Venice. Saturday night succeeded in find

old daughter Of Fred Mouiten. a member Of
the Venice Police Department, after nearly
every one in the city had failed in an ef-
fort to locate the child.
The girl rose in the early part Of the
night and wandered away from home. Her
mother missed her. and at first attributed
her absence to ktdnapers. Mrs. Moulten
was unable to discover her daughter any
where about their home. and then rushed
out on the street to notify her husband.
Mr.. Moulten happened to be at the City
Hall at the time. and he summoned a
brother officer and a number OF other citi-
xens;t Join in the search.
After a fruitless quest In the neishbor-
hood Of the Moulten home the party re-
turned to the City Hall to discuss plans
for charging the scope Of the search. As
they were talking .Jeffries'' came up with
the little girl by his side. Just where or
how the dog found the girl no one is able
to say.

Con Duration Traditions That Are
Credited Among the Older
NeAro People.

The stern frown OF the preacher,
Who looks upon supe: stition as the
ally OF the evil one, the scornful sheer
OF the teacher, who sees in it part
of the livery of bondage, have driven
this quaint combination of ancestral
traditions TO the remote chimney cor
ners of old black aunties, from which
it is difficult for the stranger to I'M
earth them. Mr.. Harris, in his Uncle
Remus stories, has, with tine literary
discrimination, collected and put into
pleasing and enduring form the plan
tation stories which dealt with ami
NAL lore, but so little attention has
been paid to those dealing with So
called conplration that they seem in
fair way TO disappear without leav-
ing d trace behind. The loss may not
be very great, but these vanishing
traditions might furnish valuable
data for the sociologist in the future
study of racial Development, says
Charles W. Chestnut. in Modern Gull

THE EARTH STAR.
Queer Member Of the Plant Is inId ON
That Travels from One
Place To Another.

Farth-Stars are members of the
plant kingdom. writes Nina l.. Mar
shall. i'm 81. Nicholas. and are closely
related 10 the puff balls with which
all country boys and girls and all fire
qucuters of the woods are familiar;
they ripen their spores or putf-ball
seed IA round brown balls as the puff
balls do but are unique in their won
dcrfu manner OF scattering their
spores For this purpose the plant
develops "A tough outer coat to she
ball. which ON "a damp day, when the
spores are ripe. SWellS up. splits, and
rolls back from the summit to the
base To form star about the ball.
The round ball al the center of the
star then opens at its summit and
waits quietly for fair weather favor
able for travelling. The first day aft.
er these preparations the earth
star breaks its connections with the
part of the plant which is in the
ground. and which up to this time
la, fed and nourished il and held ii
firmly in the ground. curls up the
rays of the star over the puif-ball,
and lets the wind roll il over the
fields and wherever ii will. while il
pulls out the spores and scatters
them far and wide Some observers
have stated that when the dewS of
evening fall the plant unrolls the
star-points until they again lie fiat on
the ground and firmly anchor the ball
where il may rest until another fair
day comes round in which. in com
paoN with the wind. il may resume
it, travels. The carth-starS are not
common. but still one on the alert
may expect 10 find them ON damp
wood roads, and viii be well reward
ed if he takes one home TO watch the
raye of the star curl and uncurl when
subjected alternately to dry and
moist air.
