PAGE TWO -pPJnd That Chuclcwalla Has Dainty Appetite ! It Is not always the loveliest crea 'tnre that feeds on the daintiest diet. The ehuckwalla lizard of the South west, the second largest lizard in the United States, is not exactly a stage beauty among the animals, yet his choice appetite runs very strongly t« flowers. A specimen captured in th<- Grand canyon had in its stomach 11 s * flower heads of three species of com posite plants, and three flowers of the yellow bean hush. These represented the breakfast of the ehuckwalla. In bis second stomach—the reptile has two —was another mass of flower tis sue, but more advanced in digestion The ehuckwalla has for years been a ■favorite dish among the Indians, and many a lost prospector has overcome the white man’s repugnance to eating “varmints,” to tind with surprise that this big lizard is made of good meat After the recently captured specimen had yielded up its skin for museum purposes, its flesh was roasted and eight persons had a chance to find out what ehuckwalla meat tastes like. Lost Motion Found in Travel on Mississippi It Is hard to realize the possibility of drifting downstream in order to travel upstream, yet at one place in the world it is possible to set off down stream in a canoe and end 45 miles farther upstream without apparently turning hack. This was done by an Indian on a stretch of the Mississippi known as the Grenville bends, consist ing of many loops and curves contin uahy doubling one on another. The Indian started at one of the lower bends and floated downstream until he came to a narrow neck separating him from the next loop upstream. A “car ry” of a few hundred feet brought him to a higher reach of the river The operation was repeated again am) again floating down, carrying over floating down, and carrying over Then by floating downstream tfi miles and carrying his canoe a short distance on foot, he was 45 miles farther upstream than when he started. Muddled Never before hud there been such commotion in the little flat, and the most excited person present was the 'sister of the young mother who had Just presented her husband with twins. Auntie was wildly delighted ai being auntie in a double sense, and rushed to the post office for stamps to spread the great tidings. •'Stamps,” she jerked, as she reached the counter. “How many, miss?” inquired the clerk. “Two,” she said, joyously. “What kind?” “A boy and a girl,” she returned, rapturously. p First Food Preservatives It is claimed that Nicholas Appert. a Frenchman boro in 1750 at Chalons sur-Marne, was the first to preserve food through sterilization by heat. Food had previously been preserved by the use of spices or the salt meth od, but Appert proved to the world the loss of food value by the old meth od and bow the method he proposed not only retained food value, hut also was more attractive and palatable, lie experimented with meat, fish, and all sorts of vegetables and fruits, de lighting in the different combinations and forms in which they could be pre served. Distinctive Watermarks Watermarks in paper have been used for a long time to lend distinction to the product of a particular paper maker and for other purposes. One of the oldest, a circle surmounted by a tall cross, is foi d in documents d • ing back to the Fourteenth century Other old marks are the ileur-de-I.vs the court jester, the hunter--"Vs horn, the hand pointing to a five-pointed star and the tankard, well known in papers of the Sixteenth and Seven teenth centur' 'S. That’s What Counts The tributes paid on the occasion of his birth centenary to the work of Gen. William Booth by leaders of many denominations recalled a story the general himself was rather fond of telling. A high church dignitary was asked one day what he thought of the Salvation Army. “Well, to tell the truth,” said he, “1 do not like It, but to be perfectly candid, I believe God Almighty does.” —Border Cities Star. Choica Peggy was descended from a long line of Methodists. One day she and her father and mother were going through a new Baptist church. When ‘Peggy found the lovely modern bap tistry she ran for her mother. “Come quick, mother,” she said, “they have a lake in this church.” Mother and dad ■’y went to admire the beautiful marble baptistry. “Let’s come to this church,” said Peggy, “then I could learn to swim.” : f Verbatim j It was sales day in a large depart ment store. A very busy wrapper girl *was trying to attend to many things at once, when a clerk rushed over and said: “Call a messenger, sweet heart,” \ Promptly the strange call ran.? out over the main floor: “Messenger, sweetheart.” l— - - - /] “Gratitude To Sargoc Is Beyond Words** MRS.

At Hangi’s birth her mother had died, leaving her all alone in the world, to be cared for by her father and grandmother. Hangi was loved and fondled, as all babies are, until she was six years old. Then her father, whom she loved dearly, fell sick. After three weeks of long suffering, he called his mother to his bedside. “Mother, he said, “I think I am dying, but before I go to rest I want to ask you to care for my little girl. She’s my only child and as she grows older she will need the advice and care of a mother. As my dear wife is gone, won’t you promise to take the responsibility?” The poor woman, not knowing what else to do for her son, prom ised to care for his child, as a mother, as long as possible. He then called Hangi into the room into the room and drew her to him, kissing her tenderly. Then he said, “Hangi, darling, I am going to leave this world, to meet your mother in heav en, and there we will await for you some day. Be good to your grand mother and .” His sentence was broken by a deep sigh and his eyes closed in sleep. The days that followed were in deed sad ones for Hangi. The house was very lonely, without her afther, but the grandmother explained that they would continue to live there together. When Hangi was seven years of age Mrs. Ling thought it proper to begin her educational career, so when school began she placed her in a Chinese institution. Hangi grew up with other Chinese girls, learn ing their ways, habits, and lan guage. But as she grew older she longed for other companions with whom to associate. She felt herself much superior to the modern Chi nese girl. When she was seventeen years old she decided that she could stand it no longer. There came an American mis sionary to that village one bright Sunday morning. Mrs. Ling was very much excited and decided that Hangi must go to hear her. After she had scrubbed her face until it shone, plaited her long black hair, and donned her best dress and shoes she sent her out to church, which was one mile away. As she seated herself in the pew and glanced at the American woman she was simply stunned. She had never seen a lady quite so beautiful. Her brown wavy hair was bobbed, and her face looked as though it pos sessed all love, loyalty, and kind ness. Before Hangi returned home she had met Miss Marie Lamb. “Oh, if I could only be like her,” she thought, “and I shall some day, I hope,” she added. She rushed into the house and told granny of the lady. She rushed into the house and told granny of the lady. “She is going back to America in a week and I am going too. I can’t stay i here.” The grandmother was horrified. Hangi insisted on inviting the wom an to her home on Wednesday. Monday morning the young girl! was very busy. She swept the house and cleansed the yards thoroughly.! Then she prepared a grand feast for the visitor. Mrs. Ling thought Miss Lamb very lovely indeed. “I have been in this work for j four years,” she explained, “I was returning home, but upon request. I agreed to stop here for a week. I I am thinking of retiring, so I will leave next Monday, at 7:30 o’clock,! THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO. N. C. for America. I would like very much to have your granddaughter accom pany me, as she wants to go.” “I would never let her go there. Never! Never!” said the old grand mother. By the following Saturday Marie and Hangi had plotted a scheme. Hangi would leave the house, be j fore her granny was stirring, on > Monday morning. She would meet Miss Lamb at a certain place and they would go together to the pier, where they would sail to America. Early Monday morning Hangi slipped away from the old house and met., her companion a short distance away. The- boat entered the harbor at the exact hour mentioned. Marie and Hangi were so sure of their scheme that they lingered be hind, while other passengers entered the ship. While waiting a man ap proached them. After asking who they were he said, “I am very sorry but Miss Ling will not be allowed to leave on this boat.” Upon hear ing this Hangi burst into tears. “Marie, I guess I was too shre of going but now I must return to this horrible place.” After bidding her an affection goodbye, Marie Lamb left Hangi standing on the pier crying as though her heart would break. At length she dried her eyes and j returned to learn that her grand-1 mother had hired men to watch her \ to keep her from leaving Hong Kong. » | L^JPLAINk —Would you like to have 6 pounds of one of the best B fM M fl known brands of Flour made ABSOLUTELY FREE?

Slie got ideas about American girls from these illustra-j tions. How she longed to be like.i them! Occasionally, in the paper, she would read that Shagi Chung, her former lover, who was, at pres ent, in an American college, which was supnorted by the Chinese funds, had accomplished some great- work. Very frequently his name was found among those in the society column. Shangi had really loved Hangi in his younger days, but when he came to America he became very much attracted by the modern American flapper. So he forgot poor Hangi with her modest ways. He was to finish his college course in a few weeks, and was anxious to return to his parents in China. But he found another one waiting for him. It was Hangi—but a different Hangi —a beautiful Chinese .flapper. Her long black tresses had been cut, her dresses had been shortened, and her ways had changed from that of the Chinese, of course, against her grandmother’s wishes. But soon granny died, of old age I suppose, ani Hangi was left. i Weeks passed and Shangi’s love for her returned, only a deeper | turer love. One night, with her j head nestled in his arms and her l lips offered him, she promised to sail for America, with him, and be i come his devoted wife. i JUST CAN’T WARM UP He married a cold million, hut he. hasn’t been able to thaw any of it out.—The Pathfinder.
