A Dog Purse Snatcher.

Pointer dogs can always be trained to
steal. Many of them are natural thieves
without training, and any of the species
can be taught. There is a dog of this
kind in northwest Washington. He will
pick up anything he can find around a
yard or outside Of a store, but his spe-
cialty is ladies' pocketbooks and hand
bags. When he sees one of these, be
grabs it and runs, always succeeding in
getting out of sight before he can be
captured or followed, No owner has
ever been seen, hence no complaints
have been made at police headquarters
but there is but little doubt, if it were
possible to follow the animal, that it
would be found that he has been care
fully trained as purse snatcher and
that he takes his booty home to his
master. He seems to be aware that he is
doing wrong, jumping fences and dodg
ing around houses when running away.

An Old Colonial BIockhouse.

Among the attractions of the town Of
Bourne, Mass. are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures built over them were filled
with goods so necessary for the comfort
of the early pilgrims as we'll as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac-
tured goods such as the Hollander had
for sale and the Dutch required prod
ucts such as he colony could supply.

that this block house was built as early
as 1927, only seven years after the land

Mortality of PhYnicians.

Dr. COPYRIGHT, in the Brooklyn Medic
al journal bias written paper GA the
Mortality and Causes of Death In
Medical Men. This paper is based en-
the records Of 100 physicians who died
ia Nev York and Brooklyn during the
past eight Years. The average age g
death WAS DIT years, and the mortality
was about 20. % as compared with Il
mortality of % in clergymcn and
20. % in lawyers. There is eonsidera-
BILE mortality from the self administra.
ton Of drugs; that from consumption
is about half the general rate, while
that from typhoid fever is very high.
There Is "a high death rate due to arte-
rial sclerosis and other degcneratiye
changes.
The practical conclusion deducted
from DIR. Cortrieht 5 statistics says The
Medical journal, is that doctors should
take ut least three weeks complete rest
and change yearly; should be extremely
moderate in the use Of stimulants
should he regular III their meals, never
worry aud never hurry This is the kind
of advice that doctors give, but do not
take. The further suggestion, however
that they all JOIN some medical sickness
and life assurance society is a wise one.

PERCENTAGE OF POOR EYES.
Only One Person In Fifteen Has Bot

Only One Person In Fifteen Has Both
Eyes In Good Condition.
Only one person in Is has both eyes
i'll good condition, and in cases out Of
10 one eye, generally the right, is
stronger than the other. 1t is found
that just as people are right or left
handed so they are right or left sight
ed. and while apparently looking with
both eyes they often really use only one.
Out of 90 persons whose eyes were test
ed by a German doctor two only We're
found to be left sighted.
The reason of the greater strength
generally possessed by the right eye is
not altogether understood, but probably
the natural tendency to the greater nso
of the right side of the body has some
thing to do with it. In using weapons,
for instance, mankind has been taught
To assume for ages attitudes i'll which
the right hand and side have most eXer
else, and this discipline has undoubted
~ had its effect on the eye.
Old Sea captains after long use Of the
telescope find their right eyes much
stronger than the leftv-tho direct effect
of exercise. This law is confirmed by
the experience of aurists. II person
who has ears of equal hearing power
has cause to use one ear more than the
other for long period, the ear brought
into requisition is found to be strength

On the Beginning of
the New Year

We shall place our trade at
the Fletcher Store on a ready
pay basis. In making this
change we believe that we are
taking a course that will re-
suit to the best interest both
of ourselves and our custom
ers in the future, We are
aware that there may be times
when it will entail hardship
on some, but it will require
but a little resolution and self
denial to break through this
old incubus of credit which
has been and still is the cry
ing evil of trade, and place
ourselves on the ready pay
system. Then and then only
can we be free men. All
kinds of produce will be taken
in exchange for goods.
Yours sincerely,
