Takes a Recess Unit Thursday. De-
cember l4th
Like the court, the grand jury has
little to do aside from committee work,
and after two halliday sessions this
week has now taken ten days recess.
The body was in session yesterday
morning, disposing of some routine
business, and at noon took a recess
until Thursday, 14'h inst. By that
date it will ready to adjourn for the
term unless other cases requiring in
vestigation develop in the meantime.
This grand jury is composed wholly OF
business mer; one of the best ever as
sembled in Sumter county, and has
rapidly disposed of whatever business
it has been called upon to investigate
at this session of court.

Stir Yourself Today,

Are you time killer? Do you stand
about talking when you should be dis
posing Of duties that press upon you?
Do you hang around home when you
should be at your office?
Do you put off until $50 O'clock the
things that might just as well be done
at 8?
Do you lag through task instead Of
attacking it with all steam on and
pushing it through briskly?
Do you fritter away single hour of
the day that might be made useful in
benefting your health, improving your
mind OF helping your business?
If so, stir yourself You are out Of
the American spirit. You are not even
standing still. You are going back

Of America will leave you far behind

Don't be afraid Of a needle. It will

Select the proper size button before
you sew it on. Don't cut the button

Tibetan Children,

The children Of Tibet are neither cud-

tention to them. They have no sweets
and no playthings. If they are enter
tanned it is entirely through their own
effort or invention. And one diversion
never falls, for they are experts in rid
ing on the backs Of cows or horses, it
hardly matters which
A Tibetan baby differs widely from
other children in seeming to have little
nervous development and consequent
ly slight capacity for taking notice"
So, says the author Of a book on Tibet,
white baby living in Tibet with a
travelling party attracted the greatest
amount of attention. He was only an
ordinary child, but his Wideawake in
terest in life seemed to the Tibetans
something amazing. They would come
on tiptoe, their tongues protruding, to
stand and gaze at him, asleep in his
hammock, then holding up both thumbs
and putting out the tongue still farther
in token of appreciation. When it came
time for his bath and the tent was
closed on account of the draft, men and
women would pull up the flap about
the bottom, and the whole aperture
would be filed with dark faces and
laughing black eyes.

"Name the cavities" said a school

Chicago Inter Ocean. The boy was
very round. His body was round, his
eyes were round and his legs We're

his neck and twisted his round mouth
