The Elusive Lead Pencils.

What becomes of the lead pencils is as
insolvable problem as what becomes
of pins No one ever really uses up lead
pencils-no one drinks them, SO to speak,
10 the very dregs, unless it is one of
those admirable people who keep jour
nails and cash accounts, and who usually
carry sort of penholder arrangement
in which they insert a half length
pencil and go on and on using it and
sharpening it until it is all gone. Very
few people ever get pencils worn down
as far as half length. They disappear
before that stage is reached. What be-
comes of them ali? Hundreds of thou
sands of them annually are lent to young
children and never seen again. but what
do the children do with them: Do they
eat them up? Possibly.
Everybody has seen lead pencils the
upper end of which have been chewed
into brush. but children do not possess
such ostrich stomachs as would enable
them to consume all the pencils that dis
appear Boston Transcript.

lived about three miles south Of thi,
place, was burned to death one night
last week. Her grandchild was liv.

night, and the house caught fire,
burning everything. She was near
eighty years OF age. This is two
old persons who have burned to
death in our county within the pas,
two weeks. Such things are horrible
to think Of, and a great deal Of care
should be exercised where there is a
