ST. Gerhard Doc a Hero.

Brown is big st. Bernard dog OF
Boston, famous for his intelligence. It
was his habit to go with the nurse
when she wheeled the baby out for an
airing. There was high embank-
ment with a steep incline goinS down
at a sharp angle, and on one occasion
the nurse, going in to pay visit to
some of her friends, left the carriage,
with the baby in it, perilcusly near
the dangerous spot. Something start
ed the wheels in motion, and the car
riage rolled down toward the danger
GUS edge. In a moment more it must
have gone over, when Brown threw
himself efore the wheels and lay
there, holding the carriage back by
the weight of his body until the truant
maid returned.

"Deerstalking" is a game In which
only two players take part, but 1t is
very exciting to watch. Both deer
and STALKER" are blindfolded. They
then are placed at opposite ends of n
large table.
At a given moment they begin to
move around 1t. The stalker's busi-
ness, of course, is to catch the deer,
and the deers to avoid it, But neither
must run ont of the room. Absolute
silence must be kept by the audience
and players, and, if felt slippers can be
worn by the deer and Its stalker, so
much the better

How to PLAY "Rabbit.v

A game which can be played at any
time and place is as follows:
The leader, who knows the game,
asks each one in turn, "Do you know
how to play rabbit?" When all have
answered she says. "Do just what |
do"
First.-All stand in row.
Second.-All kneel down on one
knee.
Third.-All place the first finger of
the right hand on the floor
When all the players are in the po-
sition and about losing their balance
the leader who is at the head of the
line, pushes against the player next to
her, thus knocking over the whole row.
AS they fall, amid laughter, she calm
ly announces, 'That is the way to play
rabbit"

General Sir Charles Carmichael Mon
70. who was recently appointed to
command the British First army in
France and Flanders. has been on the
fighting line since the outbreak of the
war.
Last October General Monro was
sent to the east for the purpose of
reporting the state of affairs In which
General Sir Ian Hamilton had left his
army and for extricating the army
from its predicament If possible. In
accomplishing the evacuation of the
northern zone of the Gallipob penin-
sula with the loss of but three men
wounded and of six guns he appears
to have accomplished his task bril-
liantly and Is accordingly rewarded
with the command of the First army.
At the opening of the war he went
to France with Sir John French, and.
while he ranked as commandant of
division, he was actually In charge of
only brigade. 1t was not until the
series of great battles fought on the
line between Ypres and La Basse in
the fall and winter of 1914-15 that his
talents attracted attention.
His career, like those of practically
all distinguished British officers, has
been made In India, Egypt and South
Africa. After the Boer war he was
recalled to England and for several
years was chief inspector of the School
OF Musketry at Hythe, then becoming
commandant of the school. The pres
ent war found him assigned to the
territorials with the rank of major
general.

George w. Bope, the flute-player
whom Gov. Willis appointed inspector
of factories, was brought before the
state industrial commission Tuesday
for investigation. Some time ago
Bope got drunk and made a show of
himself on street car in Columbus
The scandal was smoothed over and
he was allowed to continue in office,
perhaps because of his threat that if
he were dismissed he would tell some
Republican secrets. On Monday, when
Bope was called upon by some New
Straitsville men on an official matter,
they found him too drunk to do busi-
ness. When hailed before the indus
trial commission, Bope stated that he
had taken too freely of cough medi-
cine Bope should not take any
chances on the treacherous cough
medicine, but should conf1ne the in
diligence of his bibulous inclinations
to Newt. Miller's Green River whis-
key. That is the official brand of the
administration.

SCOUTS Should Keer Healthy.

A scout keeps himself healthy and
strong. To be able to live up to the
requirements of scout Il boy must
be Systematically taking exercise, play
ing games, running and walking. He
must sleep enough hours to give him
necessary strength and, If possible,
sleep much in the open or at least
with the windows of his bedroom open

take cold bath often, rubbing dry
with rough towel. He should breathe
through the nose and not through the

A new device for crumbing the din
ing table works on the principle OF
a parlor sweeper, which rolls over the
surface and gathers up the particles
by means of revolving brush, the
aforesaid accumulations being deposit
ed in compartments which are located
before and behind the broom.
The new device Is quite small and
incOnspicuous, and after the principal
courses of the meal have been served
the maid propels the new crumber
over such portions of the table where
there may be crumbs. and few
passes of the new crumber leave the
surface of the linen entirely clear of
all particles.

From advance dope, the game with
