A TURTLE BITE.

In reply to his worst experience
with these kind of, reptiles" Mr..
Dabney said. Il have had those big
swapping turtles that stand up on
their hind legs and snap at you. My
father was in the catering business
and l learned it from him. 1t is said
that if turtle gets hold of you, he'll
hold you until it thunders. Well one Of
them got hold Of my finger right
here. You can see the scar there
now. l was thinking nothing when he
snapped me. The finger felt numb
l yelled and the family came. /
thought of way to get loose, and 1
tried it on this male turtle. 1t worked
and he opened his mouth. never
know why 10 had not snapped Tux
'gg'v f.
We used to let the turtle bite some
thing after we had tcascd him and
then we would hang the thing that
he held up to the ceiling, the weight
of the turtles body drawing the
head out of the shell We would then
cut off the turtles head, the body
dropping to the floor.
A turtles head will live three DAYS
wen after ii is buried. You can dig
1t up and it will show signs of life
and bite you. had learned something
about turtles and tcrrapins and

with those diamond back tcrrapins

II way to climb up stairs Moreover
some times, he has swapping turtles
down there too, and l wouldn't be

had a regular "colony' OF diamond
back terrapins in the cellar at his
home. They cost nothing to raise
them he said. "All you have to do
is to dig up the ground and sprinkle

Influence of the Newspapers.

The newspaper is today the most potent element in civilization. It's audience is practi- callv unlimited It reaches every class of peo- ple It penetrates to every hut and hovel on the fartherst confines of human society. The schools have an influence and gather the chil- dren of high and low. But after shchools are outgrown, teachers forgotten, and books moul- dy and dusty, the newspaper is still constant companion.
 No public speaker, be he preacher or po- ltical orator, can draw audience of one-ten- tn that which greets the average newspaper of matter of vital importance to the welfare of the community. The influence is widespread and lasting.

 Whether keeping lonely vigil in the trench es, whether attacking machine gun nests. or per forming the drudgery of the rear or supplying the front line, each man has done his duty, and he has felt that he had behind him the support of the whole country. By his courage, indomi- table will, his splendid organization and his tenactlty, the American soldier has turned i'm pending defeat into overwhelming victory"

The days of the mossback are numbered. We are entering upon new era-a world with different atmosphere and from now on things will move differently. The man who fails to read the signs of the times correctly and puts his house in order to meet new conditions will be as so much rubbish cast by the way side to be trampled under foot by the advanc- ing hosts of modern ideas and thought. The young, virile blood of the country is getting in the saddle and soon it will have the reins of the country in it's grasp and then the world will move as it decrees. The young man with modern ideas and progressive spirit is the dy- mamie force that will soon upset the old order of things and start the world to moving in a different direction.-Stephens News.

If I should die tonight My friends would look upon my quiet face Before they laid 1t in it's resting place, And deem that death had left it almost fair And, laying snow-whte flowers against my hair Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness And fold my hands with lingering caress- Poor hands, so empty and so cold tonight
 If 1 should die tonight My friends would call to mind with loving
 thought Some kindly deed my icy hands had wrought, Some gentle word the frozen lips had said Brands on which the willing feet had sped The memory of my selfishness and pride, My hasty words, would all be put aside; And so should be loved tonight
 If l should die tonight Even hearts estranged woul turn once more to Recalling other days remorsefully, inc eyes that chill me with averted glance Would look upon me as of yore perchance. And soften, in the old familiar way; For who could war with dumb unconscious
 clay? So might rest, forgiven of all, tonight. Oh, friends, pray tonight, heep not your kisses from my dead, cold brow; | lie way IS lonely, let me feel them now Inink gently of me; am travel worn; IVY iailreihg feet are pierced with many
