ATTEMPT IS MADE
TO KIDNAP LITTLE
GIRL FROM RIPLEY
Stranger Leads Little Girl Astray at
South Portsmouth Station-Friend
Of NeighbOr Rescues Girl
On Ferry Boat.
The Ripley Bee says:

lue Nlpley DEG says.
Miss Kathryn Swisher, the 12-year-
old daughter Of MIR. and Mrs. Il. +,
Swisher of Ripley, had narrow es-
cape from being kidnapped at South
Portsmouth, KY, last Saturday. The
little girl was at the depot with her
father. grandmother and uncle, e. l..
Hiatt, awaiting westbound c. & o.
train No Z to come to Ripley. There
was a crowd of over 400 persons at the
depot. Just before No. z whistled an
unknown blonde young man with a
small light mustache approached the
little girl and said: Your sister,
Helen Hiatt, is across the river and
wants you to come back and spend an
other week with her-there she is,
standing on the bank across the river
in Portsmouth" Katherine said: 81
will go and tell Papa that l am going
back to Helen's." But the man object
ed saying, mo, you'll miss the ferry II
you don't hurry take these two nick
els and hurry TO the boat" He rushed
the child to the ferryboat and told her
that he would cross in a skin Kathryn
got to thinking about the matter as the
boat crossed and began crying. A lady
whose home was near the residence
OF Mrs. Hiatt on Scioto Trail and who
knew Kathryn, saw she was in tears
and asked what was the trouble. Kath-
crime then told the lady all about
what the strange man had said and
pointed him out in the skin out In the
river. The man saw them pointing
him out and Immediately rowed to the
Kentuckv shore and disappeared. The
lady friend then took charge OF Kath-
ryn, and took her to her sister, Mrs.
Hiatt's home.
This narrow escape OF Miss Swisher
should be a warning to girls to never
speak to strangers when travelling.
For had this lady friend not been on
the boat. Kathryn's fate would likely
have never been known.

WEDDING STOOD FOR PLEDGE
In Ancient Times It Was Not a Mar
rlaae, as That Term Is Under
stood Today.

wedding" Is now synonymous with
marrying" but this Is a compare
lively late development. Originally the
two words stood for distinct things.
Marrying" meant marrying as the
term is now used, but wedding"
meant mere pledging which held
for year, after which the couple
would agree to continue the trial mar
riage longer or separate and find other
partners.
Under the Danish influence in
England wedding" became so COM
mon that an archbishop felt com
PEELED to condemn It. other church
men were not So strict The custom,
observes Alice Arayton Greenwood In
the opening volume of her History Of
the People of England, was rife in
the north, where even a bishop al
lowed his daughter TO wed in this
manner. This daughter had three
husbands. to each Of whom she brought
as dowry six states which her father
had bestowed upon her, but which had
really belonged 10 his cathedral
church and not to him Eventually
these estates went to her son and be-
came hereditary. Things had way Of
becoming hereditary in those days;
there was even hereditary parish
clergy.

Nut crackers are not considered a

Yet there is no better form Of diet
than nuts declares a writer in London
Answers. The family fable which con
signs them to the catalogue Of the in
digestibles Is can unconscionable time
a-dying." A childs taste, however, is
often tie best criterion Of a foods val
ne. and all children love nuts, even as
do monkeys.
We should consume nuts all the
year round, eating. say, a certain
quantity daily, chewing them methodi-
cally.
If children had as free access to the
nut crop as have monkeys there would
be fewer digestive weaklings. This ap-
plies to grOwnups as well.
If nuts disagree, even with the most
delicate. It is because they are par
taken Of at the wrong time. When
consumed between meals they are al
most certain to disagree, as they will

GREAT MAN FIRST OUNCE"
Term Has Come Down to Us in the
Present Day In a Somewhat
Roundabout Manner.

II you should ever be called q
Ounce" don't feel insulted. Just
show your superiority by springing
this interesting bit of information. He
who made the term famous was q
great man. He was considered one of
the most learned doctors of the early
church and of the Franciscan order.
His name was Duns Scotus, and though
he was Ounce by name he was not by
nature as he was renowned for his
sharpness and keenness. The present
significance of the word Ounce" de-
rived from the name "Duns," is the
result of ancient theological disputes.
Away back In the Middle ages the
churchmen who had been educated In
the schools founded by Charlemagne
were considered the savants of their
age and were respected for their great
learning. The time soon came, how
ever, when these theOlogians were no
longer regarded as authorities and
when their writings became unpopular
because of the ponderous and scholar
ly style in which they were expressed.
Among such theOlogians, called
"schoolmen," Duns Scotus was a prom
inent representative and leader. Con-
seQuently when a follower of his ex-
pounded theories or quoted from the
works of the "schoolmen," he was
told, 80, you are a Duns," which i'm
piled, "OId stuff, my boy, entirely too
dull to be modern Hence we have
the word Ounce" meaning dull,
heavy, dense.
