EDUCATIOIN/M-TKJP OF GREAT VALUE ??-j. Seaboard Air Line Railway Will Con duct a Party Through the States of the West. Traveling Is being looked upon more and more each year as an edu cator from an educating point of view nnd a general broadening of the human mind. People that spend their lives in one community are as a gen eral rule, narrow and have no thought beyond their own community. The traveler you will find not only broad-minded but interesting, and the i contact with people of other sections i of the country, the familiarity with their modes of living; their commer cial life and their social and farm life makes him an asset to the community. To the business man traveling means new Ideas and Improved methods. The farmer in traveling, will always see something that will give him new thought and new Ideas which, on his return home, can be put to valuable use, the teacher and pupil are. like wise greatly benefltted.

Will Carter, a young white boy about IT years of nge, lies dangerously wounded a his home in Langley, and another young wlllto boy. about 10 years of ?^<\ is in jail, charged with the shooting. From Information thai could be gathered this morning it seems that Walter CoWOUS and Will Carter were in love with the snmn yoifng lady, who was about their nge, or younger, and that Cowons, taking exception to the attention being paid her by Will Carter, shot Carter in the back and side. Cowons boards at a home in Burnett town, and it was ;it this lions ? that c.nter was calling. He started there ia.-t lllght, and about S O'clock opened the gate and started in. Cow ons seeing him coming, picked up a shotgun and fired hi Carter. Th ? load took effeCf In tllO side and back. Carter was only about toil yards from Cowons when tho shot was fired, and the wound is a very serious one. I.a. t night the W?tlhded buy was resting Well as could be expect,id, Cowons fled, hut was located in Path by Rural Policeman Unshoe and brought to Alken and lodged In jail. COWOUS In Jail here today was in terviewed by The News and Courier correspondent. Ho says that Carter bad been threatening him for the past few days, and that on Tuesday night had made threats at him as If to draw his pistol: that ho saw him coming into the house Inst night, and that he picked up his gun and fired at him. Ho says he shot Carter in the back, just he was latching thO gate. He al so said that Carter was mad with him 1 about a young lady. Do you know (hat croup can be pre vented?

' HE HAD A THOUGHT "If there's anything a man dislikes," ?aid young Bailey Yarger, "it is artlfi elallty in a -woman! What he likes te a whole-souled honesty in looks aa well as in manners! Tou can always tell the real thing!" "Of course," agreed Winnie Hill ad miringly. Winnie alwayB made a hit by her promptness in agreeing with masculine opinions as ladled out by the men themselves. She was very pretty ?after a rich and brilliant fashion? and she and young Bailey Yarger wer? engaged to bo married. "Thnt'n what first attracted me to you," Yarger went on, admiringly. "A fellow can't help but admire genuine ness when ho meets it." "Three of my puffs are Just pinned on," Wlnnlo reminded him, virtuously. She looked pathetic as she sold it and he patted her Bhoulder encourag ingly. "Oh, well," he reassured her, "il that's tho style In halrdessing you're not to blame! You Just do aa others do and it's no fault of yours! What 1 can't understand Is why women think they fool any one! A blind man can detect a drug-store complexion a block away, and as for tho ruby hair or the glittering golden lockB they turn out while you wait?If you've got the price ?well, all I've got to say Is If a wife of mine made such a goose df herBelf J don't believe I ever could think the same of her again!" "Of course not," agreed Winnie Hill. "Y'ou've got too much senso!" "They can't fool me!" sold Yarger, grimly. "I've got my eyes open as much as tho next one, haven't I, little girl?" "You're terribly smart." Winnie mur mured, still admiringly. "I always won der, when I stop to think about It, what you ever saw In mo to make you fall In love with me!" "I couldn't help doing It," explained Yarger, fondly. "I guesB you're as smart as I am any day of tho week when It comcB to that! And did you ever look In the glass?" "I don't like to be flattered," Winnie reminded him. pouting In tho manner which means that a woman likes It very much. Indeed. "I don't like to think It's Just my looks? "It Isn't," protested Yarger. "I'm not saying that they don't help! It's kind of nice to have tho girl you fall In love with a mighty good looker, be sides being everything else that's nice. And your face is real!" "You'll make mo vain In a minute," Wlnnlo said, sweetly. She regarded him seriously with pensive brown eyea. ''I ffhe?? women llko men," she added, irrelevantly, "because they're bo child like! Tho nicer they aro the more Ju venile they seem to be!" "How old am I then?" Yarger In quired. "Oh," Winnie told him, meditatively, with her head on one side, "you're about 2>2. I think!" For some days afterward Miss Hill appeared thoughtful, Something seem ed to have dampened her spirits. Yar ger wondered about It helplessly. One night when he called to take her to the theater ho observed as she de scended the stairs that she seemed ac tually solemn. "Don't you feel well?" he Inquired so licitously as she talked over toward tie- mantel mirror. Sin- made no answer, but opened her silver mesh bag and with deliberation extracted several articles which she carefully laid on the mantel shelf. Loaning forward, she proceeded to do something at which Yarger. watching her. gasped. Winnie looked around with the eye brow pencil In her lingers. "You see," 1 she said casually, "my eyebrows grow BO very dark and thick at tho start and then dwindle out to nothing from the middle to the other end that I have to1 help thorn out. Otherwise I'd look like a freak. There bow's that?" Apparently she did not observe bis Btupeflcd silence. She went on with her work. "I've such a lot of color as 1 a usual thing," she murmured, "that If I happen to be a llttld pale I look dreadful and then I dab it on gently! It s a new kind and really It doesn't show! When I have a cold in tin bead, as I have tonight, I always look washed out. And" Miss Hill turned and faced Yarg or dellantly -"and I loath may hair! When mine boglns to turn I'm going to dyo it if it takes the last cent in the family treasury! If you can't detect It any more readily than you've detected my occasional rouge and my poor little eyebrow pen cil I don't see that it'll do any hurt, so there, now! "It -It was your chlldllko trust that made me tell you, Bailey! I couldn't bear to go on deceiving you! And now I ?If you can't love me any moro wh'wh why, Just s-? say so!" Yanger recovered himself. "You may paint yourself purple, groon and blue if you want to Wlnnlo!" ho said, hero ically. "Somehow my affection doesn't seem blighted a partlclo! I guess It makes n difference who tho girl hap pens to bo! But to think I never no ticed !" "That," said Winnie, putting away her handkerchief, "Is because you aro a man, you darling!" An Incorrigible. "When I started In life I hadn't nearly your advantages," said tho father. "Quito true." replied tho gilded youth. "But you shouldn't reproach mo for that. Si>oakjto grandfather."
