 All over the world proverbs are in use, and almost every person makes use of sayings and maxi1ns handed down by word of mouth from one century to the next A proverb could be defined as an old saying, concise, witty and sensi- ble
 Proverbs are generally very useful, but sometimes they bring misfortune It is recorded that favorite subject of Queen Elizabeth once ventured, while in her presence, to say: "The legs of the lame are not equal so is parable in the mouth of fools" This unfortu- nate remark cost him his life, for the queen, who limped little rom fheu- matism was very angry and had him beheaded.

Some people are particular. The German war office had the audacity to send two thousand carrier pigeons to Dover, England, where they were re- leased and flew to Dusseldorf, Rhenish Prussia, twenty miles north of Cologne, on the right bank of the Rhine The German officials who liberated the birds heard, six hours later of their arrival No permission to do this was asked of the British foreign or war office. This incident has caused intense ill-feeling in England It was questioned in the house of commons The under secre- tary of war said they had the matter under consideration and that Germany would scarcely tolerate similar trial of British pigeons within its domain The press is printing heated comments on the subject. It is said that a hun dred of the liberated birds belonged to the kaiser.

An Indiana veteran who protested against having pension imposed up- on him has been forced into an insane asylum. He was a brave soldier, but was bitterly opposed to the enlarge ment of the pension list, and, though suffering from i'll health, refused to make application for a pension.

It was successful, but the effort unnerved the patriotic veteran and he has been ad- Judged of unsound mind.
