The Real Value.

Young people must, every now and
then, hear it said or see it written that
all the real value in literature can be
put upon a small shelf. That is to
say, the really important part of all
that is written is contained in a very
few good books, all the rest being
either unimportant or different ways
of saying the same things that have
been said before. The statement, of
course, is not true of it be taken liter
ally. There are certainly many
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
books that contain original thoughts
or experiences that are truly yalu-
able; but, generally speaking, the
best part of all that has been written
is to be found in few volumes. To
understand how this is possible, we
must remember that nearly all rules
are the same as other and simpler
rules. In arithmetic, for example. the

, The Flight Of Birds.

The course of fight is distingu-
lshing character of many birds. The
grouse rises gradually while flying in
a straight course; the woodcock rises
to height OF several feet, or even
yards, then flies straight away; the
cuckoo's flight is also in a straight
line, but peculiarly arrowlike, being
graceful and silent, the long slender
tail and body of the bird still fur
ther suggesting an arrow. A num-
Der of the birds, notably the brown
thrasher and the song sparrow, pro-
gress in short flights, as from bush to
bush, with a queer, eccentric or bob
bing motion as if their tapping tails
were a great hindrance. A Wilson
snipe flies in a Zig-zag line; gold
finch in long undulations or bounds.

flying can be indicated by dotted

SCRAP NOW LIVELY
Guatemala and Salvador May
Have Real Little War.
FIGHTING ON THE BORDER
With 10000 Troops Available, Guate-
maIa Seems to Hold Key to the
Situation - Uncle Sam May
Act as Peacemaker,

A cablegram received at the state
department in Washington Friday
from Minister Merry, at San Salvador,
states that fighting is proceeding on
the border line between Guatemala
and Salvador, and also that Guate-
malan troops have crossed the line
into Honduras. This latter is under
stood to be part Of the Guatemalan
attack on the fugitives of Regalado's
army after that leauer was killed on
thursday.
From those advices the impression
is given in Washington that Presi-
dent Cabrera Of Guatemala holds tho
key to the situation, and the question
of war or peace depends upon the
4uccess of the efforts which the state
department is now making to induce
him to forego attacking either Sal
vador or Honduras in retaliation for
the part played in the attempted rev.
olution By the Salvatore b troops
under Regaiado. The state department
is informed that Cabrera has gath
cred a force OF no less than forty
thousand men under arms.
At the instance of the state depart
ment the navy department cabled to
Commander Mulligan Of the Marble
head at Panama to proceed immedi-
ately to La Libertad, on the coast
of Salvador, to safeguard American
interests. She could arrive at that port
Friday or Saturday. There is no other
American warships within $500 miles
of the scene of trouble, so the Mar
blehead may have to divide her time
between Salvadorean and Guatemalan
ports.
During the day a cablegram was
received at the, state department from
Mr.. Brown, secretary of the legation
at Guatemala City. He reports con-
tsnued fighting near Conte Peque,
in the neighborhood of the place
where Regalado was killed. The ag-
gressive attitude of Salvador toward
Guatemala was, Mr.. Brown says, real
" on account of the personal acts OF
Regalado's troops. Consequently his
death has removed the principal OBJ
stacle to the restoration of peace.
Minister Merry at San Salvador
also sent a cablegram to the depart
ment stating that Salvador was quite
willing to cease hostilities, but COM
planned against the aggressive atti-
tude of Guatemala.
Call to Arms by Guatemala.
Fresh hostilities have taken place
on the border. The invasion OF the
country by the Salvadorean troops
is considered to be declaration OF
war. War is accepted by official de-
cree. The country has been placed un-
der martial law and there is a general
call to arms in Guatemala.

Wood Boring Bees.

The other day I was watching a
strong colony of wood-boring bees,
which are not leaf-cutters. They are
little bigger than grains of rice, but
much that they did was very interest
ing. For instance, when the hole was
finished and stored, the bee closed 1t
over with a film something like that
which a spider spins. She then
brought, one by one. little crystalline
pebbles, which she glued, to the mum.

film, and Just over the hole. can

Ruby.

She was playing in the sand at the
back of the house; at least so every
one thought.
There was company expected thai
day, and it was such help for Ruby
to amuse herself!
When at last the work was done
mamma thought Of the child ane
wondered where she was.
She went to the kitchen door, ther
out on the front porch, calling ruby!

For a while the little one had
thought it great fun to play all by
herself.
But bye and BILE she grew lonely
She thought Of Grace and Tommy at
school.
Then she dropped her shovel and
slipped away. Her hat was lying on
the ground, but she did not notice
that.
The teacher heard a strange noise
outside. She opened the door and
saw the little girl standing on the
porch.
Her hair was in her eyes; there
were little. streaks of dirt on her
chubby face. Her dress was torn and
soiled.
She looked-as indeed she was
like a runaway.
"I comed," she said calmly, and
walked in, seating herself at her
brothers side.
When the spelling-class was called,
she arose and marched up with the
rest Of the children. Just then NAM
ma tapped at the door and said, "Is
Ruby here?"-Rena Reynolds, in

Blind Mans Buff by Profiles.

When this game is played with
care and some little art, it is very
amusing. The blind-man does not
have his eyes bandaged; he needs
them all and his wits besides. A
white cloth is hung against the wall
in the same way as for magic lantern
pictures. The blind-man is seated
on a stool low enough to prevent his
own shadow from being thrown on
the cloth. At some distance behind
him is placed, on a high table or other
suitable support, a single lamp, and
all the other lights are put out.
When all is ready the persons in
the party form a sort. of procession
and pass in a line, one after the other
between the lamp and the back of
the blind-man, who is forbidden to
turn his head. The light Of the lamp,
being intercepted by each of the per-
sons who pass before it, makes upon
the white cloth succession OF shad-
ows very clearly defined.
AS the shadows pass before him the
blind-man is obliged to name aloud
the person whose portrait he i'm
agines he sees in profile, and the mis-
takes made cause much amusement.
Each one has the privilege OF
changing his appearance as much as
possible by STOPPING, limping, making
faces, or trying in any way to make
himself unrecognizable. Forfeits may
be given by the person guessed If de-
sired Philadelphia Record.

V. Johns2n, a White Man-Stiff
Charge is Delivered by tho
Presiding Judge.

A special term Of Union county.
North Carolina, superior court con-
yened at Monroe, Monday, for the
trial of the following alleged lynch
ers of John V. Johnson at Wadesboro
on May Doth:

Will A. Nevins and Will Dew.
| Judge Thomas J. Shaw presided.
When the jury had been called into
the box and his honor had put the
usual questions as to taxes, etc., Judge
Shaw said
1T is a matter Of common knowl-
; edge, gentlemen, that this is a spe-
cial term of court, called for the trial
Of citizens of Arson county charged
! with lynching. If any of you have
formed and expressed an opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANTS hold up your hands"
Two jurors were excused and the
judge continued:
THE reason 1 have asked these
questions, gentlemen, is that from
newspaper reports, 1 learn that par
ties hive been in this county seeking
10 mould public opinion, either for
or against the defendants, and want
to know if any of you gentlemen
have been approached on the SUBJ
ject.'
In charging the grand jury Judge
Shaw said:
There is no reason why we should
deal with this question with gloved
hands. I had just as well face 1t
squarely. The charges against these
men overshadows all the other charg-
es on the docket, and l don't know
what else is on the docket"
He emphasized then the oath they
had taken and elucidated the crime
of perjury. The only escape for the
guilty men is through perjury. So
help him God, he declared to the
Jury, if justice should miscarry In
this case, he (the judge) would not
be responsible for it. He described
the lynchers of Johnson as a mob Of
towards and satirized their claim to
good citizenship; he warned the jury
against improper influences and said
that the issue here was clearly drawn
between law and lawlessness, and that
the men VINO participated in that mob
"are guilty of murder in the first de-
gree"
With the conclusion of the charge
the grand jury retired to consider
the indictment against the alleged
lynchers.
At the afternoon session four true
bills were returned and one no
bill, five cases being considered. MO
ton to quash the indictment was made
and argued, and decision reserved.
Both sides are represented by able
attorneys, and it is evident that the
case will be fought hard. The trial
is being held in Union county, hav'
ing been removed from Arson, the
county in which the lynching occur
