 After directions as to where to find the key, she started out, and in a short time came to little white house set far back from the road. The cur tains were drawn, and the porch chairs piled up in one corner of the veranda.
 q didn't know Aunt Mira had such pretty place, but it must be the one. He said the key was behind the blind for the ice man, so I can get in all right"
 The house was prettily furnished, and after opening up some windows, Elizabeth Ann foraged the pantry and refrigerator and found plenty to eat She went to bed about nine o'clock in what appeared to be the guest room, as Elizabeth Ann had been invited by her aunt, Mira Elwell, to spend her NdCdtlon Wltn HeI Ut DtoohSiuS. IiiN- abeth Ann had never been there be- fore. and did not know much about Aunt Mira, except that she was her mothers favorite sister.
 The first two days and nights passed without interruption, but on the third night Elizabeth Ann was awakened in the night by an automobile coming up the drive. Some one unlocked the door and soon Elizabeth Ann heard voices below in the kitchen. She opened her bedroom door and listened, wondering if it were burglars.

Too Much Green Tea Dangerous.

A correspondents reference to green tea as fruitful source of seeing visions reminds one that Sheridan Le Fanu the author of the well-known study in horrors, Doctor Silas," wrote three volumes entitled Green Tea" packed full of thrills and shivers. The victim of green tea drinking was haunted by monkey, or some beast of the ape tribe that appeared to him on every possible occasion. Once, when he thought he was quit of it. 1t materialized. grinning and impish on the seat Of the mail coach. Sixty years ago green tea was freely recom- mended to my student who did much night work and wanted to keep awake. with the disastrous result that a sleep lessness was induced which eventual ly eliminated in extreme insomnia in middle life and old age.-London Morning Post.

A GOOD MISTAKE
By M. ALLINE WEEKS.

t0. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate )
 There was an mir of expectancy about the place. as though 1t had been waiting for centuries for deliverance from the ties that held it there. Even Elias Upton, station agent, general stor" proprietor and postmaster, lay hack in his chair against the wall of the station and slept soundly as the train rattled in. stopped to let pas senger off, and went out again.
 The departing train left Elizabeth Ann standing on the platform with a suitcase fin each hand. Not human being was in sight, except the station agent, and 1t was with some misgiv- ings that she spoke to him. Still he slept, and it took a sharp poke 10 awaken him.
 Bless them fiiesr' said Elias, as he slapped at fly reposing on his bald head. Then he sieepily opened one eye and saw Elizabeth Ann.
 "Well-what do you want?" he said.
 Gan you tell me where Mrs. Elweil ives?"
 Yes, but she went to Boston this morning on business. so she said. Be back Saturday," drawled Elias.

 At this Elizabeth Ann hastily slipped on a kimono and cap and stepped out into the hall, but drew back as young
 man came up the stairs.
 "Well, who are you?" he asked. q think I might ask you the same question:" retorted the girl. "What are you doing in this house in that costume?" said the man. q have every right in the world to be in this house." was the reply. Come, young lady; let's get down to business. Who are you?" My name is Elizabeth Ann Taylor, and I am keeping house until my aunt
 gets back from Boston. She invited me
 to spend my vacation with her; so
 here I am," was the answer. 'sMother, do you know this young
 lady?" he asked, as his mother ap- peared at his side

 "Then this isn't my aunt's house, and I've eaten up all your food, and"
 By this time Elizabeth Ann was in tears. Robert Elwell, for this was Mrs. Elwell's son, walked out and left the two women alone. Mrs. Elweil arranged that Elizabeth Ann should stay with her until some time the next day. when Robert would drive her over to Aunt Mira's.
 When the mistake was explained to Aunt Mira the next day she laughed over it. and she and Mrs. Elwell began an acquaintance which they never gave up. While they talked together, Eliz- abeth Ann and Robert picked an arm ful of beautiful old-fashioned flowers for his mother.
 During the next three weeks Robert Elwell spent great deal of his time with Elizabeth Ann. The momeAtous time came, as it always does, and when the sparkling ring had been slipped on her finger. she exclaimed: And the first time you saw me you thought was burglar"
 "You were then, and you are now. for you stole my heart. and it's oniy fair that play burglar now myself" was the reply.

Opals Growing on Trees.
 Opals grown on trees is one of the latest discoveries of- science. Such "stones" are now on exhibition in the American Museum of Natural History, New York. These sopaIs" were grown in Humboldt county. Nevada, several thousand years ago, by the slow processes of nature. They were fo-m- ' ed from trees which were evidently uprooted and buried in swamp during some earthquake. The trees, many feet under water, became water-logged snags. and then became petrified. The swamp water had become heavily charged with solution of silica. which acted upon and changed the na- ture of the wood, while preserving it's structure. In course of time the wood became "opal," and can scarcely be distinguished from the genuine article. -Leslie's Weekly.

NEW CALENDAR TO
HAVE 13 MONTHS

A movement has been started and
is being agitated throughout the Uni
ted States for new arrangement of
the days and months of the year. The
adherents of the new calendar have
petitioned congress to enact legisla-
tion making the year consist of 13
months. Each month will contain %
days. Each month will begin on Mon
day and end on Sunday. There will
be one extra day left over. This will
be known as "New Years" and will
not belong to either December, Janu-
ary or any other month. Once every
four years there will be another extra
day which will be known as 'Leap
Year Day"
Some of the benefits of the thir-
teen calendar months would be the
facilitating of interest calculating,
and the saving of millions of dollars
that are expended annually for the
printing and distribution of calen-
dars. One calendar would last until
it was worn out.
The 18th month would be called
Liberty" and would probably be the
last month in the year.

THE COTTON SITUATION

If farmers could cash all the ad
vice they get they would be inde.
pendently rich. "Nothing is given so
profusely as advice" is maxim ut
tered by a Frenchman three hundred
years ago. 1t is true to-day as wher
written. The only wise thing for the
farmer to do when deluged with adj
vice is to use his best Judgment. ac-
cepting and acting upon what appeals
to him as right and proper and reject.
ing that which he must know is use
less.
In this time of stress and distress
the cotton farmer needs to use the
plain common sense that comes to him
as the gift of his Creator Every man
Is endowed with talent of some kind
and Scripture teaches that whatever
that talent is, if only one or ten, it
age.
Now comes Mr.. w. B. ThorU, Il
New Orleans cotton expert, and gives
the cotton farmer counsel that MAY

Success

IT'S doing the job the best you can
And being just to your fellowman;
It's making money, but holding friends,
And staying true to your aims and ends;
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking high
And dreaming little and doing much;
It's always keeping in closest touch
With what is finest in word and deed;
It's being thorough, yet making speed;
It's struggling with will to win
But taking loss with cheerful grin: 3"
It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth
And making better this good old earth:
It's serving, striving through strain and stress
It's doing your noblest-that's Success
