Some Excnss for Extraordinarily
Story When He First Saw the
Steamboat Armenia.


Competition for passenger trade
among steamboat companies on the
Hudson river in the early days Of
steam navigation went so far some
times that it defeated its own ends
and was somewhat amusing in the
retrospect. Such was the case with
the Armenia, one of the first boats
built which was fast enough to make
most Of the trip from New York TO
Albany by daylight This was for the
purpose of attracting passengers who
wished to view the beautiful river
scenery, but for fear that scenery alone
would pail on the passengers, tire own
ers also installed steam caIliope. The
calliOpe was simply series of steam
whistles pitched in various keys Of
sufficient number to play simple tunes
The Armenia was considered some
thing remarkable when she first ap-
peared, as indeed she was. The de-
mand on her boilers for steam to blow
the calliope whistles was so great,
however, that the expense Of furnish
ing the passengers with steam tunes
as well as speedy transportation was
more than the owners could afford.
The story is told of Catskill back
woodsman, who, while visiting a river
town for the first time, saw the Ar
menia plying along before dawn,
spouting sparks and smoke and with
all her discordant whistles blowing.
On his return home he told a wonder
full tale of seeing the devil going up
the river in sawmill with all the
denizens of hell on board shrieking in
awful torment.

MADE FAMOUS BY RESULTS
Events of History Remembered by
What They Meant to Their Own
and Succeeding Ages.

There are enterprises, military as
well as civil, that sometimes check the
current of events; give a new turn to
human affairs, and transmit their con-
sequences through ages. We see their
importance In their results, and call
them great, because great things fol-
low. There have been battles which
have fixed the fate of nations. These
come down to us in history with a
solid and permanent influence, not
created by display of glittering
armor, the rush OF adverse battalions,
the sinking and rising Of pennons, the
flight, the pursuit, and the victory but
by their effect in advancing or retard-
ing human knowledge, in overthrow
ing or establishing despotism, in
extending or destroying human happi-
ness. When the traveller pauses on
the plains of Marathon, what are the
emotions which strongly agitate his
breast? Not l imagine, that
Grecian skill and Grecian valor were
here most signally displayed; but that
Greece herself was saved. 1t is be-
cause to this spot and to the event
which has rendered 1t immortal, he
refers all the succeeding glories of
the republic.-Daniel Webster.

Friendship.

We remember how Doctor GLADDEN.
used to preach upon friendship, which
he regarded as the practical form of
religion. When a mans heart is right
he is quite sure to be friendly. There
Is no hate, no envy, no suspicion, no
discourtesy, no i'll temper. To be with
out these is the fulfilling of the law
which is love, and that is religion.
Much more of it is needed than APP
pears In business, in society, in poll
tics. In fact, there is room for a good
deal more. The test of mans re-
ligion is found in the extent and quail
ity of his friendship. 1t must not be
the friendship of etiquette simply, nor
even of good fellowship. 1t is the
habit or condition of person, that
grows out of his spirituality. There is
not much use in mans participating
in all the means of grace If he hates
his neighbOr. And yet how many there
are Of that kind There is nothing
that the coming reconstruction of So
ciety needs so much as friendship. 1t
is a sort of treason to neglect it,

peparted Marine Glorlea

In 1861, fully half of the worlds ton.

Makers of Heroes.

Emerson says, "Times of heroism are
generally times of terror" They show
true character. 1t seems that human
nature needs test to show the stuff
It's made of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by a
mighty challenge. 1t seems as though
there is some militarism of the soul
that waits the fife call and the meas
ure of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack of occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rOuses Snd
strides frayward to the dismay Of petty
puppets of annoyance.

ouaInt Old Eastpors.

The quaint old town of Eastport,
Me-, which is but little way from
the easternmost point In the United
States, Is of interest because during
the War of 1912 a British feet sailed
into the harbor and took possession
Of the town and fort without firing a
shot. Here British troops remained
until the exact boundary between the
United States and Canada had been
determined. With the exception Of
the interval indicated above, Ameri-
can troops occupied the fort from
1908 until 1876. In the latter year IT
was abandoned and later the property
was sold to private individuals, who
tarned the buildings into dwellings.

GIRL ROBBED OF HER
LIBERTY BOND BY 4
COMMON SW|NDLER
Gives Up Her Securities and Gets $40
and Worthless Stock in
Exchange.

The government has determined or
ganized or selfish propaganda that
tends to spread doubt as to value Of
Liberty Bonds or results in getting
the bonds out Of the possession Of the
people must stop, or the Offenders will
feel the heavy hand of justice.
1t is time such action was taken. The
''pirates Of promotion" have even
stopped to preying upon girls who
work in offices.
A banker tells of q case in his Office
where girl employee was about to buy
stock in copper mining company
which copper men say they never
heard about.
Another girl, friend of the bank
officials clerk, had been induced by
a broker to part with her $50 Liberty
Bond in exchange for stock in the min
ing company. A few days later the
broker informed her she was entitled
to dividend, and thereupon the brok-
er paid $40 to her.
This influenced her imagination so
much that she went about telling the
remarkable story to her girl friends
and advising them to sell their Liberty
Bonds and buy the wonderful stock
that paid $40 in dividends three days
after she bought 1t, and which, the
man said, was going to pay SO much
more.
What are you going to do?" the
bank official asked of his girl clerk.
Give my Liberty Bond to the broker
for the mining stock" was the answer.
you will do no such thing if /
can prevent you," said the official. 1T
is bold-faced robbery"
Then he went on to explain that COP
per mines are making little or no
money now, and not one in all the
world is earning enough to pay such
dividends to stockholders. He told
her the broker who sold that stock
to the girl swindled her out of her
Liberty Bond, less the $50, and that he
paid the $40 to her so she would
spread the story far and wide and In
fuence other girls to buy stock.
It was an old trick of the swindlers,
he told her, but he had not known
they had stopped SO low as to rob
working girls.

This Bird Can Sew.

The "railOr bird" Of India is an ex-
eellent seamstress. When this bird de-
cides to build nest it chooses leaf
that suits its purpose and perforates
the edges with it's beak. Then it takes
long piece of grass fiber and sews
the edges together, making a pocket.
II the leaf is not large enough, it is
pleced out with another leaf. At the
end OF the seam the bird makes knot

however, but only the beginning Of It.
The nest is made within the pocket.
The end Of slender branch is always
selected, and as the leaf retains its
natural color the home Of the bird is
concealed very effectively from ami

noYed by noises in my head, my
eyes watered badly at times and my
nose was usually stopped up, didn't

with me.
"Trutona is the first medicine that
ever really reached my trouble.
Why, Pm actually gaining weight
now. My appetite is 100 per cent
improved and everything / eat agrees
with me. The ringing in my head
is better, my eyes don't water any
more and my nose isn't stopped up.

THRIFT MOVEMENT
MAKING Roadway
Savings Societies Now Being Formed
In Middle Tennessee Cities to
Push Sale Of Stampa

The thrift movement in Tennesses
has taken on now life as the result Of
the two weeks intes4siye work In Mem
phis through which thousands of wage
earners have started saving system
atically and are investing their sur
plus in thrift and savings stamps. The
thirty field men who conducted tho
organization of the savings clubs
there are now in the territory between
Memphis and Nashville, and expect 70
be In the capital city next week.
i Reports from Silas w. Davis, Direo-
tor of Savings, under whose super
vision the work is being done, show
that 527 thrift clubs were formed in
Memphis, 106 new members OF the
Thousand Dollar Limit Club enrolled
and $50 agencies established. He Il
xratified over the results accomplished
in Memphis and Is looking for a repe-
tition of the good work in the other
cities.
The sale Of thrift and savings
stamps In the state has shown .
marked improvement since the entry
Of the agents In the field. The plan
undcr which the work Is being done. II
Is expected, will keep the sales figures
up to q high standard. Every person
who will undertake to save something
out Of their earnings every month and
every week is eligible for membership
In one of these clubs.

Notes from GravcIhiIl.

A good rain fell here last Friday
night; not enough, but sufficient to
make moisture meet.
Mrs, L. II. Prince is improving af-
ter severe attack of.stomsch troub-
le.
Miss Rena Darby is on the sick list
this week.
Mrs. ]. W. Springer is up after
weeks illness.
N. B. Carney has sold his farm to
j +. North, and will move to Benton
county this fall.
Land in this neighborhood is stead
lily advancing on account of the pros
poets of a hard-surfaced road through
this territory. Here is the argument
of some Of the fellows who try to
criticise the good road movement:
He says these road meetings are ruin
ing the country; they are going to
cause land to get SO high us poor fel-
lows can never buy it; and if so and
so could make a speech at all, the
results would be different. This fell
low was trying to slur the fellows who
were trying to create an interest, and
he paid a high compliment to them
and didn't know ii. We are sorry for
this kind Of man, because if he is GO
ing to wait for land TO get cheap be-
fore he buys, he will have just as
much land fifty years from now as be
has at present. Cheap land is a thing
Of the past. So my advice is for him
to buy land now. All you can get
behind the good road move msnt, build
gravel road through your communi-
ty, and double your investm snt in the
land in less than five years. Our hats
are off to the leaders of our road So
ciety; they have done cook work, as
was evidenced on the general road
working day. when we had 100 hands
at work south of Gravelhill. Work
will be continued as soon as there is
enough moisture in the ground for
the road to be plowed.
