The Camel's Stomach.
(The Presbyterian)

The stomach of a camel is divided
into four compartments, and the
walls of these are lined with large
cells, every one of which can be
opened and closed at will by the
means of powerful muscles. When
camel drinks, it drinks for such a
long time you really think it never
meant to leave off. The fact is that
it is not satisfying its thirst, but is
filling up its cistern as we'll. One
after another the cells of its stomach
are filled with water, and as soon as
each is quite full it is tightly closed.
Then, when a few hours later the
animal becomes thirsty, all it has
to do is to open one of the cells and
allow the water to flow out. Next
day it opens one or two more cells,
and so it goes on day after day I'M
til the whole supply is exhausted.
In this curious way camel can live
five or six days without drinking at
all, and so is able to- travel quite
easily through the desert, when the
wells are often hundreds of miles
apart.

A BIG ENDORSEMENT.

The Ladies' of the Macabees num-
bering $4,000 members have en-
dorsed woman suffrage. They have
a capital of over nine million dol
lars which is wholly controlled and
administered by them. When or.
eanizations consisting of women OF
responsibility and aims such as The
Macabees, recognize the value OF
the ballot for women it is high time
to accord dignifed consideration to
their views, and any man who as
says to dispute the right and proprie-
ty of such women expressing their
opinions in the government they
help to maintain, is either an eyre
gious egoist or a presumptious igno-

Buying Things You Should Grow at
Home is Waste!

Progressive Farmer.
Whe we buy at rs cents pound
a strip of bacon or a ham that we
might raise at home for 10 cents
pound, what goes with the IS cents
a pound difference? The man who
grew the meat and the middle man
get it, you say? Quite true, but in so
far as you and / are concerned, does
not this IS cents pound represent
waste? Might we not as well throw
the money in the fire and be done
with it?
Then how about the fellow who
buys canned stuff instead of getting
it from his own garden and orchard;
who buys corn, hay, lard, syrup and
even butter? This is pitiful waste
that has too long held the
South in bondage to the supply mer-
chant and the farmers of the north

LATEST ON THE FORD.

(Tune of Casey Jones)
Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs the other
day,
And the gosh burned fool threw bis
money right away,
Rode into town sitting right on board
And he came ridin' home IN a darnnd
little Ford.
When he came to the house and got to
the gate
He shut down the throttle and he put on
the brake,
He grabbed for the reins, got the throttle
instead,
And the goI darned Ford kept a chugg-
ing ahead.
CHORUS.
Old sZeke Perkins bought an automobile
Old Zeke Perkins whiskers were red
Old Zeke Perkins lost the combination
And the darn little Ford kept chugg-
Ing ahead.
Zeke jerked on the levers and he turned
off the gas,
He kicked at the pedals and he broke
out the glass,
He cut all the wires and he pulled off
the top,
But the gosh darned Ford it just wouldn't
stop.
He pulled out his knife and he smiled
so serene.
Cut hole in the tank, drained out the
gasoline.
He pulled out his gun, shot the tires full
of lead
But the gol darned Ford kept chugginp
right ahead.
Went right through the fence and I'D
through the lane,
saw him coming and she like
to went insane.
She ran out ahead, then she stopped TO
see,
And the Ford struck her squarely where
the hustle ought to be.
She reached out her arm as she went in
the air,
Just as Zeke went by she grabbed him
By the hair;
She bounced ON the seat, landed down
in the bed,
And the gol darned Ford kept chugging
right ahead.
He steered for the shed but just missed
the hole,
Struck an old pig and you ought to see
it roll
Out through the yard then they landed,
in a heap,
In big muddy pool, bout six feet deep.
Zeke grabbed 'Mirandy and waded for
the shore,
He was glad that it stopped and wouldn't
go no more.
He pricked up his ears then he looked
back and said,
why, the gol darn Ford is chugging
right ahead.''

man and Of making trouble If Mr..

VETERANS AND WIDOWS.

Mr.. T. ]. Roach of Rock Hill, writes
The Enquirer that in the list of vete-
rams and widows, published recently,
there are a number who are drawing
pensions, and whose names for that
reason, we're not desired in that list.
There has been much labor in this Of
flee with a view to eliminating such
names as do not properly belong to the
list, and while many have been left
out, some have been overlooked. This
is especially true in the case Of wild
ows, the trouble being that some send
their own baptismal names and some
the names of their husbands, when as
a matter of fact they should send both
names. Mr.. Roach has the names of
the following old soldiers who are not
on the pension roll, and which have
not been previously published:
