Youth

Don't you recall when apples grew,
Oh, twice as big as now?
When fish, however they were few.
Were monster ones somehow?
When Gaines mill dam made roar
As though the water hurled
Were gathered in a mighty store
From all the wide, wide world?
Don't you remember when the trees.
The oak trees and the beech,
Were lost in clouds on DAYS like these
And eyes could hardly reach
Their waving tops? When noon day
skies
Were oh. such deeper blue?
When Jacks great beanstalk in our
Just grew and grew and grew?
And there were bells more than hne,
OF blue and white and red.
Upon the morning glory vine
That climbed up on the shed.
To be wonder and delight,
So fresh and full OF dew,
To bud and open in a night

Don't you remember when the caves
Were thick and full OF gloom.
Where captive maidens. once. like
slaves.
Were chained in some damp room2
When twilight rustling in the brush
Was some fierce beastg A cow

I think l hear one now.
Come. take little trip with me.
Forget the things that fret.
For you may close your eyes and see
Some things that forget
Why. I've seen uebeard's hidden room
And Cinderella's shoe!
And have seen where violets bloom
So blue. So bluei So bluei

Pearls From Tiny Chinese
Images
Images

Compelling oysters to produce pearls
by placing a foreign substance, such as
small pebbles, in their shells has be-
come an extensive industry, in which
the Japanese have especially excelled.
but the Chinese can claim distinction in
the originality of one of the substances
often used by them. This is none
other than tiny leaden gods or images,
and when the oyster has formed the
pearl around this nucleus, a process
which extends over a period of four
years, the shell is opened and the
prize removed. Usually the pearl is in
the form of the image.

During a history recitation i'm a

Two Dog Stories

= PORT is a yellow dog of obscure
origin, who was raised on condensed
- milk. He early evinced an affection
for my fathers cushioned armchair,
and every night at bedtime c. o'clock
would coax for it, using his tearfully
wiStful brown eyes and. if necessary,
a plaintive, childlike whine. Some
times a stranger would be mystiffed at
seeing the dog reproachfully gazing at
him until it was explained that Sport
wanted the chair. Finally father formed
the habit of removing the cushion with
the dog every morning, and Sport
would doze in bliss by the stove. The
chair must have been uncomfortable
without the cushion, but father never
complained. We refused to compro-
mise further, however, when Sport
dragged the cushion to the chair at
3 o'clock p. m. in vain effort to make
aus place it there for him.
n It was rashly rumored that Sport
was a rabbit dog, so there was some
excitement when we one day intro
duced him to a rabbit. He was a
coward and accordingly thought to
bully the rabbit, and charged; but
when the rabbit turned and chased
him he tore around the yard in fear,
and after a thrilling flight he skunk
to my brother for protection. which
for once was grudgingly granted him.
We sadly concluded that Sport wash t
a rabbit dog.
Sports dread of cold and hard places
even won for him the sympathy Of the
rabbit, for one winters morn when ad-
mission to the house was temporarily
refused him 1 looked out and saw Sport
tremblinglX nesting against the rab-
bit, whose antagonism had evidently
melted to pity for so remarkable a
coward. The climax was reached when
our kitten strolled up and kept him
partially warm on the exposed side.
But Sport still shivered,
NONALD is faithful collie He is
not only a companion but COM
panionable. He has learned to un-
derstand the English language as a
child does. He knows objects by name
and comprehends and responds 70 con-
versation without any gesture or
change of voice.
BY far the most unusual thing he
does is to distinguish the different
songs. Wherever he is lying-perhaps
asleep-if a person is singing he pays
no attention until at the sound of the
first note of one of the three songs he
has been taught to respond to he jumps
TO the piano seat. placing his front
paws on the keys and, with head up
lifted, remains in this position until
the song is finished, when he jumps
down.
What is considered still more won
derful, If the same air is played in a.
different key he does not respond, but
on return to the original key he again
jumps to the same position at the
piano, where he remains till the song
is finished.
At the sound of the first note of
either of the other two songs he
jumps into the chair belonging to that
particular song, never confusing them
All of which proves that he has not
only keen sense of tune. but reason
ing power as WELL This Is mind work
and not an ordinary trick, and skilled
musicians who have seen him do this
have expressed great astonishment
This dog is years old, a thorough
bred and the foregoing is only one of
his many accomplishments.

Sand Sprinklers for Asphalt
Pavement

The street cleaning department Of
Magdeburg, Germany, has made sue
cessful experiments with a sand strew-
ing wagon constructed by a German
inventor. The apparatus is worked by
the driver and can be adjusted to strew
an even layer of sand over a stretch of
pavement from 20 to 40 feet wide. The
sand minimizes the danger of slipping
when the pavements are extremely wet
or frozen.

Hurt at Oil Mill.

Kelly Williams, a negro, had mar
row escape from death while at work
at the oil mill Monday morning of
this week, and as it was he was pain
fully hurt. The heater had become
somewhat choked, and Williams took
an iron rod to unchoke it, and the
mixing knives of the heater struck
the rod when he pushed it in too far,
causing the rod to strike him on the
side of the head and knock him of a
block he was standing on and against
an iron column. His jaw bone was
broken by the blow and several of
his teeth knocked out, and he was
also cut on the head. He is getting
along all right. His wounds are the
result of his own carelessness, and no
doubt he will be more careful next
time.

Buys Home in Spartanburg.

Mr.. John H. Cope, president of the
Bamberg cotton mills, and one of the
most prominent and progressive citi-
zens of Bamberg, has bought a hand
some home in Spartanburg, and bis
family will move there next week.
However, Mr.. Cope himself will re-
main here for a year or so longer and
devote his time to his interests IN and
near this city. That he will eventu-
ally move to Spartanburg is deeply
regretted by his many friends here,
for no citizen of the town is more
popular or patriotic and progressive
than Mr.. Cope. He is one of our
leading men in business and church
circles, and his removal from Bam-
berg will be a distinct loss to this
community.
