Docs Hard Fate.

A Gordon setter frequented the pier
of Hastings, N. Y, where tug boats
land for fresh water and the animal
had become a favorite with many of
the tugboat men. For three weeks the
boats were not able to land because
OF the ice and the dog, apparently not
understanding, had barked his dejec-
ton as his friends steamed slowly past
him. The other day tug which the
dog seemed to recognize steamed past
the pier and the animal, first running
about apparently In q frenzy of ex.
element, finally ran to the shore,
plunged into the water and started
swimming toward the vessel. The
ice was thick in its path and at last
the dog was forced to put back. The
animal reach shoal water, but there It
stood, Its eyes fixed up stream where
the tug was disappearing. Perhaps
the icy water benumbed the dog SO 1t
could not move; at any rate 1t stood
motionless while the incoming tide
sent the water creeping up It's sides
and presently the waves met over its
head. Men who had expected each in
slant to see the dog come ashore real
ICED too late to save the animal that
II could not or would not move and
were forced to see 1t drown.

CHIvALRY NOT YET DEAD
Opposing Avlators Prove That the
Finer Feelings Of Humanity
still Prevail.

Once there were two afrmen-
youngsters. They had attended the
same school of aviation, they had
learned to fly together. They had be-
come fast friends. Then came the
war. One Of them was German. He
went off to give his services to the
emperor. The other was French.
man. He Joined French flying corps
and when he went about his busi'
ness of scouting up aloft his constant
fear was that he might find, up there
in the clouds, his friend and school,
mate. AS a matter of fact the first
time he sighted Taube he knew by
the way 1t was handled who 1t was
that steered 1t. The German recog.
nized not less quickly the fight of the
Frenchman. Both misunderstanding
ing in great circles. Then duty was
too strong for friendship; they
charged each other. No, friendship
was stronger after alias the French
man was about to strike the German
he tipped his left wing perilously and
glided past almost on edge. The Ger
man did exactly the same thing-and
each flew back to his own lines.
Perhaps, says the Frenchman who
tells this pretty tale, chivalry, which
in this grim war of machines has
survived on the sea in the person Of
the gallant captain of the Emden, has
found refuge in the air.

SEEMS POOR ECONOMY
ROUNDABOUT WAY OF KEEPING
FIRE HOUSES CLEAN.
Story Told by Writer In The Public,
Whether the Real Thing or Not,
May Possibly illustrate q
Sad Truth.

About two months ago I happened
to sit down beside pleasant-faced old
fellow in the smoking car of train
pulling out OF Philadelphia. l wanted
TO smoke, and on discovering that l
had no matches, | turned to my seat
mate and asked II he could spare me
one
Certainly" said he, that is one
thing / can get all l want for noth'
ing"
Seeing that he was inclined to talk,
| humored him by asking: "Hows
that"
why, you see," he replied, 81 work
for the city, in the fire department,
and we can get all we want of any
thing like that. Just turn in requi-
sition for them and along they come.
But there is one thing we can't get
all we want of, though
whats that?'
"Brooms. We can't get a broom.
We can requisition as much as we
like. but we can't secure a single
broom"
"Hows that?"
Don't know. but we can't get one"
How do you keep the place clean,
then? always thought they we're
very particular in the fire department
to have everything spick and span"
That's It," said he, nudging me in the
ribs, that's It! How do we keep
II clean? Must be clean for inspec.
ton. Know what we do? I'll tell you!
We use blankets. Yes, we take blank
cts, tear 'em up into strips and make
mops out OF 'em and keep the place
as neat as you please! You see we
can get all the blankets we want, but
we can't get broom. So we take
turns requisitioning blankets"
But the blankets must cost lot
more than brooms would"
Sure. Blankets must stand the city
at least dollar and quarter each,
while the best brooms bought In large
quantities would not cost over twen-
ty-fve cents apiece. And one broom
would last longer than half dozen
blankets. But we can't help It. Must
keep the fire house clean for inspec-
ton or would all get fred No mat
ter how often we requisition brooms
there isn't one forthcoming, while we
can get all the blankets we want, and
no questions asked"
Seems funny. How Is 1t, do you
suppose?'
"Only reason can give is that the
new administration is short OF funds.
Possibly somebody in former admin
lstration got some graft for laying In
large stock OF blankets and got no
brooms. But It costs somebody some
thing in the long run. Fierce, isn't
it?"-W. p, Jr., In The Public.

ASSERTS T0NSILS HAVE USE
st. Louis Physician Makes Protest
Against the Too Free Use
Of the Knife.

Doctor Ewing, st. Louis physician,
has raised voice Of protest against
the surgical propensity for the use Of
the knife on the tonsils. For long
time 1t was the vermiform appendix
which was only in the way. but lately,
owing perhaps to a growing incredu-
lily in the public mind, surgery has
turned more to the tonsil as the super
fluous thing which is capable Of doing
a great deal of harm and absolutely
incapable of doing any good.
Doctor Ewing insists that the tonsils
make nesting place for the phago-
cytes, that class of good microbes
which get into the blood to fight great
battles there with the bad microbes
which infest our systems. The ton
sils, says Doctor Ewing, are recruit
ing stations at which the phagocyte ar
mics are enlisted and from which they
/ march away to fight for our lives. II
we remove the tonsils out of the rising
generation the rising generation may
be left without phagocytes to fight
their battles for them, and will fall
| victims to the armies Of evil microbes
which will then attack them unresist.

Golf on a Battlefield.

Golfers OF the Mexico Country club
at Mexico City who were recently
barred from their games for two weeks
because the Carranza and Zapata
forces were using the links for a bat
tleground, had an unusual experience
when, on the day after the retreat OF
the soldiers they resumed play.
Notwithstanding that the links had
been torn up by shells, all went well
with the game until the drive-off from
the seventh tee had been followed up
to the green. It was then that the
man who had the best lie waved to
his companions excitedly to hurry on
up. They thought that he had holed
out with his midiron, but found that
his discomposure was caused by the
fact that he could not use his putter.
Between his ball and the cup lay the
body of a revolutionist, who had been
killed in an exchange OF shots the
day before.

Co-operatlon In Russia,

Even today millions of the Russian
peasants are not only too poor to EN-.
ploy any but the simplest instruments
OF agriculture, but the smallness OF
their acres makes the machinery we
are accustomed to out OF the question.
On the other hand, there are large
estates with the finest modern ma
chinery, while the peasant proprietor
is gradually overcoming the difficulty
by cooperative buying.
Six million households were associ-
ated with cooperative associations
in 1911, and $40 out of the $40 zem-
stvos were last year engaged in the
sale OF agricultural machinery.
Long years of experience in the
semicommunal dealings of the mir
have trained the Russian peasants In
the qualities necessary for co-opera'
tive enterprise.
