That “MeDougal” Cane,

Huston Cenrad is now the proud possessor of the McDougal cane which was bequeathed to him by his brother, the late John Conrad, who became heir to it at the death of his father. The cane is from a branch of the white oak tree where the leader of the McDougal band was hung when the Noble county vigilantes rounded them up on Diamond lake hill. The tree is gone and even the stump is no more, but the cane, crooked as a snake, is still “live as of old.”—Exchange.

The above from a Wawaka correspondent who has been misinformed as to the McDougal hanging. The McDougal band was not rounded up at Diamond Lake hill, McDougal was brought to Ligonier tried and sentenc ed by the regulators. Chris Heltzel drew the card to do the hanging. NcDougal was hauled to the place of execution in a wagon with his coffin ready for his person when hung. He was guarded by a body of Regulators on horseback, to the noted oak tree, where he was driven underneath a straight oak limb where Heltzel tied the rope around his neck in readiness for his execution. While standing up in the open wagon the wagon was driven from under him. In a few minutes he was pronounced dead.

There couldn’t have been a more orderly hanging. Horsemen surrounded the place of execution for fear of an attack by the many friends of the condemned madn. : As to the crooked cane of Conrad’s it could not have been cut from the limb of the oak as that limbh as hundreds will bear me out in the assertjon was without crooked limbs and the cane must have been taken from the nearby small growths of growing young timber. s That old oak tree left a deep impression on the older residents as the cry of ghosts where the hanging took place caused many a night traveler to change his route and even {hen ghosts were imagined to be rcam ing all around old Diamond Lake dressed to suit the occasion. G. W. Kinnison.

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA,

Old-Time “Horne” Book : Hard to Find Today ! Not a book in form, though one in ‘name, the “horne” books, says Mentor :Magazine, was made of a thin piece of iwood usually about four or five inches .long and two inches wide, with a sheet "ot paper placed upon one side. Printed ,on this at the top was the alphabet in large and small letters. Below were ,the simple syllables, such as ab, eb, ib, ob, ub and other vowel and con‘sonant combinations. Then foliowed the Lord’s prayer, never omitfed from any of the early textbooks. To the Colonists, avid for a religious life, the ‘appearance of this prayer was far ‘more important than any educational device whatsoever,

Over the whole printed page was a thin sheet of transparent yellowish horn. Both the paper and the horn were fastened to the board by a narrow strip of metal field down by little tacks, a simple and primitive process. Mrs.. Earle, that charming chronicler of Colonial times, tells of finding crosses at the two upper corncrs of ‘the page. Hence to tead a horn book was often called reading a “criss-cross row.” :

Today a horn book'is rare. The mystery is not in their absence so much '‘as in their complete disappearance. Surely in those days of large families there must have been a plenteou> supply of “those humble little instru:nents of Instruction.”

Da Vinci Had Vision : of Conquest of Air Artists and writers are com:moaly supposed to be impractical people, and yet we were reminded only the other day by a local colorist that Leonardo da Vinei wrote the first treatise on mechanical flight and demonsirated the principles of the parachute. Da ‘Vinei was a painter, sculptor apd military and civil enginéer. He was also ‘an architect, and drew the first technical design for imitation wings. In his device the flyer was to occupy a -horizontal position and work the flying strokes with his arms and feet by means of ropes passing over pulleys. The wings resembled those of the bat, and consisted of several parts which .flapped’ together in the upper stroke “and spread out on the down stroke. A i tail surface was provided betwecn the .parted legs. _ : ¢ Da Vinel planned this some time beFftween 1487 and 1499.—Washington Star.

Ladies Worried Lawmakers

~ About the time that women began to flutter their wings and, indeed, in 1806 they were wearing bellowed sleeves, the British parliament waxed indignant that ladies were invading without pregedent its sacred precincets. But a London paper at once reminded that “Ladies attended parliament in droves more than 200 years ago. The Lord Shaftesbury of the time, an austere personage, complaingd of these droves, and once the speaker caused shouts of laughter by suddenly declaring in the midst of a debate that he could espy petticoats. After this, ‘evidently not wishing to be seen so ‘much, the ladies came less often and sSometimes they came in disguise."— Detroit News. ,

Rose’s Age-Old Popularity

~ Song and legend of the Greeks, 'the Persiang and the Chinese testify that the rose was cultivated in earliest times. The rose is the national flow‘er of one great race, but it i 3 loved by all and is the monopgly of no one race or creed. At Athens 2,000 years ago the rose was crowned the queen of flowers. George Washington in his delightful gardens at Mount Vernon grew from seed a hybrid rose based on the native Rosa setigera and named it Mary Washington. By glving his permission for this to be grown and sold he thus started the good work of producing roses of American 'lineage. _

Leap Year Privilege

In London, in 1608, there appeared a book yclept, “Courtship, Love and Matrimony,” in which appeared the illuminating paragraph: “Albeit it has now become a part of the common lawe in regarde to social relations of life that as often as every bissextile year doth return the ladys have the sole privilege during the time it continueth of making love to the men, which they do either by words or by lookes, as to them it seemeth proper; and, moreover, no man shall be entitled to the benefit of clergy who dothe in any wise treate her proposal with slight or contumely.”

The Five Pauls

Here is a good example of what -fsequently happens in the polyglot Balkans. A man named Pavel, that .ils, Paul, ‘had five sons. One settled in Athens -and called himself Pavlo rpoulo, the Greek form of Paulson; "the second went to Belgrade and called ‘himself Paclovich; the third, in So ‘fia, called himself Pavloff; the fourth mdde his home in Bucharest under the iname Pavlescu, while the youngest set ‘up In business in Constantinople, as ;suming the Turkisb form of Pavloglu.

Rapidity on the Wire

Edison, by means of - whic® four telegraphic ‘messages’ may be sent and received Sslmultaneously over one wire, two in each direction, ‘ : Mr. and Mrs. Sol: Henoch who made a .nextended tour- of the eas: arrived in Ligonier Tuesday night.

“Fourth Estate” First -Applied to the Army , Carlyle credited Edmund Burke with -originating the expression “the Fourth fistate,” frequently applied to the inewspaper profession, but Dr. Frank fH. Vizetelly declares in Editor and rPublisher that the phrase is much ,older, having originated with Lord !Falkland in the days when Richard !was lord protector of England. Rich‘ard had consented to the appointment -.'ot a general council of dfficers to ald :in the government. Parliament and ‘the army were opposed to each other, ;trFive hundred officers assembled and ,attempted to remove command of the i%army from civil power. In parliatment, Lord Falkland, who foresaw ithe threatening danger, said: “You “have been a long time talking of ‘the three estates. «There is a fourth, iwhich if not well looked to will turn ,us all out of doors.” The application there made it not to the press but to :tlge army. > The phrase has been used at varlfous times to distinguish the arniy, the laboring classes, and the press as dis‘tinguished from the church, and the ‘lords and commons.—Detroit News,

Balfour’s Moments of ’ - 4 Uncalled-for Ansiety » A good story ugainst himself was ‘told by Earl Balfour, , During the time when he was prime -minister he was asked to play golf on .some links on a Sunday. This vwas before golf became a recognized Sunday .game, and he objected that it would do him no good if the fact of his ‘playing became known. He allowed himself to be perzuaded, thowever, and was just beginning to ,enjoy the game, when to his,annoy.ance and anxiety a couple of Speéc‘tators appeared on the scene, watchJ{@ig him intently. . His anxiety soon vanished, however, .when he overheard a brief snatch of _conversation between the two. ' . “Who's the chap there in the check ‘suit?” asked one. i “T don’t know who he is,” replied -the other, “but he can’t play golf."— i Boston Globe, :
