REM EMBERED HER.

While visiting the Berlin geological
gardens, little Gretchen saw a great
white bird standing on one leg in a
cage. She threw in a piece of candy;
the bird gobbled it up eagerly, and
thrust its head through the wire for
more.
Presently Gretchen's mother came
along. 20 mother, see here! What
kind of bird is this?"
The mother pointed to the sign on
the cage, which read, "The Stork."
"The Stork!" cried the little girl,
enthusiastically. 20 mamma, do you
know, he actually recognized me-

GROUNDED WIRES.
youths Companion.)

AO0bA SSAAResAAV4'y
Power all gone" was the laconic
explanation that Margaret Longley got
when she took her automobile to the
garage to see why the electric starter
would not work.
But l had the batteries charged
only the other day!" she exclaimed.
1T would be just the same if you had
'em charged every day." came the an
swer. There's a wire grounded in
there somewhere, and the electricity
leaks off. You hardly get any good out
of it at all. When I find that leak the
starter will be all right"
A little later Margaret was talking
with friend about young girl they
both knew.
"They say she's broken down with
oyerwork at school," said her friend,
"but it isn't that. She used up so much
strength going out to parties every
evening that she had none left for her
really serious work"
Into Margaret's mind flashed the re.
mark of the automobile repair man.
ut Is evident" she said, "that auto
mobiles are not the only things that
have grounded wires" and she hasten
ed to relate the little parable of the
morning for her friends benefit.
Later, they went together into book
store where young man whom they
both knew came to wait upon them
They noticed with regret the worn
hardened look on his face.
Another grounded wire," said Mar
garet's friend, as they came away
"They say he has got in with a gay
crowd of young fellows, and is going
downhill as fast as he can. Springer's
won't keep him much longer. What g
pity that some good electrician CAM
take him In hand!"
The idea had taken possession Of
Margaret's mind by that time, and as
she went her way she found herself
looking involuntarily for grounded
wires in the lives round her.
She found them, alas! in plenty. The
continual worrying that was sappins
one woman's vitality; the fits Of temper
that wasted fine mans strength ant
nerve power; the constant novel read
ing that was weakening girls menta
vigor; the ceaseless cigarette smoking
that was undermining her brothers
constitution; the plain overeating thai
was running the health Of man who
knew better-those were only the be
ginning Of the list.
Half the people she knew were com
1plaining of being tired, or sick, or mis-
cradle in some way-complaining, In
other words, that their batteries must
be very poor because they got out OIL
order so quickly.
''The batteries are all right" she
longed to say to them. God made the
machine so that 1t is capable of storing
up plenty of energy to keep you full Of
vitality for years to come. Look to the
wires. You've grounded them some
where, and the strength and energy
you ought to have for your work are
leaking away in a useless, purposeless
stream. Look for the grounded wires!'

Womblc- Circuit Judge Scott Wood refused to grant Mt Ida an injunction straining the county seat election call ed for December l.
 Early in October the county judge called the election, in which Womble is seeking the removal of the county seat from Mount Ida to this place. Several days ago Mt.

 The judges action means that the election will be held December l. as previously called by the county judge. An election was held September 1, in which Womble failed to receive a majority of all the registered votes of the county. The voting strength is 2,26S. Three townships did not hold elections.
