Constable Tip Stevens is making
record as a strong man. He is going
about it in painful manner though.
In working on the road near the rock
crusher the other day it became neces-
sary to lift 4 rock about the size of a
cara small car--and place it on a
wagon. With a 70, heave no, all
together, and some other little grunting
which it isn't necessary to mention, Mr.
Stevens lifted thel dod-rotted rock
higher'n a house and let it come down
on the wagon, but it slid, sled or slowed
and it was only by a mighty effort
Mr.. Stevens managed to keep it on by
bracing himself and bracin@ his brawy
breast against the rock. In doing so he
cracked rib but didn't know anything
about it until several hours later. We
have notion to ask, "lsnt that sad?
but refrain for fear it would make Mr.
Stevens mad. Davis City Lariat.

In France.
A very curious, even an extraordi.
nary, fact is related by DR.. Quintard
in the Annales Psychiques. A child of
six or seven years, in good health. live
ly and robust, belonging to equally
healthy parents, showed a strange
facility in learning all that his mother
taught him. He recited the whole
multiplication table at the first trial,
solved instantly complicated problems
and made not single mistake in his
first spelling lessons. 1t was soon
realized that the child did not calu-
cate by himself and did not spell Of
his own accord; he was reading his
mothers mind, and he did this even
when his eyes were shut and his back
turned, provided only that she were
near him. One day she had the idea
of interposing a screen between her
and the child, and then there was no
more calculation, no more spelling;
the screen was sufficient to prevent
the child from reading the mothers
thoughts.
