The Party of the Winds.

Big, clustering. boisterous Northeast
invited all the little winds that live
up in the sky to come and play. North
east was so merry and mad that he
briskly blew and friskily few, getting
ready for his party.
He whisked the leaves and twisted
the trees and broke off twigs. with
greatest ease. He was awkward, TOO.
and made a big hullabaloo for the
little work he had to do. But at last
oil was ready, and the guests began
to arrive. North and East came to-
gether. They were cousins in weather.
North was quite bright chap, with
4 cool manner and clear complexion.
He brought as present some glorious
glittering icicles.
East was q high spirited maiden,
who could never keep still a minute,
and she brought gift Of puffy, fuzzy
snow.
The three winds played awhile. They
made little twirls and whirls In the
snow. Then they made little tosslngs
and crossings Of the twigs in the tree
tops. They bristled and whisted;
they bustled and hustled and tussled.
But when they heard West Wind
coming the three went away and hid
in the deep, dark wood.
West was such a mild, gentle little
lady she was quite contented all by
herself and smiled sweetly and played
little lonely but lively games OF pun
and whiff. Then she went away.
She tried to find the hidden ones;
but, although she blew into every crack
and crevice and raised terrible dust,
she could not find North, Northeast or
East.
Then South came and, finding no one
to receive him, ate all the Ice and
snow, like the greedy fellow he was,
and went back to bis orange blossoms.

Hoardlng of Fortune.

A specimen of the type of indivld.
ual who helps to bring on financial
disturbances was seen the other day
in a popular down town restaurant.
In plain view of perhaps two score
people a handsomely dressed young
man took out roll of bills from an
inner waistcoat pocket, and proceed
ed to count them before an older
friend sitting vis-a-vis. When the
friend realized that the roll consisted
of fifty $1,000 bills he demonstrated
and told the youth to put the money
away. But the other proceeded to
take revolver from another waist
coat pocket, and laid it on the table
near the roll of bills, with the re.
mark: ''That will protect it" 1t

Race Conflict In Mississippi.

COLUMBUS, MISS, Dec. 127Seven
negroes were killed and from twenty
to thirty wounded in the race con-
flict in Pickens county, Alabama, near
the Mississippi line, last night &C
cording to telegraph dispatches, re-
ceived here.
According to these dispatches, the
whites raided a negro lodge meeting
last night, and in the fighting which
followed seven negroes were killed
and twenty or thirty wounded. The
building was then burned by the
white posse, as was also other negro
houses in the neighborhood. The
negroes are said to have been heavily
armed, and had 300 rounds Of am
munition at the time of the raid.
Deputy Marshal Lowe, who was
wounded by negroes Saturday night
at the time that he arrested a negro
charged with stealing cotton, is in a
serious condition.
The dispatches add that further
trouble is expected.

An Unobserving Thief.

Yosouf owned beautiful horse
which was very valuable.
While Yosouf was transacting busf-
ness thief stole the horse.
The owner shortly afterward saw the
rogue leading his horse and took him
before the caid, or judge.
''The horse is mine," sturdily insist
ed the thief.
In vain the other argued, and the
caid was about to give his decision In
favor Of the villain when Yosouf ad-
vanced suddenly, threw his cloak over
the horses head and demanded OF. bis
enemy:
, "Since you own the horse, tell the
caid in which eye the animal is blind. I"
I'm the left" said the thief, making
a wild guess.
Yosouf looked toward the caid TIL
umphantly. "He's blind in neither
eye" said he.
So the noble horse came into Its
rightful owners possession again, and
the wicked Arab was punished.

Financial Agent of Farmers Union Re.
turns from European Markets.

GREENvILLE, Dec. 11.-Mr. w. G..
Moore, financial agent for the Farm
ers' union, returned to Greenville to-
day from trip to Europe. Mr..
Moore went to England and Germany
for the purpose Of comforting with
the spinners about making direct
sales of cotton. He made a close
study of the situation and as result
agencies have been established at
Manchester, England, and also in
Germany, through which Farmers
union cotton will be sold direct to the
spinners. Mr.. Moore is enthusiastic
over the plan and declares it will re-
suit in saving at least a dollar bale
on cotton thus handled.
He predicts sensational prices later
in the season, when the consumer
finally realizes the size Of the crop
and the fact that the farmer is not
willing to take less than Is cents.

The Pyramids of Egypt.

The Egyptian pyramids stand near
the city Of Memphis. Egypt, and are
four sided structures. the sides facing
the cardinal points Of the compass.
Within them are chambers that were
used as the burial places Of kings, and
it is thought that the great piles were
built for that purpose.
The largest and most famous OF the
three is the pyramid Of Cheops. that
being the name given by Herodotus.
the historian, to the king that built 1t.
His right name, however. was Khufu
or Khuphu, and, although Herodotus
speaks Of him as bad ruler, he made
Egypt rich and great. he was buried
in the great pyramid.
Modern Egyptologists-that Is, stu
dents Of Egyptian history and legends
say that the pyramids were built
1000 years ago, perhaps even longer
than that. They have ascertained that
the hard stones used In their constuc-
ton were sawed into shape by means
Of bronze saws set with jewels, proba-
bly, corundum or diamonds. The hol-
lows (for tombs) were drilled with
tools like the modern rock drill, and
small articles were turned in lathes
fitted with mechanical tool rests and
Jewel pointed tools. But no one knows
how the gigantic stones, some of them
weighing thirty tons each, were
brought to the spot and lifted into
position. Probably no one ever will
know that.
The pyramid Of Cheops is $50 feet In
height. Originally it was 479 feet. The
sides are TAG feet in length, originally
764 feet. It is estimated that at least
100000 men were employed for thirty
years in building it. The exterior Of
the pyramids was formerly covered
with q casing Of highly polished
stones, but they have nearly all been
removed, and the present appearance
of the exterior is that of series Of
great rough steps.
The chambers where the kings were
buried are in the middle Of the struc-
lures, to which long passages lead
from the outside. The bodies haye all
been removed, but some Of the cofans
may still be seen there. - Chicago

North Carolina for Prohibition.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Dec. 1.-THE
universal opinion here is that the
legislature of 1909 will declare for
state prohibition. The liquor dealers
themselves now say that nothing
they might do can stem the tide:
The action of the Methodist Episcopal
conference in session at New Bern
and of the Baptist state convention
at Wilmington unanimously endors-
ing the policy of state prohibition
has apparently convinced every one
that North Carolina will join the dry
states within eighteen months.

A Number Guessing Puzzle.

Tell your friend to think OF a num-
Der; multiply by 6, divide by 8, add 40,
divide by 2; then let him name the re-
suit. and you can tell him the number
he thought Of.
The method is: Multiplying BY 6 and
dividing by 8 gives twice the number.
Add 40, and you have twice the num-
Der plus 40. Divide by 2, and you have
once the number plus 20; hence If you
subtract 20 from the result he gives
you you will have the number he first
thought Of.
