puzzled biologists, and that Is notori-

captivity, this being that nearly all the,

that country have CLEFT palate, which
prevents them from being properly
sucked, and usually leads to their
premature death. But, beyond this,
more astonishing fact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biolcgists-is
that which determines that Of all the
wild animals born in England those
born in Bristol are regarded as the
finest and as the most likely to live.

Man Fooled His Wife on the Price,
But the Result Was Sad.
Banks knew very well that he could
not afford to pay $40 for pair OF
shooting boots, but he reasoned with
himself, after the sophistical manner
OF those who knew the joys at ex-
travagance, that his twice-a-year trip
to his Long Island club for two days
OF duck shooting was really the only
luxury he allowed himself; and his
economies in other directions deserV-
ed reward.
So Banks bought the boots, and
told his wife nice little story about
a friend who had struck a bargain In
boots and had let him have a pair
for practically nothing."e The boots
We're not worth much anyhow, he
carelessly explained, and congratulate
ed himself on having safely and
sagaciously handled a delicate situa-
ton.
When Banks came back from his
next shooting trip he was tired and
sleepy, and threw his new boots, all
muddy as they were, into closet, to
be cleaned when he should have more
energy.
"And what do you think happened
to those hootJ!" he said two days
later to e group of sympatheti:
friends on change. "A Junk peddler
cam. around the next day and my
wife sold him my $50 boots for fifty
cents. She knew they we're of no

thought she'd done well to get fifty
cents for them"
