Erie Canal Souvenir.

Nearly 100 years ago. when the
Erie canal was opened De Witt Clin-
ton poured a bucket Of water from
Lake Erie into New York bay as part
of the opening exercises. The keg
which was made use Of on this occa-
sion was preserved and now reposes
in the museum of the New York His
torical society. Clinton was really the
father of the Erie canal and worked
up sentiment in it's favor in the
face of the greatest opposition. After
he had served without any compensa-
ton for 15 years on the canal COM
mission he was summarily removed
by his political enemies and this act
resulted in boomerang, for a great
sympathy was expressed for Clinton,
which ultimately resulted in his cleo
ton as governor. It was then that
he brought about the completion of
the canal.

Jenny lind in 1851.

Anne HOllingsWOrth Wharton writes
in her book, 'In Old Pennsylvania
Towns" that while visiting in Hol-
lidaysburg friends told her Of other
and more romantic associations, still
recalled by old inhabitants who re-
membered Jenny Lind's visit to Blair
county in 1851. Mr.. Snyder related
an incident connected with the Swed-
ish singers stay at khe Mountain
house, which was situated at a rail-
road junction near Hollidaysburg.
While at this hotel the singer en-
gagged a carriage to take her up the
mountain side and on reaching place
from which there was an extended
view of the distant mountains, the
valley and the Juniata flowing
through it, she was so impressed by
beauty of the scene that she greeted
it with an outburst of song so ex-
quisite, said the narrator, that the
birds, her only hearers except the
coachman, must have felt that a rival
of their own kind had joined them.
The view of the hill and valley may
have reminded the Swedish nightin-
gale of some scene in her own land,
as the song with which she broke in
on the stiffness of the mountain side
was "Home, Sweet Home"

FIRST TO ILLUSTRATE BOOK
walton, Many Years Before the
Coming Of Christ.

Book illustrations are so cOmnO1
nowadays, and the various processes
of reproducing pictures in print so
highly developed that it seems al
most strange to contemplate the fact
that there was a time when the first
illustrated book created q veritable
sensation.
The event occurred in the year 20
B. c. Varro, a rather mediocre writer
Of ancient Rome, had been struggling
for recognition for a good many
years when he suddenly conceived the
idea of preparing a volume containing
the biographies of 700 of his most ia
nous fellow-citizens.
History is silent on the rather in
teresting question whether Varro
charged them for his services or not,
but it is loud in his praise as the
first writer who conceived the idea of
illustrating his work with portraits.
They were crudely drawn, and as
to whether they were good likenesses
or not, will always remain an open
question. But they were illustrations
all the same, and after that the GUS
tom of embellishing historical works
with drawings became a fad among
the writer's of those days.

FATIMA WAS Perfect WOMAN
SUIT, According to This, She Should
Have Lived to See Her Name
on the BlIboards.

Fatima lived in the Seventh century,
but by all rhyme and reason should
have lived in the present day, when
she could see her name on the bill
boards and all the cigar store Win
dows, remarks a writer in the Cincin-
natl Commercial-Tri Fatima was
the perfect woman of her time Mar
ried to a nObleman, one of the great
roues of Egypt, she bore three sons
whose first names all started with
Ali. Fatima was beautiful to look
upon and tried during her time to
grab all the best looking hooters in
and about Mecca-which, like Fatima,
is celebrated in cigarette lore.
Fatima was a daughter of Moham-
med, who wrote number of oriental
spectacles and staged several others
at the Arabian Hippodrome but who
was shocked to death after seeing an
American version.
Fatima shook her first husband and
started in to win Bluebeard, not that
the noted butcher appealed to her, but
she was curious to know what hap
pened to so many women in Bluey's
bailiWick.
Fatima was the symbol of feminine
curiosity-in that, every time she
heard of any local scandal, she said:
"I'lI look into that
Fatima lived for Is years, which
was a long, long time when one
considers the period In which she
thrived-if she did thrive-and the
very fact that she lasted over the
honeymoon period with Bluebeard is
greatly in her favor.
She was one of the first electricians
of her day, being associated intimately
with "Aladdin's lamp"-and lived to
see her husband '.lit up several times
during the darkest spells.

RAWLINS DEFEATS LARAMIE

The Laramie Republican of March
3rd carried the following story of the
basketball game between Rawlins and
Laramie High in Laramie on Thurs
day evening last:
Laramie High lost a hard played
game on the uni floor to Rawlins last
night by the score of Is to 81. The
play was fast. bordering on rough
ness with both teams registering
strong finishes from weak begin
nings. Laramie was two points be-
hind at the intermission. due to her
inability to connect with the hoop in
the initial period, and was bested by
two points in the second half. leaving
her the loser by four points. Rawlins
won the game in the second session
by the good work OF Close and
O'Melia. who registered seven baskets
between them. frequently shooting
from just inside the free throw mark
without molestation. During this
half Mast totaled three baskets. De
Forest two and Cordiner and Green
wood one each. Laramie might have
evened up the points by more accur-
ate free throwing. but as it occurred.
Rawlins threw five penalty losses to
Laramie's three. The Red and White
warriors lost their opportunity when
they failed to take advantage of Raw
Inns Slowness in recording POINTS in
the first half. Laramie only con-
nected twice DUNG the first half
with the hoop, thereby relinquishing
to the visitors a two-pOint lead which
they were unable TO overcome later
