Swallowed $11S.25.

This is true story of calf, wo-
mar, veterinary Surgeon, pocket
book and $11S.25.
Luther Calvert had an old pocket
book in his home near Clifton, and it
contained five twenty dollar bills a
ten spot, a five and three ones, besides
silver quarter.
1t was the duty of his wife to milk
each morning, and, not caring to leave
the money in the house while she went
to the lot, she carried it with her.
The pocketbook was dropped and
not missed until several hours later.
Then, however, a thorough search fail
ed to reveal any remains of the pocket
book. Every nook and corner of the
home was searched. but still no pocket
book.
Finally the quarter was seen in the
Lot. 1t appeared to have been chewed
by the calf; which had guilty look,
so it is said.
A consultation was held and q vet
erinsry surgeon was Immediately sum-
monea.
The remains of the pocket-book and
the semi-digested roll were found in
the intestlnes Of the heifer; which was
later sold on the local market.
The remains of the money were
taken to the Bank of Commerce in
this city, Of which S. T. Reid is CASH

government officials in Washington
and will have it redeemed-undigested
money being SEM in it's stead.

With no fat hogs to kill
And all the wheat is gone.

North American Indians avoidance
of the same tender exchanges
No aborigiue OF this country has
ever been known 10 kiss or caress

duigent inquiry has failed 20 evolve
from either the folk lore or The ira
dltions OF the Indians any definite law
or reason against a practice that
seems TO be an accompaniment Of only
the most advanced civilization.
II IS observed. also. that the more
effeminate and sentimental a race be-
comes the more general and popular
OSCILLATION grows. Il IS shown that
among the decadent Romans n bIes

The Latin races OF today are shown
10 be more given 10 kissing than the
Teutons, the Anglo-Saxons, or the

fathers, and sons salute one another
with kisses upon the lips. The same
practice obtains in Italy, Spain, and
