 HIDES BOY LOVER M THE ATTIC

Cleveland, O.-In order to escape ar rest Nicholas Zilk, Hungarian, was hidden for nearly week in an attic of house in East Fifty-seventh street. His sweetheart, whose name the po lice refuse to give, is said to have car ried meals to him every day.
 Zilk was wanted for violating the firearms ordinance He shot promiscu- ously in the street, it is claimed. He received information that the police were in search of him and disappeared. The police knew of his acquaintance with the young woman in the case. They came to the conclusion that she knew of his whereabouts and decided to force matters to an issue.
 Police went to the home in East Fifty-seventh street and asked for her. She denied that she knew of the where abouts of her suitor. The police in- sisted that they be given a chance to search the premises. This was ob jected to strenuously, both by the girl and by her employers.
 Surely there is no man in the house besides myself" declared the employer. But tks police began their search

WONDERFUL TENAclTY OF LIFE
Vital Spark Is Slow to Leave Its
 Human Tenement

The astounding tenacity with which life clings to the human body is a good thing to remember in these sum- mer days when the bathing resorts are taking their annual toll of human life. The case of Robert Mooney, re- ported by the life-saying service Of the third division, is a good illustra- tion of this fact, He was brought to terra firma after being under water for 23 minutes The life savers worked over him for an hour and three-quar- ters before the first sign of returning life was obtained, and he did not re- gain consciousness until the next day. If his body had been recovered by or dinary untrained men there is little question that he never would have re gained consciousness at all. After To or 20 minutes of artificial respiration hope would have been given up and the faint little spark of life which evi- dently remained allowed to die out for lack of perseverance. After the re- moval of water from the lungs arti- fcial respiration should be resorted to and continued for several hours if necessary, a physician of course be- ing summoned at once.

 Something very nice"
 Say the funny sentence again" she demanded

 Do translate it" she urged. Some day l will come back and translate it to you." Ralph said, avoid- ing her gaze.

Remember, we are on a see saw!"
 'Mollie, I want e tell you something Il am going to be wise for once, or rather 1 am going to try to be wise" ''Is it Very hard?"
 Yes, dreadfully.'' Yet you read Aristotle; and he was very wise man
 "Oh, yes, he was all that; but he

 What sort of thing?"
 This see-sawing sort of thing.' Wasn't that funny sentence from Aristotle?"
 ''Oh, mo-" An amused smile passed over the young mans face Aristotle never wrote anything so nice as that Tell me what the sentence means. and then-and then-and then you can let me down from the see-saw. Bu, you'll do it gently, won't youo' You understand what you are say ing, Mollie? You understand the whole of it?"
 She nodded her head
 He fixed his gaze upon her and be- gan translating slowly.

 What do you think?"
 "I can't think; it's all Greek to me" He looked away into the shadows. Ralph, what does sas agapo mean?" He slid dexterously nsarer the cen- ter Of the plank, allowing it tc balance till they were on level.
 Tt means you-I-love.'

NOW PRIDE OF NEW YORK zoo.
Big Constrictor's Appetite for Pets
 Led to It's Capture.


 The new boa constructor from Vene- zuela added to the New York Loolog- ical park is one of the largest of it's kind and has an interesting history. It, began, says the Geological Society Bulletin, with a series of depreda' uons about small Venezuelan town. stealing chickens, pet dogs, turkeys and occasionally a favorite cat. The visits of the reptile were invariably nocturnal and so irregular that it re- peatedly avoided capture At length the snake became a terror to house wives and watch was kept for it. It was finally captured by working a moose over its head and dragging 1t into box.
 When the Trinidad steamer ar rived at New York during one of the cold waves of early spring and the box was opened an apparently dead snake was revealed. 4 bathtub was quickly filled with water heated to 8 temperature of 100 degrees Fahren. heit. In this the snake was placed and it was energetically rAbbed and massaged. After half an hour, during which 1t showed no signs of life, the tail moved slightly. This was a good sign, showing the snake to be actually alive, though by no means sure to re cover, for with large snakes thorough ly chilled the lungs entirely collapse. If the dormant condition continues the lung tissue becomes so congested that the first inhalation coming witt the return of necessary warmth tears the delicate membranes, when there is an immediate hemorrhage and the reptile dies.
 This condition was feared with the Venezuelan boa, and the effect of the snakes first indrawn breath was watched with anxiety. Massaging brought the desired result. The snake was seen to take a deep breath and then exhale. It. Regular breathing followed showing the snake to be in good condition. It required a period of nearly ten days for the snake to re- gain it's normal vigor. Then it struck yiciously at whoever approached, evinc- ing every symptom of hearty interest in life. Along the body of the snake are numerous deep scars, telling a mute story of battles with denizens of the South American forest before they finally succumbed 10 its constructing powers.

Wasn't Taking Chances.

An automobilist, speeding along a country road at rapid clip, ran over and killed a chicken. When he re- turned the same way an hour later a man was standing in the middle ot the road, signaling excitedly for him to stop He brought the machine tc a standstill, and there lying on the roadside was the poor chicken whose life had been snuffed out. He was prepared for the worst, when the fol. lowing dialogue took place:
 May I ask, did you run over this chicken?"
 Yes, I'm the guilty party, but I am willing to pay for the damage. How much do you want?'
 70, that's all right. You see, before took the chicken home I wanted to make sure how it had been killed. If your automobile ran over it, guess it's good to eat"- Eyerybody's Maga. gina
