HUNTING THE LAZY WORM

ed feeling is forthcoming at las, and
the explanation has excited a great
deal of interest.
For quite a number of years We
have noticed on the part o. certain
members of every community, not
only here in the south, but through
out the country, a constitutional re-
pugnance toward work. Their YER
sion of the national anthem was

Even men of native ability have been
infected by it. You would find one of
them giving the Almighty
Advice which he deemed of great
worth:

To keep things a-gOing
While he superintended the earth.
In the humber ranks, where there
was no visible means of support, the
law has occasionally interviewed, and

Over in Africa the tse tse fly is
said to be responsible for the sleep
ing sickness, but in this country we
are unable to account for it.
But it has all been made clear now.
It's the hook worm.
Now, the hook worm, with a fishing
rod at the end, has undoubtedly been
responsible for a great deal of this
distaste for work. The inviting bank
OF a stream on a warm summer day
was well calculated to make any man
rest and loaf his soul" In fact, whole
organizations have been formed to
keep one another in countenance,
and a sort of bond of mutual protec-
ton, while this particular hook worm,
speared on the hook and dangling in |
the stream, wrought its hypnotic infiu- /
snce
The scientists inform us that this
is a different sort of hook worm from
the one they have discovered in the
people of the south. There are ten
thousand victims in Georgia. If We

We do not desire to be fiippant on
he subject of the hook worm, al

Slaughter of the lnnocents

The Duchess of ROxburghe. former
ly May Goelt, of New York, has a hat
decorated with 200 egret feathers.
The hat was bought in London for
$500.
These feathers are found in finest
quality on mother herons on the nest.
and the thOughtless cruelty of woman
practically means the extinction of
one Of the prettiest of all birds.
The dealer who sold the Roxburghe
hat said that it made him ashamed to
think that his sales of egrets meant
the death of many thousands of
young birds by starvation" but that
he had to sell the feathers to live
and to keep in business.
Women are credited with being ten
der hearted, still they are barbaric in
their hardness when it comes to fash
ions.
There is never a thought of the
mother bird dead beside the nest. and
fashion now DEGREES that hats shall be
covered with egrets.-Exchange.

stances had not taken the trouble or pre-
caution to call III Il physician and didn Z
have the remotest idea Of their ailment,
Others knew what they were suffering
from, but the disease had not had n

them, and they had not gone to the
trouble Of calling a physician or report
