Curious Lore.

1t has been remarked as a curious
circumstance that Bonaparte and Wei.
lington were born In the same year.
and that Burns and Hogg, the Scotch
poets, were both born on Jan. %; but
1t Is more remarkable that the two
greatest dramatic poets of modern Eu-
rope, Shakespeare and Cervantes, both
died on the same day in the same
year, April %. 1916. 1t Ia further re-
markable that Shakespeare, like the
great Raphael and Sobleski, died on
the anniversary of his birth.-From
FennelIs Shakespeare Repository,
1858.

that he was flying. and that the ma
chine was beyond his control to stop.
Five miles from where the auto
started out and half an hour before
1t did start, q saddled pony was led
around to the door of a manor house,
and Miss Irene Galbraith mounted
and galloped away. Something of an
artist she was, and she had her
sketch book with her. Two miles
down the road she found her subject.
Five cows which were running at
large contrary to the highway laws
were standing in the middle of the
dusty road with half-closed eyes and
their tails lazily switching at the
flies. They had arranged themselves
as II for photograph and the girl
dismounted and got out her materials.
"Honk! Honk! Honk!"
Miss Galbraith had heard the sound
a thousand times before, but there
was q note in this to make her rise
to her feet. That honk was q danger
signal.
Five rods down was the river. On
the other side the highway assembled
for mile, and at its crest she saw
an auto. In ten seconds she made up
her mind that it was a runaway ma
chine. It honked at every fifty feet.
Those blasts could only mean: Look
out-clear the road"
Young Inlay had put in the fastest
half mile he ever expected to before
reaching the crest of the hill, but he
instantly realized that there was a
mile a minute pace before him.
Straight down over the crazy old
bridge, and
"Cows in the road" he said to him
self.
That settled 1t. There must be a
smashup.
"And girl there! She must know
I'm In trouble. II she's got good
sense she'll scatter those cows and
give me a clear road. If she does
I'll marry her; If she does not"
Here you COWS, get out of this!"
cried the girl as she picked up stick
and ran forward and belabored them.
The surprised cows moved. They
didn't hustle, but they didn't have to
60 far to clear the road. A Iona

were better things ahead of him. The
old people had never taken very kind
ly to his ideas concerning scientific
farming. 1t was only after long-con-
tinued argument that they ceased to
oppose his plans.
Even then they could lend him no
aid. The family pocketbook was
hardly able to supply the necessities;
there was no provision for the cause
Of education. Consequently, the sue
cess which came as a result of his
four years. work gave him the right
to believe that he had chosen wisely.
Il suppose father thinks l ought to
stay here" he unused, "but it's asking
too much of fellow. The only thing

Mr.. Whitcomb was unusually silent
at the supper table that evening. Don
noticed something in his face that he
had never seen before. 1t was the
expression q man wears when he is
about to give up the fight. His eye
was listless, his head bowed, in short,
his whole attitude suggested defeat.
The following morning Mrs. Whit
comb appeared in Don's room at an
early hour.

The beauty OF work depends upon
the way we meet it-whether we arm
ourselves each morning to attack 1t as
an enemy that must be vanquished be-
fore night comes. or whether we open
our eyes with the sunrise to welcome
1t as an approaching friend who will
keep us delightful company all day,

The FishinqeFroa.

The fishing frog buries himself IN
the mud and lies barely concealed in
weeds, where, with his huge mouth
open, he fishes for his dinner. On the
back OF his head there are three
spines, the longest of which he bends
forward In front of his mouth, gently
swaying 1t in the water. At last 1t
attracts young fish, which makes a
spring for the supposed worm, when

Fishing Frog has had his dinner.
