JIMMY K. JOHN
He Tries to Get a Job but it
Proves Unsatisfactory

Well, Jimmy got done laying by
| the other day and started out TO hunt
work and got about two miles from
home and some of my friends stopped
me and asked where was going, and
told them / was going to get work
and they told me they had work for
me and needn't go any further. So /
stopped and it wasn't very long until
we started to work. went to catch a
mule and the rascal almost bit my
whole head off. and at almost the
same instant he turned and kicked me
plumb into ditch that was about ten
feet deep and skinned me up badly.
and l was unconscious for a while.
When / came to myself they had sum
moned the doctor and he said, "You
caused great trouble for your friend
and we will have to use Dooley's lini-
ment or you will die
said, "Let me die in peace and
near home, for 1 don't want to go
away from home, -
But wasn't hurt as badly as they
thought was, and used Dofetchit's
Love Powders and made friends with
them.
Well, soon got all right and went
ON to work and got along very well for
a while. but they had patent back
band that they called the Roosevelt
patent, and being a democrat. didn't
understand it. 1t wasn't long until it
came loose and put in two hours try
ing to fix it and at last took out the
blowing. about two miles from there.
But they had used the linjment before
l came to myself and when l went to
jump ON the mule, l just started
straight into the air. But was near
thorn tree and managed to catch to
very top limb, sol held there for about
two hours. BY that time it was sun
down and my friend came in from
work, and / says, "Pal, can't you get
me down from here" and he says,
"How did you get up theres" l says,
~ don't know. without you used the
liniment on me. I got here somehow
mighty easy. but can't get away at
all" He says. II will throw You a
rope and you can tie it up there and
climb down it So he threw me the
rope and tied it, but didn't tie it
sufficient, for when started to come
down it came united, and descended
in hurry, and when hit the ground
I got very badly bruised up. Then my
friend went and got some sticking
plaster and covered me all over with
them. Then he said wasn't the man
he wanted, and I told him that wasn't
the job wanted, that he had too ma
ny Roosevelt patents for me.
Next Sunday went over to SAILS
house and was SO stuck up she said I
was the stickiest beau she had ever
had andI said, ''Yes, Sal, you are the
sweetest sweetheart ever had. too,
and love you like step brother"
Well, as that is about all of Jimmy
K. Johns troubles, he will pull off
for this time.
Yours truly.

The County Superintendent has ad-
opted the course of study recommended
by the State Superintendent, a copy
of which has been furnished every
teacher in the County, and every
teacher has been instructed to give
strict attention to the grading of their
schools. Under this regulation every
school in the County will be graded
alike. which is expected to greatly
facilitate the school work
All teachers in the County will take
notice that the next monthly teachers
meeting will occur on Saturday, Sept.
3rd. This change has been necessary on
account Of the fact that to require the
teachers to attend meeting on July
Goth would necessarily take them away
from the community where they are
expected to teach at time when it Is
imperative that their attention be Civ
en- to completing arrangements for OPP
ening their schools. ALI teachers whose
schools began July 18th may mail their
monthly report to the Superintendent
and receive their pay.

The Liahtnina Bod.

Though Franklin will continue to
receive the honor that is his due as
the inventor of the first practical light
ming rod. the study of atmospheric
electricity goes back at least TO the
time of Tulius Hostilius. who persisted
in an attempt TO draw fire from the
sky. \ learned priest of the name OF
Divisch is said to have erected the
first lightning conductor in Europe,
He set it up at Prendiz. Bohemia, in
1854. and it was 1870 feet high. Though
the Emperor Stephen and the Empress
Maria Theresa publicly proclaimed
their confidence in the inventor, a
most disastrous drought that afflicted
the country year later was ascribed
by the superstitious populace to the
newfangled device, and Divisch was
compelled to take it down. 1t is not
probable that Franklin was acquaint'
ed with Diylsch's experiment.

The story is a tale Of love and mys-

John Glenarm secretly departs, leaving

and possible heir, and IL the thing be

tween the young man and Marian

He confdes his plan to Bates, the
butler and serving man, who is too

Glenarm that Marion has wilfully de-

THE TABLED PHOENIX.
legend Of How the Bird Lived and
Died and Lived Again.

The ancient tradition concerning the
phoenix has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to whatever Is singular or un-
common among its kind. According to
ancient writers, the phoenix was bird
of great beauty about the size Of an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adored its head. its plumage con-
tanned nearly every tint of the rain
bow. and Its eyes sparkled like dia-
monds.
Only one Of these birds could live
ut a time, but its existence covered a
period OF 800 or 600 years. When Its
life drew to close the bird built Tor
itself II funeral pile OF wood and arc
matte spices with its wings famed the
pile into a flame and therein consumed
itself. From its ashes a worm was
produced. out of which another phoe-
nix was formed. having all the yigor of
youth.
The iirst care of the new phoenix
was to solemnize its parents obsequles.
For that purpose II made ball of
myrrh, frankincense and other fra
grant things. AT Heliopolls, city In
lower Egypt. there was magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
semple the phoenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn 1t on the altar of
the sun as sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 800 years or exactly 600 years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
