TRIP TO JAMESTOWN
Good Meeting Enjoyed and Many Old
Friendships Renewed

A few days ago Mrs. Jernigan and
pulled rein over Frank for James
town. Our going was in response to-
phone message to aid Rev. c. F..
lively in a protracted meeting.
Nothing of special interest occurred on
the way, save stop-over at Moore
field at noon and an elegant dime r
with Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. f. Moore. This
Is always in season and greatly en-
ioyed by preachers, and | think by
editors and all mankind in general.
But the crops: well, the outlook for
hog and hominy is tip-top. And the
prospects for fine crop of the stuff
that makes the 'all-wool goods" is
fine Nothing TO destroy the corn,
there will be thousands Of bushels
made where hundreds were eribbed
last year, for which all should feel
profoundly grateful.
Arriving at our destiny, we were
domiciled at the comfortable home of
Mr. John Cullens, whose bin had old
corn, and whose table, like all the
VALLEY" ones We sat at, was loaded
with good things to make glad a good
appetite We met with many, many
old friends, among them being Mr..
and Mrs. John Cullens, MIR. and Mrs.
John Barnes, MIR. and Mrs. John
Uhles, Mr.. and Mrs. Billie Pate, Mr..

Bros. Mitch Carter and Sid. Maxfeld
did good work in the meeting. This
is as it should be- Bear We one

of Christi The interest of the meet
ing never waned from start TO finish
and there was sufficient evidence on
the last night TO have justified another
two weeks campaign against sin and
wickedness, but the Baptists we're to
begin meeting shortly and it is hoped
they may gather rich harvest from
the sowing already done.
All in ali it was joyful visit both
to me and Mrs. j. who enjoyed the
outing all the more on account of such
a long inning with our dear people at
home.
The converts were mostly young
people, hence not only is a soul saved,
but life is saved. When an old man
is saved it is only a soul saved, but
life lost-that is, a life as to real
usefulness and service to God. But
young man or young lady saved
early in life, saves a life for useful
ness and service for God and our
fellowman. Let the young take cour-
age and the old take warning

The chief constable of Manches-

queer story of a Newton Heath
workman's unfortunate expert
ence" with a policeman. The work
man was absent from his work for
a fortnight, and when he reappear-
ed his employer wanted an explana-
ton, and this is how the man gave
it:
'Wcll, sir, fortnight ago I had
a great misfortune. l was going
home along street when l
found a policeman leaning against
a wall. He seemed to be drunk,
and thought the best thing l could
do was to take him to the Newton
Heath police station. | did so, but
the moment l got him there he
came to himself and charged me
with being drunk, and the magis-
trate believed him and gave me

ANCIENT SWORDS.
The Famous Old 1.-TWO Handler" Was D
Terrible Weapon.

In the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries the develop.
ment of the sword was carried for
ward rapidly. Hitherto the mill
tary organization of Europe had
been of the most irregular charac-
ter, but in the fourteenth century
the German troops and the men
from the Swiss mountains became
known far and wide for their thor
ough discipline and their excellent
organization. They approached
more nearly to the modern notion
of a soldier than any troops that
had yet been put in the field, and
they were employed as hired troops
by the various European sovereigns.
They were armed with a pistol and
a huge two handed sword, which,
through their marvelously skillful
handling, became one of the most
famous weapons of the army. This
"two handler" as the Germans called
it, often reached a length of seven
feet, and one still preserved in
Westminster abbey weighs quite
eighteen pounds.
The wayy outline of the blade, a
style of decoration that was much
in favor in the arts about this time
and from which came our word
'Aamboyant," or "haming," gave
greater efficacy to the blow. The
prongs below the crosspieces pro-
tected the guard. Welded by train
ed men, this weapon was capable of
doing terrific execution. The brawny
man-at-arms grasped the sword
firmly in both hands. Balanced on
one foot, he swung the blade in
circle above his head and fetched
crashing blow that moved down ey-
erything before it. 1t was favorite
weapon with the English soldiery, to
whose strongly built frames its huge
proportions were well adapted.
Richard the Lion Hearted, who
from his great size alone would
have been the foremost man on any
field, handled this heavy weapon
with such strength and skill that his
name became a terror to the foe.
According to an old romance, an
expert swordsman might hope to
leave sixty of the enemy disabled on
the field. But these mighty brands
had all the faults of their virtues.
Like the cumbrous armor of the
Gothic period, they were a sore tax
on the spent energies of the weary
soldier, and owing to their awkward
size extreme care was required in
handling them lest an unexpected
blow might be bestowed upon some
fellow soldier in the furious assault.
Besides, it took lifetime of train
ing to produce men of sufficient
strength and dexterity to render eff
fective service.-Chicago News.

Still a Puppy,

The youth had only just left col

At home the all engrossing sub

stood most in need of his genius.
The fathers idea of his sons abil-

Chastised Once Again.

When Judge Coffin was a young
lawyer and about to plead his first
case in New Bedford, not being pre-
pared and not wishing to acknowl-
edge being unprepared, he arose
and asked the court to excuse him,
as he had been called to the sick
bed of his mother. In the mean
time his mother, wishing to hear
her sons first plea, had come from
Nantucket and was in the gallery
of the courthouse. She leaned over
the railing and in great Indignation

KING OF THE BUZZARDS.
The California Condor is Rapidly Fol-
lowing the Great AUX.

lowing the Great AUX.
One night in the eighties heifeI
from the Murietta ranch, in south
ern California, was killed by a
mountain lion that lived in the fast
ness back in the San Bernardino
range. From our camp the next day
we noticed several buzzards on a
dead pine up the hillside. One Of
the rancheros pointed out lone
speck floating in the summer sky.
"King of the buzzards," he said. An
hour later the speck had increased
in size, and he pointed to another
speck just within the scope of vi
sion. The next day the old Mexican
took me up the arroyo, and count
ed seventeen buzzards and two other
big birds that seemed twice the size
of buzzard feasting on the carcass
of the heifer. | was interested in
the big birds, but the only informa-
ton | received was a gesture back
toward the highest peak of the
range.
Years later, as my interest in
birds grew, l could get comparative.
ly little information about this
liking of the buzzards," or Califor-
mia condor (Cathartes california
nus), for not many people had ever
seen the bird, and very few had first
hand information as to its nesting
habits.
The report that it was rapidly
following the great aux and that the
species would soon become extinct
was not without some foundation,
for the California condor has a
range more restricted than any 9th
er bird of prey. In the early part
of the last century it was reported
fairly common as far north as the
Columbia river region. But now it
seems to have entirely disappeared
from that locality. Once it was re-
ported in Utah, and DR.. Elliott
Coues saw it in Arizona in 1865.
With the exception Of a record in
southern Oregon, the habitat of the
California condor now seems to be
the region from Monterey county,
Cal, south through the mountains
of the coast range and the extern
sion of the San Bernardino range
in Lower California. There is no
record Of the bird in Mexico.
1t is not surprising that collectors
have searched the mountains and
that museums are willing to pay big
prices for the eggs, for after a cor
respondence of several years Mr.. W.
Lee Chambers has found that there
are now only forty-one California
condor eggs (twenty-six first class
and fifteen second class) in the va
rious museums and private collec-
tons of the world, while there are
about seventy eggs of the great aux,
which Is now extinct. There are
only half a dozen of the birds in
captivity, and that number is not
Hkely to be increased to any extent
at present.-Century Magazine.

The Safety Pin,

The originator of the safety
PIN" said historian of inventions,
''was little boy, an English black
smiths son. The little boy, Harri-
son by name, had to look after his
baby brother. The baby often cried,
and its tears were usually to be
traced to pin punctures. The boy
nurse tried long time to bend pins
into such form that they could be
used with safety to his brothers.

"In this he failed, but his father,
the blacksmith, perceiving the util-
ity of the idea the lad had been at
work on, took it up on his own ac-
count and eventually turned out the
safety pin that is in use today all
over the world"

BREAK WITH VENEZUELA.
Diplomatic Relations Cut on by With.
drawal of Sleeper.

NEW YORK, July THE break
in the diplomatic relations between
the United States and Venezuela
which resulted in the withdrawal OF
Jacob Sleeper, the American charge
d'affairs, from Caracas, is more COM
plete than was at first generally sup
posed.
The full text of diplomatic notes
which passed between Mr.. Sleeper
and DR.. Jose de Jesus Paul, the Ven
ezuelan minister of foreign affairs,
subsequent to the withdrawal of Mr..
Sleeper. indicates that not only are
the friendly relations interrupted.
but Completely severed.
In his letter notifying the foreign
minister of his intention TO leave
Venezuela. Mr.. Sleeper wrote that in
view of the Venezuelan government s
persistent refusal to give redress for
the governmental action by which
American interests have been des-
troyed or eonfiscated." and ''in view
Of the tone and character of the COM
munications received from the Vene-
zuelan government. he believed that
the further presence in Caracas OF
the diplomatic representatives of the
United States served no useful pur-
pose.
DIR. PauI's reply to this was made
in the same tone which chaFacterizes
previous communication. II is de-
clared that President Roosevelt had
persisted in asking redress for Amer
lean interests and individuals without
any justice and right and that vene-
zueIa is not blamable II il does not
permit the nation TO be wrested Of
its rights.
A request for safe conduct made
in Mr.. Sleeper's letter Is refused on
the ground that as no state OF war
exists the Venezuelan government did
not consider It necessary OF 1t to
grant 1t.
