The Homing Instinct

The following should be appreciated by our friend the angler, who must be weary of having his statements doubted
 At the monthly meeting of cer- tain homing soicety one of the mem- bers related an interesting experi- ence. He had, he said, recently sold a couple of "squeakers" very young pigeons-to man whose cote was 200 miles away. He sent them off by train, and was astounded to find them back in the old cote couple of days later.
 There was a painful silence, broken at length by the presidents "Won- derfulw
 "You doubt my word?" demanded the narrator of the story.
 "Not bit of it" was the reply. "It's strange coincidence, that's all. l sold the very same man a setting of eggs in the middle of June. Before the end of the month those birds had matched out and had flown back to me. Homing instint's a wonderful thing!"

A Certain Cure

So many accidents had happened in the mines that a number of miners determined to join the local ambu- lance class. When any of their mates happened to cut his finger or sprain a wrist, there was a general rush for the wounded man by the ambulance corps, and by the time they had fin ished with him he usually looked like a cross between an Egyptian mummy and an out-patient at hospital.
 All this, of course, was valuable practice, and after many months of hard work in the class examination was had.
 Suppose one of your mates should be badly frost-bitten, how would you treat the easel" asked the examiner.
 "Why rub him with a man who's had touch of sunstrokeW said know ing George. "That 'ud bring him around quick enough"

Try This

Here are twenty-one common words frequently misspelled. Get someone to dictate the following paragraph to you and see how many of them you can spell correctly:
 "The privilege of separating ninety miscellaneous calendars arranged in two parallel lines, was against the principles of the superintendent, so his niece, not to disappoint the govern ment or cause it to lose business, re- moved the principal calendars and thus relieved her uncle of strain which might have brought on dis ease. Then she believed it had be- come truly necessary for her to re- ceive her instruction in grammar.

What Children Need Now

In spite of the best care mothers can give them this weather brings sickness to many children. Safe, re- liable family medicines are in de- mand. Mrs. T.

The Curious Turk

Some of the stories told by the Aus tralians are very amusing. There is one, for instance, of great big Turk about six feet four inches, who came wandering into our trench with a sugar bag on his back.
 Do you want to give yourself up 2" we asked, expecting to hear that he did.
 "No fear" he said; q don't want to give myself up, I am the cham pion bomb thrower of Turkey"
 With that he opened his bag and disclosed trench mortar bomb. q want to see the man who threw that" said the Turk. We were highly amused and allowed him to go back.

Mandy, Pse a sick man." said Jake, looking very miserable. "At de hors- pittle dey says I'se got berkerlosis"

Willard's Thearts.

Jess Willard threatens to return to the ring and defend his laurels if sufficient inducement is held out by the garrulous promoters of the country. Willard's talk at this stage is made for no other purpose than to advertise the circus with which he is travelling. It is ridic- ulous for circus managers to foist fighters on the pupblic as side show attractions. Their place is in the ring, although, perhaps, there are lot of freaks among present day mitt men.
 It must bring blush to the cheeks of Jim Corbett and John L.. Sullivan, aud even old Bob Fitzsim- mons. when they read of the rec ord purses offered the present title holder. The mad rush of promoters after Willard is not warranted. He licked Jack Johnson when the lat ter was an old man, down and out. just as Johnson whipped Jeff when the Californian was through as a fighter. And yet Willard demands and has received as much as $49,- 900 for a ten-round bout. Next time he doesn't think he can work for less than $5O.OOO. And still they holler when Welsh asks for a modest purse for his bouts. If Will lard is worth S5O,OOQ then the Bri- ton is worth double that figure. He has earned the right to demand fancy purses, while even Willard's supporters must admit that he has not done enough fighting to work up an appetite.

Whole grain products are highly
recommended by physicians and
guardians of public health every
where as being more wholesome
than the ordinary finely sifted flour.

rapidly growing industry.
Some local men as we'll as busi-

ley are financially interested in this
new concern.
