THE CAL on THE WILD

THE CALL OF THE WILD
The campers-out are flocking
To the overcrowded hills
And frightening moonshiners
Who are operating STILLS"
BY every stream and lake side
Their tents they're putting up.
With friend wife and the children
And a photograph and pup.
A wagonload Of canned goods
Will provide for every wish
And still the pangs VI hunger,
Though they never catch fish.
They thing It's inexpensive,
But their little trips a sell,
For they spend enough to keep them
At an up-to-date hotel.

EVIDENCE OF INSANITY

A north countryman, charged with
having set fire to a large hayrick, was
defended on the ground that he was
not altogether responsible for his ac-
ti6ns. One of the witnesses testi-
fed to the belief that the prisoner
was "wrang in his held"
"Can you mention any occasion on
which the prisoner behaved in man.

was asked by the learned counsel.

THE PARK-CENTRAL PARK

Editor of the Sum-
Are the people. of Greeneville in
the mood to purchase the land and
give it to Greeneville, and have ii
dedicated as public park? believe
they are. The spirit of progress now
moves the thoughts and elevates the
aspirations Of every good citizen of
Greeneville. The site of this park is
worthy of consideration. The cost
Of the site appeals to the fnancier.
The accommodation obtained by the
site. Many sites are and will be Of
fered the city.
What should be considered?
First, what does Greeneville, or the
population of Greeneville want with
a park at all? Is it of any especial
use. It's use will in degree deter
mine its location. Originally, back
in the early days of civilization in
England, large piece of ground was
enclosed for hunting or other pur-
poses of pleasure. In general, tract
of land in the olden times was set
aside to be preserved as near its ma
tural state as possible, or beautified
by landscape gardening, to which the
public have access for recreation or
enjoyment; as Central Park, in New
York, Lincoln Park in Chicago, or
Paramount Park in Philadelphia. But
Greeneville can not hope to scarcely
initiate these vast and costly parks
of the greatest cities of the world.
Greeneville does not need such parks.
But Greeneville needs a park, and
later parks. Greeneville is town
beautiful for location. The land
scape views from some of Greene
ville's lofty elevations, surpasses any
thing Chicago, New York or Philadel-
phia has either in their parks or from
any pleasure ground they could pos
sibly present.
What Greeneville wants is park
of easy access, centrally located.
Why? To accommodate that large
and worthy part of her population, to
a place for an outing for day; a
place so near and easy of access that
does not cost so much to enjoy it as
to debar all of this large population,
that have not the means to go to the
celebrated springs, or to the seashore,
but who can join their friends near
home in a pleasant outing for few
hours. Where this deserving and
honored class can feel at home under
the beautiful shade trees, along the
walks and amidst the flowers and
works of art, the product of their
own handiwork and skilled genius,
surrounded by their friends.
In its center lot, a soldiers monu-
ment be erected over whose summit
."Old Glory" would wave forever in
the sunlight of American liberty,
Let it be monument to the soldiers
from Greene county, whose valor
helped to found this worlds greatest
Republic; that helped to defend
against all oppression this the Flag
of liberty.
This would be park worthy of the
noble manhood of Greeneville.
Let it be notice to the world that
Greeneville has no streets to be filled
with filth; no houses or citizens who
will tolerate dens of vice or nursery
of crime and debauchery. Let it be
known that Greeneville's noble wo-
manhood, her courageous manhood,
opens wide her doors to virtue, labor,
to schools. Greeneville must keep to
the front. Defame not her good
name. Never let her flag of honor
trail in the dust. Let US have a
park!

Summer COMPLAINT of Children

There is not anything like so many
deaths from this disease now as be-
fore Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy came into such gener-
al use. When this remedy is given
with castor oil as directed and prop
er care is taken as TO diet, it is safe
to say that fully ninety-nine out of
every hundred cases recover. Mr. W.
G. Campbell, of Butler, Tenn, says.

Diarrhoea Remedy for summer com.
plant in children. 1t is far ahead

Predictions Near FuIfiIlment.

Napoleon prophesised at st. Helena
that there would be no kings in Ger
many century after his death. Ten
years before The Huns broke loose,
Lord Roberts predicted that if great
European war came in our days. Fer
dinand Foch. who was then an un-
known officer, would be one of the
most famous actors in it.
A rather neat prediction was made
as far back as 1896 by the redoubtable
Frenchman, Henri Rochfort, marques
and anarchist.
1--WE cannot get Alsace-Lorraine
back by ourselves" he told an inter-
viewer. But one day the German
eagle will get drunk with pride and
will annoy the British bulldog. Then
the bulldog will form an alliance with
us to kill the eagle, and we shall re-
cover the lost provinces" London

CLIPPER SHIPS IN LONG RACE
Contest Between Vessels Carrying Tes
From China to England One of
the Best on Record.

The China clipper races, contested
by vessels carrying tea to England
covered the longest course of an!
race in history. One of the most IA
nous was that of 1866. 1t was ar
ranged that nine of these ships should
sail from Foochow with the new sea
sons teas as nearly as possible on the
same day, but only five finished load
ing in time. z- : ,
The Fiery Cross was the first tc
start, being towed out to sea early or
May %. The Ariel followed next
morning at $50, the Serica and the
Tapping sailing 20 minutes later, while
the Taitsing did not put to sea until
midnight on the 31st. They were, of
course, all chosen ships with a repu.
tatfon for speed. ~
The Fiery Cross was the first to
round the Cape of Good Hope, 46 days
out, with the Ariel on her heels, while
the Tapping, Serica and Taitsing
were respectively one, four and eight
days behind. The Ariel led from the
Azores to the entrance to the English
channel, where the Serica and Tae.
ping pulled up ahead of the others,
and there followed a ding-dong race,
up the channel, with fine spread Of
canvas and a strong southerly wind.
The Ariel and the Tapping were
the leaders, first one and then the
other drawing ahead, the others sweep
ing along not far behind. 1t was a
worthy finish for such crack ships.
The Tapping arrived in the London
docks at 9:45 p. m. on September 6,
the Ariel in East India docks at 10:15
p. M, and the Serica in the West In
dia docks at IL 80 p. m.

OLD LONDON BELL FoUNDRIEs
Relics of Many Of Them Are Still to
Be Found Scattered Through
the British Capital.

In the days before clocks, to say
nothing of watches, were common the
bells of London occupied much more
important position than they do to-
day. 'Prentices depended on this bell
and that to call them very unwillingly
to work of morning and release them
very willingly from work of an eve
ming, whilst bells were requisitioned
for all manner Of special purposes.
And so there were many bell foundries
In the city. Relics of them are found
In many places, even If it is only a
street name. such as Bitter street,
which, as Mr.. Landfear Lucas points
out, was undoubtedly Bell-sitzers or
Founders lane. Then Belsize probably
owes its name, he declares, to bell
foundry on the lower part Of Hamp-
stead hill. Something of this sort is
all that remains of many of them, but
others, like the Whitechapel Bell
foundry, which has been charged with
returning and rehanging the bells Of
Westminster abbey for the peace re-
joicings, have continued to do business
through the centuries. The foundry
commenced business in 1870.

RABBIT BY NO MEANS TIMID
Correspondent Writes of Happening
Which Would Seem to Make Old
Saying a Foolish Thing.

A story of the fearlessness of the
rabbit when still a baby is sent by a
correspondent. Remarking on the
baselessness Of the popular saying
"As scared as rabbit" when Bunny
is unspoilt by the world, 'B" says :
"Some days ago was passing with
a friend through a woodland glade,
and suddenly there appeared on the
path before us, say 80 yards away,
a young wild rabbit, evidently just
escaped from the nursery. 1t was al
most too young to run, and tripped
over its feet in the most comic man.
ner-for all the world like a baby
tumbling over its pinafore. 1t came
slowly lolloping, lolloping toward us,
and we held our breath for fear Of
soaring it away; for it was a most
fascinating little creature, just a
bundle of fluff and comedy. Then
while we watched, tragedy sprang up
full armed. A weasel, moving swift
~, silently through the trees, made
a sudden dart. In one second all
would have been over with bunny.
but my companion clapped her hands
and gave wild cry of anger, dane
ing about in wrath. The weasel fled
for it's life. But the baby rabbit
stopped to laugh moment, and then
came lolloping little faster toward

actually to drive the little creature
back to where we guessed it's home
might be before we could go on our
way with quiet minds. Scared as p

PRETTY TRIBUTE TO YANKs
Welsh Girl Enthusiastic Over the
Good Qualities Of the Boys
Fighting in France.

Testimony to the qualities of some
Of the American troops in France is
given by a girl member of the wom-
ans auxiliary army corps in a letter
to her home folk at Cardiff. Wales.
She says:
1--WE are stationed inside an Ameri-
can camp i'm huge old French cav
airy barracks. We are doing clerical
work with hundreds and hundreds of
Americans in the Central Records Of
flee. We deal with the whole Ameri-
can army records and, excepting the
cooks, mattresses, etc., all we odd 400
girls are really the sWaacs' of the
American expeditionary force.
1--WE love the work, we love the
camp and the boys look after us well.
They are splendid fellows. We have
comfortable rooms, recreation room
and hockey and are as happy as pos
sible. And now we are getting up a
grand revue called The Battle of
Bourgas.' I am to be French girl.
The chorus is one of the best and the
music truly American. I'm afraid
your music over there when we come
back won't have enough pep in it.
Honestly, the boys cam play. Even
those who are doing scavenger work
in the camp can play the violin and
piano."

: Mems Full Dress.

Will the returned soldiers who are
said to be ordering colored evening
suits be strong enough to overthrow
the black tradition established by Lord
Lytton?
Very few perhaps, of those who
for 80 years have meekly bowed to
that tradition, have known its origin,
says the London Chronicle. Until the
publication of pelham" coats worn
for evening dress were of different
colors, chiefly brown, green or blue.
but the novelist makes one of his fe-
male characters tell the hero blue
coat does not suit his complexion.
"You look best in black" she says,
(which is great compliment, for
people must be very distinguished in
appearance to do So" And forthwith
all men chose to take the compliment
to themselves.

PLAYED JOKE ON THE HUNS
Talking Over a Tapped
Telephone Wire.

Because of the nature of the coun-
try over which American troops fought
In the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the
Germans found it easy at times to cut
In on our field telephone wires.
The commander of one brigade Of
artillery attached to an American di-
vision was particularly annoyed by
enemy wire tappers in a heavily wood
ed section of the Argonne. Code mes
sages from artillery observers were
being intercepted by Boche listeners
in. and the commander knew. as all
armies know, that no code is impreg-
nable when experts get working on it.
The artillery commander took up
with the colonel of one of the line reg.
iments the question of the Huns wire
tapping activities. And the colonel
hit upon an idea.
Two Indians, both Of proud Sioux
lineage, members of one of his COM
panies, were assigned as telephone
operators. One was to go forward
with the artillery observer. the other
to remain at the brigade receiving end
of the wire which the artillery COM
mander was certain the Germans had
that day tapped somewhere along the
line.
Now, when two Sioux Indians get
talking together in their own tongue,
what they say sounds very much like
code. bur isn't. Anyway, it raised hob
with the code experts of certain Prus-
sian guard units.
The Sioux stuck on their jobs for
three days and nights. They and the
artillery commander and their own
colonel enjoyed the situation immense

1t they kept it to themselves-Stars
