O,rnrh,s witty Rishnn.

Two stories are attributed in The
Railway Magazine to the witty bishop
of oxford. He was once talking to
some boys in school and said to them:

But assure you I'm a very busy man.

ed the boys all together. NO" replied
the bishop, with a merry twinkle in his
eye. ITS called Bradshaw!
The other story Is still better. On
one occasion when he alighted from
the train at Wheatley, the station for
Cuddesden palace, an officiOus porter
rushed up TO him and asked, ANY arti
cles in the van, my lord" Articles
said the bishop grimly. Eyes, 80 arti-
cles." OFF hurried the porter and wor-
ried the guard almost out of his senses
by the way he searched the van and
detained the train. Presently he came
back to the bishop with a crestfallen
expression of countenance. There are
only seven, my lord" "Only seven?

Hnrse. wounded In nattle.

Horses wounded on the battlefield

to human life is involved. The veteri-
nary officer In charge is expected to
follow close on the fighting line and.
together with a number of aids, TO in
spect properly wounded animals and
give instructions for their removal or
slaughter. as the case may be. The
veterinary surgeon is naturally expos
ed to considerable danger, but II his
work is not carried out during the
progress of hOstilities in all probability
It cannot be accomplished afterward.
for, although the royal army medical
corps is allowed to proceed to the res
cue of the wounded men under the
Red Cross, the members of the army
veterinary department are not permit
ted to attend to the injured horses, be-
cause they are not under the protection
of the Geneva convention, which makes
no provision whatsoever for wounded
animals.
At the conclusion of the battle, II II
has been decisive and one or other Of
the combatant armies has been driven
from the field, a party of veterinary
surgeons, with their assistants, Is sent
out to examine every animal that has
fallen and to shoot such as are badly
wounded Those suffering from only
slight injuries are collected and taken
to the veterinary hospital lines, formed
as fixed camps and established on a
similar basis to those of the royal ar

wb, Fr.nllin pid Not write Il.

1T has always been curious puzzle
why Franklin, the man Of ripe age, Of
commanding distinction and Of approx
ed literary skill, was not selected to
write the Declaration instead Of Thorn
as jefferson, then only 80 years old and
comparatively unknown" says John
Gilmer Speed in The Saturday Even
ing Post ut could not be thar Frank
lin was passed by because he had done
everything in his power to avert the
war and reconcile the differences be-
tween the colonies and the mother
country. for all wise men in the colo
MES did all that honor permitted in
No; it was not a fear of Franklin's ear
nestness In the cause of the colonies.
1t was probably the fear Of Franklin's
humor.
He was not only the greatest man
of his time. but he was one of the
greatest humOrists of any time. And
so his associates were possibly afraid
that he would put joke In the Decla-
ration and passed him by and selected
the lank young Virginian with the free
killed. face.
"As ii was, Franklin did have his
joke, for when the members of con-
gress were about to sign the Declare
ton Hancock, whose earnestness is ex-
pressed in the bold signature which
comes first, said in his own earnest
way: We must be unanimous. There
must be no pulling different ways. We
must all hang together
yes replied Franklin; we must
sure to hang separately"

Europe's City of Crime.

The Italian city Of Artena, situated
about 40 miles from Rome, is known as
the City of Crime. Ever since the six
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison or done his time
has emigrated to Artena, and today
practically every inhabitant is crimi-
nal or the child of criminals. Every
family takes the law into Its own
hands, and ii is reported not a day
passes without many murders being
committed in the streets. The Italian
authorities have now come to look up
on Artena as hopeless and remark that
1t is far better that criminals should
kill criminals than that innocent per-
sons should be their victims. 1t Is said
that on one occasion when % murders
had been committed in that city In one
day the fact was reported In one Of the
Italian papers In the following terms:
"Since our last issue GA hours before)
there have been % sudden deaths In
Artena." and no further notice Of the
murders was taken or expected.
