She is of undoubted courage and gives milk frequently. To man who does not fear death she is great boon. She is very much attached to her present home with a stay chain, but she will be
 sold to anyone who will agree to treat her right. She is one-fourth short horn and three fourths hyena. l will also throw in a double barrel shotgun, which goes with her, In May she usually goes away for week or two and returns with tall, red calf with wabIy legs. Her name is rose. Iwould

Language of Umbrellas

There is a language of umbrellas as of flowers, says Spare Moments. For instance, place your umbrella in rack and it will often indicate that it will change owners.
 To open it quickly in the street means that somebody's eye is going to be in danger
 To shut it quickly signifies that a hat or two will probably be knocked off.
 An umbrella carried over woman, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain, signifies court ship.
 When man has the umbrella, and the woman the drippings, it indicates marriage.
 To swing your umbrella over you" shoulder signifies: "I am making a nuisance of myself"
 To put an alpaca umbrella by the side of silk one signifies; "Exchange is DO robbery"
 To lend an umbrella indicates: Il am fool"
 To return an umbrella means-well, never mind what it means; nobody ever does that.

Years ago young hunter, part Rus sian, part native, set out from Kenai, on Cook inlet, on hunting trip. His quest for mountain sheep led him to ascend the higher reaches of the noun tains. When in the vicinity of Che Kenai river, far up on a hill side, the hunter was attracted to spot which showed large outcrop of white crystalline quartz. He picked up a piece and found it to be impreSnated with yellow mineral particles. Not be ing very familiar with gold when found in the quartz form, the young man put the sample in his pocket, intending to show it to those possessed of more knowledge of gold On his return home, he showed the specimen to an old trader, who immediately recognized it as an exceedingly rich rock and desired to return forthwith with the hunter to locate the ledge. The hunter demurred, however, saying he had to 20 to another village and would soon return, and then they would seek the ledge. The young man jumped in his canoe and pulled away. In getting out of his boat, on arrival at his destina- ton, the hunters gun was accidentally discharged, and the contents entered the owners breast, from the effects which he died.-Seward Gateway.

Vital Statistics in Virginia

The State Board OF Health, at the
meeting OF the Legislature In January,
1908. will present bill to provide for
the collection of vital statistics in Viz
ginia. A thorough system of vital
statistics Is the foundation stone to a
we'll conducted health department, for
1t is through the death rate that we
learn the relative mortality of disease.
1t Is absolutely necessary to know
when and where certain diseases exist,
particularly II they are Of the infectious
or contagious type, in order to find the
cause, warn the public and correct the
conditions that produce or cause said
disease.
The American Public Health Asso-
citation, which meets at Atlantic City
on September 30. 1907, is 50 alive to
this question that it is seriously con
sidered forming section of vital sta
tistics, which, 1t IL hoped, this associa-
tion will do, thus emphasizing the i'm.
portance OF this subject in connection
with public health and sanitation.

the Voters and Tax Payers OF said Dis.
trict, and pledge myself, II elected, to
sen that the deserving poor, both white
and black, do not suffer. will see that
no one store in town shall furnish said
persons every thing, and give the poor
man or woman no chance to say where
they may deal. will see that what
they get shall DO OF good material, both
in way of eating and fuel; not just cedar
wood as they have used the last winter,
and that In small quantities. l shall
not ask the Supervisor, Mr.. Whitmore
(should he be elected), TO sign lot OF
warrants for me to carry around In my
pocket, without his seeing what he Is
signing, as he has been doing. | will
divide the money ovel the town, and
district as the poor may want, and
under the law none can be sold mt my
store. shall not ask the Supervisor
to give me $4,000 per year, as he is
doing outside OF the County, which pays
$1,000. | will see IL Taxes cannot be
cut down for this District.
The Poor cost Lexington District
from July, 1906, to July, 1907, nearly
$4,000, and for the other five Dis
tricts, less than $4,000. So under the
present management, Lexington had
better start little poor house of its

CANNOT SELL TO STUDENTS

The law prohibiting the sale OF
alcoholic liquors to students are
sufficiently strict to prevent these
young men from securing intoxl.
cants of any kind. These laws
have special reference to local OPP
ton communities.
The suggestion has been made
that it might be possible to secure
information sufficiently strong
from the books of the express
companies doing business in Lex
ington to put stop to this traffic.
II these books could be examined
BY members of grand juries the
names of students could be secured
who receive liquors from the deal
ers in Staunton or Lynchburg. 1t
10 the duty of liquor dealers to
safety themselves that the liquor
ordered Is not for q student, These
dealers have no right to ship their
goods to a student in a dry terri.
tory, and it seems that they could
be dealt with In accordance with
the facts in each case. At any
rate, it would be worth the trial.
