To Save Meteorites.
The South African Journal of Sci
ence records the steps that have been
thus far taken at the suggestion of the
South African Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, to obtain legis
lation in various countries relative to
the preservation of meteorites in the
interests of science. The committee of
sections A and C of the British asso
ciation adopted the following resolu
tion at the Australia meeting: “That
in view of the fact that meteorites
which convey information of world
wide importance are sometimes dis
posed of privately in such a way as
to deprive the public of this informa
tion, the council be requested to take
such steps as may initiate interna
tional legislation to the matter.”
The Reason.
“Look here, waiter,” protested the
man who was about to pay his bill.
“You’ve charged me 20 cents for rice
pudding. The price was 15 cents the
last time I ordered it.”
“Yes, sir,” replied the waiter. “Rice
has gone up, sir.”
“On account of the war, I suppose,”
said the guest, sarcastically.
“No, sir; on account of the June
weddings, sir.”

“Songs of the sea are always pop

VICTOR REDCUFFE
(Copyright, ’9IC, by W. G. Chapman.)
“I say, neighbor," hailed old Jared
Eingham, bringing his horse to its
haunches with a resounding “whoa!"
“ ’pears to me you’re swinging some
style, aren't you?”
“Oh, that!’’ retorted Bingham, with
a careless nod of his head toward the
hitching post. “It’s not my doings.
Huldah and a protege of hers, as she
calls him. All the same, we needed
the post. Old one was of soft maple
and the hosses had nibbled it away
until there was nothing but a stump
left. They won’t nibble that iron
post, I’m thinking.”
With quite a spice of pride old Jared
viewed the improvement in question.
It was simply a piece of hollow iron
pipe three inches through. A hole
had been bored near its top and
through this a steel ring had been
driven.
“Durable and convenient,” com
mented the neighbor; “but you’ll be
getting an awning next!”
The new hitching post had been a
donation, or rather the humble offer
ing of a grateful recipient of the soul
ful charity of the old man's daughter,
Huldah Bingham.
A traveling tinker had met with r
mishap with his trundling cart in the
road near the Bingham place. He
had sprained an ankle and could not
proceed on foot. Gentle, pitying Hul
dah had ministered to him, and fur
nished liniment, and when her father
camo home he found the tinker en
sconced in the old rocker in the
kitchen.
“Dunno about taking in free board
ers, Huldah!” he had observed) but
she had her way. For a week the suf
ferer was comfortably housed in an
attic room, nursed and fed, and finally
was able to get around again.
He showed his fervent gratitude in
a score of ways. He mended up ev-

ery leaking tin and pot in the cup
board. He fitted new keys to the
doors. He set a new latch on the
gate. He ground the tools, he riveted
some broken links in the well chain.
Then he set the new hitching post as
a final token of his appreciation of
the kindness of his good friends.
That was not all of it. For a long
time Seth Greene, working on a farm
two mile 3 away, had been dropping in
on the Bingham folks once or twice
a week. Huldah liked him. Her fa
ther was taken with his steady, manly
ways. The kindness of Huldah. to the
poor tinker was the final evidence of
a good heart to the already smitten
Seth. He proposed and was accepted.
“Although there will have to be
a waiting spell, young folks,’’ Jared
had announced. “You see, I had to
mortgage the old place here when 1
settled up brother William’s claim.
Soon as I can pay off that two thou
sand dollars and clear the farm, I’ll
feel I’ve got a start in the world for
all hands round.”
A year went by, a golden, happy
year for Huldah and Seth. Then the
old man called it a waste of time and
money to have Seth working for some
one else at small wages, when his serv
ices would count with all working to
gether on the old homestead.
“You can have the wedding soon
as you like, Huldah,” he said animat
edly one day. “I'm within a few dol
lars of the mortgage money, and that
means independence, hey?”
“But Seth has no idea of living on
you, father?”
“Who wants him to? Here's my
plan: The farm goes to you, clear.
It’s agreed that I have ? home for life.
Seth can be boss and manager. All
in the family, isn’t it, and the whole
problem settled, long as we live.”
“You good, dear soul!” enthused
Huldah. “It shall be the object of bur
lives to make you happy."
It was with supreme felicity that
Huldah and Seth settled down to a
peaceful, happy married life. The sec
ond week after the wedding Mr. Bing
ham started for town to draw the
$2,000 that was to pay off the mort
gage. He had enough saved up now
to liquidate the same. He had notified
tttt- nnrGTAS ENTERPRISE. DOUGLAS. GEORGIA.
a neighbor to whom he owed the
money to come for it the next day.
It was just at dusk that Huldah, in the
kitchen, caught the echo of the
j cheery “Get uy> there!” of her father
Sin front of the house. She hastened
the preparations for the evening meal.
Then she failed to hear her father as
usual bustling about the stable.
“That is strange!” she murmured,
as she did not see any lantern light
at the rear of the house. Then she
went ent to the front. The horse and
wagon were standing near the hitch
ing post. Just then Seth came in from
the fields.
“Why, I wonder what can have be
come of father!” spoke Huldah. “Oh,
Seth! There he is lying in the road!”
The old man had fallen, or had been
knocked from the wagon —the latter,
| it seemed, for there was a mark neai
the temple suggesting a blow from
some blunt instrument. His pockets
were turned inside out, tin watch and
the old purse he always carried were
gone. They carried liith into the
house.
It became known all over the dis
trict the next day that two thieves
had followed Mr. Bingham from town,
in some way aware that he carried a
large amount of money around with
him, and had robbed him of the mort
gage money—s2,ooo.
Jared was dazed when he cfctne back
to consciousness. He recalled being
assaulted by two men Just as he left
the wagon to secure the horse to the
hitching post.
“I had the money from the bank in
two one-thousand-dollar bills,” he
said. “I’d put them in an old snuff box
and kept that in my coat pocket,
where I could constantly feel it. They
must have got it, yet—yet—” and he
tried to think hard—“it seems to me
that their coming at me warned me,
and I clutched the box, and —and —no;
it's no use, I can't remember! It’s
four years more hard work to make it
up, but I'm thankful they spared my
life.”
They never discovered any trace
of the thieves. It broke up the old
man considerably to realize the tre
mendous loss with which he had met.
“I hope his mind is going to be all
right,” spoke Huldah anxiously to her
husband one day.
“Why should you think otherwise?”
asked Seth.
“Why, every once in a while father
stops work and goes out to the spot
where he was knocked from the wag
on by those men. He will stand star
ing there for a full quarter of an hour
at the hitching post, as if it were a
sort of an oracle he was consulting.”
“Well, it was a great shuck, the
robbery,” said Seth, “but it will wear
off with father after a time.”
Seth had bought a new horse, a
great powerful animal, and he hitched
him up one morning to go to town.
The rig was all ready in front of the
house while the family were eating
breakfast. Suddenly, glancing out of
the side window, old Jared sprang
quickly to his feet and ran out of the
house.
“That road roller is coming,” hr
shouted, “and I'll bet it scared the new
horse. Too late! Too late! Slam
etty-bang! The animal's gone, hitch
ing post and all!”
The announcement was true. The
new horse had pulled the hollow post
up and was speeding down the turn
pike with it swinging behind him.
Seth started in pursuit. Father and
daughter stood staring after. Sudden
ly Jared uttered a strange cry. He
stooped over and from the scattered
dirt where the post had been pulled
from place picked up—his old snuff
box.
“Why, I remember, clear as day,
now!” he shouted. “Huldah!” and
he opened the box and the two SI,OOO
bills were safe and sound.
It was true, and just then the con
necting link in the mystery flashed
into the old man’s mind. When the
robbers had attacked him he had
slipped the box over the edge into the
hollow tube, and time and circum
stances had proven it to be a safe
hiding place.
LOTS OF COMPANY FOR POOR
Statistics Show 82 Out of 100 Leave
No Wealth at Death—Records
of Surrogate Court
It may astonish you to know that if
you are forty-five years old you have a
better chance to live ten years longer
than you had of living ten years when
you were only twenty-five years old,
remarks “Girard” in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
From a great life insurance com
pany I have the mortality figures for
100 healthy men at twenty-five. In the
first decade after that age five of the
100 die. In the second decade, or from
thirty-five to forty-five years of age, 11
die, showing that to be the critical
period in human existence.
Between forty-five and fifty-five only
four pass out, while in the subsequent
decade 16 fall. Of the little army of
100 there still remain 37 at the age of
seventy-five.
This company says that of 100 men
who start a business life at twenty
five, five will become rich and four
wealthy. Surrogate court records show
that only three out of every 100 men
die possessed of an estate of more
than SIO,OOO. Eighty-two out of the
100 leave no income-yielding estate.
Obviously if one loves lots of com
pany one should remain poor.
Little liiusions.

“You will not miss the easy monthly
payments.”

LURE OF THE GREAT CITY
In Spite of Royal Mandate London Has
Always Proved Irresistible
to the Rich.
Royal proclamations, which in these
days of stress follow fast and follow
faster, differ in one important respect
Jacobean days; they merely proclaim
what the law allows. One of the most
curious efforts to secure reform by
proclamation of the illegal kind was
that made while London was expand
ing at a feverish rate and the coun
ties were supposed to be suffering by
the desertion of the nobility and gen
try, says the London Chronicle.
Proclamations were Issued by James
I forbidding the erection of new build
ing in the metropolis, and ordering
the well-to-do to reside in their coun
try houses for the good of their neigh
bors and the poor. One of Aese king
ly efforts pointed to “those swarms of
gentry, who, through the instigation
of their wives, or to now-model and
fashion tlieir daughters (who, if they
were unmarried, marred their reputa
tions. and, if married, lost them) did
neglect their country hospitality, and
cumber the city, a general nuisance to
the kingdom.” In spite of the star
chamber, however, and heavy fines
(one Sussex gentleman was fined
£1,000) the lure of London proved
irresistible, and the melancholy pre
diction of James was realized, “that
England will shortly be London, and
London England.”
