. and here IL what he said to
me. after he led me away to seclud-
ed corner:
Remembering new acquaintances
Is habit quite easily formed. There
are 1900 voters In my district, and
I can speak TO four-flfths Of them
by their first names. Ordinarily. when
you are introduced 10 a man or when
you see him at distance. you hear his
name. but your mind is on something
else. When his name Is pronounced
to me have firm grip on his hand and
am looking ut the color Of his eyes
with my whole power Of mind focused
on that one combination Of name and
face. II the thing Is done faithfully
there is not one chance in hundred
that anything can blot out the memory
In ten years."

In praise Of southern courtesy"
On February 18th the tourists left
yackonsville for Michigan, coming to
Richmond, Va, and remaining a week.
She says:
February "a we left Richmond,
stopping at farm house about forty
miles out after laboring through Vir-
glnia's red clay and a rainstorm most
of the way so that we were wet and
tired that night, but the kind people
we stayed with made US very com
Portable. They told US that there was
a bad place a few miles ahead and
that no cars try to go through il as
all became stuck and had to be pulled
through. We hired young man and
his team to go right along with us,
this being the first time our car was
ever hitched on to in all our travelling,
although we have pulled out several
other cars from bad places. We came
to the bad place in the road and the
team and our car pulled right through
without stopping. The road was in
very bad shape, however. We rode
all that day through mud staying at
large southern home, called Mt.
View, which had been used for hos
pital during some of the battles of the
Civil war. The dear old lady, who
owned the house at that time and who
still lives there, told us very interest
ingly of the bullets whizzings around
their heads when they were caring
for the injured from the battle, and
she told of the way her slaves stayed
with her after the war and how they
cried when it became necessary for
them to leave.
We passed property formerly own
ed by Thomas jefferson.
We left Brownsville on the 9th and
had beautiful view Of the snow-cap-
ped mountains and forded ford with
our Ford" at Vacy Mills and came
to fine macadam pike. Where we
begin climbing the mountains through
little town called Alton. 1t is
wonderful climb, with granduer un-
folding before you every moment. At
Rockfish Gap the wind and cold struck
US, so cold for a moment, then we go
down the other side, paying toll ev-
cry few miles, but the pixies are we'll
worth paying toll to ride over.
We ate dinner at Waynesboro, then
started out over that wonderful Shen-

Bach Had the Melody In Him and JUS,

The Duke of SAKE Weimar once In

Of German music, TO attend q dinner
at the palace. Before the guests sat
down to the feast Bach was asked TO

the lips Of man dying Of thirst. Now
have drunk the glass out and am
content"
