Is to lie on an iron bed drawn out

The most dangerous places in the

places Of danger are proximity to

Another danger is a crowd. The

ATHLETES OF oLDEN TIME
Those of Greece Wore Hair Cropped
and Were Subjected to Very
Careful Diet.

Some interesting comparisons may
be drawn between ancient and modern
athletes. The athletes OF ancient
Greece, for example, II they should
appear to view today, would not be
taken for a football team.
The old-time man OF muscle wore
his hair cropped, a distinguishing fea.
ture in land of long hair. Trainers
for the games led a very careful life.
They were under orders for a rigid
diet, which became especially severe
just before the contest
Their bill OF fare consisted of fresh
cheese, dried figs and wheaton por-
ridge. A little later In the era meat
was allowed, with a preference for
beef and pork. Bread was not allowed
with meat, and sweets not at all.
AT one time a strange custom Of diet
came into vogue. Every day at the
conclusion Of practise the athletes
were obliged to consume enormous
quantities of food, which was digested
In long-continued sleep. The amount
was gradually increased until huge
meals of meat were taken. This diet
produced 4 corpulence which was OF
advantage in wrestling, but injurious
for other sports.

DOG KEEPS PEACE IN FAMILY
Lucky Cur Whose Appetite is PAM

the dog an appetizer.

toned up so he will eat them out OF

the daily wanderings Of the pair were
not quite as innocent as they are now.
They had a habit of stopping at a
saloon where the dogs prtion OF their
refreshment was a sausage.

saloon any more, but il the dog is

Object to slauahtsr Of Lions.

According to some of the farmers OF
East Africa. the lion should be pro.
tected as useful animal, notwith.
standing the fact that once In q while
he kills man. The lion, they main.
tain, is a great destroyer OF noxious
herbivorous animals. such as zebras
and antelopes. which are scourge to

fewer than 40 lions have recently been
killed by hunters. and they estimate
that this represents the saving of S5.-

Brought Bees to Earth.

A rather novel way of capturing a
swarm OF bees was adopted in North
Hants. England, recently, where a
gamekeeper found that rowing col
ony had settled high up ON a beech
tree fifty or sixty feet above the
ground In his garden. A man went
to his assistance and spread a cloth
on the ground on some hay just be-
meath the swarm. The keeper fired
shot which cut away the bough from
which the bees hung from the tree.
They fell like bunch of grapes on to
the cloth. and "skep" was immedi-
ately placed over them. The swarm
weighed nearly five pounds, and the
bees appeared to be none the worse
for their treatment.

Letting the Cat Out of the eaa.

The saying "let the cat out OF the

trick of substituting a cat for young
pig in the days when 1t was customary
for the country folks in England to
take pigs to market in bags These
bags, in old phraseology, were called
"pokes." If anyone was foolish
enough to buy an animal without look
ing at 1t, he was said to have bought
"a pig in n poke" but II he opened
the bag the cat would jump out and
the trick was exposed.

proved in the end. Mrs. Strecker's
condition at first improved slight
| ly, but she soon relapsed into I'm
consciousness, which lasted until
death came.
Word of Mrs, Strecker,s illness
did not reach her family until late
in the day, for some reason, and
though her husband and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Dan Johnson, reache herd
side before her death they were too
late to find her conscious.
Mrs. Strecker was an unusually
strong, robust woman to whom
sickness was almost unknown, and
only few seconds before she was
struck down she was commenting
on her own remarkable good health
to Mrs. Johnston.
Besides the husband the follow
ing immediate relatives survive her {:
eight children-Mrs. Dan Johnson

Hunter, Carthage; Mrs. Elmer
Copeland, Porto Rico; Mrs. Clara
Holderman, Pierce, Ariz; Fred
Follmer, Jasper; Charles Follmer,

June. There she remained until
she was 6 years of age and then
came to this country, where she

With tent and pony and Gypsy cart,
At half-past three O'Clock to-day
To travel across the u. S. A.
BY wireless message placed an ad
In the daily press for a little lad
To join our party and valet. be
And guard and chef to my cat and me.
And when we land expect to face
A line of applicants for the place"
FOUR boys were there at two o'clock,
When the Prince and Muf1es reached the doci
The first, lad from the neighborhood,
With blouse of blue and shoes of wood.
And rosy cheeks and squared off hair,
And travelling bag, just waiting there
To take the place and valet be
To this famous prince from across the sea
he was eating lunch of cake and jam
And his name was Dutchy Rotterdam.
His mother, he said, told him to wait
And watch for Domino at the gate.
He needed work; his dad was dead
His mother poor; that's what he said.
Beside him stood the cutest chap
In native dress, a little Jap.
He came, he said, because he l.new
How to cook chop or a mutton stew
Or pigeon pie or a plate of fish
Or any kind of Gypsy dish.
He said to Dutchy he'd make chase
To beat the others to get the place.
The next in line was negro lad
In much worn shirt and trousers clad;
Without suspenders, shoes, or cap,
And in his hand piece OF strap.

He suffered some and lisped a bit
And rolled his eyes and eyebrows knit
While wrinkled twitches whirled ahor,

his look was funny and he seemed to say:

IHkRE was another boy, we'll dressed an
bright,
The student kind; he could read and write
AND knew arithmetic and geography
And had made trip across the sea
He was sure, he said, that Prince and ca.
Would decide for him right off the bat
THE Prince stepped up and Muf1es, too.
The applicants to interview.
But before the questions were begun
Another lad came on the run:
A newsboy with his Wall street news.
But minus cap and coat and shoes.
A happy lad, with dirty face;
Another applicant for the place.
THE Prince shook hands with every lad
And chatted with each and seemed quite glac
That FIVE such boys had come that dav
To get the place and earn the pay.
He said TO Dinkey, as he began.
That it wasn't clothes that made man.
PLEASE stand in line; and now" said he.
My cat will choose the boy for me;
Lookin his eye; don't stir or chat.
As Muf1es passes; this famous cat

For he has eyes that see boys think.
He reads their hearts and he can tell

Carved on the face in inlaid gold
And just below a figure bold:
The head of Muffles, his famous cat,
With eyes of blue and blue cravat.
A domino was on the back.
The kind for games, in white and black:
And in each square the spots of white,
Which added up or subtracted right
Or multiplied on pad or slate,
Gave the Princes age and birthday date.
These handsome charms he gave away
To the boys and girls he met each day.
THE Princes cat, the papers said,
Was Oriental, born and bred;
A Siamese of the famous sort.
The kind they prize in the royal court.
His velvet body of meerSchaum hue,
His bewitching eyes of bonnie blue,
His seal brown face and nose and chin,
And ears to match with points turned in,
His tail and feet and padded paws
OF darker brown than his whiskered ia
And his stately walk and the way he sat
Gave him the bearing of royal cat.
Prince calls him Muff1es, and all agree
That his name fits him to a nicely.

Travelling about in foreign lands
With tnkering, trading Gypsy bands.
And this was how, as little lad,
The fortune-telling gift he had
Made him quite famous in every town
And brought him people of great renown:
Kings and Queens and men of state,
Who came 30 him with problems great
And paid him well in gifts and gold
When he their lives and fortunes told
BUT Domino as YOU may guess,
Was not Gypsy, except in dress.
His hair was faxen; his eyes were blue;
The kind that laugh when they look at you
He had rosy cheeks and complexion clear,
And nose and mouth and chin so dear,
And voice so sweet and laugh so gay,
And such happy, merry way,
And such wise speech for one so young,
With the loveliest accent of foreign tongue,
And such courtly manners and commanding air
And such knowledge of countries everywhere,
That words of praise were on every lip
OF thousand people on the ship
And even the reporters wished that they
Could interview him every day
THIS famous Prince knew what to say
To boys at work and to boys at play
He turned discouragements to pluck
And changed msfortunes into luck
He knew what girls should always wear
On arm or neck or hand or hair
To make them lovely, true, and kind,
And help them fortunes each to find.
Prince Domino knew what to do
To cheer things up when folks were blue;
The prince of sunshine all the year,
The prince of fortune and good cheer,
The children's Prince of power and good
The one they loved and understood
TO protect himself from fear and harm
Prince Domino wore a simple charm:
