A Bell With a History.

The bell which rung to notify the
veterans that dinner was served, when
they dined with the Daughters Of the
Confederacy on Memorial Day, has
quite a history.
1t was dropped by the yankees and
picked up at Flint Hill near
Manassas by Norman Reed, a colored
man belonging to Major John j. Nc
Iver Of Society Hill, and who went
into the army with Major McIver as
his body-servant and mess cook.
After tlnding the bell Norman used
it to call the mess together
at meal times, and brought it home
after the surrender, carefully preserv-
ing it as great treasurer. He asked
to be allowed to ring it himself on
this occasion, and brought it to the
court house where the dinner was
served on Thursday morning, beauti-
fully polished and ready for use again.
Maj. McIver was in CO. L, Of Sth
regiment and if any Of the members
of his mess in that company were din
ing with the Veterans on the 10th of
May, 1906, the sound Of the big cop
per bell must have reused many men,
ories of other days and scenes.-Dar-
lington News.

HOW CHINCH1LLAs ARE CAUGHT.
Little Fur Bearing Animal That is in
Danger of determination.

The chinchilla is one Of the very
few really valuable fur bearing ami
mails found in South America. It's
range is extremely limited, the little
burrowing animal being discernible
in numbers only along the higher
cltitudes of the Andes Mountains in
Chill and Bolivia, where it has hith-
erto fairly abounded but is now in
danger of early extinction owing to
the fashionable favor accorded the
fur and the consequent high price of
the skins.
AS the officials of Chill and Bolivia
realize the importance to those coun-
tries of perpetuating the chinchilla,
laws for it's protection are being pass
ed. AS the little creature inhabits
wild and rugged districts, in in
stances almost inaccessible to any
save those familiar with the Rocky
Mountain trails, the chinchilla hum
ter conducts his operations quite fear
less Of the game wardens.
Unless the demand Of the fur wear
er and values decline materially we
may expect to- witness the extermina-
ton of the chinchilla within a brief
period, says the Fur News. Should
this undesirable result be approx
mated, the demand would cease for
lack Of supply and the chinchilla
would doubtless again multiply rap
idly.
During the season 1905 the collec-
ton reached the total in round num-
bers, Of 21S,OO0 skins, of which all but
about $4,000 skins secured for Paris
were shipped to New York Cor local
consumption or distribution abroad.
The Season for catching the chin
chilla runs from January to June and
is industriously conducted. The
chinchilla hunters so out in parties OF
three or four accompanied by half
dozen we'll trained dogs and nothing
else, no guns or traps being used, as
trapping is an industry as yet un-
known in that part Of the country.
The dogs, resembling our fox terrier,
catch and deftly kill them. These
dogs are so we'll trained in this work
of destruction that they rarely injure
the fur to an appreciate extent.
AS soon as the chinchillas have
been despatched by the dogs the men
remove the skins and rather crudely
stretch them to dry. After a hunt
from four to six weeks hunters and
dogs make their way back to the
coast with their catch, and the men
dispose of the skins, from three to
fifteen dozen according to luck, and
after a few days spent in town in
riotous living the hunters go off on
mother expedition to some other part
of the mountain where they are rea-
sonably sure chinchillas abound and
a golden harvest awaits their gather
ing.

TO MAKE A TOWN GROW.
A Set of Rules Whose Efficacy is
Guaranteed.

..
Commercial Club, of Dallas, Texas,
hes prepared a set of rules for making
a town grow. He guarantees their
efficacy. Here they are:
1. Join no organization looking to
the upbuilding of your town. This
will prove an encouragement to those
who give their time and money to sus-
tain such organizations.
2. Impugn the motives Of those who
join and charge them with a desire
to advertise themselves. This in
spires patriotic men to work all the
harder for the public good.
8. Pour cold water on every new
home enterprise, predict its early
failure, and contribute to that end by
patronizing its rivals in other towns.
This will encourage others to put
their money in home enterprises.
4. When a committee calls on you
for a contribution to any good cause,
act as a sore headed bear, and yield
up what you do give as begrudging-
Iy as possible. This lightens the bur
dens Of the committeeman and sends
them on their way rejoicing in their
work Of love.
5. When strangers visit your town
let them wander around alone and
enlighten themselves by reading the
signs and pumping the professional
loafer. They will carry away a. de-
.lightful remembrance Of their visit
and advertise the town wherever they
go.
+ 6. tcuss out" your public officials
(to their back Of course) and accuse
them Of everything from petty larce-
ny to high treason, no matter wheth-
er you can substantiate your Ncharges
on not This will prove a. keen in
.centive to the complete fullfllment Of
their official obligations.
Z. Whenever your town papers diff
fer in the slightest with your ideas
of public policy, declare they have
been bought up and promptly cut off
your patronage. The editor will turn
the other cheek and redouble his ef-
forts in behalf Of the town and its
.good people,"
8. Oppose any enterprise which is
not in exact accordance with your
own ideas. This Will be- conducive to
the spirit of concession and unity
which is necessary.
9. Give sparingly if at all to move
ments for the general good Of the
town even if you are the largest proper
ty owner in it, This will spur on to
greater exertions the public spirited
citizens your town now has and in
duce the coming Of others.
10. Observe the rules closely and
there can be no doubt about the
growth of your town. 1t will grow
and continue to grow-up in weeds
until it shall ultimately become a fit
habitation for bats and owls.
We believe that some of our people
already understand and employ the
principles here formulated but they
are not enough to make the system
completely effective A wider employ
ment Of the rules will accomplish
something definite. Now is the time
TO organize. Post.
