"Those were threat days when nations started .making inquiries about the enemy's land after hostilities had been declared.

In the early ages of the Christian era th fathers of the church - fulllely. protested against the use of wigs. Egyptians. .

It was unsafe for Khgllsh children to walk out alone tn ln!5, leet they should be robled of their hair for wigmakers. . , During the latter, part of . the reign of Ixiuis XIV of France., to wear one's hair or . a small wig was almost an offense against good morals. From childhood Louis XV, French mon arch, used powder upon his wig, and made it completely white, which custom was imi tated by his courtiers. The practice, con tinued until the Reign of' Terror, when wjgs and powder disappeared together from France. "Who cap kiven a aenteaca uxlng the word pendulum,?" asked the teacher.

Mas., a mall vil lage, used to boast, until recently. It bad not witnessed a marriage during th life of th preeent generation. So, according to the Boston Poet, when Mis Laura K. Srhutt and the Rev. Milton Whittler were wedded the other day every Inhabitant of the town turned out to attend the wed ding. The romance of the young clergy man and the farmer's daughter unk deep into the hearts of all th folk in the neigh boring town. It wa only a little over a year ago that Mr Wbittler was graduated from the Tale Theological school, came to the tiny village of Mount Washington to begin hi career in the humble little Congregational church. The church, although It Is a good many mile from moat of th farms of Mount Washington, la regularly attended by prac tically everyone in the township. The roads are up hill and down and so steep that it takes a good hors to carry th church-goers'to their destination. Miss Schutt was not daunted by all these obstacles. It was always her habit to at tend church regularly, hut when the Rev. Mr. Whittler came to the town and took the position of pastor of the church for a season Miss chutt attended th church, so 'tis raid, with an added zest. Soon the young minister began to notice the deliberation and attention with which bis words were weighed. He began to notic her from the pulpit. Frequently War on Word from Kansas is to th effect that t)i rtern part of that state is likely to again witness an army of men, women and children beating back a cloud of grass hoppers. Farmer are writing to Topeka maaing Inquiry about the old "warning out" law, passed by th legislature of UOT, and which is still in force. The letter to Governor Btubbs and other tat officer are from district in which th grasshopper hav don much damage this, summer, and It I proposed. If th law' 1 still in fore, to evoke It and ex terminate. If possible, the army of grass hopper that ha now moved Into western Kansas from Colorado. Th legislature of 1877 realised that reme dies should b employed In fighting thl pest, and It provided In th law that aay township trustee of board of county com missioner may "warn out" all the people of a township or county to beat back the Invasion of the hoppers. The township trustees - or th county commlsaionors are to (elect th weapon to be used in carry. Ing on th flrht, and every person from IS to SO year of as must appear and tak part tn th campaign under penalty of a fine. The law provide for the use of wood. Iron, rope or any other material, but prohibits the us of firearm. In th old days, when this law wa In. voked against the swarm of grasshoppers which appeared in western Kansas, th womes and children rendered valiant serv ice. They went forth with flail and brooms and all manner of swab, with which thy mot the pest. Strip of tar were spread This is fhe Day We (elebraie August 18, 1911.

At first th girl' eyes dropped at his earnest gaze. - Mr. Whittler went to the Schutt house and traveled many a toilsome mile in order that h might see the young woman who had so attracted him In the church. Be fore the summer waa over It was rumored that they were engaged, and It was very little time after th rumor started that the entire population ot Mount Washington were apprised of It. During the long winter season which followed Mr. Whittler mad at least on trip 'west to th Berkshire town and ar rangement were made for th wedding, (treat arrangement they wer. too. Every person in town wa Invited. It was also necessary to ask a good many outsiders, for th church would seem almost empty with only th thirteen voters of th town together with their families In the high backed pew. 80 guests wer haled from Oreat Bar rington and Springfield and many ether place, and every preparation waa made to make the first wedding In fifty years a striking occasion. Everyone In the township accepted the Invitation and offered any assistance they might be able to give In preparing th church. The Fchutt home was used as headquar ter for these preparations, a there wa no other suitable place available. It was a pretty sight when all the vil lager entered th church on th wedding morn and th unusual ceremony was per formed. "Hoppers" over the prairie grass along th roadways, and when th hopper got their long legs tangled In It, the tar wa fired and mil lions wei killed. Many fields of growing grain were thus saved from, the ravages of the pest by the application of the "warning out" law.
