Example.

"A little party Of US the other night
at one Of the clubs endured an inhie
ton in the shape Of story teller
who did not know when to quit, said
q member of one Of the prominent
New York clubs. IF he had been able
to make a serial Of his narrative.
with the thrilling points at the chap
ter ends and given It IN broken doses,
one or two chapters at a time, his
story might not have been SO hard to-
endure, but the trouble was that
he had to tell It all and all about IT..
and as he was man whom no one
would care to offend, his listeners
were outwardly placid and inwardly
profane
Memory for detail II an excellent
thing to have If you are in business
involving a great many small mat
ters. and, indeed. most callings are Of
this character, but the man Or woman
whose memory is SO tenacious that
1t brings up BY association host Of
particulars clustered round an event.
and insists on telling them all. il one
Of the worst nuisances known to So
ciety. IN Flush Times in Misslssip-
pi, an old book Of southern river sto-
ries. there is q character endowed
with such memory and his acquaint-
ances sometimes inflicted him on .
newcomer BY inducing him TO tell the
earthquake story. The principal fea,
ture Of this narrative was the fact
that nobody had ever heard the end Of
1t, for there were SO many little sto4
ries hanging to IT that had TO be told
first. and the narrator wandered out
Of the main road into 10 many devi-
GUS paths and byways that something
always happened 10 break of the
story before the denouement was
reached. While the yarn was
progressing the company would sir
out one BY one and leave the stranger

THE Widow Bedott is q first-clAal
example Of one Of these particular
memories at its best. Or, rather. worst
for she could not tell how the lat,

to her while jogging along toward th1
end Of her journey.
Most Of US have Widow Bedotts Ii

Please answer the following
through the Gazette. Do Rhode

feathers on their legs like Coch-
ms? S. A. FAINT,
Johnston Station, Miss.
Answer by Mrs. N. r.. Dsu.
pree, Mayhem, Miss:
! will say in reply 10 this
query, that it is a very COM
mon occurrence for the highest
thoroughbred Rhode Island Reds
TO have feathers on their legs
and between their toes. 1t is a
going back to one Of their ances.
tors, the Red Cochin. This de.
feet does not disprove purity Of
stock; it is simply a Disqualified
ton for the show room. At the
State show in Aberdeen two OF
the best breeders Of Mississippi
aud Alabama were disqualified
for pen competition, because
each had a hen with feathers on
their legs and between their
toes.

Tenants Diversity

The cotton belt cannot escape
the general rule that diversified
farming puts the soil in the best
condition, puts the most money
10 the pocket of the farmer, and
adds interest TO farm work and

many tenants, and tenants in.

more than is generally suppos-
cd. A tenant cannot easily d..
vcrsify his far ming because he
does not have money enough to
carry him, and planters and mer.
chants and others do not make
advances on other things al
readily as on cotton. Eggs,
pork, truck, butter, etc. car be
easily marketed without the
knowledge OF the man making
advances; but cotton is less cash

were planted at the same time
by all of the tenants, so as to be

Because Of poor seed and ex.
cessive rainfall in the early
spring the corn crop vas very
poor. In four instances it was
a com plete failure, while in the
others there was an insu III cient

was therefore fed to stock upon
