Th# Minister's Excuse.?The break
In the price of eggs, following the demonstrations
of the Housewives' league 1
in Philadelphia and Chicago, was being
discussed at the Colony club in New (
York. i
"The dealers declare that the housewives'
demonstration had nothing to do '
with the break," said Miss Elizabeth j
Marbury. "They declare that the tenmonth-storage
law caused it.' But thl?law,
I fear, is only their excuse. Thla,
law Is like little Bobby.
"Little Bobby was the only son of
the Baptist minister in Peacham and,
when the circus came to town, the
Methodist minister called and said to
nis conieree:
" "My dear friend, I have long had a
curiosity to see a circus; but I have
hesitated, lest, you know, I cause my
brother to offend. There Is no harm,
however, In a child's presence at a circus,
provided he be suitably escorted.
Will you, therefore, lend me little Bobby
for this evening's performance?'
"But the Baptist minister frowned,
shook his head and answered:
"'No, sir; I will not! I have patiently
waited six years to visit the circus,
and tonight I propose to use him myself.'

Difference in Bon*s.?A wealthy man
well known for his extreme stinginess,
drove up hurriedly In his carriage to
the door of a celebrated doctor. He was
in a state of acute discomfort and fear,
from the simple fact that at the moment

somewhere In the region of his throat, 'i

"Half a guinea" replied the doctor.
"Half a guinea!" exclaimed the man.
"Fbr half a minute's work? Impossible!'
"But?consider for a moment," said ,
the doctor. "It's a salmon bone!" i
"What has that to do with It?"
"Oh, a great deal," replied the doc- ]

she asked:
"Were you ever blind, Mr. Evans?" \
"No. madam," was the reply.
"Did you marry a widow?" the wo- 1
man inquired. 1
"No, Indeed," he said.
There was silence again while the i
inquisitive woman tried to solve the 1
problem to her satisfaction. Falling to
do so she asked:
"Didn't I understand you to say, Mr.
Evans, that you had a wife and four
children in Chicago and had never seen
one of them?"
"Yes, that was what I said."
"How can it be that you never saw

Well??A certain man in this town
went to call at the office of a certain
other man in this town Friday. The
office boy told the caller that the boss
was out on important legal business,
and the caller went away. But the next
morning (we tell what we have heard)
the caller called again, relates the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Where's the boss?" he asked.
"Out on Important business," answered
the office boy.
"Look here, boy! I was here yesterday,
and you said the boss was out on
some legal business."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, I went and found him up
against the bar in the nearest saloon.
Is that what you call legal business?"
"Why ain't it? Is it illegal to get a
drink?"
Ths Count at Home.?"Yes," remarked
the returned tourist, with a reminiscent
smile, "I was continually bumping
into old friends ond acquaintances
while abroad. Went into a fashionable
barber shop In the Rue de Saint Gerard,
in Paris and whom do you suppose
I met there?"
"Oh, I'm no good at guessing." said
his friend, according to Judge. "Who
was it?"
"The Count de Pompadour, who cut
such a swell at Newport a year or sc
ago."
"Let's see?you and the count didn't
mix very well at Newport. Did he condescend
to speak to you?"
"He certainly did. The moment I entered
the tonsorial parlors, he caught
my eye and bowed and smiled and
said, 'Monsieur is next!"
She Got a Definition.?"Who can
give me the correct definition of the
word intense?" asked Miss Emma Garwood
a teacher in the Whiter school,
relates the Kansas City Star. Three or
four of the pupils gave different answers,
but none was correct.
"Surely some one can give that definition,"
Miss Garwood said, almost
ready to explain the term. A hand went
up from the rear and a little girl was
awarded permission to give her definition.
"Teacher, Indians live in tents." the
pupil replied. Only the teacher realized
the humor of the answer.

"The Visitor?" he remarked. "What

Dear Miss Russell:
I have been reading the letters: in
The Enquirer from the children of
different schools, but haven't seen
any from the children of Belview.
We have a nice time at school these
days. Miss Nolen is our teacher and
we have twenty-three pupils.
Tomorrow we are going to rake and
sweep our school yard,'' and want you
to visit us while it is clean.
Sometime ago we tried to make a
croquet ground but we have such a
rnueh nlavarround that it wouldn't do
for that.
We have a watercooler and individual
drinking cups for our school.
We want to have some exercises
at the close of school, and if we do,
you must be sure to visit us. then, too.
Yours sincerely,

Preparing Clay for tha Jug Factory
The man that works In the Catawba
jug factory gets his clay about a quarter
of a mile from Catawba Junction.
He has worked with the clay so much
that he knows whether It is suitable
or not without testing. But when he
tries a new kind, he tests It by burning
a smajl piece of it. He first soaks the
clay over night and then grinds It. It
Is next pressed to get the grit out of
It. Then It Is cut Into suitable pieces
for molding.

As 1 .ave read the other boys' and
girls' tetters, I thought I would write
too. I am going to school every day,
and like It fine. I am 9 years old and
am In the fourth grade. We have a
sand table In our school room and we
are going to make an Eskimo home on
It. Our teacher had a drawing of an
Eskimo hut on the blackboard. I
would not like to live where the Eskimo
lives, and live In a house of Ice and

to get in. Would you? Come to see

Dear Miss Russell:
As I have been reading some of the
other children's letters and enjoyed
them so much, I will write and teU you
about our visit to the Jug factory. It
is in sight of the school house. Our
teachers took all of the school children
up there one pretty day. The man was
at work when we went. He made a
Jug and some flower pots while we
were there so we could see how it
was done. We saw where the clay was
ground and the pots were burned. I
also enjoyed going in the kiln. It looks
very much 'like I imagine an Eskimo
hut louks. It is built of brick and red
olnv mnrtar and la lined with all col
ors that look like glass. The man told
us that it was melted sand and mortar
that had come out of the hrlck when
they got hot. He had flo?^fc pots of
all sizes packed In the dQk of the
kiln.
We have two teachers now. Miss
Daisy E. Phillips is mine. We all like
her so much. I am In the sixth grade.
You must come to see us real soon.

The Origin of the Woodp?cker's Red
Head.
(Original.)
Once upon a time there lived by the
black sea water a cruel magician. He
cared nothing for birds, and none sang
near him. He cared nothing for flowers
and none grew In his path. He had
a fatal breath which he blew east, west
north and south and killed men, women
and children.
A brave warrior made up his mind
to hunt this cruel magician and put
him to death. He got in his canoe and
sailed for the other side of the sea.
He spent many days on the black
water.
One day he spied a little dark, gloomy
wigwam. It was a very desolate looking
place and he knew it was the magician's
wigwam. He shot an arrow at
his door and as he did so he said,
"Come out of there, you old coward;
cvnf on/1 fltrKt ttrlfki ma ''
vuwic uui oiiu iigiit n 1111 iii^.
The magician laughed a scornful
laugh and said, "If I blow but one
breath you will fall dead." The warrior
shot another arrow at his door and
this one made him very angry. He
came out and blew his breath in every
direction but he could not hurt the
brave warrior. Then began the fiercest
battle the sun had ever seen. He
let his arrows fly in every direction until
aJl of his arrows were gone except
three. He said, "What shall I do? My
aim is good and my arrows are good
but I can't wound him."
Just then a little bird flew over his
head and said, "Brave warrior shoot at
his crest of feathers. You cannot
wound his heart for he has a magic
coat over him." So as the magician
was stooping to get a stone the warrior
let another arrow fly at his head. This
frightened him and he started to run,
but before he could get away another
arrow hit him. This one proved fatal.
He said. "My life is ended, my
heart is cold." Then the warrior said
to the little bird, "You have been a
friend to me and I am going to be a
friend to you."
He took some of the magician's blood
and rubbed it on the bird's crest of
feathers until it was as red as blood.
Then the little bird flew away proudly
and all of its descendants have been
proud of their red crest.

HOW TO U8E THE PARCEL POST
What You Can Sand, How You Car
Sand It and What It Will Coat.
It's too good to be true?that at last
the United States is in the postal class
with Canada, Qreat Britain, the countries
of Europe and of South America
the Republic of Panama, Formosa
Kowloon, Tripoli, the Isle of Crete, and
Jerusalem. The American people now
have the privilege of sending farm and
factory products, together with a)
mail matter not embraced by law ir
either the first, the second or the thirc
class not exceeding eleven pounds ir
weight and of limited bulk, by mai
from and to any point in the United
States or its possessions.
Parcels must be mailed at a postoffice,
branch postoffice, named or lettered
station, or such numbered stations
as may be designated by the postmaster,
or they may be delivered to ?
rural carrier or to other carriers dulj
authorized to receive such matter. Although
the act of congress does nol
11?.? Kin nnriF Ino tA otoi
bptx'lllciul^ ca kcuu uiio qti w ?m*i
routes, the postmaster-general has in>
eluded this branch' of the' postal service.
Parcels collected on star routei
must be deposited In the next post-offlee
at which the carrier arrives anc
postage charged at the rate from thai
office.
The cost of sending a parcel, depend:
upon two factors?the weight and th<
distance. Each postoffice in the United
States is the center of a series ol
circles or zones; the first zone Include:
territory within a radius of 50 miles;
the second, 150; the third, 300; the
fourth, 600; the fifth. 1,000; the sixth
1,400: the seventh. 1,800; .and the
eighth, all, territory more than 1,80(
miles.from the postoffice^ '
Up. to four ounces In weight a flat rat:
of one cent an ounce or fraction ii
charged, regariless of distance'.'' Parcels
weighing ;noje than four ounce:
and up to one pound must pay the
pound rate for the distance.
Within the first zone, It will be noted,
there are two rates?"local" and
"zone" rate. This requires explanation.
Parcels' may be sent any when
within the jurisdiction of a~sin?le postoffice,
Including the rural routes centering
therein, at the local rate. Foi
example, suppose you live on a rural
route. You may send butter to a customer
living In the city or town whlcb
your rural route is a feeder, or you
may send a Christmas present to s
relative who lives on another rural
route centering in the same postoffice
or to a point on your own rural route
at the "local" rate of five cents for th(
first pound and one cent for each additional
pound up to eleven. This rate
onnHon fn tho noroolfl whloh a
merchant or other cit? dweller may
send to the resident on a rural route
starting from the local postofllce, ci
to any point within the city delivery
service of the postofllce. The territory
covered by the "local" rate Is referred
to hereafter as "local delivery.
The "zone" rate applies to parcels
which do not get the local rate; that is
for service between two postofflces 01
between the rural route systems thereof?all
within the flrst or 60-mile zone
Here is the "cuter" in the psu*cel post
law if there is a joker. Rural routes
for the most psu*t center in towns and
villages?not in big cities like New
York and Chicago. Therefore, the farmer,
even though he lives within fifty
miles of the big city, cannot send his
produce at the local rate, because his
rural route is not a feeder for this city;
he must pay the zone rate.
First, the size: psu*cels within the
weight limit must not exceed seventytwo
Inches in combined length and
girth, and in mes^uring the length the
