BETTY AND THE BEAR.


In pioneers cabin out West, they say,
A great big black grizzly trotted one day,
And seated himself on the hearth, and began
To lap the contents of two-gallon pan
Of milk and potatOeS-an excellent meal
And then looked about to see what he coulu
steal.
The lord of the mansion awoke from his sleep,
And, nearing a racket, he ventured to peep
Just out in the kitchen, to see what was tnere,
And was scared to behold great grizzly pear.
So he screamed in alarm to his slumbering
frOlU,
"Thar's bar in the kitching as big as a cow!'
"a what?" "Why, BARI "Well, murder him,
them"
Eyes, Betty, L will, if you'll first venture in
While the man shut the door, and against it
he squeezed.
As Betty then laid on the grizzly her blows,
Now on his forehead, and now on his nose,
Her man through the keyhole kept shouting
Within
"well done, my brave Betty, now hit him agin.
Now rap on the ribs, now knock on the

Now poke with the poker and poke his eyes
OUT
So, with rapping and poking, poor Betty
alone,
At last laid Sir Bruin as dead as a stone.
Now when the old man saw the bear was no
He ventured to poke his nose out of the door.

Then off to the heighbors he fastened to tell
All the wonderful things that that morning

Money in Chickens.

The Augusta Chronicle says: at is
strange that more of our farmers do
not pay attention to chickens as a
money making crop. In the current
issue of the Agriculturalist a Volusia
county poultryman gives information
as to the profits of poultry. He start
ed by investing $500 in the business,
and keeps 800 fowls, that occupy an
area of two acres. He has a contract
with local grocers to take his eggs at
2 cents each the year round. He sells
his old stock in the fall at 80 cents
each, or 12t cents per pound. In the
spring he sells young ROSTERS two
months old for 25 OF so cents each.
He raises about 800 chickens each
winter, saves one third of the best and
sells the balance. He has kept an
accurate account of his poultry bust
ness for years, and says that his net
profit each year from eggs alone is
$40. He devotes about three hours
each day to his chickens. Almost any
of our quito town farmers could give
a couple of acres to raising few hun
dred chickens of some good breed.
The farmers wife could take special
charge of this industry and make
several hundred dollars a year on it.
1t is entertainment as well as employ
ment. There is something fascinating
in the work. We are surprised that
more farmers wives do not engage in
it,

Petrified Body Found in a River Bot

Petrified Body Found in a River Bottom.
COLUMBIA, s. c., November 1.-THE
body of a man with features. hair and
all portions of the entire body, petrifi-
ed perfect stone man, formed by ma
ture without the aid of the sculptor
was found in Saluda river yesterday
five miles north of the Congaree bridge
by Mr.. w. M. Buff 1t seems that Mr.
Buff was looking after his fishing nets
and ran his boat down to the mouth OF
the creek. The river being very low
and the creek being lower than ever
before, he saw three or four inches of
the toes protruding above the water
He at once proceeded to his house, not
far distant, and taking his son, Mr.. j
E. Buff, and Mr.. w. B. Shut, they pro.
ceeded to the place and began to I'M
earth their rich find.
The curiosity is evidently the form
of white man, judging by the hair
mustache. etc. The finger and toe
nails are plainly seen. The petrifie6
body is over six feet long and weighs
over four hundred pounds. Some hold
to the theory that the body is the
petrified form of one of the original
inhabitants of this country. who gave
the name to the river in which it was
found

SHORTEN SHY AND HERBERT sPEN'

While read Herbert Spencer,
But still the more read ana feau
MY ignorance grows denSer;
For Shorten Shy decrieS my tasue
And tells me every minute,
Say, papa, don't like that book,
There amt no lions in II"
Now Herbert Spencer is great,
A world-cOmpelling thinker:
No heavy plummet line or tfubn
Goes deeper than his S1nker.
But one man reads his work way bnfouSH
For thousands that begin 1t.
They leave one-half the leaves uncut
There amt no lions in 1t.
The age-old errors in their den
Does Herbert Spencer throttle,
And ranks with Newton, Bacon, Manu.
And ancient Aristotle.
The mighty homage of the few
These towering giants win IL,
The millions shun their hunting ground,
There amt no lions in 1t.
leave this metaphySic swamp,
Thick grown with sturdy Sc1onS,
And roam the Meadows of Romance,
With Shorten and his lions,
He brings his gaudy NOah's Ark BOOK
And begS me to begin 1t;
Better than Hubbut Pencer book,
That amt no lions in it"
Now wead about the efalunt
So big he scareS the people:
An wead about the kangerwoo
Who Jumps up ON the 'teeple.n
So take up the Noah's Ark book,
And sturdily begin it,
And read about the "efaluntS
And lions that are in it.
Shorten will grow in soberneSS,
His life become intenser.
Some day he'll drop his ''efalunts"
And take up Hebert Spencer,
But life can have no happier years
Than glad years that begin it,
And life sometimes grows dull and tame
That has no lions in it.

Religious Names.

The Arminians took their name from
their leader, Arminius, born in 1866,
died in 1906 Their doctrines are still
held by several Methodist bodies.
The Bernardines were SO named
from st. Bernard. who founded the
famous hospice in the Alpine pass
which bears his name, about 962.
The Gnostics were thus named from
the Greek word meaning ito know
They claim a larger share of revela-
tion than fell to the lot of others.
Protestants were at first so called
because their representatives protested
at the Diet of Spiers, in 1929, against
the action of the emperor.
The Camisards, a French religious
sect. were so called from the smock
frock worn by the peasants, who con
stituted the larger part of their num-
bers.

make the greatest amount of money and the

ideas are usually dismissed without thought.
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back, the sauce
pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things that al
most everyone sees some way of improving

bring the greatest returns to the author

Use it in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is
in fact, the great enemy of the mucous
melnbrance. Neglected colds in the
head almost invariably precede ca.
tarrh, causing an excessive flow OF
mucus, and if the mucous discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, a roaring
and buzZing sound in the ears and
oftentimes very offensive discharge
Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged
cure for these troubles.

nests so long as one egg remains in it,.

trick common among housewives of
placing china egg in the nest and

which the snake had been unable TO
