Origin of Present-Day Games. - Though we get our games of tennis from the easterm countries, most of pur games of bat and-ball come down to us from the ancient north. Ring games and games in which light ob- Jects are thrown come also from for- est countries, where the spear was a familiar weapon. But all of them alike appear to revert in origin to early experiences of the race by which. they worked out their salvation. Thing That Must Be Preserved.

Allen of Los Angeles; ly.rst - kuowledge of Shelby was flurlng the. war 'and was down in the Houthern. portion of Missouri. Shelby was in command of a force of Coufed- erate soldiers. who were galloping over the country and making it very hot for any small bodies of ' Kederals they overtook. A Union regiment, in which 1 was ‘an officer, was very short of provisions one day. I decided to ride on ahead of the command and see if | might possibly Gnd something to eat. 1 was accompanied by: our body serv- ant, a faithful negro. . ho on that trip rode my horse. That horse was the pride of my heart. We were both very tired, and I soon nodded my head and dozed as I.was riding. and while | was thus oblivious of my sur- roundings ‘the hegro went on ,ahead a shert distance. Without warnlng we rode directly into a strong force of Confederate cavalry. commanded by Shelby. | was aroused from my doze by the commands to the negro to halt. “I cast one hurried glance in front, saw the Confederates in force, wheel- ed my horse and fled up the road at the best gait possible and with enough bullets whistling around me to load a small wagon. It was a race that was run in earnest.. The stake was human liberty, and you bet I gave that horse all the encouragement | 'knew how and finally was able to get back to a place of safety, But that horse! He was a fine fellow,-and I lost him and the negro. Since the war | learned that after the capture the horse be- came the property of General Shelby and was ridden by hin for many months during the hardest service he saw.”"—Kansas City Journal. An [noident of ti The- pickets of the Second Massa- chusetts and Third Wisconsin made ar- rangements with ' the ‘*rebs’” one hot nftemoon to cease hostilities for two hours, Things, for more thau an hour, when a young officer appeared ou the Confederate line and ordered the men to &o to firlng. “We can't do it sir.” said the Ser-: geant. “We have agreed with the Yan- kees to quit shooting for two hours. The time is only half up.” “Sergeant. order the picket to begin firing at once.” i * ] "can't break my ‘word with the Yankees, sir.” “Then I will man of you.” Not a man touched his gun or start- ed for the pits. The young officer seized a gun and shot at the Union picketd. That was the signal for our line to open fire. The balance of that day the Confed- erate pickets In front of those two regiments didn’t shoot to kill. Those who didn’t shoot in the air separated the chunk of lead from their cartridges —blanked them. That night a dozen or more of the pickets ‘left their pits and crept into the Union lines. giving as their excuse the conduct of the young officer. Their haversacks were filled the next morn- Ing by.the Massachusetts and Wiscon- sin boys-as they started on their jour- ney north.—Chicago Times-Herald. Begin liring. every lehnnen.

How One Darky Learned All the Facts With Safety. “Negroes generally have funny an- swers for almost every question.” said L. W. Mitchell of Atlanta to a group of comrades at Camp Roosevelt. “You have heard perhaps of the fellow who was visiting at the scene of the battle of Antietam and met an old woolly head African. who took pleasure in ex- plaining to the visitor all ‘facks' about the engagement there. The negro was asked if he was:present when the fight took place, and bis answer was: “‘Sartinly, sah: sure, | wuz right hearh.’ *“‘Guess you saw the whole thing? *“*'Deed | did. sah, an’ it wuz right bilious times. sah.’ * ‘What position did you occupy? “‘l wuz down in de cellar. sah. 1 got down dar to keep out de way of de Yankees, case I knowed dat | would be 'bleeged ter whoop fer dem, an' I knowed dat Marse Bob Lee didn’t spec dat of me, so 1 jis' get down in de cel- lar an’ let 'em fit it out.’ ” Miles of Telephone Wires.

Do sayages scratch their. heads? All puzzled or bewildered Europeans scratch * their, heads—the German slowly, the Frenchman jerkily, the Italian nervously, the Englishman vig- orously.

The Story of a Wonderful Watch Fifty years only, - separate the clumsy, “inaccurate old time-keeper from that marvel of pocket mechanism —the Bemidji Special. In those days it took one man a year to build a watch. -Today 12,000 are turned out every twenty-four hours in the United States—over 4,000.000 a year. While - you are reading this statement more than:25 complete watches were manu- factured. The Bemidji Special is no more like the watch of fifty years ago than the modern harvesting machine is like the old fashioned hand scythe. AROUND THE WORLD ON A DROP OF OIL Did you ever stop and think what a wonderful piece of mechanism a good watch like the Bemidji Special is? Take the hairspring for instance. One mile of this wire weighs less than half apound. The balance wheel makes 18,000 vibrations an hour—157,000,- 000 a year. It moves 3,558 miles a year on less than one-tenth of a drop of oil. If a locomotive, having six foot driv- ing wheels, were started at the equator, and should run uatil its wheels had performed the same num- ber of revolutions that a balance wheel does in one year, it would make more than twenty-eight complete circuits of the earth. The Bemidji Special is adjusted to every change and condition. Baked in an oven, frozen in a refrigerator, adjusted to position, put through a 700 hour test for accuracy, can you wonder why this wonderful watch is The Standard of this community today.

PATRICK & CO Manafactarers, DULUTH A Woid o »The Storekeeper" The manufacture who tries to help ‘you sell his goods after he has induced you to stock up on his line deserves your hearty co-operation. But it is up to you to decide whether the manufacturer is actually helping you, or whether he only thinks he is. If he is creating a desire for his product without creating an actual de- mand on your store, for it, his help is of little value to you. The one big-advantage of newspaper advertising is that it creates not only desire, but actugl mand. Mostother mediums stop at desire. The best kind of advertising that a manufacturer can do - for your benefit is local ' newspaper advertising. Tell his salesmen s0 next time they come around. Show them that you know by experience the value of newspaper advertising, and that you want all the branded' goods you handled advertised | in a way.that will bring-customers to g yumsmmnakfwthem.
