The Bears Of Happy Hollow.
Jerry and Jean Start to School.

Yes sir: progress was arriving at Happy
Hollow As far back as the oldest animal
could remember a wolf had been a wolf. a
fox had been fox. bear had been bear.
There was no such thing as youngster
becoming wiser than his daddy. There
never had been any trying to do things
except in the good old fashioned ways.
And so the seasons came and went. II
backberries were plentiful. or II daddy

But now progress was coming. There
was one sure sign of 1t. An overbearing
young bear. who had travelled. and, Of
course had seen something of the world
was trying to convince the bears OF Happy
Hollow that they were far behind the
times He for one. was going to start a
school. Then the bears who did wish to
be up to date might come and get some
ideas through their woody pates
The way this uDstart talked to bears
who were old enough to ee his greatgrand-
parents was most astonishing 1t was
worse than that; It was disresoectfu.
For didn't they know more in a forenoon
than he did all summer-that Is. more about
things that bears really need to know?
If there had been n vote on the ques-
ton the older ones to a bear. would have
voted against the school But this wise
acre didn't ask for a vote; he didn't even
ask advice. He just sent around word
that the school would be opened. and Of
course. all the young bears were simply
wild to go.
1T is sure sign of progress" said the
old bears. as they doubtfully and doefully
shook their heads. They had heard a very
old story of how some monkeys who once
set about to improve themselves had be-
come human beings They sincerely hoped
no such unhappy disaster would overtake
these reckless bears and their new-fangled
school~teacher.
And did the young bears listen to the
advice and wisdom of their elders? Not

ill-behaved. The mothers had awful times

Wonderful Pictures.

The pictures the rough board walls
Where little Benny plays
Are droller sights than one might see
In travelling many days.
He calls them his nagerie,
And when he shows me through
He says, This here Is a gireffe,
And this u kangaroo.
This is a mountain, this calf,
Here Is an old bsboon;
This is a tiger that's whale;
That big bird Is loon
I look. stare, I try to think
II e'er I saw before
Beasts remarkable these
On ocean or on shore.
The calf. much larger than the barn,
Has horns upon its head:
The body Ben has painted green,
The bushy tail bright red
The kangaroo looks like q bear
The baboon like a rat;
The whale and mountain look the same,
The tiger wears a<hat.
And Ben has drawn a rabbit and
And a stylish race horse, too,
Whose legs look like elephants,
Whose head and tail are blue.
The rider on Ben's racing horse
Sits jauntily astride;
Right through the beast see his leg
Upon the other side.
I truly said. These animals
Are wonderful to see;
No other artist. / am sure,

Polite Clouds.

When I looked up In the sky today
The clouds / saw were running away.
/ wonder why they hurried fast.
Little white clouds all scampering past,
Clothed in fleece like winters snow

Perhaps they thought that the grown-up sun
Would like to see what the earth had done;
And they moved right out of the way

a good deal of curiosity. But the practice
is not altogether unusual. "Once we had

followed him to the ends of the earth
but for the loneliness of her mother.
Burr was compelled to fly without her,
but carried with him promise from
Madeline that some day she would be
his wife.
Tradition says that she was wooed
by many an honest man, but remain
ed true to her treacherous lover until
Burr, an outcast in Paris, seemed to
have a pang Of remorse, and, realizing
the utter hopelessness of his fortunes,
wrote to release her from her prom
ise. Two years later, while in Hav-
ana, she became acquainted with an
English gentleman, the head OF large
commercial house, who followed her
to Natchez and ultimately succeeded
in persuading her to forget Burr and
become his wife.
Burr was overtaken and arrested at
st. Stephens, then known as Fort
Stoddard, in Washington county, Ala.
on the Tombigbee river, about forty
miles north Of Mobile, and was sent to
Richmond under guard. The docu-
ments regarding his rearrest are very
interesting and have never been pub
lished. Mr.. Rowland has compiled
them in the third annual report Of
:he Department Of Archives and His
tory, and has thus made a valuable
contribution to human knowledge.
Blennerhassett, Burrs devoted friend
and victim, remained at Port Gibson
and purchased plantation, which he
called La Cache. He lived here until
1928, when he went to the Island Of
Guernsey to recover some ancestral
property and died there. MIS- Blen-

Kent corrected.

pass the why along to a friend of

"Of course he told you all about 1t,

She withdrew the hand quickly, but
there was no more than playful re-

"I wish you would leave her out

CURIOUS LAWSUIT.
Supreme Court Decides That Stable
Manure is Real Estate.
Stable manure Is real estate.

Stable manure is real estate.
This Is the substance Of a decision
just handed down by the South Caro-
lima supreme court.
The famous case of Roberts VS.
Jones has been decided This Is q
case that has been plugging along ir
the magistrates courts and the cir.
cult court in this county for the pas
four years, and some months age
landed in the.supreme court.
lows: In 1900 Mr.. ]. T. Jones, the
county dispenser, rented a house and
small piece Of land from Mr.. ]. T
Roberts, in the upper part Of the city
When Mr.. Jones vacated the premises
at the end of the year he carried sew
eral wagon loads of stable manure
with him, as he thought he had a
right to do. Mr.. Roberts objected tc
the removal Of the manure. claiming
that 1t was real estate and belonged
to the soil. and demanded that Mr.
Jones pay him for it or return it. Mr.
Jones refused tc do either, and Mr.
Roberts thereupon started suit In the
magistrates court for the value of the
manure, which he placed at $12.
Mr.. Jones won In the first round
and then the case went up to the cir
cult court, where it was reversed and
sent back to the magistrate. 1t has
followed shuttlecock course ever
since, going from one magistrate to
another and back to the circuit court
on one point and another, until not
long ago 1t got up to the supreme
court. The presumption is that the
supreme court has been studying II
ever since.
The decision of the court, just hand
ed down, Is in Mr.. Roberts favor. Mr.
Jones will have to pay for the manure
and pay sundry costs besides.
The case has been one Of the most
interesting, as we'll as one Of the most
unique, ever started in Anderson
county. The outcome has been wait
ed with a great deal of interest by the
lawyers as we'll as by the laity.
Mr.. A. H. Dagnall represented Mr.
Roberts in the long drawn out suit

resented Mr.. Jones.-Anderson Mail.

the rnarksmen of the Crescent Athletic Club who
faced the traps on the grounds at Bay Ridge
