In little town near Chicago there
: a school house close to the tracks of

IF this juxtaposition of the two thing:
5 one that never would occur to any
out the boyish mind. The boys got uI
4 game which consisted in their seeing
which one should be the last TO jump
across the track in front of the express
rain that passes there at fifty miles al
hour Just after school lets out. This
game has already cost at least three
lives. The other day a railroad EN-,
ployee went to the mother of one OF
he boys to tell her what her son wa:
loing. She told him she could take
;are of her own children and wanted
no interference by tattletales. Sh,
gave him a scolding he will never for
get. One reason why he will never
forget it is that the boy was killed by

The engineer said he saw the boy stand

he meant so try to cross it ahead of th'
train.

SnObbery Snubbed.

The kind of snobbery that scorn,
what it calls the ''wOrking-classes
is sickening. No true gentleman Ol
lady, however wealthy or educated, i:
guilty of it. Narrow minded, shallow.
Drained nincompoops who indulge il
affected disdain of the ''workiug
classes" are disgrace to their country
But the number of such people is in
areasing, and they cannot be too often
held up to public ridiclule and con
tempt. These people set themselves
- as the ''better element" when il
fact they constitute one of the mos
dangerous factors in misunderstanding
.ociety. This outgrowth of Englisl
,nobbery deserves TO be rebuked when
ever met with. Fhe theory of oul
government is that call men are fire,
md equal. As fast as we fall ava,
from this ideal, in the same proper
ion will grave social dangers increase
Honest labor is honorable wherever
nay be perforned.-N. E. Home

Ages and Appetites Of Birds.

A German ornithologist has beer
boxing into the subject of birds ages
ecently. The swan, he concludes, lie
he longest lived of all birds. The
,ldest swan of which there is a record
ived 800 years. Many falcons are
,nown to have lived 1872 years. The
rulture and the eagle are also very
ong lived.
In 1919 an osprey died which had
,een caught in 1715, at which time il
vas full grown and probably five OF
tx wears old. A white-headed vul-
ure caught in 1706 died in the bird
louse of the imperial palace at Schon'
,runn, near Vienna, in 1924.
Parrots often live a century after
hey have been captured and tanned,
Sea and swamp birds usually live sew
.ral generations. Geese, if left to
themselves, and cpckoos also reach s
rery old age. Ravens rarely die un-
Ter 100 years of age. Magpies sci
iom pass more than twenty or twenty
i've years in confinement. WheI
Zee they live forty or fifty years.
The barnyard rooster in good luck il
generally healthy and strong till he ha
passed his fifteenth year. Pigeons
ire good for ten years; singing bird
for eight to eighteen years. Nightin
gales in captivity live about ten years
olaekbirds about fifteen years; cana
-ies, in captivity, twelve TO fifteel
years, although on the islands wher
hey originated they often live twenty
i've or thirty years.
Just why birds get so much more o
ife than men is something that nobod
Knows. One reason often given
hat they eat SO much. A birds appe
lite is tremendous. A thrush put
lown with one swallow the bigge;
snail. To perform a correspondent
feat a man would have TO take a Who'll
eg of beef at bite. A robin re
| ,reast is also a terrible eater. 1t ha
| oeen calculated that a mass of foo
equivalent TO all angle worm fourtee
feet long is required daily to keep
-obin in good condition.

HOnOred.

Old Elder K-was one of the "odo
sticks one often heard of in the Con.
aecticut Valley half a century ago.
IN his younger days he preached the
gospel with great vigor and in man
ler calculated to strike terror to the
hearts of all eviI-doers; but as he grew
older his mental vigor waned with ms
ohvsical forces and it began TO be
whispered around that Elder X
wasn't '.exactly right" which was
polite and indefinate way of saying
hat his mind was going from him
He insisted, however, on filling the
pulpit he had so long filled until his
friends were compelled to keep hin
away by force.
One Sunday morning, when has sue
lessor was about to begin his sermon
Elder k-surprised the congregation
oy marching down the aisle and up &c
the pulpit, where he began harang1lint
the congregation, regardless OF fh'
rights and presence of his scandalizaa
successor.
Here was a dilemma. The four dea
cons and others of the brethren hastily
consulted together and Elder X
was gently demonstrated with, but al
TO no purpose. He fatty refused t.
leave the pulpit, and kept right oI
preaching terrifying sermon.
Finally the four deacons, vigorou
men in spite of their years, walked
into the pulpit, seized the struggling
and rebellious elder, and started on
with him on their shoulders. WheI
half way down the aisle, he still furthe
scandaIized the congregation by bawl
ing out satirically:

If farm house was handy by, the
drover and his boys would make their
headquarters there. If not, they built
fires and camped out.
As the Vermont line was approached
camping out was necessary for the
safety of the birds every night. 1t was
hilly country there, and foxes that
knew all about turkey drives abounded.
Highgate, VT, is in famous country
for foxes. In that country five or SIX
fires would be built about the flock,
while sentinels stood guard at times.
The distance which poultry was
driven was often more than 100 miles.
Drives lasting ten days and of an aver
age of eighteen miles a day are told OF
here.
There is no way of telling how many
turkeys and other sorts of poultry
were driven through into Vermont IN
the old days. This year, up to Nov
23, about % 900 were shipped 'ou
over the Vermont Central.-Ex.

He is years of age, very precociOus,

of his position. lie is solemn and
thoughtful, disdains all childish sports.
and spends all of his time in the Sc
clusion of his palace, studying, con-

He is learning Chinese and French,
and shows remarkable aptitude in the
acquisition of foreign tongues. He is

The Bite of Death.

Victor Poissant, young electrician
# Omaha, has very ingenious way of
,illing rats. As he has been practicing
his method Of electrocution at inter
5als for the past three years he may be
'airly credited with having anticipated
he New York scientists who are now
,uzzling themselves and the rest of
mankind as to the propriety of send
ng Mr.. Kemmler ont of the world by
he overhead wire system. The pry-
ng rodent is caught in an ordinary
wal trap, the bottom of which is COW
red with tin. Mr.. POissant has a
mall dynamo of his own manufact-
ire. One wire, connected with the
lynamo, is fastened to the tin lining
# the trap, and another is thrust into
he prisoners cell. The well-known
propensity of Gagged rat to do battle
tsserts itself, and he siezes the wire
)etween his teeth. In doing so he
makes the mistake of his life. The
'ircuit is completed, his jaws close on
he wire with death grip, and with
)ut squeak and almost without 8
luiver he passes into state of eterna
| lesuetude.
