the squire was particular in having
brought in and ilumined on Christmas
eve. according to ancient custom.
1t was really delightful to see the old
squire seated in his hereditary elbow
chair by the hospitable fireside of his
ancestors and looking around him like
the sun of system. beaming warmth
and gladness to every heart. Even the
very dog that lay stretched at his feet,
as he lazily shifted his position aud
yawned. would look fondly up in his
masters face. wag his tail against the
floor and stretch himself again to
sleep, sure of kindness and protection.
Supper was announced shortly after
our arrival. 1t was served up In a
spacious oaken chamber. the panels
Of which shone with wax and around
which were several family portraits,
decorated with holly and ivy. Besides
the accustomed lights, two great wax
tapers, called Christmas candles,
wreathed with greens. were placed on
highly polished buffet among the
family plate. The table was abun-

tied down on a telegraph pole and
sighed.
Mr.. Robin frowned. az told you
you were getting too fat down
south there" he said. Now.
what are we to do? We can't set
up housekeeping in the center of a
city"
"Why not?" asked Mrs. Robin,
sharply. i've always heard of the
convenienees of city life and /
mean to try them. I see lovely
location for a home this minute, "
and she fluttered over to a build
ing where there was broad
ledge about half way up, and a
neat little nook upon 1t, behind
the carvings of a tall Pillar.
BEST place in the world" she
cried. "Solid, substantial, private,
wind.'proof, cat-proof-I'm going
to stay"
You'd better look out-you'll
find it's food-proof, too" grumbled
Mr.. Robin. But his wife only
turned up her bill at him. s..
That's your lookout, not mine, "
she said. Here / am for the sum,
mer-hurry, there's beautiful
start for our nest floating down
this minute"
1t was small handkerchief, but
small as 1t was. 1t was heavy for
them. Still, between them they
caught it and pulled 1t in, to the
great delight of the little girl who
had dropped it, and who leaned so
far out to watch that she nearly
tumbled after - and the Robins
couldn't have caught her, no mat
ter how they might have tried.
She made up her mind to help
them some more, and the Robins
found a great many wonderful
things that made their home the
handsomest and Suggest they had
ever had.

Ii ever a boy was unspoiled by

asked him how he expected to
rank this year.
II don't know" he replied with
la grin, drawing his words. "If
it's a good growing season I'm
hoping 1 make a good crop"
Ira w. Williams, government
agent in charge of the South Caro-
lima boys corn clubs, took a turn
across the acre, sinking to his
shoe tops in the soft soil at
every step. THAT is the best
prepared seed bed I ever saw"
|said Williams.
The South Carolina rainfall so
far this spring has been very de-
|ficient. Unless 1911 is to be an
abnormal year, this means abund-
ant rain during the corn-growing
season, and that will help Jerry.
Jerry's corn had plenty of rain
last season. Indeed, he> got SO
much rain that the Widow Jane
Hafnes, who lives on the next
farm, proposed to have the law
on Rev. John H. Moore, Jerry's
father. Said the widow: THE
|parson is praying for rain. We're
getting so much rain it's running

Children.

Remember the first bi-mOnthly ex'
animation will be held in Seward
county Friday, November Bird. The
state board OF education and the
state superintendent supervise the
preparation of these questions They
are for all the rural and graded
schools of the state. Separate lists
have been made for the rural and the
graded schools as each has different
course Of study. We have sent COM
plete lists of these questions to ev-
cry teacher in SeNar county, except
the teachers of the high school. We
hope that the teachers will conduct
these examinations cOnscientiously
and see by the dnal results Of the
examination just how their pupils
measure up with the standard re-
quired. II your pupils can get good
grades on these test questions In an
examination conducted without fear
or favor to anyone and perfectly
fair to all then you may consider
yourself a laborer worthy OF your
hire.
What an eye-opener searching ex-
animation Is; especially In schools
where pupils talk and explain much
and recite very little-where the in
struction is given largely in the form
of running talks without a halt to
test results. Examinations III our
schools cannot cease.
