TALES OF LONG
AGO
Well. Well, Mr.. Editor:

I will write you little OF my LIE.
l am eighty years old and was born
at the lower end of Lake Ontario,
N. Y. Some of your readers may be
acquainted there. When was four
or five years old what was called the
Patriot war was on. Some men
talked that the Canadians were mis-
used by that government and If the
Americans would go over and make
a stand the Canadians would rebel.
So 900 Of our men went across the
st. Lawrence river and the British
got after them and freed them in
wind mill and starved them out. The
British soldiers or government tried
them. My father said some said
they hung the smart ones and the
next lot they sent to Vandemans
land, where they were worked on
carts like oxen and locked down in
stone places in the ground at night
for ten years. The next lot or fool
ish, they sent home. My father said
they took cannons past his place that
broke rocks in the road and had
them muffed with rags, Well this
much l was told. Why am telling
this is there is SO many young fell
lows seem to think war is fine job
When l was eight years old my
father brought me to Illinois. Came
UP as far as Buffalo and there ship
ped for Chicago on steamer. I
must tell you some little jokes when
we stopped at Detroit. Our captains
name was Blake. He was on the
street and met General Scott. Some
one sad to him, take off your hat,
that is General Scott" Blake said,
"Sirs, am Captain Blake" was
small but saw it. When we got in
Lake Michigan a storm came up and
it was pretty bad. Say, ! am little
hard on some preachers. In the
night the captain was looking around
and went or came down in the cabin
and there he found an old preacher
talking to the women and everytime
a big wave would come over he
would tell them to make their peace
with their God. He took him by the
nap Of the neck and his boot from
behind and sent him out Of the cabin
and told the women there was nc
danger and they all got quiet. I saw
this. When we got to Milwaukee
heard the captain talk about it.
Well, we came on to Illinoy. II
was wild prairie country. grew
up to manhood and have lived in
several different states and have seer
a lot of the early settlements. When
l. go to be about twenty years old
got hold of a small farm and the
Civil war was called, but 1t did not
seem to be very civil, but before this
the Kansas was was on. I presume
there is lots of young men who d.

HELLO EUROPE"

Possibility
(By International News Service,

(By International news oerVlce)
NEW YORK.-Telephonic COM
munication between America and
Europe is one Of the amazing posi-
bilities of the near future and Ameri-
can initiative, eliminating in the
signing of a contract by the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co. and
the General Electric company, bids
fair to accomplish this new miracle
of the century.
If it comes to pass, communication
may be had with ships at sea by
means of the ordinary desk tele-
phone, radio experts say. CONVEX
sations by different parties also may
be carried on over single telephone
wire, without any interference one
with the other. The two companies
to the agreement, which just has
been announced, have experimental
along this line with surprisingly sue
cessful results.
It has been demonstrated that the
human voice can be transferred auto
matically from land line telephone
to a wireless telephone service at a
radio exchange. This is done thru
development Of the simplifying valves
that increase thousands Of times the
volume of sound from the original
voice.
Patents held by both companies
will now be merged for the fulfill
ment of this ambitious scheme to
eliminate distance as an obstacle to
the transmission of the voice.
In response to the request the fol,
lowing statement was made by H. B
Thayer, president of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.
"It is believed that the art Of cleo
trical communication by wire and
i radio transmission will be advanced
| practically and beneficiently, by
contract just entered into by thu
American Telephone & Telegraph Co
and the General Electric company
| whereby such patents and scientific
| developments of both companies
thru an exchange of Licenses, arr
made available to each.
| 'In January of this year both com
panies received letters from the bur
eau of steam engineering of the U. s
navy department referring to tn
wireless situation and saying tn
bureau has consistently held tn
point of view that interests shall b.
| best served by some agreement be
tween the several holders of perth
emit patents, whereby the market Cal
| be freely supplied. The letter ais
urges the necessity of some such ar
rangement so that ships at sea ma
get the benefit of the latest device
which would contribute to thei
safety and the safety of their pas
sengers.
Following this, negotiations wer
commenced between the two com
panies, with view to the exchang
of licenses so that the General Elec
trio company and the Radio Corpora
ton of America, with which it ha
become interested, would be able t
