SIMPLE LANGUAGE THE BcSl HORRORS OF OLD SEA VOYAGE
Two Good Examples That Should Im-
press Themselves Upon the Minds
of Young Writers.
Benjamin Franklin once decided to
rewrite the Bible. He got as tar
us the allegory of .lob. He erased
the passage "Doth Job fear God for
naught?" a question supposed to have
been put to the Almighty by Satan.
This Is how Benjamfa, who was bent
upon making the Bible dignified, aca-
demic and scholastic, transformed that
passage: "Hoes Your Majesty imag-
ine that Job's good conduct is the ef-
fect of personal attachment and affec-
tion?" !
Improving upor. the simplicity of
simple English always has just that
effect.
By way of contrast between this
pompous foolishness and the writing of
a gifted man with a sense of humor, I
note that Mark Twain in "Innocence

Graphic Description of Miseries E*
dured by the Sixteenth Cen
tury Traveler.
If the passenger did not find him-
self in a position to get counsels of
perfection carried out, this is what ha
would experience: "In the galley all
sorts of discomfort are met with. To
each of us was allotted a space three
spans broad, and so we lay one upon
another, suffering greatly from the
heat in summer and much troubled by
vermin. Huge rats came running
over our faces at nights, and a sharp
eye had to be kept on the torches, for
some people go about carelessly and
there's no putting them out in case of
fire, being, as they are, all pitch. And
when it is time to go to sleep and one
has great desire thereto, others near
him talk or sing or yeil and generally
please themselves, so that one s rest
is broken. Those near us who fell

One of the most striking attractions
of the old town of Klttery Point has
long been her towering elms, says the
Kennebec Journal. They rise mag
nificently above trees of all other vari
eties and in summer with their toliage
encompass her quaint streets in deli
cious green coolness, transform the
fine old place into a veritable seashore
fairyland, and last but not least en
rapture the summer visitor.
For nearly two miles along the high
way, which for the most part follows
the shore of the harbor, these splendid
specimens rear themselves at fairly
regular intervals, though the ax has in
time past brought some of the mon
archs crashing to the earth.
The story of the circumstances at
tending the planting of the giants, as
it has been handed down from father
to son, runs as follows: 'Maj. Thomas
Cutts, one of the old town fathers,
who conducted a fishing business, for-
eign commerce, a store and a tavern
in the famous Peppereli mansion (.built
1CC2) conceived the very commendable
idea of beautifying his native town by
setting out trees.
"Accordingly in 1791 he gave one
Samuel Make the contract. Samuel's
remuneration was nothing more or less
than a pint of rum, doubtless brought
from the West Indies, by one of the
major's pinkies, for each tree planted.
There were originally 90 of them, and
they extended from th< Slavey lot.

now stands, to the 'Top of the Point' or
'the shore of Spruce creek."

"I went away from there. I do not
say that I went away in any sort of
hurry, but I simply went—that is suf-
ficient. I went out at the window and
I carried the sash along with me. I
did not need the sash, but it was
handler to take It than it was to leave
it. and so I took it—I was not scared,
but 1 was considerably ivgitated."

literary or journalistic career, as

of Burke and the speeches of college

Noses of Our Ancestors.
Ancient white man had immense
bony buttresses like a billy goat's
bulging out above his eyebrows, he
had brow and no forehead, and no
bony bridge of the nose to speak of.
So when such an evolutional grand- j
daddy got a sockdolager over his eyes
and nose with a fist or a club it didn t (
much matter. He did not have to
have the bridge of his nose raised by
a Burgical engineer, nor have his eye
painted by a "black eye artist." The
same kind of clubbing today would not
only spoil a man's looks for life, but
might end him then and there. It is
pretty clear that the white man's nose

Old Pennsylvania Bank Notes.
The state treasury at Harrisburg,
Pa., which frequently receives "shin-
plasters" nnd old forms of currency
and bank notes for redemption, was
recently asked to pay the value of two
notes of the Northampton bank of
Allentown, which a citizen -of that
part of the state had discovered at
his home. The notes were dated in
the late '30's and one was for five
dollars and the other for ten dollars.
It was found upon Inquiry that the
bank closed Its doors at one time and
the writer had admitted it. The notes
will be returned If the writer wants
them or will be kept among the curl-
asltles at the capltol.
WORTH KEEPING IN MEMORY
Life's Lesson That, Well Learned,
Would Lessen the Number of
Unhappy Wives.
It Is a lesson that men have ap-
parently never needed to learn, that
marriage is for life, not life for mar-
riage, and that the world is teeming
with other interesting things. It
would make most wives vastly more
capable, more interesting, and certain
ly happier if they could bear about
with them the same conviction. that
the world Is full of other interesting
! things. It would be balm to many an
1 unsuccessful marriage. For, despite
all the wisdom in the world, all mar-
riages are not, and cannot be made,
happy and successful, and certainly the
fewer of these failures that are flung
out for public adjustment the better.
Let men and women learn to make
a workable compromise, and make the
very most of the other interesting

When the proud time came that lit!
tie Elmer was to discard kilts foil
manlier garb his young and inexperl-\
enced mother made those important
garments, his first pants. She made
them bloomer fashion, as was then the
style, and perhaps she was a little
generous with the material, for when
Elmer, attired in them, went to grand-
ma's room and proudly but anxiously
turned round and round before her that
lady exclaimed:
"Why, Elmer! You look like an
Amsterdam Dutchman!"
Little sister, who had been standing,
a breathless audience, in the door-
way, fled precipitately down the hall
to mamma's room.
"Mamma," she said in a shocked
whisper, "grandma say bruver look
like a dam Dutchman!"
