tion says:
The conservation Of our natural
resources has become a question of
national importance. Among these
resources trees and forests hold a
conspicuous place. II is the common
belief that forests regulate the flow

The Biggest Battlcship.

The biggest battleship in the worl !
was nearing completion. For five
weary years an army of toilers had
swarmed over the yards of the con-
tractors.
And now said the elated Sec
retary of the Navy, we must con-
slider getting it into the Eater."
For two years the mechanical in
tellects of the country wrestled with
the problem. At the end of the
second year the gigantic craft re-
mained unlaunched.
Then up spoke the youngest en-
gineer of them all.
'Jf we cannot get the ship to the
ocean, he said, I'VE must bring the
ocean TO the ship"
So for five years more mighty
dredges scooped and huge clamshells
burrowed, and the ocean was brought
to the ship.
And then one day the Secretary
of the Navy sent for the contractors.
ITS no use, gentlemen" he said;
the ship Is now entirely out of
style. Break her up. p."-Cleveland

Cure For Church Sleepers.

A certain Scotch minister, new
conner in the parish, finding it i'm
possible to arrest the attention of the
congregation, became desperate. No
sooner did he appear in the pulpit
than they promptly composed them
selves to sleep.
One evening, after taking up his
position he raped sharply on the
ledge in front of him and addressed
his somnolent flock in tones of
severe remonstrance.
Now, brethren" he said. 'it's not
fair to go asleep as ye always ha'
done directly I begin my sermon.
Ye might wait a wee till | get alang,
and then If I'm no worth hearing
sleep ava wi ye, and I'll no care;
but dinna go before | ha' commence
ed Gle me this one chance"
Finding they were all fairly awake
by that time, he went on:

words Know thyself,' but / will say

would not advise this congregation
to make many such profitless ac-
quaintances.

What Is Swankey?

Danville.-What is "swankey?"
This question has been submitted to
the highest tribunal in Montour
County, but aside from the fact that
II is Temperance" drink with lag"
possibilities nothing has been learn
ed concerning it.
The question has just been put
squaTely up to the court. The con-
stables had just made their returns
when Attorney William Kase West,
of Danville, accompanied by Consta-
BILE Amos Albeck, of Anthony Town
ship, took their position before the
court and Mr.. West, acting as
spokesman, explained that "swank-
ey" is becoming a popular drink at
rural sales and that it is dispensed
freely as Temperance" drink at
some houses that have no license.
1t is question, Mr.. West explain
ed whether "swankey" does not con-
tain fair percentage of alcohol and
whether it does not offer a cheap
drunk. Judge Evans was not long
in defining the constable's duty in
the premises.
1.-The court" he said, doesn't
know what 'swankey' is. and, conse-
quently, whether it can be legally
sold without license or not There
is an infallible guide. however. If
'swankey' intoxicates it cannot be
dispensed except under restrictions
that apply to alcoholic liquors"
