The Birrta of Our Connti'y.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.
