ANIMALS AT WORK
WARS EFFECT UPON LABOR CON.
DITIoNs IN ENGLAND.
Novel Experiments Have Proved Sat-
isfactory, as in the Case of Store
keeper With His Parrot-Ele-
plant Replaces Horse.

Many strange and unexpected cases
are on record in which animals and
birds have proved themselves useful to
mankind, very often serving their mas
tiers more reliably than many human
beings would do under similar circum-
stances.
At times of stress like the present
such dumb servants have proved them
selves particularly useful, good in
stance in point being provided by the
case of gentleman in the west Of
England who recently lost his garden
er through the man enlisting. His mas
ter was confronted by the problem of
his lawn, about which he had always
been very particular, for the grass
quickly threatened to make his once
trim grounds look very much like a
wilderness.
Then he hit upon brilliant idea.
Wiring off the ground, he turned
in dozen guinea pigs, who promptly
proceeded to nibble away at the grass
as evenly and neatly as any moving
machine could have done, much to the
masters delight.
Similarly, an East End tradesman
lately found himself short-handed ow-
ing to the war, and after some thought,
this man hit upon a solution of the
problem.
He happened to possess pet par
rot, and this bird he placed in the out
er part of his shop and trained it to
call "ShOp!" whenever anyone en-
tered by way of the street door.
The parrot very quickly learned it's
lesson, with the result that it's master
was no longer obliged to spend all
his time on the lookout for customers,
but could attend to other matters,
knowing he could count upon his new
assistant to warn him of anybOdy's ap-
proach.
The intelligence of dogs is known
to everyone, but dog as golf cad
die is somewhat of novelty, you will
admit. Nevertheless, the animal is
no imaginary character, but real cad
die, who works on the links of GER
tain widely known course. Besides
carrying clubs, this dog proves him
self very useful in the matter of dis
covering lost golf balls, nosing about
until he is successful.
But the war has made one strange
spectacle possible in England. In
Sheffield an elephant may be seen
drawing heavy loads along the streets
1t is claimed for this particular ami
NAL that he can empty a nine-ton
wagon of coal in two journeys. Camels
have also been employed by the same
firm, but as draft animals cannot be
compared with the elephants.-London

Troubles Never Come sinolx.

A resident of BOothbay,, Me-, was
told by a neighbor that his sons cow
was out in another pasture, and start
ed to bring her in. He found cow
loose and set out in chase.
For an hour or two he chased one
Of the most obstinate and disgusting
animals ever born into the cow breed.
And at last he caught her and brought
her out to the road and was leading her
triumphantly home, when he met u
neighbor who asked him what he was
doing with another neighbours COW.
And SO it proved. For the original
stray cow was still in the wrong pas
ture, but tied securely to a tree. The
other COW had had perfect right to
it grazing ground.
The exasperated gentleman then set
out again and this time found the right
strayed cow and took her home.
When he arrived at his sons place
with his sons COW he found one of his
own cows in his sons field and eating
up the sons cabbages.

them.
John I Of France has to his
credit a reign of only five days.
For brevity that is hard to match.
Napoleon was emperor the second

Francis II ruled but year, Louis
X two years and Louis VIII three

Russia has also witnessed some

two years and Ivan vi for a year. Pc
ter II was car of all Russias for only

joseph Newman Company Coming Az ain.


Whenever the Joseph Newman
Company is announced to appear, the
people expect something good, some.
thing refreshing. and they are seldom,
If ever. disappointed. There is some
thing about Joe that creates the good
will and sympathy of his audience, no
matter what he essays. 1t is probably
his genial good fellowship that reaches
out even over the footlights. And
the programs, he and his Gle yer asso-
ciate artists present. never lose their
!ustre. On the contrary, they grow
brighter and better every season.
This year he will have with him as
violinist Miss Olga Ferlen, who
thoroughly understands the violin.
She not only pleases her audiences
with her musicianly Interpretation and
execution but she plays with, an ease
and grace that adds much to the en-
joyment. Miss Margherita Hendrix,
the soprano; has voice of beautiful
tone and quality and she sings with
finished artistry songs that appeal to
the heart. Helen keene the pianist
and aceompanist is q musician of
unusual ability and gifted singer as
well. She is in great demand for
concerts and recitals and is a favorite
with all who hear her. With two little
comedies 1T Pays To Advertise
