and full Of silver and gold and every
thing, in the store of L. V. Cousins, 1920

ing.

A STRIKING CONTRAST,

When a senator is elected in the
United States he sends his creden-
tials on in advance. They are pre-
sented by his colleague, read from
the desk and fled in the secretarys
office unless some objection is
raised, wnen they are sent to the
committee on privileges and cleo
tons for examination, When a sem
ator elect appears he steps quietly
up to the clerks desk, escorted by
his colleague, takes an oath to sup
port the constitution of7the United
States and is then led to a desk on
the outer row, which his cofeague
bas selected, for him, where he re-
ceives the congratulations of his

The bola, consisting of t~o or
three heavy balls of lead or stone
attached to a thong six or eig ght
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless OF
whether it be the legs, neck or
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
AT the approach of danger the
rhea will often crouch fat upon tie
ground with neck outstretched un-

until the dogs have passed This
