Utah Bird Sanctuary.

In an effort to save the rapidly dis

the establishment of Utah's first bird
sanctuary, to cover an area of 700
acres. The use of the land is given
free virtually to the state by property

ways look at the person to whom you
speak. When you are addressed, look
straight at the person who speaks to
you. Do not forget this. Another is !:
Speak your words plainly; do not NUT

saying, they are worth pronouncing
distinctly and clearly. A third is:
Do not say disagreeable things. If you
have nothing pleasant to say, keep
silent. A fourth is-and oh, girls, re-

Women Who Smoke.

Smoking by women of the educated
class in America is so recent a habit
that we are rather apt to forget that,
taking the sex all the world over, prob
ably the majority smoke, and of those
who do the pipe is the form of in
diligence generally favored. In Japan,
for example, woman has smoked ever
since tobacco was introduced, and in
variably used the pipe of metal with
the tiny bowl holding only sufficient
tobacco to provide half a dozen whiffs,
which was in universal use until the
cigarette entered Japan with other
western innovations. In Ireland the
peasant woman is often to be seen with
a pipe in her mouth +; and it is generally
a clav.-New York Morning Telegrnrh

HIS TREASURE WAS A ROCK
Overjoyed at Supposed Good Fortune,
a kentuckian tainted When PIow
Struck Hard Object.

For generations tradition has de-
creed that the Indians in the aborig-
inal days of Kentucky buried a pot of
gold on the farm of John Williams in
Casey county. A few days ago Mr.
Williams decided to institute a system
attic search for the treasure, the Davis
vile (Ky) Messenger states. His pow
erful team of mules he hitched to a
strong pillow and in the locality where
the gold is supposed to be hidden he
began digging deep into the earth. 1t
always has been claimed that the pot
is of gigantic proportions. After con-
siderable deep blowing had been done
and numerous excavations made, Mr..
Williams mules came to a sudden
standstill when the pillow struck an OBJ
ject that could not be moved.
So, certain that he had found the
traditional pot, he was overjoyed and
tainted. Passers-by hurried to his as
sistance and he was survived, and told
those present what he was seeking.
An excavation was made and it was
proved the pillow had struck a huge
rock. However, the search is being
continued.
There are a number of farms in
Boyle county upon which it is alleged
large quantities of silver and gold are
buried. In most cases it is said to
have been hidden by misers or fright
ened people during war times. Not
a few early residents lost their lives
by keeping their money in their homes
and attempting to hold it against the
intrusion of robbers. That was one
reason treasures were buried.
Some years ago some parties near
Paint Lick, in Garrard county, in
wrecking an old house found several
thousand dollars which had been hid
den during war times. The man who
had hidden the money died without
telling the secret.

In each of these a soldier was strum- ming on . piano; others were reading books and magazines; hundreds were writing letters home. Behind the raised counter at one end three or four young men were busy passing. out notepaper and envelopes, selling stamps and weighing parcels, which the men were sending home.

 How close those benches were pack ed with men, bending over the long tables absorbed in their writing! What an appeal to the sympathies those great groups of soldiers make! Fine, clean-cut, upstanding fellows, some of them mere boys, one thinks immediately of the sacrifice they have made for the rest of us and how pre- cious they are to some one back home. Somewhere, in far of farm or village or city street, there are parents or brothers or wives who would give all they possess for one glimpse of those sunburned faces as you and I see them on their last night before going across.

 Snapshots Of kaieidoseopie Work.
 In all the big cities in France where our men pass through in large num- bers. the Y NJ c A is operating hostels. where they can get beds and meals at a minimum cost In London the American Y M c. A mas erected e large building for our soldiers and a clubhouse for American officers.
 There are Y. M c. A dugouts right behind the front line trenches, where the soldiers can get hot drinks. crack CTS and other comforts at all hours
 Over 2,000 men who had been reject ed on account of physical disability have been able to get into the British army by reason of the physical work of the British Y M. c. A.
 A fleet of motor cars leaves the big Y. M. c. A. headquarters in London at midnight every night to pick up sol diers who are wandering about the streets without any wholesome lodging in which to spend the night These cars are operated by Englishwomen of position and refinement, who report that they never meet any discourtesy at the hands of the soldiers. The i'm portance of this service can be esti- mated by the fact that at least bo,000 week. over half of these sleep in Y. M. c. A beds every night.
 Entertainment on Vast Scale.
 The Y. M. c. A. has erected big auditorium, seating 5000, in each of the big draft camps, and huge chautau- qua tents, seating 2,500 in the other encampments The association Is run ming . 22 week entertainment circuit among the camps and Is paying 16 companies of entertainers, who are travelling to 30 camps performing be- fore the men.
 In each of the draft camps tho Y. M. c. A. has ten secretaries engaged in educational work. The association Is seeing to 1t that every man who cannot speak English Is taught to do so. In many of the camps the asso- ciation has a singing director, who Is teaching the men to sing the popular and martial airs that do so much to keep up their spirits.
 Of GA Y. M. c. A! men at Camp Dix only three are being paid full sal aries. In all the camps the majority of the Y. M. c. A. men have left lucra- tive positions to do this work simply because its appeal Is irresistible to any red blooded man. Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch singer and come dian, now on his farewell concert tour in the United States, is giving ali his spare time to the service of the asso- citation and Is singing to the soldiers at all the camps he can reach.
 In one of the draft camps the Y. NJ c. A. is supervising athletics on 12O playing fields, providing full athletic equipment. The winners of the inter- regimental games will play the cham pions of the other camps.
 One of the greatest services render ed by the association is the making
