The Mystery Explained.

Clifton Hess. an employee OF the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad at Shelbyville,
Ind. relates the indianapolis News,
looked out the window of the freight
depot the other day and noticed a
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly,
moving down the railroad track n few
feet. She seemed to be strolling leis.
urely along, covering about foot a
minute.
Curious TO determine the reason for
her actions. Hess walked outside 10
get better view. Then II was all
explained. The woman had big
Rhode Island Red rooster with n
string tied to his leg There had
evidently been lnaky car Of wheat
along the railroad. and the rooster, oh
livious to all else. was calmly filling
his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there ap.
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached Ia
them by strings As the ground be.

moved from view.

The kings recent visit to Port Glas-
gov recalls fact In the history OF
ships and shipbuilding which has n
particular interest at the present time.
As everybody knows. observes the
Montreal Herald, 1t was from Port
Glasgow that the first steamer ever
built, the Comet, owner Henry Bell,
was launched In 1912. She was a 30
ton vessel with an engine of three
horse power, and was found TO be so
successful that within the next two
years two larger craft were construct.
ed. One of these was the Marjery,
and from the Clyde the Marjery was
transferred to the Thames, and piled
between London and Gravesend dur
ing the first months of 1873. But she
was viewed with disfavor by the
Thames watermen. She was very
much of novelty, and they were sus-
picious of novelties besides, they con-
sidered that this Scotch-bult boat In
terfered with their rights. So the
Marjery left the Thames for the
Seine; her owners having sold her to
French company. To reach the Seine
she had to cross the channel. and she
was thus the first steamer TO do so.

The Twelve Tables was the name
given to the earliest code OF Roman
law. According to the ancient ac-
count, the code originated in this man
ner: In the year 462 b. c., Roman
tribune brought forward a proposal to
appoint five men 10 draw up set OF
laws with the view of limiting the
power of the consuls The aristocracy,
always furious, selfish and unwise in
their struggles with the common people
of Rome, violently resisted this reform
and for eight years fierce warfare
was carried on between the two orders,
which ended In sort Of partial victory
for the plebeians. In 454 II. G. the
senate aSsented to the plan of sending
three commissioners to Greece to re-
port on the laws in force among the
different states there After lapse
of two years they returned and II was
then agreed that ten men should be
selected to draw up n code. Accord
Ing 10 Livy and Diodorus. the laws OF
the Twelve Tables were cut on bronze
tablets, whence their name, and put
up In a public place. Whether these
tablets were destroyed by the Gauls
when they sacked and burned Rome Is
uncertain.

Probably the most expensive error
usually made by our farmers is the
failure to keep books that will enable
them, ut any time, to tell whether they
are doing business at profit or loss.
Many of our farmers can't tell at the
end Of the year whether they have
made money or lost money. Should
any other business be conducted In this
manner. nothing but failure would be
expected. Exchange.
