Relics of the Bruce

A fnd Of an interesting character
has been made on the field where the
famous battle Of Bannockburn was
fought in 1914, and where, it is
claimed, Scotland won its independence
as a nation. Three sharp-pointed
wooden stakes in an excellent state Of
preservation have been discovered
three feet below the surface onNa piece
of land formerly known as the Milton
Bog.
This bog is referred to in the chron.
icles of the battle, history recording
that King Robert the Bruce Of Scot
land had pits made in the bog and
pointed stakes placed in them to stay
the progress of the English cavalry,
and it is matter OF history or ira
dition that this device proved to be
very successful. These stakes, which
were found standing upright in the
sell, are regarded as genuine, and are
now being treasured as historical rec
ords in the ancient, town Of Stirling.

Barbados Man TraDels
10000 Miles for Wife

The course OF true love, famed for
ifs failure to run smooth, has estab-
lished a record in the case Of w. Percy
Emtage, electrical engineer Of the Bar
bados, says the New York World. It
carried him 10000 miles.
Three years ago Emtage first saw
Sibyl Peterkin, also Of the Barbados,
and set out to get an introduction. He
succeeded and followed It with pro-
posaL Miss Peterkin said she would
love to be his sister and then packed
up and departed for Boston.
Both wrote, Emtage's letters were
pleading; Miss Peterkin's friendly and
discouraging. Finally she quit writing
altogether. Her last letter explained
he was a mice boy, but"
This was six months ago and EN-
tage decided Boston might be interest
ing. He went there. Miss Peterkin
had gone to Los Angeles. Emtage
went to Los Angeles. but she had left
for San Francisco. He followed, but
she had returned to Boston.
Cheerfully he started back across
the continent, only to find she had quit
Boston for Brooklyn. He found her
there in the home Of her uncle, Ed
ward Pyle.
Then Miss Peterkin gave up. They
were married recently in the Munich
pal building, New York.

An IIIlterate,s Letter.

One of the most pathetic figures in
the great war was the soldier who
could mot read or write. In Moon
light schools Mrs. Cora Wilson Stew
art tells how one illiterate soldier was
wont to "write home"
"Will you address dozen en-
velopes for me to my mother. please? r.
one man said to another at Y. M. q.
A. hut in France.
''Gertainly," was the reply. But
why a dozen? Are you planning to
write to her every day? You must be
a dutiful sonp'
"No. these are to last me year"
said the first soldier. 81 promised my
mother that I'd get some envelopes adj
dressed and that once month I'd
slip dollar into one and mail it to
her, by that she'd know that was
still alive."-Youth's Companion.

GEAR RIGHT OF way

Should fire thruck, responding to
an alarm, drive at a moderate speed :?
This seems to be a question in the
minds of many.
A fire truck is equipped with ap-
paratus for warning the public of it's
approach. Also the whistle on the
p. 3. Sharpless Co. plant is sounded,
thus warning everyone that the fire
truck is on the s treet somewhere,
and needs the right of way.
When an alarm is sounded there
is no way for the firemen to know the
extent. OF blaze. They respond be-
cause an alarm of fire has been given,
and speed is an essential. Time is
an important factor when fire RACES,
and the firemen and their apparatus
should have the right of way, to get
to the scene of fire as quickly as
possible.
People should be out of the way,
and should shoulder the respon-
sibility in event of an accident
through their failure to give the
fire truck the right of way at such
a time.
There is nothing unreasonable,
about the speed with which the equip
ment is run to the scene, as human
life and property are at stake. and it
is the duty of the firemen to use all
possible speed in responding to the
call for aid.
The law gives the fire truck right
of way over all other vehicles and
also allows truck to carry high power
head light tense.
Yours for better fire service.

LEGEND or FAMOUS STONE
Sovereign Went Wherever Coronation
+ Stone Was Carried, Scotch
Belief.

The stone which is called the Coro-
nation stone in England, to most yisi-
tors probably the most interesting
thing in Westminster abbey, has an
other and much more ancient name.
It's true name is Gaelic-Liath Fhat-
hail, which means In English the
"Gray Stone Pillow"
Now, it is certain that Queen Vic.
toria firmly believed that the British
royal house descended from King
David, and, therefore, from Jacob
himself, and that the stone upon
which she received her crown was the
Identical one upon which he rested
his head at Bethel when he dreamed
Of ascending and descending angels
and heard Of the future greatness of
the nation he should found.
The stone is also called the Stone
of Destiny. Doubtless this name, or
the tradition it enshrined, was the
reason that prompted the astute Ed
ward to carry it from its ancient
site at Scone to his own capital Of
London and deposit it in st. Edward
the Confessor's chapel. 1t has re-
manned there ever since, except for
one brief ceremony-the installation
of Oliver Cromwell as lord protector
In Westminster hall.
But why the Stone Of Destiny?
Well, not only had all the ancient
kings of Scotland, from the remotest
dawn Of Scottish history, been
crowned on this stone, but it was
firmly believed that wheresoever this
stone went there would go the sover-
eighty.
That was exactly what Edward
sought, so he carried Off the Stone Of
Destiny. Doubtless, he also believed
that this disaster" as the Scots re-
garded it, would break the spirit Of
the northern kingdom. In this, Of
course, he was greatly mistaken, as
Bannockburn abundantly proved.
There was another reading Of the
legend, however. It was this-that
wherever the stone went there Scot
should rule. And, with the death Of
Elizabeth, the crown Of England de-
volved upon pure Scot, James vi Of
Scotland becoming James Of Great
Britain and Ireland. It is, too, by
virtue of his Stuart blood that King
George sits today on the throne Of
Britain.
Since the day that Edward / car.
ried the Stone of Destiny from Scone
and deposited 1t in the abbey every
English sovereign, with one exception,
has been crowned upon it. That one
exception was Mary, the. unhappy
daughter Of Henry VIII and RATHER.

First LeDiathan Was Failure

The FIRST attempt to provide trans
atlantic travellers with a vessel that,
in size and magnincence, would be q
floating hotel, was made in the build
ing Of the Great Eastern. The launch
ing Of this huge ship. for some time
called the Leviathan, was commenced
November 2, 1857. but owing to the
difficulty of moving the enormous
weight, the vessel was not finally
afloat until early In 1858.
The secret of managing so large a
liner had not yet been learned, and
the Great Eastern was from the first
a white elephant to her owners. Her
only real service was in the laying Of
Atlantic cables. She made her last
voyage 80 years ago, and was then
disposed Of as junk. The pioneer
