hat may bear repeating comes from
Wellesley, Mass, noted for college,
and, until his recent death, for one
Solomon Flagg, who attributed his
.ourscore healthy years to the fact
that he had always used tobacco and
iquor-if the liquor was good.
Flagg was town clerk, historian and
the traditional wit Of the town meet
Ing. At one Of these March gather
lngs, the management Of the poor
farm was under criticism, and some
one had made bold to defend the
Superintendent, Robinson by name,
who was charged with being intoler-
ably lazy.
Flagg listened intently; then clear
ed his throat and thus addressed the
chair:
"Mr. Moderator: Our friend who
has taken his seat is an eloquent gent
and there may be some truth in his
remarks. But, Mr.. Moderator, in my
opinion, pair Of paper taps on the
soles Of Brother Robinson's shoes
would outuwear a leather patch on

Another oehiltree Story.

Among the anecdotes Of the late
Colonel Tom Ochiltree which are
floating through the papers just now,
the following is probably the best.
Colonel Ochiltree was capable Of tell.
ing some remarkable stories, when he
had a mind to. Once upon a time he
upset Lord Lonsdale, when that Eng
lishman was entertained here on his
way home from an expedition to
Alaska. His Lordship was regarded
by some of his admirers as wonder
full explorer. He was quite lion. A
dinner was given in his honor by
Hermann Oelrichs.
Well, Lord Lonsdale told many
thrilling stories, and an audible oh! "
went around the table when he finish
ed telling of petrified forest in Afri'
ca, in which he found number OF
petrified lions and elephants. AS the
Englishman lapsed into silence and
the applause sank to an echo, all look.
ed to Colonel Ochiltree to defend his
nationality and beat this petrified lion
story.
Texas" said the Colonel, after a
pause, "has its petrifled forest, but
although they contain no petrified
lions they are remarkable for having
petrifed birds flying over them"
NONSENSE" said Lord Lonsdale;
that is impossible. Such phenom-
enon is contrary to the laws of graVi-
tation."
"Ah, that's easily explained" re-
sponded Colonel Ochiltree, quickly.

Goose grease is being used by the
working classes in Germany as a sub
stitute for butter. One Berlin dealer
wants 100000 pounds per month, for
which he Is Offering 20 cents per

down the wild geese flocking every
winter to this state to supply the Ger
man demand for the fat. The Amer
