Say Of Other Editors

FLOR the first time in his politi-
cal is t ory, Congressman
IL Howard finds it necessary to
mix and mingle with the peo-
pie in the rural districts. This is
awful nice in Bill. Not very many
Of the people in the rural districts
have had the distinguished honor Of
visit from Bill. Lots and cords of
them never met him. Some don't
even know him by sight.
The story goes that Bill refused
to make appointments to speak in be-
half of Uncle Jimmie Smith at the
crossroads school houses, even at
Uncle Jimmie's request That Bill
did make several speeches for the
erstwhile Convict King" at the
county seats in the towns-but in
the country-no, not that for Will
liam. But now things have changed
'since Betsy died" Bills seat in
Congress is in an awful fix. Sam
uel is walking his log good and prop
er. And presto change! Bill is get
ting right out among them.
Heretofore Bill never considered it
worth while to see the tenants and
troopers" on the big farms. but now
Bill is out after these votes, and Bill
needs them Bill evidently doesn't
like the idea of the rest the people are
going to give him after his present
term expires. In 1906, the Atlanta
Journal had timely editorial on
"Georgia's Overworked Congress-
men," that was aimed especially at
"Our Bill" Remember Bills Ath-
ems, ElbertOn and Hartweu speeches,
don't, you, boys? Remember how
Bill made learned Constitutional
speeches in regard to the negro's
right to vote, don't you? Well, just
ask Bill about that now, will you?
We copy below part of the editorial
referred to. Doesn't it fit Bill nicely?
''They plunged into the campaign
AFTER they had been re-nominated,
and gave their unqualified support to
the ring. They made learned Con-
stitutional arguments against the
right of the State to disfranchise the
negro. They constituted themselves
the guardians of the national consti-
tuition and especially the Fifteenth
amendment; and in fact told the peo-
pie of Georgia that the negro must
be kept in politics upon plane of
equality with the white man.
''The people of the respective dis
tricts represented but especially
these gentlemen, are helpless this
year. They voted them two more
years in Congress, and then there is
the strongest probability that they
will be permitted to take a we'll
earned rest. For the sake of these
overworked Congressman, we believe
they should be allowed to remain at
home"
Well Bill also earned his rest
from Congressional duties March Is,
1909, and after this term he is 60
ing to get the rest.-Royston (Ga.)

Mayor George w. Tiedman of Sa-

why, they drafted this bill the

"The old-time editor Of Georgia was

of voice she elected to use was trem-
ulous and pleading
"Gustavus, dearest, do-do you ever

Reluctantly he admitted that there
were occasions when he glanced care
1essly upon the wine when it was
ready.
"Ah! dearest" she continued, with
anxiety depicted on her lovely fea-
lures, what do you suppose papa
would say if he should discover that
his only daughters future husband
drank?"
"He discovered it yesterday after
noon" responded Gustavus, with some
of the same old reluctance
ooh; and what did he say?" she
inquired, breathlessly
"He said"-the manly young fell

TURTLE VERY HARD TO KILL
One Found Alive Embedded in Clay,
but Glacial Period Theory Was
Disputed.

The weekly meeting of the FaU1al
Naturalists' club of West Hurley, n.
~, was enlivened by debate on the
subject, Resolved, That the turtle is
a hinsect." The negative got the de-
cision, holding that it is a parable.
The members Of the club work on
the Ashokan dam. They were ten feet
down in seam of clay when one of
them came upon rock. With diff
Guilty he persuaded the other men to
quit work long enough to look at it.
After they had viewed it they called
the engineers. These men made the
laborers dig further; then it was seen
that one side of the rock was marked
like turtle shell.
When the caked clay had been re-
moved from the other side of the rock
the engineers were satisfied that they
had found petrif1ed turtle. They put
it into pail Of hot water. BY and by
one man said sadly that he guessed
''petrified" should begin with "p-u'' in
stead of "p-e."
The author of this suggestion upset
the pail with his foot, and soon the
turtle himself settled the question A
scanned and wrinkled head, in which a
pair of white eyes blinked, was showed
out from the shell, and then foot ap-
peared. The other feet came into
view within a few moments, and the
turtle crawled painfully away
The F. N. club eagerly seized upon
the discovery as a topic for it's next
meeting. The members were tired of
hearing essays on the hydra-heade
monster, which has figured so much in
the affairs of the Ashokan dam, and
the presiding officer had trouble in
keeping the debates in order when the
new subject was declared open.
One engineer told the club that the
turtle had probably become imbedded
in the clay in the glacial period and
had been caught in nap in the win
ter OF, say, 1852 B. C.
The argument that won the debate
for the negative, however. was Ahat
the turtle had been caught the win
ter before work was started on the
'Ashokan project. Every requirement
OF antiquity being met by this theory,
which had the added virtue of -,
bolizing the rate of progress on -
dam work, the judges found accord
ingly.

Dog Went Through the Paper.

A story went the rounds in New
Richmond that Chief Brooks had been
attacked by vicious dog. The New
Richmond News found that the story
was exaggerated. Mr.. Brooks had a
pet dog that he had been teaching to
jump through a hoop covered with
paper-just like the circus pups.
The other day when the chief was
lying on the rug, he picked up the
newspaper to read, not thinking of the
dog. The dog thought it was the
game and make good running Jump
through the paper, landing his north
rear paw in the fire department chiefs
eye and his south paw in his mouth.
The dog went through the paper all
right, but the New Richmond News
and Republican Voice insists that he
also, in about three seconds, went
through the window, screen and all

of having been violently lifted.

ing eye out for fires and his face

BUILDING CHEAP HOG HOUSE
Convenient Structure for Animals May
Be Placed in Side of Hill With
out Much Expense.
CIV w. D. NRALE, Missouri1

(By w. D. NEALE, Missour)
A very convenient hog house may
be constructed in the side of a hill
without much expense.
If the hill slopes to the south so
much the better. An excavation can
be made in the side of the hill the
desired size of the house. The dirt
may be thrown out SO as to form an
embankment to the north, east and
west
Posts can be set in the ground and
two by four pieces nailed on them
upon which boards for the covering
may rest The roof should slant to
the north, so that the sun may shine
under as far as possible.
Good ventilation must be provided
at the top and draughts shut out
This will be an excellent place for
brood sows to farrow in, for they will
be protected from the weather.

mirer of the horse, says that horses
are more desirable today than they
ever were, and that because of the
fact that SO many dealers In fancy

market for good horses and are sell

Cause of the Tides.

The tides are due wholly to the at
tractive force of the sun and moon.
Every particle of matter composing
the earth gravitates toward the moon
inversely as the square of its dis
lance
By the law of gravity the attractive
force of the sun and moon decreases
with the square of the distance For
that reason the nearer surface of the
earth is attracted with greater force
and the further surface with lesser
force than the center The resultant
effect is to cause tendency to recede
from the earth's center in parts i'm
mediately under the sun or moon and
also on the side most remote from
them.
The waters of the ocean ar free to
yield to this tendency and h ice they
tend to be heaped up into four tidal
waves day-two lunar and two solar.
The lunar tides greatly predominant,
the others being observable chiefly by
their action in reinforcing or diminish
ing them.
AS the earth turns on itakNaxis these
waves cause two principal alterations
of high and low water every twenty
four hours in every part of the ocean,
called flood tide and ebb tide.
When the solar and lunar tides are
in conjunction the maximum, or
spring, tide takes place. When they
are 80 degrees apart there occurs the
minimum tide.

RUINS It's PATH0S
LITTLE INDIAN BOY PLAYS HAV-
&C WITH ~HlAWATHA."
AT Critical Point of Glen Island Play
Genesee Breaks in With "Has
Anybody Here Seen
Kelly?"

Genesee is a seven-year-old Indian
boy who lives in a wigwam on the
shore of the sound at Glen island
where tribe of Ojibway Indians is
reproducing "Hiawatha," the Indian
love play, for city children, who have
been hearing Indian music on the rec
reation piers this ummer. Genesee
never heard of Arthur Farwell's rem
dition of Indian music, though he has
learned from his father some of the
two and three-tone native songs or
the Ojibways, and he knows, of course,
the chants of the Indians as they
dance and perform Longfellow's great
poem.
The other day Genesee, who was
born up On the Cattaraugus reserva-
ton and is the grandson of the Indian
who holds the medal for being the
finest physical type of Iroquois left
alive after the inroads of civilization,
wanted to introduce a flying machine
into the most critical part of the per-
Torrance. He has been looking at the
papers and has cen pictures of Curtiss
sailing through the air. With crack
er box the boy had made fair flying
machine model and wanted Breathes
Hard, his father, to have a big one
made so that the soul of Minnehaha,
after she had been buried" in the
branches of the trees Gin the forest
deep and darksome, underneath the
moaning hemlocks," could get back to
earth
Old Nokomis, his grandmother, who
takes the poem play very seriously
refused to listen and his father cuffed
him for the unholy suggestion. This
made Genesee feel bad. tits too old
fashioned he secretly told the an
cient arrow makers daughter while
he was dressing for the part of the
boyhood of Hiawatha. But waltz"
The next day he went over to the
beach dressed in little shirt and leg
gings, to swim with the other bathers,
and there he heard a song that had
more than three tones. 1t was full
of notes, and they rippled up and
down the scale to the ravishment Of
his little ears. There was one line
that pleased him very much. 1t be-
gan, HAS anybody here seen Kelly?"
He got away by himself and sang it
over and over.
The next morning there was a re-
hearsal in full dress. The play had
reached the point where Hiawatha
paddles away across the lake to the
tent of the ancient arrow maker and.
killing a deer, throws it down at the
feet of Minnehaha and her father.
Across the lake the voices of the In
dams rose and fell in harmony The
voice of the hidden reader came: "At
the doorway of his wigwam sat the
ancient arrow maker; at his side, all
in her beauty, sat the lovely Mime
haha"
Just then in the tense silence out
on the float at the lower end of the
lake appeared a tiny Indian boy, his
feather head dress trembling with ex-
cftement at the example of modern
progress he intended to give, and,
stretching up his arms skyward to the
abode of the Great Spirit, he sang in
a boyish soprano that could be heard
all over the island
'Has anybody here seen Kelly,
Kelly with the green nscktie?"
That was as far as he got, for Kwa-
sind, the young man, lodged out of
the doorway aud bore him away.
