lighter and finer OF feature, and his
white teeth cleaned against the nut

that refused to be displaced In any
emergency, and at times left the be-
holder in considerable doubt as TO the
real emotions working behind.
The men all wore blue overalls. dark
blue or gray shirts, and heavy boots.
They were guiltless of coat or vest,
and tossed their light straw hats on
the water bench as they passed. There
was a quick splashing of greasy hands
at the wash basin, followed by more
efrectual rubbing on a towel made
from a WORKOUT grain sack. The
hired man paused to change the water
and wash his face, but the others pro-
ceeded AT once TO the table, where no
time was lost in ceremony. Harris
helped himself generously to meat
and vegetables and having done so,
passed the platters to his son, and in
this way they were circulated about
the table. There was no talk for the
first few minutes, only the sound OF
knife and fork piled vigorously and
Interchangeable by father and son, and

HONORED AS GREAT TEACHER
Works of Euclid, Ancient Mathemati-
clan, the Foundation of the
Science of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan, who is said by some to have
flourished i'm the third century before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was Greek, but the date
and place of his birth are unknown.
1t is generally held that much of his
work was done at Alexandria, Egypt,
which in those ancient times was
famous seat of learning and the CEN
ter of extensive commerce. The most
famous work of Euclid that has come
down to us is the Elements of Geom-
etry in IL books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation Of geometry, on which is
based several branches Of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used in schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics of numbers but they are super
seeded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other works, such as treatises
on harmony and optics.
