Mr.. Long doubtless got the hint of
his ridiculous book from Mr. Thomp-
son-seton's story of the crow, where
in he speaks of a certain old'pine woods
as the crows fortress and college,:
"Here they find security in numbers
and in lofty yet sheltered perches, and
here they begin their schooling and
are taught all the secrets of success
in crow life, and in crow life the least
failure does not simply mean begin
again. 1t means death. Now the
idea was a false M before Mr.. Long
stole it, and he has pushed it to such
length that it becomes simply ridicu-
lous. There is not a shadow of truth
in it. It is simply one of Mr.. Thomp-
son-Seton's strokes of fancy. The
crows do not train their young. They
have no fortresses, or schools, or col
leges, or examining boards, or diplo-
mas, or medals of honor, or hospi-
tails, or churches, or telephones, or
postal deliveries, or anything of the
sort. Indeed, the poorest backwoods
hamlet has more Of the appur-
~tenanees of civilization than the best
| organized crow or other wild animal
community in the landl-John Bur

SLOW ABOUT "PoPPING.D
Very Great Haste to Propose
Marriage.

"Man proposes" begins the old PROV.
erb, but it is very apparent to those
who are watching the signs of the
times that he doesn't propose nearly
so often as he used to. One can't
help seeing that the good old insti-
tuition of matrimony is regarded with
less favor by young men than was the
case a few decades ago, says an OBJ
servant contemporary.
AWhatever the reason, the remedy
should be discovered, and applied with
out delay, provided, there is one. Three
theories are advanced to account for
the modern popularity of celibacy: The
increased cost Of living, the lower
wages of mem, because of feminine
competition, and the greater comfort
of bachelor life, through the spread Of
apartment houses. To these may be
added a fourth reason, the growing
independence of young women, who
have ceased to regard matrimony as
the supreme end and aim of existence"
says the Housekeeper.
No discussion of the subject can ig-
more the part played by the bachelor
girl. The potency of a woman's will
sinks into insignificance by compar-
ison with a woman's won't" and it
takes two to make a match, as well as
q quarrel. 1t is interesting to note the
Il offered by bachelors them
selves for. their unfortunate condition.
"Can't find an old-fashioned girl"
writes one poor old fellow to the ed
itor. 'Girls' heads nowadays T filled
with scraps of poetry and science, and
things they've learned at women's
clubs. After all, when you come right
down to it, marriage should be the
most practical thing in all the world.
It's sweetened by a favor of romance,
and the better for it. But the kind Of
wife most men in moderate circum-
stances want is the one who can keep
house, phrase that comprises n whole
science in itself"
This practical bachelors vigorous
declaration may be condensed into a
few lines:
A wife filed with ideals
Seldom to man appeals.
He likes to feel
That some one real
Will superintend his meals.
1t is a common complaint, this, from.
bachelors, that the practical girl, the
girl who knows how to do things, can
not be found among their acquaint-
ances.

A Queer Case.

John Spencer, the well known and
popular land man of Mlnot met with a
rather peculiar circumstance one
night while sleeping at his boarding
house. John awoke IN the night and
found himself in a pool of blood. In
some manner while he was asleep an
incision a quarter of an inch wide had
been made OF his breast, and he be-
lieves he was stabbed with something.
The flow of blood was stopped with
great difficulty, but he feels no ill
effects from his experience.

though one bullet is lodged in til mus
Gle. of her left shoulder. The shooting

water and the passengers stepped out
for fresh air.
Nels fired his twenty-five into the

county farmer, got out of his Darn and
were covered by hugh snow drift close
to the barn and near the edge of his
grove. BY hard work he succeeded
in getting all his stock back into the
barn except a hog, which weighed
about 800 pounds. The animal could
not be found, and for three days the
farmer and his hired man shoveled
snow in the vicinity of the barn in an
effort to rescue it. The other day
Donahue was surprised to find his
long-lost hog, which was alive and
well Notwithstanding that for a pc
Rod of As days it had remained a
prisoner under a snow drift without a
particle of food. When discovered af-
ter its long Imprisonment the animal
weighed only sixty pounds, but was
full of vigor and wild as a hawk.

"A FIREMAN'S ADVICE.
Don't jump from y burning Building
Until Rescue Is Utterly ~
Impossible.

Were you ever caught in a fire?
Pray that you never may be, but if
you ever are one of the unfortun-
ates, heed this advice given by the
veteran Chief Swingley, of the ST..
Louis fire department., who says that
in 40 out of every so cases where per-
sons jump from burning buildings
and are killed or injured they would
be rescued if they waited until the
arrival of the firemen, says the Wash
ington Star.
What persons should do if cut off
from escape is to shut the door Of
the room in which they are and make
for the nearest window. The best
way is to crawl. There is always a
space next the floor where the air
is good. Smoke always rises. I don't
care if a building is filled with dense
smoke, a windowscan be reached by
crawling and keeping the head close
to the floor. Persons should get on
the outside of the window. The
room may be filled with fire, but it
will take some time before the fire
reaches them. Persons should wait
until their clothes catch fire before
jumping. 1t is almost sure death to
jump.
Burning buildings do not fall i'm
mediately. They are generally burn
ing at least half an hour before they
begin to fall. Even if the building
does begin to fall, the portion where
II is may. not fall. Of course, when
persons are placed in great danger,
minutes seem like hours. The en-
gines get to fires in the majority of
cases within a few minutes after the
alarm has been given. Another thing
that I am reminded of is the fact Of
how few persons know the location
of fire alarm boxes nearest to their
residences, and how to give an alarm.
Everyone should familiarize himself
with the location of the box and how
to turn in an alarm"
