 A full grown man from South Alabama walked into our hard ware store the other day and after buying nine Studebaker wagons for his plantation, said: "I remember hearing my father say that the first wagon he and grandfather ever owned they bought from Dren- l nen.
 That must have been along about the time of the Stude- baker fire in 1875, when Stude- baker was first rebuilding their new factories at South Bend.n That old reminescence got us to thinking of the many old settlers round about that had been doing most of their buy ing here since they first came to Alabama. The policy of the store even then was always to get the best.

The Peacock at Home.

The real home of peacocks or pea
fowls is in India. There they were
and are hunted, and their flesh is used
for food. AS the birds live in the
same region as the tiger, peacock hunt
ing is a very dangerous sport The
long train of the peacock is not its
tail. as many suppose, but Is compos-
ed of feathers which grow out just
above the tail and are called the tail
coverts. Peacocks have been known
for many hundred years. They are
mentioned In the Bible. Job mentions
them. and they are mentioned, too. in
! Kings X Hundreds of years ago in
Rome many thousand peacocks were
killed for the great feasts which the
emperors made. The brains OF the
peacock were considered great treat,
and many had to be killed for single
feast

Slow back and Aye be up are writ
ten all over him. AS a nation one
would say the Scotch were profession
al, the English amateur, golfers, for
there should be nothing dilettante
about the game of golf.
How serious matter it is may be
judged from the old story of the Scotch
minister. Emerging after hot and
unhallowed strife in the bunker, his
profane words still echoing in his ears,
he mops his heated brow and exclaims
bitterly:
"'Ah maun gle it up! All maun gle

The Mystery of Sleep.

II is impossible to give any precise
explanation of the phenomenon or
sleep. Yet many theories have been
advanced. Legendre has shown by
fairly conclusive arguments that it is
due neither to brain pallor." nor to
intoxication by carbonic acid. nor to
the presence Of narcotic substances in
the blood. theories that have been in

his preference for the view that sleep

inherited instinct designed to protect
the organism against the Ill effects of
fatigue.-Harpcr's
