Walking Stlcks and Cansa,

1t one time the general use Of canes
or walking sticks was forbidden in
Rome by imperial edict, except to per-
sons Of patrician rank, thus making it
a privilege which came to be popular
among the nobility and eventually a
distinction. The women Of thpt time
carried them also, their richly and ar
ttstically decorated canes serving as d
rod for punishment Of their slaves.
The cane appeared in England as
the badge of arlstocracy in about the
fifth century, but after serving this
purpose for some time came into the
hands of the humber classes and was
dropped by those of higher social
standing. It was re-established in it's
true form by the pilgrims and soldiers
returning from the Holy Land during
the Crusades, and soon came into pop
ularity again.

BUDDHIs1-s HOLD SPOT HOLY
Famous Pagoda, Built by Hermit, Has
Long Been Visited by Throngs
of Pious Pilgrims,

Sightseeing In Burma Is apt to be
one pagoda after another, and at that
the tourist misses most Of them. One
that he usually does not see unless he
is especially energetic, or has an in
satiable taste for pagodas, is the
Kyaik-hto-yo pagoda, one Of the most
holy spots in Burma in the eyes Of
the Buddhist Burmese,
The Burmese say that the builder Of
this pagoda was hermit, q theory
which seems probable enough, for 1t
is built on the top Of a steep hill in
a location which could appeal only to
one Of solitary inclination Even the
crest Of the hill must have been too
close to the world for the holy man,
for he located his shrine on q huge
bowlder, which may have been steady
enough in his day, but which now
seems ready at any time to slip Off
into the valley several thousand feet
below.
Assured by the Burmese guide that
the rock has rested at this critical
angle for many centuries, the visitor,
already breathless from the reckless
ascent Of Burmese hill, climbs a
swaying bamboo ladder to view better
the old pagoda. The great rock, with
its shrine forming tiny pointed cap,
seems even more unsteady from here,
but the guide feels no uneaslness. He
Is confident that somewhere below
the pagoda is a lock Of BuGdha's hair,
and this alone stays the bowlder from
It's fall.
In the early spring pilgrims from all
over Burma journey to this forsaken
spot to place flowers on the rock and
offer their prayers and gifts. Jewels
and other offerings are tossed with an
invocation to Buddha into the chasm
below the rock. As they leave, they
place lighted candles outside the
shrine and, as they cross the plain IN
the evening they can still see tiny
points of fame marking the sacred
spot for sother pilgrims who may fol-
low them.-Chicago News.

Letters fromour Soldier Boys

france
Sept. .16,1918.
Dear Mother,
1t has been about two weeks
since I've written home but all the
while I'VE been making it fine. Have
been going from place to place for
the past week and am now in a
special training camp and where
and when I'll go from here do not
know, tho in time to come | guess
I'll go back to my own outfit. Am
sure Of getting back to the ambu-
lance service providing my knee
comes ali right and I'm fit for duty
1t the front tho according to the
present classification I will not go
back to the front for sometime;
several months perhaps. Ny knee
has, all along, been doing fine tho it
IS yet little stiff and | cannot use
t so long at a time. Before 50
many months have passed I think it
will come around all right and be Is
good as new.
A few days I became separated
from the boys I told you Of in one OF
my letters. BY now guess they are
back with the Sec. or on their way
at least. Here in this camp so far
as I know I'm the only S. S. U. man.
Because of the recent success OF
The Allies and especially those Of the
u. S. boys imagine there is right
much comment around home as well
as everywhere. To us here the news
is very good. For, the Hun the
worst is to come if he wishes to pro-
long the war and this he can do.
The lighting of the paststwo months
las been a hard blow to Fritz, per-
.,aps the hardest since the war be-
gan,
,lere today it is very warm tho OF
nl..ilts it is COO enough. Am gl&d
:, SIC II this way once more for ne
Amy Weather of the past week hal
nadelots of mud at some Of the
III: Is.
Since l got hurt, which was two
months ago to-day haven't received
my mail. Would like to hear from
,ome again. Just now haven't
,.uch news so will close. Hope all
arc enjoying the best of health.
Your loving Son,

they are met with also in paper col

posure to light. In wood-free papers
the fading is found to be due to for
