Famous French Song.

"Ca Ira" was the first popular song
TO spring out of the French ReVolu-
ton. 1t was probably first sung In
1889 by the insurgents as they
marched to Versailles. The music
was that of contra dance which was
extremely popular under the name OF
"Carillon National" 1t was composed
by a drummer in the orchestra of the
opera house whose name was Becourt.
The air was a great favorite with
Queen Marie Antoinette. The words
were suggested by Lafayette to Ladre,
a street singer; he remembered them
from bearing Benjamin Franklin say
at various stages of the American Rev.
olution when asked for news: ga, Ira,
ca ira" cit will go, it will go). There
are FIVE stanzas with different re-
trains, becoming more ferOcious as the
revolution progressed.

Why Buried With Head to the West.

Why Buried With Head to the west.
The usual posture of the dead Is
with the feet eastward and the head
toward the west-the fitting attitude
of those who look for their Lord,
"Whose name is the East" and who
will come to judgment in the regions
Of the dawn suddenly. But 1t was
the ancient usage Of the church that
the martyr, the bishop, the saint, and
even the priest, should occupy In their
sepulture position the reverse of the
secular dead, and lie down with their
feet westward and their heads to the
rising sun. The position Of the crozier
and the cross on ancient sepulchers OF
the clergy record and reveal this fact
The doctrine suggested by such
burial was that these mighty men
would be honored with first resur-
rection and as their Master came on
from the East they were to arise and
follow the Lamb as he went; mas
much as they, with him, would ad-
vance to the judgment Of the general
multitudes, the ancients and the saints
which were worthy to judge and reign.

Pens in History.

When quill pens were in use by all
persons who knew how to write there
was a good deal Of discussion as to
what kind of quilts made the best
pen. Goose quilts were by long odds
the most numerous, but some persons,
especially those of the fashionable and
more secluded sets, preferred swan
ouills. 1t is said that the only thing
which distinguished them above goose
ouills was that they cost more. Kings
and queens, when they knew how to
write at all, usually preferred to sign
their names with eagle quilts. Queen
Elizabeth always wrote with an eagle
quill pen, so the story goes as told by
those persons who have written Of this
lady.

ms DUTY 70 AID TRAVELLERS
Postmaster Of Three Hundred Years
Ago Supplied Horses to Those
Who Needed Them.

A postmaster Of 300 years ago was
a very different person to what he Is
today. Do you want to know howT
Well, the postmaster today has to do
almost entirely with letters and par
GELS and, in England, of course, with
kilograms, too. But 300 years ago
he had to do almost entirely with
horses. Thus I wonder, says a writer
In the New York Evening Post, If you
know that William Brewster, the lead
er of the Mayfower Pilgrims, was for
many years postmaster at Scrooby,
little village in England on the great
North road, halfway between London
and Berwick?
William Brewster, however, did not
live In little house in the village
street, using the front room as post
Office, as do many village postmasters
today. Heelived in grand old house
called ScrOOby manor and his duty
was to supply horses to all travellers
who desired to hire them, for In those
days, of course, all travelling that was
not done on foot was done on horse
back. He was appointed by the gov
eminent and he had what 300 years
ago was a very handsome salary,
namely, Is a day, besides what traV-
elers used to pay him If they stayed
for night or so at Scrooby manor
on their journey. 1t was in the great
hall at .Scrooby manor that the PHI
grims used to meet before they left
England for Holland, whence, some
ten years or so later, they sailed for
America.

letters, and the Enterprise will
see to it that Old Santa gets ev-

Old Santa has sent US a tele-

it is always confusing to him.
saying he would prefer to hace
the children's letters just as they
are written. He says then he can
study the character of each
child, which he cannot do
if the letter are published, and
better govern their gifts.
So every child in Weakley coun-

Of making your wants known.

875 Miles Rural
Mail Route in Co,

While few of US may realize 1T, 1t
is a fact nevertheless that there are
575 miles of rural mail delivery route
service afforded Weakley countians.
There are 81 whole routes in the
county and number of portions Of
routes extending into Weakley coun-
ty form adjacent counties, the whole
making about 575 miles, or perhaps
a little more.
This fact was developed few days
ago when the postoffice department
of the government sent request
here for tabulation as to the num-
Der of miles of rural mail delivery
route service in this county. While
it is not known what the object is in
asking for the detailed information,
it is safe to assude that the purpose
of the postoffice department is to
get lineup on the conditions of the
roads over which these routes run,
and if road conditions are not what
they should be there day be a cur
tailment of rural mail delivery ser
wee. So it would be advisable for
patrons to begin at once giving some
attention to roads over which mail
routes operate.

Face and Head Fill
ed With Bird Shot

While out hunting Thanksgiving,
Mr.. Ruby Melton sustained painful
injuries when he received a part OF
the discharge of Jess Killebrew's
gun, loaded with small bird shot.
The young men were out hunting
and the shooting was wholly an aeci-
dent, one as profoundly regretted
by Kilebrew as by Melton. Twenty
four of the shot entered young Mel
toms face and head, but Drs. Parish
and Fields managed to extract every
shot. Mr.. Nod Melton, father Of the
wounded man, Informed us on SPIT
urday that his son was getting along
nicely, but that he was still confined
to his bed and very sore. The force
of the shot was sufficient to knock
the young man down, he being but
about 100 feet away.
