FOUND OLD INDIAN VILLAGE Interesting Relics, Believed to BeCe* turiee Old, Recently Unearthed In New York 8t?te. IteliCS Of HI) IlldlAU Tillage. said have Its origin as early as 157 8. have Im ? n discovered iii Uiison 1 *o| lit, the Bronx, according ??? un MHWpptm^ made by the Museum of the American imiitiii. foundation. Tin discov ery wns made bjf Alan H. Skinner. ar choolnglst of .the foundation. The dls cowry I* regarded a* u very impor plan! oho by the member* of thy fonn itdtlon. Research establishes that the village was probably Inhabited by na tive* of the Slwanoy tribe, known to very early settler* as "Snakesklns." The research, made through the kindness of a trustee of the fouuda tlon. has established to the satisfac tion of the hoard that the tract re mained Id possession of Its Indian In habitants until 102ft, .when It was pur chased by Uobert Cornell, an Knglisb* n in n. Cornell's family was later inut* sacred by the barbarian tribe. During the attack he managed to make his escape on a Dutch ship, Mr. 8k!nner was making a pleasure trip through Clason Point, w^ileh la somewhat of a summer resort, last July. He noticed very large oyster shells on a mound of sand and recog nised them as Indian boundary line parkings. He obtained permission fyom tlu) owner of the land to moke a search of the ground. To the sup prise of the searchers, relics of Indian ^Ife were unearthed. Costumes, beads, cooking utensils and a complete hair dress of the Slwanoy tribe were dis covered. Seventy lodge sites, contain ing hundreds of Indian Implements and tools, 'were also dug up. The collection contained crude har poons. fishhooks, carved tortoise-shell cups, bodkins and decorated pottery. Hundreds of pipes and a beauti/ul mold Jar were discovered intact, and all are being preserved for public ex hibition when the museum opens. This history speaks of the Slwanoy practice of digging sand holes and pluclng large quantities of food and other of ? ferlngs to the "Great Snake." It w^s announced at the museum that the relics will be placed on exhibition at the opeulng of tlje exhibit. Opportunity Missed. For several years It had been my custom to make a visit on Thanks-, giving afternoon at the home of my most particular friend. This last Thanksgiving I missed, as the family was to attend the. community singing at 4 p. in. A frw dWys after little Catherine dropped In to see me^jnd asked "Why didn't you come to see us on Thanksgiving?" "Well," I replied, "you were not vat home In the afternoon." " 8he then asked: "Why didn't yon come' earlier? ^Why not come for din ner?" ? ( "But," I Jokingly replied, "you didn't ask mel" . "Well," she replied thoughtfully, "I think if you had come early and hung abound they'd have asked you 1" ? Chi cago Tribune. , Awaiting Instructions. 1 In a letter received from a cousin of mine, who Is a lieutenant In the aviation service, he tells of the follow ing incident that happened co a cadet flyer at Kelly field: The ondct was making- his flrsfsolo flight and had j been flying around the towers where the instructors sit andN observe the movements of the solo flyers, when he I was seen throwing something out of j his plane. He had thrown his shoe out with a note tied to It saying that his "gnn'^or gas throttle was jammed, and he didn't know what to do. He flew around the towers ten times be fore he realized that he had a mag neto switch on his plane that would shut off the ignition and thus stop the engine. He finally landed with a dandy "thump." ? Chicago Tribun^. Conscience. It Was plain to be seen that Arthur, eight years old. had something on his. mind. It was something that con cerned Christmns and his neighbor, Jimmy. Finally he said to his mother: "I guess I'll give Jimmy-, his knife for Christmas." "Have you Jimmy's knife?" the mother Inquired. "Yes. I found It a long time ago. He thinks It's lost. Rut flndln's keep In's, you know." The mother made no comment, for she knew something else was coming., And then her son said: "I might as well give It to him. X can't use It fcause he's with me all the time." Wheat Production. Mean wheat production per acre In the 15 years, 1890-1913, was 42.5 bush els In Denmark. 35.4 bushels In Ire land, 35.1 bushels In Belgium, 31.5 bushels In Great Britain, 29.7 bushels In Germany, 20.2 bushels In France, 19.1 bushels In Austria, 18.1 bushels In Hungary, 10.7 bushels in Roumiinla, and 14.1 bushels in the United Statea. Bushels of measure are taken for Den mark, France, Great Britain, Ireland and Roumanla ; of 00 pounds for tha other countries. Family Prayer*. Nursle ?

Pie Is not among the article treated of In works on materia iimmIIoh. imt a recent Incident show* that It may have therapeutic value. In a hospital lay nn American Mallor, for whom ev erything had litvn done by surgeons, doctors and nurses. and yet something was Incklng. He was homesick ; his mind was ever sway In a little At lantic coast town. One day, lf? the midst of his hodUy pain and aoul-suf ferlng, there flashed upon him the ob ject of his quest, and he murmured excitedly: "Oh, If I could only have a piece of mince pie." It was not that he wanted to eat a piece of pie. for he was too 111 for that. His hunger was for what the pie represented. An American nurse who heard the wish managed, with some difficulty, to find all the Ingredients for a real New Kngland pie. When she took It to him she put with It s bit of cheese, also hard to procure In these times, eo that nothing would he lacking, and In the cheese ale planted a miniature 8 tars and Btrtpes. The poor boy could eat nelthet* the pie nor the cheese, ?hut they contributed Just the home touch needed to 'Improve his condition. When the wife of the American consul general vlstted him later she remarked upon the Improve ment In Ills condition, and he said: "Two days ago I was In such misery that I could have welcomed death. Now I feel that America Is not so far sway as I thought and that I have got to hnng on." GENERAL BELIEF IN HONESTY Something Very Like the Mllennium ' Seems to Bo Near In Qreat British Metropolis. How Is the sudden trust Londoner* have come to exhibit for each other to be accounted for? There Is nn ex t rein e shortage of copper* colnsfor small change In London, and one man says 9 f his experiences: "On several occasions lately news vendors who have been unable to change silver have said to me, 'Never mind, pay me the next time you are thin way.' Only one of them knew me as a regular cus tomer. Kven more unexpected credit than;thls was offered me at a railway booking office where I tendered a shill ing for a two-p(?nn.v fare. 'I'm short of coppprs.' said the girl hooking clerk, ?pay me tomorrow.' 'Hut I shall not be here tomorrow,' I replied. 'Then pay me the next time you are here, when ever It Is.' she said. 'But supposing I forget.' I expostulated. "Oh, 1 know that you will conic* and pay me soVne day, slit* answered. 'I've never known people fall.' " Similar testimony Is of fered by others, who tell of copper credit thrust upon them by Grangers, and often very poor and, humble stran gers.-^-Lnndon Mall. Clearing Up After War. On the banks of the Thfunes, less than twenty miles from London, there in an American town of the mush room kind such as you might find In a new California oil field. ~~fts popu lation consists of morq^than. 20^ white men and about 150 negroes. It covers twenty-five acres which nine months ago were fallow grass land. The business of the town Is^ to re ceive, sort and store wnr material. There Is a street of wooden huta, an other of corrugated Iron huts, huge Iron store sheds a quarter of a mile long, office buildings, water supply and electric lights, the whole sur rounded by a hedge, a few armed sen tries and much mud. All day long the khaki-clad negroes push and haul railway trucks full or war material. War Material coming back from Russia Is being stored at this camp, also the fittings of the dismantled hos pitals which the American army es tablished in England. Warmth Increases Oil Flow. . An electrical method of ' carrying warmth to the bottom of oil wells has been found In many cases greatly to In crease the flow of oil. The heating process, says Popular Mechanics Maga zine, decreases the viscidity of the oil, Usually occasioned by the admission of air to the well and the cooling of the rock bed. Minute crevices and capil lary channels which afford easy pass age to warm, thin oil become quite Im passable If the oil gums. The electric heating method not .only thins the oil but often generates g&s whose pressure helps the oil to the surface. The sys tem found military *se In the aban doned oil fields of Roumanla and Gallcla. j What's In a Name? .1 ? . ? Most readers are familiar with the story of the German bank in a United States city which, finding Its name un popular, changed It to the ".Sherman bank." Here Is another example on the same lines: A popular New York city German restaurant was called the Kloster Glocke (Cloister Bell), and Its front was decorated with a large bell as sign. The name has been changed to the "Liberty Bell," and the bell of the olf! monastery now does duty as a replica of the one which rang out Independence to the colonies. Doubts Mechanical Skill. A "prominent business man" has offered $50,000 for the privilege of being carried as mechanic on the first transatlantic flight made In an alr plane. If this offer is accepted. It Is tc be hoped /that his mechanical ability equals his enthusiasm. ? SprlQg fleld Republican.

BrUfht Williamson, a promiueut bank er and (annor of Darlington, mid John If, N?piap? (Bounty agent of Darllugtou County found trouble with potash in that county recently and rejwrted .the matter to Cleiution College. Prof. 0. P. ItlackwcM, ag nonomlst, and J. L.

The throe studied the sit uation in tho fields of Darlington, Flor ence and Dillon (Vuutieo. >. , They agreed that the vwf orrotic mum havo caused poor crop conditions in purts of Florence County which some ( ha vo erroneously attributed to potash. In I)arllu?tou County, however, where trona potash from Searl I>ako, ('alitor nia, purchased through ,a OharlentoU broker, was used, very serious iu juries wore observed on a number of farm*.

Any advantages it^ might possess are offset by the tact that it is a stranger on its own roads. It rides the ridges, which causes broken axles, wheels and other parts, and the tongue whips about which is hard on the team. ? o The justly famous Weber wagon is built only ih 56" auto-track because thi6 ia the standard approved tread of automobiles ? and the Automobile . makes the ruts in muflror soft roads. If the farm wagon is not made to follow die same path it is out of date for road service. Automobiles are increasing among farmers because they are a time-saving necessity, and every farmer who hasn't an automobile intends to procure one at the earliest opportunity* The Weber 56" auto-track wagon will do everything that the old 60" wagon would do. It will haul cotton bales as easily as the wide track wagon and the team can draw the load without having to pull every inch of the yijr. ^ It lends teelf just as readily to all kinds of farm work and in addition it fits ' the prevailing road tracks. Besides the auto-track feature the new Weber has the patented Fifth Wheel and the " Safety First" Swivel Reach Coupling ? two advantages that are worth $20 apiece to the user during the life of the wagon. Bv all means see our Weber wagons before you buy. We can offer you something that will aave you money and give you service. ? Rhame Brothers, Camden, S.
