Rippling
Rhymes
By Walt Hasan.
A MOUKltX INSIAXtK.
A punktown teacher took a
ftrip of rubber that was ho ft
and fat, and smote a pupil on
the hip. ami also on a limb and
slat. He claimed tho sprlnguld
thus chastised was most unruly
all the time; but hosts of peo
ple, shocked, surprised, de
nounced his action an a crime.
Before a Jury of his peers he
will be tried they're telling me,
nnd he may draw a dozen
years, or suffer on the gallows
tree. And everywhere through
out the town it Is the subject
ot debate; men argue with a
smile or frown, and women
hum a hymn of hate. Perhaps
the teacher wan nt fault, per
haps tho youth deserved hlB
whacks; but controversy doesn't
halt and smoking tempers don't
relax. To one who lived in an
cient days, and studied in old
fashioned schools. It seems a
frightful fuss to raise for
clubs wero once the teachor'a
tools. You often heard the

The teacher 'had a row of sticks

wood, nnd woe betide tho
youthful hicks who didn't at

his tools selected one that
served his turn. Then he woult1
say, "It grieves my heart to
punish you. oh erring youth,
but you've, been acting ho
blamed smart there'H nothing
else to do. in sooth." And no
one seemed to think it wrong,
and teachers were not held in
scorn because they larruped
all day long, and .started eurly
in the morn.

PATRIOTIC SCOTS
E
STONE OF SCONE
LONDON, Dec. 22. A' A plot
to steal thu "Stone of Destiny" from
the coronation chair in Westmin
ster Abbey, recently disclosed here.
Is said to be an opening move In u
revolutionary program planned; by
young Scottish 'imtionallst-s.
They aim to bring to a head tlio
objective for which many Kcots
have long been working, the res
toratfon of Scotland's national Iden
tity, and her self-government
through a parliament of her own.
similar to the Ulster parliament
in northern Ireland.
Tho plans of these fiery youths
to raid the abbey,'' carry off the
stone and deposit it with the Lurd
Provost of Perth, would, if suc
cessful, fittingly symuouifie bv.i
land's declaration of independence.
Known as the Stono of Kcone, the
"Htone of Destiny'' upon which the
kings of England have sat at their
coronations for almost seven hun
dred years, had formerly been part
of the throne of tho kings of Scot
land from time Immemorial. It
was brought from the Abbey of
Scone, scene of Scottish corona
tions, by Kdward I., first of the
kings of a united England and
Scotland, and since 196 has rest
ed beneath the hard wooden seat
of the coronhtion chair used by
Britain's successive monarchs.
A venerable tradition, credits it
as being the stone on which Jacob
pillowed his head, when he dream
ed of the bidder "set up on the
earth, and, the top of It reached to
heaven, " and which he afterwards
anointed with nil and set up for a
pillar of "God's house." The fact
that It is a piece of Scottish red
sandstone, however, discounts that
fact that the Stone of Destiny could
have originated in the land of Ja
cob. Tair Date Kali Tied.
FItRKXO. Cfil., Dec. "U. -A
Date for tho Oregon1 state fair for
l'J20, September 23 to 211, inclusive,
was ratified yesterday by the West
ern Fairs association.
