Twas Ever Thus.

The winter Days are now at hand
When silently through all the land
the snow will fall:
ifs dazzling whi,eness all around
Will drift above the frozen ground,
Deep over all.
Then the young lover haste will make,
And in a narrow cutter take
His girl ride.
And she will laugh, bithe and jocose,
Beneath the buffalo Struggled close
Up to his side.
Meanwhile at home his aged faith
Er will, to shovel out path,
The drifts attack;
And while Love holds the youth in thralI
The door old man at home will al
Most break his back.

killed large white owl in the woods neat
his home at Port Tobacco Station The bird
measured five and one half feet between the
tips Of its wings; was very large and much
heavier than what are known as the swamp
owl. Such a coored owl has never been seen
in this section, and Mr. Murdoch sent his

After great fire he said to her that
there was really no more danger in get
ting ont of a high window than out OF
one OF the first floor If there were nerve
and cool determination to hold on to
the rope or ladder. The peril lay, he
said. in furry and want of pluck. Were
some plucky girls to show women how
easy it is to make descents from top

not be so many. Miss Mortimer conse-
quently tried All the girls began with
perilous descents, and we're not trained

that they had very littla time to dress

with respect and sympathy. The OBJ

make known the best means of prevent
ing and putting out fires, and to make
insurance companies bear great part
of the expense of keeping up efficient
fire brigades, and provide for men
manned in trying to extinguish fires in
| insured houses.
Resolutions to this effect having been
carried, the young ladies came back
dressed in their uniforms. They had
red silk caps, dark blue short skirts, not
descending below the calf, soft leather
boots, neat bodices. with broad brass
buttons, and turned up with red at the

If there was any one in Macon who
had no faith in Hoodoos and charms a
few weeks ago, that person was Chief
Kenan. But at last all unbelevers are
brought around, and it appears this is
the case with the doughty chief Some
days ago he was suffering considerable
with neuralgia. After trying every rem.
edy under the sum- he at last came upon
a friend who had receipt, which he was
not caring particularly to reveal to the
chief, but, seeing the official in deep
trouble, he finally consented to apply the
remedy. Securing spool of black silk
thread, he cut off several bits. One he
tied around the neck of the chief, another
around his waist, another down the back
connecting the one from the neck with
that around the waist, and a fourth down
his breast, connecting in the same way
the two hands. This completed the out
fit. When the operation was finished,
the chief, with an incredulous smile,
asked what came next. "Oh, you will
talk different in few minutes" replied
the friend, with shake of the head. In
a minute the official felt a strange sen
sation in his face, and within five minutes
all pain had left him. To say that he
was amazed would be putting it mildly.
He has already given the cure to dozen
of sufferers, and now he is at work solv.
ing the problem of how he was cured.
As yet he has found no one who can give
the cause for it.-Macon ga. Telegraph.

Ecclesiastical Wheat Fields.

Some months ago Presiding Elder F.
A Burdick called meeting of all the
Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen dis
trict in South Dakota, and put before
them the plan of sowing acres of wheat
for the liquidation of the church debts
The pastors took to the idea, and after
talk with their people found the farmers
would furnish the land and do the work
if the church would furnish the seed.
The general societies Of the church,
which have their headquarters in the
east, then took hold Of the matter, and
shortly announced that the money for
the seed should be forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr.. Burdick said: I'VE hope
to have at least forty acres Of wheat on
every charge in the Aberdeen district,
and on some as many as sixty. As a
matter of fact the church at Bath has
already started the ball rolling with
sixty acres. The income from this source
will be applied altogether toward the
payment of church debts, and conf
IDENTIFY expect to see several cleared away
before another winter. Cor. Minneap-
