"In front of a fashionably located
dog store window containing u dls- j
play of Chow puppies, i saw two |
Chinamen laughing and. slapping each
other on the hack in their outbursts of
glee. 1 don’t know when I ever saw
Chinamen so emotional. Out of curi
osity 1 sauntered near and tried to
see what had amused them. It wasn't
any cute antics of t lie Chow puppies,
because all were asleep. Finally, I
asked one of tho Chinamen what (hey
were laughing at. Tills brought a
fresh outburst, hut, after gaining con
trol of himself, the one who seemed
to have the best command of English
pointed to a small sign which I had
not previously noticed. It gave the
price of puppies as $30 each. That
price was what made the Chinamen
I'tmgh.
“Dogs like that in China cost IT
cents—maybe ten cents," one of them
explained
“Iinp how about a trained dog?” I
asked. ‘,‘Suppose it was an extra
good dog?”
“Oh, thirly-tl’ ccuts,” declared the

“Then what does a cat cost?’’ I in
quired.

of Big Advertising
Robert Bonner, for whom Bonner
Springs, Kan., is named, New York
publisher, was the first to use full-
page advertising; and the first jour
nalist to pay large sums for feature
articles.
When Edward Everett was raising
funds to purchase Mount Yerntm Bon
ner gave him $10,000 for 52 articles
known ns the Mount Vernon papers,
and a like sum to the fund. IIo also
startled tlie literary world by buying
eight pages of advertising in the New
York Herald. When tlio press room
of the New York Ledger was de
stroyed by fire lie inserted in the daily
papers of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston the following advertisement:
“Unless we are burned out more than
once a week I he New York Ledger will
be ready on l he news stands of the
United States, the Sandwich islands
nil New Jersey.”
His recreation was driving expen

TO PHONE DEAD: BEATS.
Dahlonega telephone rates are
made low with tho understanding
shat the phones in residences are
for the use only of the people liv
ing therein, and others using them
are simply deadbeating tho com
pany for service which belongs to
those who pay. It is just a3 dis
honest as covering childen from
the railroad conductor to save
your fare. If you have to save
the price of a telephone lie honest
enough to carry your messages ro :
mail them at I cent each. Howev-
er you will have to pay for the
stamp. If you are a pauper and 1
will show that you need a phone,
in your business we will contrib-j
nte one to save our regular sub-j
subscribers being bothered. Bor-1
rowing phone service is some
what similar to a borrowed news
paper. 1 loth after being loaned
may need laundry mg. But it j
can’t be done. Pay for your!
talk or walk.

Why She Enjoyed It
“Don't talk to me, my dear,” said
Mr. Sul'iib Ilrmly. “I say it is a very
good tiling for servants to go to the
theater sometimes. It makes them re
turn more happily to their work; it
also teaches them how to conduct
themsel .'cs.”
“Mary,” lie said to the housemaid,
"here is a ticket for the theater to
night. You must go and enjoy your
self.”
“It was lovely,” said Mary next
morning, when they questioned her ou
her evening out.
“Did you really enjoy ft?” In
quired Mr. Subub, smiling triumphant
ly at liis wife.

Bread cf Gatlcvcloh
Boasted by Bismarck
Guetersloii vai.i n town of some
l.'.tlO inhabitants some years ago,
when one day during the maneuvers n
young lieutenant look up bis quarters I
there. This lieulcnaiit came from j
Pomerania, where they also make I
black bread of tine quality, but ho [
liked tim peculiar flavor of the West- :
1,India article. His name was Bis- ,
inarck.
hi (lie year 1870 Bismarck was ,
again traveling through Guetcrsloh, i
lids time as chancellor. King William [
was with him, and when the train |
stopped llie prime minister called out. ,
genially to the crowd Lliat hud come
to meet them:
"Is there anyone who can got us
some pumpernickel witli butter?”
As a number of reporters were pres
ent when this query was made, the
fortune of the Guetcrsloh black iirend
was made and l< speedily became the
fashion all over Germany. The craze
for Westphalian' pumpernickel spread
far and wide, cunningly furl hoped by
the bakers, who now linked for ex
port only small one-pounil loaves, for
the purpose of making it look ‘‘more
like a delicatessen.” ns they say.
The haliers of Guetcrsloh were
worldly wise, for from the same
kneading troughs there go into the
oven first tho huge loaves (certain of
these going to the farmhouses often
weigli lm:.’ a hundredweight) and
1 lien, shaped of what was left, the
tiny loaves that are wrapped in paper
and exported to all parts of the world
to be sold as a delicatessen.
Carillon Flaying at .
Ui Best In Belgium
Belgium is the classic land of bells.
To the Belgians belongs tho Imnor cf
having first felt anil used bell tones
as truly musical sounds, anil, accord
ingly, they devised that colossal mu
sical instrument and tower and belfry
known as the carillon. The carillon
is a set of from 15 to 50 or move bells,
east in sizes that sound each its own-
scale tone. This battery of bells is
played from a keyboard placed in a
room below the open or latticed bel
fry, by a carillOneur, as (lie French
cull him,. Dr. Henry Kamos, president
of lhe Society of American Musicians,
writes, in Child Life Magazine. The
keyboard is not unlike an electric'
switchboard, with its handles replac
ing the keys on an ordinary piano
keyboard, and another set of pedal
keys, like that 011 a pipe organ, to be
played upon by 1 he player’s feet. This
carillon keyboard stands today practi
cally (lie same as it did in the Six
teenth century, when the most famous
of all hell-casting and carillon-playing
families—the Van den Ghoyns of Bel
gium—brought the art of belfry play
ing to its highest point. The Ant
werp cathedral carillon has 05 bells,
St. UomboLd’a singing tower In Ma
lices has 41, Bruges 41, Ghent 39 and
Louvain 40.
High Aspirations
Robert Louis Stevenson, while liv
ing at Skerrymore, had the Idea of
adopting a boy In whom he was in
terested, as his “body servant,” and
giving him such education as he could I
assimilate. Before doing so, relates !
It. L. S.’s great friend, dear little old
Miss Adelaide Boodle, he put it to the
hoy point blank whether any other
• walk ir. life held for him more power
ful attraction. The answer came with
out a moment’s hesitation:
“Plense. sir, I wish 1 could lie Mr.
Townsend’s hoy.”
Mr. Townsend was the local fish
monger.
Arbor Day
Tree-planting festivals ore probably
as old as civilization. Sacred trees
and groves, planted avenues and road
sides, shaded academic walks anil me
morial trees were common long be
fore America was discovered. Arbor
day, ns such, however, is purely Amer
ican in origin and grew out of condi
tions peculiar to the great plains of
tho West, a country practically tree
less over much of its area, hut sup
porting a flourishing agriculture and
with a soil and climate well able to
nourish tree growth. Arbor day orig
inated and was iirst observed in Ne
braska in 1872.
“Bunyip” Frightens Many
That the mysterious “bunyip” Is
again being heard at night in the
Wingecarribee swamp, is declared by
people of the Burrnwnng district of
j Australia. The cry, which is unlike
I that of any domestic animal, is said
to have been heard in tile center of
the swamp. Although tiro “bunyip’’
with its weird noise lias been a trn-
■ ilition of the Wingecarribee swamp
for more than 50 years, there Is no
authentic record of any one having

Pat Out Dictionary
Tlie Lest extended dictionary of the
English language was published in |
1755, representing the monumental la
bor of Samuel Johnson, who died De
comber 12, 1784.
Doctor Johnson's dictionary, which
occupied many years of hie life, was
the most remarkable work of Its kind
ever produced by a single person.
Noah ' Webster’s American dictionary
was llrst published in 1S28, and Wor
cester’s English dictionary appeared
in 1800.
Tho first dictionary compiler was
Pa-Out-She, a scholarly gentleman of
Cathay, who nourished about 1000
B. C. He perfected n standard dic
tionary of the Chinese language, tho
same containing about 40,000 cliarao j
ters.
One Julius Pollux compiled a Greek j
dictionary about A. D. 177, and pro- j
vious to this date (about 100 B. C.) |
one Vnrro made up a Latin one. A |

was compiled about 1500 by Calepini, |
a Venetian friar. Vnuglas edited the

Big Executives Have
Their Qtvn Troubles
Amos R. Bump, assistant general
sales engineer of the Killzem Rat-
Trap Associates, Inc,, was concentrat
ing. Upon Ids nice, clean desk was n 1
nice, clean pad, and upon that pail in I
a nice, clean hand Mr. Bump was writ- ‘
ing. He paused and surveyed what he j
had written. Then he wrote again. I
Miss Wince, ids secretary, padded
Into the room.
“Mr. Scldmmel, of Scliiuimel, Sehlm-
mel, Scldmmel & 'Scldmmel, is here,”
she whispered. "He lias a luncheon
engagement with you.”
Mr. Bump groaned. He hated hav
ing n train of thought derailed.
“One interruption after another,” lie
growled. “IIow is a man to find time
to solve his problems?” And lie
stamped out to greet Mr, Schinmiel.
Upon that desk, on that nice, clean
pail, exposed to the gaze of those who
eared to observe, lay the fruit of Mr.
Bump’s morning endeavor. And this
was the message, reading from left to
right: “Amos R. Bump—A. It. Bump
—A. Remington Bump.”
Siih Industry Old
According &o Chinese records the
filament produced by the stlkwi rm
was first successfully woven by Si-
Ling-Chi, empress of China, in 2700
B. C. It was not until tlie Sixth cen
tury that the art of making silk was
introduced in Europe, in 1009 James
1 brought the silkworm and tho mul
berry tree into England and shortly
after this the Company of Virginia
was formed by a group of Englishmen
to promote the, silk Industry In the
United Stales. The Iirst experiment
met with disaster. Four years later,
influenced by the crown, the colonial
legislature passed an ncjt requiring
ten mulberry trees to be planted on
every hundred acres. There was a
line for neglect of this’ duty and a
premium for every pound of silk pro
duced.
Remembered Famous Jump
Little Kathryn, who was driving
through the country with her uncle,
clamored to bo taken back to the city,
claiming that there was nothing to
see in the country.
“Why,” said her uncle, trying to dis
tract. her attention, “see all the pretty
cows over In the pasture, and they
can’t hurt you because there is a
fence around them."
Kathryn was silent a moment and
then expressed her skepticism. "Iluh,”
she said. “A cow jumped over the
moon once, so I don’t see why it
couldn't jump over 11 fence.”—Chil
dren, the Magazine for Parents.
Waking Dreams
“Asleep” and “awake” are relative
terms. All persons do not sleep with
equal soundness. Frequently one will
dream most when lie Is merely dozing,
lie may then be partly conscious of
wlmt is taking place around him. A
person wide awake does not dream in
tlie strict sense of the word, in “day
dreaming” the term is used in another
sense; namely, a reverie or idle ex
ercise of the fancy.
Alligator Market
Alligators, measuring from two feet
to seven feet are (lie choice ones for
the hide market, an alligator hunter
explained, stating that no matter how
long an alligator is tlie markets pay
only for a seven-foot length. TI10

larger alligators, but the full skin
back and all, is taken from the small
er ones.

"He was looking in the cuckoo clock

A freak golf match was played re-
\cently in Scotland. It was an 18-hole
course and the players agreed to meet
by moonlight. They started at 9:30
p. m., accompanied by spectators. No
one could see tlie ball when it left the
tee, so nil stood in strained silence
trying to hear it drop. Two brave
men, all in white, went ahead lighting
matches to give the players a clew to
the right direction. They escaped
with their lives, although a ball passed
between (lie feet of one of them. The
balls were traced with tho aid of elec
tric flashlights. The match ended at
12:20. Not a single player made a
hole in one, the match going to llie
expert who achieved a hole In 93.
Handy Man
In this changing nge of machinery,
it has been aptly put by a Manhattan
epigrammatist, many hands .do not
make light work light. The weight of
this heavy argument, tie points out,
lies in tlie fact that because of mod
ern facilities there no longer is need
for tlie purposeless handy man about
tlie house or factory With his inconse
quential and makeshift antics. In a
word tlie walls no longer have just
ears but amperes! Electricity is do
ing the work of 350,000,000 men with
out losing ils temper, its force or its
friends.
Pedestrian’s Haven
Bermuda is one of the few places
In the world where the pedestrian is

quire that all vehicles, including bi
cycles, must give right of way to foot

Causes of Eclipses
An eclipse of tlie sun occurs when
the moon, as it moves around U10
earth, happens to get exactly between

moon occurs when tlie earth gets be- |

ow of tlie earth falling on the moon
and cutting off llie sunlight from it.
Therefore it 'Is physically Impossible
for eclipses of the sun and moon to
occur at the same time.—Exchange.
