A Bird of Interesting Features.

The members of the pelican family are many. and differ from other living birds in the matter of their feet. All the peli- cans toes are united in one common fold of skin, or web, while other web-footei birds-such as the duck-have but the front toes so joined together.
 The pelican is most remarkable in ap- pearance. He has q sober, dlgniied way wi-h him as he walks leisurely about on the sand. He is heavy of body and stout and short of leg. From his build he would appear to be clumsy; but such Is not ths case. Indeed. he is remarkably expert and swift on the wing, and has great en- durance while on long flight.
 Beneath the pelican's beak is q bag ike pouch. opening through the beak. This pouch serves the purpose of food-ba kst, md in 1t the mother bird carries supply of fish to her young. This pouch has great capacity of distension.
 When fishing the pelcars show icc. ingenuity. They will form themselves into circle, screaming excitedly and Hopping their wings till they frighten the fish into | confused mass. Then Into the assembled prey they will dip, each peli- car. coming up instantly with n squirming fish held tightly fin his beak. Into the convenient pouch the pelican drops his fish (he appears ito swallow iD then dives for more. I have seen one pelican se- cure five Ash before stopping work. Then away flies Mrs. Pelican with a fine fresh meal for her young. Or. in the case of there being no young to feed. the bird will fly to a sand bar, or upon the bank. and regale itself leisurely and with ap- parent relish.
 The pelican is an inhabitant of warm countries, always living about sSSSe bodies of water

hend and closed his eyes.
 There was n sudden movement of the person beside him, and the black gown fell to the earth. Also the turban and gray hair fell away from glorlously beautiful head. and mask dropped from the face which was that of wonderful fairy. "Open your eyes, my child" said the fairy, touching Ajeppe with her golden wand. Ajeppe did as bidden and was so surprised at the change which had taken place in his strange companion that he could not speak. "Ah. my dear. good Aieppe," said the fairy. "I have tempted you all that was In my power to do, and I have found you made of the purest metal You are the most worthy boy in all this broad land. How many could have withstood the bangs of hunger as you did a little while ago, all through love of the tenderest kind for your parentsl Know that through your determined fight against Temptation you have this day won great victory in life. As reword you and yours shall know want no longer. This day their fortunes shall change. Nour mother comes wonder In a chariot all her own. She has on comfortable and beauti- ful garments. Beholdl"
 And at that instant up rode Ajeppe's mother in beautiful chariot, smiling at her son. Come, dear one" she said making room for AJeppe beside her, T have just met fairy who told me that through your great goodness we your father, myself and you-are to enjoy all the blessings of q good and happy life, free from want and care"
 And when Ajeppe and his mother reached their home the fairys work had extended there in advance of them. The lands were cleared and great fields opened up full of vines and fg trees. flock of sheep browsed in the rich meadow at the base of the sand hills And their home-once So poor--was now castle of comfort and filled with rich furnishings. And In cabinet in the hall was found measure full of gold coin. real fortune In It. self.
 And thus was Ajeppe rewarded for with. standing Temptation.

THE MEXICAN COMMONWEAL TIL

James Bryce, who is soon
to be the British Ambassador
to this conntry, in his
"American Commonwealth
was very free with his critl'
cism of our form of govern
ment and of the power OF the
president. He seemed to
look forward to such a presld-
ent as We now have, for he
said:
In quiet times the power
Of the President is not great.
He has less influence on leg
islatio,i-that is to say his
individual volition makes less
difference to the course legls'
lation takes-than the Speak
er of the House of Represent. t.
atives.
1.-The Senate, though it
keep the President from set
Ting anything, cannot keep
him from unsettling every
thing. He, or rather his
Secretary Of State, retains an
1ufpttarpd initiative DV
means of which he may
embroil the country abroad
or excite passion at home. =
And especially when he
states, that the larger a
community becomes, the less
does it seem to respect an as
sembly, the more is it attract
ed by an individual man. A
bold President who knew
himself to be supported by a
majority in the country,
might be tempted to.override
the law and deprive the
minority of the protection
which the law affords it. He
be a tyrant, not against
the masses, but with the
masses. So
The is no gainsaying that
the exceptional conditions
looked forward to by Mr..
Bryce have in a measure come
to pass, but he evidently
overlooked the unwritten law
against a third term for a
president which Washington
declined and Grant was re.
fused and President Roosevelt
declares he does not desire.

The takers wrinkles commence In
and near the lower cheek and run
down nnder the chin from side to
side. The straight up-and-down lines
furrowed In the brow denote sternness
and sharpness. Diagonal lines, crisis
crossed in the middle of the brow,
mean small frets and worries. The
remedy for wrinkles is found In a
cheerful disposition. q watchfulness
over ones own face that 1t doesn't
crinkle into plaitings and in gentse
massage with good skin food. 1t is
the manipulation of the skin as much
as the cosmetic itself that banishes
the lines. Expert facial specialists
who massage the face and use cleo
tricity do much toward blotting out
lines. The whole process is rejuve-
mating and stimulating. Outdoor ex-
ercise. restful, refreshing sleep and
nutritious food are essential In the
treatment of wrinkles.

That many have succeeded In max
Ing crop without using the hoe is
most important fact 1t certainly be-
h6oves US to learn their method and
to pattern after them as much as pos
sible. II We cannot succeed in dis
carding the hoe altogether, the more
we can dispense with 1t the better,
since 1t Is the most expensive work
we have to do In making crop. The
secret lies in the manner of planting
and In the use of the weeder ana har-
row to prevent the young grass get
ting q start and thinning the cotton by
the use of these tools instead OF chop
ping the cotton to stand. A machine
has been recently invented to buyn all
the lint from cottonseed without de-
stroying its terminating power. This
viii enable us to drop cottonseed as
we do corn. II this is success. as
they claim, 1t viii work revolution
In cotton planting. Be this as It may.
we are here to learn and to improve
by every suggestion Of value. All
wide-awake cotton planters will give
this matter careful consideration and
learn to do without so much hoeing.
Labor Is too scarce and too high to
use the oId-time methods. Then cot
ton choppers are on the market that
will block" the cotton for you Elk

to you- Twenty-Five years ago Mr..
Tom Boughn, down in Coweta county,
would take v-shaped harrow with
spiked teeth and run across his cot
ton rows twice and thin It as well as
hill the grass. He would cultivate his
cotton with less than half the hoeing
given by his neighbors. II you win
run the weeder over your cotton just
as it fs coming mp, and then every
week for two or three weeks, you can
save wonderfully in the cost Of Guilt
