water carrying the refuse from outhouses,

is thought that there is q mistake In the

there that the conduit has been mixed up

Stick to Your Bush.

Several boys went into chincapin
thicket to gather chincapins, and the
most of them kept running from one
bush to another, to find the place
where they grew in the greatest abun-
dance, and were the easiest gathered
When the hunt was over it was found
that the boy, who had stuck to one
bush until he had picked all he could
find thereon, had twice as many
chincapins as any Of the rest. He
explained his success by saying that
he had used oil his time picking
chincapins. If you have IN occu
