Some Pretty Strenuous Hazins.

John Symonds is studying dentistry
in a dental college at Portland.
Oregon, and together with the other
members of the freshman class was
compelled to submit to some mighty
rough hazing. As the story is related
to us the fifty members of the fresh
man class were taken on trolley caars
by the other students outside of the
city to an old barn. where they were
stripped of their clothing, shampooed
with limburger cheese, their bodies
painted in fantastic designs with in
delible ink. their feet put in warm
coal tar and fly paper stuck on them.
In this condition the perpetrators Of
the deed left them. taking their
special trolley car back to the city.
and the poor freshmen were compelled
to get back as best they could. 1t
was pretty tough on them, but we'll
bet bunch of fish hooks to a rusty
nail Johnny took his medicine with
out a whimper.

Death In a New Gulse.

In little village on the Hungarian
frontier not far from Presburg a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen $3.50 from her husband in
America. She promptly deposited it In
the local branch of the postoffice saw
ings bank and then the next day went
to withdraw the whole amount. The
bank official was somewhat surprised
and asked for an explanation, when
she said that Death had appeared to
her during the night and threatened to
take her away with him unless she had
the 400 kronen ready for him the next
night The gendarmerie were communi-
Gated with, and when Death made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive in the person OF the
local judge. The woman's money,
adds our Vienna correspondent who
sends the story, is still in the bank.
and the judge Is In jail.-Pall Mall Ga

Suicide at Fort Atkinson.

The citizens of Fort Atkinson were
shocked on Wednesday to learn that
John j. Martinez, proprietor of the
hotel at that place, had committed
suicide. The last seen of him alive
was at the hotel when he ordered two
early dinners for travelling men.
Shortly after noon his body was dis
covered by the switchman near the
railroad bridge just at the edge of
town, and beside him was a bottle
which had contained carbolic acid.
1t is supposed that he drank enough
of it to cause instant death, as there
were no signs of struggle. He was
congenial, jovial fellow, and his act
was great surprise TO everyone.

Denmark Original Of ThuIef

Was Denmark the original Thule, the
worlds end land Of the ancients, be-
yond which lay only the Sluggish sea
Pytheas Of Massilia, who was about
contemporary with Alexander the
Great, is believed by some to have
referred to what we now know as Jut-
land by this name; but, as there Is
nothing to show that Pytheas had
visited Thule himself, he was probably
rather vague about it. Since he seems
to have represented 1t as land of the
midnight sun, others have identified
It as Iceland or even Greenland, and
the Thule of the Irish monks OF the
ninth century A. ID. was certainly Ice
land. But the Thule of Tacitus, which
lay near the Orkney islands, must have
been part of the Shetlands.-London
Chronicle.

Factory Lighted BY Electricity.

The Calmar Mfg. Co. has had in

light plant, and the factory. Office and

abling the factory to run full time
during these short days 1t will not
only be great convenience for the
factory management, but is good

have to put up with only part OF a
days work and wages. This with
other improvements made, shows

Foolish to Quit.

''Why don't you buy it," asked her

to be reasonable, so why waste time

who Is well known in BostOn's social
circles observed that one Of her pro-

Too Warm for Fur Coats.

In spite of the inclement weather,
good many people took advantage
of Ben Bears fur sale Saturday to
look over the magnificent showing OF
over ninety feet of fur coats, packed
as closely as they could be, and quite
a number of sales were made. I'm
fortunately for Mr.. Bear, both days
of his showing this year proved to be
warm, and we think that he ought to
try it again, when he is sure of cold
weather. Fur coats and warm days do
not go we'll together.

Wonderful Waxmakina.

Bees gorge themselves with honey,
then hang themselves up in festoons or
curtains to the hive and remain quies-
cent for hours. After time wax
scales appear, forced out from the wax
pockets. The bees remove these scales
with their natural forceps. carry the
wax to the mouth and chew 1t for a
time, thus changing it chemically.
Thus it may be seen that waxmaking
is great expense to the colony, for 1t
costs not only the time Of the workers.
but It b estimated that twenty one
pounds Of honey are required to make
one pound Of wax.

TELLING the Bees.

The practice of telling the bees" of
death exists to this day in some
parts Of England
A year or two ago retired village
blacksmith in Norfolk told Mr. Cox
that he had made point of telling his
bees Of his wife's death Asked how
he told them. he said that he had rap
ped on the board supporting the hives
with the words, THE mistress Of this
house is dead" Asked what would
have happened If he had not told them.
he said they would have died
A few days ago Bedfordshire rec
tors gardener told Mr.. Cox that his
bees had actually died upon his failure
to inform them of his masters decease.

Blake No Sailor.

In his famous lyric Campbell links
Blake with mighty Nelson" and In
point of fame and character Blake is
not unworthy TO stand beside him
whom Tennyson calls 1.-The greatest
sailor since the world began" And
yet Blake was in no sense sailor. He
was fifty years of age before he put
foot on a man-of-war, and he stepped
without an interval from being colonel
of foot to being admiral of the fleet.
Early in 1919 parliament undertook to
reorganize the fleet, and it issued &
commission to three colonies, OF whom
Blake was one, to be "admirals and
generals of the fleet now at sea-" An
admiral in top boots and spurs seems
sufficiently absurd to the modern i'm
agination, but in the sea tactics or the
seventeenth century the men who
fought the ship and the men who sailed
1t were totally distinct,-Cornhill Maya

f. Chapman. Her childhood and youth
were spent with them, later she went to

flowers were sent from friends there dur
ing her illness. She returned here dur
ing the sickness and death of younger
sister to care for her, also at her fathers
illness and death she remained to be a
comfort to her sister.
Those who knew her most loved her
best. With unusual strength of charac-
ter, she adhered to what she believed to
be right. Although this world looked
bright to her and she would fain linger a
while longer, she thought her Heavenly
