SILENCE THAT WAS WASTED
Aunt Melissa Supremacy Indifferent to
Fact That Pa Had for Days
Been in a bluff"

Aunt Melissa Spigott was such an
exceedingly energetic talher that the
youngsters of the family used to sup
pose that her tongue must be copper
toed, because it never wore out. Uncle
Silas. on the other hand, was as eco
nomical Of words as a marketm@n is
If early strawberries.
The too free exercising Of this un-
Fuly member OF Aunt Melssa's, on
one occasion, gave Uncle Silas serious
offense, which he manifested by Il
severe silence lasting for several days.
At the end of that period one Of the
older daughters approached her
mother upon the subject with the re,

connected with that is striking ex-
ample of the adaptabilty of words
For the source Of clerk" clerical"
and clergy" is a word that has moth
ing to do. necessarily. with either
scholarship or priesthood-the Greek
''kleroc," a lot. There are various
views as to the manner in which
"clericus" was derived from this, some
holding that the service Of God was
regarded as the lot or portion of the
priests, others that they were them
selves the portion of the Lord, and
others that original choice of them by
lot may be the explanation. The later
developments of clerk" are more ia
miliar; our modern clerk" comes
from the fact that at one time the
clergy alone could write And so 1t is
that a clerical error" can be COM
mitted by any layman.

The Dead Sea.

There is absolutely no foundation
for the statement, sometimes heard In
certain quarters. that swimming the
Dead sea is impossible. On the con-
trary, owing to the buoyancy Of the
water. it is almost impossible not to
swim. Equally fabulous is the idea
that no animal or vegetation can live
near its shores. AS to the sadness OF
the waters of this famous lake. 1t may
be said that In every ton of its
water there are 1877 pounds of

What constitutes happiness. is a

MIR. Harvey's Narrow Escape.

A few minutes of outdoor air and
liberty was too much for G.. w. Har-
vey's big Jersey bull the other day.
1t went to his head. and by narrow
margin he was prevented from Grip
ping or killing his owner.
The thrilling affair occurred at
Mr.. Harvey's farm in Taftsville.
The children in going through the
barn yard to feed the chickens the
other morning, left the gate un-
Iatched and free to be blown open by
the wind. Not knowing about this,
Mr. Harvey turned the bull out into
the yard to drink, and moment
later found him in the adjoining
field.
The bull was enjoying himself,
attacking every little pile of sticks
he came to, throwing rubbish into
the air and paving defiance to the
world. He feared nothing. Mr..
Harvey, however, finally got his hand
on the animals nose ring and had
led him toward the barn a few steps
when he found himself on his back
he doesn't know just how it hap
pened--and the bulls head on his
chest.
There was a cry of distress from
the Spaulding household not far
away, where Mr.. Harvey's danger
was seen, and in minute or two his
son Frank ran up and grabbed the
nose ring. which the PROSTATE mans
land still held. Then from the
Spaulding house came three boys,
Lee with staff and pitchfork, and
the number of rescuers was swelled
by Nelson Morgan, rifeman, and Joe
Wood, armed with fork.
Mr.. Harvey was found uninjured
and the bull was led back to the
barn. Mr.. Harvey says it's the first
time he has been on his back this
winter.
The bull weighs 1900 pounds, is
FIVE years old, and has heretofore
been docile and easy to handle.
