"GOlNG HACK HOME" TO THE VILLAGE

hN Aa#hAshNh@
 Every village and town, be lt ever so small has its "oIl boys" who have attained distinction in larger rcnters A opportunity; and the Christmas, Holidays bring about an opportunity lJ discuss them more or less lispass.onutely, lf they re- turn for visit 10 the scene Of their beginnings in life they arc regarded with favor and get niCe write-up In the towu paper; if they remain away year after year the townsfolk conclude thoy have takp on city airs and are too uppish to have ancht more 10 do with the simple simous they left hohind
 Tho man who left the small Nll- lage for the great city and attained some sort Of distinction thcrc al- ways looks bigger to the folks he left behind than he does 10 his fcI- low-cltizcns in the large city, h. deed, there is many a man who is deemed 70 possess a superior mind and great attachments generally, but Is known as such only to his former fellow townsmcn in and around Bingville, while in New York or Boston where he may have attained all this bucolic great ness, he is scarcely known outside of an intimate circle.
 There are some occupations in which to attain distinction it is inn possible to live in any other city than the metropolis. or the lesser metropoli with population marks in the millions, But there are countless occupations that offer just as noble rewards in fame and fortune in the jerkwater places, One is reminded of the story of a rich New Yorker every New Yorker who figures in q good story must at least be "rich-who was enroute 10 his home town, which he had not visited in many years. On the train he met a fellow New Yorker who was bound for the same place. New Yorker No. spoke disraragingly Of the folks in his birthplace, but added that, it being the begining of the holiday season, he deemed it pleasant ex- perience to return 10 the scenes of his boyhood for a change from the hurly- -burly Of his present doml- cile. He continued in this vein for quite a time, ending by observing that of course no one could think of anybody in the small town amounting to anything. Then he asked his train companion why he was going to the town. The other handed him his card with a smile - and on 1t was engraved tho name Of one of the leading surgeons in the metropolis.
 I'm going to Bingville because there is doctor there who has shaken the medical profession with his discoveries and achievements, and I thought I would take ad- vantage of the holiday rest 10 take a run out there and get few tips for my profession" the surgeon re- piled,
 Then he named the smaIltown doctor and the other New Yorker remarked that he knew the gentle man "whcn left the place as a boy" but never thought he would amount to anything in a small place"
 Every doctor in the country 1 knows of him." replied the surgeon 'Evidently living in Bingyil.e didn't hurt him any,
 Some Of the fellows Nho left inc villages for ",he big city" CT any other near-big city haven't really done so well as their former ttIo" townsmcn give them credit for. A man of talent and energy dotsn need to worry about where he hap 1 rans to he 1nCatcl

Strange though it may be, every family tree must have its sap.
Little Erncst's Essay

Babies
 Everybody was Il baby at Ieest once.
 You often hccr people say they wish they was a boy or a gerl agen, but you never hecr them say they wish they was a baby agen, either because they don't remember weather it was eny fun or not or clts because they don't like the way babies look.
 If you tell a babys father or mother that it looks like them it makes them feel stuck up and grate, vile if you told a stranger the same about most babies they wouldent feel eny way except in- suited.
 Babies start without eny hair, teeth, name or langwidge.
 Wen a baby gets even dhe small size tooth everybody gets as iXcited about it as if it was big gold one.

ANCIENT JEWELRY
PLACED ON DISPLAY
National Geographic Society
Shows Objects Found in
New Mexico.

A special exhibition Of antiques
from the prehistoric Pueblo Bonito,
obtained by the National Geographic
Society during recent explorations in
New Mexico, is being held in the Hall
OF American Arch eology, in the New
National Museum Building. Although
comprising only, a small portion of
the collection recovered in this par
ticular operation, the special exhibit
ton is being held to meet the nu-
merous requests from local members
Of the Geographic Society.
What Is said to be the most inter
esting exhibit Is turquoise neck
lace and two pairs of large turquoise
ear pendants, The latter are believed
the only ones of the kind ever found
in an ancient American ruin. There
are many other personal ornaments.

nearest of which. except for the planets
in our own solar system, are trillions

ably is the greatest extension in his

evolution of star hitherto has been
held to consist of the gradual shrink
Ing of an enormous gas mass to some

these great stars are made up of
elemental atoms which, under intense
heat, are stripped of their outer cleo
trons-that they actually are send
