There is a certain couple who de- cided to separate awhile ago, It seemed that they were not affinities. after all, and life together was unen- durable, so the wife packed up Ter be- longings and was preparing for a trip home. At the time of parting she picked up their little pet dog and tucked him under her arm, while her other managed the suit case.
 Why, you're not going to take Trixy!" exclaimed the husband
 Of course I am," she announced. q couldn't live without him."
 Well. I cant let tho little fellow go." he insisted.
 And I simply won't leave him." she declared.
 So they argued for half an hour, al the end of which she decided to stay, and unpacked to cook dinner, at which Trixy was the guest of honor

 He had been told of his death, and the marriage of his wives to the old man who owned the gas bag, and he wouldn't have it that way.
 He knocked some of his wives down and some tainted away, and then he started for the man who had usurped him in the affections of his 60 wives.

CAUSE AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are cer tain to follow continued use of improp- CT food
 Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion.
 Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and Effect. in their daily food N Y young wom- an writes her experience thus:
 Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to di- gest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed useless.

 Well, he made good all right. We went on to camp and got our hippos put to bed and fed the lions and tigers, and were just sitting down to our evening meal, when there was a roaring sound off where Pa had sur rounded the elephants, the air was full of dust and the ground trembled, and we could see the whole herd of about 40 wild elephants charging on our camp, believing and making a regular bedlam.
 When the herd got pretty near us, we all climbed trees, except the ne gro husband and his wives, and they took to the jungle.
 Say, those animals did not do a thing to our camp. They rushed over the tents laid down and rolled over our supper which was spread out on the ground. tipped over the cages containing the animals we had cap tured, found the gasoline barrel and filled their trunks with gasoline and squirted it all over the place, and rolled the gasoline on the fire, and away the elephants went with gaso line fire pouring out of their trunks into the woods, believing, and when the dust and smoke cleared away, and we climbed down out of the trees and righted up the cages, here came Pa astride a zebra, playing on mouth organ, "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight" which had fright ened the elephants into a stampede
 MT. Hagenbach stopped Pas zebra and Pa said: Didn't you catch any of them? I steered 'em right te camp, and thought you fellows would head 'em off, and catch few
 never saw Mr Hagenbach mat before He looked at Pa as thougf he could eat him alive, and said Well, old man, you have raised tht duece on your watch, sure enough. And then Pa complained because sup per was not ready. Gee, but Pa i: getting more gall all the time.

EXCHANGE COMMENT.
ALnnltY In statIstIcs.

Mark Twain once wrote why
is II we always rejoice at a birth
and grove at a funoral?" And then
he answered by declaring, Because
We are not the person involved"
That Is the Anglo-Saxon interpreta'
ton of what the French folk desig-
nate a hon mot which is not pro-
nounced in French like 1t Is spelled
in English.
Both births and deaths are big
events. They are closely related, the
connecting link being as long as the
allotted life, Both are worth noting,
Both are worth recording.
Texas has law requiring reports
of deaths and births being made to
the clerks OF the various counties Of
Texas. Certain persons are designat-
ed by this law to make these reports.
This law, while not exactly in a
state OF innocuous desuetude, Ia oh
served as often in the breach as In
the observance. These acts Of omis-
sion on the part OF those whose duty
II Is to make reports OF births and
deaths do not grow out of any desire
To defeat the ends OF the law. For
getfulness and carelessness are the
contributing elements that are gov
erning the nonobservance Of this
law. 1t Is necessary that the mum

known il we would know how our

Paris, Aug. IA semi-ottlcial
statement Issued here today declares
the situation in Indo China, as de-

among other things, that a rerolu-

that during the last few months one
hundred native soldiers had been

French Officers killed. As a mat
ter OF fact the entire strike situa-

practically at an end, and the inte-
rior situation is not serious. Only
