Text From Which the Inecription It
Been We. Taken.
_I'’or fifty ,vrurs after that July day In
ITTU, when the old hell rang out Its
memorable message, it continued to he
rung on every festival auil anniver
sary. It wits rung on Cell, no IK po, lu
houor of the centennial of the birth of
Washington. While being tolled on
the morulug of July 8, ISJIa. t u niein-
ory of Chief Justice Marshall, who had
died two day* before, the old relic sud
denly crocked. On Washington’s birth
day. 184H, an attempt was made to
ring It, but the hell hns since lieeu
mute.
Finally It was removed from Its po
sition in the lower to a lower story,
and later It was placed on Its original
limbers In the vestibule of the slate-
house In n prominent position Immedi
ately beneath where a larger hell, pre
sented to Philadelphia In IHtiii. now
proclaims the pausing hours.
To Isaac Norris, the speaker of the
colonial assembly. Is ascribed the hon
or of having originally suggested the
prophetic words from Leviticus xxv, 10,
“Proclaim liberty throughout all the
land unto all the inhabitants thereof,”
which were cast on the hell. The rea
son for the selection of this text nl a
time when there was not the slightest
thought of a break with the mother
country has been a subject of much
conjecture, hut the true reason Is ap
parent when the fidl text Is read. "And
ye shall hallow the fiftieth year nnd
proclaim liberty throughout the land
ntul to all the inhabitants thereof."
In selecting the text the Quakers had
in mind the arrival of William Penn
nnd their forefathers In America.—

Tbs Way a Child Dooi It Is an Index
to Its Character.
It Is very often the little things that
children tin which give the best ludt
cation of what their future characters
will be. Schoolteachers, for Instance,
have a first rote opportunity for watch
ing the different traits in the children
who come before them. In their work
and In their play the sort of mail or
woman the child will become is daily
unfolded. In such a small matter even
as the sharpening of a pencil valuable
hints may be obtained by any one In
the least observant. Here it may easi
ly be discovered whether a boy or girl
is careful, destructive, wasteful or eco
nomical.
The boy, foe instance, who sharpens
his pencil Into a stub Is Inclined to he
economical, careful and quick In after
life. The hoy or girl who takes an
inordinately long time to make a slen
der point, cutting very precisely and
regularly all the time will usually
prove to lie of an artistic and dreamy
disposition. The child who. regardless
of the look of the pencil, gouges out
great pieces in order to get to the tend
will allow Impulsiveness am I generos
ity.
Mere dcstruetiveness. however, be
comes apparent wheu a child takes a
delight In Hitching Ills knife In Ms pen
cil and splitting It »r destroying It In
some other way.
Parents, watch your children when
sharpening their pencils, and correct
ami ndvlse them accordingly. — Pear

CARLYLE’S FIRST LOVE.
Sh» May Hava Sean the Blumlin. .f
"Sartor Reaartus.”
During the year 1818 Thomas Car
lyle, the Scotch philosopher, was tlv
lug at Kirkcaldy, nml lu* seems then
for the first time to have fallen In love.
The lady appears not to have rotiulu
the attachment, although she. wl'
great insight, at the age of twonJfytwo,
perceived the genius of.'-he^imltor of
twenty-five. ‘ u-'
In the letter lu which she took leave
of her admirer she used these signifi
cant expressions: "Cultivate the mild
er dispositions of your heart, subdue
the more extravagant visions of the
brain. • • * Genius will render you
gveat. May virtue render you beloved!
Let your light shine before men.' nnd
think them not. unworthy this trouble.!'
Many years after, when Carlyle
wrote Ids remlntseenees. he described
the episode. He says that Margaret
Oorilon "continued fur, perhaps, some
three years n figure hanging more or
U'ss in my fancy, .in the usmil roman
tic and latterly quite elegiac and silent
terms."

Th. Faust Lsgsnd.
For 1,400 years the Konst legeml-
the sole of a human soul to a devil—
lias existed. The first recorded hint of
it* vitality is giveu In the sixth cen
tury story of “Tlieophllus.” That story
suited tlie curly Christians In their ef
forts to stamp out the nccroinuncing
devices of evilly disposed persons prone
to seek power by unholy means. The
association of the name of Kauai, how
ever, with the legend Is not more then
400 years old. The likeliest prototype

Tha Dud Hors*.
The smart traveling man stood on a
corner iu the little country village at
<lusk. He was looking for amusement,
and the first object that attracted bis
attention was an overgrown boy, per
haps fifteen years of age. rlditfe a
horse lhat might, have come out of the
ark.
“Hello, sonny!" shouted the sales
man. “How long bus that horse biten
dead?"
Quick as a finsh the boy replied,
"Three days, bat you’re the first bur,
zard that has noticed it.”
The traveling man moved on to the
hotel.—Youth's Companion.
Fare* of Association.
While the owner of the touring car
dismounted during necessary repairs,
the young front wheel timidly asked
the old back wheel:
"Don't you get weary of the social
whirl—revolving and revolving and
revolving?"
“You'll get used to it." ssld the old
wheel. “Our owner Is a spinster, with
nothing to do but go round, till some-
times I feel like a Daughter of the
Revolution myself."—Judge.

C. The Chevrolet Motor Company has orree more doubled its manu
facturing facilities, factory organization and production in the- nuni
ber of Chevrolet Cars. These great increases are the results of mod
ern factory methods and the installation of special machinery
throughout all Chevrolet plants.
C. But the above alone is not responsible for our radical price re
duction on 1916 Chevrolet Cars.
C, Our price reductions are also due to the fact that for years we
have devoted our time, energies, and best thoughts to the manu
facture of “FOU RS.” We believe in “FOURS.” We build “FOURS”
—the safe, simple, cheap to operate, thoroughly tried and proven
CHEVROLET (Valve-in-the-Ilead) “FOURS.”
life Build Them in the Interest of
The Consumer
C. The retail dealer must sell on a narrower margin; the distributor must sell on
a much narrower margin; and the manufacturer must sell on a very much nar
rower margin to enable the consumer to secure an honest car at so near a oue
hundred per ctnt. value that he will not .suffer a violent shrinkage in the vnlfie
of his car when the “anuotiucemeut period” arrives in the very middle of the
natural riding season.
C, The above frank statements give the real reasons for our great reductions iu
l‘M6 prices;—and.note, the cars have not been cut a single hair-Jine j|j rmality.
C. Chevrolet Cars are just what their builders have designed them to be—high-
class, fine, luxurious. They have no superiors in hill climbing abili^ ptidfew,
at any price, exceed them in speed performance.
