Lyceum Course Begins

The announcement of the first num-
Der Of the Lyceum course for this sea-
son IN Somervile is made in this issue
of The Falcon. Last year there was
given a series of six entertainments
under the auspices of the high school
and there was a loss on the contract
which loss was borne individually by
the principal Of the school, we have
heard, tho not from him. This season
the Ladies of the School Improvement
Association have obligated that organi-
cation to meet the needs of the course
and contracts have been signed to that
effect. The first entertainment will
be on Monday night, the l6 instant,
and the public is cordially invited.
Admission will be rs and so and
season tickets can be bought of any
lady who belongs to the School I'm
provement Association or from Mrs.
H. P. Hobson who is president of the
association, the price being $3.50 for
adults and 81 25 for children for the
six entertainments.
There is no institution of the town
that deserves the support of its citi-
zens more than a first class lyceum
course and we have confidence enough
in the ladies of this organization to
make US believe that they have made
good choice of program.

DRIVEN INSANE BY 100
CIGARETTES A DAY
Sent to an Asylum Upon Saloon
keepers Complaint and Doc
tors Testimony.

Detroit, Mich.-Frank Winters, the
man who smoked a hundred cigarettes
a day, was committed to the Pontiac
asylum by Judge Hubert recently ia
the probate court
The incessant use of the cigarettes
was declared by DR.. S. L. Layton, who
examined Winters, to have affected his
mind. Frequenting a saloon at the cor
ner of Chamberlain and Lawndale ave-
nues, Winters smoked until his supply
gave out and his money too. After
that he begged smokes from the Gus
toners of the saloon, according to Jo-
seph Berman, the proprietor of the
place.
Berman petitioned the court TO have
Winters taken to an asylum. A Ger
man by birth, Winters was getting
along well i'll this country until the
cigarette habit got the upper hand
Given jobs by Berman, Winters even
lost his power of application to simple
work.
"No more work for me-" he would
say as he would sit down on the job,
Berman told Investigators.
The nicotine undoubtedly had a de-
teriorating effect on his mentality, DR.:

BOY HAS ID GRANDPARENTS
Unusual Wealth of Relatives Claimed
For Indiana YOUTH

Delphi, Ind.-Dean Overholser, the
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Overhol-
ser, who live in the eastern part of
Carroll county, has fourteen grandpar-
ents, ten of them blood relatives and
four grandparents by marriage.
Following is the list: Grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Overholser,
George McManama and Mrs. James
Bridge; great grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. D. G. Overholser, Mr.. and Mrs.
William McManama, Isaac Wagner
and Mrs. Rachel Richardson. George
McManama and his first wife, who is
now Mrs. James Bridge, separated, and
each married again. Thus the little
OverholSer is entitled to four more
grandparents because of the fact that
ones grandfather's wife is his grand
mother and one grandmother's hlls-
band is his grandfather. The second
Mrs. George McManama, who was Or
pha Johnson, and the second husband
of Mrs. Bridge are also grandparents
Mrs. Bridges mother, Mrs. Margaret
Bridge, is living as well as the mother
of Orpha Johnson, which gives Dean

Elkhart, Ind.-Clarence Eddy. aged

Gus position in the vortex of big coal

He was freed when hole twelve
feet square was sawed in the siding of

knee deep in the constantly shifting

The temperature was 20 above zero.
During his Imprisonment Eddy had

working at the gate at the bottom of
the sixteen foot bin which contained
200 tons of finely crushed coal. Be
cause crust of ice had formed on the
top the coal did not drop as fast as de-

Old Friends.

Those that have loved longest love
best. A sudden blaze of kindness may
by single blast of coldneSs be eXtin-
guished. But that fondness which
length of time has connected with
many circumstances and occasions,
though it may for awhile be suppress
ed by disgust or resentment, with or
without a cause, is hourly revived by
accidental recollections. To those who
have lived long together everything
heard and everything seen recalls
some pleasure communicated or some
benefit conferred-some petty quarrel
or some slight endearment. Esteem
Of great powers or amiable qualities
newly discovered may embroider day

cannot easily be lost.-Samuel John

"The two houses are a good deal

of more people are engaging in it."

must be solved in Kansas are those of

FIND 20 INDIAN SKELETONS,
Suppositon That They Were Buried

Near Where They Fell In Battle.
Oregon City, Ore.-While excavating
for a basement near the river bank
workmen employed by Frank Busch
uncovered twenty skeletons of Indians
in one hole.
The bodies are supposed to be the re-
mains of Indians killed in battle, for in
one or two cases arrowheads have been
found caught between the bones.
The first trace Of the bones was
found early in the week, when the
workmen uncovered a skull. 1t was
buried by itself, and Mr.. Busch, who
had studied the find carefully, believes
that it belonged to chief or leader.
To prevent disturbing the bones the
workmen began eXcavating in another
place, and they found hole with a
radius of about six feet which Mr.
Busch estimates contains the bones of
at least twenty Indians. The skeletons
are lying like the spokes Of a wheel
with the skulls in the center. Over the
top of the grave was thick, hard crust
of baked clay that was hardened like
stone.

Four Great Musicians,

Palestrina was a revOlutionist In his
day, but is now virtually obsolete even
for the severest classicists. Gluck was
as radical an innovator as Wagner,
yet 1t is only occasionally and with
difficulty that one of his works can
now be briefly resuscitated. Beetho-
ven was a madman even to many Of
the best musicians as late as 1905.
when, as that musical veteran, Pro
fessor Haupt, himself said, the Fifth
Symphony" was rehearsed in Berlin
for the first time and the orchestra
dashed the music from the racks, de-
claring it was crazy and could never
be played. Now this same Fifth Sym
phony" is considered a model of form,
and its composer is the cherished idol
of conservatives and classicistS.

A POLITICAL BOOM" "
How the Idea of the Expression Came
to Its First User.

TO It's FIRST User.
The word "boom," as applied to pc.
lltical movement, SO far as known. was
first used by the editor of a Republican
newspaper in St Louis, Mo-, pending
the return Of General U. S. Grant from
the trip around the world undertaken
by him in 1876, Immediately following
his retirement from the presidency of
the United States.
The term was used so persistently
and so cleverly that it soon began to
lodge in popular thought and to take
on the meaning which the editor in
tended to convey when he declared
that the movement looking to IL third
term for Grant was booming" OF
when he employed the invention as a
noun and spoke of "the Grant boom"
The idea had come to him from a
common expression used by the peo,
pie along the Mississippi river. When
that stream was at f1oodtide and sweep
ing everything before it it was said to
be booming" The st. Louis editor
aimed tr convey the thought that the
movemeLs for the nomination OF
Grant for the presidency in 1880 was
like the onward sweep of a great river
under such conditions, and therefore a
boom.
The term soon came into general use
and has been applied in the United
States ever since, alike to spontaneous
and preconcerted or organized move
ments looking to the placing of some
person in an office Of Importance, not
