Airmen Are snortsmen.

The fate of an airman who comes to
grief generally becomes known to his
comrades, and through them is COM
municated to his friends at home.
The explanation Of this is that prac-
tice has sprung up on both sides Of
dropping messages into the opposing
lines reporting exactly what has hap
pened to any flyer who has been
forced to descend. One OF these mes
sages dropped in the British lines
showed an intimate knowledge Of Lon
don. After mentioning that a par
ticular airmaa had been taken pris-
oner, but was uninjured, the message
continued: Hope the British avi-
ators are going strong. Give my re-
CARDS to Leicester square, dear Pic
cadilly, and Mayfair. Sorry can't
stay"

Belleville, Jan. 11.-Last Wednesday
Mr.. Jim Talent brought to this office
an animal or species of reptile which is
new to this part of the country.
While Mrs. Talent was preparing
cabbage for dinner she discovered some
thing wrapped around one of her fingers
and found it to be what is known as a
cabbage snake
1t is peculiar thing, being when
alive the exact color of cabbage, and
when dead resembles an ordinary violin
string. This one measured 10 inches in
length and after being taken from the
cabbage lived only about 80 minutes,
crawling around on the table with head
erect just like snake Mr.. and Mrs.
Tallnet were familiar with the sort,
having seen many of them in their old
home in Tennessee, and says that in
that locality cabbage growing has
been abandoned for the reason that
these snakes infest the cabbage so COM
monty that the people refuse to use it..
