THIS PIPE HAS A HISTORY
Was Smoked by Sir Walter Raleigh,
Who First introduced Use OF
Tobacco Into England.

A pipe with history is in the pos
session Of a collector in London which
was once the property of Sir Walter
Raleigh and is not unlike the letter
s'Y" in shape. For centuries it has
been kept in an inlaid box dated can
no, 1927" It is constructed in four
pieces of wood, rudely carved with
dogs heads and with the faces Of In
dams. On the bowl there is a cap
about as large as the bowl itself, and
attached to the stem is a string Of
beads made of the same wood as the
pipe. In this stem powerful whistle
has been cut, and the suggestion is
made that Sir Walter used it to sum"
mon his servants.
The Archaeological society exhibited
this pipe at Guildhall in the middle OF
the last century, the inscription accom-
panying it bearing these words: "The
original pipe of the above celebrated
historian of the world, and who first
introduced tobacco and potatoes into
England" Tradition, cOrroborated by
a parchment in the possession Of the
owner states that this pipe was
smoked by Sir Walter on the scaffold
Just before his execution and handed
to one of his relatives as a memento
OF him.

HOW INDIANS CATCH SALMON
Equipment Consisting of "Grab.
Hooks" and Long Poles Is Crude
But Very Effective.

The Indians fish for salmon with a
"grabhook," a large iron hook fastened
to a pole by loose cord three or four
feet long. A hole at the blunt end of
the hook that slips over the tip of the
pole keeps it in place until the fish is
hooked. Then the hook is pulled off the
pole and the cord gives the fisherman
chance to play his fish is necessary be-
fore dragging it ashore. The hooks
are made by the blacksmith, but the
poles, about twenty feet in length, the
Indians make themselves of red fir, the
Southern Workman says.
Taking a rough piece of dry wood of
the required length, they patiently
work at it with drawshave and knife
until it is the right size and tapered
to suit the workman. Then it is usu-
ally hardened in the Goals before put
ting on the cord, which they braid
themselves. If pole breaks, as often
happens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string, pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
q hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians general
ly fish from the bank or from plat
forms built over the water. They thrust
the long pole out across the river as
far as they can and let the current
carry it down and into the bank, trust
ing to chance and quick jerk to hook
the fish if they feel one in the water.

the Northwestern road last Sunday.
The two trains formerly going south at
1890 and north at ITO now pass here
at 1850. The evening train south is
five minutes later, now leaving at $3.50
p. m.
DR.. E. D. Bond of Philadelphia, Pa,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Bond of this
place, has been called by the govern
ment to Atlanta, Ca, Camp McPher-
son, to serve in the large department
hospital on nervous and mental dis
eases. DR.. Bond will rank as captain.
At a meeting held some time ago at
the Rock River Seventh-day Baptist
church, it was decided to sell the build
ing and the acre of ground upon which
it stands, and use the money received
as a fund for the old Rock River ceme-
terry. G. D. Balch, E. D. Vincent, II.
S. Green, S. S. Pierce and H. L. Baker
were the committee appointed to have
this in charge and arrangements were
made and the sale was held Wednesday
afternoon, at which time Walter Gull
len Sr. purchased the building for $3.50.
The lot has not yet been disposed OF.
The Rev. E. D. Van Horn, formerly
of New York City, was formally in

w. G.. Daland of Milton presided and
called on Prof. A. B. West, who spoke
in few we'll chosen words cf welcome
to the pastor in behalf of the church.
Rev. w. D. Hamilton Of the M. E.
church represented the other churches
and the town in extending warm and
cordial welcome to the new pastor.
The Rev. L. c. Randolph of the Milton
S. D. B. church spoke personally and
for the sister village in his earnest
words of welcome. DR.. Daland also
extended welcome in his usual pleas
ing manner. Pastor Van Horn then
made a response expressing his appre-
citation Of the kindly words of greeting.

Great Men Died Learning.

It is well to remember that the very
greatest men died learning, like Ba-
con and Pasteur. Socrates was enter
ing old age when he drank the hem
lock, but I do not think anyone would
say that his last words were, there
fore, of no worth. The greatest bene-
factions to humanity, the greatest
services to human thought have not
all been bestowed Or rendered by men
under twenty-five or even under forty
years of age, fact sometimes worthy
of remembrance. Do not, then, fall
victims to over-confidence and close
your mind. The injunction is as i'm
portant for youth as for age; easy Oh
attainment for the former, difficult for
the latter; possibly for both. The past
and the present, youth and age, new
and old, all have their place in the
sun; all are needed for the widest
learning, for the highest achievement,
for the best development Of mankind.

Her Memory Faulty.

She was middle-aged, stylishly
gowned and apparently sane. And she
was looking at the paintings in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art through a
gold-framed lorgnette, that dangled
from a jeweled gold chain.
Another woman was standing before
a canvas, and, in desire for informa
ton, or, perhaps, for the sake Of social
interchange, the lady Of the lorgnette
inquired, affably:
SIS that a picture Of the death OF
the Lord?"
"No, madam; it represents the mar
tyrdom of st. Sebastian

Lord, of course, but I aforementioned

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Mary Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use of Rising Infection.

It is q modern conversational fad to
Election q great deal, even when d
question is not intensled at ALL The
women are more apt to use it than the
men, and it started a few years ago,
merely as a pretty trick of talking,
with no harm in it, "nO harm l. tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But it has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder if it betokens
state of mind, or, on the contrary, if it
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For a rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when ap-
piled to a sentence that is supposed to
be a statement of fact, it necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
narrating some simple incident use
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
doesn't indicate just the right state Of
mind. If person has anything to
say and believes it, he should be will
ing to state it quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive ,one;, and a per-
son must needs be in rather pitiful
state of fear of his hearers opinions
if he is afraid to utter an affirmative
sentence.
