The First War.

The first writing known to scholars
was the account of war waged be-
tween hostile nations in Mesopotamia,
perhaps $500 B. G. The first battle
was that between Cain and Abel APP
parently men have always been quick
to settle their differences by fighting.
The first warlike king is said to have
been OsymandyaS of Egypt, who pass
ed into Asia and conquered Bactria in
2100 B. G.. PalamedeS Bacgos is
mythically reported to have been the
first who ranged an army in regular
line Of battle. placed sentinels round a
camp and excited the soldiers vigi-
lance by givin" him Il password. This
occurred during the siege Of Troy, the
date of which is variCusly estimated at
about $500 years before the Christian
era.-Pittsburgh Press.

Why Not Be Friendly

Less than a third Of the people In
the average American neighborhood
are natives. In thousands Of cases
practically all the population was born
elsewhere. So why stand or when
some one moves In from another sec
tion? Why be niggardly with neighbor
illness? OF course one may make an
occasional mistake, but for every I'M
desirable acquaintance we find several
good people worth knowing. You,
your neighbOr and the newcomer are
problems of your community, and as
each of you may be the other two the
problem ought to be simple.

United States.

If you should hear some stranger
mention the United States are you pos
tive 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 1856, it was called Estados
Unidos de Colombia" st. Louis Globe

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 a 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
Join him. This famous oak stands at
the gateway to the churchyard Of
Christ church, and several generations
sleep within the Enclosure that it
guards. Moses hang down from its
limbs, and it is solemn and beautiful.

Salt 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 invig-
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 SUBJ
jected to overguidance and overgov-
eminent the inevitable tendency Is to
render them comparatively helpless
