Vided for and had forgotten the slght
and taste of luxuries before grew old
enough to discriminate between the old
days of plenty and our later poverty.
It was my unreplenlshed store OF play
things that most troubled me; 1t dimin-
lshed gradually, day by day, and there
was no visible source Of a new supply.
At my seventh birthday l would have
given fortune, had l boosted one, for
O knife, and / had never owned one.
IN fishing, In shooting, In countless
emergencies, my one crying need was
for knife. Zeke, one Of the negroes,
gloated over the possession OF a broken
case-knlfe, ground sharp and pointed,
and this sometimes succeeded in bor-
rowing; but Zeke handled 1t lovingly
and guarded 1t with a vigilant eye, SO
that dared take no liberties with 1t.
To insure continuance OF his favors l
always adhered strictly to the terms Of
the loan and never cut ramrod beyond
the stipulated number.
Peace came at last and brought home
my father, and two of the three broth
ers who had gone to the war, and for
\ time was fully satisfied. Soon the
stores were filed with bright and pref
ty things, but they were costly and we
were now poor.
Thus came to be II years old, with
the same hunger still keen in my heart.
No later happiness has ever surpassed
that of the eventful day when my
hearts desire came to me, and my
father laid in my palm the prettieSt
knife had ever seen. When next /
went to school / had advanced much
In my own esteem; had my brand new
knife in one pocket, nine true and tried
marbles in the other and in my book
sack a long elder pop-gun for shooting
China-berries or hog-haws.
From time immemorial the pop-gun
has been the favorite summer toy Of
the southern boy, and no commercial
ammunition could be invented to sup
bly, that weapon so flttlngly and SO eff
paclously as the berry Of the china
lree, everywhere 30 plentiful here. I
was expert at making and using the
weapon. Given human target, l could
insure a blister for every berry.
Alas, soon discovered that the heart
Of even a boy is rarely satisfied. Joe
Cooper, a boy four years older than
myself, had come by FIVE large marbles;
They were ringmen-two buckeyes"
and three stripes" and they appealed
powerfully to my covetous little soul,
The luster of my nine tried old friends
paled beside them-their glory had de-
parted forever.

Bauntered along together, what will
you take for 'em?"
"What'll you give?" Joe answered.

One of the strangest phenomena ever

= One of the strangest phenomena ever
witnessed in that section is to be seen
upon the farm of Theodore Roberts,
four miles from st. Crolx, Ind. Last
spring he planted five acres in pop
corn, and few days ago he noticed
that the shucks were abnormaIly swol-
len and that the ear seemed to be
larger than when it began to ripen, a
thing contrary to corn, as shrinkage
is the rule. Mr.. Roberts examined
some Of the corn and was surprised
to find that seven-eighths Of the grain
had popped open and were capped with
the white pulp as though they had
been in the fire. The phenomena is
attributed to the hot weather that pre-.
vailed two or three weeks age. II
must have been a populist corn field.

Interesting Facts as TO the Collection
and Treatment of Feathera

Interesting Facts as to the Collection
and Treatment of Feathers
AS is we'll known, feathers, especial
ly those of the ostrich, are used more
from year to year as garniture for hats
and dresses, says the Philadelphia
Times. The color scale Of the Paris
syndlcal chambre glitters in all the
glarlng colors of the rainbow and q
number Of changeable tones was lncor-
porated likewise, all of which are APP
piled to feathers. Vienna and Berlin
strive with each other for the control
Of the ostrich-feather market. The
Vienna manufacturers are adopts in
the art of imparting an excellent ap-
pearance to even the worst raw ma
terial, Even the so-called spadonnas,
the hairy tips of the tail feathers of the
young ostrich, which are Of an inferior
value, they understand how to beautlfy
by dyeing and plating as II they were
prime No. /. BY plating means the
patching together Of single pieces to
obtain a full first-class feather, and al
most every feather, even the costliest,
is plated. This applies principally TO
the feathers of Vienna manufacture"
The Berlin ware, however, is still hon
est, and for this reason its manufac-
turers have difficult strife with those
of Vienna. The Berlin manufacturers
thoroughly understand the bleaching,
dyeing, steaming and curling of the
feathers, and besides they use a
superior raw material. 1t is astonish-
ing to read of the quantity Of ostrich
feathers annually used in the civilized
world. Newspaper articles sometimes
speak in exalted terms Of the rocco
time, with its extensive use Of feathers
used by rich and noble ladies, but the
total amount used at that time fades
from view when compared to that used
at present. The data of the six annual
auction sales held in London in 1894
show that in all of them 39S,774 pounds
were disposed of, at value Of f5S4,O00.

A curious story comes from Balti-
more. A woman called Mrs. Isaac
Asher left her 2-months-old baby in Its
cradle while she went out ON neces-
sary marketing trip, and when she re-
turned the baby was dead and had died
in most unusual manner. Numerous
rats had swarmed up onto the cradle
and gnawed It's face, head and neck SO
grievously that death resulted. This
remarkable story is authenticated by
eminent Baltimore physicians.

ing over $4,000 inhabitants. The result
Of his labor appears in the July num-
Der Of the Journal. The list contains
twenty-five cities, beginning with
New York, with nearly 100000 inhab-
itants, and ending with Indianapolis,
with over 100000 inhabitants. The
longest ride for Scent cash fare in
miles is as follows: New York, 1914;
Chicago, Is; Philadelphia, 11%; Brook

The instinct of the plain people has
been right in not calling our oriental
visitor "Lee," for, acting out his name
as popularity pronounced, this willy
diplomat has, in England as well as
here, required English to be translated
to him, whereas 1t now appears that
for years past he has spoken 1t fluent
". This Chinese device Of a needless
interpreter is a "first-chop" one to
gain time for giving answers without
causing the delay to be noticed; the
mandarin has the time taken in trans
lation for reflection. and, If further re-
Election is desired, ambiguity in inter
probation may be pretended and a new
form of the question required. And

A Fatal Bouquet.

Haynes Of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, fastened
a buttonhole bouquet upon the left side

fell in such manner that the needle
stuck into the body, piercing the heart,
