According to the Butler Times boy

young men against all the girls who
turned them down for the sake of the SOL
diers when the sixteenth was encamped
there. over $50 signatures have been
obtained to a pledge to have nothing TO
do with any girl who associated with the
soldiers. The agreement holds for one
year. The paper states that the girls
were very independent OF the home boys
while the soldiers were on hand, and
that now they ran get along without mas

We haven't noticed them ourselves,
but those who are given TO "seeing
things" report the flight of wild geese
toward the southland within the past
few days. The geese usually fly in a "
shape, which manner /, accounted for by
one who preIends to know, because the
arrangement permits each bird to follow
the leader with the least resistance.
When the leader becomes tired he takes
place in the rear and another moves up
and takes his place. In this manner
each bird at some time of the flight be-
comes the leader OF the flock.

From al parts of the country come
reports of unusual gorgeous sunsets. So
brilliant are some of them as to cause
Scientists declare that the magnificent
display of color in the evening sky is
caused by volcanic dust in the highest
strata OF the atmosphere and their ex-
PLANTATION seems very plausible because
they predicted gorgeous sunsets this
winter soon after the eruption of Mount
Pelae. How the volcanic dust causes the
suns rays to color the sky so beautifully
is one of the mysteries yet to be ex-
planned. The dust evidently acts like Il
prism and decomposes the white light Of
the sun into the prismatic ooors.
