FINDER OF THE MAGIC RING.
Story of Gyges and the Romantic
Rise to the Throne of Lydia.
Gyges, king of Lydia about 687 to
857 B. C., was, according to story, a
shepherd. One day he found a ring
which made the wearer invisible, on
the body of a man discovered inside a
brazen horse,
The then king boasted of his queen’s
beauty to Gyges and surreptitiously
introduced him into her chamber to
convince him, says the Detroit News.
Indignant at the impropriety, the
queen later sent for Gyges and gave
him the choice of killing her husband
and marrying her or of being himself
murdered. Naturally Gyges chose the
former alternative and, with the aid
of the magic ring, he was enabled to
enter the king's chamber unseen and
to slay him.
Another version of the story says
that Gyges fell in love with the queen
and the king sentenced Gyges to death.
The latter murdered the king on the
night before the day set for his own
execution and seized the throne and
married the queen,
Few Faced the Firing Squad.
Out of the many millions of men
which comprised the British army dur-
ing the late war only 346 officers and
men so failed in their duty as to
justify their execution by the firing
squad.
Three British officers were shot—
two for desertion and one for mur-
der. One man was sentenced to death
three times, each for desertion. Twice
he was reprieved, but he could not
stand the welter of blood and mud of
the trenches so he deserted again and
the third time he was shot.
Forty other men, after being sen-
tenced to death, were reprieved only
to offend again and be shot. In 266
cases the offense against the military
code was desertion, though 37 men
were executed for murder. Eighteen
were shot for cowardice, three for mu-
tiny and two for sleeping on duty. In
all, 3,080 death sentences were passed.
Both Tune and Words.
A young fellow was trying hard to
explain to the salesman what he
wanted.
“Now, haven't you this song? It
goes zim-zim, zum-zum, zang-zang.
You know.”
And the salesman was trying very
hard to follow him.
“Sorry,” said the salesman, “but I
don’t seem to recognize the tune,
What are the words?”
“Those are the words.”
She Was Dead.
“Red” Herring was on leave, having
some soup and fish with his third-
grade teacher.
“How do you like the soup, Mr. Her
ring?” she asked.
“It certainly smells jake, but I don't
know how it’s gonna eat!”
“Why, Mr. Herring; where is your
grammar?” |
“She's dead, ma’am, over a year last
May.”—Our Navy.
Norse Essay on the Frag.
A classic essay lately immortalized
in type is about frogs and was written
by a young Norwegian. The essay
runs:
“What a wonderful bird the frog
are! When he stand he sit, almost.
When he hop he fly, almost. He aln’t
got no sense, hardly. He ain'§ got no

CENTRE HALL.
Rev. W. R. Picken has
from a visit to New York.
Clymer McClenahan was on the sick
list several days last week.
The W. C. T. U. met at the home of
Mrs. George Heckman, east of town,
last Saturday evening.
Sunday and Monday were real win-
ter days, the thermometer recording
“below zero” weather.
Mrs. Thomas Keefer and children,
of Youngwood, are visiting. Her par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Brungard.
Mrs. William Keller, mother of Miss
Tillie P. Keller, assistant postmis-
tress, has been quite ill for several
weeks.
Eugene Burkholder, son of Mr. and
Mrs. M. A. Burkholder, of Earlys-
town, spent several days at Harris-
burg at the farm products show, as a
judge of hogs.
A number of our people saw the re-
markable movie, “The Hunchback of
Notre Dame,” at State College, the
beginning of the week and felt well
repaid for having made the trip.
The fifteen days allowed un-
der the present law for securing 1924
dog licenses expired on January 15th,
and any dog found minus a collar and
tag can be impounded and the owner
prosecuted.
The Odd Fellows’ banquet, last Fri-
day night, was a most enjoyable af-
fair. The exclusion of children and
the limitation of the number of guests
allowed each member of the lodge
seems to have solved the problem of
“congestion” of former years. The
toasts were good, and the eats the
finest ever.
