THE KICKER.' ~~R An Entirely Different Sort of Man From the Growler. There Is a world of difference be tween the man who kicks and the man who growls. The man who kicks—who truly, ear nestly and honestly kicks—ls a good kind of man to have about He kicks because things are not as they should bft and he proposes to correct them. The man who growls Is merely a nega tive quality. He may know that thing, are not going right, but he hasn't any Idea of trying to do anything about It He Just sits round and com plains. You remember Mark Twain's story about the kicker and how successful he was in securing everything that be longed to him. He was a producer In the best sense of the word, Just as every man who kicks in the right wsy Is certain to be. You probably know Just such men—men who are chronic kickers. Let anything go wrong and they go "up In the air" In a minute, but you can depend upon It that that particular thing will never go wrong again If they can prevent It A kicker may not be the most agree able person to have around, yet he Is a healthful factor In almost any estab lishment. He has his faults, but It Is possible to overlook them for the sake of the productive value that he represents. As to the growler—there seems to be no place for him In the work of the world He may complain loudly and whine and talk about other peo ple, but he remedies no faults, he re pairs no leaks—he Just makes trouble. That Is the dlffrence between the kicker and the growler.—Business. WEB 0F THE SPIDER. Thousands of Btrands In Efch of Its Bilky Threads. For a long time the web of the spi der was supposed to be a simple strand of wavy silk, but later tt was found that such wps far from being the case. Under, the microscope we can get at the secret of the spinning very nicely. We see that there are either four or six teats on the spider near the lower part of the abdomen, almost exactly similar to' the teats of a cow. From these Issue four or six strands, as til* case may be. But these strands them selves are not simple, but are com posed of at least a thousand fibers each) for It has been proved that In each teat there Is a sieve of at least a thousand holes, through which the silky matter is strained. Thus we see that, fine as Is a spider's web. It Is yet -m 3L. J "" Leuwenhoeck states that ft woura take" at least 4,000,000 of the completed threads to make a thread as strong as a silk thread of the alxe of a hair.

LEGEND OF THE PEUCAN. Bern of the Peculiar Way the Bird Feeds Ite Young. Perhaps the strangest of all leg ends pertaining to birds is that of the pelican, said to have been the third bird to emerge from Noah's ark. It still thrives as ancient a type among birds as the badger ia among quadrupeds. The legend of the pelican is, "The pelican torneth her beak against her breast and therewith pierceth it till the blood guaheth out, wherewith she nour iflheth her young." On examination the tradition ex plains itself. The distinctive fea ture of the pelican ia its enor mous bill, with the commensurate pouch depending from the lower mandible. 8o great is the capacity of this pouch and so considerable ita strength that the natives of many countries to this day convert it into a very serviceable bag. The npper mandible terminates in a hook which curves over the lip of the lower and is of a reddish color. The tint of the feathers is, in ths words of the poet, "pearly white, but ruby tinctured." It may be assumed, the above facts being premised, that the two or three eggs laid by the mother bird have been hatched. 3%en the parents begin to realise that the cares of paternity are heavy indeed. The amount of food consumed by the young pelicans if prodigious. Ai pelicans derive the whole of their sustenance from the water and feed almost exclusively on fish, the u»e of their formidable fishing im plements is apparent. Whether they are wading or swimming, they dredge and scoop ent their prey into the pouch, where it passes through some amount of macera tion before being given to ths yonng. At this point enters that curious act to which the observers of so many ages have given an incorrect interpretation. In order to eiect the contents of the pouch the bird presses its bill strongly and with a kind of spas modic action against ita breast, and the pinkish hue of ita feathers, the red tipped bill and often enough the blood of its captured victims combine to produce the effect that gave birth to the legend. '• """i* tradition seems to " lonnd credence throughout Chris tendom, and the proverbial "peli can in her piety" took root both aa a symbol and a phrase. By de crees the figure of the pelican feed ing her young developed into a com mon emblem of charity, the use of which prevailed in southern Europe. The figure is sometimes found carved in wood or stone work of an cient English churches and is still used as a symbolic emblem of char ity. The pelican is often used, too, as an ornament of the lectern in Episcopal churches.—New York Press. "" Temple Garden Rosee. Perhaps the two most famons flowers in history are associated with the Temple gardens, for, ac cording to tradition, it was in these gardens in 1430 that the two lead ers plucked the red and white rosea which became the badges of the rival houses of Lancaster and York. The gardens were for centuries fa mous for their roses. Among their floral curiosities one finds in the accounts for 1700 an expenditure on two perimic box trees and won ders what a perimic tree is until one remembers the custom of trim ming box trees in a symmetrical or "perimetric" fashion. —London Chronicle.

"I "l " GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9,1911. FUET DUSKY PETE. The Nag Reaponilble For th« Kx preaaion a "Dark Herae." Here it the real story of the "dark horselt came down to the son of a man, who had it from his father, who in tnra got it from his father, and so on luck to a time when there lived in Tennessee 'a shrewd old chap named Sam Flynn. He was by way of being abont the cunningcst horse trader in his state and generally contrived to have in his stable a nag or two that could go along some. These he used for racing purposes, particularly when he chanced upon a town where there was sporting blood in the course of his travels. Flynn finally picked up in a swap a black horse which he called Dusky Pete. The horse was close to a thoroughbred, and the shrewd horse trader was not long in making the discovery that he was something of a marvel in speed. But this fact he cunningly kept to himself. He roughed up the horse's coat and made him look as little as possible like the real wonder that he was in a race. Once he had got Dusky Pete to a point where he looked the part of a horse vagabond, Flynn quietly rode him into a town one fine dav, where a rustic race meet was m progress. Dusky Pete merely look ed like a "likely LOBS" for swapping purposes. Pretending to be inno cent of everything connected with racing, Flynn entered his horse in one of the events. The village sports took his bait to a man. They backed two or three of the local fliers against Dusky Pete for every dollar they could beg and borrow. The old horse trader moved around in the crowd and took ev ery bet that was offered, most of them being at big odds against his horse. Just as the horses were be ing saddled for the race old Judge McMinamee, the turf oracle of that part of Tennessee, turned up at the track and was immediately impress ed into service as one of the racing judges. N As he took his place in the judges' stand he was told how the betting odds had been going and of the presence of the old horse trader who was so foolish as to think his nag could beat the local cracks. The |r- 4 '■' —isd thatFlynn Bad taken all bets offered against his horse. At that Judge McMinamee ran his eye over Dusky Pete and in stantly recognized the veteran racer under his ruffled coat of long hair as an old campaigner. "Gentlemen," quoth the wise judge, "there's a dark horse in this race that will make some of you look sick before supper." He was right. The dark horse lay back till the three-quarter pole had been reached 'and then went to the front with a rush, taking the race with ridiculous ease and clean ing out the pockets of all the vil lage sports. And from this humble origin comes so great an institution of modern times as the dark horse.- New York Times. England and Lotterlea. The London Chronicle calls Eng land "a nation of gamblers." It points out that "Westminster bridge was built on the proceeds of a lot tery. But so solemn an institution as the British museum was founded upon a basis of gambling in 1753. A sum of £300,000 was raised by a lottery authorized by a special act of parliament. The money was spent principally in buying the mu seum and collection of Sir Hans Soane, the Harleian collection of manuscript and Montague House, Bloomsbury, then the mansion of the Earl of Halifax. And the gam ble bought a house big enough to contain the British museum for many years." Amaranth. Amaranth is a name frequently used in poetry for certain plants and flowers which on account of their lateness in fading are taken as the emblems of immortality. The famous flowers are still to be found and are known in our gar dens as lovelies bleeding, prince's feather, coxpomb and globs ama ranth. Instead of using holly and ivy, as we do, the people of south ern Europe decorate their churches with these flowers, which are said to retain their color for many months.—Exchange. Patent Leather Shoee. Before putting on patent leather •hoes always rub the surface of the vamp briskly with the warm palm of the hand, thus softening the shoe ami rendering it less liable to crack. 'Many patent leather boots crackle aD over the first time they are worn when this precaution might prevent the accident.

A report on an exploration in the southern Appalachians, by L. C. Glenn, professor of geology in Vanderbilt University, just pub lish by the United States Geo logical Survey, is a timely contri bution to a subject now engaging wide public attention. It places in the hands of those interested in the best utilization of the great Appalachian watershed the most authentic and de ailed informa tion yet pn sen ted on the subject, representing as it does the result* of expert field investigation. A Story ofßnlned Lands. The purpose of Prof. Glenn's study was to note the extent and the effects, and so far as possible the causes, of erosion in the re gion examined and to determine the means of preventing the wide spread evil results of unwise agri culture and lumbering. Accord ingly, he traveled from stream valley to st ream valley tbroagh the southern mountains, noting and recording with great exactness hillside and mountain side wash and wear, soil removal by gullying and soil burial by overwash stream clogging and stream overflow, the filling of mtll ponds and the wreck ing of dams and bridges, and nu merous other evils that are attrib uted by many observers, in large part, to reckless deforestation and injudicious attempts to cultivate slopes that are not adapted to agriculture. iQveatlgatlon* Made In Bight Statea. Prof, Glenn's studies included parteof 8 States—-Pennsylvania Virginia, West Virginia, Norlh Carolina, South Caroling, Georgia Tennessee, and Alabama. In the .Qotod-- that steep slopes formed of cer tain rocks could be safely culti vated, but that others, no steeper, composed of other, different rocks were cultivated with disastrous results. Observations were made of countless gaping chasms start ed in steep hillsidea by the drag logs "snaked" down from timber ed hilltops—chasms that cave and throw down timber and cause the wash of masses of gravel and cob blestones over fertile valley lands below. Bars and shallows formed in navigable streams by sand and gravel loosened far upstream by agricultural and forttry malprac tice were noted at hundreds of places and are specifically men tioned in the report. Agrlcnltare and Poraatry Involved. According to Prof. Glenn the problems thus studied geologically must find their solution in methods that relate largely to forestry and to agriculture. The agricultural problem involves the selection of the areas best suited for agricul ture because of fertility and character of soil and moderate slope of surface and the study of the ways in which such areas may best be handled to prevent their own destruction through erosion, as well as the destruction of other lands and property by the wast material they deposit and the floods they help to generate. Much of the area is not properly agricultural land and should not be cleared and forced into agri cultural use, because that forcing means quick destruction both of are* itself and of the low-lying areas on the same streamways. Such mikuse means also slower but none the less sure interference 1 with navigation on the more f remote parts of major stream sys tems. ' The forester would protect steep r slopes by keeping then clothed j with timber, coax backtree growth i on dennded areas, keep down for » est fires, protect and perpetuate *■ the supply of hard wood, protect 8 the game and fish, and enhance t the beauty and charm of the re s gion as a health and pleasure re >, »ort, as well ss prevent the navi- I gable streams that flow from these II mountains from filling up with the sand and silt whose removal is now costing annually large 1 sums of money.

Charlotte Observer. } A correspondent of The Manu , facturers' . Record, writing from i Asheville, calls attention to the - remarkable growth of interest in . lumbering in that vicinity. The • establishment of a liber company \ at Canton about two years ago marked the virtual beginning of i the movement and the papers have b earned information of other en ; terprlses from time to time. The - new enterprises have been grad ual in their coming and conne i quently it is difficult to realize the present extent of the industry— to catch a bird's-eye view of tho ( situation, so to speak—unless the various figures are set down side | by side and added. After such a comprehensive glance, The Re corder's correspondent declares that within a year or two Ashs ville will be the center of as vigor ous and flourishing a lumber in dustry as is to be found in the country. As to the Bource of sup ply he says that "the Appalachian mountain range is still an almost unbroked hardwood forest and its mountain crests contain great supplies of spruce." The inauguration of a great lumbering industry in western North Carolina will mean much In the direction of development. New lines of railroad will be laid to get the timber to market and will serve to furnish means of com munication whioh „ is sorely needed. The lumbermen will inevitably be attracted in large numbers and their wages will in some measure increase the gener al prosperity. These benefits are offset only by a danger which is impending. There is lumbering and lumbering. Tho cutter of limber j in the section ;lt is too much to expect from human nature to sup pose that he will sacrifice imme diate profit for the sake of a fu ture in which he does not expect to share. Consequently, a large part of the lumbering carried on in the Vnited States has been marked by disastrous slaughter of growths which should not have been touched until older. It is perfectly feasible for the citizens of western North Carolina to welcome the newcomers with the hearty cordiality their coming de serves and at the same time to impress upon them that their op erations must be carried on not entirely as if the deluge was to follow the completion of their work. It is of the highest impor tance that some such impression be made. UA Saved At Death'a Door. "I never feltso near my grave," writes W. R.

Representative Ewart, who by the way, appears to have contract ed the habit of continuously in troducing bills, has just proposed as measure wnich may result in his political incineration. He pro poses to place a tax on "dogs, jus tices of the peace and bachelors." | This is the first shaft aimed at the dog. As a matter of fact he is getting to be more in disgrace ! daily, and it is most probable that his liberties will be greatly ' curtailed by lawmakers. Justices of peace a hard worked set whose labors are rarely ever appreciated have thus far escaped the daggers of the lawmakes. 1 And as for the bachelors —since time immemorial a lot of the wo ' men and the men have attempted to further burden down their souls —administer the third de gree, as it were. Instead of being taxed the bachelor stands out alone as in first need of pension. Mr. Ewart's inhumanity is only surpassed by his utter recklessness in classing the last two mentioned species along with the first. . A bachelor may lead a dog's life, metaphorically speaking, and at times the justice of the peace may consider his lot nothing short of beastly, but to put the two on a parity with the first mentioned is a punishment not deserved by them, as it is a recognition the dog has never merited.
