A GENTLEMAN who purchased a szel-

agent about a year ago called at the
Office of the same agent a day or two
ago and wanted ticket Gust like the
other" It seems that he had ridden
around on the ticket Unfortunately
for an entire year. Each conductor to
whom it was presented scrutinized it
clsoely, at arms length, and with spec
tacles on, and in every other way,
punching and handing it back. The
owner or anybody else couldn't read
it, but it appeared to be good. It had
been so thoroughly punched that it fell
to pieces, and no wonder the gentle,
man wanted another "just like it..

ALTHOUGH the buffalo has become
extinct in the United States, vast herds
of this distinctively American "big
game" roam over the boundIess plains
of Northern Australia, and waIlow in
their shady pools. These animals,
which are magnificent specimens of the
Bison Amaricanus, are the descendants
. of some buffaloes landed at Port Ess-
ingtOn in 1929. They have rapidly
multiplied, and now afford excellent
sport to the hunter.

Increased Fifteen Thousand Fold-A Very
Lucky COuntryman.

y
San Antonio Tex Express, January 8.
The Express but recently published the
fact that Mr.. Z. 2. Cole, poor man who re-
sides at Pearsail, was the lucky winner of
fifteen thousand dollars in the Louisiana
State Lottery, having purchased ticket No.
90, 455, which drew One-fortieth of the capital
prize of $500, 900 IN the December drawing.
Mr.. Cole Is a remarkably lucky man for he
seems to have known just where and when to
invest dollar where it would do the most
good. After learning of his good fortune, Mr..
Cole sent his ticket to New Orleans by eX-
press. where 1t was cashed in full by the bank
and the money returned to HIM in a remark
ably short time, thus demonstrating the fact
that the Louisiana State Lottery Company
Is as reliable as ever, and never makes a
promise but what IS carried out to the letter.
MIR. Coles good fortune has not turned
his head and he proposes to use his means
IN the effort to better his condition for the
remainder of his life

SAYS Ia railroad man: "A passenger
engine averages go pounds of coal to
the mile, and travels about 56, 600
miles per year, while a freight engine
averages 80 pounds of coal to the mile
and makes about $4,000 miles per
year, while yard engines burn less.
Freight engines travel much slower
than passengers, and therefore burn
more coal per mile. The largest mile
age made in 1888 by a passenger en-
CINE was 81. 900 miles, and by a freight
engine $4,000 miles"

Escaping Sheol.

According to the Talmudic idea, certain
persons are mentioned who will escape hell
or have their torment therein lightened.
Whoever articulates every letter while
reading the Shema Oeut. vi, 40 will have
hell cooled for him. Three kinds will never
see the face of hell-those who are ground
down by poverty, those who suffer from
bowel sickness and those who lie at the
mercy of creditors. To these three some
rabbis, whose experience of matrimony
was perhaps unfortunate, add those who
have a shrew to wife.
Charity to the poor, by feeding them and
otherwise, opens the door of escape from
hell. Whoever shears portion of his
goods for the poor and is charitable is re-
leased from the judgment of hell. A pas
sage in Gittin likens the charitable and the
IN ,haritable to two ewes passing through
Il river of water The eve which is shorn
reaches the opposite bank in safety, but
the eve which remains unshorn is
drowned.
It is also said prov. X, 2, and Prov. XII, 4,
charity "a. V. righteousness ''deliver-
eth from DEATH This is sometimes re-
cited at the present day at a burial by the
keeper of the ground Or other person, when
money is commonly given for the use OF

Ancient Shop Signs,

It seems no risk to assert that in our
state there are not ten men born within
the commonwealth, of New England par
ents, who cannot read and write. | have
heard it suggested that the curious signs
above the doorways of taverns and shops
which were so common 200 years ago, were
really aids to those who were unable to
read. The "Green Dragon" the 'Blue
Lion," the t'White Horse" and the ''Buncl
Of Grapes over the doors of the colonial
inns of Boston rendered them easily identi
fed, whereas q signboard would have beer
rnintelligible to the mass of the people.
In like manner shopkeepers were wont
to mark their doorways, doubtless for 6
similar reason. A relic of this custom is
seen occasionally even today, conspicuous
examples being a gilded ostrich above {
milliner's door, a kid above glover's ant
a spinning wheel above the door of liner
shop But the real significance of these
signs has passed away, and the signs them
selves have disappeared before the ad
vances of the school master.-Boston Ad
