historic SITE e
GFfE2zD TG SCHOOL
Point on Which Ild.an Is SAID .
Have Stood When he Named
the Chic River.

One of K~entucky's most historic
spots-pictnred in old etchings and
modern histories as the point on which
the Indian stood when he gave the
name of "Ohio" to the riyer-has been
offered as a site for an Evangelical
seminary. With the offer is a dona-
ton of $4,000 as an endowment.
The proposed site of the seminary
is the top Of the highest hill of the
Knobs that command a 20-mile
sweep of the Ohio river. It is located
a few miles from Dayton and was the
spot upon which Gen. James Taylor
of Revolutionary fame built an i'm
mense brick mansion. lie was grant
ed the site with LOO acres as a bonus
for his services in the war. In ITS
he acquired title.
The house is of ancient style brick
and has large colonial columns across
the front.
According to legend, which has re-
ceived eredence in histories, an Indian
tribe reached the summit of the hill
and for the first time saw the long
curving stretch Of the river. The
beauty of the scene caused the first
Indian to utter an exclamation of de-
light. The word "Oh.o" is said to
have been the word expressing his
emotion, and meal beautiful river"
The first white man credited with
discovering and exploring the length
Of the river was LaSalle.
The site Of the house built by Gen
eral Taylor rests on a ledge. Pictures
in history depict IN Indian. with his
hand shading his eyes, gazing across
the river.
The site is now owned by George
W. Perry, wealthy real estate man of
Dayton. He acquired il from DIR. r.
win Taylor, a descendant of General
Taylor. The offer includes ten acres
and the brick mansion on top of the
hill.

PHYSICIAN GIVES BLOOD
TO SAVE PATIENTS LIFE
Doctor, Father Of Four ChIldre;i,
Couldn't See Father of Five
Pass Out.

After giving a quart of his blood In
TRANSMISSION to save the life of a patient
who was the father of five dependent
children. DR.. Merle Paul of Barre,
Mass, has been. compelled to sacrifice
part of his practice on account of the
Infection of the wound, which for a
tine threatened his health. Although
Doctor PAUL. himself the father of four
children, regards lightly the action,
which rye at Hahnemann hospital,
Worcester, declare saved Antonio Ca
pello of South Barre from certain
death, he has made repeated efforts TO
conceal the heroic incident.
ITS all foolishness to talk about
It," said Doctor PAUL. Il had a blood
TRANSMISSION, but that is nothing more
than doctors are doing almost every
day. l know half a dozen physicians
who have done the same thing. Why
single me out? l would rather the in
cident went unmentioned."
Tony Capello does not view Doctor
Paull's action so lightly.
Hes one man in a thousand, that
Doctor Paul." said Tony.
When Tony was admitted to Hahne-
mann hospital in Worcester June %,
he Immediately underwent an opera
ton, Hemorrhages followed and he
lost such a quantity of blood that Doc
tor PAUL was notified in Barre. When
he arrived he was told Capello was
going to die.
But he must not die. He is the
father of five children" Doctor PAUL
said. So the father of four children
gave new life to the father of five.
After the TRANSMISSION Doctor Paul
drove his automobile all the way to
his home in Barre. 1t is thought fhis
exposure so soon after the loss of a
large amount of blood laid the funda-
ton for his illness later. Doctor PAUL
has practiced in this town for ten years
and he was 10th to default any Of the
numerous demands made upon him. But
later he was compelled to take a rest
and for a time it was necessary to aban-
don most of his practice except such
calls as were made at his home.

THE FINE ART OF KISSING.
BY A. Wise Gle.

People will kiss Yet only one in a
thousand knows how to extract the
maximum of bliss from ruby lips.
And yet it is simple, at least for the
initiated. Follow these directions for
best results:
First, know with whom you are
clinching don't make any mistakes
although a mistake may be a good
one.
Don't jump like "a cat for a mouse
and smack the dainty thing on the
arm, or in the ear, or on the head.
Do not be in a hurry
The gentleman should be taller. al
though this isn't absolutely necessary.
He should have a clean face, a kindly
eye, and a mouth-ful of expression.
Don't be anxious TO kiss in a crowd.
Two are plenty to corner and nab a
kiss, more would spoil the fun.
Take the left hand of the female in
your right. Let your hat go to -.
Throw your left arm over the shoulder
of the lady and slip it around to her
right side below her arm.
Do not be in a hurry
Her left arm is in your right-let
there be a faint pressure on that, not
like the grip of a wise, but a gentle
grasp, full of thought, respect and
electricity. Do not be in a hurry!
Her head lies lightly on your Shout
der. You are heart to heart. Look
deep into her half closed orbs. Gent
ly, but firmly. press her to your vest.
Stand firm, be brave, but do not be in
a hurry! Her lips are almost open.
Lean slightly with your head, take
careful aim-the lips meet, the eyes
close, the heart opens, the soul rides
through tempests, but do not be in a
hurry Heaven opens before you. the
earth flies from under you like a blaz-
ing rocket acros the evening sky.
Don't be afraid. No fuss, no noise, no
fluttering. no squirming. You are
twanging the golden chords of costa
sy.
But do not be in a hurry

u. S. Steam ShOvels
Level Paris Walls

Paris, Dec. 1S-American steam
shovels, left behind in France by the
American army, are speeding up the
work of demolishing the fortified
walls Of the old city to such an ex-
tent that it will probably be complet-
ed in five years instead of the rs
years it doubtless would have taken
by pick and shovel.
The work started in 1919, and its
end seemed SO far away that no one
concerned himself with the outcome.
Now the end is virtually at hand, due
to the efficiency of American machin-
cry, and the astonished people of
Paris fOresee the inevitable battle
between Paris and it's suburbs over
the extension of the city limits to in
clude the entire department of the
Seine.
AS soon as the wall is down a law
will be introduced into parliament
consolidating the suburban towns of
Boulogne. Neuilly, Levallois. Saint
Denis, Pantin, Clarendon, Vincennes,
Ivry and q good many others with
Paris. The suburban communities
say this is too much honor. They
prefer to go on living a modest sub
urban life, to share in the splendors
Of the capital. Besides, they reckon
the cost will be greater than the
honor.
Paris replies that the suburbs will
enjoy the improvements that will be
made on the site of the Notifications,
and that therefore they should come
in and share the expenses.

the shock of their lives.
"You. Mr.. Governor" shouted the
boy at the conclusion Of his prepared
discourse, you promised to make
some improvements in this school.
You promised to provide more desks,
You promised to enlarge the build
ing and to give us more teachers.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Governor, you have
not kept single one of these prom

National Philippine
Language Expected

Manila. p. l., Dec. IA Philippine
national language may be the result
of resolution which Senator Villa
nueva has introduced in the senate.
The resolution calls for the appoint
ment of u permanent committee of
one member from each of the larger
language regions of the Philippines
to study the question of evolving and
adopting national language, extern
sion of one of the dialects or combin-
ing several of these.
Senator Villanueva believes that
the proper national language for the
Philippines is one whose base, at
least, is Malayan, and in the proposed
committee he would have represented
the Illocos, Pampangan, Tagalog.
Bicol and Visayan regions. Visayan
is spoken by nearly one half Of the
people of the Philippines, but the

Belfast Homes
Recall to Mind
Famous Architect

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Belfast. Me. Jan. with the an
oouncement that English and Ameri-
can architects are to observe on Feb.
25th. the 200th anniversary of the
death of Sir Christopher Wren, the
famous English architect who sleeps
in st. Paul's Cathedral, London.
which he designed, any city which
can claim to have bit Of his archi-
lecture within it's borders is indeed
fortunate.
Belfast, Me-, can and does boast of
ehis honor for there are two stately
mansions, more beautiful today even
than when they were built nearly
. hundred years ago. and almost a
hundred years after the death of the
artist.
Perhaps Of these two places, Geor-
Fian Hall. as it is now called. the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph w.
Blaisdell. formerly Of New York, is
The most admired and is without
doubt the show place of the city. 1t
stands on a sloping lawn far back
from High street, on the Atlantic
Highway, over which thousands of
motorists pass every summer and
few there are indeed. who do not
pause to admire the unusual and
beautiful place.
The house and that at the juno
Zion Of Church and High, which
form a fiat -iron where Northport
avenue begins and over which all in
coming and out going traffic on the
Atlantic Highway must pass, both
claim the distinction Of having been
built from modified designs of the
great Englishman. The last named
place is now the summer home of
Hon. James P. Talliaferro, of Jack
scnville. ex-United States senator
from Florida.
Just how the designs Of the great
English architect drifted into this
remote corner Of New England will
probably always remain something
of a mystery, but it is believed that
Ghey were a part of the number sent

3ng of Mt. Vernon and other old CO.
Spnial mansions.
Both have the pillared porches on
