A Pet WOOdchuck,

A woodchucE, black as a AMI
fat as woodchucks ever are, is owned
by Thomas Burkett, who lives in tue
Crawford addition, and is a curiosity
worth mentioning, as black wood
chucks are not seen every day. About
three years ago Mr.. Burkett caught
the animal when it was in its infancy
and took it home. Since then it has
grown to be as much of a pet as a KIT
ten and is far less trouble. Living the
life Of a pet woodchuck does lot pre-
vent him from fulfilling his part as a
weather prophet, but he takes his win
ter nap, as others of his race, only TO
awake on the second day of February
to see if his shadow is visible. If il is.
back he goes to sleep again for the
next six weeks. Last winter a coz
box was put in the cellar for him and
there he slept. -t'all Creek (Pa.) Her

TRIP ON HORSEBACK
Captain Donald MacRae and Party
are EnrOute From Baltimore to
Linville. N. O.. on Horseback.

Captain Donald MacRae and a party
of friends are taking a novel trip, that
is novel for these days but it would
have been a very natural one seventy
five Or a hundred years ago. They are
making the trip from Baltimore to
Linnville, Il small town in Mitchell
county, North Carolina, where is 10
Gated Captain MacRae's summer home.
Those in the party are Capt. MacRae,
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. II. Symingtont and
Miss Clark. Mr.. Symington formerly
lived in Wilmington and was superin-
tendent of motive power of the At
lantic Coast Line. He now lives i'll
Baltimore.
The party of ~equestrians. had ar
rived at Roanoke, Va, yesterday. They
are taking the trip leisurly and enjoy
ing the beautiful country through
which their curse lays. Their
route carries them along through the
foot hills of the blue ridge mountains
and after they reach North Carolina
they will bear further to the west
ward and into the heart Of the blue
ridge. A trip through the mountains
at this season Of the pear is delight
full for the weather is generally fine
and the forests beautiful.

Predicament of Several Members Of
"Sign OF the Four Company That
Wandered From the Train ~ q
Small Station.

The "Sign of the Four" company
which appeared at the Academy Of MI
sic last night came very near not ap-
pearing with its full quota
The company came to Wilmington
from New Bern and while enroute 10
this city the train stopped at a small
station for water. Several members
of the company thinking it would re-
Quire some minutes to take on the re-
quired water, left the train and went
out into a cotton field that was along
side Of the track. When northern peo-
pie come south they look upon cotton
as a great curiosity, and the members
of this company no doubt wished ID
send a few bolls to northern friends
and tell them how they gathered III as
a train took on water at a small sta
ton. Those VINO went into the fed
got some cotton. but it is to be doubted
if they had it in their possession
when they gor on the train. The parry
were gaily picking cotton when to
their surprise they heard the engine
give several short puffs and looking UP
they saw the train pull away. They
made a dash for the train, but just
after leaving the water tank it had to
pass through a cut. One member Of
the company-it is said to have been
the actor who takes the leading part
~endeavored 10 jump down the embank-
ment and in doing so fell and came
very near breaking his leg. The Ocl-
ers did not show such determination
to get on the train. The attention OF
the conductor had by this time Deen
called to the predicament of the CO.
ton picking members of the troupe
and he pulled the train down and gave
them an opportunity to get ON board
Those on the train say it was very
amusing to see the members of he
company chasing first through the ct
ton field and then down the track in
their endeavor 10 get on the train
This Will no doubt break them of any
desire in the future to wander from tre
train in search of what to them MAJ
be curiosities. The members who did
not get off the train had a good joke
on their companions.

SMALL CHILD IS MISSING
Six Year Old Son Of hIr, and Mrs I. ].
Little Cannot be Fond.
He Was Last Seen Yesterday About II
O'CLOCK On Fourth Street Bridge.
No Trace Of Him Had Been Found
Up to I O'Clock This Morning.
Searching Parties Spent Early Part
Of Night Looking for Child.

The six year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. J. Little who live on Campbell
street. between Third and Fourth.
wandered away from home yesterday
about noon and I'D to 8 o'clock this
morning nothing had been heard of
the little fellow. The last time he va
seen was Yesterday between IL aad 1
o'clock on the Fourth street fridge.
The parents Of the child instituted
a search as soon as they found child
was missing but expected to find him
playing on some of the nearby streets
with some of his little friends. The
afternoon slowly wore away and the
shadows of evening began to fall and
still no sign of the missing child.
Friends Joined in with parents in the
search for the little one and the police
were notified. a searching party Ia
trolled all of the northern section Of
the city without finding any trace Of
the child and at 3 o'clock their efforts
had proven fruitless.
What became of the child Is a mys-
terry. If he had wondered to some
strangers house 1t would seem reason
able that they would have notified the
police but still they might o nave
done SO. That the child did wander
to some house where he was not
known and is being kept until his par
ents can be found. is the hope that is
bearing UP Mr.. and Mrs. Little. 1t
does not seem reasonable that any
serious mishap could have befa1len the
child n it is not probable that he
was kidnapped. If the child is not
found by this morning the search will
be renewed with increased energy.

State Politics.

Governor Glenn says that if state
prohibition were submitted to the vo--
ers Of North Carolina he believes that
it would win by a majority of from
$4,000 to 100000. In this instance wc
must disagree with the Governor. We
do not believe the time is ripe to SUBJ
nit this issue to the people OF North
Carolina. Too great a chance must be
taken. for if the measure was defeated
would not the saloon be returned to
the towns and villages. and the stall
(, the crossroads OF every county In
the state? About three-fourths of the
counties in the state now nave pro-
hibition. and we believe the temper
ance people had better accept this and

VISITED THE HIGH SCHOOL
Judge Allen Visits WilmingtOn's Ex-
ceIlent SchOOl-TwO Letters Read by
Principal to Students i'm Regard to
Work Dom by Two Students Of the
School.

Judge William R. Allen was an n
terested visitor at the High School lie
day during the past week. He visited
the school at the opening exercises
and was especially interested in two
letters that were read to the student
body. These letters had been recelV-
ed from DR.. F. l.. Stevens, of the Az
riculturaI department of the Agrlc,l-
tural and Mechanical College at RAJ
leigh, and were relative to work sert
him in competition for a prize offered
by the department.
These letters Will be of general inter
est to the people of Wilmington, for
they give an idea of the excellent work
being done at the High School.
One letter is addressed to Frank
King and reads as follows:
Dear Sir:

The second is directed to Thomas F.
Wood and is as follows:
Sometime ago I received from you

a charming little sketch of the same
plant. Both the essay and the draw
ipgs are very we'll done, and / am giad
rnat you have taken such an interest
in this kind Of work, as is evidenced
by the good work which you have
turned out.
Il have been holding this on my desk
until all the essays in competition for
the various prizes came in. But in
looking over, | find that your essay
hardly conforms to any of the compe-
titions of the Society. The work is SO
excellent, however, that I want to ask
your permission to send it to one of the
papers for publication. If you are
willing to do this and will let me make
one or two little changes in it,

zine interested in nature study work,
which will publish it,"
