rHE LAST MEssAeE-

death bids his beralds go their way
- On red trimmed bicycles today.
Arrayed in blue with streak of red.
A boy bears tidinge of the dead;
He pedals merrily slong.
Whistling the chorus of a song;
Passing the time of day with friends
Until the journey almost ends:
Then, slowing down. he scans each gate
For the doom'd name upon the plate
That found, he loudly knocks and rings.
Hands in the yellow missive; sings
His song. The maid says at the door
mo answerY' and he's off once more
No answer through the empty yearsl
No answer but a mothers tearsi
Edward Shillito.

Farm & Family
There is not much activity in the
horse market The South, for the first
time in twelve months, has made few
purchases. Most or the stuff sold for
British and French army uses were at
prices around 1925 TO $3.50. The French
do moi require extra quality, but their
horses must be serviceable, halterbrok
en- and handle we'll and above fifteen
hands.
Our philosopher says: Every farmer
who can own self-binder an ridin'
pillow can fix pump on the porch or in
the kitchen so his wife won't have to
break her back totin' it in all sorts of
weather.
Emmett Cecil, of Pennington Gap, Va,

Cumberland Man the Most Unlucky
Man of the Day.

Cumberland, Nd, Dec. 23.-John
w. Kavanaugh won the pennant in
the Hard: Luck League and will play
his shadow in world series for the
measles and the gate receipts. Fact
is, it was his wedding day, but as
things developed it wasn't.
Mrs. Kavanaugh had an appoint
ment to marry Mis- Katherine Brill at
twenty minutes past ten and by half
past nine was dressed neatly but not
gaudily for the ceremony. At ten
minutes of ten he placed a large white
chysanthemum in his lapel, and at
10 o'clock he started on foot from his
house, which, like the church, is near
the outskirts of the city. He had
walked half a minute at rapid pace
when three men came running at him.
The three men, who seemed to have
drilled for robbery, jumped upon MIR
Kavanaugh and after reducing his
silk hattie an aigrette they took his
watch and 5000, with which. he intend
cd to start housekeeping. Then they
fired one salute, which went through
his left arm. -. =
When Mr.. Kavanaugh arrived at
the church his bride-to-be refused to
be bothered with details Of, his ,.ex-
periepee, complained. that: the. whole
party had waited !" for nearly TWO
hours and called the wedding off for
ever.
Mr.. Kavanaugh, when asked for a
statement gave it, but practically no.
thing can be done with. it. as an item
of news. Briefly, the matter annpys
him. :: :,

!. CAPE HENRY FORT.
Representative Holland Says Pro
ject Will be Approved by
Congress.

Norfolk, Dec. 23-That Congress
would probably take favorable action
on the Cape Henry Notifications bill,
the appropriation for the initial work
on the big dry dock at the Norfolk
navy yard and the National Guard
pay bill, was the statement made by
Representative E. E. Holland of the
Second district, who spent several
hours here Tuesday.
Colonel Holland was particularly
optimistic in regard to securing the
appropriation for the Cape Henry
project, tho41gh he said it was not
certain yet as to how much the COM
mittee would recommend for this work
He was also hopeful as to the success
of the bill making available the money
to begin the preliminary work for the
dry dock, saying that all that could
be expected Of the present Congress
was to get Norfolk approved as the
site for the dock, which the appropria-
ton for the preliminary work! would
equal
Washington, Dec. 23.-As meas
ure preliminary to beginning the
great coast Notifications at Cape
Henry; the government is preparing
to abandon the three story frame
structure now used as the Weather
Bureau station at the historic Cape.
This building is said to have been in
use for so years, and said to be to
fiimsy that it cannot be moved. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston, under
whose jurisdiction the Weather Bu-
reau comes, asks in his annual report
an appropriation of $4,000 for new
site and building for meteorological
purposes at Cape Henry.

Young Jones ventured on the ice
to test it; he had walked short dis
lance from the shore, when the ice
gave way. The youth threw out his
arms and grasped the jagged edges
Of the broken ice.
Although the nearest house was
more than half a mile distant his
screams for help were heard. His
cries brought Harne, who was driv-
ing by with his brother, Albert
Harne, The boy had been in the
water for more than Is minutes and
was about exhausted when Harne
: arrived. He pulled q rein from the
harness of his horse, and making a
moose, threw it about the drowning
boys head and shoulders. He then
drew the boy from the water.
Young Jones was taken to the home
of his grandmother, Mrs. John Jones,
near by, in state of coma.
