Free and EquaI.r

The author of the phrase "All men
are born free and equal" was John
Lowell, Massachusetts jurist and
statesman, who, was born In Newbury-
port, Mass, in 1743.
John Lowell was the first descendant
of Percival Lowell, the English found
er of the famous New England family,
to gain wide fame. He was the son of
the first minister of Newburyport and
after studying law settled In Boston.
He was elected to the convention
which framed the constitution of Mas
sachuSetts in 1880 and was a member
of the committee which formulated
that document. He insisted upon the
insertion in the bill of rights of the
phrase 'All men are born free and
equal for the purpose as he avowed
at the time, of abolishing slavery in
Massachusetts. 1t was largely through
his efforts that Massachusetts put an
end to negro slavery in 17S3.-St. Louis

The Roll Call of Friends.

Have you ever sat alone In the even
ing looking over the pictures and the
books associated with the friends Of
yOre? In the busy whirl Of life is there
not JOY in calling the roll Of old
friends and wondering where this one
and that one may be? Then comes that
moment of retrospective and intro
spective eulogy to absent friends, and
wells of gratitude are opened as we
think how greatly various friends
have influenced our pathway on life's
journey; how this one or that one may
have unconsciously determined the
crisis of a career.
We become mellowed when we think
of those passed beyond. The memory
of them comes to us gently and softly
as the sparkle Of the eye and the out
lines Of the individuality are recalled
from the haze of past years.-National
Magazine.

GA tain Of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calend0r Of tAslt IN.
ceeters. The INDIAN method was t.
compate dine By sleeps and moons.
A sleep Is twenty-four hours, and a
moon Is q month. There Ia also a
midmoon, where the sun is at Ia
O'clock meridian. This hour Is indi-
Gated by pointing overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant 9 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
3 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to certain place or how far
he had come he would say so many
sleeps, or days travel A sleep, as
describing distance, was about thirty
five miles when walking deliberately
or from fifty to seventy-five miles IL
going in haste with message.-Phil-

with ''u' (when pronounced ''yu'D does
not appear to be an adamantine one.
Like Macaulay, with his fondness for
AN university, many of our best
writer's and speakers prefer to ignore
the rule and back their fancy in this
little question of euphony. AS for the
man in the street, the matter has long
ago been settled in favor of "a" in oil
cases where the initial u has the
''yu' sound, partly no doubt because
such phrases as IAN united people" do
not come trippingly off the tongue and
have an old fashioned, pedantic flavor
And there are sensitive ears that will
prefer "a unique" to the more studied
IAN unique. London Chronicle
