Many Republics Before
That of United States

Probably the first government
which can be considered republican
In form was the ancient Israelitish
commonwealth or republic, which
lasted from about 1491 B. G. to
1895 B. g. About three centuries
after this the Greek states, of which
Athens was chief, set up what grad
ually came to be democratic repub-
lies. Ancient Carthage and Rome
were for a short period republics.
During the Middle ages many of
the free cities Of Italy and Germany
set up republics. San Marine in
Italy Is now the oldest existing re-
public, while Switzerland has ex-
listed as republic since 1921. Ac-
cording to an article In the Ameri-
can Cyclopedia, the degree Of popu-
lar sovereignty in republics has
varied very widely in the past,
most Of the so-called republics hav-
ing been ruled by an aristocracy
which jealousy guarded its own
rights but treated the multitude as
little better than slaves. "Real re-
publican government may be said
to date from the American Declara-
ton of Independence, and even in
the United States the government
was largely one of class until about
the second quarter of the Nine
teenth century, when suffrage bar
riers began to break down."

Mennonite Colony in
America in Year 1862

Mennonites first appeared In
America about 1862, when a band
Of "a, led by PETER Cornelius Flock
hoy, organized a settlement, but it
was not until a century later that
the cult became firmly estab-
lished.
The settlement, which was one Of
the earliest plans for the occupa-
ton Of the Delaware by any of the
European sectarians, did not last.
Plockhoy, with his "A followers,
made q contract with the Burg0-
meisters and Regents Of Amster-
dam, for the foundation Of colony
Gin any part Of the district of this
Colonie wherever it may please to
lie, as they shall be willing to cul-
uvate and pasture"
After adopting various rules and
regulations, the colony was broken
up by the English under Sir Rob
ert Carr in 1864, and nothing what
ever Is known of the fate Of men,
bers Of the colony. It Is stated that
Plockhoy, the leader, and his wife,
arrived at Germantown In 1894,
after having wandered in the will
derness for 80 years, and were
given a home by the Mennonites at
that place.

Buttons in Early Times
Looked On as q Luxury

BY the "History Of English
Dress" the button is traced to 1850.
1t was commonly worn in the time
of Edward I, and figures in a poem
that dates from about this time and
certainly not later than 1890. This
refers to a robe, the sleeves of
which were decorated with blue
buttons from the elbow to the hand.
When points and laces were intro
duced in the Fifteenth century,
buttons fell out of favor, but re-
turned as a luxury in the follow
ing century, and were so highly ap-
.preciated as to be bequeathed in
wills. A testator In will dated
1873 left to one John Woodzyle.
"my doublet Of fruite-canvas, and
my hose with frieze breaches. Also,
unto Strowde, my frieze jerkin with
silk buttons. Also, to Symonde
'Bisshoppe, the smith, my other
frieze jerkin with stone buttons"
Gascoigne sang Of "a bonnet but
toned with gold."-Kansas City
Times.

Modern "Weary Willies"
Quite Fussy individuals

One hot day a wandering labor
err in q fuzzy cap and ragged
clothes asked at the Andrews farm
near Spender for food without men,
tioning work. AS it was just din
ner time the Andrews invited him
in for the meal.
He looked at his chair at the Ia
BILE for some time, and Mr.. Andrews,
thinking he was difident, urged him
to sit down and make himself at
home. He took out q cloth and
busted the chair first!
When night fell the stranger
wanted to sleep in the house, but
he had acted so peculiarly that Mrs.
Andrews told him if he wished to
spend the night there he must
sleep in the wood bin. He took out
all the wood, swept the place and
put in cot bed from the house.
81 want two clean Sheets" he de-
manded belligerently, and then
went on to call for a rug to step
on in the morning, and chair to
place by his bedside, and mirror.
At dinner he had eaten eleven
plates Of a meat soup and five
dishes of chocolate blanc mango. In
the morning he wanted a button to
match those on his coat and he
obtained it. Then he offered to saw
a little wood.
= "He sawed about ten little sticks
in a lackadaisical manner" related
Mrs. Andrews, "and then said he
would have to go. 4 think so cents
would be about right for what you
owe me-" he asserted" New York

How Term "Thirty" Came
to Svmbolize an Ending

Charles Payne Smith gave the
following information In the Typo
graphical Journal regarding the
origin Of "30" as used by news
paper men and telegraphers: "The
first press association organized In
Civil war times was composed
largely Of morning papers pub
lished near the eastern seaboard.
Each paper sent into the central
Office items of local interest, which
were there edited and telegraphed
to all members. It happened that
the first message sent to the ASSOC
citation totaled 80 words and this
figure, with the words Good night
and the signature of the sender,
was placed on the bottom Of the
sheet by the operator. At that time
piecework was the rule on all pa
pers. The daily grist was usually
set up, corrected and in the form
by ten o'clock, but the compositors
were compelled to wait around at
their own expense until the fore
man announced that 800 was in. So
go became a byword among print
ers, symbolizing the end"
