The officer challenged the woman's
husband, who declined to fight,
whereupop the officer brought an
action against the woman for as
sault, and she was fined Al francs.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
"LittIe Peter" the Bird That Spends
His Life on the Water.

Little Peter is the real name OF
the petrol or bird that lives on the
sea. The harder the storm the bet
ter he likes it, and the more noise
the sea makes the louder he cries.
The sailors, who are all so jolly,
never like to meet a petrol. They
are so dismal in their coal BLACK
coats. and scamen think they bring
them i'll luck too.
You could not guess how the pet
rel sleeps. He first makes Of HIM
self feather ball and sits on the
water, just as your canary does on
his perch.
Why doesn't he sink? Because
his feathers are so oily he can't.
These birds grow so fat that to
the poor islanders in very cold coun-
tries they are invaluable. After they
are dead wick is drawn through
their bodies and set on tire, and You
can hardly believe how well this
queer kind of lamp lights up their
huts.
The petrol never goes on shore
except 10 build her nest, which IS
hidden snugly away between rocks
or in the sand. There she lays her
one egg and brings up her baby
All day the petrol lives on the wa
ter, but she never forgets at night
to feed it.
Sometimes petrels are called
'Mother Carey's chickens. If you
ever go across the water, you may
see them some day.-Montreal Star

How Turkish Children Are Trained.

Little Turks are trained to be SOL
diers, every inch Of them. A little
Turk eats whatever is given him,
obeys without murmur, works like
a horse at whatever task is set be-
fore him, walks till he drops down,
draws water for his own food, cuts
his own wood, takes care of his own
horse and sleeps on the ground with
out even giving the smallest sign of
impatience. He is even taught to
do this without moving a muscle OF
his face to show that he does not
like such hard work. What about
the little boys in civilized countries
who pout because they have to 60
on errands and who refuse to eat
porridge for breakfast?

WELL-DRESSED MEN.
More Rational Attention Being Given

Older men of the city note with graft
fication the better dressing and general
air of gentility carried by this genera

curacies are not the signs that be-
token a fresh epidemic of dudism. They
do not pOrtend an era OF fresh Beau

adage has been changed to read
Clothes make a man and want OF
them fellow"
On the conuaryfi they indicated that
there is a wholesome revival of that
personal care for ones appearance that
reveals the man as neither sIoven or

ing made to measureT at custom trade
prices and even more, the facilities of
the pressing clubs have been most re-
sponsible for this comraendable pride of
apparel But whatever is the honorable
reason for it needs to be encouraged
and applauded.

OF the amounts contributed by the
fraternities OF the United States of
course no attempt should be made to
return any money. The work of frater-

call upon the local organizations for re-
