judgment which the defunct, before en-
tering into the fields of the blessed,

Anubis, the god of the dead. and
Thoth, the god of wisdom, examine
the deceased by weighing his heart In
the sacred" balances of Justice. The
famous negative confession" enumer-
ates AZ caiptal sins from which the de

NEW OCCUPATION FOR GOAT
Billy and Nanny May Be ProfitabIy
Employed In Clearing Away the
Impeding Underbrush.

The monkey cotton picker was never
pick the cotton. but It cost more to
provide human direction to guide his
efforts than the negro cotton pickers
asked for the whole job, picking, direct
Ing and all. But the Angora goat as
clearer of land requires no direction.
Just string few strands of barbed
wire around the land to be cleared so
that Mr.. and Mrs. Goat and the kids
shall not clear the land that is not to
be cleared and they will do the job
without even casual suggestion from
the land owenr.
The success which has attended the
raising of Angora goats In the rugged
Ozark country of southwestern Nilsson
ri has suggested to specialists of the
department of agriculture that 1t might
be equally profitable to place such
herds on many other wild tracts. par
ticularly those which have been cut
over. because these goats are proving
of great help In clearing away under
brush. Growing mohair and producing
kids. the Angoras In the Ozarks are
also trimming down the brush. manur-
ing the hills and preparing the way
for grass, cattle and sheep.
According to reports secured by
representative Of the state college of
agriculture In Missouri, the Angoras
required to clear an acre of land
varies from two to five. depending on
the density and size of the brush.

Boys Have Lots of Fun
With Their Jack O'Lanfern

One day two boys made Jack
o. Lantern. After they got it done
they set it out on the gate post to
brighten anyone who might pass
by.
4 The boys mother called them.
She told them to go down town and
get some bread. They left Rover,
their pet dog, in care of Jack O.
Lantern. They told him not to let
anyone steal it.
When the boys came back from
town the Jack O'Lantern was
gone.
Tom said,. ooh! l wonder who
took the Jack O'Lantern?"
Jack said, II wonder, too"
The two boys went on a hunt of
the Jack o. Lantern, and where do
you suppose they found it? Why,
under the porch? Fl.
Their pet monkey, Trixy, that
Uncle Ned gave to them, saw it
out there, and she thought that it
would be fine plaything.
OF course, Rover did not dare to
hurt Trixy, because he had been
taught not to. .G.
Rover went and laid down beside
the boys as if to say he was verys
sorry he caused so much trouble.
The boys went and told their
mother and father all about it at
the supper table. Their father
told them they would have to set it
out again; it might scare some one
yet
The boys put it out there and hid
behind the wall and watched to
see if anyone got scared.
There were several children got
frightened at the Jack O. Lantern,
but the older folks did not because
they had played the same kind Of
