The whites declare that the negroes shall not
vote, or ii they do, their votes shall not be
counted The negroes, who are largely in
majority, declare they will march to the
polls in body, and see that their votes go in
and if they are not counted they will know

the reach of medicine. They often say.
"Oh, 1t will wear away" but in most
cases it wears them away. Could they be

NOVEL MARRIA4E LICENSE.

Wherever the Anglo-Saxon emigrant
went he carried with him his reverence
for the law and an anxiety to obey its
slightest acquisitions. The first marriage
which took place in TazeWell county, Illi-
nois, illustrates this trait, one which is the
foundation of commonwealth. 1t was
in 1927, and the story, taken from the
diary of an old settler, is told by the Pekin
OILY Times:
Mordecai Mobley, first clerk (commis-
sioner's clerk then) of our county, hap
pened to call at "Father" Stout's home.
Here he saw Frank and Fanny Stout-if
related at all, distantly.
Father Stout told Clerk Mobley how
Frank had been courting his daughter
Fanny for some time and how they wanted
to marry, but didn't know how; that he
supposed there was q permit or something
to be secured first, for which it is not clear
in his mind where to apply.
Mr.. Mobley told him he was just the
man that he had authority to give per-
mits, and that he would do so then and
there.
"No."
"Any book?"
"Well. there " used to be an old book
about the house."
And the search was instituted, and an
old worn out book was found. In the book
was found, fortunately, a f1y-leaf.
"Now, then," continued the obliglng
official, "have you any pens?"
"None."
"Any geese ?"
"Nary geese"
"Chickens?"
"Yes, some big ones"
And the two went out into the yard,
and caught big chicken, plucked feather
from it, and soon Clerk Mobley had whit
tied out nice quill pen.
He now inquired for ink, and, Of course,
there was none but there was some gun
powder in the house, and by mixing some
water with a quantity of the powder, a
fluid was soon manufactured that would
answer the purpose.
Then the clerk sat himself down, and
wrote the permit that was to make the
two hearts happy.
And on the 9th day of June, 1927, Frank
and Fanny Stout were married by Rev.
Mr.. Brown, and all went as happy as
marriage bell.

HOW Pussy KILLS THE SNAKE.

The experience of fear has enabled DO.
mestic animals to discern the presence OF
the enemy, while invisible to man. Your
horse rears and plunges in the darkness,
trembles and sweats. DO not try to ride
on until you are assured the way. is clear.
Your animal has perceived far ahead two
scintillating points, two moving sparks
of fire. Or your dog may come running
back, whining, shivering. Accept his
warning. The animals kept about coun-
try residences have learned to fight for
their lives. The hen battles hopelessly
for her chickens, the bull tries to gore MS
supple enemy, the pig gives more successful
combat; but the creature who fears the
monster least is the brave cat. Seeing
snake, she at once carries her kittens to
place of safety; then boldly advances to
the encounter. She will walk to the very
limit of the serpent's striking range, and
begin to feint, teasing him, startling
him, trying to draw his blow. How the
emerald and topaz eyes glow-they are
flames. A moment more, and the TRAN
gular head, kissing from the coil, fashes
swift as if moved by wings. But sWlfter
still the strong stroke of the armed paw
that smites the horror aside, 1inglng 1t
mangled and gasping in the dust. Never
theless pussy does not yet dare to spring;
the enemy, still active, almost instantly
reforms his coil; but she is again in front
of him, watching-verticle pupil against
verticle pupil. Again the lashing stroke;
again the beautiful countering; the living
death is hurled aside, the scaled skin is
deeply torn, one eye-socket has ceased to
flame. Once more the stroke of the SER
pent; once more the light, quick, cutting
blow. But now the trigonocephalus is
blind, is stupefed. Before he can attempt
to coil, pussy has leaped upon him, mailing

THE BIRD OF WISDOM.

''The owl shrieked at thy birth; an evil
sign" is said to the luckless Henry W.
who was to see the throne Wrested from
himself and race, his queen and child n.y.
ing painting and desolate through the
land-the one to seek a lifelong and un.
honored exile, the other an early and un'
avenged death at a caitiff's hand, and tc
fall beneath murderer's blow at his own
royal palace, which he had known longer
as prison than home.

Beyond the fact or non-fact of the owl

aerie cry. Hespat poison upon those who
chanced to win his ill-favor, and the only
cure, if any, was to bathe at midnight,
when the moon was shining full, on the
Eve of the Dead. The North American
Indians name it the "Dead Bird" and il
after dusk they hear its screech in the
wood they call out to it in return; if no
backward answer comes their death with

Ganges the owl is sacred to Rahu, who
