And he glad they had IL tested.

And casy 4 can be-
So why not read THE TRIBUNE
SO good for all you see.

And the answers try 10 guess
Some are 80 deeply twisted
They have caught us We confess.
But THE TRIBUNE q will help US,
And the answers IL viii tell;
SO iOin ranks, be happy,
Yours, Michigan boy, farewell.

THE VALLEY OF POISON.
FRIENDS OF THE C. c.: The Valley Of Death, or
Poison Valley, Is ON the Island Of Java. il Is the
most remarkable natural example Of an atmosphere
loaded with carbOnic acid gas In existence. ID has
never been fully explored because Of The danger Of
remaining more than a few moments ia its poison
Gus atmosphere. IL is a hollow near the summit Of
a mountain range, only 10 be reached by long
climb up the hillside. Approached through an
opening between the hills, IL Is seen 10 be oval
shaped valley about half mile across. ID il about
IS feet deep; the bottom Is hard and sandy, with
out vegetation, and sircwed with many large stones.
Throughout the surface D. almost covered with the
bleached bones OF animals--tgcrs, pigs, deer and
otbersGll kinds Of birds and also OF human beings.
Explorers Of the valley seldom venture beyond the
borders though IL has been proved that the deadly
air does not immediately affect human beings. This
is because the eabone acid gas being heavier than
the atmosphere settles 20 the bottom of The valley.
Dogs and fowls thrown into it fall senseiess in-
4 stanty aud die In few minutes. No craiers or
assures are visible on the floor Of this valley and il
il thought Ghat the openings are near the base Of
! the rocky hill surrounding Eva Hatfield,

Matched that way Pretty soon afer he was Matched

I everybody called him. One chick which took n
fancy 20 him (which the other didn't was called
/ Crossbills Mutual Friend" One old rooster,
named Timothy" was always at with Cross
1 bill. There were two others who had their Toes
curled 10 the inside, and one who had his toes fAs
tened together by membrane and reiOiced IN the
