tumorous department. The Revenge of a Tramp.?It was a cold and snowy day, cold as charity? which. It may be mentioned, is going some in the line of real freezing weather. Weary Willie presented himself at the farmhouse door and humbly requested the sharp-faced woman to provide him with enough food to sustain within him the spark of life. He explained that, while this spark was not especially useful at that time, he had ambitions and expected to fan it into a iame of industry which would fully Justify any kindness on her part. Tho farmer's wife was not at all impressed with Willie's plea, and emitted a long, shrill denunciation of any man who was unwilling to hurl himself out of bed at four o'clock in the morning and work feverishly until nine o'clock at night, capping off the day's recreation by finding the cat and giving her a saucer of milk. Finally, however, she indignantly flung Willie ~ <* hunt nf mlnpo nirv Wil 0. JI UII III V U1115 uu??n "w r? -lie failed to catch it and it struck the snow so heavily that it stirred up a cloud of feathery flakes. Willie fished it out and disappeared. The next day he returned and said to the sharp faced woman in a tone of great respect: "Would you be kind enough to give me the recipe for the mince pie I got here yesterday?" "The idea!" said the woman, and launched into a terrific howl against Willie's Impudence. "Well," explained the tramp, "I Just wanted to settle a bet. My partner says you used three cups of Portland cement to one of molasses, but I claim It's only two and a half."?Popular Magazine. Something for Nothing. Upon Sinclair was talking at a dinner in New York about the recent imprisonment of the notorious English promoter, Ernest Hooley. "What's a Hooley " asked, from the end of the table, a ycung westerner who had only caught a word or two of Mr. Sinclair's argument. "I'll show you what a Hooley is," said the novelist; and he continued with a smile: "A Britisher, one Easter, called on a milkman and said: "' How would you like to celebrate the day with an egg-nog?' "'Bully! Going to treat?' " 'Well, I'll supply the eggs and liquor, If you'll supply the nogg?the milk, I mean, along with the sugar and spices.' " 'Agreed,' was the reply. "Then the Britisher called on a dairyman. "How would you like to celebrate with an egg-nogg?' " 'Bully! said the dairyman. " 'Will you supply the eggs if I supply the liquor, milk, sugar and spices?' "Sure,* "Next the Britisher called on a II quor dealer. " 'Will you Join In an egg-nogg If I supply everything but the liquor?'. " 'Why, yes. of course?gladly," the liquor dealer said. "And so, that evening, these four men gathered about a superb eggnogg. As they drank It, they told what part of it each had supplied. Thus the milkman had supplied the milk, the dairyman the eggs, the saloon man the stiffening. " 'But you,' they asked, turning to the fourth celebrant, 'where do you come in?' "'Where do I come In?' ihe Britisher answered indignantly. 'Where do I come in? Why I'm the Hooley!" A Double-Barrelled Escape.?Miners are among the most heroic people In the world. Danger is always beside them, and they are schooled to believe that at any time they will come face to face with death. The result of this is that they are humorous In their boldness. In one of the mines of Pennsylvania there was a cave-in which imprisoned a miner ngmed Jack Thornton. The accident happened on Friday afternoon and the fellow laborers of the entombed man set to work at once to dig him out. It was not until Sunday morning, however, that they reached his prison chamber, and by this time they. # were wondering whether he had been suffocated or starved to death. One of them stuck his head through the aperture made by the picks of the rescuers and called out: "Jack, are you all right?" "All right." came the reply, and then after a pause, "What day is this?" "Sunday," answered the friend. "Gee!" exclaimed Jack. "I'm glad of that. That was one Saturday night when those saloon keepers didn't, get my wages!"?Popular Magazine. Why It Was Not Libelous.?"I would like to know, senator, whether this is a libelous article " one of the Washington correspondents asked Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. "What did you say about the man.?" asked the Mississippi solon, running his eye down the page of manuscript devoted to the shortcomings of a brother senator who had gained for himself a rather generous share of unpopularity. "Why, I guess the worst thing I said about him was that he is a cross between a buzzard and a hyena," replied the newspaper man. "Libelous? No, I should say not," exclaimed Williams. "There ain't no such animal." According to His Kind.?A copper was the complaining witness in a case in which he had made the arrest. The prisoner had riviled him, it appeared. 1 "Your Honor," began the policeman, "how would ye like to be called an Irish goat?" ' The magistrate smiled a little and observed that the case could hardly be settled on such procedure. "Besides," ' he added, "I am not Irish. "Suuuose he called ve a German goat?" "The same objection lies. I am not Clerman." "Well, then, suppose he called ye the goat that ye are?"?Chicago Post. A Useful Invention.?A Yorkshire farmer was paid by check for some cattle he had sold. It was the first time that it had ever happened. "What's this?" he said. "Why, money for the beasts," said the cattle dealer. The farmer stared, and had to be assured that if he took it to the bank < they would give him gold for it. "Well," said he. "Aw'll try, but if It's a wrong 'un thou'll hear about it." The check was cashed, of course, and the farmer went home happy, but he could not sleep. He had seen a wonderful thing, and it had excited him. As soon as day broke he made i for the cattle dealer's house, and woke the dealer. "It's me." he said. "Where's tha , got thim bits of paper from? Aw cud do wl' half a dozen myself!"?Youth's Companion. ijftijwllaurous grading. COTTONTOT'S LAMENT. Present Wisdom the Child of Past Errors. Following Is a part of the address of welcome that Hon. John L. McLaurln delivered at the opening meeting of the State Farmer's Institute, which commenced a three days meeting at Bennettsville this morning: Old maids grow tougher, Old bachelors grow rougher. Because, the hook-worms grow longer, And the bill bugs grow stronger. In Marlboro. Hobble skirts grow tighter. Peroxide hairs grow lighter, Grandma is In a trance, Because girls wear pants. No hoops or crinoline, All hobbles and gasoline, In Marlboro. The cattle ticks are few, The cotton is all blue. The reason rich we feel, Is because all ride in automobile. We are the proudest, Because bed-bugs smell loudest, In Marlboro. Because the cows cotton lice do eat. Hook-worms devour the only homemade meat; The cattle tick on dog meat fed; No wonder. It Is said, There's pellagra in all the corn bread. In Marlboro. Tick with louse has row, " Because he can't find a fat cow. Pellagra Is badly "skeered," Because the hook-worm "heerd," There's a new motion born, To quit eating western corn, In Marlboro. The flies are tamer, The mosquitoes are gamer. Because, when the devils are cast out. They cannot go tie hog route; Because cotton's c'estroyed every snout; There's nothing but "white side" about, In Marlboro. We farm by this good rule, , Easy followed by any "fule." Because, "a nigger an-a mule," With "8-four-four-" And more-more-more, Makes cotton grow, grow, grow, In Marlboro. My credit is badly hurt, Because, with a ton to each acre of dirt. It is so very risky. I kill bugs with whisky, Burn lice with soda; Hook-worms feed on "nigger" odor, In Marlboro. With elbows crook "here's how,"* In can I buy my cow, Because milk is a notion, butter all goshen; Corn In Chicago, hogs in Ohio; For hay "on the Wabash;" I spend all my cash, In Marlboro. It makes the Yankee smile, Because Pee Dee bottoms are rich as Nile; The climate is so mild, That oats grow wild; Acorns and cane; bermuda all over, Haws, huckleberry and clover. In Marlboro. If we had "horse" sense, "We'd buy wire fence, Hogs and cows to keep. Because with big flock of sheep, We'd raise less hell and cotton. And more beef and mutton, . In Marlboro. Our fathers found It true, But we never knew, A fertilizer factory's near, In each old cow and big fat steer, Because, we depend you see On the great Y. C. In Marlboro. The shirt of the Sultan of Sulu, The clout of the King of Zulu, The lingerie from gay Paree, The clothes of the heathen Chinee, All come through me, In Marlboro. V* Arnniifl'o rlolnKr Kol 1 p And London's howling swell, It's silk they think; But I know well. Because Dave Coker grew the seed, And Bob or Wallace, the Webber weed, In Marlboro. Here is how It goes. The Goddess of Liberty In cotton clothes; In the sweet lure of her smile, I forget woman's guile. In Delilah's arms, soft and round, With rope of cotton, Samson's safely bound. In Marlboro. What does he care if his eyes are out. So long as Delilah leads him about; But if ever she whispers in his ear, "Pull It down, Samson dear," Blind eyes, see red, with toss of his head, A laugh and a sigh, without a look at the sky; Because why, he hardly knows, . But down the temple goes, In Marlboro. It is clearly writ that Joseph's coat, Was not from skin of goat. It was of many hues. Because made from Marlboro blues. Joseph to Pharaoh was sent, Because that coat to a lady he lent, In Marlboro. Sheba's Queen, cotton stockings wore. When she went to see Solomon in days of yore. Solomon was awfully wise; Because though he had 700 wives, From stockings he never took his eyes. In Marlboro. The lice that my cotton hurt, Do not live under the dirt. In automobiles they ride around. But never a bale of middling is found. With lordly mien they do declare, "There's no such thing as middling fair," In Marlboro. The tick that "gets my goat," Is the old rusty shoat. Parasite of the body politic. Eradicate the sort of cattle tick. That by lending money Extracts all the honey. In Marlboro. With his fiercest bark. The darn'd old shark, "Kicks my houn dog aroun," Knocks my cotton down; Because, every bale I can make, He doth surely take. In Marlboro. The hook-worms that do harm Are not bred on the farm, But in the court-house shadow. Like the poisonous adder, They sit in the shade. While cotton is made. In Marlboro. "Thou shalt steal no more." And Teddy waved his sombero. How'er that may be, It does seem strange to me, Eiecause, I who tend the dirt. Must wear last year's shirt. While King George blows his nose. And the Czar covers his toes, With cotton that grows, everybody knows. In Marlboro. Like young eagle seeking change. Or lion's cub wider range, I scaled the loftiest peak. Only to find it cold and bleak. Fifty years of storm and strife. And I sigh for the farmer's life. In Marlboro. The setting sun, a burning ember. The lonely pine tips in splendor; Standing strong against the sky, Its shadow on deep waters lie; In the south wind's moan Fallen angels groan. In Marlboro. On the waters "a kindly light," Only shadows speak of coming night; As feathers dropped, tell of eagle flight. With the traces ringing, the plowman singing, Across the pond a holy glow, Because from God all blessings flow. In Marlboro. They come, a laughing band Women and children, Jioe in hand; Each row is swept clean; Not a sprig of grass is seen, As with tired sigh. My crop is "laid by," In Marlboro. As for the harvest I wait, In the shadow of Heaven's gate, On the tropics green, Field of snow is seen; Beautiful as in Eden grew, Flowers of every hue. As they bring the cotton in, I hear the music of Heaven's gin. In Marlboro. In Abraham's bosom at last As I sit thinking of the past, Way down in the depths of hell, "Water, water," I hear them yell, "This is no place for cotton clothes," So I turn on the garden hose, In Marlboro. The mill merger Is seen, Hiding behind asbestos screen; Because, the dividends they paid, Were by child labor made. "Little children," you see. He said, "Come unto me," In Marlboro. Not a bull is there, But in the hot air, I smell the singed hair t ?r every couon near. With blue ribbon on horn, The bull eats Heaven's corn. In Marlboro. The Cotton Buyer, gallant raider, He has lived an undergrader; Up to 'he gate he goes, Dressed in his fireman's clothes; But St. Peter Is very sore, And shows him the furnace door. In Marlboro. The political worm, Takes his turn. I give it straight; They said at the gate, "Go to hell,' "You hit John L.," "We'll roast you well," In Marlboro. Dear friends, as together we meet. And crowd around the mercy seat, In wonder we stand, And view Heaven's land; Because, the Jordan is the Great Pee Dee; And Heaven is, and shall ever be In Marlboro. The Sex In 1346. "About twenty-five years after Crecy (1346)," records a writer In Harper's Magazine, "when the age of chivalry was beginning to decline, a French gentleman, the knight of La Tour Landry, being oppressed with the care of three daughters, bethought himself of writing a book for their instruction In the conduct of life; and his book, which was translated by Caxton and much read, gives us great Insight into the social conditions of that romantic age. "The virtues most popular in the middle ages were the Scriptural vlr- | tues. "The knight begins his book by telling his daughters a story of how his own father had wished him to marry ja certain lady, whose appearance and manners had pleased him well, until | at the end of their first interview she begged him to come often, whereat the knight was greatly shocked, seeing her so pert. 'It caused me,' said he, i 'to be discouraged from her, for the which I have thanked God since many times.' "He then instances ladies who through hot and hasty language 'lost their marriage'?and no more dreadful thing apparently could happen to a lady in the Middle Agesi "Women," he says, "are always too readv to talk, whereas they should re nit* puvturn aic vnj niuun n v?.. ?v controlled by repeated cutting. In the ( clover fields the Infested patches should at once.be cut and the material removed and destroyed. If the fields are badly infested, cut tbe crop early for hay. and then plow* the land. Up to Father.?Inspector James I>. Hughes of the* Toronto Hoard of Education was illustrating the differences J in child minds, at a lecture before the City Club of Chicago. "I have a little girl whose tastes are strongly mathematical, while her brother has no gift for numbers, but still manages to think quite clearly. "My daughter was speculating on the degrees of relationship of her two half sisters. Jane and Helen, and on other possible combinations in fractional sisterhood and brotherhood. " 'Papa.' she asked, 'if mother were to die and you were to marry again and have some more children, what kin would they be to Jane and Helen? Would they be half sisters too?' "I had not replied when my small I son volunteered an answer after his J own kind. '"I think,' he said, "if anybody's going to die, it's papa's turn this time.' "?Everybody's Magazine. has proved a great convenieiK users of the 2VcwBgr/?dio Oil Cook-stov* 'i Thia vear we are sellins fer people who ask them questions to their lords. Eve should have said, 'Ask my husband that question, not 1 me'?and all would have been well. The primary virtues appear to have been, after silence, meekness and submission to your husband." Strangely Tongue Tied. The police of a western city tell a singular story of the capture of a burglar there. During severely cold weather the burglar went out alone one night to make a raid on a small bank. His plan was to enter through a window at the rear of the building and to make his way through the offices to the vault. An iron grating ' proieiieu uiu wmuvn. The night was Intensely cold and i the streets were like glass, a heavy snow having melted as it felt and then frozen smooth and hard. While the burglar was filing the first bar of the grating his foot slipped, throwing him forward violently against the window. As luck would have it, the fall Jerked his mouth 'open, his tongue was forced between his lips, and froze instantly to the icy iron bars. All efforts to release himself were vain, as nothing short of pulling his tongue out by the roots would have effected this, and he could not bring himself j to that. A watchman making his j round found him a half hour later J almost dead with cold. The burglar is alive and safely j housed in jail, but his tongue was f never used again, being completely ? and hopelessly paralyzed. f ' ? ? l Dodder a Serious Pest.?This is an " annual, with slender yellowish and reddish stems, which become attached to the clover by suckers, through which the parasite obtains nourishment. The flowers are whitish or pinkish, and appear in clusters around the threadlike twining stems. The seed is very small, is yellowish or.brown in color, irregularly spherical, somewhat angular and is granularly roughened. ' It flowers from July to November, and ripens seed by September. It is propagated by seed alone and occurs very abundantly in Imported alfalfa and ( clover seed.

Every man knows what Is behind him, but there is not one on earth today that knows what is ahead of him except death, and none know the day it will come, unless they have been tried and sentenced to death In Virginia or Massachusetts, in Canada, or some one of the European countries where law is supreme. While it is a fact that the only reliable guide we have as to the future Is the past, this guide is not infallible in every respect. For Instance, an individual may have passed through many years of successful business experience and accumulated quite a handsome estate and-almost without warning meet with reverses that practically wipe out all material gains. Can you recall Instances of this kind? If you carry life Insurance In any one of the old established companies and never have occasion to ask any concessions and go on paying your premiums for a specified number of years, provided you have a limited payment policy or until death, If you have an ordinary life, the company will do exactly what it promises In your contract. All companies are "About the same." in this respect. On the other hand If you stumble or fall down no company in the world guarantees in its policies to treat you so liberally as does the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., and besides it is the only company which applies Every Improvement made In Its new contracts to all the old ones. A policy written in 1847 carries every privilege written in one issued in 1912. I have never met, or heard of a dissatisfied Mutual Benefit policy holder. SAM M.
