Richard Liv ingston, a student of American his tory, asked recently. “I know that years ago there was a fine bronze bust of an Indian, a'nd the * name Tecumseh was on the pedestal, and as Tecumseh was about the most famous Indian chief of our school his tory books every American boy took more interest in surveying his fea tures than in looking over the faces of eminent white men in the big build ing. I walked -all over the building and saw Indians enough in paintings f and statuary, also some live ones, but no Tecumseh. Then Z hunted up my congressman, and be went through a guidebook—no use. Then we ques tioned the guides. They had not heard of a Tecumseh bust, and most ! of them asked, ‘What state was the senator from?’ “I was about to give it up. Then a somber sort of chap with a silk bat and a red flower in his buttonhole re lieved my anxiety. He explained what I had not thought of before, and that was the fact that Tecumseh was killed in battle wearing the uniform of a British general. He died fight ing the American flag. Why should he be honored with a bust in tho cap ltol? “And then Z was told that the Te cumseh bust really had been in the capltol for many years until one day a wise senator, familiar with the history of bis country, made a protest. That sent the Tecumseh bust to the cellar or to some museum here in town.*’— Washington Post The Bull of Phalaris. Perlllus of Athens is said by the an cient authorities to have invented for Phalaris. tyrant of Agrlgentum, B. C. 570, a brazen bull which opened on the side to admit victims who were to be roasted to death by the fire which was built underneath. The dying groans of the sufferers closely resem bled the “roaring of a maddened bull;’’ hence the name that was given to the invention. It is refreshing to know that later on the populace rose against Phalaris and burned the tyrant in the bull that he bad made to be the cause of death to so many others.—New York American. A Roundabout Rivor. The Kentucky river at Jackson is a freak. It runs for five miles or more to advance sixty feet The circuit of the water forms what is known as the “panhandle.’’ Standing on the back bone you can flip a stone into the river on the north side and one into the river on the south side, five miles below. You are on the north side of the river and on the south side of the river and going up the river and down the river at the same time.—Winchester News. Hsr Status. "Are you a friend of the groom’s family?” asked the usher at the church wedding. “I think not,” replied the lady ad dressed, Tm the mother of t&e ! bride.”—Yonkers Statesman.
