ARTICLE VERY MVCH MIXED

DR.. Nudge, an American clergyman,
was one day presented with a gold
headed cane by some of his admirers.
During that week also new patent
pig killing and sausagemaking ma
chine was tried in the same city. The
reporter or the compositor must have
got the copy somewhat mixed, for
this is how a notice of the presenta-
ton appeared in the local paper:
Several of DR.. Mudge's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after
brief conversation the unsuspicious
pig was seized by the hind legs and
slid along a beam until he reached
the hot-water tank. His friends ex-
planned the object of their visit, and
presented him with a very handsome
gold-headed butcher, who grabbed him
by the tail, swung him around, slit
his throat from ear to ear, and in less

MODEL FOR ALL "HENKIND"

Betsy" George Rradley's famous
hen, known to poultry raisers all
through Tennessee, is dead at the age
of % years, and has been buried with
honors BETTING her career of useful
ness.
Betsy was one Of brood of chicks
Matched on the day that Bradley's
eldest son was born, nearly twenty
three years ago. By the date OF the
young mans birth the family estab-
lished her age.
Betsy was occasionally permitted to
indulge her motherly instincts. upon
which occasions she invariably
brought into the world from a dozen
to fifteen of the finest chicks that ever
scratched gravel.
When not engaged in motherly du-
ties Betsy sometimes worked over
time and laid two eggs a day.
AS year after year passed without
any appreciable difference in Betsy's
strenuosity, she became the wonder of
the country and the barnyard jewel of
the Bradley family.
1t Is estimated that during that time
this industrious hen has laid 1850 eggs
and Matched $40 chickens.

QUEER FASHIONS IN AFRICA

Recently the British public received
some late fashion hints from the
upper Nile, a returned explorer re-
porting as follows: 'The largest
tribe in extent of distribution is the
Acholi, which covers the greater part
of the country between the Latuka
mountains and the Victoria Nile. They
are fine, tall, well built race, and
they live in open villages, as rule;
their arms are chiefly spears and they
spend a good deal of their time in
the pursuit of game; they practically
wear no clothes at ALL except small
piece of skin as an apron or hung over
one shoulder. Married women wear
sometimes small apron made Of
beads. The men and women also are
fond of wearing a crystal or glass
spike, about three inches long, in the
lower lip. Young men are generally
very smartly turned out, wearing
brightly polished metal rings on
their arms and legs, also peculiar
little conical cap made of felted hui
man hair, ornamented with beads of

glass or ivory. They keep their wea-
pons in good order and always keep
themselves very clean and we'll oiled.
"A peculiar custom in their villages
is the building of common nursery,
into which all the small children are
stuffed at night, the small door being
closed with wisp of hay or piece of
basketwork These nurseries are
usually raised above the ground and
are reached with ladder, SO az to be
beyond the reach of hyenas. A SINH.
lar arrangement on somewhat larg-
er scale is made for the young un-
married girls The huts are beehive
shaped, generally very neatly and
carefully built
"A wilder and less organized tribe
than the Acholi are the Tango. The
young warriors wear very handsome
headdresses made of cocks feathers,
which resemble guardsman's bear
skin at short distance. Another
peculiar habit of the Tango is to
pierce the tongue and hang a little
piece of brass chain to the tip. This
Is the highest effort of fashion,"
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1906-02-06

At the age of nineteen Betsy SUD
denly changed her habits and seemed
seized with a distinct aversion for
ROSTERS. The finest cocks OF the
walk in farmer Bradley's barnyard
had no charms for Betsy. She spurned
them all, During the last three years
of her life Betsy did not lay an egg
or hatch a chick.
Over her grave Mr.. Bradley will
erect headstone inscribed as fol-
lows:
Here lies laying Betsy. Born In
1888; died in 1905. She did many
fowl deed for those she loved. Peace
to her bones-let them lay. May she
lay again some other day"
If the ALSO eggs that Betsy laid dur
ing her nineteen years of faithful ser
vice were sold in the market at their
present price they would realize $685..
so. If her $40 chickens brought an
average price Of thirty cents they
would represent a market value OF
$171.
On this basis Betsy earned $1079 so
for her owner before she retired from
active duty and commenced to take
life easy.-New York Herald.

STRATEGy THAT WAS WASTED

When he woke in the morning he
dared not look toward the partner of
his joys and sorrows, but lay still
few moments listening, to learn If she
was awake Not hearing anything
from her, he felt gratified at leaving
her thus asleep, and, rising quietly,
he took his garments and carried
them into the hall, dressed there, and
decided to go down town to business
without waiting for breakfast.
AS he was about to leave he met
the colored maid and said: Mandy,
you can tell your mistress expect to
be very busy to-day, and therefore
concluded not to stop for breakfast
with her this morning."

PATHS Proudest Moment.

The story of PATHS "proudest mo-

course of an evening spent at the
house of Mr. Alfred Rothschild, where
dinner was given in honor of the
imminent marriage of the Prince and
Princess of Wales. The King rose to
propose the health of Madame Patti,

heard her sing. And then he describ'

One night he was carefully vending
his way to the bosom of his family,
greatly troubled in his mind about
the curtain lecture he was sure to re-
ceive upon his arrival, and casting
about in his mind for some way to
evade it, when suddenly a bright idea
occurred to him. He would slip quiet
" into the house and retire without
waking his wife.
Accordingly he let himself in, and
undressed in the lower hall, stole
quietly upstairs and crept into bed,
with his face turned toward the out
side. While mentally congratulating
himself upon his success he dropped
asleep.

Famous Health Resort
Davos, High Up Among Alpine Peaks.
Has Ideal Climate for Consumptives
\.
Especial Correspondence

Davos is paradoxical sort of place.
1t is high Alpine health resort for
consumptives. Its climate is excel
lent and it's weather unspeakably bad.
1t SHOWS here all the twelve months
round. but perhaps the worst of it is
that sometimes it thaws. In the big
spring thaw for whole month every
road has its pitfalls. Men and horses,
be they never so wary. sink above
the knees, founder. perhaps fall. and
are lucky if they get off with
drenching.
Nevertheless, the Lying cure" goes
on assiduously. This favorite rem.
edy consists in invalids passing about
six hours a day extended on touches
in ornamental sheds. Sometimes men
Congregate in one shelter of this sort,
sometimes women, sometimes a
mixed company, Only newcomers feel
shy at passing by dozen or SO of
these tenanted beds in the open air.
In bad weather the snow blows in,
and lies light and dry on the rugs
of the prone 'cure guests" Men with
wooden scoops push passage
through the fresh snow, that the thin,
phthisical patients, who would be
kept in cotton wool" at home, may
make their way with the earliest sun
shine or before it to their particular
beds out of doors.

Physicians, patients and mere pas
sersby are all agreed that the Davos
climate makes for nightmare Sleep
is hard to find here, even if you skate,
ski, sleigh, drive or dance; and, if

of a grewsome company that came
one night, gliding down a sunbeam, as
he lay between waking and sleeping.
To premise: He had been talking of
his forerunners in that room; the
house had been built some seven
years; the deaths in his quarters prob,
ably averaged three year, and some
one told the local legend of how any
stout-hearted Davoser may see the
figures of those who are going to
die in the coming twelvemOnth if he
will walk at midnight on New Years
eve by the River Landwasser, near
the parish church. The moonlight fell
across the room toward the door, and
the sleeper's fascinated gaze was
caught by a cloud-framed, colored
oval gliding past the left side of his
bed-gliding, gliding down the silvery
beam! The oval drew to a picture.
1t was like the modern Pieta he had
seen at Lugano, but in the place of
the dead Christ lay lovely girl.
There was mother, there was
youth and another woman's figure
bent with grief, all Instead of up
holding angels, there were rough Bun
der peasants-undertak men. And
before he could fill his gaze with the
group another pushed it away down
the moonbeam. This time the central
figure knew that he had died alone,
for no mourners bent over his bier
only the mutes bore him along.
