With line tied about him and a

REALLY SEEMED ONLY WAY
Smiths idea Was Bright Enough IL the
Horse Would Only Do His
Part In the Game.

John Smith bought horse. Tho
first Sunday after the purchase he and
his bosom pal harnessed the horse to
a trap and went into the country on
a fishing trip. At the shore of the lake
they embarrassed the horse. and let
1t loose while they fshed.i, az
Presently the sun began to go down.
and Smith and pal decided to get ready
for the return Journey. They caught
the horse, and Smith began to harness
It. But here they met difficulty.
The horse wouldn't open it's mouth for
the bit.
They tried every means they cauld
think of, but still the stubborn animal
stood with closed mouth, placidly
watching them.
At last Smith sat on the ground and
began to tell jokes-horrible, moth
eaten Jokes, that Adam would have
thought chestnuts.
"What on earth are you doing1'
asked Smiths pal.
"Trytng to get the beast to yawn."
said Smith.

An inquiring correspondent asks US
to define 'war profiteer," remarks
the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Now, as the soul Of man is really
the essential and distinguishing part
OF him we may reach the required def
milton by turning to q little story told
In the preface to that ingenious pic

worshipful Master Alain-Rene Lesage,
one Of the first of French story tellers,
a true improvisatore. and the literary
progenit0r Of the English Smollett, and
Balzac and Flaubert.
Once upon q time (that is the good
old way to begin) there were two
students Of Spain journeying together
to Salamanca, the Madison Of CASTLE.
At a halt by the roadside they dis
covered what appeared to be grave
stone. with this curious inscription:
"Here lies inferred the soul Of the
licentiate. Pedro Garcias."
Whereat they marveled greatly. For
while the body or corporal shell of q
man is the frequent subject of inter-
ment and Of the offices Of the physi.

ever before heard Of the soul Of man
being thus disposed Of by the grav-
digger!
One Of the students being Of an inquir-
ing mind and doubtless destined for
what in our day is elastically called
research work." determined to look
into the mystery and exhume what.
ever lay beneath the stone. A little
digging and prying sufficed to get It
up.
"Under it he found purse of leath.
er, containing hundred ducats!"
And that was the "soul Of the licen-
tiate Pedro Garcias." His soul was in
his purse. And the same may be said
Of the "war profiteer," who coins the
necessities of the government and the
nation into the extortioner's or the
grafter's dirty profit.

ners In The County
EMERSON DEAL, LEADER

County Agent II. C. Whiteford an
nounces the winners in the Pig Club
contest for Anne Arundel couny as
follows:
Emerson Deal. Deal postofilce, first
prize. $500; ColIinson Owens, South

Culver Windsor. Deal. fourth prize.
$500; Henry Phipps, Deal, fifth prize.
$500; Edward Lane. Chesterfield,
sixth prize, $500
In awarding these prizes the basis
for the award is given on two things,
the net profit made on the pig counts
60 per cent, and the story written of
just what was fed and how it was done,
with other points of interest amounts
to 25 per cent.
In so much that many of the boys
wrote no story of the contest at all,
these boys were placed lower in the
list than they otherwise would have
been. In this as in all contests under
State or U. S. supervision. the history
of the crop or animal must be given.
