These HustIina Americans.

At a recent gathering in Balti'
more two men from different sec.
tions of the country were discussing
the capabilities of nervous, restless
Americans" for being most slow and
deliberate. The Marylander claimed
the palm for slowness for the in,
habitants of the Eastern Shore o1
his state.
'1t is a saying hereabouts," said
he, "that if oysters had been ere.
ated with legs the people of the
Eastern Shore would all have starv.
ed to DEATH"
"The folks around Mount Monad.
mock have a saying that beats
yours" remarked a Vermont man
"Of one man up there it used to be
observed that if you were to give
Hiram Higgins forty yards start
stock still would catch him"-Har'

They Plague the Herdsmsn by Raidins
1lySir Elocks.

Although the last bear was shot
in Germany in 1885 near Traun-
stein, il Bavaria, bear hunting and
trapping still go on in the very
heart of Europe. In Transylvania,
Hungary, Bosnia and Croatia, all
mountainous regions, there are hun
dreds of bears, and scores of them
are killed and caught every year.
They are the plague of the shep-
herds and cattle herders who pas
ture their ffocks among the hills.
They seem to fear neither dogs nor
men and boldly carry off sheep and
calves into the woods before the
eyes of the watchers.
The peasantry retaliate by using
the stolen animals as bait for the
robbers. The bear seldom consumes
the entire carcass at one meal. He
either buries the rest or hides it
with leaves to serve another time.
The country people know this, and
they follow the bears trail to the
place of concealment. When this is
found they determine the direction
in which he departed from his prey,
knowing he will return when he is
hungry by the same path.
The trap is paced in this line
about a yard from the hidden car
cass. 1t is carefully concealed with
leaves and grass, and bruin cannot
help stepping or it with either his
fore or hind paws. When he is Sc
curely caught the herlsmen, who
are MORALLY AFRAID of him, appear
and Kill h:.l at leisure and in per
feet safety.
Of course the landowners and
sporting class generally d,ehot get
their bear in this cowacd!y way.
They hunt with dogs and shoot the
game when it is run down.
But this is not easy work. Al
though there are plenty of bears in
a mountain region, it is not uncom-
mon for a hunting party to travel
whole day without getting a shot at
one.-Exchange.

Fine Feathers and Gratitude.

The well dressed woman slipped
two theater tickets into an envelope,
which she proceeded to address to
a girl employed by a fashionable
dressmaker.
"That," she explained, els IA
vor that many women with good
clothes confer upon the girls who
are responsible for their fine feath-
ers. In bestowing it we are not
actuated by vanity, but by q desire
to give pleasure. After a woman
has been in the millinery or dress
making business for several years
she ceases to take much interest in
the public appearance of the women
who wear her creations, but the
younger girls have great desire to
see a customer fully dressed for
some occasion for which they have
hurried to finish her clothes. From
long experience 1 can pick out these
curious, clever little artists, and
whenever l wear an especially nice
dress to a place open to the public
I send tickets of admission to the
girls who have worked hardest to
make my costume a success. New

Commencement at Rome.

Prof o NJ Mitchell, l,principal of
the Union graded school,passed
through the city this morning
en- route for his home at Ridge
Spring, Edgefeld county. Prof.
Mitchell has had an unusually
successful session this year, and
his work has met with the hear

of the school. He reports that
all the teachers were reelected
for the coming term, and that a
fourth teacher will be added be-
fore the next session begins.
At present Miss Cora Huggins
has charge of the primary
grades, Miss Marie Rivers of the
music department, and a teach:

A FEATHEREO FRAUD.
Robin Redbreast Called a Much Over.
rated Bird.

The horticulturiSt put down his
paper and snorted in disgust when
he read an article praising robins.
"The robin is a much overrated
bird" he said. people rail against
the English sparrow, but he doesn't
begin to torment the gardener as
the robin does. Did you ever hear
of a robin eating insects? No, in
deed; not one little bug does he eat.
But he'll pull up all the worms IN
the soil and impoverish it, for an
gle worms are the natural enrichers
of the soil. His appetite is enor-
nous, and it won't take him long to
clean out all the angle worms in a
good plot of earth.
"He also feeds on berries, and /
won't forget in a hurry what he did
to me last winter. l planted lot
of black alder trees in my grounds,
anticipating that by Christmas they
would be blazing with red berries.
You know the black alder is called
the northern holly, and its berries
are a vivid scarlet. Well, just as
soon as the berries began to form a
swarm of robins swooped down and
gobbled them all up. How did they
happen to be up north? Why, rob-
ins would stay north all winter if
they could fird enough berries to
eat. They don't mind the cold
weather any. It's simply matter
of food that drives them to warm
er climate. Bittersweet berries are
the only sort they won't eat. They
are robbers too. They'll steal the
ness of such little birds as the
phoebe, that sing sweetly. And
they haven't bit of common sense.
When they teach their young to
fly they keep up such squawking
that they attract the attention of
every cat for a quarter of mile.
Of course the cats promptly gather
and pounce on the young birds.
Most horticultur:sts will tell you
that the robin is a fraud and is no
pet of gardeners. Even his name is
a deception, for his much vaunted
red breast is a yellowish brown. l
welcome the sparrow around my
place much more cordially than I
do the fat robin" - New York

A Verbal Puzzle.

Lieutenant colonel is probably
the worst verbal puzzle that con-
fronts the child" says a writer.
"Our pronunciation is a heritage
from the sixteenth century spelling
'coronel,' which represented the
Spanish form, wherein the change
of q to r was linguistically nat
ural, though popular etymology
wrongly connected the word with
corona crown. 1t is really from
the Italian 'colonna,' a column, the
'compagnia colonella' having been
the first company of an infantry
regiment, the little column which
the colonel led. In the sever
teenth century colonel had three
syllables, as in Milton's line captain
or colonel, or knight in arms but
in Johnson's time the common pro-
nunciation was 'colnel.'
