POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT

The police department received a
call sent from way out over the rail
road tracks, saying that q man out
there had come home drunk and was
giving his wife a terrible boating.
Patrolman Bob Burke made a quick
run TO the scene OF battle and found
the man with his shirt torn off his
back and his wife with her arms
tightly clasped around his neck plead
ing with him not TO leave her.
The man had threatened 10 jump
into the river and in her attempts to
hold him from doing so his wife had
torn the shirt of his back.
The patrolman had hardly reached
the station before another call was
received. carrying the information
that the woman had taken poison and
a doctor was needed Immediately. The
patrol wagon was called and a full
squad of policemen were sent to the
place. When they arrived there they
found the woman singing and busily
wiping the supper dishes. She knew
nothing about the police being called
and was very much surprised when
they made their second appearance.
She said that after the first visit of
the police she had tainted and 1t was
thought that some oyer-zealous person
took the opportunity 10 make a stir.

breaking Away From WorI,.

Our business men ought to break
away from trade exactions long before
they do-ought to do so as a matter of
volition and ethical judgment rather
than Of physical necessity. They ought
to get and give more enjoyment in life.
They ought to do less for self and more
for others. They ought to live more in
books and more in the open and less
at their desks and realize better health
and longer lives as a result. More and
more culture in all its forms is exer-
cising a growing influence, which must
manifest itself in lessened effort along
the lines Of money getting and the de-
vot1on of more time on the part of our
business men to the pursuits which
naturally accompany fortified leisure.

THE USEFUL SWALLOWS.
Light Cavalry Of the Avian Army and
Friends Of the Farmer.

Light Cavalry Of the Avian Army and
Friends Of the Farmer.
From the standpoint Of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry OF the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and un-
sxcelled III aerial evolutions, they have
few rivals In the art of capturing in
secta in midair. They eat nothing Of
value to man except few predaceous
wasps and bugs and in return for their
services In destroying vast numbers of
noxious insects ask only for harboFage
and protection.
1t is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their pc
0uliar value to the cotton grower Is
due. Orioles do royal service in catch
ing weevils on the bolls, and black
birds, wrens, fycatchers and others
contribute to the good work, but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weevils flying
I'm the open and wage active war
against them. AS many as forty-seven
adult weevils have been found In the
stomach Of a single cliff swallow

The American Youth.

If the truth were told most young
American men are not especially inter
esting. They do not keep up their
reading. They have a national OBJ
tundity when it comes to music, to art,
to literature, nor do many Of them
take any Of these things at all serious
y. The young among them are not
good onversationalists. Our cleverest
men are monologists pure and simple.
They lecture admirably. They are
born orators along modified lines. They
are inevitable story tellers. None OF
this Is conversation, and women hike
conversation, like its courtesies, which
ct least pretend little interest when
their turn comes in the game. Knowl-
edge Of people and affairs outside our
own country pricks more than one
bubble about our young men.-Anna

TIDES AND FISHING.
PiSh Are More Active In Search Fer
Food on the Flood Tide.

Food on the Flood Tide.
The most essential thing In sea fish
Ing, next to tackle and bait, is tide
table, because all marine fishes ex-
cept the dattish-founder and fiuke-
are captured more readily at certain
tide. The main cause for such Is that
fish are more active in their search
for food generally on the flood tide.
Vast schools of little fishes move
close into shore on the incoming tide,
working their way into the smaller
bays and inlets, especially near the
edge of banks, where they feed on
the small crustaceans, shrimps and lit
tie minnows that can effectually hide
from their larger enemies when the
tide is low and the large fish are un-
able to get at them In very shoal wa
tiers.
1t Is a common and interesting sight
to see school Of weakf1sh slowly
moving In near the surface with the
early tide. Suddenly one sees the
smooth surface all In commotion. Sill
very minnows leap frantically in all
directions, looking like flashes of dia-
monds, then instantly disappear to GER
tain death. At such times anglers
should be ready with their boat
trimmed snug. lines out floating forty
feet away, baited with live shrimps.
Tide affects bottom feeders, though
not to such a large extent Fishing
from piers and docks an hour before
and after food is most likely to give
good results. On wrecks much de-
ponds on the kind of fish. The last Of
the ebb and at low tide is considered
the worst condition for general fish
ing. In the open sea, on the banks,
tidal influence counts for little or moth
ing. Any tide is as good as another

which is widely distributed in India,
the Malay archipelago and Africa, has
also very loud note. Its call has been

DEFINITIONS.
some Queer Ones Cleaned From q
High School Examination.

Among the questions i'm an examina-
ZION in definitions in a well regulated
high school in an eastern city were
these: What is bronchoT" What is
boomerangT what is a panto-
miner What is cartoonY And
these four excited some most remark
able answers. The following bona fide
replies, taken at random from the pa.
pers, show in many cases decided orig
inality, to say the least. but they like
wise display the effect of imperfect
enunciation and pronunciation and of
the association Of ideas without due
regard to sense"
In reply to the first query, What is
a bronchoT were the following: A
bronchO is an herb used as a medicine,
part Of your body, a foreigner, a
man that lives on ranches.
what is a boomerangT called
forth, among others, these: A boomer.
ang is a species of the baboon family,
what an Indian chews, something ex-
plosive.
The replies to What is a panto-
mime" included the following: A PAN
tomime Is an animal that eats human
flesh, person who finds fault, a man
who is always on the bad side Of ev-
erything, a trunk, box to carry peo-
pie in, resting on the shoulders of four
men; vision Of ones former sins.
AS for the question what is a car
toonT that seemed to excite the wild
est ideas Of ali, and there were brought
forth such answers as these: A car
toon Is a vessel for holding articles, a
strong windstorm, a kind of fish, a
bunch of flowers presented to hero
or a nobleman, a soldiers water bottle,
a statue, a strong gust Of wind.-Nsw

"AmOk" is a religious fanaticism,

Is said to be money. and the hubbub,

gruff and growing, accompanied by
all sorts of gesticulations, with tongue,

there are others of an artificial charac-

THE LIVERY STABLE DOG.

Some Ways In Which He Differs From
the Fashionable Pets.
The common livery stable dog Is to-
tally unlike the powder puff" or
"toots and skigums" dog, but his dis
position is infinitely better To lie on
q cushion and growl and snap at the
hand that would caress it is considered
the height of folly in the livery stable
variety.
The livery stable dog approaches you
mgratiatingly and offers you a dirty
paw to shake. After you have shaken
1t he solemnly gives you the other.
Then he crawls up in your lap and
Mcks you on the mouth.
The livery stable canine is a most
industrious digger Of holes. The the
DRY is that he is going to lie down in
the hole he digs, but he does no such
thing. He goes and lies down right
In the middle Of the sidewalk, where
people will have to step over him. He
will never get out Of anybody's way.
He even lies down in the middle of
the street and tries to make carts,
wagons and automobiles avoid him.
He doesn't enjoy as large a vocab.
ulary as the powder puff or skigums
dog. A phrase like "Does ums want
ums itty bass?" would scare him to
death. His advantages have not been
such as to acquaint him with such
hifalutin talk, but he does know a few
simple phrases like ,"Git to blazes out
Of here, you darned pestr' He under
