The "Ear of Dionysius."

A cunningly constructed prison cav
ern, consisting of a large chamber con-
nected with one of smaller dimensions
situated near Syracuse, Italy. has gone
into legendary history with the title
Of the Ear of Dionysius."
The smaller chamber was unknown
to the prisoners kept in this under
ground dungeon. and the tyrant by
whose name it is known had habit
of sccreting himself there to listen to
the conversation of the convicts. who
were mostly political offenders.
An ingenious device constructed at
the smaller end of the larger chamber
transmitted the sounds through the
partition, thus enabling the suspicious
ruler to hear even the whispered con-
versations of bis suspects" -

Items of Interest From
Surrounding Territory

That night at l0:45 when the auto
drew up at the residence he had Sc
recently left in high spirits and per-
fect health, solemn silence prevailed
all around and hush stilled every one
in submissiveness Who was secure, il
this strong man in his prime was to be
cut off thus with no sign of the ap-
proach of death? The brave family
endured their loss with calmness, and
CENTRALIZED in each others affection so
characteristic of the father, the sons
and daughters wreathed their mother
with the tenderest care This entire
region attended the last services in
the Methodist church and all placed
a Hover to his memory.
Thus died one Of our leading citi-
zens, leaving behind him a wealth of
esteem and respect as heritage for
the remnant family. A peaceful way
to die, and for the family, memory
holds naught but visions of love and
regard for him who never purposely
caused them moments unnecessary
pain. He was good man and died
the death of the righteous, and hap
piness was in every fiber of his being
as he stood upon the threshold OF
death, yet unaware of its approach.
We all bow to the enevitable and in
our hearts we place a monument for
the splendid neighbor who has thus
gone on before.
