Suests Forced TO Drink.

Compulsory abstinence would have
seemed a complete inversion of the
natural order to some of our ancestors.
They believed in compulsory drinking,
and IN some old country mansions may
still be seen, believe, a ring let into
the wall of the dining hall for the pun
ishment of the man who would not, or
could not, drink his allotted share of
liquor.
The culprit's arm was fixed in the
ring, and he was given choice of drink
ing in the ordinary way or having the
LIQUOR he refused poured down his
sleeve. Hence the medieval jest,

of Ole H. Flow of Pierre, s. ID. Flow
is a native of South Dakota and has
made his way regardless of his handi-

Procuring a copy of Blackstone, he
memorized it from readings by his SIS

other young aspirant for the bar, and
they have worked together until both
passed the examination. Flow wrote
out his answers to the questions read

Chocolate Soldiers.

Captain Bean of the commissionary

with all hrs might to live up to George
Bernard Shaw's Chocolate Soldier"
Chocolate sweets and, in fact, sweet
meats of all kinds are in such great
demand that British candymakers are
busy night and day.
From Cairo comes the report that
the Australians stationed there have
absolutely eaten the entire chocolate

Captain Beans official report says:
Our canteen has five times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected, and one-fifth the de-

THIS FOX RUNS STRAIGHT.
Meadow Brook Hounds Trail Him

NEsTBuRY, IT, l., oct. 27.-Forty men,
bers of tho hunting colony enjoyed
brisk gallop through the woods this
morning after the American foXhounds
of the Meadow Brook Hunt club. which
chased a big red fox for nearly an hour
before he finally went to earth.
The ground was wet from the rain OF
last night and as a result hounds were
able to travel fast. The fox was jumped
right back of the Woodbury. Church and
evidently had been sleeping, because
hounds ran him on sight for several hun
dred yards before he finally disappeared
No dog can catch "A red fox In his first
flight and the pack soon was following
a good fresh scent. The fox made a
straight point east. He was headed for
some definite pont-this the huntsman
could tell by the direct line which he
took--never swerving, but just keeping Il
good lead and running straight as the
crow flies to Huntington, where he went
to earth two miles from that place.
The run was one of the best ever held
by the Meadow Brook club and the
crowd OF enthusiasts in the saddle had
more steady jumping than they had en-
joyed 80 far this year. Usually fox
will run in such manner that the field
can go slowly and at the same time hear
and see the hounds, but this reynard
