A Colonial Calf.

In 1881 Thomas Dudley, deputy gov ernor of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, wrote the Countess of Lincoln a letter of nineteen pages, in which he tells her an incident in the early his tory of the colony that would otEer- wise have been forgotten. It goes to show that the Puritan forefathers, even the staid magistrates, had some humor. The matter was fresh to the mind of the writer, for he closes his letter by saying, q am now this twen- ty-eighth of March, 1631, sealing my letters"
 Upon the Twenty fifth of this March, one of Watertown, having lost Calf, and about ten of the Clock at night, hearing the bowling of some Wolves not far off, raised many of his Neigh bors out of their Beds, that by Dis. charging their Muskets near about the place where he heard the Wolves, he might so put the Wolves to flight, and save his calf.
 The Wind serving fit to carry the Re- port of the Muskets to Roxbury, three miles off, at such time; the Inhabit- ants there took alarm. Beat up their Drum, Armed themselves, and sent Post to us to Boston, to Raise us also.
 So in the morning the Calf being found safe the Wolves affrighted, and our danger past, we went merrily to Breakfast.

PeOns of Mexico.

The typical peon, indifferent to change and progress, is atfectionate and faithful in all family relations and sets an example in domestic life which might be copied with advantage by many Americans, says the Southern Workman. Old age is respected and cared for and Mexican beggar is rarity.
 The artistic tendencies existent in his mixed and ancient ancestry are by no means extinct in the peon of to- day, and especially Is this true of the Mexican women, who display, in their love for flowers and music and the beautiful generally, tastes which are none too universal among white peo- pie in this western country. As q worker, also, the Mexican woman is infinitely more industrious and faithful than the man. She is a good mother, generally speaking, although he" chil- dren, as a rule. betray singular lack of grit.
 The boys seem worse than the girls In this respect. tap on the shoulder from the mother will cause an Swear old boy to yell for ten r''utes, un- ashamed and uncorrected. Boys at play together burst into walls concern ing injuries, mental or physical, minute to Instability. At the same time, how ever, it must be conceded that the fiendish whoops in which the Amer ican boy voices his reasonless ecstasy are conspicuous by their absence. New ertheess, when the Mexican is grown and has imbibed to excess of new wine, he will make up for more subdued past by sounds as hdeous and maniacal as any American youngster can present to a shuddering audience

Adot,t American Skirt.

London is adopting the American fashion in women's riding skirts; the old form of side saddle skirt is giving way to the new style for riding astride. It is claimed for this skirt that it is more healthy and certainly more secure than the old style, while 1t has the great advantage of devel- oping the figure equally on both sides. As is well known, the side saddle inva- riably makes the wearer larger on the one hip than the other, defect which has to be met by making young pupils ride first on one side and then on the other. The new style has become quite popular with the women of the Ex- moor hunt, while many others in differ ent parts of England have also adopt ed it.
 The side saddle skirt is a compara- lively modern invention, being intro duced by Anne of Luxembourg the queen of Richard IT,, who gave utter ance to the royal dictum that women were no longer to r,de astride, but were to use the side saddle as she did. That this order was needed by the women of the land is noted by Knighton, who tells us that by 1911 "the side saddle had become general among ladies of the first rank at tournaments and in public"
 So much appears to be fact; but the story prevails that Queen Anne had one leg longer than it really ought to be, and to hide this deformity she in- troduced the side saddle skirt.

Pith of a Tree Used as Food.


 According to the report of NJ. k. Gallerand, French scientist, the Sakalaves of Madagascar use the pith of certain palm tree as an article of food.
 The tree is found in the Ambongo region and is known as the satranabe. According to Pernir it is the Medemia nobilis, nearly related to the Fly phaene. In that region the satranabe covers vast spaces either along the seacoast or bordering rivers. After cutting down the tree the natives take out the pith, which runs from four to ten pounds per tree, then dry, powder and sift it, thus forming q kind of flour. Some of this flour was sent to Marseiles to be analysed at the indus trial laboratory. Scientific American.

SAW HIS MISTAKE.
NONNONN~-ON~/

It had long been almost proverb in the village that Jedediah Perkins didn't know chance when he saw one" The public discussion of this falling had often come to Uncle Jeds ears, and had sounded loudly in them. Worst of all, he had to admit that he was, in the language of his neigh bors, easy" He paid the most for what he bought and got the feast for what he sold of any man within Il dozen miles.
 But Uncle Jed saw chance at last. A railway runs close to his house, and in the middle of winter during tre- mendous snow storm, Il passenger train was stalled in the cut through his south pasture, and was unable to go forward or back.
 After it had been there about half day Uncle Jed saw his chance. There were hundred or two hungry passengers, eager to buy food. He had large store of ham and bacon. He would have Aunt Sarah make it up into sandwiches, and they would clear small fortune.
 'So that's what we done," said Uncle Jed, telling of it afterward. I've made up every bit of ham in the house into sandwiches, and took 'em down there and offered em for sale for quarter apiece.
 "Now 1 cal'lated a mans hungry's them folks would be willing to pay a quarter for good big homemade sandwich, but they held back. They was plenty would pay dime. l could "a sold out twict over at a dime each but only sold five at quarter
 "Tll wait till they git hungrier, s's l. I went outside and set on Il snow pile, and watched them fellers shoveling out that train. Seemed to me they want like to git the train out before next summer, so l didn't hurry about going aboard again with them sandwiches. Jes' as 1 made up my mind it was time, though, along in front come one of them rotating whirligig blows they sent up from the other way, and before you could say Jack Robinson away went the train behind it through the cut it made.
 "Well, sir, as l sat there watching, that train hadn't gone morn two hun cred yards before I see I had made a great mistake not to sell them sand wiches fer ten cents. I see it plain as could be. An Pm seeing it yet, for Aunt Sarah an me has been living on ham sandwiches fer three weeks, and they ain't half used up."

Newport News, Va., July 22, 1903.
 Last summer while recovering from ill., ness of fever, had severe attack of Inlcmmatory Rheumatism in the knees, fro:l which I was unable to leave my roo.:l for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of linaments and medicines which seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading paper saw an advertisement of s. s. s. for Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I had taken three bottles felt great deal better, and I still continued to take it regularly until I was entirely cured. l now feel better than for years, and I cheerfully recommend s. s. s. to any one suffering from Rheumatism.

VOTES ARE COMING IN
STATE ELECTION BOARD TO MEET
 LATE THIS WEEK.
Work of Counting Was Slow Owing to the Complex Ballots--ThIrty- Three Supervising Boards
 Have Reported

Secretary of State f. R. McDavid and Chief Clerk A. C. Sexton, were busy all of yesterday listing and classifying the early election returns sent in from the County Supervisors.
 It is estimated that all the returns will have been made to the Secretary of State by "wednesday. Already thirty three Counties have reported.
 It was noted in the office of the Sec retary of State that few Supervising Boards did not meet Friday, but Sat- urday, forgetting the later statute regulating the counting of votes. The election prior toAthe last election
 was conducted under a statute which provided that the supervisors should
 meet on Saturday next following the
 election and canvass the returns. The present law compels them to meet on Friday for the same purpose, as it ia thought that as the violation is nominal no contest will result from the over- sight.
 The Boards of Supervisors have ten | days after the election in which to | forward the returns to the Secretary l of State. Therefore. they could have met Saturday and performed their la-
 bors as will as on Friday. The State Election Board. Composed of acting Governor Cunningham, Score | tary of State McDavid, and Attorney
 General Wilson, will meet near the end
 of tahe week or the first part of nxi week to declare the results of the elec- tion. The bollot was very complx this year and the task of totalling the votes of the counties is tedious. 1 The State Board is allowed under the
 statute fifteen days after November | 8, in which to dclare the election re- | suits.

 The casket was literally covered with beautiful flowers, many of which made into handsome designs, which were sent by friends as tokens of love and esteem. A floral wagon had to be used to convey the mass Of flowers to the cemetery. The funeral procession moved from the church to oakwood Cemetery. where the body was inferred in the family lot.
 The following gentlemen, personal friends of MT. Massie, acted as pail bearers: W. A. Gayle. A. M. Baldwin, George M Marks. F. G. Hammond, W. Nj. Marks, ]. W. Kelley, R. T. Goodwin and Ed c. Fowler.

 He took the instrument and began to play The melody just as he had done once before. She did not lift her head. and when he had finished he laid the violin down on the messy carpet; but lie did not walk away this time; neither did he place the shawl around her shoulders. for it was already there. He knelt beside her and. taking the hand which lay in her lap, he whispered: Are those tears tonight for a lost loverT
 She did not reply.
 Are you sorry I've come backT
 She placed both her hands in his. while her head dropped until it reached his breast. She was not weep ing now, for she smiled as she said: Those tears were for a lost lover. but he has returned now, and am happy again."
