Women Workers Quite

Three women stood in the corri-
dor OF the court house opposite to
the sherif's Office early this morn
ing. Every few minutes, some
times oftener, Charlie Powell
came along with negro in tow,
gave the required number of raps,
was admitted and the door locked

And Charlie retired, completely

The same tactics were employed
again by the women when 1t was

to discuss the League Of Nationt

"This Is no place to go visiting,

BABO0N PUT TO USEFUL TASK
AS Shepherds, the Animals Are Said
to Develop Traits That Are
Almost Human.

I have often wondered, remarks Mr..
W. c. Scully in the Atlantic Monthly,
why more balloons are not trained as
shepherds. The creatures invariably
develop an absorbing affection for any
young animals, human or other, that
are placed in their charge, and there
is a Northumberland instance of a
baboon taking charge of a motherless
Kafir infant. and guarding 1t night
and day for more than two years.
The simian foster parent perfo med
every necessary function except feed
ing the child.
Several baboons have been trained
as shepherds. In a case that Mr.. Soul
ly himself observed the baboon had
charge of several hundred sheep. He
became passionately attached to the
members of the flock, and remained
with them allslay long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral in
the evening. His only fault as Shep-
herd was the outcome of extreme So
Iicitude; If he heard the voices of wild
balloons in the distance at any time
of the day, he would at once collect
the sheep. and with every appearance
Of the liveliest terror hurry them
home.

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huang Shan Created Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
Is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming
dynasty a Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making it sacred
mountain. A jouI ley to Picking and
nm audience with the royal household
resulted in the appropriation Of large
sums of money for developing this
fairyland of the gods. a brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. It
was decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
CODA. The temple, whose halls 1t
decked, was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called the Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds of priests came to
the mountains, and there was a period
Of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops of all the important
peaks, and at least one temple was
erected far above the line of perennial
springs.

only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,

caused by an infiamed condition of the

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
