Windows In Poultry House.

Put the windows in the poultry house low down to the floor, so that the hens will get the benefit of the light and sunshine when scratching for their feed. The trouble with windows set high up, is that they let the sun. shine in on the perches when the hens are on the floor scratching, and when they are not on the roost the sun doesn't shine, so there is no euui.

HORSES EXPERIENCE.
Fell Forty Feet Into Unused Well and

Injury.

Mr.. J. J. Hipp, of Pomaria, who was
in Newberry on Monday, tells of re-

Mr.. Hipp was in Orangeburg on Wis

The horse, which is a large animal,
weighing about 1,100 pounds, fell into
an unused well. The well is about 40
feet deep, with clay walls. The horse
remained in the we'll all fight, and was
taken out next morning, not hurt in
the least. In lifting the horse out OF
the we'll, block and tackle and three
mules were used.
Mr.. J. H. Hipp, was of course, de-
lighted to recover the animal uninjur-
ed, and, while the horse was unable to
tell of it's delight, it is only fair pre-
sumption that it was not loath to leave
its subterranean dwelling place.
The horses plight was discovered
when one of the mules on the place
walked to the we'll and looked long

Philadelphia, Dec. l6.-Rev. Ernest

able Lutheran congregation in the city,
f1ayed the Stotesburys and others of
equal social prominence who have
been holding dances at Which the tur-
key trot and other pophiar terpsi-
chorean stunts were the features
The noted clergyman likened So
ciety in Philadelphia to the days OF
Salome, and said there was more need
of John the Baptist now than at any
other time. He called theidances and
the functions which had Recently been
held as highly immoral, and in the
course of his sermon saida ii
"Can you imagine John the Baptist
doing any different today than he did
centuries ago? 1t is not difficult to
conjecture the import of his message
to the social leaders of To-Day, who, In
an environment of artificial costly
luxury and profiigate splelidor, permit
the repetition OF an immoral dance
beside which the dance of the daugh
ter of Herodias does not seem bad
at all.
