where lot Of birds were kept ranging from fancy ducks
to famingos and pelicans, there lived an uncommonly
large male whooping crane which seemed to exert
strange fascination over the lesser wild fowl shut I'D
with him. They maintained the closest companionship
all through the out-of-doors season, and when the
whole colony was moved into covered quarters for the
winter the keepers did not have to concern themselves
about Mr. Whooper: they simply bundled the rest Of
the flock into wagon and started 1t off Tor the bird
house letting the big go free He made no effort
10 get away; but installed himself behind the vehicle
and followed it with stately tread, as who should

going along for auld lang sync.
The most lattering OF all the attentions shown him
bv the feathered community came from beautiful
little demoisele crane, which had evidently fallen in
love with him at their first meeting. she would
daily plant herself in front OF HIM and 90 through all
sorts of cOquettish maneuverS, staying there tor hours
at q time He was obviously not insens1lc 20 her
attractions: but preserved an outward COmpOSure
fitting his superior size, and did not allow this mien
to be disturbed by any OF her violent expressions Of
sentiment toward him.
and the whoopng crane and his devoted demoiselle
were separated. Thereupon the big gentleman bird
threw dignity to the winds and he and h'- inamO-
rata spent ali their spare time cOnvcrsng with each
other from opposite ends OF the long building where
the cages were When at last they were Hrought
together once more their JOY amos' pathetic to
witness, and Mr.. Whooper seemed anNou. 10 make
I'D for his past GOODNESS by rlValing the demon
strativcncss Of his little friend.
In the same 700 with these birds was witnessed a
platonic attachment between an aged and dccrepit
female camel and a young male Of her own species.
They were constantly together, and mantle ed their
liking for each other in a hundred ways. PRESENTLY
the Door old female became 50 helpless thar she had
to be Shot. and the young male was discon late. He
mourned for her almost ike a human being, haunt
ing the places where they had been together and
calling to her in vain. 1t was hard TO .n.oce him

was going to pine away and die. These acute
phenomena were not relieved at all for nee days,
and disappeared then only by degrees

commissioners
Of COUNTY To
MEET MONDAY
GETTING ROADS IN SHAPE
from the Effects Of Recent
Rains

The April meeting of the county
commissioners of Sumter tomorrow
will be an important one as several
matters of interest will be discussed
bv the board Road work is receiving
especial attention now, in view of the
damage frought recently by the heaV2
rains and every energy is being pHt
forth to the end of getting the high
ways in their usual excellent condi-
ton. The commissioners will consider
tomorrow the purchase of a motor
truck, to be used in the work of road
repair and many other purposes of
utility. Recent demonstration work
performed here indicated the motor
truck a great labor saver.
The county at present is working a
force of eighty-one convicts, and to the
end of facilitating the repair work, tire
force has been divided into four camps.
One of these is located near Anderson
vile, one at Sumter City, one upon
tn Friendship road while the fourth
is making repairs upon the roads east
OF Americas, in the Flint river dis
tricts.
None of the roads are out Of COM
mission, it is said, but in many locali-
ties they have sustained damage from
heavy rains, and quick repairs are es-
sential. The commissioners will also
consider shortly the request of the
city authorities to have the convicts
work the main roads that lead through
Americas, as is done elsewhere n
Sumter and other counties. The coun-
ty is now paying out monthly on an
average of $4,000 to $4,000 for road
work and all county expenses.

Lets go into mothers apartment
and visit for a while. The children are
there now" said a young matron on
whom l was calling for the first time
in her home city.
Why is this an apartment house?'
laughingly asked, looking about the
beautifully appointed rooms and the
wide hallway.
"Oh, dear MOI exclaimed my
friend. I'VE say mothers apartment
because mother wouldn't come to live
with us unless we gave her little
nook to herself, where she could be

q don't want to interfere in your

mine. I'm still an individual and
have my own little ways of doing
things. | wouldn't be contented to be
under anybody's dictation and set down
in a corner as a dear old lady who has
to mind whether she wants to or not,
so, as my husband loves mother as
much as if she were his own parent,
he arranged to have two connecting
rooms upstairs made into an apart
ment for mother. She has her own
kitchenette and can cook her own
meals if she wants to, though she us
ually takes dinner with us.
She has her own company when
she pleases and entertains them as she
sees fit. If she doesn't care to be =
guest at any of our gatherings she
stays quietly in her own apartment

shuts the door, and not one of IFS
would open that door without knock
ing and getting her permission to
enter.
DO you know what my dear hus-
band does to make an income for
mother? He pays her a trihe each
month for her service as my compan-
len! It's only little-mother would
not take more. But mother doesn't
have to ask anybody for carfare or
for any little treats for herself, and
my husband says he's the winner be-

cause her presence in the house is
worth more than he can ever afford to
pay her
And mother is such a wonder vita
the children! They adore her and
they are always in her rooms. When
she invites them in to lunch they
think it's better than a party.
You'll go back half century when
you step into mothers apartment. The
modern comforts ar! there, of course,
but the furniture is from her old HON
in the country, and she'll show you a

troves and dim old photographs and

So went up and found bumped
over little old woman with twinklin :
blue eyes sitting in high-backed
rocker before a swapping wood fire.
Around her before the fireplace, were
the kiddies, with picture books and
blocks and dolls.
The old lady greeted me warmly anG
offered me hospitable cup of tea
made on an electric toaster stove, it )
true, but in a quaint old china teapot
that looked as if it might have come

out of the room and came back WITH

planned were her own baking, and III
every way played the hostess to all oi
us, including her own daughter,
1t seemed to me that in this case 1T
least the mother-in-law problem was
solved--beautifully.
Couldn't it be solved just as beauti.
fully in other instances?
Truly, every woman of culture and
with a fair amount of self-control will
be glad to deny herself the privilege
of "bossing" or interfering II her in
dividuafity is given reasonable lee
way. And we should not expect all
the self-denial from the mother any
more than from the daughter. Each
has a right to individual expression,
and they will love the more for allow

ARE
OPTIMISTIC AS
TO The CROPS
PROSPECT is MUCH BETTER
Than II Has Been For Some
Time

Among the large number of farmers
coming to Americas Saturday there ex-
listed much better feeling regarding
conditions upon the farm than has pre-
vailed here for several weeks. Few
of them took a pessimistic view of the
situation and the belief, generally ex-
pressed. was that conditions hencefor-
ward would continue to grow better
While work for the past two weeks
has been delayed considerably by I'M
propitious seasons, the early prepare
ton of fields earlier in the year causes
them to hope strongly for good results
in the harvest season.
Corn planting has about been COM
pleted, and the main work upon the
farm this week and next will be in
planting cotton Many farmers have
planted already a portion of their
cotton crops, and the acreage in SUM
ter will not be curtailed to any extent
as the result of unpropitious seasons
recently.
In comparison with conditions at this
date last year, the advantage is in ia .
vor of the next crop. Last year all
farming operations were retarded by
rain during January and February,
while this year fine progress was made
during those months, and the greater
part of March as wen. That the cotton
crop will be practically as large this
year as last season. is generally con-
coded. and the hope now expressed is
that prices next fall will be as good as
those Of last season.

fore there was a building on the

a virgin forest of pine occupied
practically all of the territory
which is now included in the ter
ritory of the iron ranges chief city
He tells many interesting reminis-
censes of the early days Of the
town and says he has spent less
time here the last six months than
ever before in the past twenty
years. He is am enthusiastic Vir-
ginia booster and is one Of those
who is confident the town. is going
to grow far beyond its present pro-
portions.
