He had been at work all day, and at

and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody
had touched him. He awo!lo with 81
start, and saw nobody near, though in
the center OF the room stood white
figure.
Course you, get out Of this!" he ex-
claimed in fright, using the fist
words that came to his tongue.
The figure held out his arm, and
slowly approached him, He started to

pressing him into the corner.

Mr.. William Houston read Il paper
on Spelling Reform" q few days ago
at meeting of the Canadian Institute

100 are correctly spelled, and that as a
rule the uneducated spell more correct
" than the educated. Modern spelling,
he thought, is Il tyrannical superstition
inherited from the eighteenth century,
and Millions spelling was much more
correct, both etymologically and pho
netically. 1t will be news to many that

The belled buZzarti, whose flight over
Western counties OF Georgia has ARGUS
ed so much suocrsti;joUS fear among
ignorant whites and bl"cks. passed over
. field near Tav.orvi.i2, Ga, recently
where four men were blowing. One OF
them, q negro, quit work al once and
said the bird was warning to the peo-
ple of another cyclone. in which hun
dreds Of people would be killed. The
story of this celebrated bird is an in
teresting one. Nearly two years ago
it was pet in the farm yard OF Alarm
er named Freeman, in Pauldlng county.
One of the children one day attached 9
sheep bell to the birds foot, and the
tinklino sound so scared it that it i'm
mediately flew away. The first night
out it alighted on the roof OF a negro
cabin in Heard county. One OF the IN
mates went out to ascertain the cause
of the bell-ringing, and Immediately
the buzzard rose from its perch and
flew away. The night was clear and
cold, and as the inmates rushed out
and beheld the great black object, and
heard the tinkling of the bell hundreds
of feet up in the air, great fear seized
them, and they all took to their knees
under the impression that the end OF
the world was approaching. Ever since
the bird has pursued its migratlons
through the state, arousing the fears
of the superstitious, who regarded its
visits as an omen Of evil. The negroes,
and many whites, too, along the track
of the late storm insist that they heard
the fateful bell about an hour before
the terrible wrath of wind had come
upon them. In 1917 q buzzard was
similarly belled in Putnam county, and
I'D until 1850, when its presence was
last reported in Green county, he was
vouched for as having visited points as

An exchange suggests that type-writing

public schools, because these arts or accom-
plishments are in growing demand. 1t is
not doubted that young man, upon
