Beasts That Weep.

Animals are said to weep from va
rlous causes. Grief at the loss o.
young ones and mates makes the dog
horse, elephant rat, bear, deer, mon
key, donkey, mule, cattle, camel and
giraffe shed tears.
Sobbing has been proved In the par.
rot, though this may be mimicry. The
stag at bay and the Gagged rat have
been seen to weep while monkeys have
wept when pitied or from terror.
The elephant has wept at the loss
Of its liberty, and In some cases also
from vexation. The dread of punish
ment has caused captive chimpanzses
and other apes TO weep.
Joy, pain, fatigue, thirst, Ill usage,
sympathy, old age, approaching death
and pettishness have al drawn tears
from animals or at least driven them
to a fearful state.-Exchange

The Redwood Association has recent

redwood lumber in order to obtain re-

Redwood timber for long time has
had extensive use In California, but
not until recently has entered the east

Consequently, in response to her

several hours in delightful social

of the long ago. This old ladies'

Two Prize-winning Gardeners. s.

On Saturday the writer ohanced
to meet two experienced and very
successful gardeners, Mrs. James
B. Tompkins and Mr.. John F.
Atkins, both of whom claimed 10
have the best garden. We were
acting somewhat as umpire or
referee in this wordy spat. but as
Mrs. Tompkins has been growing
nineteen-pound cabbages and as
Mr.. Atkins. making more than he
could consume, has been selling
quantity of his succulept vege-
tables, we will have to partake of
both the Tompkins and Atkirs
Dot-liquor before we can render
decision. We learned something
from the prize-winning gardeners
that we shall profit by and pass
on for the oenefit of others. Both
Mrs. Tompkins and Mr.. Atkins
tcld US that it is better at this
season to cut off and set out the
rooted portion of tomato vines
than to put out small plants.

II ,t-bed for Disease Germs.

The old quarry, as the hole taat
is scme distance in the rear of Mr..
Powell's shop is called, is said to
be a great menace to the health of
the community. 1t is a large pool
rather cesspool-of stagnant water
into which dead dogs, dead cats,
dead chickens and other things
are dumped without let or him
drance. If fish and other ponds
that have a stream flowing through
them cause disease, certainly this
hole that has no outlet is a place
that fosters or creates disease
germs The excavation was made
by the national government and
it is possible that the government
would have it properly drained.

Red Oak Grove Church.

The members of Red Oak Grove
church, which was founded in
1851, are arranging to build a new
house of worship. Already they
have about $500 pledged which,
by using a large portion of the
material in the old church, will
be almost enough to- erect the new
building. They purpose beginning
the work of tnaring down the cd
church on Monday after the fourth
Sunday in July. All hands will
join forces and push the work to
completion. Mr.. G. D. Minis will
be in charge of the work. In many
respects Red Oak Grove is an ideal
country church. The membership
consists of about 110 souls who
WORK together in perfect unity
and harmony. Furthermore, in
the matter Of intelligence, and
intelligent service as Christians,
those who compose this church
are far above the average.

Sheep.
While he was in The Advert
SET Office on a matter of business
Monday morning, we questioned
Mr. David Strother about his
sheep, knowing that he was a very
successful stock raiser. He has a
flock of about 110 ewes. In the
spring he sheared over 400 pounds
of wool from then1-aoout four
pounds per head-eor which he
realized % cents per pound. The
Increase of Mr.. Strother's flock
numbered over 100 lambs which
be has been shipping at intervals
for several months, realizing "a
good price therefor. A worthless
s'yaller dawg" killed seven lambs
before Mr.. Strother c,uld kill the
depredating canine. In spite Of
this loss of about $50, be will net
a goodly sum from his sheep. Let
it be said, however, that mis- sue
cess is due to careful, personal at
tention and good management
Mr.. Strother says his crop is q
little backward and small, but
taking it all III all, he has the best
prospect that be has had in ten
years.
