the Gopher Snake will find it and come in after him. Digger the Badger Is the only enemy who can dig fast enough to dig him out. But at night, when he comes out for a little air, or to cut grain and grass, he has to watch out for Hooty the Owl Old Man Coyote and members of the Hawk fam fly are always watching for him by day. So you see he has plenty of enemies like the rest of you.
 'He got the name Gopher because that comes from another word mean ing honeycomb, and Grubby's tunnels run in every direction so that the ground is like honeycomb. He isn't bit social, and has rather mean disposition. He Is always ready to fight. On the plains he has done a great deal to make the soil fine and rich, but on hillsides he does great deal of harm. The water runs down his tunnels and washes away the soil. Because of this and the damage he does to crops he has made man his worst enemy. But man has supplied him with new and splendid foods, easy to get. and so Grubby's family in creases faster than ie used to, in spite of traps and poison. Hello, see who's here. It's about time.''
 There was a shuffling of feet, rat ting and grunting, and Prfckly Porky the Porcupine climbed up on a stump. He looked very peevish and much out of sorts. He had come to school, but he had done it against his will He had come because Old Mother Nature had sent for him and he hadn't dared disobey.

A Ten Years' Hunt

Obviously. he was a backwoodsman. Stopping painfully, without bending his stiff knees, the old man picked some thing up
 Ever and anon, as those something's glittered in the gutter, or grass, or anywhere, the old man would stoop and pick them up an drop them with me- talic ring in his capacious pockets.
 They were little round things.
 But, were they old coins, rare and Of valued date? Precious they were, no doubt, for he guarded them well. Pearls could not have been fingered more care- fully than these round bits of metal. bent, dark and antique looking.
 Another one reposed in the dusty street. Moving quickly toward 1t, the old man was about to pick 1t up. but too late! Another. younger and quicker step was before him. and a hand gloat- ingly snatched the coveted coin.
 "Oh, sir,' cried the man. with tears in his whiskers, give me that yon coin. I've been saving 'em for ten years. one to make up the amount. Oh. kind sir!''
 Why, this isn't a coin; it's a beer check!'' cried the disappointed youth. Gosh! I thought it was quarter"
 T know" cried the old man. I'm from Deadwoods, Dakota. and I've been savin' all me life fer one grand spree all at once. Please give it to mel"
 "Huhv' sneered the youth. "Only poor guy from some deadwoods town would keep these things. Why, man. we don't have been in this country any more!''
 With a cry of keenest anguish. the old man fell dead at the youths feet, much to his annoyance.

Talladega. Juno 1.-(special.) )-Ernestine Curry. a negro woman, was stabbed to death on the sidewalk in front of the city hall building here by another negro woman. Rosa Hartley. The fatality Is said to have been caused by jealousy. The Hartley woman is confined in the county jail.

Why Grubby Gopher Has No Friends
Iris funny how some folks will do
 A thing that's good, then turn around And spoil it all with something bad.
 Yet folks like this are often found
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

When old Mother Nature explained why she called Grubby Gopher her little plowman because of the way he loosened the earth and mixed it with vegetable matter so that 1t was easy for seeds to sprout and plants to grow, Happy Jack Squirrel ventured to speak.
 Then he must be one of the farm CTS best friends" said he.
 Old Mother Nature shook her head sorrowfully. "He has been in the past" said she, but he isn't now. He has done wonderful work in making the land fit for farming, but now where land is being farmed he is dreaded pest. I am sorry to say it, but it is so. You see, he eats the crops the farmer is trying to raise, and the new mounds he is all the time throw ing up bury a lot of young plants. In the meadows they make it very hard to use a moving machine for cutting hay. Then, too, Grubby gets into young orchards and cuts off the tender roots of young trees. This kills them. He is very fond of tender roots, seeds, stems of grass and grain, and is never happier than when he finds field of potatoes.
 Being such a worker, he has to have great deal to eat. Then, too, he stores much away for winter, for he dcesn't sleep in winter as Johnny Chuck does. He even tunnels about under the snow. Sometimes he fills these little snow tunnels with the earth he brings up from below. When the snow melts it leaves queer look ing little earth ridges to show where the tunnels were.
 "Grubby is very in-dust-rious. He works most of the time. Being un- der ground. it doesn't make much diff ference to him whether 1t be night or day. In summer, during the hottest part of the day, he rests. His eyes are small and weak because he has little use for them. So when he does come out on the surface it usually is in the dark, when the light will not huGt his eyes. He has a funny little taiNDEithout any hair on 1t, and 1t is
 " sensitive. It serves him as a ss t guide when he runs backward along isl tunnels. which he can do quite fast.
 "Grubby is very neat in his habits and keeps himself and his home very clean. During the day he leaves one of his mounds open Tor little while to let in fresh air. Then he closes it again. He doesn't dare leave it open very long for fear Shadow tha Weasel or a certain big Snake called

more Spartan-like simplicity of living

or girl, Is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy In Its

Advise to the farmer.-Mr. Farmer
why don't you hold your cotton for
40c? There is no use in selling it
for CSC when you can hold it and
get 40c. Also hold your seed for
1915. ton. There will not be much
cotton made this year, so if your hold
to what you make you will get your
own price for it. The man that is
going to make the money is the man
that holds his cotton.
