Laughing Around the World With IRVIN s. COBB — J » By IRVIN S. COBB A PROPOS of the colored man’s readiness st adapting himself to any ** unexpected situation, a distinguished clergyman of the Southern Methodist church recently told me a little story which he said was a true one. His account ran as follows: "On the plantation where I passed most of my boyhood was a quick-witted old black man who spent most of his spare time—and most of it was spare time at that—hunting and fishing or prowling in the woods. One day ha woe going through a strip of timber when! he saw a young squirrel dodge into one of a series of holes in a rotted hickory. He had fail’Mi to bring his gun along with him but with visions of potpie making his mouth watery, he skinned up the snag. “He was just about to pliur-e one hard into the hole where the squirrel vanished, meanwhile holding- on with the other hand and both of his legs, when from another opening slightly higher above the first, a huge blue racer darted a of its length out so that its malevolent eyes stared right iuto his popped eyes and its long forked tongue licked the tip si his nose. “With a shriek, Uncle Jabe let go of all grips and dropped twenty feet with a tremendous thump. “When he came to he lesked aloft to where the reptile’s pointed head arid slender neck still swayed to and fro and dreamily said: “‘Well, Mister Snake, I suttin’ly s’prised you dat time, didn’t I?’”

The last stop was made at the Rudy Ross Farm. Here some demonstrations! fitting was done. A pen of eight lambs were graded. Ross’ ’ambs have been on permanent pasture and will go on oats pasture to finish on. A fine basket dinner was enjoyed by all at the noon hour. How Women in Their 40’s Can Attract Men Here’s good advice for a woman during her change (usually from 38 to 52), who fears she’ll lose her appeal to men, who worries about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells, upset nerves and moody spells. Just get more fresh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you need a reliable “WOMAN’S” tonic take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made etpeeiallv for women. It helps Nature build up physical resistance, thus helps give more vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming jittery nerves and those disturbing symptoms that often accompany change of life.
