CANTEEN SAVES DEER'S LIFE
MotorcycIists Give Exhausted Animal
Drink, After Almost Running
1t Down.

Winsted, Conn.-Riding to Colbrook
river on his motorcycle, e. G. Humph-
rey came upon a deer with it's tongue
hanging out and suffering from ex-
haustion.
The animal managed to keep ahead
of his motorcycle in the road dis
lance of a quarter of a mile, but
Humphrey said he was compelled to
slacken speed several times to avoid
hitting the deer, which finally fell into
a ditch beside the road.
Humphrey gave the deer some slim
ulants from his emergency canteen,
and after half an hours rest it seem
ingly regained its strength and bound
ed away.
1t is believed that the deer had been
chased by dogs.

Solvent.

A certain man found himself in the
possession of $11,O00,O00. But he did
not lose his head. On the contrary.
II will pay only SO much for car"
he firmly declared, 'as will leave OF
the $11,0O0,0O0 sum sufficient, if
prudently invested in the funds. to de-
fray the cost of having the thing
around"
And though in that resolution he
paid so little for car that his wife
would scarcely speak to him, his
sense of financial solvency was his
ample reward.-Puck.

WELCOME THE PE0N BELIEF IN ONE self
Feminine Vanity the Foundation
of Charm.
Not by Any Means the Reprehensible
Quality Many Would Have Us Be-
lleve-Better a Little Foolish
Than Too Sensible.

The woman without vanity is rarely
attractive. She lacks that understand
ing of her good points which would
give her confidence and poise. Such
a woman scorns boudoir caps, and
frivolous frilly negligees, and attrac-
tive slippers, and silk stockings, and
all seemingly unnecessary things
which make her deliciously feminine.
She has a tendency towards stiff pom
padours, and fannelette kimonos, and
she may be seen at almost any hour in
starched shirtwaists when soft cling
ing gowns would become her better.
Do you remember Pleasant Rider
hood in Our Mutual Friend? How
she shared with most of the lady in
habitants of the Hole, the popularity
that her hair was a ragged knot, con-
stantly coming down behind" and that
she never could enter upon any I'M
dertaking without first twisting it into
place" The impression that we gain
of her slatternly ways does not COM
mend her to our admiration.
The woman who stares into her mir
the use?" and who feels that there is
nothing in her to admire, need not ex-
pect to charm. Given a little belief in
herself, and she will progress towards
an ideal, she will map out a program
which will include an occasional visit
to the hair dresser and manicure.
She will make a study of becoming
colors, and fragrant creams and toilet
waters and bath tablets and pure
soaps which give the final touch of
daintiness to ones personality.
Six months of concessions to such
little vanities will change an unattrac-
tive woman into an attractive one,
especially if she extends her reforms
beyond her personal appearance.
I'D rather woman would be bit
foolish than too sensible said pro-
fessional man not SO long ago. You
can talk as you please about woman's
possibilities in intellectual lines of en-
deavor, but in the end you'll have to
admit that it's her mission to bring
beauty into the world, and we mascu-
lines love her for her fans, her frills.
her furbelows, her laces and her laugh
ter. You will find 40 poet declaiming
the charms of angularity and awk-
wardness. The dainty woman charms.
And to be charming she need not be
empty-headed. The brainy woman
should not doff the delights of femi-
nine vanity She should rather make
them serve her own ends, so that she
shall delight the eye as well as the
intellect ''-Exchange

Stouohton Bottles.

The term "Stoughton bottle" as a
synonym Ok bump on log" or other
description of useless idleness, origi-
mated more than fifty years ago, when
Stong hton bitters were us common on
every bar as vermouth is today.
They were not as much used, and
DIS a consequence the "Stoughton
bottle" was a more or less idle orna-
ment, and to the frequenter of bar
rooms-there were no cafes in those
days-it became an easily recognised
symbol of idleness.

UNIONIsTs FAvoRING ULSTER
Party Leaders Pledge Forcible Re.
sistance to Home Rule.

Newcastle, England Speaking from
the same platform as Sir Edward Car
son, the Ulster unionist leader, An
drew Bonar Law, the opposition leader
in the house Of commons, pledged the
support of the unionist party to
Ulster, even to the extent of forcible
resistance to home rule. His eagerly
awaited reply to Premier Asquith's
offer Of compromise on October Is,
however, consisted merely of state
ment that the unionists would consider
carefully any proposals the prime min
lister cared to make relative to solu-
ton of the home rule problem, if So
luton were possible.
Mr.. Bonar Law expressed the opin-
ion that the only logical way the gov
eminent could avoid the responsibility
of plunging the country into civil war
was to secure mandate from the peo-
pie by a general election, and If it ia
vored home rule it would be acquiesced
in by the unionists.
The speaker maintained that the
government had brought forward its
land proposals to confuse the issue.
Sir Edward Carson, who followed
Mr.. Bonar Law, said:
~ will consider all the overtures
when they are put into plain language.
| will submit them with the best adj
vice can to those who trust me. But
/ tell the government that, 80 far as
am concerned, no offer will be Of use

covenant into which the government
