PUT ONE OVER ON THE GUARD
Challenged Soldier Demanded sentl.
nePs Name on Pretext Of Report
lnq Him 70 Lieutenant.

Among the members of the Indiana
university ambulance corps at Allen
town. says the Indianapolis News,
there Is one man who from this time
on will require, while on guard duty,
any person whom he challenges at
night to furnish his full pedigree.
There is reason.
Recently while the section was on
guard at the camp this man was sta
toned at a distant post on the
grounds, at place where the guards
experience great deal Of trouble with
men climbing the fence during the wea
hours.
Shortly after one o'clock in the
morning the guard saw a man climb
ing the fence. He hurried up, chal-
lenged the man, and asked for an en-.
PLANTATION. It was forthcoming.
"Well," said the challenged ona,
you are to be congratulated. I have
been coming over this fence every
night for a weel. and I have never
been challenged before. I would like
you to Civ" me your name and your
section number, and will report you
to your lieutenant"
In a dazed manner the guard did sd
and the man walked off. Not until
he was "kidded" by his section mates
on telling the story did he fall for his
being duped. BE is now on the trail
Of the man whose ingenuity saYed
himself.

BARCELONA AN ACTIVE CITY
Most Progressive Of All Spanish Mu1
inequalities and Center Of the Rev.
oIutionary Movement.

The revolutionary movement IN
Spain centers in the city Of Barcelona,
The goal Of the revolutionfsts is a rel
public, and republics stand for prog.
ress. OF all Spanish cities Barcelona
Is the most progressive writes Niksha
For ten years the conservatives have
been looking askance at this great
modern shipping and manufacturing
center, so different from their sleepy
inland strongholds, and from the peas
ant villages Of the quiet hills, with POI
htical ideas Of the last century.
Barcelona Is great world city. 10
is outdistancing Marseilles as tha
Commercial queen Of the Mediterra-
mean. The Spaniard has often been
charged with lack Of business and
enterprise. Barcelona Is his answer.
Here his factories rival those of Lam
cashire, his shipping that Of Liverpool.
The great Industrial suburbs, each q
city In itself, are reminiscent Of the
outlying cities that cluster about
Manchester in the Industrial north Of
England.
Yet Barcelona remains characterize
tically Spanish. The city has taken
the ugliness, the bitter competitive
spirit Of modern industry, and, more
nearly than any other industrial CEN
ter, has blended them with beauty and
Latin courtesy and good nature. Bar
ce, ona is Spain awakened, but not
Spain transformed.
It is sunny town, with clear,
bracing air and blue sky that the
smoke Of a thousand chimneys never |
hides. It has plenty Of parks and
tree shaded boulevards; even its poor
er quarters lack the sordidness Of J
the Anglo-Saxon slum. The flower
markets, the promenades, the cafes,
are thronged with loungers, not Of the
leisure classes, but workmen in their
leisure time. The Spaniard has
learned to work without forgetting
how to idle. And withal, the crowds
are keen and wideawake, nightly In
terested in public affairs, and discuss
ing politics with the heat that Is q i
birthright in the Latin races. BARGE
Iona promises to remain at the fore
front Of progressive Spain.

Common coarse salt, when properly
applied to dirt roads, quite success

Of summer, according to Popular Ne
chanics Magazine. The scheme has
been tried in many places whore It OBJ
viatss the need Of street sprinkling.
The salt is scattered over The road sur

The natural affinity Of calcium ehlor-

ture keeps the thoroughfares fAirly
free from dust even during very dry
periods. The material II applied at
intervals Of about six weeks ct COM

to become thoroughly mixed with the
dirt before encountering heavy rain.

In China, all the weaving being done

MUSKRATS ARE FOUND EDIBLE
Little Animals Sold and Eaten In
Many Cities as marsh Rabbits"
According to Correspondents.

Newspaper correspondents advise
US, says the Peoria Journal, that last
fall ther appeared in the Washington.
New York and Boston markets many
barrels of plump little animals, all
dressed and skinned, which were sold
as marsh rabbits"
It appears that for several weeks
the good people bought these animals,
cooked them according to the special
direct. ons and served them at family
and party dinners as "rabbits"-not
realizing that this food was really
something vastly different from that
Of the ordinary rabbit.
Then came the announcement that
the marsh rabbit" was nothing less
than the muskrat.
All Of which goes to show that even
now the American people are not
averse to being fooled. In fact, they
like it. Barnum's statement holds true
as 1t did when he displayed sand
papered elephant as ''the only sacred
white elephant in captivity"
We sometimes think that this Is
becoming a marsh rabbit age"

Natures Wondrous Ways.

One Of the most curious Of natures
Inventions IL that Of an egg that can't
roll of shelf. It is absolutely impor.
tant to . certain species Of seabird-
the murre. This feathered creature
builds no nest, but lays its eggs on
narrow shelves Of PERCEPTIONS recks.
Ordinary egss-those Of the domestic
hen. for example, If deposited in susl
places, would be liable to roll on and
smash. But the murre's egg Is Of such
q shape that II disturbed 1t simply
rolls In a circle. Such being the case,
the female murre experiences no anxi-
ETY.. She could incubate her progeny
on an ordinary mantelpiece and be sat-
isfied Of their,safety.
