New York with a crew of 42 men, und by the time the vewel reached Sun Franclm o 17 of them had been shot by Watermun, most of theru futully, hi excuse being that they refused to obey orders. When the ship returned to New York the authorities were waiting for Wuter tnun. but he learned of his danger and contrived Id escape. He landed on the Jersey coust, and the ship was un loaded and cleared In the name of the first officer. When the vessel left New York for Its return trip the sher iff came uboard and announced his determination to stay there until he found Waterman. When Sandy Hook was reached the acting captain told the sheriff that he was about to steer for Cape Horn and advised hi return ing to New York by tie pilot boat. He did so, and soon afterward Water man boarded from a coasting schooner. He never returned to New York, but died In California.

IV TFYTRftOKSS "Acknowledging the Corn." The expression "to acknowledge the corn," meaning "to confess to a churge or imputation," had Its origin In the misfortunes of a certain up country gentleman years ago In New Orleuns. This individual urrlved In that city with two llutbouts, one luden with corn and the other with potatoes. His first night there he entered into a disastrous gambling . game during which he lost all his money und finally put up his two bout-loads and lost them. Heturnlng to the wharf after the gume he discovered that the boat bearing the corn had suuk, und was u total loss. The next morning the winner arrived at the wharf claim lug his winnings. The unlucky voyager said to him, "Stranger, I acknowledge the corntake it ; but the potatoes you can't have, by thunder 1" "Golf" Comes From Dutch Word. Why i.l tle Ulieli;.,l jScotlisa tj,mifc uow so popular In this country among those aole to support the extensive links retpihed, ciued "golf" The unsucr is to bo loi.nu in a letter writ ten by Sir Walter Seott, In 1JS12: "1 hIioiiM doubt very much that the word -golf I dorlu'd trom the verb 'gowliy or to strike hind. On tho contrary, 1 conceive that the verb it self Is 'derived from the game, antl to 'gowff is to strike sluup and strong, as In that amusement. If I were to hazard a conjecture, I should think that the name 'golf Is derived from the same Teutonic expression from which the Hermans have 'colb.' a club, and the Low Dutch 'kolff,' which comes very near the sound of golf.' K I am right, tho word 'golf' signifies 'the game of the club.'" Monmouth A textbook entitled "Supervision and the Improvement of Teaching," written by Will H. Bur ton, former instructor of psychology in the Oregon Normal school and now a member of the faculty ofWashing ton college, Whitman, has been ord ered eliminated from use in the nor mal school by action of the execu tive committee of the board of re gents. The objections voiced by J. .A. Churchill, superintendent of public instruction, and Miss Cornelia Mar vin, state librarian, both members of the board of regents, are based on two paragraphs which, they contend, cast a reflection on the late J. H. Ackerman, normal school president. The book is dedicated to Professor Thomas H. Gentle, director of the normal training schools, and a por tion contains methods and . plans which were worked out by him and given to his students in lectures pre vious to the publication of the text. The two regents voiced objection also to a statement in the preface which avoids reference to the Oregon Normal school and refers to Mr. Gentle as "residing near Independ ence, Ore." The underlying cause of the oppo sition to the book is said to be a bitter feeling toward Mr. Burton on the part of several regents due, it is said, to a dispute between him and Mr. Ackerman several years ago when Mr. Burton was instructor of psychology in the normal school. Mr. Gentle was a close friend of Mr. Burton. ' i ; ,:J. At the same time Mr. Gentle has said he always enjoyed cordial rela tions with Mr. Ackerman, although they frequently differed in their viewpoints. When word was, received that the regents had forbidden .use of the book, students of the general methods class assembled in the training school auditorium, where the situation was explained by Mr. Gentle and J. S. Landers, president of the normal school and successor to the late J. H. Ackerman. A strong feeling of resentment against the regents' action was expressed by some stu dents, who were, however, dissuaded from petitioning the regents in favor of the book. Asked for a statement regarding his views President Landers declined! to comment When Mr. Gentle appeared . at chapel last Friday ' morning for , the first time since the order eliminating the book was received, he was greeted by prolonged applause from the student body. Student leaders said a resolution was in preparation with a view to indorsing the policies of Mr. Gentle. They said the sentiment of the stu dents seemed to be that a disagree ment between Mr. Ackerman and Mr. Burton, neither of whom is connected with the institution, should not pre vent their taking advantage of a val uable book. One hundred and fifty copies at $2.50 a copy had been pur chased by the students. This was said to be the first time that normal school regents in Oregon had interfered in the selection of - a textbook. The Diagnosis Was All Right "You'll have to take less strenu ous exercise and sleep more," said the doctor to the dejected looking man who appeared before him. t; "That's my idea exactly, doc," ex claimed the other, brightening a trifle. "Would you mind coming up to the house and telling that to the baby?" : r Two pints used to make a quart, we learned, but now ; they make a funeral. , Plant's Remarkable Growth. A recent note in science records what Is believed to be the temperate zone record for a single season's growth of u shoot of the tree type of woody plant. This quite phenomenal shoot grew from the stump of a be heiided Paulownla and reached a height of 21 feet (5 Inches, a circum ference of 10 inches at the base, find had 24 leaves, one of which, measured in late July, was found to be 38 Inches long In the largest dimension. Two Made Heavy Work. Mrs. Henlinm 1 made this cake with my own hands. llenhnm Well, ninny hands make light work. You ought to have hud help. "The Salvation Army" taught its great lesson of Ameri canism on the firing lines of France. It is carrying-on the same ideals during this 1 trying period of reconstruction. This is accomplished to a great degree by its method of applying 'practical Christianity.' By extending a helping hand in illness, by providing food, clothing, fuel and the innumerable other means of helpfulness to stricken humanity, regardless "of race, creed or color, The Salvation Army naturally draws to it the people of many nationalities. Is there a more fertile ground for the sowing and developing of the fundamentals of true Americanism?" , CALVIN C00IJDGE, Vice-President of the United States. i The Salvation Army Home Service Campaign Will be Lauched here in a few days
