CHEERS FOR THE ANIMALS
Lecturer Annoyed by Being Interrupt
ed by Cheers and Jeers While
Delivering a Lecture.

The naturalist was delivering a lee
ture at West Point to the entire body
of cadets, and he was telling them a
big bear story. "At that moment" he
said, the mother bear"
His remarks were interrupted and
broken off short by a huge yell from
the cadets, with clapping and stamp
ing and cheers and jeers that gave
him no opportunity to continue. He
simply had to wait, nonplussed, until
the noise had subsidized. Then he took
up his discourse again. 81. don't know
what l said" he remarked, ito bring
forth such an outburst. | suppose it
must have been something queer. II
nobody tells me I'll simply have to go
on and do the best | can without that
salutary information. AS | was say
ing, the mother bear" Again the
yells broke forth, but this time they
were brief and the lecturer was al
lowed to finish explaining about the
antics of Lady Bruin. Then another
slide was slipped into the ~stereopticon
and a picture of a small animal was
thrown on the screen. This little
fellow" the lecturer stated, lis often
extremely annoying about camp. He
Is a porcupine-" Howls and yells
again broke out, and the lecturer
shook his head In despair of being
able to have his lecture received seri-
ously by these militant youths of the
country, who evidently knew ome
thing about animals that he did not
know. Having been very much Of a
boy himself, however, some years pre-
vious, he knew the game we'll enough
to join In with a cheerful grin, and
after a time he completed his talk,
though it was punctuated with yells
and laughter as the wolf, the badger,
the owl, the crane and even the malov
dorous skunk appeared on the screen
and made their respective bows to
the audience.
At the close of the talk the lecturer
sought information from the officers.
They smiled as one Of them told him,
"Nicknames. We have a fellow here

Cultivate Tact.

If a woman is blessed with tact she
has the supreme gift. 1t will bring
her all the things she needs. To her
it Is a much more valuable asset than
beauty or even genius. Tact is GER
tainly the greatest of all gifts to a
oma
The girls school In some far-distant
Utopia is going to include a course in
tact to correlate with its curriculum
from the primary grades on through
the postgraduate work. For when
the day Of enlightenment does come
the sensible mother and the astute
father will realize that a working
knowledge of how to get along with
people Is more to be desired than
much wisdom in so-called higher
branches. Tact Is more important
than trigonometry. 1t stands a girl
in place Of beauty; it takes her fur
Their than talent; 1t brings the world
to her feet to do her homage.
Tacti Speed the day when we
shall appreciate the Importance of this
unconsidered trife' Help us to real
ize that with it woman can wheedle
the world out of anything 1t has to
give; but with her feeble strength
she can't wrestle with 1t and get any
thing!

Can Opening.

One of the smallest of the little
girls in a Philadelphia family had
often assisted her mother in prepar,
ing the meals. She observed that her
mother, who was rather hasty, always
talked to herself when she had any
difficulty in opening cans of vege-
tables. The little girl thought that the
hastiness was a part of the operation.
One day she was visiting a neigh
Dor and went into the kitchen to help
prepare a meal.
She watched the neighbor take a
can of corn, apply the opener and re.
move the top.
That's not the way to open a can
of corn,' said the little girl
why, what other way is there?'
asked the neighbor.
well, you take the can of corn and
start to open it,. and then you bear
down and the opener slips. Then you
say, Darn this cam and finish 1t,
That's the way my mother opens a
can of corn"

sells for $50 to $100 per ton and
strawberries at $1.25 to 81 a quart.
j. P. Rickert, who has a greenhouse
in Fairbanks, Alaska, sells tomatoes
at so cents to 81 a pound and cucum-
bers at 50 to So a dozen.
It is hard to generalize about what
will grow In Alaska, because the eli
mate is so diverslfed-with almost
continuous rain. mild winters and fair
ly cool summers along stretches of
the south coast, and short, hot sum
mers with moderate rainfall and Sc
YER winters in the interior valleys.
The frozen tundras of the north are
out of the question for agriculture.
At Kadiak, off the south coast, the
minimum temperature was two de-
.grees last winter.
To find and develop things which
will thrive in Alaska the department
of agriculture has three agricultural
stations, at Sitka, Rampant and Fair
banks, and a dairy farm at Kadiak on
the south coast.

OUerboord
at Sea

To be lost overheard on a dark
might, hundreds of miles south of the
Cape of Good Hope, with n strong
wind blowing, and to live to tell the
tale, does not happen to many sailors.
William Galloway of the crew of the
British ship Kilhrannan had such an
experience several years ago, and told
his story to a reporter of a San Fran
cisco newspaper of the time, from
which the following account is ta-
ken:
Galloway Is a brown-faced Scotch
laddie who says "mither" for mother,
and everything about him, from the
frayed bottoms of his jean trousers
to the w~iry-looking tufts of hair which
peep from beneath the front peak of
his little ~fore-and-aft cap, betoken the
~rollicking, happy-goslucky deep-sea
sailor boy. OF his adventure, First
Mate William Coalfeet said:
1T was eight o'clock in the even
ing. We were ffty-five days out from
Philadelphia, bound for Hiogo, Japan,
and neal latitude forty-four one south.
longitude fourteen forty-four east. A
strong easterly wind was blowing. 1t
was dark and bitter cold, and the sea
was running very high.
Galloway was halfway up the rat
main-sheet, when the ship gave a
lurch and he fell into the sea.
"The captain threw him a life buoy.
The ship was brought up in the wind
as quickly as possible, and a. boat
lowered and manned. l took command
of her.
eve heard the boy shout as we were
lowering the boat, but he had yelled
himself hoarse, and We had nothing to-
guide us as we pulled aimlessly about
in the heavy sea.
1--WE pulled round for over an hour,
and as we lost sight Of the ship sew
eral times, and the night was getting
rougher and thicker, I was about to-
give up the search In despair, when
we heard a feeble moan, and straining
our eyes, saw Galloway clinging to-
the lifebuoy, almost under our bow.
eve soon had him on board, but 1t
took some slapping and rubbing to
put warmth into his rigid limbs"
Galloway said to the reporter: II
am a good swimmer, and managed to
ride the big sea- that came along, but
1t was terribly cold, and my legs be-
gan to feel like lead. 1t was a good
job for me that the water was SO
black, or | never could have seen the
white lifebuoy as it came to me on the
crest of a wave.
81 got it under my arms and stopped
padding. l was tired out. I shouted
as long as l could, but my voice grew
husky.
"The albatrosses and mollyhawks
swooped down on me, and | kept wa
wing my arms, thinking every moment
that m Of them would drive its
beak through my skull.
Il lost all hope and thought of moth
er and my sisters in Glasgow. Then /
saw the white hull of the mates boat.
l tried hard to shout. They heard me
and l was soon hauled on board.
'The captain gave me medicine,
and with plenty Of warm blankets and.
hot coffee, l soon began to feel N.Y.

Jones thrilled as the auctioneer turned to look
squarely at him.

Jones gulped and nodded
The auctioneer skilfully led up to the grand
landing by taking offers Of "thirtysix" and thirty
seven" from members OF his troupe He had felt
out his man carefully and knew that $40 would be
Jones's limit.
'win you give me foyty?" he said simply in d
level tone leaning far over the showcase
Jones hesitated. guped and then nodded his
head abruptly.
Jones was pleased with his bargains until he
got home and his wife told him he could get the

other stun was worthless.
