The CockatOo's Nut-CraciSer Bill.

A''4 '''S '''Nttih"H tud.J News
There is wonderful cockatoo in one of
the Islands Of the Indian ocean near New
Guinea. 1t is large as fulI-eroyyn
pheasant and 1t is of a jet back color. The
bird is remarkable for its immensely strong
bill ana the clever manner in which If is
used. The bill is as hard as steel and the
upper part has deep notch.
Now, the favo.ite food of this cockatoo
is the canary nut: but there is wonderful
ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut
is something like Brazil nut but it is
ten times as hard. In fact. it requires the
biow Of a heavy hammer to crack it II is
quite smooth and somewhat triangular in
shape Nature appears to have given the

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Lieut.. Off1ey, commander of Company B,
1th Infantry, 1T present temporary post
commander attEortf Mc Pherson, is victim
of red tape. BY aIseries of most peculiar
circumstances he now finds himself the
bearer of no sless than fourteen titles.
Without realizing lit, and unintentionally.
ne mas much the. same role as Poo Bah in
The Mkado.",e fr
His official titles are:
Post commander. adjutant, re ruiting Of
hcer, signal officer, ordnance officer, range
ohcer. commander Company b, 18th In
fantry; commanding 9TH Infantry detach-
ment commanding Sth Infantry detach-
meht quartermaster, commissary. officer
IN charge of prisoners. commanding 10Th
non-commissoned staff
The present situation Is due to the lack
OF officers at Mcpherson, and it is probably
the first time that the commander of any
military post has had to look after SO
many offices.
To illustrate the perplexing state of af-
fairs. If Lieut. Offfey as commander of
Company b. desires clothes for his men, he
makes cut clothing schedule as company
commander. This is then sent to himself
as pest commander for approval, and he
signs II as such, and then reSends it to
himself as quartermaster.
AS quartermaster he delivers the clothes
TO hlmself. and then signs for the clothing
as CON mander OF Company b.. The crigi-
raj paper in this manner goes through his
fands four different times, and is finally
MED among the post documents.

to work. and they got to talkin' to him and
asst him who he was and where he come
from.
He said his name was John Thomas and
he come from Georgy.
They said they had brother down there
somewhere they wanted to find mighty bad,
cause his wife and chillun was here.
Come to find out, John Thomas had mar
ried a gal what belonged to the same man
l did down there. So when they told him
my name he bust out laughin and said he
could tell 'em jes exactly where I was.
They wrote for me and l sold out and

From the New York SUM-
Il have tried working nights and seven
days in the week and all that sort OF thing -
said Mr.. Bitterly, with a vague idea that
nature would make an exception in my
case. and that could do it all right, wheth-
er anybody else could or not, but 1 find it
doesn't pay, which Is to say that nature
didn't make any exception in my case. 1t
Nay smile indulgentiy on me at the outset
of my breaking of its established rules,
but IL / persist it gets stern and makes it
clear to me that l must not violate its
rules, doing thus by bringing down my out
put without regard to the number of days
l could produce in six days work, besides
keeping ME in a state of perpetual nerv-
BUSINESS and worry.
THE fact is that we need day of rest;
that spring is inexhaustible and if we
keep on dipping after the water is low we
Clip up mud with the water. and it doesn't
pay; It's better to give the spring chance
to NIL up, and to give your back a chance,
too.
"A man that is fit and trim can do more
work in six days than a tired man can in
seven. The man that tries to get more out
of himself by working ali the time really
gets less. If he is crowded for money and
wants to work and earn it, the temptation
is great to keep right on at work all the
time and earn all he can. and If he per-
mits himself to stop at all he thinks he's
wasting time. But, bless us he isn't, he's
only giving himself chance to fill up. Let
him keep cam and enjoy that period
of idleness, and it Is not really idleness it's
recuperation. Then when the time comes TO
work let him pitch in for all he knows how;
he can't work too hard then. but it certain
ly does not pay to work all the time"
