Jim Billets' immense Crawfish and His
81 Colo Warch's Exoerianca

BURGIN, ky. Oct 1s-Jim Billets. a
farmer in Anderson, north Of here. while
cleaning away some brush, lost his fine
gold watch which was jerked from his
pocket and landed in an immense craw-
fish hole. He made dash for 1t, but
discovered that the hole was OF untold
depth. He proceeded to dig it out, but
after having dug hole large enough to
hold the country church nearby he lost
the location of the crawfish hole and
gave up in despair
a few days afterward several school,
boys wire passing through the swamp
some distance from where Jim had ex-
cavated. when they discovered what was
the largest crawfish they had ever seen
emerging from an immense hole. They
all pounced upon the monster and killed
it. and around its body, in a tangled
mass, was wound a gold chain with jim S
valuable chronometer attached to the
other end
It'll is supposed that the watch fell upon
the monster when il disappeared in the
hole a few days previous. and that, IN
its efforts to escape. the chain became
fastened about its body.

Crane, an OIL, and more than middle
aged, resident of this town, is now, be
believes, in a fair way to punish at least
some of the persons who grossly Offend
ed him some time ago. Mr.. Crane took
to himself a young wife. His townspeople
did not admire his action and on the
night of the wedding showed their dis
pleasure by standing outside of his home
and making noises that were far from
respectful The old man could not iden-
tify any ot his deriders. but he hit upon a
unique plan to obtain evidence against
the perpetrators Of the action.
He. engaged a young woman resident IN
the town to go about at night attired in
male garb and talk about the insulting
serenade, paving 81. Cor her work. The
young woman has now 3 Est of names to
which. she says. the ders will am
swer, and Mr.. Crane says that they must
do the answering before a Justice of the
peace.
There is a lot of uneasiness among re
young men of the town. and quite q num-
her of them shift the converse ton when it
turns to the charivari.

A Cracker Eating Mule.

A friend Of mine who lives short
distance out In the country, has one OF
the strangest mules I ever saw said
a gentleman who is connected with one
Of the local livery stables, according to
the New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat, and
If did not know the facts of the case,
might be inclined to doubt them. To
come imm ediately to the point, the mule
has cultivated an appetite for soda
crackers, and I am sure if he had his
way about it he would eat nothing else.
My friend runs a store In connection with
his place. About a year ago he put a
box Of crackers out to one side CT his
store, as the crackers, for soma reason.
had become unfit for the trade The mule
happened to be hitched near the place
and the animal got TO rubbing his nose
around in the cracker box He found
that the crackers had a rather a greeable
taste and before he knew anything
about the matter. the mule had devoured
every cracker in the box. Since that
time the animal has simply been foolish
about soda crackers. He will eat all the
crackers given him, and on several occa-
sions he has been found trying to paw
boxes open which have been left on the
front porch of the store. He seems to
know a cracker box when he sees it. He
may know the sign or the picture on the
gcON, or ne may DE Simply guessing on
account OF similarity in size. But at any
rate he knows the box. and he will root
it off with his nose and try to break 1t
open by paving it with his hoofs. Since
his owner found out he was SO fond of
crackers he treats him to them OCCASION
ally, and this has only tended to make
the mule worse. He will quit eating
hay, corn. oats or anything else if you
shove a few crackers at him. and real
" he would go to it as a steady diet il

Profanity a Cruel Habit.

Rev. Frank Dewitt .Taln,age preached
a sermon in Chicago on "Pestitent Pro-
family" in which he said:
Profanity is a cruel ard cowardly habit
because it shocks the hottest feelings
and pierces the hearts of thousands and
hundreds of thousands of Chr;tians who
are unable by law to top this awful and
blood-curdlinS infamy.
THE blasphen!er is essentially a coward
because he ;nflicts suffering On persons
" no are powerless to retaliate or resist
It is a hard word. but I use the plain.
.unvarnished Anglo-Saxon word which de-
scvhes the cowardly act want you
5sTearers to realize the extent of the in
;uries which YOU are doing q gainst some
Of your fellow men when YOU swear in
public. want you to fully realize how
you are cutting and laceratng Christian
hearts with your blood-curdling oaths.
Try to put yourself in your Christian bro-
theirs place, who is compelled TO listen
every day TO the public Itterances of
profanity.
Profanity is a suicidal habit because
it runs directly counter to the expressed
commands of God. God will ultimately
punish those who take his name in vain.
The Bible directly asserts it. And that
God sometimes instantly Furnishes the
sin Of plaspheuy is also unquestioned-

Struck by a Stone When Boy, Pulls
Had No Trouble Until Recently
An operation was performed on Charles
Pulls. brother of Recorder Edward
Pulls. of North Bergen. N. j., has dis
closed the fact that he has been suffering
with fractured skull for twenty-five
years. When Pulls was eight years old
his brother Frank hit him with a small
stone over the right eye. The injury
caused him no trouble until three years
ago. when he began to suffer from a dull
pain behind the right ear. He continued
to grow worse. until one day last week
he suddenly became unconscious.
Dr. Justin, the family physician. was
called. He ordered his removal to Christ
Hospital on Jersey City Heights. Pulls
remained unconscious for two days. and
the physicians in attendance decided that
an operation would be necessary to save
his life. When they cut through the
scalp they found piece Of broken bone
at the base OF the skull behind the right
ear. There was evidence that the broken
bone was the resultao OF the blow received
when boy.

IN bathing; he never neglected q chance
for that
But at the same time he had to use
soma sort Of sumption. or We had to
use 1t for him. about where he went IN.
on account Of the danger there was from
oyerhows caused by his displacement OF
the water. | well remember how we first
came to realize this
About twenty rods or so below the
shows winter quarters there was a liz
tie pond formed by damming brook that
ran through our place There was a
small grist mill on this pond, turned by
one OF those old-fashioned overshot water
wheels.
The giant walked down to this lit:
tie pond one warm spring day just be-.
fore we took the road that year, never
thinking for minute Of what must
happen if he jumped into small body
of water like that suddenly. and plunS-
ed in.
Snakes and aIigators! The pond over
mill off it's foundations and carried away
the old wheel-it was like q flood you
know, Of course, down there at that end
and done about $3.50 damages.
Well! That opened our eyes you
know. to the necessity OF using some
sort Of caution about where to let the
giant go in swin1rlin. Obviously. It
wouldn't do for us to let him jump in
anywhere. into any little bit Of pond
that we might come across; it would
cost US too much money.
And SO he and the old man had an
understanding that he wouldn't go in
anywhere without the old mans per-
mission; and we used to keep him out
OF the water all we could after that.
