WISE WOoDPEcKERS.
How They Drive Worms from the In.ld.

or Trees
 A Chicago professor who has been in the Maine woods this summer tells an interesting story of the intelligence Of family of woodpeckers which he encountered near the headwaters of the Allegash, and which were most uneommonly bright birds. As every one knows who has observed these birds at all, they feed on the worms which burrow into trees. Any worm With fair amount of activity can bore gallery three Or four feet long in a tree in single season, so to find his prey the woodpecker has to make sey- eral holes in the tree in order to get at his victim. This particular family of woodpeckers, having some difficulty in getting at the worms after they had drilled a hole into his gallery, proposed to save themselves unneces- sary work. And what do you think they did? In the Allegash woods grows the Indian poke" plant with berries possessing an alkaline juice particularly disagreeable to all animal life. And so these Allegash wood peckers, having made an entrance into the domr of the borer, proceed next to drop berries of the Indian poke into the opening. And so much does the worm dislike the odor of the poke berries that he comes out to get away from it, and incidentally to see who has had the impertinence to cause him so much discomfort He never gets any further than the en- trance, because Mr. Woodpecker is waiting there, and that worm is goh- bled up so quickly that he never. knows what happened to him. This seems like good deal of fairy story, doesn't it? But Prof. Eastman J. Clarke says he saw it with his own eyes.

PIG DYING OF GRIEF.
When Its Only Friend, a Cow, Was
 Taken Away It Refused Food.


 A little pig on Smiths island Is vast ing slowly away-dying, in fact, of grief, because of it's separator from a COW to which 1t was devotedly at- tached, says the Boston Globe. Smiths island, composed of 100 acres or more, is about a mile distant from Norwalk, Conn. A lighthouse stands on its east ern coast and it's only inhabitants are Samuel Armour and his mother. To soften her state of semi-iso1ation, as well as because they are profitable, Mrs. Armour raises quite little farm yard stock, such as ducks, hens, a goat and COW. The name of the COW is Pansy. Pansy arrived on Smiths is- land when only calf and consequently knows little of the outside world and its devious ways. From her infancy she had come in contact with hens and ducks and geese; she even rubbed skirts with a goat. but one quadruped p4nsy had not seen was pig. When, fRerefore, last spring MT. Armour brought to Smiths island from the mainland a fat little pig, its appear ance caused Pansy a good deal of sur- prise and excited the farmyard gen erally. The little pig was not popular by any means. As for Pansy, she could not bear the sight of it. Buffo (which is the name of the little pig) from the first manifested an intense affection for the COW. Pansy's heart gradually softened toward the poor little porker and finally, to parody Mary and her little lamb. every place that Pansy went the pig was sure to go. Although in time the other live stock came to assume an attitude of benevolent neutrality toward Buffo, the dog was an exception. He frequently ehased Buffo for it's dear life, but after awhile 9ansy interposed in it's behalf and when Hector pressed Buffo too elogaIy would take the pig in her mouth and, lifting it high in the air, keep it there out Of harms way until the danger had passed. And now stress of circumstances has parted the loyal comrades. Mrs. Armour, who is no longer young, finding that caring for COW with her other duties was too much for her, sold Pansy to a farmer for much less than her value, provided that she should not be given to the butcher. When Buffo missed it's friend, which was very soon, it was inconsola- ble. It's squeals of grief could be heard all over the island. It has since then refused it's food and grows thin- her each day. It is probable that Mrs. Armour will sell or give Buffo away to the same farmer; otherwise the days of the affectionate little pig will have been numbered and a grave will be dug somewhere on Smiths island.

WHAT WAR HAS COST.
Calculated That 1, 1,aoo, ,ooo, 900 Men Have
 Been Sacrificed In Battle.

Beginning with the Trojan war, which Is usually regarded as the first chapter in European and Asiatie his
 tory, it is calculated that war has claimed 40,000,000 of men every cen tury. In Europe alone the loss of lives every 100 years since the date of that war has been between 18,000, ,000 and 20,000,000. Three thousand years have elapsed since that opening chapter Of history was enrolled, so that during those thirty centuries the almost in conceivable number of 1,200, 100000 men, women and children have been sacrificed to settle disputes concern ing some few miles of territory, to gratify the ambition of some monarch, or to soothe the wounded vanity of rulers and states. In the wars that Waged between 1793 and 1915 no few CT than 1,900,000 men were either killed outright or died from wounds or disease. In the campaign of 1928 the number was 120,000 In the Crt- mean war the losses sustained by the four countries which participated amounted to the terrible figure of 600,- 900. In 1859 the French and Austrian forces suffered to the extent of 63,000, while in the civil war in the United States the victims numbered 5000. The Franco-Prussian war caused the death of 290,0OO and the Turkish war meant death to 1S0,000 men. In order to show the fearful carnage that may be wrought In one battle, two instances in recent wars are cited. In the battle of Gravelotte, in 1870, the combined losses of the French and Germans were 44,000 men killed, and in the two chief attacks on the strong hold of Plevna, so gallantly defended by the Turks under Osman Pasha, the Russians and their allies lost 30,000 men, independent of those who died from wounds after the battles.

REGRET FOR TASTY JUDGMENT
Unfortunate Impression whicl. It Created
 Against an Innocent Boy.

Against Innocent Boy.
 T received a valuable lesson in talk ing snap judgment the other day" said retail merchant to a New Or leans Times-Demoerat man. "I had mahaged to get some paint on my hands from marking brush, and stepped into a hotel where am we'll known to wash it off. Before pro- ceeding with the scrubbing 1 took off my ring, which, as you see, is rather handsome solitaire, and hung it on the faucet. When went away for got to put it on, and didn't observe the fact until a quarter of an hour later, when I was in the place of friend several blocks away. Of course, rushed back immediately, and just as feared there was no sign of the ring in the lavatory. A porter happened to pass while was searching, and he told me that he had seen one of the bell boys take ring from the faucet moment or two before and at once slip out of the house by the back way. He gave me the name of the boy, and 1 started instantly to raise an alarm. AS I went through the office 1 told the clerk in a loud voice, audible to dozen people standing around, that the boy had stolen my ring, and I wanted him arrested on sight. Then 1 tore out and gave the same word to couple of policemen and some people l knew in the adjacent shops Inside of ten minutes I made a pretty thor oug1 tour of the neighborhood, tell ing\eyerybody to look out for the thief. Then I went to my store, hot and excited, and there stood the bell boy, with my ring in his hand. He had recognized it as my property, and came over at once to deliver it. Real ly, cannot describe my modification and chagrin. Here I had branded the poor little chap as thief and spread broadcast story that I can never wholly recall. Nobody can say how long an unjust suspicion will attach to him in the neighborhood as a conse- auence of my folly. I gave him $10 and have done what I could to repair the mischief. The lesson was one I shall never forget
