Billy Gray, the Cornish miner,
whose rugged piety has been bless
ing to so many of Gods children,
SAYS that one year his crop of pota-
toes turned out poorly; and, as he
was digging them in the fall, Satan
was at his elbow and said: There,
Billy, isn't that poor pay for serving
your Father the way you have all the
year? Just see those small potatoes.
He stopped hoeing and replied.
"Ah, Satan, at it again; talking
against my Father, bless his name!
Why, when | served you, | didn't get
any potatoes at all. What are you
talking against Father for?" And on
he went, hoeing and praising the
Lord for small potatoes-a valuable
lesson for US all

Il had always heard that New Eng

sician who has "graduated' from
village practice remarked the other
day, "but I hardly thought it deVel-
oped at such an early age"
He smiled reminiscently, then con-
tinued:
Just after I settled in Dobbs Cor
ners a 12-year-old boy called on me
one evening.
-" Say, doe. I guess l got measles,
he remarked. "but nobody knows it

one of the charms of music is that
the musically uneducated person does

Initiative" music, however, the case
is quite different, and every passage
has either an obvious or a thtnly con-

to decipher certain unusual noises, as
the following story from Fliegende

Prohibitive Expense

Columbus plainly foresaw that he would
never discover America until he should have
beguiled the fears of his sailors by making
the egg stand on end.
But with eggs 60 cents dozen this Is
impossibe!" he exclaimed ruefully.
King Ferdinand hereupon suggested having
his law officers proceed against the egg trust
that was the best he could think Of doing;
but Queen Isabella with deeper insight into
the necessities of the case, straightway offered
to pledge her jewels, which We're Of immense

TOO EXPENSIVE

1t is elementary, although genuine
kind of humor, that prompts man
to make a ridiculous remark in a
serious manner. The fun increases if
the remark is taken at its face value.
A case in point is that of a gentle
man, who, according to a writer in
the Twiggs County Citizen, was
talking to a crowd on the street about
shingling a house.
The old rule he said, "Was to al
low six inches of the shingle to show
to the weather, but that is too much.
You really oughtn't to let more than
four inches show"

Carnations Go to Sleep

Florists often suffer losses through a habit
carnations have of sometimes going to sleep
and never opening again. A series of expert
ments made in the Hull botanical laboratory
ant described in the Botanical Gazette make
it seem probable that this sleep is caused
by the effect of Illuminating gas, to which,
even in very small quantities, these flowers
are surprisinglY sensitive.

"The Lion and the Mouse.r

All of the favorable and far-reach.ng
comment that has run rife over This
country for the past four years re-
garding THE Lion and the Mouse"
does not seem to wane with time, but
rather on the contrary, bears evidence
OF being proudly on the ascendant.
The feeling has not lost it's spirit loo
ally, as the anticipation of the coming
engagement of Henry B. Harris pro-
duction of the Charles Klein drama at
the Grand on next Friday evening has
aroused a great interest in this great
play OF present day business prin-
ciples, in this city. Mr.. Harris is said
to have carried out his ideas of high
standard IN the selections of his best
players, and stage mountings for the
organization to appear here. That
master OF types, Charles Klein, has
given the stage as perfect a picture
of the rattle-brained girl, dazzled with
the knowledge that she can marry In
to nobility, In the character of Kate
Roberts, in "The Lion and the Mouse,
as one would wish to see. From one
point of view, it is highly amusing,
but when the thinking American real.

good dollars have gone abroad to
make unhappy international mar.

and sink into serious speculation.

large initiation at that place on May
%. Last year more than forty Of
the local Knights attended the degree
work there, but on account Of the
fact that a special train Is planned to
be run from this city to Iowa City
when the class is initiated there this
spring, the Muscatine representation
to Clinton will not be- as large as in
the past. On account of the excellent
railroad connections, many will no

FELL Down Hill
Death FOLLOWED
Sad Death Of Opal Marie, the Twenty.
One Month and Eighteen Day
old Child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Griffith.
WAS TAKEN BY sPAsMs
Three Hours Later the Child Had
Passed Away-only Marks OF
Fall Appeared on chlld's
Face This Morning.

A very sad death which occurred last
evening was that Of Opal Marie. the
twenty-one months and eighteen days
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. g. E.
Griffith, of 321 Ridge street, and their
youngest Of three children.
Death was caused by spasms brought
on. it is thought, by fall which the
child took about s o'clock in the
afternoon from steep hill Just below
the home. The house is situated on a
high bluff and within short distance
from 1t. The little girl and her broth
er Charles Floyd, aged four years,
were descending the bluff when the
little one fell and tumbled over Ave
foot hill near the bottom of the bluff.
The baby did not scream but in COM
pany with her brother and hand in
hand the two started up to return to
the house. The mother met the two
children when abou.. half way up and
helped them the rest of the way.
A short time following the incident
the little baby girl went into spasms
and doctor was summoned. He
thought the spasms resulted from
stomach trouble and cutting teeth, for
there was not single bruise upon the
child to show that it had been injur.
ed
At $3.50 o'clock, amidst the sorrow
of the parents the little child passed to
the great beyond.
This morning after the body had
been lifeless for number Of hours
there appeared on the left side of the
face faint bruises, the only evidence
OF the fall that are discernable This
evidence was sufficient to cause the be
reaved parents to think the child.
death resulted from spasms caused b,
the fall late yesterday afternoon.
The Griffith family consisted of tn,
parents and the three children: Ollie
age six years; Charles Floyd, ag'
four years and Opal Marie, age twenty
one months.
|. The parents have the sympathy o
many friends in the sad death Of theil
youngest child.
The funeral is to be held tomorrow
afternoon.
