HE WAS WILLING TO WAIT
Jim Had No Objection to Postponing His Legal Demise Until After
 WatermeIons Were Ripe.

Jim was a guest of the state. In fact, he was ordained to be such a guest until his demise, for which event the state had also fixed a date and place, providing also an appropriate length of rope, a sheriff and the ap- purtenances. It all came of Jim's having miscalculated upon the hard ness of Luke's head upon the Oe- casion of a falling out. The mistake had been fatal to Luke. Jim's turn was at hand.
 The sheriff, after the manner of his office, desired to be kind to Jim. Accordingly on the day immediately before the ceremony, a certain day in January, he asked Jim what he would like for dinner. Jim reflected care fully.
 Boss" he said, And like a waiter million"
 Brace up, Jim," the sheriff re- sponded. "Watermelons won't be ripe for six months yet"
 "Boss," answered Jim, earnestly, "ef it's jes' de same to you, Ahll wait till then"

First Draft Drqwing Date to
 Be on or About July 15tl

Although no official inform ation has been received by Col onel Fred $. Breen concerning the exact date of the draft for the new army, it is generally understood by those closely con- nected with the operation of the selective service law that the first drawing is to be held on July 18th. Arrangements for this drawing have been in pro- gress of making since the com pletion of the registration. The war department has hastened this work in order to hold the drawing at as early date as possible.
 The regulations concerning the exemptions to be granted by the various boards are expected to be promulgated some time this week. No drastic rules are ex- pected. On the contrary, they are to be most liberal in permit ting those who are actively en- gagged in professional occupations Tn any manner helpful to the government in prosecuting this war, to remain at home. Like wise, the rules are said to be strict against the exemption of men who are physically able to go to war and who have no de- pendants.
 Tt is not true that every mar ried man will be exempt" ," de- clared a prominent official recent ly in an interview. That was the plan first proposed" he add ed, "but later we got clear away from that idea. The question of whether a man is married does not figure in the regulations. The determing factor is whether he has persons really dependent upon him for support, either a wife or children, an old mother or father. No man who can show an actual legal dependent will be taken, but married men whose labor at home is not need

The Rural Store Philosopher.

To deride the whittlers and the gro- cery store philosophers shows intOler- ance. In these days of quick lOcomO- ton and communication our mental processes have speeded up until the leisurely discussions of the Old-fash- toned days are apt to be laughed at, says the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. But the scoffer may find by a tour of in- vestigation, especially among country town stores that keep open in the eve hing and are heated with a coal stove, that soap boxes and backless chairs may be the seats of the elect. That is. in the argumentative circle are to be found very often the thinkers of small community, compelled to make the corner store their club, with a membership truly representative of the great common people. Lincoln had many of the characteristics of the ru- ral store philosopher and he never des- pissed, rather valued, humble American opinion. Conclusions reached around the stove aren't always so far wrong.

SEA SNAKES VERY VEN0M0US There Is Little General Knowledge of the Many Reptiles That Infest the
 Ocean Waters.

Many persons are familiar with the names of the most dreaded and deadly of the poisonous land snakes, writes a contributor to Country Life, but very few, apparently, have any knowledge of the innumerable sea snakes, most of which are highly venomous, that in- fest the waters of the Indian ocean and the western Pacific.
 Nearly all of them differ from the land serpents by the laterally f1attened and Oarlike shape of the tail, and also by the scales of the under surface of the body. When cast ashore accident ally, the majority are quite helpless and soon die, for they are unadapted for getting about on land. Three spe- cies, however, differ from the majority of the sea snakes. One of the most common kind of a three-foOt snake that lives in the waters from the Bay of Bengal to Oceania. This species easily crawls on land, and sometimes makes journeys of a considerable distance inland.
 Most of the sea snakes have bril- liant cOlorings. They feed on fish and other marine creatures and are extraor- dinarily active. In length, they vary from about two feet to as much as ten or twelve feet. Sea snakes, also, differ from land snakes in the shOrtness of the tongue. In their natural element they thrust only the extreme tip of this organ through two small notches in the closed mouth. They have cOmpara- lively small nostrils, placed on the top of the snout, and furnished with. Q valve that opens to admit air and that closes to exclude water when the rep tile is beneath the surface.

Fires Extinauished Selves.

A fire in a church in Boston, Mass, melted the lead water pipes in the storeroom where it started, and the water gushed forth as from the fire mems hose. A manufacturer of metal pails, with an establishment in Phil adelphia, has his conscientiOusness to thank for saving his plant from a fire recently. His orders, says Popular Sci ence Monthly, were that all finished pails be filled with water and left sus- pended from the ceiling for time in order to test them. During the noon hour one day, while the men were at dinner, fire broke out in the testing room to such a degree that the solder of the balls connecting the pails melt ed and the pails dropped, splashing water all over the place and putting out +I.~> s-~

 At that moment a vulgar guffaw broke the respectful silence of the au- dience. The lecturer located it, then pointed a reproving finger at the inter- rupter.
