Never were the Scotch Highlanders more loyal to Wallace or Rhoderic Dhu than the selectmen and women chosen and drawn in iine of bat tle were to Arch Nicholson anti John McMath, who were pitted clansmen chiefs of the Thalean spelling bee. Miss Phinizy sounded the gong at 8 P. M. for the partisan lueagues This Thalean highbrow did not camouflage, nor did she lead the clansmen under barricades nor trenches. Out in the open and over the top at once. “Spell ‘icicle’,” she says to Glaw son, of the McMath clan. “No, sir, wrong and out,” when he spelled at it, she said. “Spell ‘bonfire,” she said to an old farmer who has stacks of hay at home. “Hello,” he says, “are you talking about a sure enough barn fire, or Liberty bonds.” Frank Webb spelled everything given to him, except arnica. John McMath and Nicholson were spellers. They fought like veterans. The wonder is every one spelled so many words. This neighborhood can hereafter boast of good spellers.
