CuRsING WORSE THAN MURDER

"a personal grudge against him.
A strange story about the curse on
"cussers" is told and believed In Wa
tauga county, North Carolina. A very
profane talker died and was buried In
the village graveyard" No grass ever
grew on his grave. The burial took
place forty-nine years ago. and, al
though all the other graves are sodded
over with grass, flowers, weeds and
vines, the earth over the spoI wnul,
the "cusser" les buried seems TO be
cursed, and no plant grows there. The
dirt is as bare and hard as Il is In
the middle OF trampled road.
John c. Orting, a citizen OF Watau-
ga, says that he was present at the
time the old man. whose name was
Hatton, was buried. He says the old
gentleman had died curslng. All the

RUNNING THE ,RHEA.
nelselvs Of Ostrich Chased With Dos
and Horse.

Relsslvs Of Ostrich Chased With Dos
and Horse.
For the person who desires q
unique form Of sport running the
shesr in southern Patagonia IS rec
commended. The rhea is member
Of the ostrich family, but somewhat
smaller. It runs with the swiftness
Of a greyhound or fast horse and
has q lmack of doubling on its
track, which often serves it in elud-
ing its pursuers. Tho natives IN
hunting it use horses, dogs and the
bola. The dogs course after the
fleeing bird In full cry, while the
hunters follow after at top speed,
prepared to throw the bola If op-
portunity offers.
The bola, consisting of two or
three heavy balls of lead or stone
attached to a thong six or eight
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements of the bird, for the
balls Irvine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless OF
whether il be tho legs, neck o.
wings. This permits the dogs anC
hunters 10 overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approech of danger the
rhea will often crouch fiat upon the
ground with neck outstretched un'
der the grass, remaining motionless
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful when
tho wind is blowing against thu
scent, but when the contrary Is the
case the dogs soon discover the hid
Ing bird. In this case, doubtless
bcwildered by the sudden failure o.
It's artless ruse, it makes no attemp
at escape.
The chase of the rhca, which
sometimes extends over q distance
!, Of FIVE or six miles, is thrillin,
one. II has for the rider all the OK
element of horse race, with tn
added satisfaction Of knowing tina
the winning of the race will result
In a welcome addition to the larder
Tho wings Of the rhea have a flavo
not unlike that OF turkey, and
, ono is not aver,e TO the taste o
horsenesh the meat gof the thigh
very satisfactory. The rhea is on
; Of the main food supplies on a Pat
! agonian hunting trip.-New Yor

People Forget He's IN

The time when a merchant can
sit in his store and make a suc-
cess selling goods depending on
the fact that the people all

in this country. People are

ness in community for twenty
or thirty years is no sign that he
can do business the people know
him and know he is in business
People demand to know what
merchant has for sale and at
what price it can be bought. The
only way for merchant to tell
the people what he has, at what
price the article can be bought
and the location of his store is
through the medium Of the news
paper. People whose trade is
worth while cannot and will not
they are too busy-stop and
read sign on fence or shade

around the family fireside or on
the front porch they will read
the message of the live merchant

and buy. When he gives out a
message-like a political party
he must carry out the promises
in his platform. No merchant
need think OF making a success
these days without a liberal
amount Of advertising in the

When the tongue of trade is
coated, when the eyes and limbs
Of the clerk are dull and languid,
. when the raging fever tackles
the empty vitals of the till. when
the spider roosts in the cashbox,
and boquets of decay are on the
chandeliers, 1t is conclusive that
the advertising doctor has not
: been consulted.

The Editor And The Advertiser

Once on time l knew man
, Who said it didn't pay
To advertise the goods he had
To sell or trade away.
To prove that he was off his base
And make him clearly see.
! gave him half a page of space
I, And let him have it free.
IT almost scared him into fits
To see himself displayed
AS displayed him, but he felt
It's influence on his trade.
l kept it up, his business doomed
The customers swooped down
Upon his store until he had
The biggest rush in town.
One day / went around to call
And found him on the run,
With people waiting for their turr
When those ahead were done.
.s'Well, WELL" / cried in great de
light,
To see things boom that way,
Don't advertising pay, old man
What have you got to say"
I. thought he'd like my work 81
much,
And think my plan so nice,
That he'd not only praise m,
3 wares,
~, But pay me double price.
And did he do it? Listen, please
/ thought that I'D drop dead
When suddenly he turned on m
= And vigorously said:
s'Take out tina. advertisement
quick;
> Coldern yer pesky skin,
IN never git q chance to rest
Ez long ez it stays in"
