former days of the boys who might
still be In Harrlsburg to receive their
sheepskins that will flit across the
minds of the graduates.
But with the remaining members
of the class thinking of those who
have already gone, and fired by the
patriotism of the speakers of the
evening, little wonder but that more
of the class would follow their class
mates to the front to put into ser
vice that which their teachers have
Inculcated within them, the idea of
service.
Farmer's Plow Strikes
a Woman of Stone
Chillioothe, Ohio,—What is thought
to be a relic of primeval days has
been discovered on the farm of Judge
John W. Goldsberry by the tenant,
Jacob Ott.
Ott was plowing a field when his
plow struck something hard and un
earthed a strangely shaped piece of
red clay stone. On closer Investi
gation Ott found that the rock was a
crude sculpture of a perfectly formed
woman. The head of the figure was
missing, but otherwise the carving
was in a good state of preservation.
The body of the figure is carved in
bas-relief on a flat rectangular stone,
but the legs are completely carved
out. The hands; feet and arms are
plainly visible.
The opinion Is that the figure Is an
idol of some ancient tribe, formerly
inhabitants of this section.

Sail Antonio, Tex., June 11.—Sen

.Hall Decorations to Be
Clothing Now For Huns
New York. —The scarcity of cloth
ing in Germany has resulted in an
that all municipalities negoti
ate Vith societies for the utilization
of materials u seel for hall deco
rations, says the Berlin Tageblatt.
The imperial clothing board has
been forced to deny the applications
of communities for the delivery of
clothing and linen for city children
sent to the country because of the
scarcity of supplies. Worn footwear
and old leather may be sold only to
persons and boards designated by
the Imperial body for shoe supply.
The same holds good as to all fin
ished goods In whole or in part of
leather, such as trunks and hat and
helmet boxes, footballs,, dice boxes,
saddles, school knapsacks, harnesses
and card cases.
