TO SPELL COMMON WORDS
An Early Georgia MoniUr
In the fore part i t August, 1312, a
party of hunters found In 11 mountain
ous region now known ns Itnhiin coun
ty, (lit., a beliif nearly eight feet high
covered with bluish Imlr und having a
human fuce inlonied with Immense
ears resembling those of an nss. The
crcuture wns stone deaf and on that
account aeemed wholly unconscious of
the approach of the men. This mon
ster seems, from nil accounts, to hare
been seen upon several occasion dur
ing tho next four yenrs. In 1810 a
number of udveuturer from Virginia,
most of I hem surveyors working up
the unexplored portions of Georgia
and the Carollnns, formed themselves
Into a party for the express purpose
of capturing (lie uncanny being If pos
sible. They scoured the hills and val
leys for several days and at last re
turned unsuccessful to the starting
point.
, The rnnny tales told or tms cxtraor-1
dlnary being seem to have created i
quite It stir nil along the Atlantic coast. !
A printed circular Issued by a land
company In 181.) snys, "The climate of
Georgia Is exceedingly mild, the soil
productive, nnd the danger of attack
from uncouth bensts which are repre
sented as being half beast and half
man are fairy talcs not worthy of con- (
slderatlon." Exchange.

Made It Quite Clear.
Tbe engineers of a party In the field
were continually annoyed by tbe curi
osity of the farmer folk In the country
round. Each and every day their prog
ress was blocked by some inquiring
soul who would have liked to spend j
the forenoon acquiring answers to
questions of why nnd whltber and
how fnr and what for, rclntes tbe New
York Sun. At last a Berlous faced
young man took an Interested bucolic
grnybeard one side nnd explained mat
ters. "Now," snld he, "I'm telling this to
you. and 1 don't want It to go any fur
ther. We have discovered that the
earth Is n parabolic hexold, and tne
ordlnates and co-ordl antes do not quite
tally by a foot or perhaps by fourteen
Inches. The place where the gap comes
has been located In that field Just
abend of us. We don't want It men
tioned, but we are getting ready to
blow op tbe spot and make an Incision
before beginning the operation of Join- :
ing the two." !
Tbe engineers finished their labors In
peace and solitude. j
The Shilling Bequest.
The wealthy auctioneer who reduced
the Inheritance of n daughter' to nn
annuity of 104 because she had be
come a Socialist reminds one of the
old fashioned "cutting oft with a shil
ling." Why n shilling rather than noth
ing? Blackstoue explains, ine no
mans used to set aside wills as de
ficient In natural duty if they disin
herited or totally passed by any child
of the testator. But the smallest leg
acy wns accepted as evidence that the
testator bad not lost his reason or his
memory, as the law otherwise as
sumed he hnd; hence the groundless
belief In England that a father could
not disinherit his child without a
shilling, although the English law
knows no presumption of Insanity or
forgetfulness In such n case. Of Sheri
dan Slid his son Tom (and of other fa
thers and sonsi the story Is told: "Fa
ther I'll cut you off with a shilling.
Son I'd rather have It now, dad." St.
James' Gazette.
