webster.s Fine Talk to a Fish.

1 had a chat once with old John At
taquin, then a patriarch among the
few survivors Of the Mashpee Indians.
He had often been Mr.. Webster's
guide and companion on his fishing
trips and remembered clearly many of
their happenings 1t was with glow
of love and admiration amounting to
worship that he related how this great
fisherman, after landing large trout
on the bank of the stream, talked
mighty strong and fine to that fish and
told him what a mistake he had made
and what q fool he was to take that
fly and that he would have been all
right if he had left it alone"
Who can doubt that patient search
would disclose somewhere in Mr. Web
ster's speeches and writings the elabo-
ration, with high intent, of that
mighty strong and fine'' talk address
ed to the fish at Mashpee?-" Fishing
and Shooting Sketches" by Grover

The clawhammer, or evening coat,
has many oddities Of cut. These oddi-
ties were once essentials. There was,
in fact, q time when every idiosyn-
Grassy of the clawhammer served some
useful purpose. The cutaway front OF
the coat, for instance, was originally
cut away so that the wearer when on
horseback would not be incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were for
fastening up the tails out of harms
way, each tail having in the past a
buttonhole at its end. The sleeves,
with their false cuffs, are relics of the
DAYS when sleeves were always turned
back and therefore were always made
with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col
lar, with its wide notches, is a sur
vival of the old collar that was notch
ed in order that its wearer could turn
it up conveniently in cold or stormy
weather. The dress coat, in word, is
a patchwork Of relics-relics once es-
sential, but now of no use on earth

The Rain In the Woods.

The lamentable effects of the gener-
al destruction Of forests are now suf-
ficiently recognized in all civilized
countries. Such destruction invites
devastating foods in mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up. Forests act like vast con-
densing screens. They preserve a
moist atmosphere about them, atten-
uate the force of torrential downfalls,
promote a more gradual melting of the
snow in early spring and protect the
soil against too rapid evaporation.
And yet the manner in which forests
act their beneficent part is not exactly
such as might be supposed. They pre-
vent large part of the rain that falls
from reaching the soil at all. 1t is es-
timated that in European climates the
forests evaporate directly or transpire
physiologically four-fifths of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil in equalizing the eli
matte conditions of a country.-Youth's
Companion.

A Literary Tragedy.

When Carlyle had finished the first
volume of his great work on the French
revolution he lent the manuscript to
his friend John Stuart Mill. One even
ing soon afterward Mill entered Car
lyle's door, pale as Hector's ghost, with
the dIsmal information. gasped out in
almost inarticulate words, that with
the exception of about four or five
sheets the manuscript was completely
annihilated. Mill had left it too care
lessly lying about. and servant, think
ing it so much waste paper. had burned
it. Five months of steadfast occasion
ally excessive and painful toll utterly
lost! For three weeks Carlyle could
do nothing but read Marryats novels.
Then one night, sitting talking to his
cook, he decided it should be written
again and eventually finished 'such a
task as 1 never tried before or since"

Dog MIXED Cow.

Policeman Lane, of North
Wilkesboro, had an unusual ex-
p%erlence Thursday morning. He
came across a dog that had gone
unlnvlted into a neighbours back
yard, had hypnotised the milk
COW and was milking her in the
manner of a hungry calf. When
Policeman Lane demanded of the
dog to show his license and tax
receipt permitting such business,
the dog like Brer Rabbit, els lay
low and say nutin," but jis' keep
right on milkin' the cow and re-
fused to leave the premises
whereupon the policeman pro-
ceeded to dispatch him with a

such a stunt before? But
it's hard telling what a dog will
do these days of graft and siren
uosity." -Wilkesboro Chronicle.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The. old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called Aue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much or the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this fue cured

Jones to Submit.

That Franc H. Jones, the abb
sconding teller of the Charlotte
National Bank will submit at his
approaching trial in the Federal
Court, seems to be more fully es-
tablished every day, and in fact
those who are best acquainted with
the case, declare that this will
be the policy pursued by Jones
and his attorneys.
The Charlotte National Bank
is now out of the case, so to
speak, the latter being in the
hands of the federal authorities.
The bank officials, as has been
made known previously, that as
far as a compromise of the case
now pending affects them they
absolutely deny any such proce-
dure. The Charlotte National
Bank also takes no, stock in thu
theory which has it that Jones
has been made the scape goat in
the case, and that he has been
made a tool of by others of sharp
er wits.
The bank people desire that the
law shall take it's course and that
Justice alone shall be melted out.
It now appears that he will
submit, while the government

sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States

tobacco, and that's why chewers of

Get Ready for Cheap Pork Raising.

Now is the time to plan for and
SOW a succession of crops for the
hogs to gather this summer and
fall. Who cannot make pork
production profitable with live
hogs selling at around seven cents
per pound? If there is one, it
will be he who persists in feeding
corn exclusively, and keeping the
hogs in a dry lot. Sorghum, peas,
sweet potatoes, chufas, peanuts
and rape-all of these may be
planted so as to furnish feed that
the hogs will gather themselves,
and afford a good growing ration
from July to the-end of Deem
Der. With the addition of a little
corn cheaper. pork can be made in
this way than in any other. It is
easier to secure 81 per bushel for
corn fed along with such feeds
than so cents per bushel when fed
exclusively to hogs kept in a dry
lot. Nor need merely enough for
home consumption be the limit
of production, there is no better
