TICKLISHNESS

Why is it that one person is tick
lish and another isn't?' asked a man
who is fond of the unusual thing. II
have often wondered why men were
differently constituted in this way, and
nave never seen any. satisfactory an
sWer up to this time. Some men can
not stand to be touched in the side.
Others cannot stand to be touched on
the knees. They steal sugar. accord
ing to the nursery legend, and will
simply have fit if you should scrape
the ends of your fingers over their
knees. The bottom of the foot and
the palm of the hand are tender
places with other people. On the
other hand. there are men who are
not at all ticklish. I have seen tests
made with straWs about the ears and
neck without any sort Of disturbance.
The subjects, too, were reasonably
sensitive. I cannot say that they
We're not thin-skinned to some extent,
for / know many Of them were. But
they were not ticklish. AS a rule the
man whose skin is thin is the ticklish
man, but there are the usual eXcep-
tions to this rule. I suppose it is a
matter involving the nervous constitu-
ton, and if persons are unusually tick
lish 1 guess it is due to the fact that
the sense of touch is more keenly de-
yeloped at the particular parts of the
body which are peculiarly sensitive.
I can account for the vast difference
in persons in this respect in no other
way. 1t is simply question of a
highly developed sense of touch. =

SIMONSYILLE NOTES.

Halloween was observed here in
good earnest, number of depreda-
lions being committed. A valuable
dog was hurt SO that it went away
and died or ran away and the parties
can find no trace of it. One family
was preparing supper and cabbage
was thrown in the open door and
landed in a kettle that was on the
stove. Stones were hurled through
the windows and blinds and a chair
was taken from the veranda of Arthur
Tyler and as yet has not been re-
turned. We all know HalloWmas is
a feast day kept in honor Of all the
saints and Halloween is the eve pre-
ceding All Saints day, and while it is
all right for the young people to have
q good time they ought not be allowed
to steal and destroy.

YOUNG THINGS MARRY.

What is probably the. most peculiar
marriage license ever issued by q
state official of Virginia was prepared
by the county clerk of Gloucester re-
gently. The popularity in this in
stance lies in the extreme age of the
contracting parties, the man being 102
years of age and his intended wife 80.
The newly welded pair are Solomon
Lewis and his wife,. both respectable
colored people of this county. The

slave and belonged to the estate of
Thomas Fauntleroy of King and
Queen county. His first wife died
two years ago, after a married life of
seventy years. His grandmother was
born aboard slave ship while cross
ing to this country from Africa, and
lived to be ITO years old. His moth
er, who died in 1868, was 1O1. He
has a brother now living in Piney
Swamp at the great age of LOT, whom
he remembers as driving beef cattle
to Glocester Point for the American
army during the war Of 1912. Solo
mon claims to- have been born in No
vember, 1899, and thus was one month
old at the death Of George Washing
ton. The old man is somewhat bent
by age, but with the aid of a stick can
walk and carry himself as erect as if
he were only 81. The marriage of
the aged pair was a matter of great
interest to thes surrounding county,
and was witnessed by a large con-
course of white people as well as a
vast crowd of negroes Washington

NOVEMBER HUNTING.

Like her sister month, the tatters OF
whose gorgeous robes still cling in
hedge and tangled thicket, November
is sacred to the hunter. 1t is the
month when the wild folk of high and
low degree, feathered and furred,
have need of all the wonderful cunning
and instinct which all-wise Mother
Nature has endowed them. For now
does this same mother throw them
upon their own resources, as part of
her marvellous system of education
which,, handed down through. many
generations, becomes the development
of what we term instinct. Ruthlessly
has She torn asunder the protecting
cover Of closell hung leaves revealing
erstwhile secret retreats to whomso-
ever hath eyes to see. So it is that
wild folk who in midsummer, careless
in the seeming security of leafy fast
neSses, allowed a certain familiarity,
or at least. appeared to admit Of
slight claim to mountaineering, now
grow wary and ever alert with swift
foot or ready wing lest treachery be-
tray them.
As in October, quail, grouse and
squirrel shooting will take thousands
afield. Flocks of grouse are well bro
ken up by. this time and the birds are
usually found singly. Often October
quail of the summers second brood
are rather small, but now are they
plump and of full size. The bare tree

( GOLD FISH.

Directions for Caring for These At
tractiye Pets
Goldfish are the cleanest and least
troublesome pets, says a writer in
Good Housekeeping. A quart of water
to fish is sufficient. A medium sized
globe will accommodate four fish, and
containing some shells and a growing
plant, which can be bought of the fish
fancier, makes as very pretty orna-
ment for the room. The water must
be changed about once week in cool
and twice a week in hot weather.
With the cup gently dip out the fish,
one at time, and put them In a bowl
of fresh water which I have tried
with my fingers to be sure it is of the
cold better than heat. Then the globe
plant rinsed. After the shells and
plant have been returned and the
globe refilled the fish can be put back
the same as taken out, and they show
their appreciation of being at home
again. I have fed mine once a day
for nearly a year on oat flakes. about
two to a fish, and they flourish on
their diet. They soon learned to
SOnc " TIE Top dHu accept IOOQ from
my fingers. They should be fed
nothing else, except fish food, as meat
and bread are apt to sour the water
II, when cleaning the globe, I find par
ticles of food among the shells, I do
not feed them quite so much. They
must not have more than they will
eat, as it makes the water cloudy. The
intelligence they manifest seems won
defful to me. One usually rules the
globe" and it is not always the larg-
est. I have a little tyrant too greedy
to let others eat Until he has been
served, and he will chase one of his
mates twice his size. Goldfish repay
what little trouble they cause. They
are not especially suitable for children.
as they do not thrive so well when
tempered with. Let them live in
their own way and they will be happy.

WANTS NEW TRAIN
 ID THE DECATURS Action Yesterday by the Board
 of Trade. CLERK ON SELMA TRAIN
Congressman Underwood to Be Asked to Try and obtain One On This ln-sub-committe
 Will Act. T

A resolution was introduced at the meeting of the board of trade yesterday afternoon looking to the placing of train on the Louisville and Nashville be- tween Birmingham and Decatur, to leave Birmingham each morning and return each afternoon. The board requested Chairman Boardman of the standing com- mittee on suburban trains to investigate the advlsability of such train and re- port as soon as possible.
 The resolution was as follows:
 That the standing committee on su- burban trains, of which T. V. Boardman is chairman, be requested to look into the feasibility of getting q train from Bir- mingham to Decatur on the Louisville and Nashville railroad said train to leave Birmingham early each morning and re- turn each afternoon.
 Also that the committee report as soon as possible, and that the report be en- dorsed by the board of trade if favor able"
 VIII Act at Once.
 The matter will be taken up at once by MT. Boardman, and letters will be writ ten to the officials of the road, asking their aid in securing the train. The mer- chants of the city believe that such train will. open a large territory to Birm- ingham trade, which 1t Is difficult to reach at present. With a train leaving here each morning representatives from the Birmingham houses can go un the road, attend to their business, and re- turn each day.
 The train recently put on the Alabama Great Southern from Birmingham to Tusca1ooaa Marion and Selma and re- turn has opened new territory for the Birmingham merchants. Encouraged by the success in the previous undertaking the board of trade will push this matter and has reasonable hope to believe the request for the train will be granted
 Water Question.
 John W. Tomlinson, attorney for the board of trade, reported he had been be- fore the water committee of the city council and stated the wants of the board is more reasonable water rates for Bir- mingham. He said he had showed the committee that nearly every city in the south had lower water rates than Bir- mingham, and that it was found the municipal ownership meant low water rates.
 A resolution was introduced that the board of trade write to Congressman Underwood and ask his aid in getting railway mail clerk praced on the Ala bama Great Southern train recently put on from Birmingham to Selma via Akron and Marion. The board believes the success of the train would be materially increased with a railway mail service.

Mrs. E. E. Richards, 249 W. 10th St., N. Y. City, writesi
 "It Is certainly a pleasure to reconn- mend so reliable a medicine as Pe- runa. Last year my health was broken down, and 1t took all my courage and nerve force to drag around.
 My husband bought bottle of Pe- runa for me to try; and bless the day he did so, for my recovery started from the first dose and before month had passed felt like different woman, as l was we'll and strong."- Mrs. E. E. Richards.
 Peruna seems so admirably adapted to catarrhal troubles of women that it rare ly fails to instantly relieve and promptly cure.
 No sooner does q woman begin to take Peruna than she feels that cure is in sight.
 Sometimes 1t is necessary to take it for weeks and even months but the good effect becomes apparent at once and gradually continues until a cure is per fected.
