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 more conversation?!! one, and his friend nodded agreement. “Then what does a cat cost?’’ I in quired. “Cat, him cost more,” promptly re plied my new acquaintance.

First to See Value 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 sive trotters, owning the best in the land.—Griflith Bonner in the Prism.

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.

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 seen i t. Chinaman First to 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 | polyglot dictionary in eight languages j was compiled about 1500 by Calepini, | a Venetian friar. Vnuglas edited the first French dictionary, Issued by tho French academy in 1094i A Spanish one was Issued in 1726, an Italian in 1729 and a Russian one in 17S9. 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.

II. Jenkins, Dahlonega, (In. 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.

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