POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over
"Horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.

'The Germanophile attempt to
arouse American Indignation over the
horror On the Rhine and thereby to
leau to a split, spiritual rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed Of it's purpose
in precisely the same way that Ger
Inan propaganda in this country failed
in every one of the years between
1914 and 1915" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
"The truth is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how to go about
it. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
ting something over, fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style of responsiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts of a
ST. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor It is flattertng the
Won Mach type of boring from within
to call it's insidiOus. Insidious it is,
however, in it's intent if not in it's ap-
plication.
"Dr. Won Mach has proved himself
a poor servant Of his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America
OF Germany. He is a poor American
for having tried to win America over
to the point Of view of the unrepen-
tant nation to defeat whose govern
ment 100000 Americans gave their
lives, for attempting to resurrect a
hyphen that was theoretically buried
just three years ago. He is a poor
German because his clumsiness has
served only to arouse America to the
fact that she is still at war with Ger
many"

POST WINS ON GOLDEN CALF
Two-Headed Animal Aids in Raising
Organizations Funds From
500 to $500.

The Golden Calf of the Twentieth
century has been discovered by the
American Legion post at Fredericks-
burg, Va, which owes an increase in
its working capital from 500 to 81, 500
to two-headed juvenile COW, in full
title, to which the post invested its
scant 500 last fall.
Having induced WestmOreland
county farmer to part with the freak
animal for this sum, special levy of
various small amounts was made
upon the treasury to buy nourishment
for the calf. Then came the Virginia
state fair in Richmond and the calf
was in full bloom, eating both his
heads off and waxing fat withai.
The Fredericksburg post put him
on exhibit, charging a suitable fee.
When the fair was over and the dust
had settled. the post treasury con-
tanned $1.5OO-the accrued earnings of

Adventure-roma mys-

action, action, action-on everv
page. That's Randall Parrish's
new story, "The Mystery of the
Silver Dagger"
Suppose you were an Ameri-
can diplomat and you fell in
love at first sight with a won
derful, mysterious girl who was
apparently deep in an interna-
tional revolutionary conspiracy
and you had the identity of n
famous crook thrust upon you
and you found one of the chief

you set to work to break up the

hero and this hero's job.
AS to Randall Parrish, all
novel-readers know him and his
stories. And this is one of his
best.

Legion Men Among the Miners.

that the Misunderstanding between

It was recently that the representa-
tive of a large circus made his offer
of $3.50 for the animal and it was ac-

excitement of travel and late hours
have affected the calf's health and
that he is a poor insurance risk.

caveat emptor.

Me hodist and Advent. The Congre-
gationalists used the word meeting
house" lor ;er than any other denom-
ination. their houses of worship being
called respectively the North and
South Congregational meeting house
The North meeting house was sup
planted by the present church edi-
flee dedicated in 1855, and now gem
orally known as the Center church. 1t
is referred to in Andrews History of
the First Church of Christ, published
in 1900, sometimes at meeting
house and sometimes as a house of
worship. How long after 1867 this
edifice was called a meeting house
am una BILE to state.
1t is related that DIR. Woodruff of
the Russell and Erwin Mfg. Co. on
observing the absence of one of the
men employed by the company from
his usual seat on Sundays asked the
man why he thus stayed away from
meeting. He replied that he did not
have clothes which We're good enough
to wear to meeting. That is not a
good excuse" says the DR. You
ought to go to meeting somewhere
every Sunday. If your clothes are
not good enough to wear to the Con-
gregational meeting, then go to the
Meth odist."
Going to meeting or to church was
formerly the principal social event of
the week. There was little or moth
ing else on Sunday to turn one in any
other direction. There were no troll
ley cars, no automobiles and no Sun
day trains. For my first ride on a
Sunday train / came home from Bos-
ton. 1t was with great reluctance
that l decided to do so and I could
not help feeling somewhat guilty as /
boarded the train. After taking my
seat in the car I was both surprised

and delighted to find that I had one
of our New Britain ministers for a
fellow passenger The Sunday trains
are responsible for our Sunday mails
and Sunday papers which were fol-
lowed by Sunday ball games and Sun
day movies. There are many who
still go TO church in spite of the
numerous attractions elsewhere. The
houses of worship for all Christian
denominations are now universally
known as churches and those who at
tend them go to church The go-to
meeting phrases of other days, ia
miliar as they were, are now heard
no more.

while the Baptist and Unitarians did
not. The Lords Day with US began
at sunset on Saturday and then we
could neither work or play. but 1t was
n good time TO study our Sunday
school lesson. We were free to work
or play on Sunday evening and some
who were not Congregationalists did
the same. / often heard the remark
that Those who did not keep Satur-
day night never kept any"
On Sunday IL was seldom that any
one passed our house until about the
middle of the forenoon when they
began to go to meeting. and yet I
resided on one of the most freduented
streets The people were carly in
going to meeting. / remember that
one Mr.. Hitchcock. as n rule, was the
first person TO pass our house on
Sunday and rs nc walked by we re-
marked There goes the first bell" In
asmuch all the houses of worship
in the town were meeting houses
everyone spoke of attending Sunday
service as going to meeting" In fact.
cannot recall that ever heard any
speak OF going to church until I was
about 20 gears OF age. did not
start for Getting until some time after
Mr.. Hitchcock passed by. That gave
me ample time to stand on the portico
OF the meeting house with the other
boys and watch the people as they ar
rived. Tn greater part OF them came
by horse and carriage and we boys
knew every team at sight and where
the owner lived. In fact we knew
almost every person who came to the
meeting house on Sun
day. II was n common practice to
carry heads OF fennel. caraway. dill
and the like to meeting and to eat
the seeds In meeting time. The wom-
en- carried them In their handbags
and the men in their pockets and they
were frequently passed along to those
sitting nearby who did not have
supply of seeds. One or the other
OF the three plants above named was
cultivated in almost every garden
while in some gardens all three kinds
were grown. Because these seeds
were so commonly used in meeting
tim. they were frequently called Co
to-meeting seeds" The slips in the
body Of tha house were assigned each
year TO various go-to-meeting goers
according to age and dignity. The
seats in the two side galleries were
not thus assigned but were occupied
by children and young people. the
girls in one gallery and the boys in
the other. The choir occupied the
end gallery facing the pulpit. All the
CONGREGATION stood up turned about
and faced the choir during the sing
ing. I remember how Parson Jones
one Sunday referred to the confusion
that arose from the rustling OF silks
and shuffling OF feet when thus facing
about. and requested us to simply
rise and face the pulpit when the
hymns were being sung. The people
had great respect for Parson Jones
and his wishes were cheerfully car
ried out. There was no organ in the
meeting house hut they had a big bass
VOL and sometimes also a violin and
n flute. In prayer time part of the
congregation stood up. Isaac Bur-
rift always rose and stood erect dur

ing the prayers. He believed in free
seats and declared that he would
never sit in a slip of Gods house
which had been sold. In the latter
part of his life the church was di-
vided and part of its members built
a new Congregational meeting house
at Plantsville, which Mr.. Burritt at
tended. BIT the slips were sold and
consequently he sat during the serv-
ice in a chair which was placed in
the aisle. He owned a small farm but
his chief occupation was teaching
school notwithstanding his eccen-
tricities he was much respected and
no man in town was more frequently
called upon to make speeches on vari-
Gus occasions. He was born in New

he removed to Southington.
New Britain was the more pro-
gressive town of the two. but the GUS
toms here 20 years ago were in most
respects similar to those in Southing-
ton. No doubt they raised fennel here
and ate go-to-meeting seeds in meet
ing time on Sunday, but how many
gardens are there now in our city in
which fennel grows year after year?
This was a go-to-meeting town having
five meeting houses and two churches,
one Episcopal and one Catholic. The

tional and one each for the Baptist,

His Fondness for Children.

While Washington had no children
Of his own, he was blessed with many
nephews and nieces, who, looking up
to him as the head OF the family, re-
ceived many favors from his hand.
His sister Betty, Mrs: Fielding Lewis,
had several boys, Washington, when
nineteen, standing godfather to the
eldest. Two of her boys, Howell and
Lawrence, made their home with their
famous uncle at Mount Vernon at diff
ferent times. Another nephew, Bush
rod, a son of Washington's brother,
John Augustine, was an especial IA
vorite. His career as a lawyer was
helped by Washington, who followed
it with the greatest pride and interest,
and frequently consulted him on legal
matters. The Mount Vernon mansion,
it's library and private papers and
1000 acres were left to this nephew
OF his brother Samuers chill.

Washingtons inauguration as
the First Chief Executive

George Washington was inagurated first
President Of the United States April 80,
1889, in New York city, which at that
time was the federal capital. During the
ceremonies, the chancellor administered
the oath with great elaboration and en-
phasis, after which Washington bowed
down, seized the Bible, kissed it, and ex-
claimed with closed eyes and much devo-
ton: II swear; so help me God!" - .
Thereupon the chancellor declared. ''It
Is done,'' and turning to the crowd ex-
claimed: Long live George Washington,
President of the United states!" The
last named declaration on the part of
the chancellor was in imitation of mon
archical custom The error Of this prac;
abandoned, but at the time the crowd
thought of nothing but the exciting solem-
nifty Of the scene, and many who Demon
stratively waved their hats were too over
come by emotion to join in the huzzas.
