The Old Mill House.

| spent a few days asst week at a
farmers house near Ordena, n. j., two
miles from Farmingdale. The house
where | stayed was there in the time
of the Revolutionary war. The house
was built with wooden nails, but it
is very strong. The house in that time
was called the Old Mill House. West
of the house was the mill, which was
worked by the Manasquan river.
There is not much of it standing now
but framework and two grindstones.
Northeast of the farmhouse is hotel
which is called Our Hotel. This hotel
was also there in the time of the Rev
olutionary war. Southeast Of the mill
was a den of desperadoes, who in the
time of war were very much alarmed
and tried to escape, so they took a
team of oxen and cart of hay and
covered themselves in the hay. US
they went along they came to the ho-
tel. There were a few soldiers stand
ing around, and one Of the soldiers
saw desperate, and the soldier shot
him. The next minute they all sprang
from the hay. After little fight the
desperadoes were overthrown and
killed.-Woodruff Crane in the New
ark Call.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell a story. A story well told is as
welcome as a sunbeam in sick
room. Learn to keep your own troubles
to yourself. The world is too busy
TO care for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you do
not see any good in the world, keep
the bad TO yourself. Learn to hide
your pains and aches under pleas
ant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have an earache, head
ache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears
do we'll enough in novels, but they
are out of place in real life. Learn to
meet your friends with a smile. The
good-humored man or woman is al
ways welcome, but the dyspeptic or
hypochondriac is not wanted any
where, and is nuisance as well.-Ad-

URNS 5000 YEARS OLD.
Interesting Relics Found on Site of
Ancient British Nillane.

What is believed to be the site of
an ancient British village has been
discovered on hitherto undeveloped
piece of land situated on q command
ing hill TO the north of the railway at
Pokesdown, Bournemouth, England.
The property, which for many years
has laid covered with brambles, furze,
heath, etc, has recently been cleared
for building purposes, when the posi-.
tion OF two ancient barrows were
clearly revealed. The smaller bar
row contained a considerable quantity
of burnt flint and bone dust, and on
a road being cut through the larger
barrow many urns of great antiquity
were unearthed, a few Of them in a
perfect state OF preservation. They
were what are known as sun dried
and belonged to the period before the
Bronze or Iron Age, being probably
some 5000 years old

WelI-Presscd Cat,

A chair had been placed by the
counter in the drug store where the
stamps were sold. 1t seemed very
convenient. The woman sat down.
She got up as quickly and gave vent
to little scream, for the cushion OF
dark brown had squirmed.
Its cat!" she cried, for after the
momentary squirming the cushion had
curled itself up again and gone back
to sleep.

stIt waIker. Of Lee Lsndes.

The children whom we see running
about on stills, and who consider their
ability to do so a rare Accomplishment,
will be surprised to learn that there
is a vast district in France where the
entire community goes about and tran
sacts It business on stills. This dis
trict Is called Les Landes."
The inhabitants, who are among the
poorest peasants In France, gain their
subsistence by fishing, by such little
agriculture as is possible, and by keep
ing cows and sheep. The shepherds
make use Of their stills for two pur.
poses, first, because walking is quite
impossible on account OF the sage and
undergrowth Of brush, and, second,
because the height Of their stills gives
them greater range OF vision.
The stills are generally about SIX
or seven feet high. Near the top there
is support for the foot, which has a
strong stirrup and strap, and still
nearer the top band Of leather fast
ems the silt firmly to the leg just be-
low the knee. Some stills, especially
those made for fancy walking and for
tricks, are even higher than seven feet
and the man who uses these-and he
must be an expert-can travel as fast
as ten miles an hour. The lower end
of this kind of stilt Is capped with a
sheep bone to prevent its splitting.
Some Of these Landes shepherds
are wonderfully clever in the manage.
ment Of their stills. They run races,
step or jump over brooks, clear fenc-
es or walls, and are able to keep tneir
balance and equilibrium while stoop-
ing to the ground to gather wild flow
ers. They fall prone upon their faces
and assume their perpendicular with

How Bob ObeYed.

am sure you will like to hear
about the dog that travelled from In
dian Neck, Conn, to Middletown, Ct.,
distance Of about thirty-five miles.
The AS had left the hotel for their
home in Middletown. The only men,
Der Of the family remaining behind
was their Oldest son, Donald. He
intended to stay for another week.
Bob, his collie dog, had been sent down
to him for company. He also had his
automobile, which he was going to
run home.
The time passed very quickly and
the day came when Donald had to 20.
When he went in back Of the hotel 10
see IL his automobile was all right, the
dog jumped in the back Of the ma
chine. 1t had Just been cleaned and
Donald did not wish the dogs hair to
get over the cushions, so he told him
to go home, meaning that he should
get out of the automobile. He didn't
think anything more about the dog
and, having found his machine in sat
isfactory condition, went into the ho-
tel to say goodby to his friends.
After having made all his prepara-
tions for departure he looked around
for the dog and to his great dismay
was unable to find him. We all help
ed in the search. and when the stage
returned from the depot one of the
ladies told us she had seen him on
the road running for all his life.
1t was already after 5, and Donald
could wait no longer. He left very
much distressed and leaving us in
suspense as to whether he would find
the dog on the road. The next MORN
ing at about 10 o'clock we got tele-
phone message from Donald. He told
us that his father, who was clergy
man, had found the dog near the
church. Bob had obeyed Donald and
gone home.-Elaine Rail-. in the New
