FULTON COUNTY NEWS. SINCE WE GOT THE MORTGAGE PAID. We've done a lot of scrimpln' an' liv In' hand to mouth, ' Wc'vo dreaded, too, wot weather, an' we've worried over drouth. For the thlnjf kept drawln' Int'rost, whether crops were Rood or bad, An' raisin' much or little, Hcemod It swallowed all we had. The women folks were savin' an' there ain't a bit of doubt Kut the things they really needed lots of times they done without, So we're breathin' somewhat easy, an we're foelin' less afraid Of Trovldenee's workln's since we got the mortgage paid. I wish I'd kep't a record of the things that mortgage ate, In principal an' In'trust, from begin ning down to date ! A hundred do.en chickens, likely fowls with yellow legs, A thousand pounds of butter, an' twelve hundred do.en eggs, Some four or five good wheat crops nn, at least one crop of corn, An' oats and rye it swallowed in It's lifetime, sure' you're born. Upsides the work an' worry ere its ap petite was stayed ; So we're feelin' more contented since we got the mortgage paid. We've reached the point, I reckon, where we have got a right to rest, An' loalin' aroun' an' visit, wear our go-to-meetin' best Negloctin' nothin' urgent, understand, about the place, Hut simply slowin' down by bits an' rcst in' in the race ! In time I'll get the windmill I've been wantln', I suppose; The girls can have their organ, an' we'll all wear better clothes, For we've always pulled together, while we have saved an' scrimped and prayed, An' it seems there's more to work for since we got the mortgage paid.

It isn't always the bad cigar that is foiled. Even a civil engineer may be gruff in his manners. If silence is golden money must talk in silver tones. Don't think every man has a gold brick to sell you. Whatever else may be said of the maid, she's tidy, The moth and the camphor ball are getting real cheesy.

Hope is not much good unless it is backed up by a hustle. Never bet on a sure thing unless' you get the right sort of odds. The automobile seems proving its right to the title of demon. Every girl travels under an assumed name after she is married. Great poets are not only born, but most ot them are also dead. Life is a lizzie to the young man be hind the soda water counter. Autoinobiling may be a fine sport, if you are able to pay the fines. All is fair in love and war, until you strike up against a brunette. It doesn't take three strikes to de clare the textile workers out. Should the electricians strike would the lights go out in sympathy V If you would be popular, don't tell the truth unless it is necessary. The lawn mower doesn't cut any ice, but it gets there, just the same. There is always room at the top of the box for the big strawberries. Some women are so unconventional that they never attend conventions. A sott ansSwor may turn away wrath but it is different with a book agent. Some men should employ night watchmen to guard their reputations. Some men who tip the scales at 200 pounds refuse to tip the waiter a dime.

One day when little Klsio came home from school her mother asked her what she had learned that day. Klsle replied; "I learned to spell man." "Tell me how you spell ltdear,"said mamma. , "M-a-n, man," replied Elsie. "And how do you spell boy?" "You spell it the same way, only with smaller letters," replied Klsle aft er a moment's thought. KNOWING YOUR BIBLE. The good old custom of "learning by heart" has fallen out of use in our families and Sunday school, and pas sages of the Bible are no longer mem orized by the rising generation. Hut we should at least be able to find a passage even if we cannot recite It. Here is a list of passages whose loca tions should lie familiar to every Christian. The Lord's Prayer Matthew . The Commandments -Ex. 20. The Beatitudes Matthew 5. Paul's conversion Acts 0. Christ's great prayer Jonn 17. The prodigal son Luke 15. The ten virgins Matthew 2". Parable of the talents Matthew 25.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle told at the literary dinner recently given to him in London of his experience as a jur or in his youth "I once served on a jury out of cu riosity," he said, "and what most im pressed me in that business wus the high-handed manner of the cross-examination. There was one witness, though, a dentist, whom no browbeat ing cross-examiner could disturb. "This dentist was being questioned about a certain woman. ' 'Did you ever have any difference with the lady?' the opposing lawyer asked. "No, sir" replied the dentist. " 'Now, attend. Didn't you make her a set of teeth once?' "Yes, sir.' " 'Didn't she return them?' " 'No, sir ' "The lawyer glared. Then he re sumed: ' 'But you admit, don't you, that later on she had another set mude by another dentist?' " 'Oh, yes, I admit that,' said the witness. " 'Ah! You admit that. And the la dy Is wearing that other set now, is she not?' " 'Yes, she is wearing it.' " 'And she has discarded your set?' " 'No. " 'What? Do you mean to tell me she Is wearing both sets at tho same time?' "'Yes, I do.' " 'Pooli! Nonsense! How can that possibly lie?' " 'Why, one is a lower and the oth er is an upper set,' said the den tist." MEXICAN ETIQUETTE. Ladies do not attend funerals. Children kiss the hands of their pa rents, The hostess is served first at a Mex ican table. The bridegroom purchases his bride's trousseau. Female friends kiss on both cheeks when greeting or taking leave. The sofa is the seat of honor and a guest waits to be invited to occupy it. Men and women in the same social circles call each other by their first names. When a Mexican speaks to you of his home he refers to it as "your house." When you move into a new locality it Is your duty to make the first neigh borhood calls. ' ' When friends pass each other on the street without stopping they say 'adl- on' (goodby.) Cards are sent to friends upon the anniversary of their saints' day and upon New Year's day. Even the younger children of the family are dressed In mourning upon the death of a relative. - Dinner calls are not customary, but upon rising from' the table the guest thanks his host for the entertain ment. ' Gentlemen tip their hats to each oth er or at least salute In passing, and shake hands both at meeting and part ing, though the interview may have lasted oujy two minutes, Modern Me ico. ' WHY THIS COW WAS SICK. .I.icob Kinder of iicnr Miriill" tow ti, hail a cow which was sick for several days and did not oat. Sho was examined for tlio vari oim diseases known in tlie cow kingdom, such as wolf, hollow horn and poison, but soon found sho was freo from any of tho symptoms which follow such dis eases. Then her pulso was ex amined and found to he all right. Finally tho mouth va. i;pir,cd and there they soon found ilm cause of the trouble. The entire mouth was full of ulcers, and ono of the men called for a pair of pinchers. They thought he in tended pulling the tongue out of the cow s mouth ; but instead of doing that he pulled out a darn ing needle which was about six inches long and which had pene trated entirely through the tongue, extending to the back and lower part of the mouth. The crowd which stood by were amazed and said, "No wonder the cow was sick." There was a similar occurrence some years ago, as reported by a Mr. Vance, who says that he once bought a heiler that had a lump on the side of its jaw and looked very sick. He bought it for eight dollars and took it home. Soon after he examined tho mouth and found that a nail had been forced into the jaw by the side of one tooth, which caused all the trou ble. Afterwards he soid the heif er for fifty dollars. A8 TO THE HAIR. The girl with the high forehead should wear her hair down low over her brow. If she has a low, smooth, white brow, she should brush her hair well off tho forehead. A madonna face may affect the part in tho middle. The girl with an intellectual brow or a fair share of youthful beauty can afford to draw her hair .'"back in loose waves, sans pompadour or parts and on the neck. For elderly lady matrons the pompadour is dignified and state ly, and it seems to increase the height of stout women. Tho round, shapely head looks well with a soft puff of hair at tlie nape of the neck. Every womau should study her own style. If she looks best with her hair low, then low she should wear it, though every other wo man in the land is piling her hair on the top of her head . A wise woman never curls or frizzes or over-dresses her hair. NOT SO BADLY SAID. Farming is no longer the occu pation of tho mere toiler. It de mands the trained brain as well as the strong body, knowledge as well as physical endurance. "I shirk systematically, " says a woman. "I would rather have some things undone than others. I would rather feed my mind, which is going to last forever, than be a model housowife." It seems to be easier for some of us to break our backs undoing than to lift our little finger doing.
