The other night while taking off
his shoes before going to bed a Rocky
Ford man lost his balance and in
falling broke his arm. The question
now before the public is, what was
his position or what his condition
when the accident occurred. If he
was standing on one foot and holding
the other in his hand in his efforts
to unlace his shoe, and lost his
balance, he was a fool. If he was
seated on chair as a well bred
gentleman should be taking off his
shoes. or sitting on the side of the
he'd, the usual place for lobster
sit when undressing his feet. and
lost his balance. he must surely
have been loaded with booze. In
either case he received his proper
reward To prevent similar accidents

TELLER AND
Beauests to Animals

OF bequests to animals few may be
mentioned. In 1871 a peasant of Tou-
louise made his horse his heir. Doctor
Cristiano of Venice left 5000 forins
for the maintenance of his three dogs,
with a condition that at their death
the capital sum should be handed over
to the University of Vienna.
A Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter, in 1913, left
$50 pounds a year to her parrot, and
the Count of Mirandola bequeathed
a legacy to a pet carp
Lord Chesterfield left a sum for the
support of his favorite cat, so also did
Frederick Harper, who settled $625 on
his young black cat" the interest to
be paid to his house keeper as long as
the cat should remain alive.
The most singular OF these wills,
however, was that of Mr.. Berkeley
of England. who died in 1905. He left
s155 to four of his dogs. During jour-
ney through France and Italy this gen
tleman, being attacked by brigands,
had been protected and saved by his
dog; the four animals he pensioned by
his will were the descendants of this
faithful friend. Feeling his end near,
Mr.. Berkeley desired that two arm
chairs might be brought to his bed
side and his four dogs seated on them;
then he received their last caresses,
which he returned with the best of
his falling strength.

THE POET
The Stormy Petrol

A thousand miles from land are we,
Tossing about on the roaring sea;
From bi1low to bounding billow cast.
Like heecy snow on the stormy blast;
The sails are scattered abroad like
weeds;
The strong masts shake like quiverins
reeds;
The mighty cables. and iron chains
The hull, which all earthly strength
disdains.
They strain and they crack. and hearts
like stone
Their natural proud strength disown.
Up and down. Up and downl
From the base of the wave to the bill
lows crown,
And midst the flashing and feathery
foam
The Stormy Petrol finds home
A home, If such a place may be,
For her who lives on the wide. wide sea,
On the craggy ice, IN the frozen air,
And only seeketh her rocky lair,
To warm her young. and to teach them
to spring
At once Ger the waves on their stormy
wing. Barry Cornwall
