AS THE CROUCH SEES GROCER
unkindly Dealt With by Elk.
pert Fault Finder.

A grocer is a man who spends his
time in exchanging adulterated foods
for unadulterated money.
The best time to visit any grocer is
after you have had a large, square
meal; the worst time to visit him is In
the afternoon about 5 o'clock, when
you are half starved and everything
in his place looks more or less real.
But after you have given him an or
der under these famished conditions,
do not go home to your wife. 1t is
better to give her few days in which
to recover, and incidentally get even
with you by ordering two new Paris
hats and rhododendron kimonas.
To be successful grocer one must
have sand, a rich Oriental vocabulary
that can describe the same tea as IL
1t were In each case really different
and a complete knowledge Of aniline
dyes.
Also. every grocer should be mar.
ried. He can then explain to his GUS
toner when he is trying to sell her
some combination of wood pulp and
asbestos for nourishment: MY wife
has tried this for three weeks and
still lives."-Life.

become acquainted with his new

meeting at the Traction Terminal

place. and Frank was to wear a white
cloth pinned on his coat sleeve to iden-

arranged in his egg romance.

HARD TO DRIVE FROM NEST
Shown by Nesting Meadow Lark
In Massachusetts.

An endearing trait in birds is their
love Of home, and the bravery with
which they face danger in protecting
their eggs or baby birds. They seem
to become very tame at such times !;
not seldom person who approaches
them quietly may, after a few gentle
attempts, stroke a mother bird as she
broods. But 1t is really courage, and
not enjoyment Of the attention. that
She displays.
AN interesting example of the strong
attachment of a bird to Its home. as
we'll as its adaptability to unusual cir
cumstances, was given by a meadow
lark that found itself day after day
under gun-fire, and learned not 10
fear it,
At the practice grounds of the
United States marine corps at Wake
field, Mass, some low mounds were
raised on the firing line. On the
front side of one of these mounds a
meadow lark built its nest, and had
laid its eggs when the seasons prac
tice in target shooting and skirmish
drill began. The rife of the man ly-
ing on the mound was directly over
the nest, and not more than two feet
above 1t.
At first the birds would fly away,
when the firing skirmish line was still
at some distance; but as the practice
continued. they became accustomed to
the noise. They would wait until the
men came very near before flying. and
would return Immediately after. AS
the time came for the eggs to hatch,
one of the birds would stay on the
nest during the firing, even If a rife
were held just above her head. The
marines were very careful not to dis
turb the little family When the young
came, they we're nourished amid the
smoke Of battle. as 1t were, and finally
left the nest nharmed.-Youth's Com
