NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, SEPT. 17 ONE DOLLAR A IN ADVANCK. YEAR HIS FRIEND THE RAT. The Mine Dieatter Story That Went With a Stuffed Rodent. Any twin wtw trill keep a stu/Ted rat tn his room wherever he goes must have n story to t<•11 uliimt the rat. This man has. "Tills story." lie wild. "eoncerns an experience that made my hair curl. I am an engineer. I was once retained to report upon the working of n mine In southern Arizona. The mine was calleil the Iturtmrn. On an adjoining claim was another mine called the Hy perion. A dispute arose. The Hype rion people claimed that the lower lev els of the Harliara had been bored Into their ground and half a dozen fortunes In ore taken out of their mine. "The first thing to do was to make n survey of the Barbara. The Barbara people, of course, objected. Finally, an order for the survey was secured from the court, and 1 was sent, with a man named Jim Banks, to make the tni’yey. "There are tricks In all trades, and the Barbara representative knew a few In Ills. When we reached the mine he snid that the tunnel we wished to ex plore was In a dangerous condition. There had been a cttve-ln, the limbers were rotted, ami so on. "Wo clnssed him as a liar, though he turned out to be right. We worked our Way into the tunnel until wo rail against a Jam of fallen timbers. The timbers, however, were sound and had plainly been arranged to stup our prog ress. Banks went back for an ax. while I worked at the roof with a pick tn dislodge tile center pieces. "I succeeded and had climbed half way over Into the other side of the tunnel when there eume a terrific crash of loose ore from the roof. It fell on both sides of the timbers, pin ning me In a hole which would have been a grave but torn few sticks which held the mass of ore above. "The place was barely large enough to move In. and I knew it wus certain death in a few hours unless Banks could dig me out. "The foul nlr was getting Into my brain, and I think I was actually In- jpane with (be fearful dread of helug borled alive. "1 bud given up all hope and was al most swooning when I beard a strange, scraping sound above me. I yelled, but received no answer. With now en ergy I throw my body against the walls and tried to pick out tlie ore from between the lodged Umbers. Still came the ipiecr scraping noise, which seemed to come nearer and sounded not unlike the steady grinding of u saw It seemed to Iasi for hours, though II could hardly have been u ndnule after when a bit of earth drop ped to my feet from the upper end of the wall, and along with It came a hig gray mine rut. “That nil saved my life, for he left a clear hole for his trail, and through It came a breath of fresh nlr that gave life lo me. The fellow had bored Ills way through from the shaft side of the cave. 1 stayed there two hours after (lint, until Banks found the cave, got help and dug mo out without breaking (lie airhole. "1 caught the gray rat too. I kept Idm fed up like u king until be died. SONG OF THE SHREW. It It Pitched So High That Only Sharp Eart Can Hear It. The high pitched sipieuklng or whis tling of the shrew is n curious sound and frequently acquires quite a song- like character. More often, however, the voice of the shrew is raised in nn ger. for II is n pugnacious little animal, and the males hate fierce combats in the spring of the year. It is n curious fad tluil many people ire tumble to hour the shrew’s squeaking, not that the sou ml Is not loud enough, hut be cause || Is so highly pitched that only sharp ears can record the vibrations. Though often spoken of ns n mouse, the shrew Is of mi entirely different species, being Insectivorous and having sharp teeth on each side of the mouth instead of front teeth, suitable for gnawing, such ns are possessed by mice and other rodents. Though it exists In very great num- licrs and can very frequently lie ob served, much remains to he discovered regarding the life of this little cren- lure, an Italian species of which is our smallest known mnmtnnl. It Is still a mystery why so many dead shrews should be found about the roadsides and pathways. They are fearless little animals, and even when disturbed In their spring Journeys from one place to another they do not allow themselves lo be put out M their course by n trllle. — London Spectator. SIX MEALS A DAY. Thi Fairly Husky Old Laborer Had Healthy Appetite. T'ndotiblcdly It is lieller ns n gen eral rule to take food sparingly than to eat to repletion, and there are some people who even advocate living on one meal a day and who practice what they preach. But there was no "one meal a day" nonsense about the aged Sussex laborer whom E. V. Lucas met Thus ho described his dally round and common lask: “Out In i lie morning at 4 o'clock, mouthful of bread and cheese and pint of ale; then off to the harvest field, ripping mid moen (reaping and mow ing) till 8; then morning breakfast nml small beer—a piece of fat pork as thick as your lint Is wide; then work till 10 o'clock; then n mouthful of bread mid choose mid a pint of strong beer (fore- nooner—•fnrnooner’s lunch,' we call It); work till l‘J; then at dinner in the farmhouse, sometimes a leg of mutton, sometimes ii piece of limn and plum pudding: then work till 5; then a nunch and a quart of ale (iiunrli was cheese. 'I was skimmed cheese, though); then work till sunset; then home and have supper and a pint of ale.”—Lou don Chronicle.

Were that the case, one hundred thousand men wouldjrise to the rescue, if need be. Unfortunately, the losing of the lad is without any dramatic excitement, though very sad and very real. The fact is, his father lost him. Being too busy to sit with him at the fireside and answer his , trivial questions dur ing the yesrs when fathers are the only heroes of the boys, he let go his hold upon him. Yes, his mother lost him. Being much engrossed in her teas, dinners and club programmes, she let the maid hear the boy say his prayers, and thuH her grip slipptd and the boy was lost to his home. Aye, the church lost him. Being so much occupied with sermons for the wiRe and elderly who pay the bills, and having good care for dignity, the min- iiteis and elders were unmindful of the human feelings of the hoy in the pew, and made no provision in sermon or song or manly sport for his boyishness, and sojthe church and many sad-hearted parents are now looking earnestly for the lost boy. None Equal to Chamberlain's. “I have tried most all of the cough cures and find that there is none equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has 1 never failed to give me prompt relief,” writeB W. V.

A good joke is told on nn editor who went one evening to report a party at a home recently blessed with a baby. He met his hostess at the door, and af ter the usual salutations he asked after the baby’s health. The lady, who was quite deaf and suffering with the grippe, thought he was asking after her cold, and {answered* that although Bhe usually had one every winter, this was the worat one she had ever had; it kept her awake at night a good deal, and at first confined her in bed. Then noticing that the newspaper man was getting nervous Bhe said she could tell by his looks that he was going to have one just like hers, and asked him to go in and Bit down.—Jacksonville Metrop olis.

V P~Y~D~ The motor truck business was necessarily of slow growth. Not that the snperiority of the motor vehicle—when once perfected—was unrecognized. On the contrary, every automobile maker realized from the first that this would eventually become the most important branch of the motor industry. But the problems were so many and the conditions to be met so exacting, the more prominent makers hesitated to engage in it—and none did until reasonably sure they had the right thing. As in every other line of business, the inexperienced rushed in where the better informed hesitated. Concerns with money to lose and reputations to be jeopardized were chary about offering for sale trucks of which they could not yet be sure. On the other hand, the demand was an irresistible temptation to the more adventurous, the inventive and the inexperienced; and so it happened that within a short time there were more than three hundred so-called truck manufacturers (90 per cent, of them merely assemblers of parts procured hither and yon) in the field. The mortality has been great—and will be greater. The cost to users of buying such trucks backed by such guarantees (?) cannot be computed. Reo being one of the most prominent and successful makers of automobiles, was one of those to watch, to experiment, but to hold aloof. We could not afford to compete with such a product or with such methods as those with little money, and no reputation at stake, were practicing. On the other fyuid we felt that we were peculiarly well equipped to make trucks—in fact, to take the lead in that branch of the industry, and the product had been developed to the point where it was a dependable machine. Reo factory facilities; Reo engineering experience; and especially the big broadspread Reo sales and service organization, gave us advantages over all others. Reo factory facilities enable us to manufacture a better car for less. This is a prime re quisite, for, being a strictly business proposition, there is no room for extravagant margins in the price of trucks. So the Reo manufacturing facilities gave us an important advantage over newer concerns in that important regard—low cost, and consequent low price. Reo engineering is at the same time the best guarantee of stability, and the best advertis ing for Reo trucks. If you were asked what quality you have always considered first in Reo automobiles you would say—dependability. Reo cars have always been reliable cars. Beginning away back in the dark ages of the industry Reo cars covered themselves with glory in reliability runs. The transcontinental record is still held by a Reo—never has any car made a greater record than that of the great old two-cylinder Reo. To say Reo is to say reliability.
