An ontimist is a fellow who loans
a guy $10 when said fcuy already
owes him $20.
Some of the candidates are of the
opinion that there are a helluva
lot of liars in Barnwell County.
If some men would only put as
much “pep” in their worji as they do
their cussin’ there would be more
rich folks.
About the time a fellow in politics
thinks he’s a “bijr »fun,” the “deer
peepul” come alonir at election time
and fire him.

After a winter’s Illness I was recu
perating among the hills of Vermont.
It was the month of April. My friend,
Nettle Perkins, and I were out watch
ing ad Ice Jam on the Connecticut,
wandering down the river bank as far
as the railroad bridge. Here the huge
jam had piled about the piers until
there was only a narrow channel left
through which the swollen current
swirled and seethed In a manner that
fascinated while It appalled.
As I stood there spellbound by the
scene before me—alt other sound
deadened by the crash and boom of
the great cakea as they packed and
settled—Nettle shouted In my ear:
“Let’s cross to the other side and
call on Miss Martha Race.”
“And who may Miss Martha Race
be?” I asked half-heartedly, for 1 was
loath to go calling on a glorious spring
morning, with so much attraction out
of doors.
“Oh, she is a dear old soul who had
a romance In her youth and has lived
alone In the old home ever since. She
amuses herself by Indulging in fads.
Painting portraits is her latest one.
See. tha( la her house, the last of
those three," indicating with n wave
of her hand three lar^e colonial honsea
on the opjK«slte aide of the river.
Of course Mias Perkins had her way.
and after consulting the watchman of
the bridge concerning trains, we
rroaaed and rUmhe«| the hank to the
"House of Martha.** We entered the
'44 fmtiloned garden at the rear and
picked our way over little petrbee of
mow through wblrh dead afelka of
holly berk and daklUs appeared In a
tangled ataaa.

LONG BRkNTR ITEMS
A rustle of soft silk and murmur of
young voices mingled with laughter
comes out of the stillness. The rooms
are thronging with a gay party. Liv
eried servants stand at attention In
the halls and doorways. Low car
riages drawn hy glossy-coated steed*
are taking the guests to the white
Church at the far end of the plain. I
search the moving throng for a fa
miliar face, or someone to tell me the
meaning of it nil. Six young girls, all
dressed alike, laughingly trip down
the stairs and are ushered to the wait
ing carriages.
At last the mystery is solved! It
Is a wedding, and “here comes the
bride.” *Tis Martha Race, her mist-
like veil floating about her. The .bloom
of youth Is-on her cheeks. The light
of love Is shining In Ijer soft gray
eyes. Awaiting her in the hall below
Is the bridegroom, the original of the
picture over the mantel.
The scene changes. I am In the
church. A fluttering among the guests
tells me the bridal party is arriving,
llie wedding march IS sounding and
the bridesmaids are advancing. Hut
how slowly! Will the bride ever
reach the chancel! And where Is the
bridegroom, who should be awaiting
her? Suddenly the labored march

eighty years reminded one of a deli

to an expression of quiet resignation.

My old timer up to Alaska, prospect
ing, also makes me happy once in a
while with some tirst-haud natural his
tory. according to the writer of “Out
of Doors” in the Saturday Evening
Post. He says: “I have seen an ar
ticle 'about animals—say, dogs and
bears—having reasoning power. That
is nothing new to me. for I have had
plenty of time to study dogs, and if
they can’t reason they ought to be
killed, for they are worthless. I have
tavo sledge dogs, half-wolf, and it Is
wonderful what they will do. I have
seen my lender locate a trail with six
feet of snow drifted over it, and do
many other tilings that would make an
ordinary man guess. I have traveled
”800 miles over my trap lines in the
last winter and have never seen them
pass n trap or a snare yet. They al
ways know where the next set is—
and find it, although it W-buId be - lost
if they would go a few feet farther
down the |,rall. As to bdars, they will
find the weakest place in the cache
quicker than a man would—they al
ways find the easiest place to break
in. 1 find it also very interesting to
watch my foxes.’’ -■
