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 collector In London which
was once the property Of Sir Walter
Raleigh, and Is not unlike the letter
'Y" In shape. For centuries 1t has
been kept In an inlaid box dated San
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 cap
about as large as the bowl itself, and
attached to the stem is 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 1t to sum-
mon his servants.
The Archaeological society exhibited
this pipe at Guildhall In the middle Of
the last century, the inscription accom-
panying 1t 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 d memento
of him.

Qrluin Of Sunerstitlons.

Mans curiosity is In excess of his
power to interpret and understand.
Consequently, he guesses, and when he
guesses wildly and--as 1t seems to 9TH
ers, probably of later date-inaccu-
,rately, his guess is called a supersti.
ton, writes j. Arthur Hill in Cham
bers Journal.
Owing to the innate conservatism
of human nature, superstition may
linger long after its origin Is COM
pletely forgotten and after people have
clearly seen that there Is no rational
evidence for the thing believed. This
applies to customs Of all sorts.

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use OF Rising infection.

1t Is modern conversational fad to
use the rising and interrogative In
Election great deal, even when a
question Is not intended at all. The
women are more apt to use 1t than the
men, and 1t started few years ago.
merely as pretty trick Of talking,
with no harm in It, mo harm / tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But 1t has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder If 1t betokens a
state of mind, or, on the contrary, II 1t
is likely to have an influence on the
mind. For rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when ap-
piled to sentence that Is supposed to
be a statement of fact, 1t 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 1t, he should be will
Ing to state 1t quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive one; and per-
son must needs be In a rather pitiful
state Of fear Of his hearers opinions

Judge Ellsworth Alaire followed her
letter in person, for, having at last de-
eided to divorce Ed, she acted with
characteristic decision. Since ELS
worth had more than once advised this
very course, she went to Brownsville,
enlisting his willing support. She had
written Dave Law, telling him that

suit. To be sure, she would have pre-
ferred some place Of refuge other than
"a Feria, but she reasoned that there
she would at least be undisturbed, and
that Ed, even If he wished to effect a
reconciliation, would not dare to follow
her, since he was persona non grata
IN federal Mexico.

Jose hesitated, and the smile van

Paloma was In the carriage at Dawes

muttering to himself queer delirious

"Oh, dad He's sick-sick," Paloma
sobbed. Dave, don't you know us?
You're home, Dave. Everything is

"Why, you'd hardly recognize the
boy!" Blaze exclaimed; then he added
his appeal to his daughters. But they
could not arouse the sick man from
his coma.

"l'm Going to Pack His Head in It."

the young mans frenzied clutch from
the carriage and, holding his hands in
hers talked to him in such a way that
he gradually relaxed. 1t was she who
helped him out and then supported him
into the house. 1t was she who got
him upstairs and into bed, and it was
she who finally stilled his babble.
"The poor man is burning up with a
fever" she told the others, "and fevers
are my long suit. Get me some towels
and lot of ice"
Blaze who had watched the snake
charmer's deft ministrations with
mingled amazement and suspicion, in
quired: "What are you going to do
with ice? Ice amt medicine"
I'm going to pack his head in It,"
Blaze was Mortified. "Do you want
to freeze his brain"
Mrs. Strange turned on him angrily.
"You get out Of my way and mind your
own business. Freeze his brain +"
With sniff of indignation she pushed
past the interloper.
But Blaze was waiting for her when
she returned a few moments later with
bowls and bottles and various rene
dies which she had Communicated. He
summoned sufficient courage to block
her way and inquire:
"What you got there, now, ma ann"

With an effort at patience she in
quired: "Say! What ais you, any

"Magic?"
"No-cockroaches or snakes tongues,
Or"
Mrs. Strange fingered q heavy china
bowl as If tempted to bounce it from
Blaze's head. Then, not deigning to
argue, she whisked past him and into
the sickroom. 1t was evident from her
expression that she considered the
master of the house a harmless but
offensive old busybody.
For some time longer Blaze hung
about the sickroom; then, his presence
being completely ignored, he risked
further antagonism by telephoning for
Jonesville's leading doctor. Not find
ing the physician at home, he sneaked
out to the barn and, taking Paloma's
car, drove away in search of him. 1t
was fully two hours later when he re-
turned to discover that Dave was Sleep

Dave slept for twenty hours, and
even when he awoke it was not to

AT first he was relieved to find that
the splitting pain in his head was gone,
but imagined himself to be still in the
maddening local train from Browns

ma and Mrs. Strange, and tried to talk
to them, but the connection between
brain and tongue was imperfect, and |

U. SOLDIERS
BETTER Than
ANY He SAYS
French General of Vast Ex-
periience, Says Develop
ment Of Americans is Re-
markable.
(By Associated Press)


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday, Nov. 28.-The
development of the men of the first
American contingent in France In the
science of war was described as truly
femarkable by the general command
ing the division, who has been in the
service for years.
Il nave been in the army since
vas boy" he said. During that time
] have observed many American and
many foreign soldiers, but never In
my life have / seen anything equaling
the Americans. When my division
landed we had shock-headed boys--I
call them shock-headed because they
were Just tEat-by the hundreds. They
were clerks, mechanics, day laborers,
farmer boys, old and young, from
every walk of life Some spoke Eng
lish and some did not There were
Poles, Bohemians, Russians, Jews,
Gentiles. But in this short time they
have all become first class soldiers,
energetic to the extreme and have fal-
len into teh ways Of army life as
never thought possible.
"Game to Core"
1QSy are game 10 the core, anu
their one idea is to beat the Germans,
and give them a good beating. There
isn't streak of yellow in the whole
lot and their morale even in the
trenches is fine.
Here is an example: One night re-
Gently an officer called for volunteers
to go patrolling in No Mans Land. He
asked for twenty men The whole
company volunteered on the spot.
Twenty were picked and lamp black
was provided for them to put on their
hayonets SO that the light could not
shine on them. During the blacken-
ing one private who had been in the
army for four months turned to a
comrade and said: Gee, il can run
this into one of these Boches I'll bet
he'll get blood poisoning and / hope he
does. The boy knew the place he was
to patrol, was extremely dangerous
and that he might be killed within
thirty minutes.
AT another time l had just passed
a line OF soldiers walking along a road
in the rain when l came across one
who was hatless, mud covered and
limping. | stopped my automobile
and asked him what was the matter.
The soldier stood on one foot, the
other being injured. He saluted. His
horse had started to run into a stone
wall, and he threw him down but fell
under him That's the spirit We are
getting. The man was badly hurt
but even then did not forget his train
ing of few weeks.
L was returning at that time from
the hospital where | saw few wound
ed men Some of the mems proudest
and NEST valuable possessions are bull
let and pieces of shrapnel which
thoughtful surgeons saved for them on
extracting. Every man wanted to ex-
hibit the cause of his wound. Their
thoughts we're all about recovering, re,
joining the regiments and getting a
chance to pay back the enemy in his
own coin.
