Mr. George C.

Some time ago, 'Robert Mellott moved his blacksmith shop from Ilarrisonville to a point on Possum Hollow road, back of Green Hill, in Licking Creek township. For some time this summer he has been missing cabbage plants from a patch near hi3 house. He saw a groundhog in the enclosure one day last week and followed it to its den. Securing a mattock he dug out three young "hogs" and the old one. This bunch of pork ers" furnished a nice lot of "ba con" for hi3 table in payment for the cabbage they had stolen. Mr. Mellott made a wagon this sum mer that is intended to carry sev eral tons. One of our reporters saw it last week, and he said it looked like it would carry a whole freight train.

The question about our town is, Where is the next picnic? and Are you going to the festival next Saturday even'.cg? The picnics are not like they were in the days of yore. Instead of large wagon loads of people and provisions, we see them going now with two in a buggy and a little shoe box of provision. This Is a result of the high cost of liv ing and more for style.

Herbert Duffy has his "Stude baker 20" in "The Webster Mills Gas and Electric Co's shops" for an overhauling.

PASSES THE DAY IN TRANCE Strange Freak of Nature It What li Known to Scientific World as the Stick Insect One of tlie most curious inhnbit nnts of the insect world is what is known as the stick insect, ahout which Professor Schmidt of the Im perial university of St. Petersburg lias been muking some strange dis coveries. This insect remains in a quiescent state during the hours of daylight. Until now it has always been sup posed that this was slumber, but Professor Schmidt says that this is really a slate of catalqisy, or trance, which the insect has developed as a means of protection against its enemies. When in one of these trances the insects will remain for hours in the most abnormal positions standing on their heads, Hat on their backs or with legs extended high in the air and the body arched in the fon tf a bow.- Only some prolonged excitement of the nervous system will rouse them from this rigid cataleptic state, but when the trance is over they show no signs whatever of muscular fatigue. The stick insect passes all its days in a trance and feeds at night on the foliage of the plants where it lives. Dayton Journal.

Lightning is said to have its pref erences among different kinds of trees. Some year9 ago Mr. McXab, a fellow of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, investigated into the gen erally received opinion that neither tho beech nor the birch is ever struck by lightning. He collected information regarding lightning struck trees throughout Great Brit ain, and found no single instance of these species being struck. Investi gation in North America gave simi lar results. He found, indeed, that in the forest regions there a beech ' trco was regarded as the safest place in a thunder storm. LABELED THE WRONG STUFF. Tho door of the Seventy-second precinct police station was suddnn ly burst open and an excited indi vidual bolted to the desk. "Lieutenant!" he shouted.

( "And the thieves left no clew?" "None. All they left was sev eral articles lubeled 'Not to Bo Taken.' " REBUKING SUSPICION. "Isn't there a great deal of esprit do rorpB in your class?"

Just plain politeness is doing more to smooth the path for you and tr.e and those around us than many of the so called greater charities. Picture the courteous man at the telephone. His anwcring voice has a ring of welcome to it; his smile travels along the wires just as surely as do the words he utters. We're glad to hear from him glad to call him. From the first tingle of the bell to the final "Rood-bye" we are alive to the fact that at the other end of the line sits a friend a' courteous, delightful friend. But, not only docs he spread telephone enjoy ment, but attains it as well. Telephone service is very largely of our own making. If we use it properly courteously and thoughtfully we and those who communicate with us find it GOOD service up to the standards of Bell Service the most efficient service in the world.
