L.CRIGIN OF CITATION CORD French Tradition Say It Was Con- ferred for Bravery Under Ex. ceptional Circumstances, According to French tradition, the citation cord originated .centuries ago, when the soldiers of a certain com- pany that had mutinied were to be hanged. Before the sentence could be carried out, the French were attacked. and the condemned men were called on to ajd in the defense. They went into action, so to speak, with halters around their pecks; but they fought with such supreme bravery that they were pardoned, and thereafter each man was permitted to wear as a badge of honor, and as a token of suffering and heroism, a knotted cord round his shoulder. The origin of the citation cord can be explained in a more logical way if one examines ancient pictures, which show that shoulder cords can be traced back to simpler conditions until they appear merely as metal- tipped laces to bear the weight of certain pieces of armor. Such laces appeared in pairs on both shoulders; they have survived in the aignlette of the moad- ern officer’s dress uniform. As armor began to be discarded plece by piece, paintings of the period show, laces to support the arm pfeces, since they were no longer needed. were looped about the shoulders and became merely marks that dis tinguished the wearer as high in- the order of military dignity. EVERYWHERE SIGNS OF FALL Sights and Sounds That Meet the Eyes and Ears in the Year's clot- G <.Ing Season. Fall! and everywhere the sights and sounds of falling. In the woods. through the cool, silvety air. the leaves, so indispensable once. so useless now. Bright day after bright day. dripping night after dripping night, the never- ending filtering or gusty fall of leaves. The fall of walnuts, dropping from bare boughs with mufled boom- into the deep grass. , The fall of the hickory-nut, rnmlng noisily down through the scaly limhs and scattering its hull among the stones of the brook below. The fall of buckeyes, rolling like balls of ma- hogany into the little dust paths wmade by the sheep when they sought those roofs of leaves. The fall of acorns, leaping out of their matted green cups as they strike the earth. The fall of red haw, persimmon and pawpaw, and the odorous wild plum in its valley thickets. The fall of all seeds whatsoever in the forest. now made ripe in their high places and sent back to the ground, there to be folded in agalnst the time when they shall rise agaln as the living genera- tions, the homing, downward flight of the seeds in the many-colored weeds all over the quiet land.—Jameés Lane Allen, in “Reigh of Law."

They’re telling & good story on a young society woman recently mar- ried and a member of the highest circles of which New York boasts. The young matron and her husband were attending a rummage sale be- ing conducted for the benefit of something or other and among the articles offered for sale were a pair of fairly degent-looking shoes that were little worn. The husband decided "he would buy the “kicks.” The price was agreed upon, wherenpon the sales- person in charge remarked that the shoes were “very good and had be- longed to Oliver Eisenhart of Horse- heads, the dairyman, you know, who makes all the: butter for the Wal- dorf Astoria. Surely you know Ollie? He is the father of 15 of the nicest children you ever saw.” “Father of 15 children?” gasped the bride. “That’s right,” replied the clerk. “Henry, put those shoes right down,” “You’re not geing to step into Oliver . Eisenhart’s shoes.” And Henry “put these shaes right down.” —New York World.

One member of the board of trustees, Mr. Snustad, was present, and manifested a deep interest in the testing of the physical condition of the sixty-three pupils in attendance. Miss Erickson expressed herself as more than pleased with the condi- tions under which the school is work- ing:in its splendid new building. It is hoped by all interested, that under the improved conditions, there will be: aanarked decrease in the number ofcases of ear, throat and nose di- seases than was possible In the old building. Miss Erickson plans to give the Nary school a day or two of clinic some time within the next two or three months. Parents who under- stand the importance of this work, will be glad of the opportunity to bring their children at that time to have all troubles attended to as far, as possible. To Mark Tools. Tools may be marked with letter punches ‘ln case they are not too hard. An excellent method 18 by the use of nitrie acid, which is easily procured at the drug stores and may be kept indefinitely in a bottle having a glass stopper. The method 18 equally sim- ple. Warm the tool to be marked enqugh to cause wax to adhere to it in a thin film. Scratch the name with some' sharp-pointed Instrument quite through the wax. A little nitric acld poured on the writing will quickly eat out the letters on the steel surface. Wash off the acid and remove the wax with a hot rag. The job is done and the marking will be practically everlasting. Samuel Rogers.
