It is 0 f the well-known Shin- and the Whitaker home- Huldwin county. ..ods of the Shinholster are two huge Indian typ compost hol.ter pla«' je; In th« pltt “ d5f 0 ut of which many treasures Jive been taken. It is supposed that these mounds were bulit by the na tives with a twofold purpose; to be used as a burial ground and to be used for refuge in time of If'gh water. I like to think of the Indians who lived in the woods near these mounds. Wouldn’t you like to see exactly how one of those villages looked? Can’t iu just see their wigwams and •Ids that were so dear to them? How they must have enjoyed roam ing the wods in the bri^c fall days when the leaves had just transform ed the woods into a mass of color! Then, when the trees began to put forth tender green buds and leaves in the spring, they surely must have xpent many happy hours in the warm sunlight Across the rood froip this place is a beautiful white colonial house at the end of a long driveway, which is lined on each side with tall, stately pines. The plact* is no longer in good condition, but fifty years ago the Whitakers, who owned the place, were famous for their hospitality. Many times my grandmother has told me of the houseparties, which the daughters of the home gave frequent ly. There were many negro servants to attend to the needs of the guests and the household. The cooks were noted for their skill. % The house was certainly a place of love and laugh ter. In recent years, Mr. Shinholster has made many modern mprovements on his place. The house is a two story stucco bungalow of modern architecture. The entire top floor is parlor or recreation hall. The urnlshing- are quiet but tasteful. A ■ge number of tree# and shrubs ’have been set out in the front yard. The driveway to the back of the house has a row of crepe myrtle bushes on each side. In the back yard there is a Delco lighting system, a water tank an^l two large barns. Three tractors are in readiness for the cultivation of crops. In the woods behind the house there it a (flowing) artesian well. The w;.tcr fro mhtsi well is carried into a ;oncrete swimming pool, which is sixty-three feet long and thirty- three feet wide. There is a bench around all four sides of the pool where guests may watch the swim mers. A dressing house stands on one side of the pool. The woods which surround his playground are beautiful in the fall. There are tables in the woods for picnic lunch es. The trees are mostly evergreens interspersed with a few trees whose leave# are now n brilliant orange or red or yellow in the. fall of the year. Each of these three types of American life seems to have been given every opportunity to provide happiness. Do you wonder, as I do, which one has given the most pleasure?

They protrude at different places and lengths from the fox-like part of his face, and i able him to “feel" his way in the dark. Insignificant?

If he did not kill them, we would kill him, so what is the poor feline to do?

JUST CATS—AND CATS b oat th. win daw and aroaod ataalth 17. alraid that ha will U A cat is u four-legged animal, with a round head, that holds two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. He is different from folks because he’ can see in the dark, and he has a tail— with fur on it. There are three kinds of cats, Persian, Maltese, and Angora cat#. The Persians is so called that because they is known by their queer purrs. Some cats is made for little boys and girls to maul and tease. These is called maltese cats, and cats with fiery tempers is called Angora cats.” So write a little boy in his composition on cats. It is partly true and caracteristically phrased. Cats are a species of animal which are put on the earth for the sole purpose of killing rats. Rats are a detriment rather than a gain to the human race, but the cats have to huve something to do to prevent them from scratching the children. Hence the appearance of the rats! “God made cats the same as he did little apples, Little apples can be made into cider but. although it may be true, we do not usually think of cat It has been said that cats possess extraordinary musical powers. This was probably said by an inhabitant of the north pole or som? tuch region, where the houses are so thick, the melodious cat “squalls” can not penetrate. No American could conscientiously inak:• such a statement, for, wh*\ in the realm of cats, has not thrown shoe#, books, atracks, and the like, out of the win dow, to calm the disturbances in the feline household. Cats have little hawk-like eyes, with pupils which become little in the day time, and gradually increase in size towards night, to enable them to see in the dark. This is u bad idea, for if the cats could not see at night, they would fall off the back fences, and in time, lose all of their nine lives, and spare us poor human beings the nightly serenades. Prowlers in the night are arrested and put. in jail, but -he big black eat struts bravely by the policeman, who in stead of placing him under arrest, runs from him. Would it not be nice to be a cat and have the law afraid of you? Why, I have seen people walk four blocks out of the way to avoid going across the path of a black cat. Is it not a distinction to have such a reputation? By the; way, cats #re not divided into, race* according to pqlor, ns we are. They may be arty; and u#4allyjire. „ So my are quijf pretty, though, unfortunately, all of them are not grafted together perfectly as flowers and fruity to present a beau tiful color. There are fellow cats, grey cats, spotted cat*, striped eats, but apparently, the king of them all is the black cat.
