NEVER AVIATE.

II you're married 10 lady.
But have left the ladys side
Without Leaving information
As To where you viii abide;
If you nope 20 never meet the
Person formerly your mate,
Then Id urgently advise you:
Never, never aviate.
If you owe a party money
And would rather owe il still,
Keeping a respectful distance
From the person with the bill;
If, in grief. you'd rather never
Dig the coin and liquidace,
Then, whatever you may turn to,
Never, never aYiate.

And the public's eye avoid:

In the seat vice presidential
You may live retired, elate,
But you're doomed to advertisement
If you ever aviate.

The muslxrat bears an unhappy suf-
fix; one cannot contemplate the eating
of any ''rat" with feelings OF unalloyed
delight. Then, too. being n destructive

makes n nuisance of itself and must be

At formal hunt club banquet In

sistance was muskrat An exquisite
ragout Of 1t was given the palm over
canvasback and terrapin by men OF
epicurean tastes, and the question was
gravely debated of notwithstanding the
"rat'--that is, of reviving its inof-
fensive- Indian name of "'musquash"
or even substituting on menus the pop
ular local name OF marsh rabbit" If
this is done in northern homes and
hotels there is little doubt that a new
and delicious food win find its way to
our markets.
The muskrat. or, musquash. is one of
the cleanliest of edible animals, the
very antithesis OF the filthy domesti-
Gated fowl and unspeakable hog. 1t
lives upon nutritious roots and delib-
erately washes these before eating
them. There is nothing whatever to be
alleged against 1t save the harm 1t
does In its subterranean explorations
for food. The business of trapping 1t
is spreading rapidly and already con-
stitutes and industry Of respectable
proportions in our eastern tidewater
stntes. But most of the trappers have
been seeking the fur of the muskrat
only: It is now eminently probable that
q large reward awaits them in the

Let Your Imagination Run Wild and IL
May Kill You.
Can you make your brain your muir
derer or your rescuer?
Some of the episodes Of the studies
Of the brain and the nerves have been
intensely tragic. In Warsaw recently
the Polish novelist Reymont was to be
tried for having written a short story
that criticised the government. A local
attorney, famed for the success with
which he predicts the results of trials
long before the decisions are rendered,
was asked what would be the outcome
Of Reymont's case. "
II can't tell that" he answered, "but
1 do know that the judge who tries
him will die suddenly" -
The prediction became generally
known, and such was the dread in
which the local prophets predictions
were held that every judge endeavored
to avoid the bringing of the charges.
On Judge Fabricius, who was close
student of the supernatural, the re-
luctant duty fell. He acquitted Rey-
mont, it was believed, In the hope of
averting the fate foretold. Neverthe-
less within an hour after he had re-
turned to his home from the courtroom
he was found sitting In his chair stone
dead. Warsaw has now elevated the
lawyer who foretold the misfortune to
the heights Of an infallible prophet,
but science, wherever the strange trag-
edy has been discussed, has unhesitat-
ingly attributed Judge Fabricius' death
to the minds fatal influence over the
philadelphia North American.
