Mountain States Monitor.

The chestnut tree, which is found
In the mountain ranges of the Blue
Ridge and Alleghanies supports the
communication system of the country
and plays an important part in light
ing the way in the cities and towns
of large areas of this country. If I
could feel that l were going to be
part of things-importan things like
that would feel that had not lived
In vain.
A chestnut tree was my nearest
neighbor in the forest grove, where
we forGed a real friendship.
A short time ago he was taken
away and we separated forever He
too will be something useful, while
will be an ornament for short time
and then will be discarded
One day crew of men came into
the woods and following along a path
that led from the road into the forest,
stopped at this tall, shapely chestnut
zee, and after looking Il over, de.
c1ded that it would serve a useful
purpose as a pole in one Of the lines
Of the coNntry's best Known COM
munication system. After sizing up
the way the tree should fall, the big
cross-cut saw began to bite iato the
bark and, as it cut deeper and deeper,

FINALLY with a crash the tree fell
headlong to the earth, and soon his
limbs were clipped from his body by
the clean strokes of axes in the strong
hands of the woodsmen Then the
smooth, clinging bark was skinned
away, leaving the tree a bare trunk
that apparently could serve no useful
purpose.
But soon the long white timber was
loaded on a truck and hauled away
from the mountain where it had
grown and flourished. After miles of
travel the tree, which was to become
a pole, was set up in line as

After being set in the line, linemen
came along and gave the pole new
arms to take the place of those that
had been trimmed away by the woods.
men. Later these arms were covered
with glass insulators, on which shin
ing copper wires were placed. Over
these wires messages are carried back
and forth across the country.
Soon the pole heard the humming
noises produced by the wind-sounds
not unlike the stunning of the
strings on a gigantic harp. Then 1t
realized that it had become a part OF
the countrys system of communities

its objective and would now serve q

Danger in BuIIfghfing

The buIlfght is very dangerous
fighting game, according to the best
authorities. The star of the perform
ance Is the matador, who kills the
bull alone. Authorities give US facts
to prove that many matadors are
killed. and all are wounded at some
time of their careers. The risks they
take are marvellous. They sit on chairs
before charging bulls, and at the last
moment spring from the chair and the
bull carries the chair away on his
horns. They rest their elbows on the
head Of the bull The matador some
times attempts TO leap over the bull
with the aid Of long pole, but many
miscalculations are made, which end
IN disaster. There are even rare oc-
casions when a large bull will leap
out of the ring and gain the seats oc-
cupied by the spectators. The mata-
dor. in killing the bull, stands per
fectIy still and lets the bull rush on
his sword, the bull often taking the
matador up in his horns and throw
ING him into the air. Many times the
matador is caught up against the
wooden inner ring and Gored to death.

Popular Johnny Cake
Traced TO ShdDneeS

1t has been generally claimed by
students of words that Johnny cake"
is corruption of Journey cake" APP
parently there is no evidence to sup
port the theory. VIII II. Lowderm;lk,
in his History of Cumberland, has adj
vanced a theory which seems to be
more plausible. A favorite article Of
diet among the Shawnee Indians who
lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia and Ohio was a cake made Of
corn beaten as fine as the means at
command would permit. This was
mixed with water and baked on a fiat
stone which had Feen previously heat
ed in the fire. The early hunters and
trappers in this region followed the
example Of the Indians in making
these cakes, which they called "Shaw-
nee cakes" after the tribe. After the
lapse of few years Shawnee cake"
was corrupted by those who did not
know its origin into Johnny cake"

Old Rag Dolls More
Durable Than Pretty

In many of the early New England
homes rag dolls were treasured heir
looms. They were of all sizes, and at
tired in all sorts of quaint costumes.
The only points in common were that
their faces were invariably fiat, their
hands stiff and rigid and their toes
turned out in "west-footed' manner.
Sometimes they had black buttons
for eyes, but more frequently their
faces were painted with beet and fruit
juices viewer, their eyes, noses
and mouths were sometimes embroid-
cred. For hair they had toupees Of
yarn or hemp or small punches OF
real hair Their clothing was usually
of the full-skirted variety and they
sometimes wore sunbonnets of the
same material as their dresses. One
doll of this type is said to have pleased
the daughters of one New Hamp-
shire family for more than eighty
years, and is still in use. OF course
it is a little worse for wear, but 1t
may be made new again simply by
recovering its face with new piece
Of cloth.-Pathfinde Magazine

Spleen In Nature OF
Sforehouse for Blood

For a long time the spleen was as
ISOLATED with an irritable temper. To
day we hardly believe that. What we
do know is that it is a muscular bag
lying on the left side of the body,
near the upper end Of the stomach.
and that it sometimes engorges with
blood, and swells. But the blood,
strange to say. is not ordinary blood
The spleen seems to, be sieve, and
Sits the blood so that only one GER
tain kind of red corpuscles can ger
through. These corpuscles, which are
thought to be the ones that have been
in the body the longest time, appear
in many cases to die in the spleen,
so that the organ has the reputation
of being a cemetery for red corpuscles.
The spleen is not selfish, however
when the body needs blood the spleen
empties itself. This is thescase when
exercise is taken or when there is slow
poisoning by coal gas or loss of blood
by hemorrhage, says Barefoot. But
when much blood is in circulation, as
when there is undue strain on the
heart, the spleen dilates and blood is
withdrawn.

Medical MisfIefoe

In the former days it was believed
that the mistletoe had some mysteri-
GUS medicinal virtues, but, it was
thought, to become a really efficacious
remedy all mistletoe used medicinal
ly must be plucked from an oak tree
upon which the parasite rarely grows.
1t was considered unlucky to cut this,
or to sell it. In 1857 the only oak
known to bear mistletOe grew in Nor
wood, Eng. Some persons cut this
mistletoe and sold pieces to London
apothecaries at 10 shillings each.
Accordingly we read that of these
"sacrilegious wretches one fell lame,
each of the others lost an eye, and
the ringleader broke his leg"

World SIOuU to Hail
Genius Of Hawthorne

Some of us know that great as Ma
thaniel Hawthorne was. 1t was not IN
til 1897 that through the persuasion Of
his friends he allowed himself to pub
lish some Of his stories in book form
under the title, 'grwice Told Tales, =
says DR.. Frank Fl. Vizetelly. The
tales were received coldly and proved
that their author could not live upon
his literary earnings. At Bowdoin he
wrote Seven Tales of My Native
Land" a manuscript which, after
many journeys to publishers, was con-
signed to the flames. After that he
wrote his first novel, "Fanshawe," pub
lished in 1928. but it received chilly re
ception. In 1925 he joined his mother
and sister at Salem, where the ladies
lived In seclusion.
Here Hawthorne led the life Of a
recluse, seeing little of the members
Of his family, having most Of his meals
served alone and rarely taking exer-
else save after dark. He wrote once
to friend: I'VE do not live at our
house." then announced his intention
Of taking up literature as a profession.
A second series Of Twice Told Tales"
and Moses From an Old Manse" OBJ
tanned small profit for their author,
who in 1851 complained that for many
years he was "the obscurest man Of
letters in America"
This was the author Of that immOr-
tai work, "The Scarlet Letter" which
he published in 1850, aud followed
with 'The House of the Seven Ga
bles," and "The Blythedale Romance"
three books that are universally ac-
knowledged ranking among the liter
airy masterpieces of the world.

Sweetser, star in his intercol-
lcgiate days at Yale and later Amer
lean amateur champion accomplished
the feat on the historic Muirrield
course this afternoon by defeating
Alexander Frederick Simpson, Scot
tish civil engineer, g. golfer too new
in championship tests to bear up
under the gruelling 36hole test of
the final round. The score was six
up and five to play. The triumph Of
the American star, last hope of the
visiting walker cup team after the
unexpected defeat of Bobby Jones
yesterday was comparatively easy. He
had Simpsons measure by the time
the IS hole morning round was COM
pleted Four down at the start of
the afternoon Simpson finally cracked
at the ninth, and Sweetser pressed
forward to clinch his triumph at the
thirteenth green.
The defeat of Simpson, while not
unexpected was a blow to hopes of
golf loving Britishers, who felt that
their Representative inslne final round
had acome through the event by too
easy route. Britons were the first
to concede Sweetser's deserved
triumph, showever--the result of con-
sistent play which became brilliant
at frequent periods and which stood
the test of several hard fought bat
ties in the early rounds, including a
sensational struggle with his own
teammate, Francis Ouimet.
The conclusion of the tournament
is a triumph for the young New
York banker, who had been reluctant
to interrupt his business career for
the invasion terminated what in many
respects was the most remarkable
British championship ever staged.
More than a score of Americans en-
tered, including all eight members
of the Walker cup team. 1t was the
best chance American ever had to
come through with long sought vic
tory, yet one after another of the
American contingent fell. With them
also fell the men on whom Great
Britain chiefly pinned her hopes, in
cIuding Robert Harris, Cyril, Tolley,
Major Hezlet, Sir Ernest Holderness,
Roger Werhered and others players
of international fame.
The only feature about winning
the championship that Sweetser did
not seem to enjoy was living up to
the British custom Of being hoisted
on the shoulders of frierds and ad-
mirers after his victory over Alex
ander Simpson of Edinburgh. The
crowd of enthusiastic Scots who
shouldered Sweetser on the last green
put him down after a few minutes,
