H
CLASS PROPHECY
By Lorena Long
One day as the sun was sinking
in the west, I had finished my
schojol work and felt tired; at
last i began to wander around
and soon I reached a little stream,
where 1 sat dcjwn on a log and
buried my face in my hands. 1
could hear the water running,
and the birds flying over head,
but still I could not f<(rget my
fatigue.
Soon 1 felt a light touch on my
arm and looking up 1 rfiw a small
fairy, dressed in a flimy robe of
cob web and can this really be
true and before 1 had time to
speak; the fairy spoke in a low
tone: “What are you worrying
about my dear?”
“Ah” 1 said ,n reply “Yo^i have
indeed, discerned something of
my troubles, when I tell you that
I am the Prophetess off my class
whose graduating exercises come
within a few days, can you won-
der that my mind was distressed?
Day after totmorrow 1 must read
my prophecies to all the class
and yet, not a word, mind you,
m(t one word is written, or even
thought.”
Then my good friend let me help
you—take this key and go yonder
to that large oak tree and just
under the first limb yoju will find
a lock which this key will fit, un-;
lock it and there you- will find the
future of all ydur classmates.
I tcfok the key and unlocked
the place she indicated. I stood
amazed looking into a large mir-
row where I beheld Reece Old the
most intelligent pupil in senior
class selling hamburgers on a
crowded street fO|rner with his
wife singing to attract attention.
Next came Ruby Peurifoy poor
child; very, very disappointed in
her love at the age of seventeen
and her last year in Naples High
School, of course not saying who,
as it not necessary, although
marking facts more plainly, it
was as we sadly state—Lollis
Grau. Remaining an old maid
school teacher whose philosophy
is "If you can’t get the cine you
want don’t get one at all.”
Locking again into the mirrow
1 saw Pat Berry now Mrs. Tom
Baker and her little son Tom Jr.
as “gate keeper” of the Atlanta
base ball team.
„1 ask myself if this could really
be true and by that time the
vision rff Velma Wright who it is
conceded by every one to be an
excellent judge of applied art has
"invented a new cosmetic warrant-
ed to remove all blemishes from
the face in fifteen minutes, giv-
ing it a clear and radient hue and
a glow of youthful health most
charming to the eye; but in spite
of the wonderful invention and
the fortune she has accumulated
she remains an old maid and
spends the rest of her time trav-
• eling in the old world.
Another to my surprise Mary
Elizabeth Whatley our Once belov-
• ed school pianeat giving up all
• hopes of elver being a musical
• star is devoting her entire time
..caring for a ward of insane peo-
. pie in a state institution.
Next we see Manola Strickland
..a very fine lc'oking young lady
.who thought that nature had
ordained that she should be a
poet but she never will write
andther poem after she turns her
back on Naples High School in a
few months she will meet a young
man whom she will marry and he
will secure her a position as
radio caster from station WFAA.
Next eolmes Waldine Cole who
has been divorced from her third
husband and has taken “Reds”
place in the "Darr-Gray show.”
The next vision that was re-
flected in the mirrow was Veneta
» Spence who had made prepara-
- tions to swim the English Chan-
nel, her attempt was not success-
.. ful so she married a Missionary
, and sailed fo/r Greece.
I could see Glenn McMichael
. who has not changed at all and
•( is a very dignified school teacher.
( Last comes Stinnett Thomas
who from his earliest years has
been fond of doing w'hat he call-
ed "stunts,” his bo/nes seem to be
made of Indian rubber and his
face of Art |Gum, and his various
• ' contortions have always been the
delight of his class mates. Often
■ also eJiciting the wdnder of the
' prysical cultured teachers. He
joins Sells Circus and becomes
advertised as one o»f the world’s
greatest contortionist.
After these visions had been
revealed, the fairy smiled, to|ok
the key and vanished, leaving me
meditating on the question, what
might have happened if it had
been some other way.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
A very good way to prevent
irons from sticking to starched
things and also to produce a very
fine gloss is to wrap and tie a
piece of beeswax in flannel and
rub it on the iron.
I
* * *
If brcxyns are to sweep clean j
they should be washed occasion-'
ally. Try this way. To_' two
quarts of warm water add four
teaspoons of household ammo- j
nia. Let the brooms stand in
this fojr half an hour, then rinse
thoroughly in cold water, and, if
possible, hang in the sun to dry.
• * *
Twd tablespoonfuls of tapioca
added to a quart of any kind of
soup about 15 minutes before re-
moving from the fire adds greatly
to its flavor and nourishing quali-
ties.
# * *
White furniture may be clean-
ed by dissolving baking soda in
warm water and applying the
solution to the furniture with a
soft cloth, rubbing w'ith a dry one
afterward. Finger marks and
dirt are easily removed in this
simple way. A teaspooin to a
pint of water.
* * *
Paint can be easily removed
from glass by wetting a copper
or silver coin with turpentine and
rubbing the paint with it.
* * *
Patent leather shoes need very
careful cleaning tol prevent them
from cracking. An effectiv
method is to clean off any mud or
dirt and then rub in a little vase-
line. Leave the vaseline on till
yofu want to wear the shoes, then
rub it off and clejan with a proper
cram sold for the purpose.
* # *
One or two ounces of fine
flowers of sulphur put on a bright
clear fire will rqmove the soot
that has collected in the flues.
* # *
To set the dye1 in cotton stock-
ings put a handful of common
salt in the washing water.
* * *
A little baking soda dissolved
in the bath water is as sofothling
and healing to the skin as any lo-
tion.

Sheep Population Falls
The sheep population of the
United States is apparently fall-
ing. In 1 DO/, it is stated, there
were 63,960,000 head of sheep in
the country, but in 192-1 the num-
ber fell to a little less than 40,-
000,000. This is a decline of 39
per cent.
The world had seen many men
who felt superior to their fellows,
but remembers few of them.

Headache

"T HAVE headache once in a
A while, usually coming from
constipation or torpid liver,” says
Mr. L. A. Morphia, of Pottavilk,
Ark., "and the very best remedy I
have found to correct this condi-
tion is Thedford’s Black-Draught.
It acts quickly and easily, and it
just can’t be beat.
"Black-Draught is the very best
laxative I have found. I always ^
feel so much better after taking it. S
"My wife takes Black-Draught,
too. For dizziness, costiveness
and any little stomach disorder, _
we find it most satisfactory, and •
consider Black-Draught a family
medicine.”
Constipation, with an inactive
