WOODEN BUGLE is HISTORIC
Brought to America by the
Pilgrims.

r. III. Bever, living near Hillsboro,
Ind, has a bugle, said to have been
made in England early in the seven
teenth century, according to an ex-
change. 1t is three feet long, made
of cedar wood in two sections which
are glued together. K is about three
inches in diameter az the base and
tapers uniformly to point.
Around ii are ten crude rings made
from sections OF buffalo horn. Il was
brought TO America in 1920 by the Pill
grims, it is believed, and tradition
says IL was carried by the army Of
Miles Standish in the expedition
against the Indians. The earliest au-
thentic account of it dates back to
colonial days. 1t was used at the Bos-
ton tea party and was carried by the
minute men In the battle of Lexington
and Bunker HILL
At Bunker Hill the instrument was
struck by British musket ball and a
portion of the end was torn away. 1t
was at the siege OF Yorktown and
helped to celebrate the surrender Of
Lord CORVALLIS in 1871.
After the war the old bugle was
handed down as an heirloom in the
Bever family. Mrs. Michael Bever,
the reatgrandmother of the present
owner, died in Tazewell county, Illinois,
40 years ago, when she was one hum
dred and four years old She came in
to possession of the bugle when a very
small girl. and later prepared his
tory of it. Upon her death the old
heirloom was kept for time by Jo-
seph Bever, an old tanner of Hillsboro,
and II then passed into the hands of
l.. NJ. Cooper and wife Of Waynetown,
from whom r. NJ. Bever received it
| five years ago.

speech
The teacher had to tell the trustee

His Identity.

We met a man with the most as
toundingly lugubrious cast of counte-
nance that we had ever seen. Gloom
sat on his brow like a brooding con-
dor on her nest and an abysmaI sad
ness seemed devouring him.
All" said we, I'VE perceive that
you are celebrated wag, for in sooth,
we have never before in all of woes
appointed ways beheld such a persona
fication of Indebtedness.
No" he replied, Il am not humor-
list. l feel as sad as l look. l am a
pacifist, and believe that preparedness
will inevitably bring on war"
You dc we'll to mourn your awful
condition" we returned. IF you were
a humorist you might get over 1t. But
you are a dad-burned fool, and there
is no help for you!"

Biz Sturgeon on Trot Line.

A 400-pound fish was caught In the
Sacramento river by Eugene Barton.
the musical fisherman" Barton Is
called the musical fisherman" be-
cause his 200-foot trot line stretched
across the Sacramento at Middle
creek is equipped with chime of
twelve Swiss bells-one for each line
dangling from the main line with
spoon attached.
Berion's catch was sturgeon,
big fish that measured seven feet with
out the head. When the sturgeon
grabbed the hook every one OF the
twelve bells rang a clatter that awak-
ened him from his afternoon nap in
his cabin ashore.
The musical fisherman" was unable
TO land his big catch alone. He
had to call in the assistance OF two
neighbors. Barion's catch netted him

OWE DEBT TO SERVIAN BARDS
Men of Letters Have Kent Alive the
Spirit Of Liberty Which Is the
Country's Pride.

The schoolmaster as the citadel and
hope OF national aspirations is today
what he was a hundred years ago,
when Korais laid the foundations Of
Greek independence by purging the
native tongue of it's barbaric infec-
lions and bringing it as near as pos
sible to the language of Pericles r.
may be the professional schoolmas-
tiers, or it may be the professors. writ
ers, poets, who constitute themselves
the schoolmasters of a nation. With
the hedge priests OF Ireland who kept
alive the national spirit under fierce
prosecutions stand the Servian bards
who, through the centuries, kept the
national soul alive under the despot-
ism of the Turk. AS applied to racial
awakenings, Faust's conclusion is
wrong. In the beginning is not the
deed. but the word. the word that
often has to be taught to people that
has forgotten it, and even when half
learned falls upon their ears from an
ancient past as call to great deeds.
1t is the schoOlmaster and the book

olutions in our own day, the intellec-
tuals in Russia, Nansen and Sigurd
lbsen in Norway, Braga in Portugal,
DAnnunzio and Martinetti in Italy,

of the Gaelic league in Ireland Among
the Jews today the revival of national
aspirations expresses ITSELF in one
form, through the rebirth of the Ian
guage of the Bible as spoken tongue,
parallel strangely akin to the Gaelic
renaissance.-New York Evening Post

Special cable to EueninO Ledger

PARIS, June 27.--Russla will OFFER a
fine chance for investments after the war.
France already knows this field and has
many millions invested there in railways
and industries which have paid well. Rus
sa's own savings will give her much Of
her own money to use after the war, and
these savings will be increased by the re-
form in the consumption Of alcohol, but she
will still need money from outside.
Her first attention necessarily must be
given to the construction of new railways
the cost of new railways already planned
In Russia and Siberia will pass 5000, 900 600
After that must come subsidiary railways
canals, roads and the canalization of rivers,
agricultural projects, irrigation, the manu-
facture OF chemical fertilizers and aBri-
cultural implements, mechanical, electrical
and chemical industries weaving, paper
manufacture mining and the building of
ports--in fact, all the industries of great
modern civilization.
Regions In which particularly good cop-
portunties will be found are Siberia, Turk
istan the regions of the Steppes and North
ern Russia and the Caucasus.
The advantages of placing capital in
Russia will be increased by series of
legislative reforms, dealing with corpora
tons. passports, etc. of which some already
have been realized. while others soon
