Ward called on me-" he said the

Once, in my own home, I found a
roach struggling In a bow Of water.
[ took a half walnut shell and put him
in it; it made a good boat; l gave him
a couple of toothpicks for oars. Next
morning I saw that he had fastened a
hail to one of the toothpicks and had
evidently been fishing. Then. overcome
with exhaustion, he had fallen asleep.
The sight moved me. I took him out.

boiled egg and let him go. That roach

In h course of his remarks the lee

who had died, leaving to his wife he
farm heavily mortgaged. He said that
the widow set to work with a will and
succeeded upon one years wheat crop
in paying off the entire m~ortgags.
When he had completed his lecture.
The gentleman shook hands and greet
ed the members of his audience. One
middle aged man finally approached
him thoughtfully and began: Il say,
mister, you told a story bout the Wild

ago. well. sir, could you tell me

HOW BIRDS KILLED A SNAKE.

Chance for His Life.


Chance for His Life.
Alma Correspondence Forest and Stream.
Ed Neal and his sister, Miss Jessie Neal
of Alma tell a strange story and vouch
for the truth of it. They had been spend
ing the last month with their father,
Younger Neal, at their old home in the
country near Alma, and one day last
week they were out driving when they
saw in the road in front of them a large
snake of the kind known as coach whip.
Stopping the horse in order to kill the
snake they discovered that a. pair of
mockingbirds were flying at and striking
the reptile with their beaks, first from
one side Of the road and then from the
other. They watched the 5attle, as they
call it, for something like half an hour,
when the snake entirely ceased to at
tempt to avoid the angry onslaught of the
enraged songsters.
Ed Neal got out OF the buggy and going
to the scene of the conflict found that the
snakes head was almost severed from its
body. The neck just back of the head
| was cut down to the skin on Its throat,
and when he picked 1t up the head fell
| down limp. The snake was dead. 1t

EXPERIENCE OF AN
EXPLORER IN CHINA
The Dangerous and Disagree
able Mission Undertaken by
an Agent Of Uncle Sam.
From outing.

Frank N. Meyer went to China with
a sort OF carte-blanche commission
ifrcm the United States government.
Here was the proposition for the ex-
plorer: The United States practically
includes every variety Of climate and
soil. barring the Arctic. Yet great Sec
tions of the United States lie fallow,
marked BARREN Now Korea and
China and Russia have areas with the
same climate and the same soil; but
those areas are not marked barren"
They are cultivated SO they support a
population prolific as rats. Meyer was
sent to see what grew in those reg
ions, to see how 1T grew, to examine
gardens and farms, to learn the fail
ures and to learn the successes OF
those foreign peoples who have been
cultivating arid soil more centuries
thar the United States number years.
to do all this and to send back speci-
mems Of plant growth and of seeds that
gave promise Of development in the
United States.
Very simple, 1t sounds, doesn't 1t?
It was not at all simple in reality. 1t
would take a book to give the explor-
er's experiences. The quest led him to
the far interior, where Chinese sol
diers dare not go. 1t led him to reg
ions known as bandit haunts like The
of the Picts and Scots. Coolies de-
serted him In panic terror. Horses
could neither be bought nor hired.
Baggage had to be carried forward
ION RATS n wheelbarrows.
Night after night, weeks and months
lat a stretch. the explorer had to sleep
in village inns on earthen floors where
the house scraps and filth of 10 years
SUNK in a veritable cesspool. The Wa
ter was net only bad, but 1t was sheer
poison-a vile concoction of rain and
! sewage. Vermin infested every inch OF
such abodes and flies in clouds cor
| rupted food as fast as 1t was exposed.
! Meyers food was canned meat, bis
cults and tea. What with the smell
and the vermin, restful sleep was out
of question.
OF course, the mans health went ut
terly to pieces. 1t wasn't a case Of al
illness with a beginning and an end,
1t was a case of never being we'll; and
the invalided scientist was surround
ed by banditti ruff1ans who had never
before seen a foreign devil" AND
treated him to such courtesies as one
may guess, staring in at every crevice
and crack, day and night, in mobs: ex-
aiming him from the hair of his head
to the soles Of his feet; lying to him
and jeering at him if he asked ques,
ions through his interpreter; accus
ing him OF the evil y If he examined
their gardens; demanding eXtortionatt
prices when he attempted to buy seed.

From an Address by Gerald Stanley Lee.
Printed in Mount Tom.
This town n church commenced to-
gether. One hundred n fifty years ago
this town was the church, this church
was the town, and they were SO tdenti-
fled that practically the church had
selectmen and the town had deacons.
There Is $50 years difference just at
this point in the way Of doing things.
Nowadays q town Is born. and it is
some time before the church comes
and the town is born again. Sharon

time; almost born again before it was
born at all. Ieadville, we are told,

I find the following votes upon the rec
