One day as a good citizen of Posey

tater bugs he observed small animal 81
some sort dodge into a hole In bank.
l.As tho hole is none too large for cat

nearer.
Standing off a few feet he examined the
hole with n critical eye and continued:
Eyes [ must infer also that the anima1s
cannot be n stray wolf. No large animal
can conceal Itself In small hole"
This was philosophy not to be disputed.
and after patting himself on tho back the
old man said:

excellence and quality. All that care
full attention, necessary to the selec-

Change OF Program and Special
Season Announced

a fairly well-filled house came ont
last night to see the Entertainers
although strange to say the gallery,
which one would imagine packed at
this class of entertainments, was very
indifferently patronized The Hawaiian
element, to whom vaudeville might be
expected to prove a drawing card have
not responded very vigorously this sea-
son.
Manager Henry Lee, trying to solve
the problem, has come to the conclusion
that there are practically two elements
of theater goers in this town and in re-
Spouse to a number of requests has def
nitely decided to extend the season aft
er tonight by playing a couple of nights
at the Orpheum, where those who like
to sandwich vaudeville acts with a CT
gar may enjoy the program and a
smoke at the same time The same
prices will be maintained but it is be-
lieved that while almost everybody will
go to a first-class vaudeville perform
ance at the Orpheum, there are a num-
Der who do not care to turn out at the
Opera House, where they feel it in
cumbent to go in dress or semi-dress.
f<tSS Is undoubtedly a QeSlFdDie lux
ury in tropical climate and there is
also the financial fact that the Or
pheum seats more people than the
Opera House.
Monday and Tuesday, then, will see
two special bills of the Worlds Enter
tainers at the Fort street house with a
change of program. each night.
! Amongst tonight's attractions is a
new act by Josephine Gassmann and
her picaninnies in the richest of Chi
nese costumes and the singing of Afro
Chinese ballads. Mr.. Lee caters also
to the Oriental with presentment OF

1t used to be believed that IA
vens lived longer than any other
species of birds, it was said that
their age frequently exceeded a
century, says the Albany Argus.
Recent studies of the subject indl-
cate that no authentic instance of
a raven surprising seventy years
of age is on record. But parrots
have been known to live one hun.
dred years. One lost its memory
at sixty and it's sight at ninety.
There is a record of a golden eagle
which died at Schenbrun at the
age of one hundred and eighteen
years. Another golden eagle was
kept in the Tower of London for
ninety years. A third died at vi
emma aged one hundred and four
years. Geese and swan are tena-
cious of life, and extraordinary
accounts exist of the great age
that they have attained. Button
and other authorities have cred
tied them with eighty and one
hundred years of life.

OLD RED HILLS OF GEORGIA.

You may talk TO me CT riches.
Found within the Western states,
Her fertile soil, mines of treasures,
Stored away near by the gates
Yet there's land / prize more highly,
Found within the Southern cline,
lis on the old red hills of Georgia,
Where I've wandered many a time.
l love the old red hills, where pleasures
In boyhood days / often found;
Her limited rocks, none such as those
Within our Western states abound.
The cooling streams I think of still,
That from those hills do flow.
Gushing from their rocky beds,
Their winding way pursue.
The chestnut boughs may still be seen,
Should Ger those hills you wander,
And oft-times when think of these,
In years would be younger,
That l might tread the path again
that's now; perhaps, forgotten,
And climb among the old red hills
Fen though the trees be rotten.
Come back childhood 3 days OF pleasure,
Thy return long again;
Rambling Ger the fields at leisure,
Where the sage brush drops its grain,
Gathering flowers that amid them,
Rare in beauty seldom grow.
For the pleasures of our childhood
OFT are found in these we know.
IT'S on the old red hills of Georgia
That my mind still wanders back,
And long to be among them
On the old familiar track:
Thus when life's song here is ended,
Though it should be sung out West,
To the old red hills, all, take me,
In their bosom would rest.

AMERICANS As LOaTERs.

There has been much published
In the newspapers about the loot
ing of the Chinese homes, stores
and public buildings by the sol
diers of the powers in China, and
in most of the accounts our own
soldiers have been declared to be
exceptions to the rule. In this
| connection the following extract
from the letter of soldier in the
Ninth United States infantry in
China, published in the Worcester
Spy, will be interesting:
eff | could have taken care of
and safely handled all the loot and
plumber which | had and could
have got, / would return to the
United States n rich man, easily
worth $4,000 to $4,000; but I
couldn't do it, and had to get rid
of what did fall into my hands as
quickly as possible. / sold nearly
81 900 worth of loot. / had silver
bullion galore, beautiful and costly
furs of all kinds, silk in abundance
and great variety of precious
stones and jewels, but l could not
carry it 30 had to dispose OF it as
quickly as | could. | sold 81 500
worth of pure silver bar for 5000
Mexican money, equal to 800 in
gold. l have often stated in my
palmy days that / would like to
have all the wealth l could carry,
and here is case where | have 1T.
But it avails me nothing, as the
poor enlisted man gets nothing
out of the affair but hard tack,
and with hut one-fourth rations at
that. Many of the officers have
secured enough of the affair to be
wealthy for life, and the higher
the rank the more loot they got.
When you read of the American
not looting, you can just wink the
other eye and be wise. The Amer
cans and the English were dead in
the game, and the English got
trlfie more than the Yanks, be-
cause they were trif1e smarter. "
