Statue of John Harvard

When Harvard university was two
years old, John Harvard, young
minister, gave 800 pounds and half
of a private library to the school.
In front of the administration
building at Harvard stands a huge
bronze statue of the benefactor, but
it is purely theological, as no one
knows what he looked like. Just
where his grave is also remains a
mystery. The original gravestone
in the Old Burying ground disap-
peared during the Revolutionary
war. He died September IA, 1888,
but the date on the obelisk, in 1923,
placed at random in the cemetery,
is September 26. The explanation.
says the Boston Globe, is that the
calendar was changed between 1888
ar d 1928. The computators that en-
graved the 1923 obelisk in Charles
town were two days off.

Il day." little Dorothy was
singing as she was prancing about
the dingy apartment. She'd stop to
roll up the sleeves that were con-
tinually slipping down over her
hands. No wonder they didn't stay
up, for the dress was one that Helen,
two years older, had outgrown.
Mother had meant to make it over,
but she was too tired when she got
home from cleaning house for other
people all day.
Hush up, Dorothy. Mother will
be coming in pretty soon, and she'll
cry if we say anything about Christ
mas" Helen reminded her.
II don't see why. Christmas is a
time to laugh, and not to cry" Dor
othy responded philosophically.
Don't you remember last Christ
mas, and how daddy didn't come
home with our packages?" Helen
couldn't believe that even so little a
sister as Dorothy should forget that.
For daddy had never been heard
from since that Christmas eve.
AS Dorothy started to reply, Hell
en- warned her: "Sh-, there comes
mother" and the youngsters were
silent when she entered. Mrs. Bond,

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
Creomulsion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take chance with any remedy
less potent than CreomulSion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to soothe and heal
the inflamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-

refund your money If you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. Creomulsion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (AdyO
