OldUDcle Milas Watts, colored, is getting up a big reputation as a fortune-teller. Last week Uncle Milas made two pointed hits He told a minister in North Wilkes- boro where to find a locket which was stolen from his child. The minister got out a search warrant and found the locket at the exact place described by Uncle Milas. A young lady in Wilkesboro lost $9 in cash aud diligently searched for it where she had been. Uncle Milas told her the exact spot to find it in a bureau drawer from which she had taken some clothes and there the money was found. t is really a mystery to explain why he could guess so good. He had never been a' out the house or neighborhood where the young la dy lives. It is up to the scieu- ists. Wilkesboro Chronicle.

On the first day of the joVhe dug and dug, but made small progress. He went back next morning only to find that what he had. done the day before was entirely wiped out by a cave-in. Then a brilliant idea occurred to Pat. Half burying his pick and shovel in the earth leaving only the ends sticking out, he carefully threw his coat and dinner pail over the edge of the cave-in and then hid. In a short time people came along, took in the situation at a glance, Jumped at the conclusion that the laborer had been caught in the fall of the bank and went to work hastily, trying to uncover his body. Half an hour later three sweating and puizled men stood by the nearly completed ditch and won dered where the buried man was. Then Pat came out from his retire ment and said: "Thank ye, gentle men. I knowed you'd bite on that." Ready With the Answer. -Miss Baxter, feeling the effects of a torrid afternoon in Jjine, was attempting to arouse the interest of her languid class by giving, as she supposed, an interesting talk on the obelisk. After speaking for half an hour she found that her ef forts were wasted. Feeling utterly provoked, she cried: "Every word that I have said you have let in at one ear and out of the other. You" pointing to a girl whom she no ticed had been particularly inatten tive throughout the entire lesson 'tell me, what is an obejisk ?" The pupil, grasping the teacher's last words, rose and promptly an swered: "An obelisk is something that goes in one ear and out the other." Success Magazine. r' Fire Caused by Sea Waves. In spite of apparent impossibility a fire was caused by water some few years ago on the western coast of Ireland. The rocks along this coast, which the huge Atlantic rollers have for centuries been slowly breaking down and piercing with great caverns, contain in their depths masses of iron pyrites and alum. At one part of the coast the water penetrated to these, and a rapid oxidization took place, which produced a heat fierce enough to set the whole cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks burned like a regular vol cano, and great clouds of smoke and vapor rose high in the air. When at last the fire died out, great masses of lava and clay burned to brick were found in every direction. The Carnivorous Ants. The subject of vegetarianism had occupied a great deal of attention in the family. One day the five-year-old was out walking with his elder sister, and he meddled some what too freely with the affairs of a large colony of ants. He desert ed them rather suddenly and came back to his sister's side, rubbing his bare legs vigorously. "What's the matter?" asked sis ter. "Oh, nothing, only them ants ain't vegetarians," was the senten tious reply of the youngster. obliged to live on white bread be supported by the use of with cream and sugar and you for nearlv half a centurv. 212 Main - treet.

As a taxglar was trying to break into a house of a citizen of an oriental city the framework ef the second story window to which he ifirung gare way, and he fell and broke his leg. Limping before the tastice the next day, he indignantly demanded that the owner of the house be traniahed. 'Ton shall have justice." said the ; Tdb owner, beinsr summoned. claimed that the accident was due to the poor woodwork and that the carpenter, not he, was to blame. i"That sounds reasonable,' said the judge. "Let the carpenter be called' The carpenter admitted that the window was defective. "But how could I do better " said he. "when the mason work was out of plumb V To be sure, replied the judge. and he sent for the" mason. The mason could not deny that the coninsr was crooked. He ex plained that while ; he was placing it in position his attention was dis- racted from his work by a pretty girl in a blue tunic who passed-on 1 1 1 m it 1 me oxner siae 01 tne street. 'Then you are blameless." said the judge, and the cirl was sent or. "I admit," said she, "that I am pretty, but that's not my fault, and if the blue tunic attracted the ma n's attention the dyer, not I, is responsible." "That's good logic" said the judge. "Let the dyer be called." The dyer came and pleaded guilty. "Take the wretch" said the judge to the thief, ""and hang him from his own doorpost." The people applauded this wise sentence and hurried off to carry it out. Soon they returned and re ported that the dyer was too tall to be hung from his doorpost. "Find a short dyer and hang him instead," said the judge, with a yawn. .Let justice be done at any cost." ; His Deep Concern. The kind old lady noticed a small lad entering a cobbler's with a small package. t. "What have you there, sonny r she asked kindly. "Ma s slipper, replied the lad. You see, there is. a tack out of place in it, and I ..want to have it fixed before ma notices it." "Ah, what a considerate little boy I I suppose you are afraid the tack might hurt your mother's foot?" "Well, it isn't exactly that You see, the tack is sticking out on the sole, and una is tne slipper ma spanks me with." Chicago News. Prepared For tne Worst. Aunt Matilda, who was favored with a visit from her favorite nephew, told the youngster to soak his feet in a tub of salt water if he wanted to toughen them. She knew he loved to go barefoot. He soaked his hands too. Then, after thinking about it for a few moments, he said to himself: It s pretty near time for me to get a licking. Tomorrow I'm going to sit tn it." Ladies' Home Journal.
