A RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION;
SHELL DUG UP AT WALTHAM
(From the Boston PosD


An old iron rusty shell weighing 200
pounds has been uncovered on Cres-
cent street, Waltham, Mass, during ex-
cavation work on the estate of Levi
J. Kendall, one of Waltham's oldest
residents. The shell is believed to be
a relic of Revolutionary days.
According to Frank Gallagher, in
charge of the work on the Kendall
property, the shell is the first one to
have been found in Waltham since
1910.
Mr.. Gallagher said that in that year
a shell which had been dug up on the
Weston road in Waltham exploded,
killing two people. 1t Is known as a
matter of local history in Waltham,
that in Revolutionary days large mu-
nitions dump was located close 10 the
place where the shell has just been
found.
Old-time residents of Waltham say
stories were told them of how the Brit
ish learned that a large quantity of
ammunition was stored in Waltham,
and made a concentrated attack on the
place, but were foiled by the quick
wit of the Americans. who, realizing
the objective of the enemy, dumped
hundreds of the large shells into the
Charles River.

A0UITAN|A MAKES
FAST ATLANTIC TRIP

CHERBOURG, France, Sept 3.-The
Cunard liner Aquitania, which left
New York on Aug. %, arrived here at
three o'clock this afternoon, making
the voyage in five days, II hours and
q minutes. This is one hour and 27
minutes short of the record for the
eastern trip from New York to this
port. which is five days and 16 hours,
made by the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, in January. 1900.
The White Star liner Olympic which
left New York at the same time that
the Aquitania sailed for Europe, is
not expected to arrive before tomor-
row forenoon. Despite official denials
from the Cunard and White Star com
panies, passengers on the two ships
considered the voyage of the two
vessels a race and it is said, heavy
wagers were laid. Prince Carol OF
Rumania, was one of those who
backed the Aquitania.

Fable
BY LOUIS G. REYNOLDS,

BY LOUIS G. REYNOLDS.
Once upon time great number Of
people received invitations to a very
important function, which was to oc-
cur on a stated date several months
in the future.
1t was expressly stated in the in
vitation that in order to be eligible to
attend the function it would be abso-
lutely necessary for each invited
guest to register his or her name in
book at the drug store or corner
grocery near by.
To do this would not cost a penny
and would require but few moments
Of their time.
Many Of the invited guests were not
sure that they wished to attend the
function, and made many excuses to
themselves for not signing in the
books
This was especially true Of the
women-folk, who had never been in
vited to attend such an affair before.
and hesitated to commit themselves;
although it was also clearly stated in
the invitation that signing the book
did not compel them to attend the
function If, at the last moment, they
found it impossible to be present, or
were disinclined to go.
Inc last Qay upon Wn1cn tney cOulo
sign the book was about four weeks
before the affair was to come of.
Thousands of people failed to sign
up as stipulated in the invitation.
AS the time approached for the big
function. great interest and enthus-
icsm was displayed by the entire
community, and it began to look as
though everybody who was anybody
would be there.
Many Of those who had failed to
sign the book regretted very much
that they had not done so, as every
| thing indicated that 1t was to be a
grand affair, and they wanted to go.
But those who were in charge of
the function, and had issued the invita-
| tions, were powerless to permit them
to enter the booths and enjoy the
wonderful affair-because the names
'. of the dilatory ones were not "in the
book" as stipulated in the invita-
tions.
These careless ones hated them.
selves intensely, and shed many tears
Of regret-but to no avail. They were
as completely barred from the party
as they would have been If they had
not been invited at all.
MORAL:
Register on Saturday, Sept. 4, or
| Monday, Oct. If you think there is
even a possibility Of your wanting to
vote on Nov. 2.

COX CONTINUES TO
ATTACK G. O.P. FUND

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 4.-Governcr
Cox made bis first speech at Kenosha,
following that with a rear platform
address at Racine. In this city five

prior to his return to Chicago.
1t was the first day of the Elks' an

and Plankngton hal Tonight. In his
address here Governor Cox asked
Republican Chairman Will Hays coz
corning alleged quotas in the initial
bulletins of the Republican treasurer,
and concluded with this observation
IF you told the truth on the stand
under oath, then Mr.. Upham, (Repub-
ltcan national treasurer) in his offic-
ial capacity, misrepresents you. This
contradictory circumstances shows
that you are either a perjurer or Mr..
Upahm a falsifier.
If the latter be true, then it is your
duty to discharge him as treasurer:
If you do not do so, then the American
people can draw their own conclu.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-If any of
10000 men who have had prison rec
ords at Sing Sing within the past %
years appear in New York financial

go by. He saw rabbit coming along
and reached out, expecting to catch
him. The mans arm was broken In
seven or II places by the impact and
he was knocked 80 feet out into the
right of way. The engineer stopped
and the train crew picked him up
and took him to q hospital. The en-.
gineer cussed the poor harvest hand
all the way in for interfering with his
regular morning race.
"Jackrabbits may be plumb crazy but
they are pretty blamed smart, too.
They can be killed by shots from a
high-powered rifle-that is, II the rab-
bit is sitting still. One Of the favor
tie amusements Of jackrabbits is to
hike of ahead Of the hunter and when
he shoots the rabbit puts on little
more speed, SO that when the bullet
catches up with him the rabbit and
bullet are going at about the same
speed. Then the rabbit jumps into
the air, catches the bullet in his teeth,
turns q somersault or two and comes
up smiling, just like ballplayer who
makes one Of those shoetop catches.
shoot at a jackrabbit with shot
gun loaded with buckshot, and II the
hunter appears at least friendly the
rabbit will catch eight or 10 Of the
bullets and bring them back to him,
dropping them all in little pile at
the hunters feet, and then hop off
few PAGES and wait for the hunter to
load up again. ! Rabbits have been
known to retrieve bullets Is or 20
times and then go of to chase a rail-
road train or pop-pop or a motor car.
There are good many airplane
men around Kansas just now and they
are thinking OF doing some rabbit
chasing wit their machines. The air
plane is about the only machine that
could catch rabbit, and If there was
real acrobat on the board the ma
chine might swoop down and this man
lean over the wings and pick up the
rabbit. OF course he would have to be
mighty quick with his hands, because
the rabbit might skid his wheels a bit
and dodge back under the machine and
get away"
On receiving this letter the Tribune
published the following acknowledge
ment:
"The Tribune is. glad to make this
correction in the interest of accuracy
in vindication of the speed records OF
the Kansas jackrabbit. 1t admits that
the writer of the item, it's Kansas read
er complains of was a New Yorker,
whose knowledge Of rabbit has been
cleaned entirely from Mr Burgess's

him the rabbit story really said the
train was going 60 miles an hour, but
our writer fearful of exaggeration,
clipped of 20 miles. He erred, of
course, but his intentions were good"
