HIS HONOR WAS VINDICATED Negro Charged With Being a Chicken Thief la Entirely Satisfied With Aeouser's Answer. Sam had been designated by one Luke Chisholm as a chicken thief. Moreover Luke had spoken in public, and Sam professed to find life unen durable until he should find his accus er and compound with him for "a busted haid." Sam's master sought to calm him, but nay. He aimed (he said) to set out as soon as he had "polished off dis yere gyardin patch a mess er greens." Luke could not go so far, but what "he'd git win' er dat wool-growin' cat-fish mouth trash," and "fetch him a blip" for which "there wan't goin' to be no surcease or balm." Sam set off down the road to the bottom. His master waited in soma fear for Sam's welfare, and with a secret surprise at his intrepidity. Presently Sam came over the hill, hat in handa sure sign he was making his best gait. But he was grinning broadly. "Well, Sam," his master asked, "did you meet Luke?" "Yaa, sunyas, sun. I made him take it back. Dat coon was the scairt est buck. Yas, sunsoon's I walk up to him, he reiterated I's a chicken thief. Yas, suh." COLOR BLIND NEVER HAUNTED Professor Explains Phenomenon Normal Eye Creates Effect of Ap paritions In the Dark. Are you afraid of the dark? There isn't a chance of your seeing a ghost if you are color blind, .which may furnish you a ray of comfort for the beauties of landscape and floral deco rations you may have missed during your lifetime. Dr. August Lummer, head of the University of Breslau, in Germany, is authority for this. Dr. Lummer explains the phenom enon in this way: "The normal eye has an arrange ment of tiny rods and cones in the retina. The rods perceive light and the cones dark color. When a per son with a normal eye tries to see in a half dark place the cones, which are useless, interfere with the effec tive action of the rods, and the cost fusion creates the effect of apparitions that come and go and change their shapes. The color blind person lacks the cones and his hoods with extraor dinary efficiency in the dark. The color-blind person sees a clear, per miahent outline of things as long as there is the least amount of light present. That means that he never sees ghosts." Bound to Have His Joke. Jokes about the slowness of trains, ispecially here in the south, said an Atlanta railway man, also tire me a bit by their ancientness but I heard a new and good one not long ago. It seems that trains are always slow and far between on a branch line in Mis isissippl. Nobody knows this. better than the people at theJunction, except the people on the line itself. One day the newsdealer came to me grinning. "A fellow from the other end of the line just said a funny thing," he re marked. "He had missed his train and there wasn't another for two hours. He came to my stall to buy some reading matter to while away the time. He asked for a joke book, and I didn't have any. Then he poked around for a while and said: 'Well, I guess I'll take a time table in stead.' "Judge, Have YOU "the Ad-Read ing Habit"?
