"As the only stranger In tbo party,
they let me go ahead, following the

what a prairie chicken looked like;
whether they would run along the
ground or fly. Suddenly I heard a
tremendous whirr, the sound, aa I
came to know, of the birds taking
wing. So excited waa I that, without
raising the gun to my shoulder, I
pulled the trigger. 'Bang!' went the

MADE EQUALS BY LEARNING
IWIM the Same Education, Men Will
Lose Their Superiority Over
Women.
Rot. Anna Howard Shaw said re
cently In Philadelphia of an oppo
nent of co-education:
" "Perhaps-he objecta because he) 11
aware that equal education does away
with man's superiority. The average
nan, of course, wont be superior to
the average woman when they are
both equally well educated. Hla as
flections wont be accepted then un
qiestlonlngly. "Indeed his assertions already are
beginning to be questioned here and
there. Thus there waa a young chap
wt the seashore last month who on be
dng refused by a beautiful girl said:
"You have broken my heart.'
"But the girl, a medical student,
laid her white hand lightly on his
breast a moment, and then shook
her head nad said:
"No, there lsnt the least eyldenoe
of organic lesion. I notice a alight
palpitation, due, no doubt, to the ex
cessive use of cheap cigarettes, but
otherwise the organ la quite perfect.' "
Horse Pedometers,
The whorls of hair on the coate of
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers, Inasmuch as they regis
ter the locomotive activities of the
animals on whose bodies they are
tound.
The best examples and the greatest
number of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
Jhorse. A notable Instance Is the
graceful feathering that extends along
the hollow of the flank, dividing the
trunk of the animal from the hind
quarters. There are also crests and
whorls on the horse's chest and other
jparts of its body.
A study of the action of the under
lying muscles explains the origin of
these peculiarities In the lay of the
hair and furnishes the justification for
calling them pedometers, although the
analogy is. of course, merely super
ileal.
V Mixed Patriotism.
Up In the Nineteenth assembly dis
trict they are telling this story of a
fallen political Idol. In the rounds of
his social activities he attended an
afternoon entertainment given by the
Outdoor Playground association.
Among the vocal selections rendered
by the children waa "My Country, TIs
of Thee." At the conclusion of that
"hymn the political idol was called
upon tor a few remarks. He address
ed the audience with emotion.
"Children." he said, "It does my
beart.good to hear you. Scarcely ever
hanej heard The Star-Spangled Ban
nfer'.eo beautifully sung." New York
Times.
Fine Horses of Mixed Blood.
Bince the beginning of the seven
teenth century Jerez de la Forontera
has been the most noted horse-breeding
center of Andalusia, for many hun
dreds of years famous for its fine
horses. Jeres de la Forontera waa one
of the first and last Moorish strong
holds in Spain, and the best horses
there were all bred from famous Arab
stallions, so that what Is known as an
Andaluslan, or Spanish, horse has al
ways a good deal of Arab blood; It
has, however, been crossed with so
many other breeds, especially Flemish,
that today the Spanish horse Is not
registered in the books of record of
pure-blood animals.
Expensive Bravery.
The manager of a shooting gallery
patronised by women was glad to get
another pupil, but he could not exactly
aympathlze with her husband's motive
for urging her to acquire crack mark
smanship. "One night when she was staying
alone up In the country a burgler got
Into the house," the husband 'said,
""and ahe had to fire six shots at him
'before ahe touched him, and then she

Instead of the usual struggle to re

now be able to uncover the third fin

This delightful result is to be ob

need do Is to Slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The fin

Into the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appre
ciated not only by the bride, but also
by the nervous bridegroom.
The story of the origin of the wed
ding glove has come to light. Some
time ago a girl who had lost her right
arm In the hunting field asked for a
single wedding glove.
She remarked on the awkwardness
of having to. remove her. glove with
the help of her teeth, and It waa then
seen that matters would be greatly
facilitated for the bride If she only
had to uncover the ring finger.

near one hundred, and to say
all present enjoyed ' themselves

an exceptional reception. The
band never played sweeter, never
felt better, and never was their
music more appreciated. The
guests were met at the door bv
Mrs. Lancaster and soon the
beautiful parlor was full of young
people, and ere long the capacity
of the piaza was taxed to its ut
most. It was a beautiful sight
as the band was arranged near

There is a good deal of work
going on in our town at present
The weeds have been cut in town
and nice sidewalks are being
cleaned of the grass and it adds
much to the appearance of the
town. This brings us to the
township roads. I am glad to
state that the roads are being
worked very satisfactorily. Capt.
J. K. Furmidge leads off on the
old Lumberton road and thence
to the Parkton and Hope Mills
road, preparing the way for the
road machine which Capt W. A.
Chasen has now used from Lum

county line, so the road today
looks like it will not need much
more work soon. Capt. W. L.
Thomas with a force of hands has
nearly completed the McNatt
road and his work is very sub
stantial and satisfactory. So you
see the people cannot complain
any further about the roads in
Parkton township. Come on

spirit and age of progressiveness.

It takes a good judge of values to do that,
but if there is one sure rule in business it
is you pay for all you get You may not be

similar appearance at different prices, but if
you buy from a reputable firm you may be sure
the difference in quality is there.
