Crumbs

In oiden times there was a certain
Rich Man who was clothed In purple
and fine linen and who dined sumpt-
uously every day. There was also q
BegFar who lay at the gate OF the Rich
Man and begged for the crumbs from
the Rich Mans table and was refused
them.
And Il came to pass that this Rich
Man died and lifted up his eyes in
Hell.
This Is an old story. You have heard
II often. II can be repeated in 1917
for the Allies are asking only the
crumbs from the Rich Mans table and
IL they are not given we will lift up
our eyes in hell.
II Is food that is going to keep the
Germans out of the United States.

WAYS OF SUMMER BoARDERs
They Are Usually Very Witty Persons
Who Make comieai Remarks to
the Farmer.

Summer boarders are people who
spend several weeks In the country
each summer longing for a trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make comical remarks to the farm
er. Aside from the board they pay
him the farmer cleans up a tidy sum
each summer by sending the things his
boarders say to the comic weeklies. A
summer boarder can merely look at a
COW and quick as wink he will say
something funny. The farmer puts
this down In a book he always carries
around with him. In the course of a
couple of weeks he has several pages
OF good jokes to sell at his own rates,
says the Philadelphia Star.
If you board with farmer this sum-
mer say some funny things to him
about the cows or the pigs. If he
keeps horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will go in and
open up a can of fresh country peas
out Of his own cellar SO that when you
go back to the city you will miss the
country vegetables. When you leave
be sure and tell him how you enjoyed
the country eating so that he can laugh
some more.

sparrow in New Role.

An incident probably unique in the
annals of the stage was witnessed by
q crowded house at the opera house
in Cape Town during matinee. I'm
mediately the curtain rose on the gar
den scene in which a parrot and perch
are a feature, a sparrow few down
from the dome of the theater onto the
stage and hoped and flew about quite
fearlessly, picking up the parrot food
and the ground rice (thrown in this
scene) at the feet of the astonished
actors, taking not the slightest notice
of their movements, not even the dane
ing disturbing its equilibrium. When
the scene neared its end the sparrow
flew up onto the front of the dress cir
Gle and then disappeared in the dome.
The incident caused the greatest
amusement. both to the company and
TO the audience-the latter being quite
under the impression that the sparrow
had been trained and was part Of the
show.
