Look how a little bat holds on, whiried
about through the air with all sorts of sharp
twists and turns. And monkey, agan-as

the same way as our mothers and nurses car

oh, dear! She would stand poor chance
in running from leopard or treecat if she

There are many other varieties Of opos-
sums inhabiting America. The Nirginian
opossum. the most northerly representative
ol the family, has the honor of being the
very first Marsupial recognized by science.
Another, called the Yapock. spends most of
its time in the water like the otter (thus fur.
nishing the resemblance to another type), and
has webbcd feet.
There is one called the cancrivorous opos-
sum (Didclphys cancrlvora). from its habit of
feeding the crabs / had a specimen of this
kind once, but he was not well disposed; he
wouldn't cat crabs, though he did dcvour
bread and milk, fruits, rice, paper boots,
shirts, and such portions of myself as were
accessible to him from time to time. Finally.

The Story of a Boat

and save the lemon beer at any rate"
1t was as much az four of us could do to
get the water-logged boat alongside, even
after the skipper had brought the yacht up
into the wind.
1t was blowing a perfect gale now, and
things began to look little bit exciting, il
not serious. We could not lift the heavy
case of bottles out bodily so father lay down
outside the rail of the yacht. and began to
snatch out the bottles as fast as he could,
one by one. But the skipper kept crying:
Hurry up, therel Wen be drifting on
the rocks presently!
"Don't give the rope, boys" warned
father; but, in snte OF us, the rowboat was
slowly sinking.
Meanwhile. none Of us had noticed that
the tcndcr-rope which was fastened to an
iron rod at the stern of the yacht, had slipped
over the side G OF the latter opposite to the
boat, and had passed directly underneath the
keel Only about half the bottles in the case
had been removed, when the skipper shouted:
:, Ease her. off; boys and get ins'de-qu'ck!
The gust of wini struck us with great
violence. and drove us, facing it as we were,
right toward the rocks.
"Heads down." cautioned the skipper.
The boom flew over with tremendous force,
the sail filed, and the yacht started on a
close hauled tack. with father and his friend
trimming in the mainsail with all their might
lust at this juncture the quick eye of the
skipper saw the tender-rope curled over the
stern and passing unier the keel
"Cut that rope-quick!" he cried.
| sprang for the stern, whipping out my
poo ket knife as ! ran.
The rope was just growing fatally taut.
Another instant, and the weight OF the sink

heam-cnds
The knife was sharp and the rope stretched.
The instant the steel touched it it was severed,
and tn" rceling yacht righted, and sprang
forward Ike a race-horsc through the white
capped waves.

poor old "v oman's boat" roll into the trough

Asheville Citizens.

One of the best advertised towns
in the state is Hendersonville. The
stories of strange and uncanny
happenings, from the startling
discovery of a subterranean river,
have gone the rounds, and have
found their way into newspapers
in all sections of the countrv.
Thus it happens that eur enterprisz
ing neighbor has received, and is
still receiving, more press mention
than any city in the South.
And it happened thusly. In a
moment Of inspiration a number of
Hendersonville' enterprising bus
mess men conceived the idea of
establishing a press bureau. While
the idea was not exactly a new one
was certainly a novel move
for North Carolina cities to have
a regularly established, and paid
press bureau. Several cities had
talked about having such an, insti-
tuition, but the movements gener-
ally ended there. But Henderson
vile went to work. The bureau
was established in charge of a
trained newspaper man, Mr.. T. R.
Barrows, and soon the good peo-
pie of the South sat up and "took
notice" They were IDEALLY impress
sed with the fact that Henderson
vile was on the map, and that
there were several live wires So
,iourning therein.

At The Lyric.

Quite a large crowd of pleasure
seekers journeyed to the new Ly

the opening performance. Three
reels of motion pictures were used
which were of the high type. The
management feels highly encouT
aged in the prospects for the sea-
son. The ventilation Of the Lyric
is said to be one of the finest ar
ranged theaters in the South.
The .program last night was
composed of the following pieces:

Cure, Bridget and the Egg.
