NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle lobe Lived Up to His Reputa-

His Bet.

There lives in certain Vermont
town quaint old character known
as Uncle Tobe," who is so con-
servative ofsaction and speech that It
is almost difficult at times to get any
thing definite from him. Uncle lobe,
like the Father Of His Country, has the
reputation of never having told lie.
and in addition he is SO cautious Of
statement that he has never been
known to tell an innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor, in con-
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
a bet Of five dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't so. A
neighbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbor
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor, as he had
agreed to do, went out the back door
and hid in the barn.
Good morning, Tobe," said the WIS.,
itor, us the doctor in your house?"
''He was there when | came out"
said Uncle lobe.

For and Against Cremation.

Cremation seems to be becoming
a necessity, especially around the
large centers Of population, declare
advocates of the practice. At the
rate at which cemeteries are increas-
ing around such cities as New York
and London, each of which requires
about twenty-four acres of additional
land annually to bury the dead. it has
been predicted that the cities of the
living will be veritably encompassed
by cities of the dead" Humanity
is reluctant to give up the age-long
practice Of inhumation, some anti
cremationists declaring that when
the body is consumed by heat the
soul is at the same time destroyed"
Legal-minded !objecters also point out
that ut destroys all evidence of crime
where murder by poison has been
committed" In reply the cremation
lists argue "that cremation is the only
hygienic, sanitary AID economic meth
cd of disposing of our dead"

Ammunition Used in War.

How much ammunition does a mod
ern army use? We shall not know
until after the war what the German
and the allied forces have been ex-
pending; but we know what the Ger
mans used in 1901. The total for
rifles was 100000 cartridges, for
field artillery 100000 rounds. 1t is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
The siege Of Strassburg alone cost,
weight for weight, three times the
amount of ammunition used in all the
decisive battles and actions through
out the whole war. OF course these
figures are a mere bagatelle COM

gle, with its millions of soldiers and
its quick-fring guns and It's week-long
