WAS WORTH TWO DOLLARS.
Traveller Reached Destination Long
Before Uncivll Autolst.

A story that is just coming to light
is that OF an interesting experience
which happened 10 a member or the
governors party which visited James
town at the opening of the eXposi-
ton. says the Baltimore American.
One day this member became de
tached from the party and could not
find them again. He hunted about
for awhile and finally decided that
they had returned TO Norfolk and
that he had better travel the same
road. II was impossible to get a We
hicle, so he started out TO walk. Aft
er he had gotten down the road lit
tie way he was overtaken by an au-
tomobile, and he hailed the driver
with the request to give him lift.
The latter. not having inbued suffi-
cient of southern courtesy, refused.
So the pedestrian trudged along
The next person to oyertake him
was sousthern negro with ram
shackle buggy" For a dollar he
joyfully agreed to carry the unfor-
tunate one to Norfolk But a little
way up the road stood the red devil
which had SO unchivalrously passed
the pedestrian, and under it was its
owner sprawled fiat on his back and
tinkering.
N"Tll give you two dollars If you
get TO Norfolk before the automobile,
said the gentleman
"All right, sab. I'll do it if dis har
mule can git thar
And to make the story short, the
darby earned the $2-for all the gen
tleman knows the unkind automobile
list may be lying on his back in the
Norfolk road yet-and the old story
of the tortoise and the hare received
a modern illustration.

StarIines Euu-SteaIers.


correspondent, writing from
Leith. England. expresses a strong
opinion tina tstarlings rob small birds
nests.
Some years ago there was a large
tree opposite my dwelling house.
There was a hole in the trunk Of the
tree about ten feet from the ground,
and sparrows built their nests in the
cavity. have time and again seen
starlings driving away the parent
birds, enter the nests, taking hold
of the eggs with their bills and fly
ing away with them.
A gravedigger in Banffshire once
told me that a yellowhammer had
built its nest in the churchyard. and
it contained four eggs One day a
starting attacked the hen bird as she
sat on her eggs. The yellowhammer
defended her nest and made "A great
noise. which attracted his attention.
but before he got up to the nest the
yellowhammer had been killed by
the starting, and the latter was on the
nest and breaking and eating the
eggs. Forty years ago starlings were
rare birds in many parts of Scotland
but now they are to be seen in thou
sands everywhere, and there can be
no doubt they have some destructive
habits.

The Farm Stock.

Sunlight should be welcomed to
every stable in which farm animals
are kept
1t will pay to keep sheep il for no
other reason than to get rid of the
weeds.
Shearing in the middle west will
be late again this year on account
Of continued cold. rainy weather.
Keep as much sulphur mixed with
the salt as possible and have the
sheep eat ii, and they will not be
troubled with worms
a wet season is always harder on
sheep than dry one. Look TO their
feet and keep them out of muddy
yards as much as possible.
We have read a great deal about
top dressing the pastures, and how
well IL could be done with a manure
spreader. How about a flock of sheen
for the purpose?
Fall filters prove profitable where
winter dairying is practiced and there
is a surplus of skim milk.
The horse should not be expected TO
make a living on the pasture In the
hog lot. The horse is usually a very
particular animal about what IL eats,
and hog pasture is very distasteful 70
It. Separate the hogs from the other
stock and give them = pasture to
themselves.

whooping Cough Bacillus Found.

At a recent session of the Medical
society of Vienna DR.. Heinrich AL
brecht. professor for pathological an
atomy and prosecutor of the viii
helmine hospital. stated that he had
succeeded in finding the cause of
whooping cough 1t is identical with
the long-known influenza bacillus. For
long time it had been believed that
whooping cough was caused by a spe-
cihc kind OF bacteria, OF which so
far not much was known. AS there
exists a growing tendency to treat all
infectious diseases by means of a
serum, much value was attached to
finding the cause of whooping cough.
Prof Albrecht has prepared SEE
rum from the whooping cough (nfiu-
enza) bacillus, which, injected into
rabbits, caused severe inflammation
OF the heart. These experiments may
explain why influenza has such Diet.

It's nice to be able to buy an auto
mobile as you would hat. Some peo-
pie will tell you that it is impossible,
that there are none ready for imme-

rate authority an American in Paris
walked into an agency and looked
about him with the following result.

The following fable for children IL con-

which the British fire prevention committee
recently awarded prize to Mr.. Bengough.
a Canadian:
on the shelf OF dark cupboard there
once lived a large family Of matches. They
were very happy together in the same box.
They had made friends with little mouse.
a rat and "a great black beetle. These
three came to the cupboard every day to
search for food, and sometimes they all
gathered together to tell each other stories
or to chat Their talk was almost always
about children,
one day when they were cougregated to,
gether the biggest match in the box spoke
out bis mind.
Il hate children" he declared. II should
like to burn every one Of theml"
"Oh!" exclaimed the mouse the rat ana
the BEETLE, "Oh. what a bad thing to sayr'
And they all trod upon one another's toes
as they shrank to the back OF the shelves
trying TO get as far as possible from thaa
wicked match
But" exclaimed master rat, why do
you hate children? Children are very nice
when they are good"
That's just IT," exclaimed the big matcht
when are they good? Are they good whSa
they make playthlngs OF us? Are they
good when they rub our heads against the
wall just to .make us blaze up and RACES
No, no; It Is because children are bad ana
disobedient that we hate them. II they in-
terfered with you as they do with us, you
would hate them, too. Master rat, have
