While you're singing it in church or

the community Christmas service held
there. The words in the other three
verses are said to be spelled a little
differently but they sound just about
the same, as sung by the Eskimos.

The Only Cornet
By Elmo Scott Watson

The Only Iornet
MO, It's not a musical instrument.
" It's a commissioned army officer
and there's only one In the world to-
day. Whenever the chief of the mi
litia bureau Of the United States army
makes a report to the War depart
ment, tabulating the number of gen.
erals, colonies, majors, captains and
lieutenants, he writes down "Cornet:
l."
That one stands for Frederick Col
Ions Wheeler, cornet in the headquar-
tiers troop of the Fifty-second Cavalry
brigade, Pennsylvania National Guard,
otherwise First troop, Philadelphia City
cavalry.
The Philadelphia City cavalry was
organized back in 1774 and naturally
modelled its organization after British
army custom. AT that time the British
army had the rank of cornet, which was
equivalent to third lieutenant. When
congress passed the National Defense
act in 1892, establishing militia in the
different states, it allowed the various
military organizations in existence at
that time to keep their accustomed
privileges.
So the First troop retained the rank
of cornet while the British did away
with it many years ago. Thus it is the
only military organization in the world
which has a cornet. The troop is also
unique in this respect: it has guidon,
presented to it at the outbreak Of the
Revolution in ITS, with union Of 13
alternate blue and white stripes In the
upper left-hand corner, corresponding
to the blue field in the present Ameri-
can flag. This is believed to be the
first flag on which the IL colonies were
represented by 13 stripes.
On the guidon also appears silver
bands denoting the troops service in
war as follows: observation-disclosures,
Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown ;
Civil war: Gettysburg: Spanish-Amer-
ican-Porto Rico; World war-Cham-
payne, Oise-Aisne, Lorraine, Meuse-
Argonne, Ypres-Lys.

Compliment.

"COMPLIMENTS," wrote hard
boiled David Garrick, ARE loss
Of time"
An interesting word u "compli-
ment," which has literally been licked
into shape and meaning BY three Ian
guages.
Today compliment" Is used to
characterize an expression Of polite
ness, which, II We are wise. We will
inhale but not swallow.
Originally, We have "compliment"
from Latin "complimentum" in the
sense of accomplishment or fulfill
ment.
In the italian language, the word
in the form 'complimento" had by
the sixteenth century come to be
used especially to describe language
which fulfilled the requirements and
form Of courtesy.
BY the seventeenth century the
word, but slightly modified in form
and not at all in its acquired signifi-
canoe, had made its way into the
French language, from which We bor-
rowed 1t.

with me. It Is SO true that men have

The old definition Of genius as "the

across.

Of an adventure for Nanny at any
time. as 1t is for all members OF the
Mouse family. But this was q little
more of an adventure. You see.
Nanny had turned wanderer. She
had no home. And 1t was all because
she had become so lonesome since
Danny Meadow Mouse had disap-
peared that she just couldn't stand
1t any longer.
"I don't suppose I'll ever find him"
said Nanny, talking to herself. mo,
sir, don't suppose I'll ever fnd him.
However, even if don't, 1t will help

Now really there wasn't much OF
anything for Nanny TO do but wan

straight line and she didn't hurry.
Hurrying wouldn't do. No, sir, hurry
ing wouldn't do. She had to- be sure
of what she was doing and that she
was as safe as possible. People IN q
hurry never are sure Of such things.
So Nanny travelled sometimes by
day and sometimes by night. she
travelled slowly, stopping frequently
to eat and always doing her best to
have a hiding place handy. You
know 1t doesn't take very much to
hide q mouse. OF course, she had
many frights. Once Reddy Fox trot-
ted past so near that Nanny held her
breath. You may be sure that she kept
perfectly still. It was q very haro
thing to do, but she did it. The result
was that no blade Of grass rustled or
moved to catch Reddy's attention.
He had something else on his mind,
anyway, and had trotted right past
Nanny. What a long sigh OF relief
she gave when she knew the danger
was over.
Once as she sat under broad null
lin leaf, she happened to look up ana

mothers do, but each carries hers
about with her. It is large silk

about three-fourths of an inch wide.
