the North Downs are cleared there are wide
prospects Of moorland and wilderness not unlike
the sombre levels OF Yorkshire. When the

gay and brilliant. The heath Is no longer bleak

red purple and yellow. among which gleam the
white facades Of the chalk downs and the spark

Baby's Unconscious Charm.

Members Of the woman's club were
talking about babies.
II like them when they're pretty"
said the president.
II don't care especially whether they
are. pretty or not if only they're
bright" said the secretary, who was a
literary woman.
The club hostess smiled benignly.
She was spinster, and was therefore
without maternal prejudices.
It's all in the care of them" she
said. Il once had to take care of a
baby for two weeks. 1t was without
doubt the homeliest baby I had ever
seen-if anyone may apply that adjec-
tive to a baby-and it looked as dumb
as an owl in the daytime. 1t was
thrust upon me against my will and l
had the sole charge of it. At the end
of the two weeks thought it was the
most beautiful thing on earth and the
smartest child that had ever been
born. When its mother came to take
it away 1 felt deeply injured"

FIGHTS FLOCK OF
STARVING GULLS
MAN HAS DESPERATE BATTLE
WITH RAvENoUS BIRDS IN
ELLIOTT BAY, WASH.
FRENZIED BY SIGHT OF FOOD
Large Flock Attacks Food Launch
Brings to Ship and They Are
Only Driven Off by ScaId-
ing Steam.

Seattle, Wash.-Driven to despera'
ton by hunger and frenzied at the
sight of food, large flock of sea gulls,
usually the most peaceful and coward
ly of birds, attacked the launch Puget
in Elliott Bay the other afternoon,
and fer time threatened to defeat
the owner i'll his frantic attempts to
beat them back and save his deck
load of supplies. Beset on every side
with tearing, swooping gulls, the mas
ter of the launch, Capt. Roy Lillico,
fought desperately until almost eX-
hausted, and would have suffered no
little damage to person and craft had
he not by inspiration made use of a
unique continuance to beat back and
drive away the starving birds.
The severe storms of the last few
weeks have driven the gulls to shell
ter in the harbor, and not in ten years
before have there been such flocks of
them swarming over the bay as at the
present time. There has in con-
sequence been a shortage or
food for the birds and they have re-

to keep alive. There were hundreds
of them in the stream when LillicO
took his launch from the foot of Mad
iSon street and started for the French
bark Desaix
The forward deck of the launch was
covered with parcels containing
oranges, grapes and other fruits. The
Desaix had almost been reached when
the captain noticed a large swarm Of
gulls lowering about the launch and
following it in it's course. Suddenly
one of them swooped down, and, max
ing dive at one of the parcels on the
deck, tore open the paper cover. An
orr nge rolled out and the famished
birds clutched at it and attempted to
carry it away. In an instant he was
the center of a horde of other gulls,
fighting to possess the orange. Their
shrill cries of excitement and rage
summoned other docks of birds and

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate "Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named if the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
"agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare holly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.
