MARVEL IN ANIMAL SOUND
Traveller Writes Feelinely Of Wonder
full Bray Put Forth by the
Donkeys of China.

In all the east today the donkey is
favorite means of transportation, both
for travellers and commercial burdens
1t was so in the days of the patriarchss
Isaac and Jacob, and so it will remain
probably for ages to come. But moth
ing in China is just like the same thing
anywhere else in the world, the don
key being no exception. DR.. Chester
of Nashville says: Their gait is
rough, insufferable jog. and their bray
is a unique phenomenon.
THE power Of heredity, working
through millenniums of isolation, with
no modification from foreign admix-
ture, has developed in the bray Of the
Chinese donkey a quality all its own.
There are no words in English to de-
scribe the heart-rending pathos Of it.
1t was as if an appeal to heaven
against the cruelty and oppression Of
ages were at last finding utterance in
one long, loud, undulating wall. And
when our party of three met another
party of six and all nine of the don
keys began at one time to exchange
the compliments of the day, then
pathos gave place to terror and one
could only sit appalled, and trembling
as the mighty reverberation rolled
away on it's journey round the world"

Fortune Telllnd.

Fortune telling is almost as old as
the human race itself. We have no
knowledge of the time when or place
where it originated. We only know
that the practice was in vogue as far
back as we can go. Some claim that
it had its beginning with the astrolo-
gers, who claimed that they were
able to foretell the future by aid of
the planets. The oldest of the ma
tons were familiar with the practice,
and by the gypsies it has been carried
all over the world. 1t is perfectly
natural for man to want to know
about tomorrow ard next year, and it
required but little effort on his part
to listen to the fortune tellers. To
this day the business is carried on
with profit by the gypsies and others
who impose upon the credulity of the
superstitious.

by Mr.. and Mrs. John W. Myers. in
honor of their daughter, Miss Glenua
Eve and friend, Miss Ella E. Rinker,
who is teaching at Eawkinstown. A
feature of the evening was an old
time 'taffy pull" which was a novel
experience for some present. Corn
popping, music, social intercourse
and refreshments made up q pleasant
evening.
Among those present were Misses
Lou, Blanche and Myrtle Ruby, Lila
and Emile Kingree, Theresa Bush
ong, Ethel Jordan, Lonnie Maphis
Clara Arehart. Messrs. Clarence
Long, Dave Jordan, Allen Ruby,
Vernon and William Bowman and
Mr.. and Mrs. B. K. Myers.
o. Sunday while Mr.. John Link
and sister, Miss Mary, were driving
home from Solomon Church, by some
means, one of the back straps came
off, causing the horse to attempt to
run. Mr.. Link jumped out and took
the lines with him, but this simply
made conditions worse and the horse
was soon going at full speed through
ForestvilIe, with Miss Link in the
buggy screaming for help She had
no lines or anyt ner way to control
the horse. After going some distance
Miss Link managed to jump out of
the buggy. The horse ran several
mile before being stopped.
Miss Link was bruised considerably,
and is very nervous but not supposed
TO be seriously hurt.
Miss Link until recently was a tel
ephone operator at Harrisonburg.

To Danish The Cedar.

A large and enthusiastic gath
ering of representative apple
growers attended the meeting of
the Frederick County Apple AS
ISOLATION on last Saturday after
noon in the County Court House.
The object of the meeting was
to arrange definite and effective
plans for cutting cedars in order
to eliminate cedar rust, which has
been causing many thousand dol
lars of damage to the apple in
dustry of Frederick county in the
past severa. years.
Clubs were formed in various
sections of the county, whose
duty it will be to be responsible
for and to see that cedars within
a certain area were cut down.
Many persons not directly in
terested in growing apples prom
ised the apple growers to cut
down cedars on their land, as
they realized that the apple in
dustry vas not only of great BEN
eft to the apple growers, but to
Frederick county as whole.
Resolutions were adopted, re-
questing the cooperation of all
residents of the county in cutting
down the cedars before spring,
as the germs are spread early in
the spring. and in order to avoid
infection of this years crop it
will be necessary to cut dowr the
cedars not later than the last Of
April.
In view of the Importance of
the apple industry to Frederick
county and the large revenue
brought into this section By it,
it is believed that the public-spir-
tied residents of the county will
either cut down the cedars on
their property, or will give per-
mission to the various clubs OPP
Grating throughout the county to
cut them down.
Frederick county has been fam
Gus for growing a high grade of
York Imperials, and this variety
is particularly susceptible to
cedar rust. AS most Of the bear
ing orchards are composed large
1y of York Imperials, it is par
ticularly essential for this section
to exterminate the cedars.-Win-
