"HOW to keepa
Mule From ba|kinQ. .

Did you read the letter,
published in our papers a
few days ago, signed by Mr..
5. j. Leavell, stating that he
did his farm blowing, disc
ing and narrowing for less
money with an SIG Mogul
Tractor Engine than it
would have cost him to feed
the teams required to do the
same work?
Did he have an expert
mechanic TO operate the
tractor? No, he had only a
mere boy running it who had
never seen a tractor before.

of the "Signers" Died.
By a strange trick of fate Thomas
Lynch, the youngest "signer" of the
Declaration of independence, was also
the first one of these men to die.
Lynch was born in Prince George
parish, S. c.. Aug. 3, 1749. He was
only twenty-six when the congress de-
clared the independence of the colo
nies. III health compelled him to leave
congress soon afterward, and near the
close of 1879 he embarked on a vessel,
intending to go to Europe for the bene-
fit of his health.
The ship on which he sailed was
never heard Of afterward, and the
fate of the youngest of the "signers'
remains n mystery. 1t is supposed. of
course, that the ship sank and that
Lynch and all on board were drowned,
but there were rumors that it was
blown out of its course in a storm and
wrecked on lonely island of the West
Indies and that some of the passengers
and crew were saved.
Thomas Lynch was educated in Eng
land and was the son of a wealthy
South Carolina planter. - New York

The attitude assumed in recovery,
which may be instantaneous or delayed

He squirms about, raises his head and
rolls his eyes in an attempt to locate

his hands and knees. If he regains his
feet he staggers like drunken man

LITERARY HOBBIES.

Even Railway Time Tables May Make
Interesting Reading.
Rudyard Kipling finds both pleasure
and profit in reading the dictionary,
and this habit largely accounts for his
wonderful knowledge Of words, his
rich vocabulary and his newness in the
use of words. He does not confine him
self to the ordinary dictionary. He
likes to look at slang edition or a die
tionary of dialect.
There is certain noble lord who
loves nothing better than turning over
the pages of Bradshaw, spying out all
the ways to anywhere, all the branch
lines and noting the railway stations
with queer names. He is an adept in
all railway lore and is often referred to
by his brother peers when moot point
is raised about the iron roads Of the
world, for his knowledge extends from
Charing Cross to New York via Yoko-

JACK SPRAT AND HIS WIFE.
The Original Couple Were an English
Churchman and His Mate,

You know all about Jack Sprat and
his wife. You have had occasion more
than once to call unkind attention to
the lean husband and the fat wife
who contrived between them to de
YOUR all the meat on the platter. Do
you belong with the large majority of
those who have given any considera
ton to the subject, who are satisfied
that Mr.. and Mrs. Sprat came into eX
iStence in the fertile brain of old
Mother Goose? If so you must rate it
as an American production and the
Sprats as a typical American couple.
That they could have developed as a
type in the early New England days.
when the life of the women folk was
particularly hard, seems improbable.
No; the Sprats did not grow in the
soil of the colonies. OF this comfort
ing fact there is the best evidence
