The first inhabitants of thi.s earth were Adam and Eve , but my oration tion will be in the time after the discovery of America b.v Colum bus in the year 1492 ; he believed the earth to be round. 'After Col umbus found the way many more were soon to follow , including the Cabots ; Ponce de Leon , who dis covered Florida : Balboa , discov ered the Pacific ocean and De Seta who discovered the father of the rivers. Up to. the year of 1GOO only a few white people had set tled in the United States. A few Spaniards had settled in St. Aug ustine , Florida , and in Santa Fe. Over all the rest of the country , embracing nearly 3,000,000 square miles , the Indians ruled supreme. In the year 1607 Virginia was settled by the English under Capt. Jbhn Smith , and during this time negro slavery was introduced , which in later years nearly de stroyed our country. New York in , Next came 161-i , + r settled by .Capt. Henry Hudson , then in the employ of Holland , and during this time we had I tie first introduction of v itiskey which bfts so muv.j .sorrow and arid trouble since. And then in 1617 came New Jersey , and then Massachusetts in 1620 and the pco- pie who settled this colonly came joverherein the Mayflower and landed on a cold windy day. Dur ing the first winter here half ol them froze or starved to death , but they were brave people and did not give up and the next year the had comfortable homes huilt and by November had all their crops gathered and the next day they gave a feast and gave thanks to God. Ever since it has bee'n a national holiday and known as Thanksgiving. Up to the year 1733 only thirteen colonies had been settled in America and they were all under the rule of Great Britiau. i In Europe , the French and Eng- lish had long been enemies and the desire of each other to get po - j session of America did not make i them any better friends. In 16S9 war broke out between the rival icolonists , and with intervals of j peace this contest lasted over 70 years. The English ac last gained the victory and ruled supreme ov er America. But now England 'considered ' us to be just as a piece , of clay which she could mold in j any shape she wished. But she found out that we were to be free and independent. And during the great revolutionary war she found out to her sorrow , that in stead of the thirteen British col onies of England we were to be the thirteen free and independent colonies of America , which is now called tlie United States , although we own many other possession * . It used to be that England boasted that the sun never set on her pos sessions , but it is also our boast now. \Vashington was rightly named the father of our country , but Lin coln was . still more rightly named w. the savior of our cpuntry. For , had it not been for him during the civil war when the north and south were fighting over slavery , we wouldn't have been what we are today , lhe U. S. under one gov ernment and one president , where each one of us are created free and equal and have the same rights and privileges and equal protec tion by law. Our country is now one of the most highly civilized and progressive in the world. Christian religion , prevails and the government is republican at present with President Roosevelt at its head.

DAVID HANNA , ) * W. A. PARKER./-Com. A. J. WILSON. ) The War Department of the United States believes and has of ficially stated that Uncle Sam's soldiers should be permitted to have beer in their canteens. They state it will curtail the sale of ard ent spirits to the soldiers , thereby reducing drunkenness to a" mini mum and preventing desertions. This governmental recognition of beer as a temperance drink is widely understood. The most de licious beer on the market today is Storz Blue Ribbon ; its presence in the home means true temper ance to the whole family. Get your property insured by 1. M. Rice and you will be safe.

A friend of mine. , writes a Scottish correspondent , recently saw a piece of paper lying on the street. IJe picked it up. It vrsis a one pound note. SOUK men might have pocketed it. with a Bmile of satisfaction. My friend , how ever , honestly handed it over' to the police. A short time afterward he dis covered that he himself had lost a pound. lie thought over the matter and remembered that before Gilding the note he had been standing on the edge Of tin ? pavement for some time. It slowly dawned upon him that the pound ho had found was his own and that lit1 had drawn it from his pocket unconsciously , lie went back prompt ly to the polio.1 station and explained the circumstance' . The ofiicer in charge only shook his head and smiled In credulously. "Very clover. " he said , "but oh it will scarcely do. " If my friend cared to call back at the'cnd of six months , ho was informed , ho would get the pound if in the interval it had not been claijucd. During this time of waiting he is inclined to meditate as to whether honesty is always the best policy. London P. T. O. I In Case of Accident. I 'Don't bluster. Be tactful. If there are clangorous germs present , ask them to withdraw. If they demur , ask them where they wore brought up with gen tle irony. Be careful to rendc'r first aid to the Injured. A great deal of unnecessary suffering has boon caused by persons ! hastily rendering third or even fourth aid whore first aid was indicated. In case of drowning select a best method of resuscitation. There are 4.G39 best methods in all. Have them ' about you in the form of loose news paper clippings and run them over ; briefly before acting. j Keep cool. Stop every little while and take your temperature. If the coroner arrives while you arc at work , immediately desist. It is dis- j courteous to save life in his presence. I Take accurate notes of the street and number. Ileviving patients almost al ways ask where they are. If possible , induce death to supervene - veno rather than to take place merely or even to ensue. It gives the family a sense of dignity. Puck. The Frank Critic. "When Sir John Millais was engaged in painting his 'Chill October' among the rushes on the banks of the Tay , i near Perth. " said an English artist , "a railway porter from the station at Kin- fauns used to carry the canvas back and forth for him. "The porter was a quaint chap. His son-ices wore called for many days in requisition. He became quite friendly with Sir John and scorned to take a ' hearty interest in the progress of the 'painting. i "Well. 'Chill October' was eventually ' finished and sold a little while afterward - . ward for a thousand pounds. This fact somehow reached the porter's cars. Hemet mot Sir John's brother-in-law at Kin- fauns one day and said excitedly : " 'Mon. is't-true that Sir John's sold t'picture and got a thoosand poond for't ? " " 'Yes. certainly. ' was the reply. " ' I * the 'A thoosand poond repeated porter. 'Why. nion , I wadna gi'en half ' ' " a croon for't. Rotundity of Earth. Wo are assured by competent au thority that Thales of Miletus taught that the qartli was of a globular form so early as (540 B. C. Pythagoras dem onstrated from the varying altitudes of the stars that the earth must be round. Aristarchus of Samos main tained that the earth turned on its own axis and revolved about the sun , which doctrine was held by his con temporaries as so absurd and revolting that the philosopher nearly lost his life B. C. 280. The wisdom of the an cients was , of course , lost sight of in the darkness of the "middle ages , " and It took Galilei and Copernicus to re store the old knowledge to the world. New York American. Murder In Germany. Germany distinguishes between twc kinds of murder one. premeditated and intentional , is punishable by death ; the second , intentional homicide with out deliberation , is punishable by penal servitude for from five to fifteen years. Dueling in Germany is a misdeuieano of a special kind. Who kills his oppo nent in a duel is not charged with murder or manslaughter , but with dueling , the punishment for which is detention in a fortress for fifteen years. London Chronicle.
