| Adoption of a National Constructive Agricultural Policy--Plans for a National Agricultural Chamber of Commerce The American Cotton association, both through the press, by personal representatives and through cor respondence, has used every effort to have a strong national agricul tural policy adopted, pointing out tnat this is one of the most im portant questions facing our nation today; that through larger appro priations, the scope of the United States department of agriculture should be greatly widened so as to enable it to protect, upbuild and fos ter our agricultural interests, en couraging increased production in all t lines, thus placing our agricultural • interests 'upon an efficient, economic and business basis, removing the enormous unnecessary loss. It has been pointed out that in Holland a farmer receives 97 1-2 per cent of the amount paid by the con sumer, which condition exists prac tically throughout Europe, while in America the producer only receives 50 per cent of the amount paid by tbtf consumer, and for cotton he re a far smaller proportion. ■'•“7 -■’Qormous uneconomic loss i>e removed in Justice to the pro , ducer and consumer. In this work the association has emphasized in the strongest terms the enormous decrease of the population in the rural sections, due to the movement of people from the country into the towns and cities, and as a result of these efforts, the American Cotton association is receiving the strongest indorsement of leaders regardless of section. Among the letters and telegrams received indorsing the stand made by the American Cotton association, are messages from leaders, not only -- indorsing this position in the strong < est terms and emphasizing the tfre mendoua importance to the entire na tion of a strong national constructive agricultural policy with larger ap propriations, but in addition to this, the president of the American Cot-, ton association has been urged to take all necessary steps for speedily organizing a national agricultural ' chamber of commerce, it being point ed out that such an organization would render an almost unthinkable service in the upbuilding of agricul tural interests nation-wide. It has also been pointed out that the Amer ican Cotton association could broad en its scope so as to embrace the National Agricultural Chamber of I Old-Fashioned School T eacher Ends Her Life, D eafness the Cause of Act Luna Bemis, an old-fashioned school teacher, died in her band box apartment at 1245 Amsterdam ave nue. Miss Bemis was forty-five years old and she had been teaching in the New Yosk public schools for many vears. She died of gas asphyxiation , and the police theory is that she committed suicide, arrived at be cause it is very unlikely that four gas jets on a cooking stove and a ■ fifth on a lighting fixture could have been opened simultaneously, by acci dent. For twenty-four years Miss Bemis had lived only for other folks’ chil dren. Her tender love for her classes did not halt when the clock marked the dismissal hour. She took them for little trolley trips into the coun try and collected flowers and butter flies with them. i A year ago Miss Bemis resigned. She had been troubled with increas ing deafness, which made it difficult for her to teach. Doctors told her it might be cured, if ,she would rest for a long time. So she retired from the class-room and took to visiting doctors and trying cures; but she did not let go of her children. They ‘ visited her every week, droves of them, and brought her their little ' immature pictures and their uneven- 1 t Braves Flames to Help Save Jewelry; May Die NEW YORK.—After Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Heuer, their thre children, and Leon Levy, a boarder, had es \ caped from a third floor fire, Mrs. Heuer exclaimed she had left 5500 in cash and a 5750 diamond ring under a mattress in her bedroom. It was believed the fire had wrecked the apartment by that time, but Mrs. Heuer wrapped a towel about her head and ran toward the burning staircase. Levy ran after her and said he would try to get the valuables. He took the towel and ran to the third floor landing, where he was met by heavy smoke and flames. Choking, fc he groped his way to a window and ■ ? crawled to the sill. Firemen yelled to him to hold on while a ladder w r as | run up, but Levy lost his grip and fell thirty feet. He was carried to Gouverneur hospital, where it was . £ said he may die. s The fire was discovered in the Heuer apartment by Heuer’s nine £ year-old son, Solomon.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. Commerce. It has been clearly point ed out that such an organization does not exist in America today, although the need of same is self-evident. The suggestion regarding the for mation of this organization came from men of national reputation, who have offered to not only co-op erate and assist in forming this larg er organization, but to assist finan cially, It being pointed out that such an organization will have a tre mendous scope and would necessitate the management of the very best experts to be secured for these vari ous departments. It is urged that the agricultural and commercial in terests »of our nation must concen trate and correlate their efforts for the purpose of meeting the conditions which have followed the world war. These leaders have assured us that such an organization would have the hearty support of not only the great agricultural leaders, but the great commercial leaders throughout the nation, who realize more than ever today the vital necessity of upbuild ing and protecting our agricultural interests. These various suggestions are now receiving the careful attention of the officials of the American Cotton as sociation, and special conferences will be arranged for to discuss this mat ter. Which the association realizes is of such tremendous importance. The sustaining membership plan adopted by the American Cotton as sociation is meeting with strong sup port. not only from the farmers and business men of the cotton belt, but from business men in the various commercial centers of America. Through this plan the association will be made one of the most pow erful organizations in this country. The president of the association has positively refused to permit any re quests to be made for financial as sistance through sustaining member ships, or otherwise, until he had been absolutely assured that the American Cotton association had rendered a service that would absolutely Justify such action, and in addition, until the prosperity of the association was assured beyond a shadow of doubt. The subscribers to the sustaining membership plan will be published through the press from time to time. J. S.

The pictures and needlework she took and framed and hung on the walls of her cabin of a sitting room, with the butterfly collections and the dried flowers. The place looked like an art gallery of sorts. Luna Bemis went to a great spe cialist who told her very gently but quite decidedly that she could never yegain her hearing. She did not say much about it to the neighbors, but she had a big party of her children. Fifty of them crowded into her apartment and she made them fudge and' they all laughed and sang and played games. Harry Miller, a neighbor, held a dumb waiter conversation with Miss Bemis. She told him she was going to spend a quiet holiday. A little afterward he heard her singing in her kitchenette. She wrns singing “A Long, Long Trail.” An hour later Miller smelled gas and called in the police. Luna Bemis, the old-fashioned school teacher, was lying on the floor of the kitchenette. Her l»?ad rested on a pillow and a bedquilt was tucked around her body. She was fully dressed and there -was a happy, placid, old fashioned smile on her lips, although her heart had stopped 1 beating. Girl Learning to Drive Automobile Is Killed Louise McCullough, fiifteen years old, of 410 drive, New York, died from injuries received when she lost control of the automo bile she was learning to drive and collided with a tree on Pelham Park way near White Plains avenue. The car was overturned and its three oth er occupants, one of whom was the girl’s mother, Mrs. Louise McCul lough, were pinned beneath it. Miss McCullough died from a punctured lung shortly after she reached Fordham hospital. Her mother is in a critical condition from a fractured right arm and internal injuries. Petro Holanda, the negro chauffeur, and Edwin Elser, a cousin of the McCulloughs, escaped with lacerations and bruises. According to Holanda, Miss Mc- Cullough was driving at moderate speed when she swerved to avoid a ' boy who had run into the road ahead of her. The car ran up on the side wmlk, stuck a tree and turned upside down. Persons living near by lifted it off its passengers and sent in a call to the hospital.

HULL Golden Text: “Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5. Did you ever know a young man thirty years old who had been through all the experiences of Da vid? Think this through; it will give you a new appreciation of the man. Chosen of God while yet a boy, and annointed by Samuel for the highest office in the nation; continuing as one of the laboring classes, tending his father’s sheep in the mountains; communing here, however, with God. and developing the talent that made him the most noted musician in the world; fighting Goliath and other Philistines, and doing military ex ploits. that were regarded by Saul as impossible, until his praises as a military leader were on the lips of every man, woman and child in the nation; hunted like a wild animal from rock to cave, from Philistra to Moab, from wildernes to city; ex iled from home; suspected by friend and foe alike; fearless in the face of any foe. but patient, and gentle, and kindly in his dealings when his ene mies were at his mercy—this was David at thirty years of age. Has he a parallel in history? But David has his dark days. After sparing Saul’s life the second time he lost his grip on God for a time and took things into his own hands. He went back into Gath into the country of his nation’s enemy, and made Achish believe that he was his friend. He could not be the friend of a Philistine and an Israelite at the same time. He fooled Achish but made a mess of his life at that time. Among other things he married Maa chah, the daughter of the king of Geshur. She was the mother of Ab solom; and you may imagine some of the heartaches that Absolom caused him in later years. When the Amali kites raided Ziklag and took away all the women and children, including all of his wives too, his own men turned against him and wanted to* kill him. But David had recognized before this the mistake that he had made in trying to direct his own life, so he leaned no longer on his own understanding. But strenthened his heart in God. God spared him from his own followers and gave to him the victory—he got back every wom an and child and a vast amount of booty besides. God spared him from a more dan gerous position also. He had gotten himself into a place where he would either have had to be a traitor to his own nation and fight against his own people, over whom he had been an nointed to be king—and thus he would have been a traitor to God also—or he would have had to turn against the *• Philistines and be a araitor to'AThish who trusted him implicitly. God delivered him from this predicament, into which he had gotten himself, by making the Phil istine lords suspcious of him and refusing to let him go into the bat tle. He had no peace though until he heard how the battle fared on Gil boa. Pie had been tw r o days back from the capture of the Amalakites, and had had no news. They were days of anxiety for him, and I can believe that he was much in prayer that God would give the victory to Israel, for his heart was still with, his people, and Saul, the Lord’s an nointed, as well as Jonathan his friend were concerned in their suc cess. God’s Answer Finally the news came. An Amali kite runner brought it. The battle had gone against Israel. He had seen Saul pierced with a spear, mor tally wounded, but not dead, and realizing that there was no hope for him, he himself had put an end to his suffering. (Some think that this was a lie on his part, made up to gain David’s favor; it may have been, but David believed him and slew him on the strength of his own state ment.) Jonathon had been slain, all but one of Saul’s sons had fallen; there had been a great slaughter of the people, Israel had suffered defeat and many of her cities had been taken. This was God’s answer to David’s prayer! But wait. David poured out his heart in the song of the bow, which he had the nation learn and sing often, to commemorate the good things of Saul and Jonathon. (In 2 Sam. 1:18, the words “the use of” are in italics, showing that they have been- supplied by the translators. All agree that this should be, “also he bade them teach the children of Ju dah the song of the bow.” Study it and see in it the nobility of David. He forgotten everything ugly in Saul’s life, particularly bis cruel per secution of himself, and is singing only of his lovely qualities. Is not such an one a better man to be king over Israel than Saul? Is not God answering David’s prayer for his people by removing an unworthy leader to make room for a worthy one to lead them? Would you have fasted and mourned a whole day upon hearing the defeat of one who had been making your life a deso lation? Would you -have punished .severely the one who had claimed to have caused your persecutor’s de feat? Would you have taught your children a song commemorating your persecutor’s good points, and utterly ignoring all his faults? Now David did not know this; but when the Philistines came up against him, Saul inquired of the Lord and when he could get no answer he con sulted a fortune teller, a spirit med ium (she may have used a ouija board at times) —and God had no further need of a man of this kind as the head of His people. In set ting him aside, in allowing him and his to be destroyed. He opened the way for David, the man of His choosing, and thus, but in a differ ent way from what David thought, God was answering David’s prayer for his people Israel. David had learned his lesson well. He would not lean upon his own un derstanding again; he had made such a muddle of it. So he inquired of the Lord as to what he must do— should he go up to any of the cities of Judah? And God’s answer was, Go up. David needed more detail though; he had lost all confidence in himself, and would take no step without God’s direction. Into what city of Judah should he go? And God’s answer came, “Unto Hebron.” The Annointing So to Hebron they went —David and his two wives and his men. It is worthy of note that David had influence enough with his men to bring them and keep them, for they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. There the men of Judah came and annointed David king over Judah. They were convinced that he was the only one who could lead them in this time of distress because of the Philistines; they were sure that he had been annointed by God to lead them, and their annointing acknowl edged God’s previous choice. His first act as king was one of kindness. He heard of the way that the men of Jabesh-Gilead had shown their gratitude to Saul for his kind nesses to them when he had‘first be gun to reign, and David rewarded them and prayed God’s blessing on them. It was good politics, but that was not primarily in David's mind. It showed the friends of Saul that he had no grudge against Saul, but that was not his first consideration. It was the big heartedness of this young man of thirty; he was wise in winning men to him, because he was generous in giving praise where praise was due, even though it be a kindness done to his persecutor, and after all David had the greatest re spect for God’s annointed. But David's life was not now to be a bed of roses. Bbner and Cush the Benjamite, and Doeg the Ed monite, were left. It was not hard for them to believe that David was a traitor to his nation, nor hard for them to convince the other tribes of it. Loyalty to Saul and to the cause that he represented was their plat form, and so they rallied around Ish bosheth, the only surviving son of Saul. War between the house of David and the house of Saul went on continually, but the former waxed stronger and the latter grews weaker every day. At the end of two and a half years Ishbosheth was foully murdered; but it was not until he had alienated the strongest Os his ; followers. Abner resented his insin . nations, and turned to David. David i received him, but not until he had I made good by restoring to him ; Michal, Saul’s daughter, and his first wife, who had been taken from him ■ and given to Phaltiel. Abner then enlisted the support of the other tribes, and had just left David when I ; The Tri-Weekly Journal’s Fashion Suggestions i /i wi /./wQk u\ \A Ww 1 1 A I I V|\ J w] iwj D 6 e 1 LI * • f He P A « 9029 LADY'S DRESS.

Bryant beached his canoe on the shores of the Hudson river at Two Hundred and Fifth street and rested after his trip of 650 miles from Toronto, Canada, to New York. He brings greetings from Thomas L. Church, mayor of Toronto, to Mayor Hylan. For ten months in each year Mr. Bryant is a violinist. In the other two he paddles his canoe over watery spaces that no one has ever pad died before. Last year he crossed Lake Ontarion in his sixteen-foot cruiser type canoe. This year he started from Toronto on June 1 and made his first stop at Hamilton. From where he headed for Port Dauhousie. A storm came up and the life guards hurried out to rescue him, but he kept on. His route from there was through the Welland canal to Lake Erie and across Lake Erie to Buffalo, down the Niagara river to Tonawanda, through the Barge canal to T*roy and down the Hudson to New York. The trip took him twenty days, but he traveled on only fifteen, averaging a little more than forty three miles a day. It cost him S3O. Aunt Continues Fight to Get Child From Mother Mrs. Katrina Paxton, of Chicago, refuses to accept as final the action of Justice Tierney, who last week dismissed a writ of habeas corpus which she swore out through her New York attorney to get the cus tody of her three-and-a-half-year-old nephew; Constant L. Fliermans, 111, The child is in New York in the cus tody of his mother, Mrs. Henrjca Bernardina Collet-Fliermans. Mrs. Paxton applied to Justice Davis for an order directing Mrs. Collet-Fliermans to show cause why the action of Justice Tierney in dis missing the writ should not be va cated and the mother be restrained from removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court pending fur ther legal action by the aunt to get tike boy. *Mrs. Collet-Fliermans was never married to Constant L. Fliermans,. Jr., father of the child, it is alleged.’ He is a wealthy resident of Chicago and is now in Holland. Mrs. Collet- Fliermans, as she has been known, is a native of The Hague, where she met Fliermans. The mother turned her child over to Mrs. Paxton, that her son might be assured of good care and train ing. She later repudiated her agree ment, went to Chicago and in habeas corpus proceedings got her child back for a period of forty-five days. The attorney for Mrs. Paxton said he feared Mrs. Collet-Fliermans would kidnap her son and take him from the jurisdiction of the court. Switchman a Suicide, Worried Over Wreck HARTFORD, Conn.—Peter Caston guay, a railroad switchman who was on duty when an express train was in an accident in the yards of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad here, committed suicide re cently. Inquiry made by the coroner’s of fice indicated that the man had wor ried over the wreck, complaining that an effort was being made to fix the responsibility upon him. At the office of Division Superintendent Mitchell it was stated that Caston quay did not return to work after the wreck, and nothing was heard of him until word of his death was received. The wreck cost the life of Engin eer Ralph Gray. of Springfield, i Mass,, and injured several others. j Joab treacherously slew him to ! avenge his brother’s’ death. David was the chief mourner at his funeral i and thus again by his treatment of j a former foe won the hearts of those i who had opposed him. Finally the other tribes were con vinced that David was no foe, but their friend, and the annointed of Jehovah to be their king. So they gathered at Hebron to annoint him, giving three reasons for so doing: First, that he was bone of their bone —he had always been that, but they had to be convinced that he was not against them; second, that he it was who had led them out to victory against the Philistines—and surely they needed such a leader now: third, that he was the annointed of the Lord—why didn’t they think of this seven and a half years before? That one reason was enough, regardless of the others, and should have been put first. They tacked it on like some people do their religion, while it should have been their supreme and prime and sufficient reason. But they annointed David king | over all Israel, and thus David real- , ized God’s plan for him by waiting | on God. David has a message for each of ! us today, as a result of his life up • to this point. If any one thing was i characteristic of him, it was his mis- i trust in himself, and his trust in God. He made mistakes when he for got it; he did exploits as long he realized it. So then heed the words of his wise son when he said, “Trust in Jehovah with all thine heart; and lean not upon thine own understand ing. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME What should I say when a boy ask me to go anywhere’ and I can’t go? What must I do when a boy tells me he loves me? What should I do when a boy or any one says I am pretty. I had a boy to put hi s arms around me one time and I slapped him. I did it before I thought, but am not sorry for it. Did Ido right? I told him he had better not do it again. How should I act toward boys to let them know I try to do and want to be a nice girl? Should I let my boy friend have my ring? Should I Wave at boys? Does it look bad for a girl my age to sit in a car all p. m. with a boy at an all-day singing? What can 1 do to keep my sister and brother from quarreling? Is there any harm in using slang words before boys? What must a girl say when she is introduced to a boy or girl? When a girl and boy goes anywhere, which should go in first and sit down? Is it all right for a boy to tease a girl about another boy? Should you ac cept chewing gum from boys and chew it in their presence? Does it look nice for a girl to nod her head to any one instead of speaking? Should I let boys have my picture? I am going to Cartersville and. At lanta to see some relatives of mine in uly. What should I fix to carry and wear that’s inexpensive. Thanking you very, VERY MUCH. I will give you this name be cause you failed to sign yourself anything. I want the letters I receive to be signed with the writer’s own name, with a fancy name for the paper, and unless they sign their names I am not going to answer. All the letters I receive are treated confident ially, and I destroy them after printing the answers. Any one who is afraid of giving their name, needn’t expect a reply to any letters they write me. When a boy asks you to ’go anywhere and you find it impos sible to go, say you appreciate the invitation, but you cannot accept, and give your reason. When a boy tells you he loves • you and you have a reason to be lieve he does and you do not, thank him in a polite manner for bestowing his affections up on you, do not ridicule him. It may sound silly to you, but very sacred to' him. Men do not al ways mean what they say. If any one tell you you are pretty, do not simper and laught, take it as it is meant. More than one girl has been made a fool of just because she swallowed hard all the flattery that was baited out ’to her. You know what you look like. You need not use the knock down and drag out “method” when boy tries to hug you, but you can put him in his place by "your cool manner and being a lady. There is no way to act before boys except the right way, so they will have the correct and highest opinion of you. Never let them become familiar with you. Never let them kiss add hug you. Never let them say anything in your pres ence, unfit for other ears. You can do this by leaving theni and not mixing wit hthem again. If you would have boys respect you. do nothing to give them a lead. Waving, and winking and hollering at boys and trying to flirt with them, is mighty poor taste and you will lay yourself liable to insults if you pursue that idea of a good time. At any public place, such as church or the theater, or movies, the lady goes first. Letting boys have your picture is poor taste, a pic ture should be given only to the closest of friends and relatives • only. A girl should be very careful about this one thing. Traveling calls for simple frocks, and things which can be easily packed. You had better use your own judgment in this line. I am coming to you for advice. I am a girl of 24. Am in love with a boy 23, and he went to France and wrote me every week while he was gone and he said he loved me dear ly and wouldn’t go with no other girl until he came back. Then he began to go with other girls and won’t pay me no attention, although he will speak to me, but that’s all. He won’t talk to me. If someone has talked to him to cause him to do this way will he ever care for me again? I believe someone has turned him from me, I know he once loved me. and I know I care more for him than any one else. What can I do to gain his love back? Should he or I speak first? Please print this in The Journal at once. A PEACH. The problems of “love” is very great sometimes, and there is no telling what will happen or which turn it will take. I » would have to have the judgment of Solomon (and I think I am a poor substitute) to solve the eternal question ever before me. But if this boy has meant a great degl to you in the past, and you are sure he loved you, and you are at a loss to understand his present attitude, and it con cerns you so much, I think the best plan would be to make it a point to see him and have a heart to heart talk with him. There is nothing like knowing how one stands, and I believe to see him and find out will be the best thing, clear up the mystery at any rate. But do not by any means run after him or place yourself in a position to have him talk about you. If he hasn’t the manhood in him to act on the * square, he isn’t worthy of your love. This is the second time I have come to you for advice and have not seen it in The Journal, but hope you will print it this time, for I am very much troubled. I am a motherless girl of 1 8 years, and am in love with a boy of 24. • I have known him for a number of years. He asked me to marry him about two years ago. and I told him to wait a year or two, but he would not wait. He went and mar ried another girl and they soon part ed and now he said he don’t believe she was the right one for him. and still wants me and I am promised to him and he is get a divorce soon, but my father found it out and is doing all he can against it. He says it would be a sin. and a shame to marry a man with a living wife, even if he has got a divorce. Please tell me if it is wrong to marry him. Father said he will never be any good, of course his people are of a very low grade family and are not thought much of. but he talks like he wants to do some good and don’t you think if I would go on and try to do right and make something that he would be all right and not take after his people so much? Os course father is as good to me as he can be and always gives me good ad i vice and never tells me a lie, but he ; might have the wrong idea. So please i tell me just 'what you think of this ■ and as soon as you. Thanking you jn advance. LILLIE. I If you refused the young man when he first asked you to marry i him, and he married some one else, it is absolutely wrong for you to come between he and his wife. The marriage contracts reads thusly: “For better or worse until death do part,” and he stood before his maker, and made that vow, and you are help ing him to break it. That is a sin. and you will never be happy w ’hh him, for if he will forget the duty he owes to the woman he has already married, he will break his vows to you. Give him up. Jet his image fade from your mind, your father is telling you the truth and abide by his ad vice. Dear Miss Mary Meredith: I am coming to your for good advice. lam a young stepmother over three chil dren, two boys and one girl. I have been married nearly eight years. I I have been good to the children all the , time and now I am not able to do i anything hardly. I have been sick j for a year. The boys treat me very ! well, but the girl treats me meanly. I She won’t listen at - nothing I tell i her. I can show her how to wash | dishes and she will get mad and half wash the dishes and stove ves sels, and when I go to cook I will have to wash everything over. She is so unclean until I cannot eat her cooking. I have whipped her and have done everything in this world to break her. I can’t do anything with her. She gets worse all the time. Her father gets mad at me ' | and tells me I try to boss too much. IHe upholds her. I don’t think he 11 cares anything for me or he wouldn’t I let her treat me this way. I have to II sit down to do the cooking and dish 1 j washing. The girl is thirteen years I old. I married when I was just a : ; young girl. I hope all of the girls ’ I will take a lesson from this and | not marry a widower. I hope to see 1 j this in print next week’s Journal, for lam in trouble. From a BROKEN-HEARTED MOTHER. I had a stepmother, too, long ago, and while she was strict, we learned to love her, because she was kind. It took a long time, but she won out in the end. Chil- - dren, even though they are very young, get an idea that a step mother is an ogre (and some of ' them are), but at the same time children are much to blame. They are led to think all sorts of things by what others tell them. ' ; Consequently the stepmother has | a hard time. But love will over come many obstacles, and you might be able to rule the girl ' I with kindness. Try to be a com- ■ ‘ panion to her; do not scold her ; for every little thing she does j wrong—that is not .any way to i raise children. Scolding is sim i ply awful. But if she fails to wash the dishes right, stay there with her if she has to do them five or six times until she sees it is useless to do any way but the right way. Brides, do not put so much work on her. Give her certain duties to, perform, and when she has done them to your satisfaction, let her have some time to play. Do not always be calling her to do a task, but map out certain things and see that she does them well. You will have a hard time, but you can gain their love if you will try. It may be an uphill climb, but . nothing worth working for comes easy in this world. You have complained to your husband so much, I guess, until he has grown used to you. That should never be. Make it less often, and when you do say it, say it and stick to it. Let him depend on your w o r d. Senescence (The outward and visible signs of age are merely indicative of what is going on within the body. . . . Subjectively there is a gradual les sening of the emotions —of joy. of the zest for adventure, of the pas sions; one by one their heights de crease in altitude. The appetite for food becomes less keen, and the desire for physical activity less in sistent. —Dr. Stanley M. Rinehart in the Satevepost.) Darling. I am growing old; Signs of age are manifold; Such as, on my bean engraven. Silver threads among the ravfen. Yet, my darling, I’ve more fun Than I had at twenty-one; Ahd my love for you is more Than it was at twenty-four. Darling, I am growing old. (As you maybe have been told). And, although I shake and dodder,, I absorb a lot of fodder, I can do more gastric tricks Than I could at twenty-six. Darling, I could write all day, But I’m going out to play. Bird Dodges Bullet’s Scream as a Woman MULLIGAN, Ireland. —This dis trict has been “haunted” by a,n awe inspiring “spiritfowl” which (accord ing to the inhabitants) Screams like a woman. Dodges bullets, and Laughs mockingly at all attempts tO According 1 to those woh have been bold enough to venture near it, bird flies swiftly and perches in the uppermost branches of the tallest trees. It is about the size of a . hen and has small eyes and a bill ■ rather of the vulture type. In color , it is described as between gray and ' ,H Folks stoutly declare that it is not of the fowl family, its head being i inha^ ta " t^ t > a shout which can be heard fully i three miles away, a shout which re , sembles nothing so much as a worn an’s laugh ending in an almost ironic i “Ha’ ha’” Several brave people have traveled long distances to catch a glimpse of the visitant, but worsen and children in the vicinity are scared,of passing near places where it shows itself, as they believe it is a spirit-bird. Some shots have been fired, but the bird calmly sat on a high branch, just shifted its body quickly and slightly to evade the shot, and then coolly shouted its terrific shout and broke into its irritating harsh laugh.
