The plants of the Sealshipt Oyster System

are packed the day they are dredged. They are
packed just as you get them from us-fresh and

Mendiag A Broken Heart.

An Atchinson Young Thing had

himself up with her. "Tbat Honey
Boy averaged spending fifty cents
week on you," he said. Here's
dollar a week to take his place.
Every time he called he cleaned out
the refrigerator; your mother will
see to it that your brothers do this in
the future. He kept you up late at
nights. Your baby sister is cross,
and hereafter you will let the baby
do this for you. He took possession
of the most comfortable rocker on
the porch; when you look at that
rocker in future it will not be empty,
bringing the pang to your heart that
your silly novels tell about; it will
be occupied by the man who paid for
it, and that's me. Your mother and

APPRECIATION FOR A POET
Sentimental Frenchmen Have Better
Way Than That Displayed by
Colder English.

On the day it was announced that
the body of poor John Davidson had
been found, l read a brief paragraph
showing how such a calamity might
easily have been avoided. The in
habitants of Tourcoing, in the north
of France, are very proud of their
local dialectic poet, M. Jules Wat
teun. Instead of waiting to erect a
statue to him after death they have
made sure that he shall be put be-
yond the reach of financial worry,
that bane of so many poets great and
small, during his lifetime. There
was demonstration in honor of NJ
Watteun last year and public sub
scrintion was opened. The sum col
lected has now been utilized to build
the poet a house, which shall be his
during his lifetime and then revert
to the commune, and in addition to
secure him an annuity; while II his
death precedes that of his wife an
annuity of half the value will be paid
to her so long as she lives

INTELLIGENCE OF THE FOX

The intelligence of the fox is often

perrin, seeing that the fox meant to

head him off. The ground was open,
and for half a mile the whipper-in and

clearly meaning to slip by and find
a refuge in the cliffs. The man turned

A Prayer for 1910.

Today is New Years day. A year
of my life lies untouched before
me-mine to make what l will. A
year from today | shall be looking
back and asking myself what l have
done with that year-what | have
achieved.
Help me on that day to be able to
answer, Il dare not say what have
achieved, but this | know, that with
all my heart l have tried-to care
more for being than appearing good !;
to think more Of being lovable than
being loved; to be as well fortified as
| could against evil and yet to enjoy
each happy day with all my heart
even though l knew that evil was
near; to feel a personal responsibility
for any wrong in the world that |
could help to correct; to be as toler-
ant of other peoples sins and weak
nesses as | was intolerant Of my own;
to be contented with my lot but
healthily discontented with myself;
to cultivate that fine pride that for
ever keeps one above vanity; to COM
pare my achievements not with the
achievements of other people but
rather with my own highest possibil-
tiles; to so live that may pass along
to those who come after me as high
a standard Of living and ideals as l
received; and last but not least to
cultivate every day and every hour
that humble and yet crucial quail
ity-the fine art of being good to
live with.''

To be earnest; to be strong;
To make light the way with song;
Slow to anger; quick TO praise;
Walking steadfast through the days,
Firm Of purpose, sure of soul,
Pressing onward to the goal,
Upwright, even. undismayed,
Sure, serene and unafraid.
To be patient; to be kind;
To be purposeful, and find
Sweetness all along the way;
Loath to judge, but firm to say
Truth with unrelenting tongue;
By no cavil veered or swung
From the right; and to endure
Hopeful, helpful, clean and pure.
To be gentle; to forgive:
True to life and glad to live;
To be watchful and to be
Rich with boundless charity;
To be humble in success.
Strong Of heart in bitterness,
Tender, gracious, thoughtful, good
In our man-and-womanhood.
To be smiling; to be glad
For the yesterdays we've had;
To be grateful all the way
For the beauties Of Today;
To be hopeful and to see
In the days that are to be
Bigger, better, broader things,
Robes of purple, crowns of kings!

Salt Cellars Most Ancient.

That salt cellars were in use in the
most remote times is well known,
as salt dates back far into the night
Of time. Homer qualities salt as be-
ing divine. Among the Greeks and
Romans it occupied the place of honor
at banqEets, and among the wealthy
salt cellars were handed down from
father to son. During the latter part
Of the middle ages the salt cellar was
the most conspicuous object on the
table. 1t was always placed in the
center Of the long table at which the
household gathered, my lord and
lady, family and guests being at one
end, and the servants and retainers
at the other, and in this way ones
social position was at once apparent,
the gentle folk sitting ''above the
salt" and the yeomanry below it.

came into the possession of Col. Camp
bell whom the allies set to keep
watch over the emperor, when he
made his sudden departure from the

ily ever since. The gift is one which

Everybody on MP. Sellers Farm Works

Many of Mr.. Sellers neighbors do
not make half bale of cotton to the
acre. 1t proves that the farm must
be operated as any other business
on business principles. There is as
much in the farmer as there is in the
land, and it is also safe guess that
there are no loafers on Mr.. Sellers
farm. Everybody works there, and
produce more than they consume.
Indifference and laziness do not go
hand in hand with successful farm
ing or anything else. There is too
much idle dreaming of chance to
find an easier lot, something that
will not soil the hands nor tire the
body. Where those who live on
farms get foolish notions out of their
heads they are making a success;
and they live the happiest, freest
lives of any people on earth.-Greens
