meet and take some action on the
matter of an extra session of the state
Legislature, which was referred to them
at the recent meeting of the board of
directors after aid had been asked of
the chamber by the extra session
committee. headed by John w. Altman,
chairman. The extra session matter
was put up to the chamber on the
grounds of the anti-fee system in this
county. 1t is contended that unless an
extra session is held to place this amend
ment into effect the amendment will be
delayed several years. Another argu-
ment is that the first of April the
state will be compelled to borrow $780,
600, unless some provision Is made by
an extra session to take care of the
depleted state treasury.
There are other committee meetings
under way but which have not as yet

Why the Spoon Wa. Black.

The Rev. Fred T. Patton son Of the
famous DR.. Patton, who is following up
his fathers work as missionary to the.
New Hebrides, possesses a spoon
which is a grewsome relic of the old
cannibal habits of the islanders. The
manner in which the spoon came into
his possession is interesting He was
ambushed one day by tribe of saw
ages, who became exceedingly friendly
on learning that he was unarmed. The
chief even told him that he was out
to shoot a few men, but as he could
get them when he wanted they could
wait while he entertained his guest ]
Before he left that tribe they made
him a pudding which was thirteen feet
round. 1t was an inch thick at the
side and a foot deep in the middNs:
the ingredients consisting Of q pig and
some fowls. which were covered with
leaves and baked on top and below
with hot stones. He was about to be-
gin to eat with q wooden spoon given
to him. when native told him some
thing which made him halt This
spoon had been used for eight genx.-
rations as the sacred spoon Of the
tribe. and had figured In all their cam
nibal feasts. Once 1t was white, but
human blood. grease and dirt had
turned 1t to the color Of ebony.

Latest About David.

A London teacher who has been
examining the papers sent in by boys
Of ten or eleven for Scripture exam
ination sends a few Of the choicest
efforts:
One day David saw ten leppards,
and they were calling out unclean.
One of them turned back and started
to come towards him and he was
clean
A Pharisee and a publiccon went
up into temple to pray. One liked
1t, the other did not, so one stopped
and the other didn't. This teaches US
to be kind and not unkind.
A giant named Goliath, the man
OF the Phyistins, was going to fight
Israinel. A young boy name divid
herd him. He said to himself, "I'll
have a go at him" He went to the
Israelits' camp. He said, "I'n have a
go at him."
The Pharisees are frods and donot
keep the law. The Publicans are the
tax collectors. They do not take what
they haft too. They made there
selves more money. That learns us
