Wouldn't Be Fooled Aaaln.

A shepherd once. to prove the quick. ness of his dog, which was lying be- fore the fire ill the house where we were talking said to me in the middle pf senAnce concerning something else. I'm thinking. sir. the cow is in the potatoes"
 Though he purpoSely laid no stress On these words and said tbcin ill a quiet. nnconcerned tone of voice. the dog. which appeared to be asleep. ilnlne- diatciy jumped up and leapinS through the open window. scrambled up to the turf roof of the house from which he :ouid see the potato field. He then. Hot seeing the COW there. ran and look ed into the barn where she WAS and. finding that all was right. came back to the house.
 After short time the shepherd said the same words again. and the dog re- peatetl his lookout. but on the false alarm being the third time given the dog got up and. wagging his tail. look ed his master in the face with so com ical an expression of interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud at him. on which. with q slight grOwl, he laid himself down fin his warm corner with an offended air, as if determined not to be made fool of again.-Lon- don Standard

Scotland and Horse Racing.

Scotland has been famous for Its horses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians. A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve its native breed of horses, and in this connection 1t is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l., did more to improve the race horses In our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse racing as 1t has since been known in England. He it was who first established regu- lar courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tions that led up to the modern laws of the turf Nobody denies that horse racing has done much for the breed of British horses It was a gift from Scotland.-Iondon Answers.

 A great physician once remarsed that, despite Its compl"xity. there was no organ of the body readier to adapt itself to circumstances or more capa. ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This Is very true. and an al- preciati tion of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow the wise mans advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When ws have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplishcs We might well with Wesley say. "Strance that harp of thousand strings should keep ip tune so long" Estimated In scientific fashion, q mans heart in twenty fnG,- hours performs sn amount of work which If repres ontcG hy thc energy dc. mandcd for d biz lift would raise i2' tons of weight one foCt high. S@-b calCu1alcn can fe accurately I 'rr mined by measuring the force exfeuU ed in one beat or cycle of moFcMrnt of the heart and multiplying the sh"r' work into that of the day. Thus in Il" small degree does the hearts lah"I contribute to swell the big total of th' energy the human engine e1rends each day 1t lives.-New York World

Sixino Up Bernard Shaw,

Bernard Shaw Is thus immortalized by Charles HaWtrey. the well known English comedian: "Once on time I had mad desire to produce Shaw's play of You Never Can Tell I wrote to Shaw and asked his permission. He answered that he would come and read it to me. He did and began by saying that sometimes he thought 1t was the Lest play that ever was writ ten and at others he considered it thn greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of opinion that it was pretty poor play and that if produced it-well, I must take the consequences. Some time afterward 1 asked Shaw if could compress the last act. He declined to allow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies I had Rt last to tell him that l couldn't pro- auce the play. His answer was: Thank you so much Voc have taken a great load off my nina Now, what are you to do with man like that?"-- Minneapolis Journal.

4 vevy Restful Rest.

Adolf Menzel, the German artist. at one time engaged on a mural deco ration. He had rigged up a scanoldinS in his studio, on which his model was requested to stand. For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aloft in a most fatiguing posture, Menzei in the meantime worked at his sketch. needless of the fact that his model W aA growing tired.
 At length the model found it neces sary to speak. "Herr professor" said he, "how about recessi'
 Menzel apologIZed profusely for his Expenditures. Certainly, certainly. my dear sir" said he Come down and rest yourself bit"
 The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder. which led Gown from 1t to the studio floor.
 "Stop!" cried tue artist suddenly. ''That pose Is fine. Don't move a mus cle.'
 And once more the model was forced into strained rigidity, while the enthu- siastic draftsman set about sketching him.
 At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from his work. There" |" said he; that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffoid. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again"

An old mini. ter ill the south side of Glasgow who was noted for his habit of dishinS up old sermons again and again was one day advertised tt preach in a suburban church at the anniversary service there.

 "John," she said, as she dished out the breakfast food, Il need little pin money this morning"
 What did you do with the $5 who had promised to love, honor and pay the freight.
 "Oh, I don't remember" she replied Its so easy to spend $5 and have nothing to show for it.

Death Often Unknd In the Manner ot
 Their Taking Off.
 Of the monurchs who have reigned over England since the days of the Norman conquest nearly one-quarter Ut the number have met violent deaths William l. was killed by fall from lis horse. William II. was shot while hunting. whether by accident or de- sign is still one of the unSolved prob lellS of history: Richard l. was killed by a shaft from a crossbrow while beSieGing the city of Chauz. in France: Richard H. was murdered in Pontefract castle, Edward II. was murdered in Berkeley castle and Edward Y. in the Tower of London. Richard III. was killed on the battlefield of Bosworth. and Charles 1. had his head cut off ill London.
 Elizabeths death was hastened by remorse that she had ordered the eX- ecution of Essex. and her sister Mary sickentd and died soon after the loss of Calais declaring that the name of that city would be found after death written on her heart. The death of Edward HIS son. the Black Prince, caused the aged monarch to die of grief. So. after the loss of his son in the White Ship. Henry I. was never seen to smile agaiu and lived only short time Henry Vl and George III. were insane during the latter years of their reigus and finally died from what in these days would be called pareSis. Charles H.. Henry WILL. Ed ward IN. and George ". hastened their deaths by the lives they lived. Only two monarchs died of that great na- tiona scourge. consumption. They were Edward VI. and Henry VII. Queen Annc's death was due as much as anything else to overlooking. Only two monarchs. Henry VI. and George ILL. died after long illnesses.-London ratler.

REGISTER NOW.

Early next month the tax collec-
tor will begin his annual rounds to
the various precincts, and every citi-
zen of Terrell county who is a quail
fed voter should avail himself of
this opportunity to register if he
would vote in the election next year
Under the new registration law it
| is necessary for a voter to register
| six months prior to an election if
he would exercise the right to cast
ballot.
In this county there are several
hundred who have not yet placed
their names on the registration list.
and unless they do this a sufficient
length of time before the next cleo
ton more white men than negroes
will be disfranchised by legislation
that was enacted under the brief
regime of reform" 1t is the farm
er and the business man. who have
something besides politics to think
about, who will be hit by this law,
and deprived of the right of suffrage
The town bum and political heeler
is always alive to the situation, and
may be depended upon to register
and be prepared to do cuisines"
when the time comes.
There can be no change in the
present law until another session of
the legislature convenes, and the
most that can be done is to try and
guard against its unjust and unwise
requirements. The people must
grin and bear it, They clamored for
what We have, and got it. 1t may
be true that politicians with plans
and schemes of their own organized
and encouraged the clamor for the
present law. Too often the politi-
clans do that and the people, not
accustomed to look under the sur
face or analyze too carefully, fully
believe they are leading the move
ment. But anyway, we have got
this law; the people certainly joined
in the demand for it, and they must
pay the freight
There will be more and .-more
murmuring and discomfort as time
goes on, because this registration law
has features that are far from be-
ing wise or wholesome But the
leavening is working, and $after
awhile the people will find the way
to the remedy.
