Proud Of Them.

We can no longer think. with Per-
icles, that good report for a woman
means a minimum of any kind Of re-
port about her. whether for good, or
evil. nor with DR.. johnson that when
she speaks in public she is ''like pig
standing on its hind legs; 1t is not
that she does 1t well. but you are sur
prised she can do It at ALL" We are
as proud Of our famous women as we
are Of our famous men. and some of
the very best speakers In the world
today are women.-University Maya

Hedgehoss Milk Cows.

A sporting incident on farm at
Uffculme. In Devonshire. England. has
revived the question whether or not
hedgehogs under certain circum-
stances abstract milk from cows. A
farmer and his friend were shooting
rabbits when their spaniel hustled out
of the hedge with hedgehog in its
mouth. XIII the BRUTE" called out the
farmer. "Hedgehogs have been per-
feet pest this year. They have been
milking my cows" The dog returned
to the hedge. where 1t caught fve
other hedgehogs In quick succession.
Many Devon farmers are convinced
that hedgehogs take milk from cows
when they are lying down. They
have been known to kill fowls and
such innumerable eggs.

The Argus Daily Story
A Wedding Tour-By Helena G. Towne.
Copyrighted 1918 by Associated Literary Bureau.

Miss Pulver was rather young to
marry any one, but George Guernsey
was q steady fellow and, though bare
" of age, gave promise of making her
an excellent husband. Indeed. so much
confidence did Myra's parents have in
him that they were perfectly willing
their daughter should marry him at
once. Perhaps the fact that her father
was an invalid without expectation, Of
living much longer had something to
90 with ii. He desired that she should
be provided for during his lifetime.
But though George was devoted to
her, though in all gatherings Of young
people in which they were present they
paired together, though it was con-
sidered among their friends that they
were spoons" they were not engaged.
Myra could not be induced to speak
the final word.
Myra having been invited to visit a
friend in another city, George offered
to be her escort on the journey thither.
\ day or two before their departure
he said to his chum. Charley Brown:

could be more proftably employed in

There are two distinct economic
losses involved In the protective tarin
system. It's resultant increase IN prices

and labor from industries in which
they would produce more net weal-N
