Everett. obtained the press from him..
Prior to the establishment Of the Mad.
isonian. according to Mr.. Everett, this
press was used for printing notices Of
town meetings, county and state blanks
and other documents.
A plate on the front Of the press bears
the inscription. "A Ramage. Patent No.
lO6." Dean Williams has tried to verify
this patent, but has been informed by
patent office officials that the govern
ment records run back only as far as No.
ITO.
This Ramaee press is set on wooden
foundation. The press bed on which the
type form is placed slides back and
forth. The type is mixed. The paper is
laid on the type and the bed moved under
the platen. Pressure is brought to bear
by the use Of hand lever and an impress
sion from the type made on the paper.
Springs release the pressure after the i'm
preston is made. From $50 TO 800 i'm
pressions an hour are possible from
press of this type.
Hand presses Of this and similar types
were used during the first $50 years of
the printing industry. 1t was not until
the middle Of the twentieth century that
inventions made possible the modern
printing facilities.

From 800 printed newspapers an hour

liams, August 10, 1912. Mr.. Everett says:
The Ramage pres. made its first ap-
pearance in America in 1870, and was
considered big improvement over the
Blaeur or German press which was used
previously. The bed and platen Of the
Ramage are constructed of iron, while
these parts in the Blaeur are made of
marble or wood.
Adam Ramage, the inventor, came to
America from Scotland about the year

CINDERELLA'S SLIPPER
VAS OF FUR, ASSERTS
YOUTHFUL ICONOCLAST

Another sacred tradition falls before
the mallet of Time. the relentless auc-
tioneer. A little Irish girl writes to the
Catholic Bulletin that Cinderella's slip.
pers were of fur rather than glass and
cites as authority Perrault's "Cendril-
lon" in the original French. Such au-
thority must be sadly accepted, for few
will be hardy enough either to question
or examine it.
And thus another sanctity is sha.ter-
ed. The old-fashioned fairy books
wherein Cinderella's slippers figured
prominently as of glass-cut, etched, or
plate-must slide into the limbo of for.
gotten things, along with the well-known
cherry tree and the equally popular mus
tache cup. The new generation will meet
Cinderella wearing her new fur slippers
and thus will lose the whole flavor Of the
stoY-the 'je-ne-sais-quoi-" mess Of it ALL
Besides, it may prove less difficult for the
wicked sisters to wriggle into the re-
vised footwear, whose propensities for
yielding would seem greater than those Of
glass.
But nothing much seems left to the new
generation, not even Santa Claus. The
good old saint is regarded with amused
tolerance as one who affords grown-ups a
little harmless pleasure. Gone too are
those classic pillars of earlier learning
and li,erature-McCuffey's Readers,
Graded, wherein old-iimers watched the
waters come down at Lodore or knelt with
Tow Brown at Rugby.
These same susceptibles must grow up
without the softening influence about
them of the family picture-father, moth
er, and the little ones. Family pictures
are no longer being done. And along
with them has gone the picture Of the
newly married pair, the groom seated
stiffly on carved chair, hands clutch.
ing its sides, while the blushing bride
stands beside him, her hand on his
shoulder. Brides are no longer blushing.
One has the horrible suspicion that
the new generation may attain the full
flower OF maturity without even hearing
the one about the mother-in-law- or that
other good one about the two Irishmen.
Nothing seems sacred before the on.
slaughts of the modern tradition smash.

MINISTER'S FIGHT.
(Preston News Seryice.)


Little Rock, Ark, 25.-Very often
pleasant discussions turn out for tn .
mutual benefit Of the participants and
hearers in knowledge gained, but o.
cassionally they have the reverse eff
feet. At a meeting Of the Young Min
listers Alliance here last Tuesday
night dispute arose over ecc1estiast,
cal ethics, beginning as a mere abstruse
question and finding its climax in ali
instensely personal exchange Of opin
ions as we'll as physical efforts. Tie
argument, it is said, arose over the
ethics and propriety Of the recent act
ion Of the organization in expelllng
one Of its members.
According to the police Revs. L. Nal
lofy and J. l.. Mack, got the worst OF
the argument. Both sustained several
cuts about their faces and arms. Rev.
Mack had to be removed to the Bush
Memorial hospital where stitches
were taken to close the wounds.
Rev. Mr.. Abe Guidon, who is alleg
ed to have inflicted the wounds upon
the two ministers, is said to have fled
to parts unknown. The police are
searching for him.
