INSECTS TENACIOUS OF LIFE
Are Able to Survive Injuries Which
Would Cause Death in Higher
Forms Of Animal Life.

The unusual success Of insects In the
struggle for existence has been a sub
ject Of much discussion In scientific
circles. Just why 1t is that these lit
tie creatures have survived the ravages
Of birds and other enemies, as well as
the ingenious contrivances Of man for
their destruction, and form today the
most numerous class of animals on
the face of the earth, leaves q wide
field for argument and conjecture.
Two important reasons for this have
been pointed out by naturalists, |. e.,
their prollficacy and their extraordi-
nary adaptation to environment. An
other just as potent reason, which has
received less attention, is their amaz-
ing tenacity to life, many species be-
ing able to survive injuries which
would cause almost instantaneous
death In the higher forms of animal
life.

ODD THOUGHTS OF CHILDREN
There IL Mental Region Into Which
the "orownups" Have No Right
to Enter.

This Is a region into which the
"grownup" has no right Of entry and
no key to turn the lock. says London
Spectator. Only now and then fash
may disclose the inner recesses and
throw a sudden light on an entirely
surprising line OF thought. A child
frequently cherlshes a theory OF its
own, which appears quite reasonable.
for the enchanted precincts within,
where the supernatural obtains as
ready an acceptance as the common
place. A little thoughtful boy Of my
acquaintance was asked the usual
question, what he was going to be.
He answered with great decision:
ooh a land agent Of course, like dad
dy." And 1 think daddy" and the
land agency profession scored a COM
pliment.
Time does not exist for children,
who worry over no human limitations.
A little girl saying her hymn, There
is a green hill far away" was thrilled
, to hear that her mother knew the lady
who wrote 1t. Then she repeated her
psalm, and added gravely: "And did
you know David, toof The train Of
thought is rather charming which led
a little boy, when told not to mention
a guests amputated foot, to say: mo,
and when I get to heaven l won't say
anything to John the Baptist about his
head" Surely pollteness could go no
further. Often an entirely different
mental image is conJured up In the
child's mind from that suggested by
the grownup story teller. One mother,
recounting at great length the details
of the Illness Of little dog to her
small girl, several times mentioned
"the dog DOCTOR" She was surprised,
at the very end by the question !:
"What sort of dog was the dog doc
tori"

BULLDOG PROTECTS CHILD
Faithful Animal Brought Little Mis-
tress Safely Through PerlIs When
She Was Lost In Mountains.

This is the story of baby and a
bulldog. Ellen Grimes, aged four
years, put a blue ribbon on her
tbrindle bulldog Bob and came down
the perilous trail to Boulder, Colo,
-1from her home on the top of Sugar
loaf mountain to tell how she and
tKer pet spent two days and nights
wandering over mountains, along
lprecipices and through canons while
Ia posse of 200 men, headed by pack
-lof bloodhounds searched for them.
"Me and Bob jes' went walkin',"
.she said. ''When l got hungry l
picked berries and ate them. When
i was sleepy l crawled in place UNI
tder rock and Bob crawled in after
me-"
! Bob's nose was full of porcupine
lquills as evidence Of at least one bat
tile fought to save his little mistress.
How often the brindle bull kept be-
tween Ellen and the edge Of a preci-
pice, how often he guided her away
from the treacherous holes with
which the mountain sides are pep
fpered, how often he saved her life,
bob alone knows, and Bob won't tell.

BIG COAL SUPPLY in ALASKA


Responding to the statement that
Che United States will require 15,-
600, 900 tons Of coal year for naval
opposes, which Secretary Daniels
recently made, the answer Of Alaska
is; eve have the coal ; come and get
it,
I The fact is that one Of the wisest
measures Of preparedness which con-
gress made for the war, as is now
demonstrated, was the provision for
the construction Of the railroad to
the Matanuska coal fields, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. That was
q great national project Of prepared
mess, the value Of which will be fully
appreciated if the government fol-
lows the work promptly and lends
every possible assistance toward get
ting the Matanuska field opened up
to the largest possible production.
The coal from that field will meet
the highest requirements Of the navy.
There is an inexhaustible quantity Of
lit. The quicker the road is COM
Ipleted, the mines opened and the
coal being moved to deep water the
better.
The government has been paying
extravagant prices to have coal trans
ported from the Atlantic to the Pa
scifc for the use of the feet in Pa
Ecifc waters, directing to this pur-
pose much tonnage which is needed
greatly on every sea. 1t is an unnec-
essary expenditure and an unneces-
sary division Of tonnage. The coal
lis in Alaska; it can be opened when
terms are made with people who will
lease and open the properties if
lgiven a chance to do so; or the gov
Eernment might open mines for naval
uses.
As a military measure there are
few things which would be of greater
value to the country at this time
than the opening of the Alaska coal
fields to immediate use. The navy
needs the coal. The country needs
the coal. Why not go and get it?

copyrighted. 1914. by Thomas ]. Sulllvanl
Ridicule may be an evidence of wit
or bitterness and may crafty a little
mind or an ungenerous temper, but Is
no test of reason, truth or manhood.
Ridicule. besides being conscious and
unconscious. may also be indirect as
we'll as direct. negative as well as
positive, paralyzing as well as anus
ing. And myriad in number and kind
are the ridiculous suggestions made
and being made by the enemies and
victims of the mail order concerns in
the hope of stopping their onward
march of progress
Do merchants always appreciate
their advantage? Would a friend Of
the merchant or dealer have sent his
first order to u stranger who showed
pictures instead of goods, who talked
on paper instead of face to face, who
demanded pay in advance Instead of
allowing more unlimited credit had
the merchant improved his advan-
tages?
Ought to Emulate Rivals.
1t would seem that after one expe-
rience Of long delays, quite common
and to a great extent unavoidable In
trading with mail order houses, after
one experience Of putting things to-
gether for himself. after one expe-
rience of waiting for missing part,
the friend would not have taken the
trouble TO order by mail from stran-
ger had the local merchant or dealer
always improved his opportunities.
Everything TINT happens to us leaves
some trace behind Il; everything con-
tributes inperceptibly to form us. Yet
often it is dangerous to take a strict
account OF that. for either we grow
proud and negligent or downcast and
dispirited. aud both are equally in
furious In their consequences. Always
the safe plan Is TO do the task which

In certain Indiana town a young
man ordered a heating stove, price
SS,95. When the stove came he was
very much disappointed. The stove
was small. while the picture in the
catalogue made 1t appear large and Or

it. but would have selected one for

right kind and one that would have
satisfied his needs.

Mail Order Fence In Woodshed.
Another man living in village or
dered some wire fencing from a pic
ture in a catalogue, and when 1t came
it was so cheap looking that his pride
would not allow him to disf1gure his
grounds with such a fence, so he stor-
ed 1t In his woodshed and bought what
he wanted from his local dealer.
A lady In a little town in Missouri
sent to one Of the large mail order
houses for a pair Of shoes, inclosing
Sl.97 with her order. After two weeks
the shoes came by freight; charges
were 25 cents, which she paid. After
taking the shoes home she found they
did not fit, so she repacked them and
sent them back by express, and after
another two weeks wait another pair
of shoes came by freight with more
may, these shoes were no nearer a At

In despair and visited her local dealer,

We should like to suggest to the con-
