Troubles Never Come sInnIy.

A resident of BoOthbay, Me, was
told by Il neighbor that his sons COW
was out in another pasture, and start
ed to bring her in. He found a COW
loose and set out In chase.
For an hour or two he chased one
Of the most obstinate aud disgusting
animals ever born into the COW breed.
And at last he caught her and brought
her out to the road and was leading her
lrlumphantly home, when he met a
neighbOr who asked him what he was
doing with another neighbor's COW.
And SO 1t proved. For the original
stray COW was stlll in the wrong pas
ture, but tied securely TO tree. The
other COW had had a perfect right to
it grazing ground.
The exasperated gentleman then set
out again and this time found the right
strayed COW anG took her home.
When he arrived at his sons place
with his sons COW he found one of his
own cows in his sons field and eating
up the sons cabbages.

TANKS" FIGHT IN PAIRS
Known as Males and Females, Says
Officer Of Nova Scotia
Battalion.

KingspOrt, N. S.-A description of
the operation of British tanks" was
given by Lieut.. Harry w. Hiltz of the
Nova Scotia battalion on his arrival
here.
"There are two types of tanks,
known as the male and female tank"
he said. "They fight In pairs, n male
and female. The male tank carries
two heavy guns and six machine guns
and the female has two heavy guns
and five machine guns.
"They certainly proved a great sur
prise to the Germans, and might add
to us as well. as they came numbering
along during the fight for Courcelette.
They of course did better work then
than they have accomplished since, for
the Germans have become accustomed
to them and know better now how to
fight back. Nothing but direct hit
by a heavy shell will damage them In
the least"
Lieutenant Hiltz says the new Brit
ish war machine travels about two or
three miles an hour and when 1t comes

John I of France has to his

Napoleon was emperor the second

Francis ii ruled but a year, Louis

Many plans have been devised to

means has been found TO be the use
Of some solution on the wood TO be
protected that worms and microbes can

much of the substance that the log or
timber is ''rotten" and falling to
pieces. Cseosote is common preven-
tive, and salt water also tends to ward

4s,7sS SUICIDES
IN FIVE YEARS
Self If-Destruction an Increasing
Hazard in Life Insurance
in This Country.
MOST NUMEROUS IN The WEST
Statstics Show Suicide Rate Has Ap-
parentIy Reached Stationary Level
Highest Rates In Years Of
Great Business Depression.

New York.-An intensive study Of
suicide in the United States, with sta.
ustlcs analyzing self-destructlon from
almost every possible angle, is pub
lished In the Spectator, a weekly In
surance paper Of this city.
The sections in which the greatest
number Of suicides occur, the ages at
which the greatest number of persons
end their lives, the relative number
of self-kiIlings Of the present dny us
contrasted with other periods, are all
analyzed by the writer, Frederick l..
Hoffman.
The chief conclusion reached Is that
the suicide rate In this country, while
fairly high, has apparently reached
a stationary level. That is, II has
increased but tiny fraction during
the last five years over the five years
preceding.
An uneXplalnable, or unexplained,
fact about American suicides Is that
they are far more numerous In the
western, Rocky mountain and central
regions than In the East. The further
West the investigator looks, the more
suicides he finds.

San Diego, Cal, has the record Of
the highest suicide rate in the coun-
try, II being 1913 per 100000 of popula-
tiOn. San Francisco is not far behind,
having a rate of 55.7. Sacramento Is
also u place conducive TO suicide. ap-
parently, for its rate is 51.2. These
figures are for the year 1915, consid-
cred separately, and In each of those
cases show increases over the percent.
age for the previous five years.
The figures for 100 American cities
show that the general suicide rate for
1915 was 20.7, as against 20.3 for the
period between 1904. The trlfiing
increase throughout the whole cOun-
try is caused by the great Increase
which the far Western cities had.
San Dlego's increase was 20.1, Sacra-
mento's 1916. San Francisco's SO.
Manhattan and the Bronx, which
are analyzed together as city, had a
suicide rate during 1915 of 1914 per
100000, as against 1876 during the five
years before, an increase Of 0.S. Back
in the years between 1900-04 the rate
was 21,7.
Augusta, Ca, had the lowest rate
Of all American cities which were in
veStIgated, the record in 1915 being
four persons per 100000. Mobile, Ala,
also was low, with 5.3. Auburn, N.
Y, had a record Of 54.
High suicide rates, the Spectator
points out, have to certain extent
been connected with years of bad
business and years when business
houses failed, as in 1894. following the
1893 panic, when the general rate was
1913, and 1908, following the last panic,
when the rate reached the highest
mark in the country's history, 21.6.

suicides, the investigator found. OF
