There is story going the rounds
of the eastern press that, following
the introduction in the Minnesota
legislature Of the measure prohibit
ing the marriage OF women past the
age of 45, a widows protective
league has been formed.
Nonsense! There are no widows
over 45, and if there were they
would not need protection from so
gallant a body of men as the Mime
sofa Legislature. OF course, the silly
measure will not be made into law.
And if it were it would be promptly
killed by the courts. There is no
disposition on the part of the public
to prevent the widow or any other
lady from seeking her natural prey
at any season of the year in this
state.
The only possible modification
that would have a chance of passage
would be a bill making "a closed
season" on mani. G., that it would
not be lawful for ladies over 10 to
hunt for their natural prey from Oc-
tober to May. This would give man
a fair chance and would not be con-
sidered tyrannous or unreasonable
by any fair minded person.-lIinne-

Fencing a farm with steel is

"About 20 saws are worn ont

TRAINED ANIMALS.

When you go to a trained animal
show, watch carefully and you will
see that the trainer always gives his
animals some sign as well as the
word of command. They look for
this sign more than for the word.
Horses and mules must have this
sign or "they won't play" The
best trainers say that mule has
more intelligence than Il horse, al
though he doesn't look it.
1t is likely that the reason why
birds are so difficult to train is be-
cause they have small brains. A
woman once tried to teach an owl
to wear a cap and spectacles and sit
still behind an open book, but the
job nearly drove her crazy, for ii
was too much for his rcputed Wis
dom to learn even to do nothing.
A man that had one of the best
collections Of trained birds ever
seen had for the star of the troupe
an immense green parrot that walk
ed a tight rope. How he taught it
this trick was always a wonder until
after his death it was found that the
parrot was an automaton, moved 10y
clockwork and balanced by weights
A pig may be taught more tricks
than any other animal. He may be
taught to count, to select colors and
to pick out people, but he probably
obeys his masters signs in doing all
this.-Little Chronicle.

A "LrTTLn WOMAN. WAS LOST.

One day in Boston many years
ago little girl wandered away from
home. She was missed and sought
for everywhere in vain. At last her
mother went to james Wilson, the
city crier, and soon that official was
going about the Boston streets ring
ing bell and describing the little
girls dress and calling her name.
Child lost! Child lost" he said
again and again as he shook his big
bell. The little girl was lying asleep
IN an alleyway, and, being awaken
ed BY the bell and the name, 'Lou-i-
sa Al-eott." she sprang TO her feet
and said sleopily, "That means me-"
And so il did. The little girl grew
up and became the author of Git

How the Late p. ID. Armour Re-

Some years ago, when Armour &
Co. undertook to introduce their
soap manufactures in the east, a
representative Of the firm was sent
TO Philadelphia with large quanti-
ty Of goods. He advertised for ped
dlers to distribute the soap. Among
those who responded to the adyer-
tisement was a white haired man
who had been peddling in the streets
Of that city for years.

go to California in 1919 to hunt for

The venerable peddlcr was given
an opportunity to see what he could
do in the way of selling soap made
bv his former apprentice, but he
was not much Of a success. When
the representative returned to Chi

When the old man got the pres

wrote, saying he did not wish TO re-
ceive charity even from his former
"bound Lor' and asked if there was
not a job somewhere about the place
at which he could work to earn
living honestly. Mr. Armour told
him he had no work for orc - old,

FoR THE LITTLE oaEs.
A Game Tint Is l7uil of Fun
and Also Instructive.

Here is a game that will give
young people as jolly a half hour as
they could ask for. Ii may be call
ed "the clements" The players are
equally divided, with captain for
each side. The sides take seats op-
posite to each other, and one Of the
captains is chosen by lot to begin
the game.
This he does by taking a knotted
handkerchief and throwing it at
one of the players on the opposite
side, calling out at the same time
earth" "Waterp "Airp or
'Tirew
If he calls "Earthw the player
into whose lap the handkerchief has
fallen must name some quadruped
before the captain can count ten; if
he calls "Waterw the player must
name fish; if "Air" he must name
a bird, and if "Firew he must re-
main perfectly silent.
If a player fail to name an ami
NAL or name the wrong one or
speak when he should remain silent,
he drops out of the game, and the
captain then takes the handkerchief
and throws it at some one else on
the players side.
If, on the contrary, the player an
swers properly, he must throw the
handkerchief at some one on the
opposite side, calling out one of the
elements and counting ten, as the
opposing captain had done.
The game goes on in this way UNI
til all the players on one side have
dropped out, when, of course, the
victory goes to their opponents.
This is a simple game, but it is
full of fun from beginning to end.
And it has its helpful features, too,
for a successful player must be alert
and quick witted and must have his
tongue in as good training as his
wits. The fun-and plenty of it.
is made by the absurd mistakes that
the necessity for quick answering
gives rise to.

TIE EnEpmRoR,s pAnT.

An exceptionally good story,
which has the advantage Of being
true, is circulating in parliamentary
quarters in Berlin. When the En-
peror William informed Herr Won
Bulow at Homburg that he was now
imperial chancellor, Herr Won Bu-
low naturally expressed his delight,
and perhaps he really was delighted.
But all at once he seemed to be con-
sidering something, and the cmper-
or, perceiving this, said, "What is
the matter now, Bulow?' The lat
ter answered that he had just
Glanced to think Of his wife. She
had nothing against the chancellor
ship, but a great deal against the
chancellor's palace, for while her
present home was a regular little

Wake ofToo Much ventilation.
When il comes to tho Eauop Of
ventilation, the woman theorist
shines. If, indeed, she has thought
about it enough to have theory at
all-and many haye-sho does moth
ing short of scintillating. AS a con-
sequence, more persons die every
year from too much fresh air than
the record from vitiatod atmosphere
can show. Not one person in a hum
dred can sleep in the winter time
with an open door in his room
without bad consequences, or at
least without running dangerous
risks. Many more cases OF pneu-
monia may reasonably be said to be
due to "ventilation" than to all oth-
er causes combined. | recall the
death of trained nurse wnilc on
duty in the home of a neighbor from
pneumonia contracted from Sleep
ing near an open window. AS a
graduate of one of the leading train
ing schools she had thoroughly
studied the subject Of ventilation
under supposedly intelligent pro-
fessors. Yet she died in her youth
