GOT FACTS SLIGHTLY MIXED Representative Osborne Evidently Had Not Taken Keen Notice of Posi tion of Sherman Statue. One of the best speeches in the house In years came from Representa tive Osborne of California the day -of the Pershing parade, says the Los An geles Times. Having been one of tlie soldiers who marched up Pennsylva nia avenue at the close of the Civil war for a flnal review by General Sherman, he was able to draw a beau tiful and striking contrast with the return of the veterans of 1010. At one point In the address the rep resentative spoke feelingly of how Sherman, at the head of the column, at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue had turned on bis horse and looked hack at the advancing veter ans. "Thus,'' said Mr. Osborne, "the fig ure of Sherman, cast In bronie, sits to day at the head of Pennsylvania ave nue, as he sat that day more than fif ty years ago." The reference to the Sherman statue aroused great Interest and many were the pilgrimages made to .the statue within the next few days to see bow Sherman looked gating down the ave nue. nut horror uf horrors! It de veloped that Sherman was looking not Inward the advancing column, but to ward the White House, which stands tu an opposite.direction. Now Osborne Is looking for the man who placed It thus.

Schools and colleges have been Invited to make a collection of all the Welsh field, place and road names, including those of lanes, hills, woods, mounds and dykes, and to mark on the six-Inch ordnance map the spots to which the names are attached. A fund has been placed at the dis posal of the Welsh department to provide the materials for the records, which will be collated by the board of Celtic studies In connection with the university of Wales, and deposited In the Welsh library. Each school Is recommended to re tain a duplicate of the record, which can be added to from' time to time. Space is provided for supplemental Information on such matters as the existence of rural Industries; the survival of old or curious customs or crafts; peculiar words or pronuncia tions; local proverbs or quaint say ings; the use of old agricultural lm pleiflSnts; particulars of" Interesting local "characters" who may have been distinguished..by •-their..oddities, their benefactions, or their service® during the war.

And the process of creating new legends hfs evidently not yet come to an end, If we may accept a statement made at a recent women's Institute meeting at Rxeter, at which various speakers re counted the traditions of their respect ive localities. A few years ngo the battle ship Montngue was wrecked on Lundy Island as ahe was entering the Bristol channel In a fog. The people of the neighborhood, we are told, have no donbt that she was lured tn her doom by the spirit of Sir Francis Drake. She happened to bo flying the Spanish flag In honor of the marriage of King Alphonso and Princess Bna.
