CATCHES MONEY BY PHONE
When Bill Blows out Of Window Hotel
Guests Quick Wit and Action
Saves u.

The quick wit of a guest in the
Bellevue Stratford saved him a good
sized banknote, q Philadelphia dis
patch to the New York Sun says. In
his room on the thirteenth floor, Broad
street front, he was handling some
money near an open window. A sud-
den gust of air lifted one Of the bills
and sent II through the window open
ing.
Without waiting to see what would
become of it he sprang to the tele-
phone and told the house operator
what had happened. In a twinkling
she OWNED the remedy and called
James Dinsmore at the baggage desk,
which is located Just inside the main
Broad street door. He took in the sit
uation Immediately, though he after
ward admitted he never had met quite
a similar state of affairs, and inside
or two seconds ne was telling Mike
Quinn, a porter, about the incident.
Mike was just as, fast as the opera
tor and the baggage clerk. He dashed
out to Broad street and looked up.
Sure enough, he saw the bill zigzag-
ging its way down. II was passing the
fifth floor, directly over the marquee.
It swerved out, however, and fell into
his waiting hands.

PRESERVE THE BIRDS.

Col. G.. o. Shields of New York,
president of the League of American
Sportsmen, places the annual cost to
farmers in this country because of
the destruction of birds at $1,000
100000. "There are 100000
shotguns in use" he said "and that
number is being increased 100000
every year. There are 9O0,OOO,OOO
shotgun cartridges being made and
burned each year in an effort to get
the remaining birds.
"The cotton growers are losing
$1OO,OOO,00O a year because Of the
ravages of the boil weevil. Quails,
prairie chickens, meadow larks and
other birds that have been almost ex-
terminated used to destroy these in
sects. Grain growers are losing a
like amount because of the chinch
bug. The Hessian fly is costing them

ROYAL VISIT WORKED WONDER
Wounded italian officer Recovered
Speech in His Surprise at Seeing
King Beside Him.

The king of Italy has been respon-
sible for one of the most extraordi-
nary occurrences OF the war. HIS
majesty has been constant in his WIS.,
its to the wounded soldiers, and one
day he arrived quite Unexpectedly at
q certain field hospital.
Among the patients there was a
young lieutenant who had been strick-
en- quite dumb by the bursting of an
Austrian shell. The poor fellow was
lying in bed feeling very miserable,
when, all of a sudden. he glanced up
and found the king standing by his
side.
In a moment he stared up in amaze
ment at the unexpected honor, and
shouted at the top of his voice:
"His majesty the king!" and burst
into a flood of tears.
The emotional shock, coming as 1t
did, so Unexpectedly, had completely
restored his power OF speech, and
even the king himself was overcome
by emotion at this extraordinary mir
acle.-Exchange.

Doctor Has 10000 Patients.

DIR. Wilfred Grenfell, who is in
charge of a division of the hospital
unit that has been sent to France by
Harvard university, has been termed
the doctor with the biggest practice
in the world" says the London
Globe.
The phrase is accurate enough, for
his work as missionary among the
fishermen in the northwest Atlantic
has made him responsible for the ply
steal as we'll as the spiritual welfare
of some 10000 men. AS a medical SUI
perintendent of the Mission to Deep
Sea Fishermen "Grenfell of Labra-
dor" has in fact been preacher, mis-
sionary, physician and surgeon COM
bined, and on one occasion he acted
as judge.
He has worked 20 years in the
North sea and Labrador, founded four
hospitals, an orphanage, a co-opera-
tive institute and effected real and
.beneficent transformation in the life
of his deep-sea fishermen.

POST OFFICE wrHoUrA DOOR
Architects Peculiar Omission In Dub
Inns Public Building Is 10
Be Rectified.

The General Post Office building
in Dublin, writes an Irish CORE
spondent, according to the Manches-
ter Guardian, has long been a stand
ing joke with the foreigner who has
visited Ireland. It dates from 1920,
and is an admirable piece Of archi-
lecture, with its magnificent pillars
that give out on the main thorough
fare of the city. Only, Francis John
son, the Irish architect, forgot one
thing. He forgot to add a door to
the doorway or portico of the build
ing. Descriptions Of this splendid
but ever-closed house, known to the
natives as a post Office, have gone all
over Europe during the last hundred
years. -
Familiarity breeds Indifference
CONTINUES our correspondent, says
the Guardian, and the curiosity Of
the thing seems to have struck very
few of our own Dublin people. Be-
sides, we knew, in fact, that it was
possible to find a way into the place.
We took, as a matter of course, the
dark and devious approach of back
streets to the side entrance through
which one passed in single file. 1t
was only few days ago that we real
lied the situation. Workmen had
been busy for some time at the front
of the building, and now it has be-
/. come evident that Johnson's omis-
sion is to be remedied. The door,
which historians will say it took a
hundred years to make, gradually
appears on Sackville street.
