That Was Centuries Ago, But His Faithful People Still Wait for His Coming. In olden times, when European kings were as plentiful as Kentucky colonels are to-day, it was not an exceptional occurrence for a king to disappear and never be. heard of again. In recent times, however, the people have been more careful of their kings. So when King Sebastian of Portugal disappeared in battle July 29, 1578, while fighting the Moors at Alcazar, there was great commotion. 'The Moors surrendered to the Portuguese a body said to be that of the king, but it was rumored that the Moors had the live king in custody. The surrendered body was buried with royal honors at Belem, but the faithful Portuguese persisted in waiting for the-return of their king. Long after he would have died in the course of nature I his countrymen longingly awaited his coming. Even up to this day the legend of the return of King Sebastian is be- lieved by many, and on stormy nights 'creduIOus Portuguese citizens will wrap, their cloaks about them and go ;-Outside and watch the storm, thinking "that the kingrmay appear in a cloud of fire and again rule over his people. Norwal I I AN ECCEfiErfiE .INVEN'TOR. 'J'orkea In Secret for Thirty-Flve‘ , Years on Perpetual Motion Machine. The sale of the effects of the late Jesse Horn, an eccentric farmer living in the Flatwoods district, will doubt- less attract a very large crowd of the curious, says aRome (Ga.) correspond- ent of the St. Louis Republic. Among the things listed for the sale is one per- petual motion machine. For 35 years Horn Worked every spare moment on his machine, often working feverishly far into the night. He guarded his se- - cret and his machine zealously, keeping it in a stout outbouse, the key to which Was never out of his sight for an in- stant. Not even a member of the fam- ily was ever permitted to gaze on the precious work of his brain, and he died with the secret locked in his heart. But the machine is advertised to sell at public outcry, and a. large number will be attracted to the sale. ’ Floyd has another ggcentric old fel- low, who was for y'é'drs imbued with the idea that he could invent a flying ma- ghjne: Hi§ name is Poole, and his men- tal equipoise is not of the best. One day Poole got the machine fixed to his likL ing, and, after bidding his wife and children a solemn farewell, crawled out- on the roof of his cabin frOm the sum- mit of which he announced that he was going to fly to Heaven. ‘He launched himself outward, but, instead of sail- ing off like a. bird, Poole and his ma- chine came to terra firma like alump of lead. As a consequence of his fool- hardiness, Poole was laid up for three months with a broken leg and other damages. It is only necessary to men- tion “flying machine” in Poole’s pres- ence now to send him into a. towering rage. Sunnlng the Dairy Pulls. The good old practice of sunning the dairy pails should not be forgotten, even though in many cases we have laid aside the shallow pans. The sun is a microbe killer of the first magnitude. He not only kills the microbes, but so thoroughly dries out the pails and other utensils of tin that the process of rust- in g is stopped. Wooden pails and uteri: sils are also improved by being submit- ted to the solar rays. This of course should be done in the open air, where the atmosph e is not poisoned or im- pregnated by 111 odors, and where the wind can have a full sweep.—Farmers’ Review. What Do the Children Drink? Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called Grain-O ? It is delicious and nourish ing and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs about 1- as much. All grocers sell it. 15c and 25c.
