"Shieling of My Sorrow"
Typical Highland Legend

The following legend is associat-
ed with Aueda No Dhubhach, the
sloping ground lying to the east of
Loeb Drom, on the way from Carve
to Ullapool, in the highlands of
Scotland. Three young men from
Strathmore were returning home
from the low country where they
had been working all summer and
autumn. They reached Loeb Drom
in the evening, and as the night
was stormy, they decided to stay
in a Smelling that was near. One
of the men. was a piper, and had
his pipes with him, and to pass the
time away he struck up q tune on
the pipes, while his two cOmpan-
ions danced to the music. One of
the lads said it would be fine If
they had some lassies to dance
with. He had hardly spoken when
three women entered the Smelling.
and Joined the dancing. The dane
ing and playing went on for a long
time, and at last the two men sat
down on the seat, and the women
seated themselves beside them.
The piper, feeling all was not
right, looked at his two compan-
ions, and was Mortified to see them
dead. Slipping out. leaving his
plaid with the women, he ran for
his life as fast as he could. The
women followed, and continued to
pursue the poor, exhausted piper
until dawn, when he came in sight
of Fasgrianach, and escaped from
his evil pursuers. When the moth
ers of the dead men arrived at the
Smelling the next day they bewailed
their loss, repeating the words
"Aueda No misunderstanding
of my orrow."-Montreal Family

Golf, in Its Infancy,
Looked On as Puerile

It is rather curious, in view of
the extraordinary vogue of golf in
this country, to reflect that the
few American and English visitors
to st. Andrews in the COS and 7Os
were simply dumbfOunded at the
sight Of grown men hitting little
white balls and playing game
with extraordinary gravity.
These visitors would have viewed
with plying contempt any prophet
who had told them that the
United States and England would
soon be spending millions on golf
and that more adults would be
playing it than had ever played
any game since the first one was
invented. Even at the beginning of
this century, when golf was the
game of the rich man, few could
ever have believed that the golf
links at st. Andrews were to- make
the old town one of the best known
places in the world.-Exchange.

Brickwork in Rome

The grandeur that was Rome
rested in large measure upon
foundations of bricks, as the trav-

baths of Diocletian, where the
marble facing has long since dis

stands strong and sturdy after the
lapse Of nearly twenty centuries.
The Romans practiced an ancient
art when they made bricks, yet it
was one destined to he forgotten
or nearly forgotten in Europe dur

there was a revival. Again bricks
were fashioned in manner to

This Is Time To Buy Weed Poison

"A. Z. Army, agronomist at the
Minnesota Agricultural Expert
ment Station, University Farm St.
Paul, is sending out a notice to the
farmers of Minnesota that this is
the time Of year to arrange for
supplies of sodium chlorate to be
used in weed eradication during
the coming spring and summer.
Mr.. Army urges farmers to talk the
matter over with their neighbors
and place their orders before
prices go up as they did last sum
mer when the demand for the
chemical was greatest.
One hundred forty tous of the
chemical were used in Minnesota
for weed eradication in 1929 and
the results were satisfactory. No
serious accidents occurred. Sodium
chlorate can be stored with safety
on farms. Mr.. Army urges farmers
to purchase the chemical only in
the original steel drums, to store
these drums in a dry place, keep
ing the covers on tight at all times,
and in making use of the chemical
to take the unopened drums to the
field, remove the amount Of the
chemical needed, replace the cover,

Training Pedapopues

The first genuine effort for the
professional training of teachers
undertaken in the world was un-
doubtedly by Jean Baptiste de La
Sale at Rheims in 1851. AT the
beginning of the Nineteenth cen
fury the development of institu-
tons to train teachers took on a
new life and the Prussian system
of normal schools was firmly es-
tablished. Six normal schools had
been organized in that country. 1t

ject of preparing teachers for pub
lie schools began to receive atten-

TEXAS WAS TRAINING
FIELD FOR OFFICERS

One of the training fields, and per-
haps the most important one for our
American officers in the early part of
the nineteenth century was the then
frontier state of Texas. The border
was guarded by chain of United
States forts, and of these former
strongholds little now remains except
tradition. In an interesting story on
the early Texas Notifications Mrs.
Carrie j. Crouch says in the current
issue of the National Republic, under
the title "Outposts of Departed
Glory"
"The old bugle call, in reville, that
rang over the sandy parade grounds
in Texas seventy-nine years ago
awakened civilization. The old from
tier posts that were dotted from the
Red River to the Rio Grande, were
the harbingers of progress. Old Glory
rose each morning to wave welcome.

pletely buried his story, leaving only
speculation. Western youngsters still

and tell stories of haunted places, and

flag poles to find the cache of gold and
whiskey supposed to be buried at its
base.

Fort Belknap, but freighters, trappers
and traders are the citizens remem-
bered. Gamblers made stop-overs on
the Butterfeld to reimburse them
selves by poker and monte games.
One of the famous characters, who
lived from fort to fort, was Mark
Raiper and around him are woven the
usual tales of the gentleman gambler.
Stories are told of his piles of gold, of
his gold craftsmanship, his stalking
broken opponents, and his advice to
young gamblers. 1t may have been
this virtue that had it's reward, for
Mark Raiper lived to be 103 years old

And toward Old Glory trekked
humanity with new inspirations and
new hopes.
"The western frontier of Texas was
ever elastic in its dimensions. Before
the Civil War it extended far; during
the war it drew back hundreds of
miles; when reconstruction days were
over, it again stretched it's line. There
was never a properly authenticated
record as to date or boundary. But
from the time that Texas went into
the Union, down through the '70s, the
United States government maintained
on that fringe of settlement military
forts, the most distant outposts of the
white man, represented the frontier
the boundary line of emigration.
Gust so far as the forts went, just
so far would the settlers dare to go.
To the north and northwest of the
army stations was the undisputed

now a great center of state industry,

"There was little dissimilarity in
the Gordon of garrisons established by
the government. Each was laid out
as a two or four-company post, with
the usual commissary, hospital, ma
gazine, officers quarters and barracks,
the latter sometimes arranged in
stockade fashion. But each had his
tory of its own. Men who were a

their fighting spurs on the frontier of
Texas. Young officers, who later be-
came generals, travelled over faint
military roads which subsequently led
