The Precious Herb.

Two girls, Bridget and Waburga, were going to
town, and each carried on her head heavy basket
full of fruit
Bridget was constantly grumblng, and moaning
continually, while Walburga laughed and joked by
the way.
How can you laugh so said Bridget. ''Your
basket is just as heavy as mine and you not
stronger than I am"
Walburga said: Il have placed certain herb
in my load, and SC. scarcely feel it,
All said Bridget, chat must be precious
herb l should like to tighten my load with it.
Pray tell me what is its name ~
Waburga replied: -@The precious herb which
makes every burden lighter is called PATIENCE.
Remember, Bridget, the old saying:
He easeth him of half his pain
Who doth not of his load complain"

CAMPING OUT.

Last summer We went
To live in a tent,
My father and mother and /.
And whene'er I'd choose
To take off my shoes
/ could wade in the stream close h,
All night in the dark
l would lie still and bark
To the frogs that were croaking SO near
And all day long '' ,
1 could hear the sweet song
VI the birds singing joyous and clear
Our breakfast we ate
AT half after eight.
And we had little fishes
In birch bark Dishes
And wild sweet berries / found.
One evening 1 heard
Sue. queer bird,
Twas big brown owl in a tree,
The owl cried. "Whooi whoo,''
And said. Il know you
I'm Tommy Jinks. don't you know me-"

LETTERS AND ANSWERS.

Dear Aunt Busy: Butte, Mont, Aug. /.
Do you believe in fairies! Ny uncle is always
telling us fairy Stories and / do not believe in
fairies any more I am nearly years old and am
going to study hard next year.
Good bye, Aunt Busy,
NELLIE MCMAHON.
Dear grille Aunt Busy firmly believed in fairies
when she was little girl and she believes in them
yet, but they do not come any more to Aunt Busy
because she is too old. Fairies only come to the
children, dear; so believe in the DEAR wee people
as long as you can, Nellie.
Aunt Busy is always glad to remember that she
and the fairies were good friends for many years,
but when she was about 10 years old the fairy folk
had to leave her to play with little girls and boys
much younger.
You know all about your guardian angel, of
course. Nellie; so do not forget to love her, and
never mind the fairy people now.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Your dear old auntie is away off among the
pines of Nevada, with the little chipmunks, SPUR
res, birds, bees and (speak it gently snakes-but
only baby water snakes.
There is the buest sky in the world above her,
and the most beautiful blue lake before her. while
in the background are perfect forests of pine trees
hundreds of feet in the air.
Aunt Busy feels nearer heaven here than she
ever felt before She hopes that the dear young
folks viii still write to her, because their letters
are all forwarded to her Goodbye for this time.
From among the pines and beside the blue water
comes love and best wishes from Loving Old
AUNT BUSY.

that he had forgotten for minute to be polite.

Jokes of Little Folks.

A four year old boy was with his mother in

One of the ladies said in his hearing: We're
lacking now"
The little boy looked up and down the boat and
over its side. Then he asked his mother: where
are the tacks, mamma? / don't see them"
A small boy of three once visited his Aunt
Name. After running around in the garden a
while, he came into the house. His Aunt Name
said: James, think you must have done some
thing, for your face looks so funny
NO" said James, Il did not that is only told

starting at 8:10o'clook last mig hit attrac-
ted thousands of spectator sto the spot,
as the report was current that the en-
tire yard was endangered and a great

There was big fire IN the yard, but
not to the extent reported.
The flames started in large barn
and stockade, IN which were confined
eight valu able mules. Above was stored
quantities of feedstuff, which was feeG
indeed for the flames.
Night Watchman Bibb first dlscov

In the meantime the fire had sprea,
to two large piles of lumber stacke,
near the barn
The mules were first rescued, afte

Second Bale Might Be Captured BY

Americas could easily bear off the
honor OF marketing the second Georgia
bale, if only one of dozen farmers in
Sumter would pick the scattered cot
ton on his farm and bring it in. On
some plantations there are several bales
open and the bolIs are fast cracking.
Mr.. T. B. Hooks, one of the most ex-
tensiva planters in the county, was in
the city yesterday. He stated that he
could easily get bale by picking over
only portion of his crop.
But he does not think it the part of
economy to pick the scattered bolIs.
