PASSED THROUGH
ALBANY SATURDAY
in the m<
around the
table in Independence Hall up
there in Philadelphia to ign the
Declaration of Independence, the
greatest document writ t e n on
earth it was written by Thoma
Jefferson. John Hancock was the
first man to sign it. Of course the
signing of the Declaration of In
dependence was an act of treason
against the British crown. One of
the signers, we forget his name,
signed his name and said if he
didn't put his post office address
on the document, they wouldn't
know who signed it. He was a
Catholic, and a brave man. There
were I.'I Catholics who signed the
document. That great Patrick
on our porch! stood up and said, "Give
me liberty or give me death," and
that statement 'iit around the
world. The patriot went out with
their paraphernalia of war, smooth
hon lilies, and won their lihertv
at Yorktown and Hunker Hill, and
the fir t democracy on earth was
horn. It has grown in wealth and
manpower until it is one of the
grente.-1 power on earth.

DOVE OR DOVES PUNCTUAL
—o—
For four consecutive years a
dove has built its nest and reared
young in a tree just outside the
study window of Rev, F. L. Will
shire of the First Methodist church
at De I,eon, Texas. However,
more unusual than that is the fact
that the dove, or possibly it is an
offspring of the dove nesting there
the previous year, makes its ap-
pearance each spring on Sunday
within a few minutes of the same
time and builds a nest each season
within a few inches of the same
place in the tree.
Texas Game Department biolo-
gists believe, after preliminary
study, that dove- do return to the
same vicinity to nest year after
year. Too, doves hatched in one
vicinity will often return there to
nest the following year.
