BOB WHITE.

(BY ANNIE LOUISE BRAKENRIDGE)
Across the rosy clover fields
Comes up the summer sun,
And click Of whetted scythe proclaims
The long days work begun.
There is no shadow in the sky
Nor on the meadows bright,
Yet louder than all summer sounds
Calls "Poor Bob White
Bob White Bob White Poor Bob
White I"
The hot sun filters through the trees
And burns the nodding grass,
The robin and the bobolink
Give greeting as they pass.
Surely, no rain will tall to-day
Hark ! through the world OF light,
Elusive, but prophetic still
Sounds "Poor Bob White
Bob White Bob White Poor Bob
White 7"
A hush is on the meadow-lard,
The ripened rye is still,
And far and near the mist hangs low
In valley and on hill.
The robin has forgotten now
His ;ean of delight;
[ hear alone the plaintlve note
OF "Poor Bob White
Bob White Bob White Poor Bob
White !"
The night and rain are falling fast;
"Bob White" has told the truth.
OF all the weather prophets, hs
Is proved the best, forsooth
And as against the driving storm
l close the easement tight,
l wonder where is sheltered now
Our "Poor Bob White
Bob White Bob White Poor Bob
White !"

FORTY COWS CONDEMNED
They Havs tuberculosis.

| Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. Ernest Moore, who lives on the
Providence road southwest OF the city
owns herd of &C COWS. His is one o.
the leading dairies of the county and
his COWS are well-bred. DR.. Adam
Fisher, the city meat and milk in
spector, has been at work on the Moore
herd for some time, testing for tuber.
culosls. Yesterday after most pains
taking investigation he condemned 80
of the sc and put two others on the
shelf to await further developments
This came like a crack OF thunder out
of clear sky to Mr.. Moore and 1t will
cripple him tor days to come. 1t vir-
tually means that this young man
who has Just begun business for him
self, will lose SO or 40 of what he con-
sidered among his best COWS. The
average layman cannot detect signs OF
tuberculosis tn COW and that is why
it took a special test to discover the
real condition of this apparently fine
bunch of dairy cattle. Mr.. Moore has
been ceiling what he deemed the finest
of milk to his customers. 1t is not be-
lieved now that any harm has been
done but there would have come a
time that his milk would have been
dangerous. When the abcesses on the
lungs fall down trouble comes to those
who use the milk.
The publishing of this story will
hurt Mr.. Moore for while but he, his
brother Walter Moore, and his father,
Mr.. G. G. Moore, wish to have the facts
stated so that the public may know the
real situation. Mr.. Moore's herd has
been so reduced that 1t will be a week
or more before he can select and buy
enough COWS to be able to supply his
regular customers. However, he is
going to cooperate with DR.. Fisher
and help to get rid of the last tubercular
germ In his herd. He will buy new
and healthy COWS as rapidly as he can
and regain his trade.
Since May Mr.. Moore has purchased
lumber of COWS and added them to
bis herd. In one instance he bought
seven from one man and six of those
are among the lot condemned.
Walter Moore came In with DIR.
Fisher yesterday afternoon and made
plain bold statement of facts to an
Observer man.
In talking OF the situation at Mr..
Moore's dairy DR.. Fisher said at Is
almost impossible for an ordinary man
without special training to tell wheth-
er COW has tuberculosis or not. Tests
have to be made"
What, DR.. Fisher, will be done with
these cows?" was asked.
II do not know exactly, but it is GER
tain that no more OF their milk will be
sold in Charlotte. Some OF them will
be killed and destroyed"
Hardly day passes that some inter-
esting revelation is not made by DR..
Fisher. The Charlotte people are
watching his work with eager interest.

Eow TO be Very. Very Popular

y. ). Marsden H. Success Magazine.
Never hesitate to talk about yourself
and your affairs. This will interes,
everybody.
Do not fail to throw cold water On
the peoples plans and to discourage
their ambition. Nobody Is sensitive
about this.
Be sure to dwell upon the defects
and fallings of Others, and call every
body's attention to them. Everybod,
likes gossip.
Never try to stop gossip, no IN at ter
| ii it does drive an innocent person in
sane or to suicide. There is no reason
why you should be deprived of a little
innocent pastime just because of 9TH
ers' sensitiveness. Pass the gossip
along. Add to its spiclness.
Always be on the watch tor Sights
and insults. Remember, most people
are your social superlors and are try
Ing to cut you.
There IS nothing which will endear
one to others like selfishness. Every
body admires it.
Always take the Lest seat wherever
you &C, and after you are we'll seated,
offer your seat to others without the
slightest intention OF getting up.
Just look out for your own comforts
Let other people do the same
Never do anything that you do not
feel like doing.
Never try to force your moods. Let
them take care OF themselves. Nobody
will mind il you get into rage, or
nag, or scold, or If you have the "blues."
1t is pleasant to have gloomy, silent,
moody people with long faces around
the house; it is SO uplifting to every.
body.
1t is much p!easanter to let other
people entertain you than for you to
entertain them. They are not much
interested in their own affairs. They
see SO much themselves they get tired
Of their own company. They would
much rather talk about your Affairs
and what you are doing.
Do not talk unless you feel like it
Just get in corner and read, or
lie dowa and take nap. Never mind
who Is present. Let some one else en-
tertain the guests.
Do not bother about trying to be
agreeable at the breakfast table. Just
hide yourself behind your paper, find
fault with the food, and snap at the
servants.
To be popular with the servants,
vent your spleen upon them at every
opportunity. Find fault with every.
thing they do for you at home or any
where else. They are servants and are
used to 1t. They have no business to
be thin-sklnned.
Never hesitate to show it when your
feelings are hurt, or to indicate your
jealousy when others receive more at
tention or are better dressed than you
If things do not suit you, slam
things around the house. Be Just as
disagreeable as possible. Meyer mind
If you break thing or two now and
then. 1t will relieve the blood pres

Always remember that praise is
splendid thing for you, but very bad
for others. 1t encourages vanity, and
people who are praised get so "puffed
up" and "big headed" that there is no
living with them.
