10 the original-not without some mis-
Sivings, and under the escort of a prop

WOman-and COnversed with her at
length. strangely enough drawing forth
few aphOrisms that Mrs. Bass dug
up from her later views Of the world.
Among these treasures that fell from
the Old lady's lips. Miss Chapman gath
cred the following:
If the truth was told about the d.
vorces that's got in this here world by
TOOL women, mans job ought to be

The Kindness " the Poor.

The old adage that the poor are the
best friends OF the poor was instanced
IN the story Of a chambermaid, who is
young widow with two children to
support. After a lingering sickness the
younger Of the children died, and, the
young mothers bank account having
been depleted from defraying the ex-
penses Of the weeks Of medicine and
doctors visits, she was obliged to con
tract a debt at the undertaker's. After
that she paid a small monthly install
ment until the bill was half settled,
when one day there came through the
mail a receipt for the remainder. The
receipt was accompanied by a badly
written and blotted note from a scrub
woman in a large uptown hotel, who
knew of the trouble, knew the family
and the circumstances and in her note
explained that she had no family moi
near relatives and that she earned
enough to support herself and that she
wanted to use this surplus money for
the little mother, who needed all that
she could make extra to support the
remaining child. As scrubwomen re,
ceive only SO or IS cents a day, one
will readily appreciate the spirit which
moved n kind soul to help another

PRECIOUS JOHN DAvY.

Childhood Incident Of the Author Of
'The Bay Of Biscay."
An interesting anecdote of the youth.
Of John Davy, who composed the IA
nous song ''The Bay Of Biscay," shows
how decided and precocious was this
musicians aptitude for the art he ulti-
mately practiced with artistic If not
financial success. John Davy was born
near Exeter in 1895. At the age Of six
he evinced a passion for music, which
he sought every means Of gratifying.
He wal in want Of a musical instru-
ment and determined to provide him
self with mi Of however rough a ma
ture. So from a neighboring smithy
he purloined twenty to thirty horse
shoes. From these he selected as many
as formed a complete octave and, hav-
ing suspended them in an upper room,
amused himself by initiating upon
them the chimes of the neighboring
church Of Creditor.
BY these and other means he obtain
ed a knowledge of music which some
thirty years later enabled him to pro-
duce many dramatic pieces and such
songs as "Just Like Love-" '.The Death
Of the .Smuggler'' and 1.-THE Bay Of
Biscay," only the last Of which has re-
NAMED popular. &
After twenty years work In London
Davy died in st. Martins lane in 1924.
He was buried in st. Martins church
yard.-London Chronicle

What Words Can Do.

"UUS vvOToV N&u TO-
ANY M who swears," declared the
bishop Of Carlisle, "manifests the beg
.garliness Of his vocabulary" The Con-
cord Patriot puts it in this fashion:
people swear because they do not
know the possibilities Of plain Eng
.lish or have not the skill to manipulate
1T so that it will yield the amount Of
fire they want. You can do almost
anything with common words. No
matter how tame and lifeless they
look standing in stupid rows as IL
they didn't know enough to come in
when it rained, they can be made to
dance like imps, to frolic like fairies,
to float angelwise on light wings, to
glow like fire spirits. They can do
things that make the ordinary bits Of
profanity look like feeble scarecrows
stiffened up with a fence stake. The
cure for observation-disclosures and edu-
Gators please make a note-is merely
wit enough to handle your words SO
that swearing will seem like baby talk
in comparison"

Tho Wonderful Ability Of Swine to Live
Without Food.

The Wonderful Ability Of Swine to Live
Without Food.
Very few people have any idea Of
how long swine can live without food,
although much has been said about the
quantity they can consume. But, be-
lieve me, piggie is a record breaker
when it comes to living without any
thing at all to eat. 40.
The incident that I am about to re-
late occurred in Michigan and very
well illustrates what I have above
stated.
IA farmer who had driven a large
number of hogs into a settlement to
sell after reaching his destination miss
ed a fine black SOW. Search was made
in every conceivable place without dis"
covering anything Of the missing pork
er.
Weeks passed by, and the farmer had
given up all hope Of eve recovering
his lost or stolen property when to his
surprise it was found in the cellar Of
an old abandoned house.
As the house was situated at the edge
Of the road over which he had driven
the hogs, it is supposed that she fell
through the rotten flooring upon which
she had stepped at some moment when
the farmers eyes had wandered in an
other direction.
When brought up she was a pitlable
sight. The skin hung in folds upon her
poor, unpadded bones.
Food was given her in small quaint.
ties at first, and it was not long before
she entirely recovered from her long
fast.
On referring to the books recording
the sale of the rest Of the stock it was
learned that three months lacking five
days had elapsed, showing that she
had sustained life without ,nourish'
ment for as long a period as the &C
credited alternating animals. New
