Even to day, when airplanes and wireless play a conspicuous role, carrier pigeons play their part as well. ! Filers can be shot down, and wireless messages might be taken up by enemy , operators. The pigeon, In many eases. Is the safest carrier, for seldom the bird Is shot down. As a rule four or five pigeons are sent off with the same message, to make sure that at least one will reach Its destination. Curiosity of Language. The Greek word for iron, shleros, is the same ns Latin for star, now called sun. But how did this happen? The good Greeks centuries B. C. had no spectroscopes and were not aware that iron exists in a billion suns. This curiosity of language was noticed by linguists once spectroscopists proved that iron is seen in every direction in the sideral (iron) universe. 1 Democrat Want Ads Pay

TETE EVERETT IN THE ARMY Tete Everett, a well known yotng mutt from this county who enlisted in the artny at the Fort Wayne station July 4th and was assigned to company D, 4th Pennsylvania infantry and Is now at Gettysburg, Pa., writes home that he is getting along fine. He says the following song is a favorrlte in his camp: "CAN THE KAISER" JT Jf* • A villian of the deepest dye Is crazy Kaiser Bill Who started out to rule this world According to his will. To stop this Moody tyrant We are on our way to fight. We Yankee Boys are ready To do just what is right. Chorus And well can the Kaiser can the Kaiser, Can old Kaiser Bill. We're on our way to Germany To can old Kaiser Bill. Oh, Yankee Boys, Oh Boye Show him what we can do With shot and shell we'll give him hell We'll stop him when we get through. We soldier hoys have landed On the home soil of the French, To help defeat the Kaiser In the air or in the trench. Wf've left our home in Yankee Land, Across the ocean blue To can old Bill in Germany, We'll sho wwhat we can do. We'll carry the Flag to Berlin To show old Kaiser Bill That he can't rule this forld of ours And never, never will. When we get there we'll sing and dance. And have a merry time. For Bill would never have a chance To rule you. me or mine. o Richard, the Hunchback. Os all the kings of England, perhaps Richard, the hunchback, has the most sinister reputation, his only rival being tlie crafty John, lie died on Boswortb field, fighting for the crown he had gained by murder. It is a matter of history as well as of Shakespeare —not always the same thing—that the tide of success turned against Richard when Lord Stanley took himself and his men from his side to that of Richmond. When hard pressed, Richard cried: "I am king of England! I will not budge an inch.” Then, being overwhelmed, he died, crying, ‘Treason! Treason!" Didn’t Forget His Manners. Bobbie had been told often that if he stumbled over or in front of an older person to say "Excuse me." One morning he fell downstairs, landing in a little huddled up heap. His mother, expecting an outburst, was surprised to see him manfully pick himself up and say “ 'Scuse me." The Inner Meaning. Remember that as you live your life each day with an uplifted purpose and unselfish desire, each and every event will bear for you a deep significance—nn inner meaning—and ns you learn their import, so do you fit yourself for higher work. —William Q.
