SHUT OUT WATER AND DUST
ical Closing Of Nostrils Of
Seal and Camel.

Most OF US when we go In for diving
have the very unpleasant experience
of getting our nostrils full of water.
Nature did not design man to be a
diving animal, otherwise she would
have been as clever with his nose as
she has been with seals, London Tit
Bits says.
The seal Is, without doubt, the clev-
crest diver in the animal world. and
his nose Is very ingenious contriv-
ance indeed. Each nostrll is provided
with muscles which close 1t hermetical-
ly at the owners will. And the shape
of the nose is such that when the nos
trils are closed not drop Of water
can enter.
With seals the closing of the nostrils
at the moment of diving has become
an automatic process.
This Is wonderful enough. but We
can zee a still more remarkable appli-
cation Of the same principle In an AMI
NAL as far removed from the seal a.
chalk is from cheese.
The seal Is water animal. The
other owner of trapdoor nostrils II the
camel. an inhabitant Of the driest
parts Of the world, the waterless sandy
deserts. Now. why should the camel
require such an apparatusf He Is not
troubled with water. but he II trou-
bled with dust; not. the dust that We
see in this country. but the fierce
binding duststorms Of the desert.

his shoulder; and doggedly he began
his awful journey, his right arm grasp
Ing the dead man, his helpless left
hugging the tourniquet-stick against
his side.
He stumbled over the rough ground
until he reached the cleared road
through the trees. Here the going was
easier, but the burden numbed his
right hand and shoulder. the throbbing
pain in his left seemed to beat time to
his footsteps, and the ache of the
cramping muscles increased the agony
Of his wound and began to spread
down his body.
A wind sprang up, driving gusts Of
whirling snow into his eyes. A deadly
lethargy was creeping over him, and
presently, turning his head to shield
his eyes from the beating blasts, he
saw a trickle of crimson on the road
behind him.
The tourniquet had loosened. He
was bleeding his life away. The blood
was gushing down his fingers. Will
ton set Joe's body down and succeeded
In tightening the compress. And It
was only after an almost superhuman
struggle that he could get Joe over
his shoulder. He knew that II he was
forced to set the body down again he
could never lift 1t.
With knees bent, tripping over the
roots OF the trees, and reeling
through a swimming world, he stag.
gered on and on and on. And neither
his anger nor the thought OF Kitty
could have kept his resolution through
that nightmare Of pain. 1t was all Joe
now, the. memory Of Joe. his love for
him. and his resolve that his friends
remains should not be torn by the tim
ber-wolves.
Joe had befriended him years BE-
fore, when he had drifted, penniless,
into Winnipeg. Joe's faith had been
his own, and the secret Of the Missatt-
bi theirs.
SO the miles reeled of behind him,
while the wind increased and the snow
fell thicker along the way. At last the
trees opened, and the bleak shore Of
Big Muskeg lay before him, desert
Of ice and snow, with the bluffs oppo-
site, and beyond them the trees once
more.
At once the fierce swirl Of the gale
caught him, whistling like sirens, bor'
ing into his face like white-hot
probes. The ice that fringed his
lashes blinded him and pulled them
from the lids when he tried to open
his eyes. He reeled on, clutching Joe'a
body, and heard his own voice 60
from him In shouts Of despair. They
rolled across the snow, and the echoes
came in faint, mimicking answer from
the distant cliffs.
Wilton retained sufficient conscious
ness Of his surroundings to make his
way along the shore toward the port.

route to McDonald's store little by
risking direct crossing; but the sur

of hope and help. Germany turns
for one motive, France for another
and England for a third. But al
hopes are ultimately one.
Europe is caught in a whirlpool Of
passion and needs an umpire-disin-
terested, powerful, sympathetic
to resolve its discords.
Hence the extraordinary interest
everywhere in the visits of former

had the privilege of dining with each
before their departure. I was much
impressed with the sanity of their
survey of the European situation and
their acute appreciation of the perils
and the necessary remedies.
There is doubt hat the main out
lines for the rescue of Europe are
becoming clearer. The pursuit of
settlement on the basis of repara-
lions, indemnities, economic strangu-
lation and military dominance is flu
tie.
The path leads deeper and deepec
into ruin. The practical dissolution
of the Supreme Council is an admis-
sion of failure along those lines. The
council continues the war spirit. The

Death of Jas. A. Preuett.

The death of Jas. A Preuett took
place at his home near Woodland
Mills Thursday, September z, 1922,
at $3.50 O'Clock pm, after an illness
with which he has suffered for many
months, affecting his eyesight and the
general physical conditions.
Mr.. Preuett was born in Sumner
County, Tenn, August %, 1847. He
came to West Tennessee in 1871 and
was married in Obion County to Miss
Sallie Wilson October %, 1875. There
were ten children of the union, eight
of whom are living as follows:
Walter, Jas. c., Wilson, William, Mrs.
Ollie Finley, Mrs. Ruby Rogers, Miss
Dovie Preuett and Miss Allie Preuett.
Mrs. Finley resides at Tiptonville and
the brothers and sisters in Obion
County. Mr.. Frank Preuett, a broth
er of the deceased, is the last sur
viving member of that family. Mrs.
Preuett, widow of the deceased, the
companion of nearly half a century.
survives with her children in the
home in the vicinity of Woodland
Mills.
Mr.. Preuett was a member of the
Methodist Church, having professed
faith and Joined the church thirty
five years before. He was also
farmer and citizen who took an act
i've interest in his community affairs
the schools, the church, and in the
political and civic movements that
contributed to better local and gem
eral conditions. Mr.. Preuett could
not be reconciled to public and polit-
ical matters that were not entirely
above reproach. He was a Democrat
but one who could not surrender a
principle. He was man of fine per-
sonal character and was esteemed by
hosts of good friends. His life is an
open page and his passing is marked
with tribute to his memory by the
entire community.
Services were held at Salem
conducted by Rev. G. w.
