PROFESSOR I'm BAD" AGAIN
Only Casual Remark Brought Him to
4 Realization Of His Errand
TO the Doctor.

Professor GiglaDps dropped In at
his friend the doctors the other night
He was breathing heavily, and
seemed to be in a great hurry.
"Ah, professor!" said the doctor.
"Come in! Let me take your coat and
hat. Been taking sharp walk, after
the days work? How's the great book
getting on-the monograph ON Biolog-
ical Researches Among the Neolithic
Tribes of Northern Nigeria'?'
Once started on the topic nearest
his heart, the professor dropped into
an easy chair and talked for hours
A bottle of whisky was produced, and
it was about midnight before the guest
rose to leave.
"Well, goodnight, professor" said
the doctor. "Give my regards to all
at home. They are all well, sup
poser"
my goodness !" cried the professor,
clapping his hand to his brow. "That
reminds me! l knew 1 came to see
you about something, My wife's near
ly dying of ptomaine roisoa:ng!"

LOST ON THE DESERT AIR
Wrathfui Words in His harangue
Over the Wire.

Sputtering and fussing, an excited
old gentleman entered an office in
local skyscraper the other day and
without deigning to ask permission of
the girl stenographer, grabbed up a
telephone.
Yanking the receiver from its hook
the old gentleman began TO talk with
out pausing to learn whether or not
central had made his connection.
'Say." he yelled. ''is this Umson's?
Well, IL Mr.. Unison II there call him
to the phone"
The stenographer pulled at his coat
sleeve.
Mind your own business" the old
fellow tartly exclaimed, then turned
again to the telephone.
SAY, Unison, just want to call you
up to tell you that the tip you gave
me on those stocks was u tiiyver."
Again the girl plucked at his coat.
Waving her aside, the old man con-

1t was the telephone girl, but the old
man paid no attention.

The harangue kept up for several
minutes before the girl finally succeed

stopped long enough to say

ste. Anne de seaupre.

The shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre
is just an hours car ride from the
city of Quebec, but in that short dis
tance you seem to travel q thousand
miles from the modern world. The
quaint, bright little FrenchCanadian
town, stuck to the hillside like a swal-
lows nest to barn wall, with the
sheer mountain behind it and the wide
st. Lawrence in front and the great
stone church, its magnlficence con-
trasting strangely with its primitive
back ground of village and mountain,
call irresistibly to mind the story and
picture of medieval times.
The shrine of good Ste. Anne is Wis
tied by Catholics from all over the
world, for she is q saint of most un-
usual power In the front of the
church are piles of crutches and canes
that reach clear to the high pillared
roofs, and every one of them has been
brought by a grateful pilgrim whose
prayers for healing were answered,
and who promised to return to kneel
at the shrine.

The Broken Hill mines supply the

puny tracks that man has made upon
those mighty ridges are but as ants

of one mans little life the monuments

INSURANCE AMONG THE SWISS
Thrifty Person May Guard Himself
Against Almost Any Form Of Dis
aster to Be Dreaded.

A system of insurance against unem-
ployment prevails in some of the Swiss
cantons, whereby persons contributing
Il certain sum per month are guaran-
teed employment or paid weekly in
demnity for the period during which
they are out of work. Such persons
must, however. be able to show that
their unemployment is not their own
fault. This plan of insurance is, how
ever, not general, nor is it very popu-
lar, as it involves many details which
make it difficult for the beneficiaries
to secure the payment of the bene-
fits.
Employees of Swiss industrial insti-
tutiOns are required to, insure them
selves against sickness or accident,
and this measure also obviates to a
great extent the necessity for public
charity when wage-earners are de-
prived Of their income on account OF
illness or accident. Under the com
pulsory insurance act the expense Is
insured. This plan works most satis-
factorily, as the workers feel more
secure in their employment.
There are also other systems by
which employers and employees can
protect themselves against the expense
OF medical treatment and supplies in
case of illness or accident. The So
ciety for the protection of domestic
servants assumes, for instance, the
responsibility for the care and treat
ment of those enrolled upon its rec
Ords.
