A young man who had gone to the great

to tell of his unexpected success In finding
job.

Negro Distrust Of the Jay Bird.

Southern negroes regard the jaybird
with comically grave distrust. To them
he is the counselor, guide and friend of
the evil one himself. Tho amount Of con-
fldence established ages ago between the
devil and the jaybird is to the African
mind enormous. Plantation "uncles" and
"aunties' believe that whenever satan
can spare the time from his frying opera
tons he visits earth, and he and the jay
bird hold council of the powers, devising
ways and means wherein and whereby to
insnare the darby soul.
Before this combination the yoodoo
charm Of red flannel, flshbones scrapings
of human nails and hair from u dead per-
son Is of no avail. The rabbits foot Ia
powerless. The only defense is "rasslin"
In prayer. This is highly esteemed, as the
moro arduous tho "rasslin" the less work
will be done In the field next day. The
jaybird is safe from negro attack-safe
through fear.-Chicago Times Herald.

however, that ! discovered that had
welded out all the vegetab les save the
Aforesaid tomato plants and half Of the
flowers, and among the flowers that !
destroyed we're, regret to say, my wife's
favorite double peoples (Query: Is "dou-
Bile poppy" the father Of twins') and some
Marshal O'Neil and Glory de Dungeon
roses. The most precious product that
destroyed, however, was my wife's great
bunch of sunflowers. Too late learned
that my Boss (T)weed was that particular
kind Of flower But there is che glorious
thing about it-those women will not
ask me to weed the garden again. Little
by little am eliminating work from my
life, but the little lady says am doing 1t
on the same plan as weeded the garden.
