TRUE TO HIS INSTINCT
- Bernard Dog sprane Into ManhoIe
to Rescue Child.


Ralph Johnson, son Of a New
Orleans street pedler, had the honor
Of being saved by st. Bernard dog
to whom he was an utter stranger.
The story is told by the Bay City
Times
At Valence street and st. Charles
avenue sewerage is being construct
%. When the workmen quit the well
for the day the manhole was left
open. Mrs. Johnson, with her boy,
8 years old and wearing dress,
were in the vicinity, the mother try
ing to sell laces.
While the mother had gone to a
on the sidewalk for a while, and then
walked to the manhole and peered
into it. Accidentally he fell in. The
child screamed loudly for help, but
being about six feet under the ground,
no one heard the cries
Just at this time an old milkman
passed With him was a great st
Bernard dog. The dog heard the
cries of the child, and for a second
could not locate them. The child
cried again, and this time the dog
plunged into the well and seized the
child's clothing in its mouth.
The dog held the little boy above
the water until both dog and child
were hoisted out of the manhole by
passersby. The dog then trotted
along after the old milkman as though
saving az child's life were an every.
day occurrence.

TOO MANY RED BELLS.

Clever ideas are sometimes expen-

Bennett, who was formerly in the

Opera company of Juvenile "Pinafore"

cost me $4,000 at least. How much

how it happened. We had been keep
ing out the juvenile 'Pinafore' COM
pany for several years with great sue
cess. then decided to put The
Chimes of Normandy on the road
with the same juvenile company. On
account of the copyright we called the
opera The Bells of Corneville.'
Searle, who was then the big theatri-
cal printer in Boston, was getting out
the paper for us.
ITO Searle | said, Give us nothing
but paper with red bells on it, and In
white letters on the bells the name
of the opera 1t was all done on half
sheets, so that on a twentwfour sheet
stand there would be forty-eight red
bells that you could see two blocks
away. He agreed with me that 1t was
great idea, stroke of genius.

fore we went to town those red bells

body came to see our show.

He must ride like the knights of old;
To tourney and tilt. with good right
hand.
That cleaves to the hilt for the love O

And here's TO the soldier bold
Who is pure of thought and action,
Who is ready to serve his age,
Who cares for the thing he doeth,
And not for the soldiers wage
Deep unto deep, it calleth.

Splendid and strong is the century's song
Valor and love to the. battle throng.
And it may not pass you by
From East to West It's sounding,
The call for the brave and true,
o lads with pulses bounding,
That cry is meant for you.
Wherever the need is greatest,
Wherever the i'll is worst,
over the cityis thousands thick
over the deserts of stone and brick
over the lands accurst.

Bitter with want and woe,

Sees Profit in LIamas.

A visitor to the Geological Gardens
a few days ago made so many and so
pertinent inquiries about the llamas
kept there that the curiosity of the
keeper in charge of that particular
part of the garden was aroused, says
the Philadelphia Press.
He finally asked why the questions
were being asked. The man, who re-
fused to give his name, said that, II
he could get the animals at anything
like reasonable figure. he thought OF
making the experiment of stocking his
ranch in the West with them. From
letters written to South American
friends, he said, he had learned that
he could probably get a sufficient
number for the experiment at a cost
of not more than $50 each As they
are fairly good wool growers, he said
that there ought TO be more profit in
them at this price than the same num-
Der of sheep. In his opinion, the
fleece OF the llama is as good as that
of the camel for manufacturing pur-
poses.

walked away and had gone only a

returning to the dead body he raised
the stone and with it smashed the

February is month of severe storms
and intense cold.
X en- in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
latitudes, February brings sudden
changes OF temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 90 degrees
in single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
DIET
The diet should be a generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Clofhi1G.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Qs-ru.na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precsufioa.
When seized with chill, or even
slight chilliness, dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.

TREAcHERous soos OF PEAT.
Swollen With Rain, They Have Often
Done Immense DAMAGE.

There is an ancient and grewGome
tradition connected with the story of
the battle of Solway This battle was
fought on the "debatable" borderland
between England and Scotland in the
year 1912. A troop of horsemen heav-
lily mounted and heavily armored was
put to rout In the panic of their
flight they ran headlong into peat
bog. The bog trembled beneath the
feet of their charges and then opened
and swallowed them, horses and
horsemen, arms and armor. To sup
port this tradition, more than 200
years later. at the end of the eight
eepth century. digger of peat came
upon one of the troop-a man and his
horse, both in complete armor and
preserved from total decay by the an
tiseptic qualities of the peat. Another
story of that peat bog of the Solway
firth is that in November, It'll, the
bog, surcharge6 with the moisture of
heavy rains, rose, swelled and burst
like torrent. sweeping along with
it trees and houses and destroying
thirty small villages. That Irish bog
which slithered and slid just the 9TH

and driving men and beasts before 1t,

Beneath the twinkling stars.
