Remarkable Oak Grove.

A member of the forestry service
states that near Champaign, ILL.,,
there exists an isolated oak grove,
about three miles long by one mile
broad. and that this is indeed a pc
culiar phenomenon. 1t is known as
Burr Oak grove and is surrounded on
all sides by open prairie, being stu
ated at a considerable distance from
the nearest stream, whereas all the
other forest tracks in central Illinois
lie along the larger water courses.
1t is believed from the character Of
the, trees in the grove that 1t mi
grated" into it's position, from the
northeast. 1t lies on a large glacial
moraine, formerly, it Is believed, COW
cred with similar trees, and has been
protected from forest fires, which
have destroyed the remainder of the
wooded area, by the water standing
in the low grounds scattered through
out the grove.-Washingt Star.

Skunk Cabbage Has Its Uses.

The skunk cabbage although its
blossom has, as its name implies, an
extremely unpleasant, malodorous
scent, is, nevertheless, a flower.
Despite the fact that the skunk cab
bage Is despised by most flower lovers,
1t nevertheless plays somewhat i'm
portant part in natures wonderful
scheme. With the earliest days that
have suspicion of spring warmth the
bees commence to leave the hooks and
crannies where they have been hiber-
mating through the long winter months,
and start out in search of that which
they are most in need of-food. This,
were 1t not for our lowly swamp dwell
er, they would be unable to find, says
Nature Magazine, and they would all
perish miserably of starvation long be-
fore another flower could supply them
with the needed food.

WISDOM From ANCIENT SAGE
Egyptian Knew Whereof He Spoke. and
His Words Are Worth Keeping
In Remembrance Today.

Long centuries. before Tut-Ankh-
Amen ruled as Pharaoh in the land Of
the Nile. certain Ptah Hotep served
his king, Itoso. In the capacity of vizler.
Very little Is known about this ancient
statesman-p philosopher beyond the fact
that, like all fond parents since the
world began, he exercised his paternal
prerogative by giving unsought advice
to his son.
DR.. James Walsh of Fordham uni
versity has called attention to the
vizier's letters to his boy, written ap-
parently about $500 years ago, and
preserved in what Is claimed by some
to be the oldest book In the world.
The burden of one epistle seems to
have been not unlike the oft-quoted
advice of Shakespeare's Polonius of
much later day-"Beware of entrance
to quarrel" OTHER words of Hotep
were: Don't argue with your superb
ors; 1t does not do any good. Don't
argue with your equals; make plain
statement and let it go at that Don't
argue with your interiors let them
talk and they will make fools of them
selves"

WAR IN IRREGULAR MANNER
Guerrillas Have Never Been Recog-
nized as Part Of the Armed
Forces In Controversy.

The term guerrilla Is applied to
armed bands who, ON the occasion of
foreign invasion or civil war, carry on
an irregular warfare on their own
account. This class Of fighters belongs
particularly to Spain, where from 1908
to 1914 they were systematically or
ganized against the French whose
operations they very seriously en-
barrassed. The country itself also
suffered from them Many of them,
particularly Mina's band. Joined Well
ington, and, after having undergone
course of discipline, rendered signal
service as regular troops. On the
conclusion of peace large numbers
were organized into robber bands. In
most Of the civil wars Of Spain since
1920, guerrilla warfare, especially in
the Basque provinces, played promi-
nent part. In the Civil war of the
United States, bands of guerrillas com
mitted depredations on both Federals
and Confederates.

The saga relates that the discoverer,
and first settler on the Isle OF Gott-

From the same source one learns that
the island was then In such an I'M
stable condition that it was sub
merged In the daytime, and rose to
the surface at night, but Thjelvar ex-
terminated with fire the trolls and
evil spirits that infested it, and never
since that time have the waters broken
over "the Pearl of the Baltic" In
later years. the early Middle ages,
Cortland was indeed a power to be
reckoned with, and 1t is the comblna-
ton Of ancient fairy lore and an inter-
esting historical past that makes the
island so attractive and favorite spot
for tourists intent on exploring strange
ground.
