THE GAINESVILLE NEWS. WEDNESDAY AUGUST 27, 1902, FOR THE LITTLE ONES. Coo! In Summer, Warm In Winter. Whereas the earth gets thorough ly heated with a week of sun, the temperature of the sea takes many weeks, to rise and is at its highest, point at a time when the soil is al ready cooling off. During the win ter the sea slowly gives up its sum- mer heat and so warms the air above it and the land near it. In summer the process is reversed. A CLEVER CLERK. A Family of Chicks That Were Hatched In a Tree. About May 1 one of our hens, which was known to be laying, to tally disappeared. For some ten days she baffled ail our efforts to discover any trace of her. At last she was found sitting on the eggs she had laid in a squirrel’s nest in a Scotch fir tree at a height of six teen feet from the ground. For the remaining eleven days of her incubation the hen was watched descending and ascending from bough to bough t.o her high perch, at first every day once, but latterly once every other day, as far as could be observed. On Thursday, May 22, the hen was found with six live chickens and two dead ones at the foot of the tree. Unluckily no one wit nessed the actual descent. She could not, however, be persuaded to enter an ordinary hen coop. With some trouble the hen and her six chickens were got eventual ly on to some straw in an old rail way carriage, which I had erected some years ago on the edge of the Sallow, j&gr Bilious People ' W need a gentle stimulant for the liver ^ and a tonic for the system.

He asked permission of the father to urge his suit, and after rebuking him for his presumption Baring told him that were he a partner in the Hope house he might listen to him. The clerk, after succeeding with his mission, returned to Am sterdam and told what Baring had held out to him. He then asked to be made a partner on the strength of his prospects, and the Hopes agreed. As a partner the clerk re- Cutting Capers.

The doctor came, and he said ’twas plain That dolly’s trouble was chronic, And he thought a ride on a railroad train Would suit her best for a tonic.

Office No, 1 State Bank Buildim Dunlap and Thompson INSURANCE AGENTS. One of Senator Hoar’s Habits. One of Senator Hoar’s peculiar street car habits is his seemingly unconscious, desire to get a seat near the door where he is to get out. The other day he boarded a long F street car which was well filled. The venerable senator had to take a seat near the front end. As the caf proceeded toward the capitol the passengers gradually got out. Ev ery time a person next to the sena tor got out he promptly slid into the vacated place. By repeating this sliding operation a half dozen times the senator arrived at the seat next the door, which he held the balance of the journey. The senator seemed preoccupied the y^hile with other matters, hi - lips were moving rapidly, evidently trying to keep pace with hi.- thoughts, and when he executed the moye *for his departed neighbor’, seat it was with the unconscious eagerness of a small bov after ar apple.—Washington Star.

My mother keeps six boarders. “Oh, dear!” exclaimed little Sam my, whose clothes are all made out of his father’s old ones,: much to his regret. “Papa has had his whiskers shaved off, and I suppose I’ll have to wear them too.” “Mamma,” asked a litfiie three- year-old miss, “is papa’s picture torn ?” “Not that I know of, dear,” re plied the mother. “Why did you ask?” “Because,” answered the little one, “this morning he said, Tam my pic ture!”’ Little Margie’s father is a sales man for a baking powder firm, and one evening while repeating her prayers before retiring she astonish ed her mother by adding, “And please, Lord, make me pure, like the baking powder papa sells.” Aunt Mary—No wonder you are not feeling well, Harry.

They go waltzing along among the mesquites and across the street, where the dust is so deep you have to wear snowshoes, and they will chase you as a coyote chases a jackrabbit, till they catch you, douse your nose and tears full of sand and skip merrily away, almost laughing at you.

I Concerning Busts! jSome school children were being shown through the capitol the other day and visited, among other places, the vice president’s room. Mr. White, the handsome young clerk of Senator Frye, undertook to play guide for the youngsters. “Here,” said he, “is-the bust of George Washington, the first presi dent of the United States. He is dead now, you know. And here is the bust of Jefferson. He’s dead too. And this is Henry Wilson, one of the vice presidents. He died in this room.” A little girl looked up at Mr. White with wide open, wondering eyes. “Did he bust, too?” she asked.—Washington Post. Cuban Oxen. In Cuba the oxen are the chief farm animals and the most useful ones. They are used for plowing, hauling and for almost every other purpose. On the larger plantations mules are used, and an» American gets much more service from them than a Cuban. The Cuban horse dues not do much teaming. He is in reality a pony and is very sturdy. Four or five are hitched tandem for hauling, but as a rule the great ox carts are used. The pony bears his master everywhere, and, too, he is loaded down with the merchandise of the farm, such as hay, fruits and vegetables. A New Fabric.
