ANIMAL HABITS NOT CHANGED
Sheep Run to the Hills, Hogs Grunt as
q Signal, Dogs Fashion
Their Own Bed.

Sheep. when frightened, always run
to an elevation, because their ances.
tors originally came from the noun
tains. They always follow leader,
because in the dam Derous mountain
passes their ancestors had to 60 in
single file. Hogs grunt because their
feeding grounds were thick woods,
where they could not see one another,
and sound was necessary to keep them
together.
Dogs have a way of turning around
several times before they lie down.
This looks very foolish now. but when
they were wild things centuries ago,
they slept in the tall grass and turned
around several times to hollow out q
bed, and they have never outgrown
this habit, but to this late day they
will turn around on rug just as If
they were in the tall grass.
Cats have, perhaps. the most traces
of old ancestral habits. Many times
they do have a trace of the lion or
tiger very near the surface. Their un.
certain temper, their purring and grow.
ling. their sudden bounds, their ten.
dency to scratch, all come from the
forest and the jungle.--Indianapol

'FRIGHTFULNESS' BY

Ripe Tomato Bombardment
Routed a "Gott Strafe Eng.

The latest tale of frightfulness
comes from Lausanne. In one Of the
most fashionable restaurants recently
all the tables were occupied except
two small ones not far from each
other. when man and woman, un-
mistakably German, entered. The
woman wore light wrap, but when
she had seated herself at one Of the
tables she removed it and it was seen
that she wore on her expansive bosom
an enormous brooch with the inscrip-
tion in brilliants, scott Strafe Eng

A few moments later an English.
man, accompanied by countrywom.
an, seated himself at the other table,

er, the Englishman said to him that
such violation of good taste in neu.
tral country was an insult that could
not be borne. He told the waiter to
inform the German that the ordinary
civilities would suggest that the
brooch worn by his companion should
be taken off.
The head waiter had little stomach
for such job, and feebly demurred
whereupon the Englishman rose and
In excellent French addressed the Ger.
mans. In a clear voice he repeated
what he had said to the head waiter
but, except for supercilious shrug OF
the shoulders, the Germans gave nc
evidence that they had heard his re.
marks. although everyone else in the
restaurant understood what he had
said and looked their sympathy.
The Englishman, without showing
any signs Of anger, reseated himself

to the waiter. When the soup was
served the. waiter also brought on q
platter dozen large ripe tomatoes
which were placed on the table. The
Englishman and his companion, after
finishing their soup, deliberately pick.
cd up the tomatoes and rained upon
the two Germans the ripe vegetables
splattering their faces and breasts
with the soft. juicy contents.
The applause and laughter of the
other diners appraised the objects OF
this novel form Of raprisal that they
could find no support or sympathy and
they fled from the restaurant in great
precipitation. "Let them CO." an
