About the Turkey.

The turkey is American in origin
This name was originally applied to
the guinea fowl. The first mention Of
the turkey in the literature of explora-
ton was made in 1927 by Oviedo in
the "Sumario de la Natural Historic
de las midas" He says that it was
discovered in Mexico and carried
thence by the Spaniards to the islands
of the Caribbean and the isthmus. The
bird was established in Europe by
1880, yet there is possibility that ii
was carried to England by Cabot
from his voyage to northern America
On the other hand, harrington has
labored, but without convincing sue
cess, to establish a claim that the tur
key was known before the discovery
Of America and was introduced from
Europe into the new world.

Cat and Mouse.

The cat and the mouse is jolly game
for children to play. Let all save two
of the participants join and form a
circle. The extra two are the cat and
the mouse. The mouse is allowed to
enter the circle and the cat is kept out
side the circle. The circle of boys and
girls begin singing some familiar, quick
song and go round and round. hands
raised as high as their shoulders The
cat outside watches her opportunity
and leaps inside the circle after the
mouse. The mouse must be on the
alert and run out 1T some convenient
place as the cat enters. Round and
round outside the circle (Which keeps
on moving rapidly goes the mouse with
the cat in pursuit. Then at a conven-
lent time the mouse jumps into the
circle again and the cat after her.
This may go on till the cat is quick
enough to catch the mouse, after which
two others from the circle are chosen
to play cat and mouse, and the game
goes on as before.

The Beauty Diet.
In London household there has

A 100000 Table.

Nemise Ventura, of Porto Rico,
spent most of 80 years making a
table of silver and gold. He was a
miner and conceived the idea of de-
posting the precious metals in the
form of this table. The legs are
gold, the top is of silver, says The
Christian Herald. Around the edge
of the table are designs of ancient
coins; the center part represents a
map of the United States, all being
outline in silver. The table is II
inches in height, 16 inches long and
10 inches wide. The maker esti-
mates it's value at 100000. He is
in New York city now, hoping to
dispose of his prize, but he is so
afraid that some one will steal it
that he scarcely leaves it for mo-
ment. He desires very much to wit
ness the sights of New York, but
says he will not run any risk of his
table getting away from him. This
man has manifested great skill and
industry, and it is to be hoped his
80 years of labor will be rewarded
with a generous purchaser.

Barn and Stable Burn.

Saluda, Feb. 2.-The barn and
stables of U. C. Nicholson, Jr., of the
Delmar section of this county were
destroyed by fire yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock. All of his corn,
fodder, hay and other feed stuff was
burned. His loss Is estimated at
something like $1,000. There was
no insurance.
Mr.. Nicholson was at Saluda when
the fire occurred. It was started in
the rear of the barn and is supposed
to have been set by two of his little
children. It is said they were on the
outside of the barn in the rear play
ing and the supposition is that one
of them had a match and in childish
innocence struck it and set fire to the
ends of the hay protruding from the
cracks of the barn.
For little while one of the little
fellows was missing and at first it
was thought it was burned to death.

May Postpone Election.

Columbia, Feb. 2.-That it may
be necessary to postpone the elec-
ton of the fifth associate justice,
created under the recent constitu-
tional amendment for possibly sew
eral years, is the opinion of several
who have been considering the mat
ter. The senate judiciary commit
tee will consider the matter this af-
ternoon.
Two constitutional amendments
were ratified, one of which changes
the term of the associate justices
from eight to ten years. 1t is stated
that the term of the justice which
will expire soonest is more than two
years and it is not thought that the
election can be held unless there is
some readjustment and it is suggest
ed that all the justices now on the
bench may resign and be reelected
under the new system which will al
low the election at once.

To Examine Returns.

Washington, February 2.-J. H.
Chandler representing the city
council of Sumter arrived here to-
day for the purpose of conduct
ing an investigation as to the
enumeration of Sumter in the
last census. Recently E. Dana
Durand, director of the census, mott
fed Representative Lever that any
duly accredited representative of the
city of Sumter would be permitted
to go owe rthe returns of the enumer-
ators and check up their work, al
though, of course, no changes can
be made now in the official popula-
ton of the city, even though gross
errors be discovered.
Mr.. Chandler presented his ere
dentials and was permitted to start
in on his work of going over the
enumerators' returns.
The work will take some time, but
Mr.. Chandler hopes to be able to
show from the enumeration that the
official count for the city is far too
low.

reach home until after midnight. His
wife had usually slept peacefully at
these times, but number of burg

son was stealing carefully up the
stairs, so that his wife should not
be awakened, when he heard her
voice, high and strained.
