Everybody expects kentuckian to

Morrow of Kentucky recently. 1.-The

but the story of Lige Parsons may be
worth telling. Lige dropped into the

'Howdy, Ligen greeted the judge.

ceased, and the butt of the great log
crashed against something with the

At last Moore stopped, and waited

Westcott passed the word back
across his shoulder to Brennan, who
was painting heavily, and watched, as
best he could on hands and knees.
while Moore lowered himself at arms
length over the narrow rock ledge. The
boy loosened his grip, but landed al

clan, The Foundation of the
Scisnce of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan, who is said by some to have
fiourished in the third century before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was a 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 a
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 10 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.

HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRONG
Documentary Evidence Concerning
Declaration of independence and
LincoIn's Gettysburg Speech.

The Declaration of Independence
wasn't signed on July 4, 1776. Abra-
ham Lincoln didn't dash off his famous
Gettysburg address on an old envel-
ope as he rode on the train to Gettys-
burg. Most likely, George Washing
ton never chopped down the cherry
tree. The manuscript division of the
library Of congress isn't sure about
the cherry tree episode, because
George didn't write letter about It,
but it holds documentary evidence re-
garding the other two illusions Of our
school days, so the history books that
we studied SO trustfully were wrong.
The manuscript division has the two
original drafts Of the Gettysburg
speech, one carefully written on off,
cial White house stationery, partly In
pencil, and the other In ink, both dis
playing Lincoln's well-known hand
writing. The first draft and the re-
vised copy differ slightly from the ad-
dress as it was finally delivered.
AS for the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence. the official journal Of the Con-
tinental congress for July 4. 1778,
shows that on that day congress adopt
ed the declaration by vote, but the
signing. which we make so much of,
was deferred as unimportant. Most
of the members signed the document
a month later, while in 1871, five years
later, some other congressman who
were not in Office in 1776 also added
their signatures, thereby gaining i'm
mortality.

Appreciation Of the Potato.

In this country the chief and practi-
cally only interest in the potato today
Is as vegetable for the table We
are greatly surpassed in this use by
Europe, and Germany in particular.
In that land the average annual per
capita consumption was seven bushels
in normal times, while our own was
two and a half. The labOrers of east
ern Germany ate II bushels per an
mum. The other European countries
are, as a rule, far above us and the
diet of many an Irishman is said to
be potatoes and spring water-for
breakfast, dinner and supper. In adj
dition to this direct consumption uses
of the potato largely unknown to
Uncle Sam are for -four starch, dex-
trine, glucose and alcohol.
