THIS “ANGEL” -WAS A KITE But Superstitious Railroad Man Who Shot It- Down Was Certainly Scared for a Time. “The shooting,” says a Texas map, “occurred some years ago on the Pan- handle branch of the Santa Fe, and the hero of_the tale was a superstitious engineer wito believed in ‘\m[nlngfi “One night h\e was rolling mong at a good speed, when he. saw a clear, white light, like a will-o’-the-wisp, dancing over the track a few hundred féet In:frapte He shut off steam and came taNu'stop as quickly as’he could. The conductoriaind train crew came running up to the en"lne to see what was the mrattér, * ‘There is*some-one swinging a an- tern across the ha,ck sajd the engi- nieer, and the ciew Weht*Aliead to in- |y vestigate. & . ‘\\'e;caqtf find anyone,” reported the rear brafleman, and the -enginecr pulled out again, but he went slewly, and in a few minutes stopped agsin. The crew went ahead once more to see what-was the cause of thefilght. The conductor, who was a good shof, drew his revolver, and at his second shot there was a crash, a scream, and « the light went out, and something white came fluttering down from the clouds. , “The englneer was scarved. ‘Yon'vel shot an angel, sure, he said to the! conductor, with a face as nale as death. \ i “Investigation brought out the Tact | that a small boy, with a lantern tied to the tail of a kite, was the cause of the trouble; but for a long time it \teased the engincer to be asked about ‘shooting angels.’” / HIGH PLACE FOR LEWIS CASS Was Instrumental In Setting Up Amer.

Although it s a proven -fact thn! the game now deslgvfnted baseball is of modern and purely American origin, the use of a ball in ceremonies and games goes back many centuries. Four thousand -years ago, in the | twelfth Egyptlan dynasty, a Coptie artist sculptured 'on ‘the temple Ben! Hassan, human figures throwing and catching balls. A leather-covered ball | used in games played on the Nile over 40 ceuturies ago, has a place among the many archeological specimens in the British museurs. It has a sewed cover and is in a remerkable state of preservation, The game-of ball-was prized by the “Greeks as glving grace and elasticity & statue to on istonigus. for " his. proficlency in 1.7 Anclent medical practitioners were ‘wont to prescribe a course of ball playing, where the modern ‘doctor would order a diet of pills. It is supposed that ball tossing had a deep symbolic weaning when played in the spring of the vear; apd that the tossing of the ball was intended \first to typify the upspringing of the life of nature after the gloom of win- ter. And, whether this was the case among the people of antjquity or not, it is a remarkable fact’ that the ec- clesinstics of the early church adopted this symbol and gave it a very special significance by meating on Easter day and throwing a ball from hand to hand, to typify the Resurrection, “TOTEM .POLES” TELL STORY Are Historical Records, and Not, as Many Supposed, Idols to Be Worshiped. An art in sculpture-not resembling any other art in the world, unless pos- sibly that of ancient Mexico, is found highly developed among the aboriginal natives of the northwest coast. views. “Such a leader was Lewis Cass, a native of New Hampshire, who went out as a youth to the settle- ments that were soon to be organized into the state of Ohio, took part in lawmaking there, served as a volun- teer officer In the war of 1812, was ap- | pointed governor of Michigan terri- tory, and for many years-was engaged in the difficult task of setting up™an American form of .government in re- glons that had barely emerged from the wilderness stage, “That Lewis Cass was in after years a United States (senator from Michi- &an, 2 member. of cabinets, a diplomat and an unsuccessful aspirant for the presidency may have partially~blinded us to the really important services that he rendered in the pioneer perfod of Michigan’s histol Neither he nor any of tlie men of -his day-could have foreseen the strain:that was to be put on the states created out of the old Northwest territory caused by the at- tempt to absorb vast populations of northern European blood into the citi- zenship, “Lewis Cass lived ito see great ar- mies recruited amoi those newly .made Ameridans to fight for the Unlon and the principles of nationality which he had himself defended throughout his career.” First Payment of Rent. t It would be hard to find exact rec- ords of the first rent paid. It is said that\ when the Germans conquered parts of Gaul_the land was parceled out to chiefs, lleutenants and private soldiers. In return the.holders of the lands promised military service when needed. Some of the land was given to favorites, who were allowed to pay in money instead of service, and the system’ was established. Rent was certainly known in the days that Rome flourished, there being Latin names for rent under long leasehold tenure; rent of a farm, ground rent, rent of state lands and the angual rent pay- able for the right to th§j perpetual cn- Joyment of anything bullt 6n the sur- fate of the land.

The man who is not master of himself under al} condl- tions cannot feel the assurance, the power, which is the right of every hu- man being to experience. He is never sure of himself, and the man who is never sure of himself is never wholly at ease. He is not even well-bred, for good bregding implies sclf-control un- der'all circumstances.
