He was big and husky--a trifle fat
With fifty" chest and seven hat
And he'd pound himself the chest and say,

I'm the strongest man In the whole blame state,
And the niftiest fighter, too, that's straight.

And he seen the bluff, and he says, 81 call"
Then there was trouble-and trouble thick.
II was mighty hot, but II lasted quick.
And the ambulance to the finished fray
And he carried tho quiet chap away
With his busted ribs and his broken nose
And his two black eyes and his spattercd clothes,
While Henry 1ounged against the bar
And said, That's the kind Of guy I arel"

In many Of the villages the great

Various are the causes assigned for
this dessrtion--the drainage OF the
marshes. the multiplication Of tele-
phone and telegraph wires and the
smoke from factory chimnsys.
In Germany for the better study Of
storks there has been created sort Of
service In connection with the educa-
tion department which tends to set up
an "etat civil" for each bird. or. In
other words. to register them after the
manner which obtains for citizens In

have something to do with the scar
city, BY this system Of registration
the authorities have learned some
thing of the migratory habits OF the
bird; for instance, one was found dead
at the Cape Of Good Hope whose place
OF origin was eastern Prussia.
A point of interest relative TO the
scarcity OF the stork has been brought
under the notice Of the German au-
thorities by doctor at Port Eliza

been poisoned through eating grass,
hoppers or locusts which have been
killed by arsenic. A correspondent.

One often meets with description.
especially In some of the older novels,
Of men with cork legs. and upon read
Ing the graphic accounts OF some OF
some OF these old sea dogs. for most
Of them were sailors. one would nstu.
rally think they had artificial legs
made of cork.
But artificial legs are never made
Of cork. They do not get their name
from the material of which. but from
the place at which. they were made.
This was not the city OF Cork in Ire.
land. but Cork street. of Piccadilly, In
London. which was the headquarters
for the artificial limb trade In the old
days. Just as certain streets are known
as the locality for certain Wholesale
