consists simply OF a plot OF ground
saot ABOUT as large as barn door Of extra
generous Size would cover. This is
surrounded BY a wire fence four feet
2Mgh. topped with ! broad, ,p-curving
4 u TN raj, which prevents the little
cll'oWn-like creatures from escaping. In
1 the the center OF this yard is a tree twenty
feet high and having many and heavy
limbs. Near tho base Of the tree is a
several foot square pool of water This
\ Pool marks two very exclusive, very
nota pie characteristics that distinguish
the coon from any other animal. The
4 POOL y the coon's christening and food
cleansing place. When coon gives
birth to young almost the first thing
she does Is to take her babies one by
on one In her mouth and, accompanied by
the father coon, proceeds slowly and
sooiemnly to the pool. Arriving at it's
brink. and while the dad coon stands
thoushtfully by, the mother baptizes
the little one beneath the wave with
All the decorum and solicftude that
Baptist clergyman immerses a candi-
date for church membership. After
lowering It gently down beneath the
surface and lifting it up again, Mrs
I Coon and her husband wend their way
Dack again to their family corner of
! tho yard. This service, solemn and.
staid, is continued by Mr.. and Mrs,
Coon until every mothers son of their
Just arrived offspring has been duly
chrlstened. Viewed soberly, It is real
y one OF the most unique, impressive
professional performances imaginable.
But the indescribabla droflness OF the
picture made by the wee husband and
Vile as they go through with the per
'1ormanco is inimitable, and smiles, if
not laughter, come to almost every one
who witnesses the serio-co1nic bit of
drama. Almost any hour any day in
the year you can find group of people
tossing bits OF goodies to the coons.
Upon picking up one Of these Mr.. or
Mrs Coon instantly, with the "goody"
held dalntily in its teeth, trots over
TO the pool and swashes the morsel
back and forth in the water two or
three times. Then returning to it's ia
vorite corner. or up to its favorite
crotch in the tree, the little chap sets
to deFouring it in a way SO dainty and
sedate rs to put food-gulping humans
to the blush. But OF course you would
mt blush at Clown Coon's etiquette.
There is so much original comedy in
every. move he makes in this food
cleansing and eating process that you
laugh in spite Of yourself. His very
appearance, particularly In motion, his
5udEe-like sedateness, and his display
Of Extreme Eeatness, his cxquisiteness
IN all things, form a subtle and sure
ticker for anybody's laugh spot. It
beats the funniest man the stage can
show. :S5# a q 5$ Y.

may be some sadness, because it Is un-
timely, and out of season. Gray hairs are
a crown of honor to the aged, but to the
young they are stigma. There is no need
to be gray in youth. Grayness comes from
a deficiency Of the coloring matter which
gives the hair its natural tint. This color.
ing matter can be, supplied artifcial1y
and is SO supplied by DR.. J. c. Ayers Hair
Vigor. It is by supplying TIE lacking
stores gray or faded hair to its original
color. Beyond this, it makes the hair
grow, gives it gloss and softness,. stops
It from falling, removes dandruff, and
c1eauses the scalp. Mrs. G. NJ. Ayres,
Mount Airy, Ca, writes; =.
"About three years ago, my head became
full of dandruh, which caused great an
noyance; after time the hair began
falling out. The use of DR.. J. c. Ayers
Hair Vigor stopped the hair from falling
out, and made the scalp clean and healthy"
Mrs. G. M. AiREs, Mount Airy, Ga.

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

TO heredity, to the transmission of
traits from sire to son, we owe most of the
possibilities of growth and development.
1t each newly born being started out anew.
without the force of heredity the level
OF life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
of feature, exceatricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc., are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental aud moral qualities IN
general. "A curious example of this de-
scent OF family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair is hereditary in our family.
AS long as can recollect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs of turning.
resolved to try Ayers Hair vigor, and
after using it only few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. I still
use this dressing occasionally, bottle
lasting me quite while; and though over
forty years. of age, my. hair retains its
youthful color and fu1lness. To all who
have faded and gray hair, would heartily
recomm end DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor."-Mrs.
