CEDAR FOR PENCILS.

Tennessee Tract That Furnishes
! Wood for That Purpose Exclusively.
! Down in my State there is patch
of territory about twenty-five miles
square, near the town where the bat
tie OF Franklin was fought during
the civil war, which Is practically
the only section in the United States
where cedar is grown for no other
purpose than to furnish stock for the
lead pencil industry" said Thomas
Green OF Nashville.
IN that section cedar trees seem
to spring spontaneously from the
soil and the peculiar thing about It
is that they do not grow in any other
section Of the State to amount to any
thing. These forests give employ
ment to many wood choppers and
planning mill workers, who prepare
the cedar for shipment to lead pen
Gil factories in the Eastern States
and to Europe.
can immense amount OF the wood
Is cut, planed, sawed and shipped out
of the town Of Murf~ orc, Tenn,
every year. There have been many
fortunes made in that section out OF
cedar. Cedar trees there are cult

Killed For Their Teeth.

That devastating traffic in elks'
teeth, scalps, ETC., has been carried
on by poachers in the confines of
Yellowstone Park, was revealed at the
hearing before United States Com
missioner Vandyke in case against
William Bankley and Charles Purdy,
who were arrested by Game War
den W. b. Morgan in Los Angeles,
CAL, as the shippers and .consignees
OF elk trophies, valued at almost $1O,-
900.
Among the hrst witnesses called
were tive. deputy game wardens Of
Idaho, Mr.. F,iIrin and Mr.. Harvey.
They told how the poachers, with
long range rifles, would approach
herd OF elk at distance of 100 yards,
killing as many as they could before
the animals starnReded They stated
that the poachers return to their
camps Immediately and 40 not get
the slaughtered animals. The coy
otes and other beasts would strip
the flesh from the bones within
week. Then the poachers would re-
turn. without guns. and knock out the
two big eye teeth Of the elk, which
alone are used, and also take the
horns.-st. Louis Dispatch

monous criticism. According to the
Record, Admiral Dot, the dwarf. who
was at one time a formidable rival
of Tom Thumb, can claim to mon

RIGHT SIDED TONGUE.

Is the Tongue Of the laxative Man
Person Who Can't Keep a Secret.
From the observations made by a
physiognomist 1t appears that the
tongue when quite still can be as
eloquent in giving its owner away as
when 1t is wagging sixteen to the
dozen. This is hard fact for
silent man Ito swallow-in silence.
His only remedy is to keep well 80
as to obviate the necessary injunc-
ton of the doctor to put his tongue
out, for by this thrust out sign the
doctor shall know him.
The tongue OF the talker when OBJ
truded inclines to the ri4ht side oil
the mouth, we are asked to believe,
whereas the seldom used tongue gra-
vitates to the left side. Orators,
preachers and barristers are en- lowed
with right sided tongues. Verbally
parsimonious persons have left sided
tongues.
Furthermore, "the tongue that
shoots out straight without turning |
or wavering indicates a solid, re-
liable man of affairs" Tongues that
turn UP indicate impractical natures.
A downward, dropping tongue be-
longs to a person born in poverty and
q ready eye for the hopeless side Of !
things.
The cruel tongue 1attens and
oroadens when extended. The deli
cate speaking organ with curled up
edges is the property of an magma
i've and artistic being. When the
ongue issues forth as if gripped in
/ dental wise it signifies love Of
life more than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the I'm
!iyidual who thrusts forth his tongue
o its EXTREMIST verge is a person
o whom no secret should ever be
for he is an irresponsible

which the Citizens" assemble for the

Breakfast over, work is carried on
in most Of TIE classes until 1915.
During the morning it is often nee
essary to hold various rehearsa1s. |
Citizens are excused for these by
written order from the recreation de-
partment. Band practice is held for
an hour each morning. At 1918 the
boys assemble and march up to the
tables for lunch, after which there Is
no work except In the Kitchen de-
partment, and at everyone leaves
to participate in whatever games the
recreation department has planned.
Marching cross country is often in
order and sometimes neighboring
town is favored with a minstrel
show. Dress call for the evening

,ises.
