frame OF an 11-year-old girl. She was

City, Mo-, to Cookville. Tenn. -Four
other children accompanied them, all

been in her present condition since birth.
She is unable to hold her unusually large

fathers arms. Her head measures 36
inches in circumference and is as round
as ball. The length from the chin to
the forehead is 10 inches. The neck is
thin and in proportion to her body. The

the English language fuently and can
sing well. The chi1ds body is poorly de-

UNION MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE co,


1t is not given to every man to live id

limited means do not decline to live In

while lis not within the means of all to

means will find itequally to their advana
tage to partake of such smaller sums
as may be within their reach. !.
Thus, when man is married and has
family around him, it is source of
pleasure to own absolutely the house Id
which they reside, but it Is obvious that
every one cannot own his abode, and just

Good Things In a Pamphlet.


There lived many years ago in Ireland
barrister of the name of Bethel, who
was rather proud of his attachments and
who liked to show them off in the writ
ing OF pamphlets. One of these, said by
those who have seen it to be anything
but valuable, was upon the subject Of
the union between Ireland and England.
Meeting witty acquaintance some
days after the publication of his PAM
phlet, Bethel was asked by him why he
had not informed him of its appearance
II wonder you didn't tell me you'd
written it, Bethel" said the witty &C
quaintance. 81 never saw it until yes-
terday. and only then by the merest &C
cident"
''Well, how did you like it?" asked
Bethel, who was fond of praise and was
anxious to hear what was Forthcoming
to crafty his vanity.
"How did like it?'' repeated the other.
''Why, it contained some of the best
things ever saw in pamphlet on any
subject"
II am very proud to have you say so"
said Bethel. VERY proud indeed. And
-ah-what were the things that pleased
you so much!"
"Mince pies" said the other.
"What?' cried Bethel, his face turning
purple. "a 9@
"Mince pies" repeated the other. II

INEEPENDEECR DAY.

Whilst We write these lines the air ia
resonant with the usual detonations
that usher in the Fourth OF July. We
are made aware by the loud reports of
bomb and all kinda of explosives that
this is the anniversary of the independ-
ence of the original thirteen colonies
from the mother country, and as we
glance along the line of our early his.
tory we are reminded of the emphasis
with which our fathers asserted and re-
iterated the independence of their coun-
try, and the pride and glory they in
dulged in on each recurring anniversary
of the day in which we declared our.
selves free. Out Of weak and feeble
nation, comparatively, we have now
emerged into one of the greatest powers
of the earth. Without boasting, we
may truly say that there is none of the
great powers OF Europe but envies US
the towering and invincible situation
we now hold among the nations.
Yet we have developed a wesknesn,
however, which may have many hsrd
experiences in store for ua. With a
country of boundless resources, with q
natural wealth within our own limits,
which no other country in the world
can bo2at; with almost an unlimited
territory within the latitudee that are
the most conducive to nations vigor-
QUE growth and prosperity, yet we have
allowed ourselves to become go en-
tangled in the financial policy of Eng
land that we ere today far from enjoy
ing the attitude of independence our
fathers achieved from the same country
over one hundred years ago.
Perhaps no text for Fourth of July
Grafton would offer more pregnant truths
or suggestive facts than one based upon
the achievement OF our second inde-
psndence from Great Britain--inde-
pendence not from her political control,
but from that insidious supremacy
which she has secured in this country
