A VALUABLE HEIRLOOM
County Auditor J. C. Kistle has a valuable heirloom in the shape of a
"hand made" arithmetic which is a curio of perseverance and patience,
and also a specimen of artistic handiwork. In the book all the rules of
arithmetic are explained and examples given. Each set of rules is begun
with a beautiful illustration in pen and ink, and some of the writing is
a perfect as copy plate or letter press. The hand made arithmetic is
the work of his grandfather, William Foard, who at the age of sixteen,
in 1804, began its compilation. He was a poor boy working in the tin
mines of Cornwall, in England, at the time and gleaning an education by
studying evenings and attending night school. The book is in the form
of a ledger and the paper is of much better quality than that now
supplied by the trusts. It was bound in sheepskin, but handling and age
had somewhat injured the covering and it has been rebound in modern
leather.

by and frightened the Mohning horse which began to kick, breaking the
dashboard and striking the girl on the stomach. She fell from the
vehicle and the horse ran wildly on. Mr. Mohning finally succeeded in
