A 3 0OD RED LAKE
Peculiarity SInnlfested by a Sheet of
Water Iu Switzerland
Lake Morat in Switzerland has a
queer habit of turning red about two
or three times every ten years It is a
pretty lake like most of the sheets of
water in that picturesque country and
Its peculiar freak is attributed to a dis
position to celebrate the slaughter of
the Burgundians under Charles tlia
Bold on Juno 31 147G but the French
say that it blushes for the conduct of
the Swiss who In that battle gave the
Burgundians no quarter
This phenomenon of course has its
legend The old fishermen of the lake
who catch enormous fish called silures
that -weigh between twenty five and
forty kilograms say when they see the
waters of the lake reddening that it is
the blood at the Burgundians As a
matter of fact some of the bodies of
the Burgundians killed in the battle
were thrown into the lake -while others
were tossed into a grave filled with
quicklime This historical recollection
angered the Burgundlan soldiers of the
victorious armies of the republic in
1798 so much that they destroyed the
monument raised in honor of their
compatriots who fell heroically in that
battle and Henri Martin very justly
reproached them for that piece of van
dalism
It would hardly do to attribute the
reddening of the waters of the lake to
the blood of the soldiers of Charles the
Bold The coloring is due simply to
the presence In large quantities of little
aquatic plants called by naturalists Os
clllatoria rubescens The curious thing
about it is that Lake Morat is the only
lake in which this curious growth la
developed
PEPYS AND EVELYN
DlflexDcc In Method of These Two
Fiimmm UiurintM
Fepjs narrative is always dramatic
himself being the center of the play
while Evelyn Is historical pathetic or
didactic as the mood seizes him Pepys
gives us the comedy of his time as
Plautus and Terence gave us the com
edy of theirs Evelyn on the other
hand has something of LIvy in his
composition and not a little of Cicero
Compare for instance their treatment
of the great fire and you may measure
the distance between them Thus it Is
that Pepys account begins Some of
our maids sitting up late last night to
get things ready against our feast to
day Jane called us up about 3 In the
morning to tell us of a great fire they
saw in the city So I rose and slipped
on my nightgown and went to her win
dow And now turn to Evelyn and
see the temper in which he views the
destruction of the city The clouds
of smoke were dismal and reached up
on computation near fifty miles In
length he writes the day after the
fire Thus I left it this afternoon
burning a resemblance of Sodom or
the last day It forcibly called to my
mind that passage Xon enim hie ha
bemus stabilom civitatem the ruins
resembling the picture of Troy Lon
don was but it is no more
Pepys sets the scene before you like
a man Evelyn reflects upon the trage
dy like a writer ingenious in reference
and quick with allusion We need not
discuss which is the better method but
it may surely be said that the world
will produce another hundred Evelyns
before it fashions a fitting rival for
Pepys London Spectator
In Black Cat Town
Up and down in Black Cat Town
Children gaily prance
Here there every where
Merrily they dance
Jump run just for fun
Pull and haul and climb
Boy girl in a whirl
What a jolly time
Climbing trees and skinning knees
Never mind the pain
Ma wont scold if stockings hold
Up and try again
Fall bump awful lump
Clothing all awry
Blink blink then a wink
Whos a going to cry
Pony rig and whirligig
Hoop and top and kite
Dolly fair with golden hair
And eyes that shut up tight
In out twist about
Wiggle squirm and bob
Heel toe here we go
Just a playful mob
Autos toot then children scoot
Hurry clear the way
Thats the cry when whizzing by
Reckless choofers stray
Rush whirr what a stir
Chug a chug a chug
Stop boys hear the noise
From the sparking plug
Comes a cop the din to stop
Move on says he quite grim
Swift the feet fly down the street
For theyre afraid of him
Wait a bit Rest a bit
Take a breathing spell
Hush now make a vow
That youll never tell
Thus each day is passed away
In Black Cat Town Im told
Children there may jump and rare
For Black Cat Stockings hold
Turn turn see em come
Drum and horn and fife
Up and down in Black Cat Town
What a jolly life
Mothers dear just lend an ear
Stockings none to mend
Black Cat Brand the games withstand
When children tear and rend
Peep peep fast asleep
Stockings right in sight
Bless my soul not a hole

hess as for another to talk 5ut
when if come 5 to sacking up state
ment thats different it takes
knowinc how money and a good name
to get the best lines of goods into a
store it is a mistake to think that
any merchant can buy any lines of
goods he wants to buy the makers of
the best goods hunt for the best
store in a town to handle their lines
and when a manufacturer has once
placed his line in a store there it
stays this is where knowimg how
comes in then bills must be paid
that takes money then the store
must give its patrons fair treatment
good goods for their money
that begets a good name the store
that has these three things knowing
How money and a good name becomes
