Pilgrims.

H. n Beger. living near HilEshoro.
md, has bugle, said to have been
made in England early in the sesea-
teenth century, according to an ex-
change. It is three feet long, made
of cedar wood IN two sections which
are glued together. It is about three
inches in diameter at the base and
tapers uniformly to q point.
Around 1t are ten crude rings naGs
from sections Of a buffalo horn. 1t was
brought to America in 1920 by the Piie
grims, it is believed, and traditie1.
says 1t was carried by the army CT
Miles Standish in the expedition
against the Indians. The earliest ag-
thentic account Of it dates back %
colonial days. It was used al the Bee-
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 a British musket ball and a
portion of the end was torn away. 1t

owner, died in Tazewell county, Illinois,
Is years ago, when she was one hun-
ared and four years cid. She came in
to possession of the bugle when very
small girl, and later prepared a his.
tory of it. Upon her death the old
heirloom was kept for time by Jo-
seph Bever, an old tanner of Hillsboro

n. vic,x 81 "a study 81 Latlsl.


Il one does not study things because
they train lie mind, why. then.
should one study them? The answer
Il exfraoTdl narilg simple. One studies
things because they serve purpose
do not sag, mark you, useful pur-
pose. but q purpose valsl purpose. q
genuine purpose. not make believe
purpose.
Mental discipline is NOT q valid or
genuine purpose it's a make believe.
Meanwhile the number of purposes, OF
genuine, valid purposes. Is simply In
finite. Learning to read yergii is, OF
course. just as valid a purpose as learn
Ing to play a symphony or learning 70
bake pumpkin pie. The test Is. how
ever, not. Did the student get mental
discipline? but Can ne real apd en-
joy vergi? can he play the symphony?
viii some one eat the pie?
And because people rarely care to
read yergil. because almost none of
the thousands who study Latin ever
can or do read Yergil, therefore, in so
far as they are concerned, studying
Latin has no purpose and cannot be
defended as mental discipline. -Abra-

Dad Was Puzzled.

In these days of good education chill

mothers know very little about.
Nora, aged nine, met her father the
the other day with her little blue eyes
full of tears.
"Oh, daddy!'' she walled. tive
just fallen and bumped my patella.'
"Dear, dear! Poor little girl!" said
father, sympathetically, as with the
best intentions in the world he bent
to examine her elbow.
Nora drew herself angrily away.
'Humphl" she snorted, with superior
air. 81 said my patella-that's not my

In. aauss Purity Sir.

1t has been calculated that single
tree is able through its leaves TO purify
the air from the carbonic acid arising
from the respiration OF considerable
number Of men. perhaps a dozen or
even more. The, volume of carbonic
acid exhaled by 81 human being in the
course of twenty-four hours is put at
abont 800 gallons, but by Boussin.
gault's estimate a single yard of lea
surface. counting both the upper and
the under side Of the leaves, can, in
favorable circumstances. decompose at
least a gallon Of earhonic acid a day.
One hundred square yards of leaf sur
face then would suffice to keep the
air pure for ons man, but the leaves
of a tree OF moderate size present a
surface Of many hundred square
yards. AL other forms OF vegetable
life act similarly in abstraeting the
noxious carbonic acid from the atmos-
phere.

she came running into the schoolroom,
clapping her hands with delight.
"Oh, Miss Nichols! They're coming

to the window and looking for-she
