It's a hard-hearted judge thai would fine a woman for wearing z very thin dress this sort of weather If the progress of the present campaign has shown anything so far it has shown that the voters generall} are tired of strife and factionalism. There is one State office? we certainly sympathize with and that is Adjutant General W. W. Moore. He has worked faithfully to build up thf militia of the State, but has worl^jc under great disadvantages. We will never have an efficient body of State troops until sufficient appropriation is made for expenses. l?roH Wannnmflkpr. of the iJUHUi 1 1 W ?? 7 Orangeburg Sun, says he has beer accused of being a partisan in this campaign. Well, if he is a partisan it is an honor to be one, and we oughl to have more of them. If there is one fair and square newspaper mac that we know of, Fred is one, yet he is positive in his convictions. * J The friends of Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin are pleased that he decided / to 6tay out of politics this year. A man of brains and courage he is, yel he has been one of the most misunderstood men that has ever been ir public life. Yet he has always labored more for the benefit of the people than for personal aggrandizement 01 political preferment. All the candidates for governoi \ stress the importance of better enforcement of the laws and educational advancement. While some oppose compulsory education, ptill they ad vocate Detter eaueauousi auvauiagci for the pooi' white children of th State.

Kindness Shown a Gosling Gainec Man a Constant Friend. One day a lad saw a young gosling struggling in the grasp of a huge rat It made a vigorous resistance, but b} the time the lad came to the rescue it was so severely bitten that it musi have soon become its antagonist's victim. The youth continued his care over it until it recovered from its in juries, dressing its wounds every day During his attendance on it a friend ship sprang up between them, anc the gosling might be seen limping after him everywhere. The boy de parted for school, and on his returr home at holiday time was joyfully recognized by the goose, which show ed its joy as plainly as a dog, and at tached itself to him as before. He became a man and the gosling a goose, but neither them outliv ed their regard for each other. Th( ~ grateful bird deserted her featherec companions as soon as her friend vis ited his home, and followed him as before, and when the young man was seized with illness the poor bird be came restless and pining as thougl she knew something was wrong. Guid ed by some wonderful instinct, sin made her way to his room, a cornei of which she had occupied during tin time he had tended her wounds ir his boyhood, and when she heard his voice she crept under the bed anc established herself there.?H.

BIGGEST BIRD THAT EVER LIVED Lived Two and a Half Million Years \\ Ago. During the summer of 1913, while engaged in describing and photo- ti: graphing the specimens representing th the fossil remains of vertebrates in a the extensive collections belonging nc to the American Museum of Natural w History, the L'nited States National it: A* ~ ,1 + u ~ ~u^ lUUbeuui ctiiu ti ic rtrauuuv .viuocuui, of Yale University, I met with the cc fragments of the lower lon^leg bones ri< that belonged to an extinct bird of h enormous size. They were complete- a Iv fossilized, and had been discover- ar ed by a member of the expedition of ci 1912, sent out by the American Muse- tli um of Natural History in the Wasatch of Wyoming. Geologists are w pretty well agreed that this particu- th lar region is some 2.500,000 years th old. to These fossil remains consisted of J0 two immense toe joints and parts of hc the trochleae of the tarso-metatarsus of an adult individual. The tarso- se metatarsus in a bird's leg is the last ^ of the three of the long bones of that limb; the trochleae are those pro- 1)1 jections at its distal end which articu- sC late with the toe bones. This was all that had been found a? of. a bird giant which had flourished a? over 2,500,000 years ago in the central region of this country. It was not all that we knew about it, how- ]s ever; for, many years ago, the late Prof. Cope had described, in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Science, of Philadelphia ( 1876, II) gl / t p and subsequently in the report of,the eT United Stats Geographical Survey West of the 100th Meridian (Vol IV, t p 70.) the fossil remains of a bird of S3 gigantic proportions, of which he said that "this species was of large size, ^ the proximal end of the tarso-metatarsai being nearly twice the d'iame- gc QC ter of that of the ostrich. Its discovery introduced this group of birds ^ to the known fauna of North Ameri- s. 0C ca, recent and extinct, and demonsf 3 trates that this continent has not been destitute of the gigantic forms ^ of birds now confined to the Southsv ern Hemisphere fauna." This distinguished paleontologist named this te long-extinct species Diatryma gigan31 tea, and considered it to be quite dis- ^ tinct from any of the exisisting true ostriches. h( We know that an old male African or ostrich will grow to be at least eight ar feet tall, and Cope surmised, in his description of Diatryma gigantea, m that it was the bird twice the size of gT an adult ostrich?in other words, it w may have attained a height of some er 15 or 16 feet, or about three times, the height of an ordinary man. pj It would seem to have belonged bi somewhere in the group of great Iaoc? Kir/^o Ti'itVi* lr1 ^7.1 efnrniime 1 w Liiguti^oo uziuo n x oi^iuumo XIV known as the Ratitae, or in the Sup- so ersuborder Dromoegnathe of my own at classification of birds. Doubtless it fix was ostrich like in appearance, while to not directly allied to that genus, or lij still less to the moas of the New B< Zealand group of islands, of which be there were some 20 species, now all to extinct; of these Dinornis maximus of was, without douba, a bird that fo ?rew to be at least 12 feet tall, or B< four feet taller than the tallest of te existing ostriches (Newton.) . he Upon comparing the fossil remains Df this extinct bird of ponderous pro- to portions, belonging to the American be Museum of Natural Histqry, with nc those of Cope's Diatryma glgantea, I ni AM AM ir?A/l ill A fo/>f f liof 1 t tO A L UULt ictuguiicu nxu laut iiiai, *?,, too, belonged in the same genus, or ci the genus Diatryma, and I have since J? bestowed upon it the name Diatryma t?c ajax. Upon measuring the bones and a fragments of bones representing it. st it was apparent that these were from a form considerably larger than WJ Cope's D. gigantea, and could such a <*? thing ever have happened as to have n an old male African ostrich stand be- c* side a full-grown individual of this extinct, gigantic bird of the Eocene of ^' Wyoming the former would have ap- er peared, by way of comparison, a veritable pygmy in its proportions. p? In order to appreciate the probable size of Diatryma ajax I have e(^ made a drawing for the purpose. The accompanying illustration is based ^ on that drawing. The representation of D. ajax ^ere shown is intended merely to give its te size and height as compared with an Wl ostrich and a man, and in no way intends to be a restoration of this spe- m cies; for, up to the present time, we have not the required fossil bones of ll either D. gigantea or D. ajax to give "f ov.1, i^Qo q c + n tlio fftrmc tViov h U.O CLklJ 1UV.U ttO wu ViiV ^ A iiiu. mv/j iiuu. The illustration is merely a general- ^ ized ostrich form to give the reader te an idea as to how it would have tow- 1)2 ered above any one of us or above an x%l ostrich. As here represented, D. ajax would have been a bird about twenty feet in heightli, but if the ~ shafts of the long bones of the leg 1*1 were fashioned as they are in an os- m trich and not as in a moa, it "could easily have been a much taller bird ar than that?th&t is, it could have at- t*1 tained a height of between twenty- la five and thirty feet. ta Diatryma ajax, the extinct ostrich- ? ? . / r OLD TIME TEACHERS. rere Failures Unless They Could Lick Pupils. "When I was a boy," said the old mer. "was considered necessary at a boy get a licking at least once month when he was at home and >t less than once a week when he as at school," says the Topeka Capal. "Teachers were hired more on aciunt of beef and muscle they cared around than on account of what ) knew. The teacher who built up reputation for being able to lick ly boy up to the age of 21 had a nch on getting a job teaching in e winter. "There were several young fellows no anenaea scnuoi ever) wimci um ey were 21. and it was the common .ing to give the teacher a whirl just > see if he was man enough for the b. If he came out second best he id to give up the school, but if he eaned out the bunch that generally sttled it. and he had no more troue after that. "Some of the young men were as g as the average sized teacher and imetimes bigger. Then they were >ed to out-door work and were stout i young bulls. The teacher was up rainst a hard proposition but he id one thing in his favor. If the g boys double-teamed on him, that , came on more than one at a time, i had the right, under the code that jverned such cases, to use a club. "One winter I went to a sort of aaed school. There were three achers, including the superintendlt. He didn't have to do much (aching. His principal business as to do the licking, and I never .w a man who seemed to me to like s job better than he did his. He id the finest asortment of seasoned i rid T pvpr saw. and for esnecially jgravated cases he had a rawhide hip that was a holy terror. He ood about six feet two and weighi about 220 pounds, and he wasn't t at t-hat. I think he could lift >out half a ton and when he made e boy strip off his 'wammus' and rung that whip he could make the outest heart howl. The other achers were rather good hearted id didn't care to see the scholars ;at up, but if they didn't send about i many up for lickings each week j complained that they were loafing 1 their jobs and didn't amount to x lything as instructors. "Nearly every boy in the school ade a solemn vow that when he ew up he would lick that principal ithin an inch of his life, but I nev1 heard of one them doing it. heard of one boy who did keep his edge far enough to undertake it, it he regretted it afterward. "He was about 16 when he got the ;king that burned into his soul, ali into his hide. The principal had t extra grouch on that day and the st gratifying thing that happened him was the sending of' Bob Wilims up for punishment. He made 3b take off his 'wammus'?all the >ys wore 'wammuses'?and then he ^? +V?/-k TViO TY"1 Q T*lr C U tv UU*? II LUC I a ? Uluc. l uv uiuinu that licking lasted on Bob's back r two weeks. Right then and there Db .registered-his vow to lick that acher. He waited five years till j was 21, and then took some boxg lessons from a man who claimed have been a prize fighter.* Then i hunted up his teacher who was )t teaching that year. He was runng a farm. Bob sort of figured begin with that maybe the prinpat was growing old and stiff in the ints, anyway he hadn't trained in xing. Bob discovered he had made miscalculation about his former inructor being muscle-bound. "When the fight was over Bob as worse used up than he was that iv five years before. But he wast altogether discouraged. He deded to wait five years more and en try it again. He waited the five :ars and hunted up the school teachagain, but there wasn't any evi;nce of declining strength on his Lrt. He was about 45 years old - that time, but the way he black[ both of Bob's eyes, mashed his )se and battered him up was very scouraging to Bob. "Bob never tried it again. Twentyre years after that' I saw the old acher. He was 70 years old and ell preserved, but he had changed s ideas about school discipline. He arried a schoolma'm when lie was >9ut 50. They raised a family and i told me that if any teacher would sat one of his boys the way ) used to beat up the boys when he as a teacher, he would have the acher prosecuted for assault# and ittery, and if that didn't' work he ould go after him with a shotgun."
