JUMPED SEVEN FEET.

"Any news down my way?" re- peated the farmer, as he stopped his team. 'Wall, I kin give you leetle bit, l guess. It hain't earthquakes nor cyclone, but it does purity we'll for our place."
 "Well?" queried the tollgate man.
 'Wall, the news is that Jim Will hams' wife's canary bird got out of the cage the other day and she had to chase it more'n two hours to get it back"
 '"That isn't much news"
 "Nope, 1 s'pose not; but I was saving the best for the last.'
 And what is it ?"
 "Why, tin peddler came along and bet Joe Harkins that he could outjump him, and Joe held his breath and jumped seven feet and won the bet, and it's already settled that we are to run him for the legis- lature next fall. "-Rehoboth Sun- day Herald.

NEWS SERVICE IN AFRICA
Rapid Transmission of Information Among Natives Is a Mystery
 to the White Man.

The rapid transmission of news among Kaffirs and Hottentots is a mystery which even MT. Rider flag gard is unable to solve. MT. flag gard was at Pretoria in 1879, at the time of the battle of Isandhlwana. Twelve hours after the disaster an old Hottentot washerwoman told him that Cetewayo had defeated the British troops, and gave details of the fight. So impressed was MT. Haggard that he reported the infor- nation to his official superior.
 The British official pointed out that 1t was impossible for the news to be true, as Isandhlwana was 192 miles from Pretoria, and no tele- graphic or railway communication existed between the two places. On the following day official confrma- ton of the disaster was brought by mounted messengers, who were dis patched immediately after the battle and travelled at top speed all the way. Yet the natives won by 20 hours, and the washerwoman's story was true in every detail.

GREAT FEATS OF ARCHERY indians Could Send Arrow Throucb ouHa'o's Body, but Ancient Arch
 CTS Surpassed That.

In the days when the buffalo was found in vast herds on the western plains, there were Indians who. while riding at a gallop, could send an ar- row through bufralo's body. Re- markable as this archery was, vet it did not equal that reached by the archers of ancient times.
 It is of record that the MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland, were such skillful archers that they could hit mat at the distance of 500 yards. In 1t94 the Turkish ambassador at London shot an arrow, in field near that capital, 415 yards against the wind and 482 yards with the wind. The secretary of the ambassador. on hearing the expressions of surprise from the English gentlemen present. said the sultan had shot 500 yards This was the greatest performance of modern days, but a pillar, standing on a plain near Constantinople, re- corded shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie, British ambassa- dor to the Sublime Porte, records that in 179S he was present when the sultan shot an arrow 912 yards.

WHY HIS TONGUE HUNG OUT
CoIoreo Driver of Garbage Wagon Said That Kept His Horse
 From Stumbling.

The colored driver of an ash and garbage wagon was proceeding up street urgently exhorting weary, melancholy-looking horse to hasten his steps. The animals tongue was hanging out just as matter of adding to its dejected appearance hanging out so far, in fact, as to oc- casion comment.
 What makes that horses tongue hang out that way?" inquired by stander.
 "What for does it hang out?" re- peated the driver. "Why, that's to keep i'm from stumblin'. Don't yo' know nothing?"
 "Keep him from stumbling! How do you figure that out?"
 "Why," explained the driver, ''don't you see if that hoss was to stumble he'd bite his tongue off /! You know that hoss ain't agoin' to do no such fool thing as that.''

FIVE COMETS NOW IN VIEW
Astronomers Studying Three in the Northern and Two in the
 Southern Hemisphere.

There are now five comets engag- ing the attention of observers-two in the southern hemisphere, three in the northern. Of these three the most conspicuous is Brooks, situated between Ursae Majoris and Lyrae. It's position causes the tail of the Great Bear to appear to have four stars in it instead of the usual three.
 The fourth is, of course, Brooks comet; it is now between the second and third magnitude in brightness. It has been well photographed at Greenwich, and shows tail 15 de- grees long. The second comet of our hemisphere is Quenisset's-the~ first discoverer. It's position on Septem- Der 28 was right ascension, 15 hours, 1 minute, 2914 seconds, and declina- tion 64 degrees, B minutes, s sec- onds. It is of the seventh magni- tude, and can be easily seen in a small telescope. The third comet is the new one discovered by Belpawski at Simies, Russia, at 8 100 a. m. on September 29. It's right ascension was 10 hours, and declination N 8 degrees. It is moving eastward, and was visible low down in the sky to the east from 80 to 5 80 a. m.

 "l simply can't go,'' said Justine. despalrlnglN q haven't any hat"
 Il think you are very silly" said her best friend, Lucille Goodman.
 Justine stabbed needle into the hat she was trimming, viciously. |It seems the irony of fate," she said, that there are hats everywhere and 1 haven't one to wear. If I had had time I'd have trimmed up one Of my old ones, but they'll keep us here until nearly theater time."
 If you only dared" Lucille began, and stopped. She was trimming a rose-colored felt hat.
 "lt is dream" Lucille said. and ran over and put it on Justine's head.
 It came we'll down over the eyes, showing only little tendrils of curly hair about her ears.
 "Look at yourself in the glass;" Lucille commanded.
 Justine looked. "Why, Lucille Goodman, it makes me perfectly beautiful"
 Lucille nodded. "Why can't you? ?" she tempted.
 Justine wayered. The reflection in the mirror showed her a radiant vision. q could wear that little black net dress of mine," she said, land with this hat it would be a dream"
 "Well, you take my advice and wear it." Lucille was emphatic. "You may never have such aonther chance in your life"

ner of the big dining room, all rosy with candle light, she was a thing of beauty.
 But Archie did not comment on the hat. Usually he had nice things to say about what she wore, and she missed his commendation. At last she ventured to draw him out.
 Do you like it?" she asked.
 He was studying the supper card. "What?" he asked vaguely.
 My hat"
 "Yes," he said, and hesitated.
 Then he dropped the subject and asked her if it should be birds or lobster.
 Justine felt distinct sense of dis appointment. She had violated her sense of right in wearing the hat, and she felt unless it had made the impression she had wished to create that all her worry had been useless. It seemed to her as they ate their supper that Archie was not his usual genial self. He had nothing much to say, and all of her chatter brought little response.
 Then all at once Justine started and stared. At the other end of the room group of four people had en- tered. Justine felt sense of panic as she recognized madame, the milli- ner who employed her.
 Archie saw the consternation in her face. "What is it?" he demand ed.
 "1t is so warm in here," Justine said.

NY'S HOG CLUBS IN THE SOUTH

By leaps and bounds the South nrOgresses with crop rotations ,nd stock raising. So long as mtton filled most farm require nents little interest was taken | in other things; but with the eco- nomic need for producing at | home the crops and products erstwhile obtained from t h e North, the southern farmer has shown wonderful adaptation. pr. l |Knapp's plan of practical farm ! demonstrations largely thr ough : the interest of farm boys, has | been most effective in introduc- ling new ideas. Now it is work l ing through boys hog club.
 The object of the hog club is primarily to demonstrate the splendid results from supple nenting corn with the forage crops which furnish abundant succulent feed in the South throughout the year. The boys are interested in hog raising, and the success which follows their trustful adherence to in- shuctlOnS convinceS the older hrm folks of the profits of the business. Railways, business men and farmers are supporting ne movement by donations of pss as prlzes to enterprising pyenlle corn growers and stock men, In one Louisiana parish a Radlng farmer has announced 'aa' ne would give a pig to each @y who would join the hog club and feed the pig according to in. structions.

riedly, and as they started out she went ahead and led him through a side door, thus avoiding the main entrance. When they were out in the street her confidence came back.
 "0h, it's lovely here," she said, ''the air is so fresh. Let's get on a bus and ride up Riverside, Archie"
 He acquiesced. They had a front seat, and, as the wind was blowing strongly, Justine took off her hat and put 1t in her lap.
 Archie looked down at it. 'It is pretty handsome piece of headgear, Justine," he said.
 "And becoming, don't you thinkY" Justine asked, archly.
 "Yes," he said, slowly, ''but-but somehow don't like to see you in it, Justine"
 "Why not?" she faltered, and the red famed into her cheeks. She won- dered if Archie knew that she was wearing borrowed plumes.
 "Oh, Pm afraid you're too pretty in it" he parried. "It seems as if the old one fits in more with me, and the things l can do for you, Justine" She looked at him in wonder. ''Why l should think you'd like to have me look nice," she said.
 q do," he said.
 As they sped along the fresh breeze brought rain with it, and sud- denly Justine uttered little cry of terror. "Oh," she said, "it is rain ing, and I'm afraid my hat will be ruined; we must go inside, Archie"
 But they could not go inside, for 1t happened that the theater crowds had filled the omnibus, and there was no room for them. To get off meant to stand in the street, and in either instance the hat would suffer But Justine made Archie stop the bus, and they descended. Then she stood under the archway of one of the big apartment houses. "You'll have to get cab for me-" she said. '1'm awfully sorry, but I can't spoil this hat"
 She saw his look of disapproval, and suddenly she burst out with her confession. "Oh, it isn't my hat, Archie," she walled. "I borrowed it tonight at the store, and if any, thing happens to it I don't know what I'll do."
 She saw Archie's face brighten and his good smile shine out. "You silly little Justine" he said, "did you borrow that hat on my account?" "Yes," she said, q wanted to look pretty when went with you"
 And I have been feeling all the evening"" he told her, "that I mustn't tell you how much I cared for you l; mustn't ask you to marry me, be- cause I felt that l could never give you the pretty things you craved. I knew the hat must have cost lot of money, and I felt that you wanted such things and I had no right to ask you to be the wife of a poor man."
 "Oh," Justine gasped, q never thought of that, Archie. And I don't really mind being poor if you don't mind seeing me shabby" In the dim archway he caught her in his arms. "You darling," he said, ''I'd love you if you never wore a hat"
 He went to the corner and tele- | phoned for a cab. "You mustn't get into trouble" he said, "and you mustn't spoil the hat" In spite of her raptures Justine's conscience troubled her.
 "I feel as if I'd done a very wick ed thing, Archie" she said. "Mad- anne would never forgive me if she knew"
