How Jong do animals live ? That
question can only be answered ap-
proximately because scientists have
not been able to agree and many vary-
ing observations have been made.
The average number of years for
a man is 33, yet many men live the
three score and ten which the Bible i
aljots to man. In modern times men
have- been known to live to be 120,
but no man has attained the age of
Methusaleh, who, the Bible tells us,
lived to be 960 years old. When he
was 500 years old, so runs the pld
story, an angel told Methusaleh that
he should build a new home. He ask-
ed how much longer he had to live
and when the angel replied not more
than 500 years more, Methusaleh de-
cided it wasn’t worth while.
The following table has been large-
ly verified by scientists as the aver-
age for these animals:
Day-fly, 24 hours.
May-bug, 6 weeks.
May-bug larvae, 3 years.
Ant, 1 year.
Grasshopper, 1 year.
Bee, 1 year,
Hare, 6 to 10 years.
Rabbit, 8 years,
* Sheep, 8 to 10 years.
Dog, 10 to 12 years,
V.iper, 10 years,
Nightingale, 12 years.
Wolf, 12 to 15 years.
Cat, 12 to 15 years.
Frog, 15 years, Bison, 15 years.
Canary, 15 to 20 years.
Toad, 20 years.
Goldfish, 18 years.
Ox,. 25 years.
Horse, 25 to 30 years.
Eagle, 30 years.
Stag, 35 to 40 years.
Swan, 35 to 40 years.
Camel, 35 to 40 years.
Orang-outang, 40 years.
Salamander, 40 years.

ASHEVILLE, N. C., Nov. 18.-—Cql.
Raymond Robins, c|ry leader and close
friend of President Hoover who dis-
appeared September 3, was discover-
ed yesterday in ap obscure mountain
vjllfigp of wpstern North Carolina, a
victim of amnesia, it was announced

He ,was brought to an undisclosed
place near Asheville tonight for treat-
ment, Dreier said. ^
“Col, Robins is in sound physical
condition and is in perfect -control
of his ordinary mental faculties,” a

thropist has been living in the vil-
lage of Whittier, deep in the moun-
tains, at a boarding house, under
the name of “Rogers.”
Hi% finding, after a nation-wide
search, respited frqm the ^york of
two agents of the federal prohibition
department, who were in the vicinity
of Whittier on other business.
The pastor will bring a brief word
concerning the Baptist general con-
vention of Texas which he and sev-
eral others attended at Abilene this

and spiritual convention in almost a
decade.

Transfiguration and Ours,” and “The
Saviour who saves the saved sinner
from a sifting Satan.”

IN NIGHT CLOTHES KIDNAPING
VICTIM ESCAPES CAPTORS
SHREVEPORT, La., Nov. 18.—A
story of having been kidnaped from
his home in Mount Pleasant, Texas,
by three men, from whom he man-
aged to escape Wednesday night, was
told to Deputy Sheriff Bert Stone
and other officials here by C. J.
Boase, 59-year-old farmer.
Boase was treated by Dr. Willis- P.
Butler, Coroner, for injuries to his
feet, allegedly sustained when he
jumped from an automobile truck in
which he was held captive,
Boase, clad only in his night cloth-
ing and barefooted, was taken in
charge by Constable W. G. Fry of
Greenwood when he sought aid of
residents of that community, and was
later delivered to Sheriff John Payne
of Marshall, Texas, who said mem-
bers of his family were searching for
him. ' Boase reported that last Mon-
day night at his home he had pre-
pared to retire when he heard a noise
at his chicken house. When he went
to the chicken house he was pounced
upon by three men who made him
prisoner, placed him in a truck and
carried him off. They kept him pris-
oner until Wednesday night, when he
escaped, he told officers, by slugging
his guard, jumping from the rear of
the moving truck and slipping away
in the darkness.
The regular service will be on Sun-
day morning at 11:00 o’clock. The
Bible class will meet at 9:45 a. m.
There will be a union Thanksgiv-
ing service on Wednesday evening at
the Baptist Church. We hope this
service will be well attended,
Wentworth A, Riemann,
ing with the same bait.
The incident was dismissed with
the remarks from one brother that
he guessed they would “join any
church and be baptized for $1.50.”

TO PIERIANS

given in response to roll call when

November 18. Mrs. W. F. Mace read

Little, a visitor, gave interesting orig-
inal thoughts concerning flags.
Mrs. Dan Culver, leader for the
afternoon, gave short selections from
“Coronado’s Children,” a collection Qf
tales dealing with lost mines and
buried treasures and with people and
places. This book is from the pen
of J. Frapg 'Diobie, professor of Eng-
lish qt the University of Texas, and
the outstanding historian and author-
ity on Texas lore,
“The Legal Status of Women in
Texas,” was ably discussed by Mrs.
J. D. Jackson. Quoting Ocie Speer
(former justice of the state commis-
sion of appeals) she said: “Texas
laws know no difference between
trousers and skirts. We are not sav-
ed legally by sex—women is “it” as
much as a man and who is there to
complain of this equality of rights?
None. It is the beginning of govern-
mental wisdom—this exact equality
before the law, the acme of the state’s
protection.”
Early Texas Poems” were read by
Mrs. M. W. Howard. Some of these
mentioned historical forts, some Tex-
as birds and many other phases of
interest in our state Jsut all were
heartily enjoyed when presented by
Mrs. Howard—Reporter.
