POSSIBLY THE FIRST MUSIC Sagpipe3 Have Been Known Since There Has Been Any Record Written In History. " / Rasrnfnefl are the 1'iilnrlin naJlnnnl Instrument. "Until* latefjT^^^errania who waited on the Turkish grand vizier in Constantinople were mutes, though not, as in former times, persons specially mutilated, but children born deaf and dumb. They use a language of signs, with a special gesture to describe the representative of each nation. To indicate the Bulgarian agent they imitate a man playing the bagpipes. It was not the Bulgarians who invented the pipes, however. They are among the oldest of musical instruments. An ancient gem shows Apollo with them, and two instruments in the book of Daniel are believed to have been bagpipes. The bagpipes raRge not only in time from Apollo and the Bible to the present day, but geographically from China to Spain and Great Britain. England is said to have given them to Scotland. One country, however, finally lost a peculiarly severe form of the instrument. This was the Sardinian "lannedda," which had three pipes, all placed in the piper's mouth, and was played by rubbing strips of wax up and down over the holes. The work was so exhausting that nearly all the pipers died young. In 1845 George Burdett came across one who had survived to the age of 80. But he was the last of the lannedda players, and when he died, the instrument was played no more. State Poultry Association.

LAND SUIT WON BY U. S. i LAND WORTH MILLIONS OF OOLLARS IS WON BY THE GOVERNMENT j Southern Pacific Ordered to Return Property Valued at $60,000,000 to United States , Portland, Ore.?Land stipulated to J be worth $30,000,000 and estimated by , experts to have a value of $40,000,000 to $60,000,000, was ordered taken from the Southern Pacific Railroad company , and returned to the federal govern- j ment by Judge C. E. Wolverton in the United States district court. The Oregon-California land grant case, involving more than 2,300,000 ( acres, will be carried to the circuit court of appeals, sitting at San Fran- ( Cisco, and later to me unuea suites i Supreme court for final adjudication. The case was submitted without i argument after an agreement of counsel out of court. This case was instituted in 1908. Early in the history of the case, A. W. Lafferty filed about sixty private suits for men induced to locate on the lands. The main case, demanding forfeiture of 2,300,000 acres remaining unsold, then was filed. In the decree authorised, the Lafferty and all other tntervening cases were ordered dismissed and the government's main contention for forfeiture was declared the final verdict of the lower court. A total of 820,000 acres of the land has been sold, some of ii as high as $-10 an acre. Mother Throws Sons Into Stream. Logansport, Ind.?Mrs. Nellie Paugh, 36 years old, threw her two sons, Donald, 12, and Delbert, 6, from a bridge into Deer creek and jumped into the stream. The mother and the younger boy were drowned, but Donald swam ashore. Before throwing the hoys on the bridge the mother told them she was doing so because no one loved them. Father of 50 Children. Walnut, Ark.?A table of "Uncle ! Tom" Ellison's progeny, recast after the birth of a child to one of his i granddaughters, showed a surprising record.

Chester.?Hard and strenuous detective work on the part of Sheriff D. Earle Colvin,, Depaty Sheriff W. W. Bindeman, and two detectives sent tc this county by the governor resulted in the arrest of two negroes, Dave and Anna Davis, husband and wife, on a I charge of killing John Lewis, t. planter of considerable means at his home near Corn well. They were arrested on circumstantial evidence, gathered-by the authorities, aided by a Rock HiH r.egro ana Custer Shealy, a negro, who was locked up. Difference of Opinion. The large man with the red nose sneezed hugely. "You eeem to have a bad cold," remarked the small one. The large individual glared. "It's the best, broadest, noisiest most successful coid I ever had!" he retorted. "I guess you are a bum uithoricy on rolcls. ain't you?" And the thin man dived int& liia nfii'onpi-r ! MEANINGS CHANGED BY TIME i : Study of Word Building Through Centuries Erings Out Many Most Interesting Points. Word building is as much a piece ! of carpentry as is house building. , Only it. takes longer. Sometimes a j century or more. And by that time ; the word's first meaning Is usually changed. For example, the old word for ! "neighbor" was "sib." One's good ; neighbor was known as one's "good j sib." This became shortened to "godj sib," and later to "gossip." Then the word's whole meaning changed and gossip no longer meant good neigh' bor, but applied to the sort of talk exchanged between good neighbors. Take the word "farmer," too. The old word for "farmer" was "boor." (And "boor" later was used for de scribing farmer-like or rough per i sons.) The farmer living nearest tc one was known as the "nighbor," and this phrase, in course of time, waE 1 twisted to "neighbor." You've heard tne proverb: "Little pitchers have big ears." Well, it doesn't refer to the utensil that holds ! water or goes to the corner side door. ' "Pitcher" was a slang term with some such meaning as our word "chap" or ! "fellow." Thus, "Little fellows have ! big ears" is a more sensible rendering f of the proverb. ( HE WANTS TO FIGHT JAPAN Mississippi Congressman Wants U. S. to Back California. Washington.?A "war speech" in support of the proposed California anti-alien law, was delivered in the , liouse by Representative Sisson of Mississippi. "If we must have war or submit to this indignity, I am for war," cried Mr. Sisson. "I am with the people ot California in their efforts to prevent these aliens from acquiring land.' "I believe," said Mr. Sisson, "that 110 non-resident aliens should be allowed to hold a single foot of land in the terirtory of the United States. Wilson Open on Canal Controversy. Washington.?President Wilson told callers he considered the controversy with Great Britain over the exemption of American coastwise shipping from payment of tolls through the Panama j canal a very debatable one. The president gave no intimation as to what his previous view had been, but demo cratic senators wlio taiaea wun mm had the idea that he opposed the exemption and favored the Root amendment to repeal it. When Mr. Wilson discussed the question he said he felt he should keep his mind open. Meat Eating Parson* Bend Knees. Pittsburg?After being urged to eat a little meat and plenty of peas, beans and eggs, sixty meat-eating ministers took off their coats and tried to touch tlngers to the floor without bending the knees. Few succeeded, but progress was noted by a lecturer who came here to teach Pittsburg preachers "how to get well and stay welL" "The food for a laboring man must be different from the food of a professional man," it was stated. "Every minister ought to eat at least two apples a day and ole'ity ,of cabbage. POETRY IN RUSHING WATERS Voice and Appearance of "Mighty Thunderer" Brought to One's 8entes by Graphic Description. Gut of a sudden the sun bursts forth lrf'all the glory of a summer afternoon and the whole aspect of the scene is changed. Gloom and despair are overridden by a boundless joy, the all-dispelling joy of nature. True, the ; waters still hurl themselves headlong to the awful depths below; true, the 1 terrible chasm yawns for Its lawful prey; true, the voice oy me i '"liUUli fu^ULllh' Bummsiimn; the untold depths. But those waters seem now to scclntillate with a thousand crystals, to reflect strange colors and* weird phantom shapes?to dance J with a new-born impetus; that chasm seems to yawn lees terribly; the voice of the "Mighty Thunderer" to speak with a cadence strikingly muBical, and as the miBt created by the : fall rises snowlike to the sky, a veri- j table burnt offering, crowning the I "Mighty Thunderer" with a glorious double rainbow, emblematic of victory and peace, the waters themselves glide off down the river, clear as crystal, yet verdant as the meadowland, smooth as glass, yet turbulent as the mighty torrent that impels them?glide off down the river in the besetting peacefulness that marks the period of calm that precedes the storm?off down the narrowing gorge I to be lost in the vortex of the rapids, j ?Garnault Agassizz, in the National Magazine.

Nearly 3,000 Patches in Quilt. Senoia, Ga.?Mrs. W. C. Wollenweider, who resides near Senoia, has a quilt with 5,n00 patches or scraps, which she made in 1S98. The scraps are, perhaps, the smallest ever put together in a quilt. Another unique relic in this community is a plush pooketbook owned by Frank Pope. The plush is covered with heads worked into leaves, fourteen colors of heads being used. The pocketbook was made by the Indians and presented to Mrs. Cobb before they left this county more than 100 years ago.

Strong, vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold; it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foothold. Now Isn't It reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up your strength again? Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Durham, N. C., says: "I took Vinol for a chronic cough which had lasted two years, and the cough not only disai>* peared, but it built up my strength as well." The reason Vinol Is so efficacious In such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with tonic, blood-building Iron added. Chronic coughs and colds yield to Vinol because it builds up the weakened, run-down system. You can get your money back any time If Vinol does not do all we say. Ladd's Drug Store, Cheraw, S. C.

One of the most remarkable storlei of sudden cold weather is to be found in a famous biography of Abrabas Lincoln. The year 1836 was long known as "the year of the sudder rhanze." At noon on December 2C \ of that year after a warm, rainy mom -? ing the temperature suddenly fell H ' degrees. A man riding into Spring | field for a marriage license found th* j raindrops dripping from his bridle and ?, ' beard changed "in a second" into Jin gling icicles. Geese and chickens were caught bj their feet and wings and frozen to th* wet ground. A drove of 1,000 hogi . being driven to St. Louis rushed to gether for warmth and formed a hug* pile. Those inside smothered, while f those outside froze, and the ghastlj , pyramid remained on the prairie foa ^ months. Men caught on the prairie killtri * their horses, dlsembowled them and " crept into the cavity of their bodies to escape the murderous blizzard.
