press Auction.

Wooster. GA big chest was bought
for 80 cents by Edward Betson, a
f:,rmer, living a few miles north, at

When he reached home he found
the box contained set of burglar
tools and lot of loot. Now he is
afraid he may get into trouble.
He just happened to pass by the
sale and raised 25-cent bid on the
chest. because he thought it was worth
&c cents even if it were empty. Among
the articles in it were dozen auto.
mobile caps, two new suits of clothes
and $27 in bills, wrapped in an old

French Mayor Refuses to Let Him
christen Baby "verdun
Saloniki."

Paris.-Children's names in France
can only be chosen from the calendar
(Which contains all the saints) and
from ancient history, except by special
permission to be obtained from the
states attorney.
At Nice the guardian of the ceme-
terry wished to register his latest child,
a son, as ''Verdun Saloniki," but the
mayor refused to accept such a name,
as being contrary to the law. The
father urged patriotic grounds and
was able to plead that he had had
10 children to name, 10 being still
alive, and so names were somewhat
exhausted in the family.
The mayor was obdurate and the ia
ther determined. He took the case
to the procureur of the republic (the
public prosecutor) and obtained de.
cision in his favor.

Villa Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece
The Princess Alice of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice of Batten-
berg. has spent the past summer chop.
ping down trees to keep herself fit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, q cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees to begin again her work of
encouraging the Greek women to earn
their own living by home sewing-the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chopping
down trees. They have been swimming
every day for an hour and half. in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
fu Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself is fine, strong swimmer now,
but it has not been long time since
Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation,
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times.
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum.
mer place of Prince Andrew and the
Princess Alice, was the favorite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left it to his third son, but un.
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep it up.

are poor as church mice. have four
children, all girls, sad prospect these
days when Europe is full of royal
girls and short of royal boys to marry
them.

COLONY HOUSES FOR WINTER
More Convenient Than Large Building
If Hens Can Run at Large Con.
siderable Part Of Time.

In ordinary seasons hens can run
at large during Il considerable part of
the winter. In this case the colony
house is much more convenient than
the large permanent house. The build
ings are moved to Il spot somewhat
sheltered and banked with meadow
hay, straw or coarse horse manure.
When this is done the hens are just
as comfortable as in the big house, in
fact, we believe more comfortable in
most cases. If the little buildings
have been properly built they are
warm enough.
