AP0L0GIZlNG TO THE TIGER
Raymond Blathwayt Tells of His Ex-
periences While Connected With
Travelling Menagere.

In book of "reminiscences, Through
Life and Round the World" Raymond
Blathwayt tells the following story in
connection with a travelling menagerie
ne attached himself to while knocking
about the West during his salad days
"One day just after breakfast" he
says, 81 peeped in at the messroom
door. There was a full-grown tiger
licking the jam and bacon off the
plates.
"'Oh, I beg your pardon!' I ejacu-
lated, as l hastily shut the door, A
moment after I met Jack, the tigers
keeper.
al can't find that other tiger no.
where he said to me. 4 guess I've
misIaid the old critter

q good deal annoyed with the danger l
had so narrowly escaped. you'll find
him in the messroom licking the plates
"'Thank you, mate he said.
IAN hour after l overheard the pro-
prietor asking his little son if he had
washed up the breakfast dishes.
"'Hadn't no need to, pop; the tiger
licked 'em like he knew they wanted

ENGLISH AS SHE is SPOKE
What the American Soldier Intends to
Do With Kaiser Is Not Under
stood in England.

With commendable enterprise a Lon
don editorial brother seeks to clarity
for his readers the quaint expression of
certain American soldiers who have in
timated that their first undertaking in
Europe will be to "can the kaiser" In
interpreting them to intend to seal up
his high mightiness Theoretically, how
ever, the Londoner'S zeal outruns his
information.
Nix, nix, friend, it doesn't mean that
at all says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. 1t means merely that they pro-
pose TO decorate the German emperor
with hardware; to take his taw; pour
the leather into him; put him on the
pan; slip him one on the wind kid
nap his Angora; show him where he
gets off. To put 1t more plainly, hav-
ing bought chips in game where the
custom has been to play 'em close to
the waistcoat, the Americans have
taken off the limit and announce they
will copper all bets, see all raises and
intend, the very first time the kaiser
gets his feet wet, to call him off the
Christmas tree.
1t is plain in the circumstances that
our British brethren are about to find
their knowledge of English handsome
ly increased.

In one of the famous English cases
referred to in Chitty's Criminal Law"
1t was decided that spreading rumors
with intent to raise the price of par
ticular species of product, endeavoring
to enhance its price by persuading
others from abstaining from bringing
1T to market, and engrossing large
quantities in order to resell them at
the exorbitant prices occasioned by
their own articles, are offenses indict-
able at common law, and subject the
party so acting to fine and imprison-
ment at the discretion of the court
in which he is convicted"

Children and Untruths.

Why do children lie? Edwin S. Pull
Ter in the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the imagi
nation of Il child is stronger than his
intellect, that fiction is as real to q
child as fact.
"The cure for lies inspired by imagi
nation" he asserted, as the education
of the childs intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. AS his error
is mental, not normal, his cure must
be mental. 1t would be a grave error
of training to attempt to suppress his
Imagination as cure for his untruthS
Imagination Is the handspring which
moves his mentality to growth, hence
1t should be directed into rational
channels and not curbed.

Why Bottle Was Empty.

One delight of small Harold was to
go on an errand to a neighborlng store.
After school yesterday at No. he
was sent by his mother to get a siphon
of vichy. He was long in returning.
When he did arrive, his mother scold-
ed him for consuming so much time.
"Why," she exclaimed, land the 81
phon is nearly empty. Do you mean to
tell me that is all the vichy there was
In the bottle when you got it?"
"Well, mamma" Harold replied, ION
the way home 1 met little Sarah's cat"
"Well?"
'The cat said 'p-s-s-t' to me and the
siphon said 'p-s-s-t' to her"

ACQUIRING a Husband,

There is too much smiling and og-

Mrs. Freda Kupple, the shortgrass
widow. Mrs. Kupple didn't even take
the advantage of a face to face fiirta-
ton. She wrote her name on an egg
she was about to take to town and
the name was seen by a bartender in
the act of making a gin fizz. The bar
tender finally became her first hus-

A family tree is unquestionably OF

with lava and pumice stone. Still

A Few Wild Turkey Facts.

There are three varieties of wild
turkeys, the Mexican, North Ameri-
can and Honduras. The Honduras is
a native of the tropics and has a plum
age equal in brilliancy to that of the
peacock. Attempts to domesticate this
turkey have not been successful. The
domestic turkeys have been developed
from the Mexican and North American
varieties.

Sunday Walking Was ILLEGAL.

In England during 1869 two men
were found guilty of the crime of
walking from Bristol to Bath on Sun
day and We're fined 20 shillings (S4.SO)
each. The only traders allowed to
travel in England at that time were
milkmen. AT the present time rail-
roads have provided a special Sunday
schedule, excursions, etc, in order to
accommodate the travelling public.

FORESTRY REGIMENT FOR WAR
 SERVICE IN FRANCE

The department of agriculture au- thorizes the following:
 In response to numerous inquiries regarding the regiment of forest en- gineers, to be raised for service m France the forest service of the de- partment of agriculture, which is or ganizing the regiment at the request of the war deparement, makes the fol- lowing statement:
 A regiment of woodsmen and mill workers is being recruited for early service in France. Ii will be part corps which will aid in transporta- ton and other engineering work, and is being organized at the request of the allies.
 To Get Out Timber for Armies.
 The duty of this regiment will be to get out timber needed by the arm ies-ralroad ties trench timbers, mine props. bridge timbers, Lumber, and cordwood. The work will be perform e'i behind the battle lines in France but may fall within the danger zone.
 The regiments will be made up of picked woodsmen. Service in 1t will give such men chance to take the part in the war for which their life and training have peculiarly fitted them. For the logging crews killed axmen, sawyers, tie hewers, skidders, teamsters and blacksmiths are wanted Mliiwrights, sawyers, and engineers are needed to man portable sawmills

NEVER MIND KNOCKS.

Don't be afraid of knocks, boys. The harder you are bumped the high CT you bounce," says the Fraternal Record. And it may be added that the higher you bounce and the harder you are bumped the tougher you will get until finally the knocks will no longer hurt you. They will become nothing more than an incentive to greater endeavor. Few men have ever attained worth while place in the world until they had been soundly bumped. A course in the university of Hard Knocks is the best training in the world.

which will form part of the equlh mert; helpers are required for thk various activities connected with woodsmen operations and the mainte- nance of large camps.
 Recruits must be between the ages of IS and 45 years and must be citi- zens of the United States or have declared their intention to become such. They will be subject to the required for other military service.
 To Enlist.
 Enlistment will be for a period of four years, but active service may be required for only a portion of that period.
 The regiment will be made up of six companies of 164 men each. aside from battalion and regimental staffs. drivers, and commissioned officers. It will be recruited at once and sent overseas as soon as organized, trained and equipped. It will probably be as- sembled, at the engineering training camps at Fort Leavenworth. Kan, and American University. Washington, D. c.
 While designated to serve primarily as a mobile logging and milling crew. the regiment whll be organized on F Hilary lines and its members will be uniformed and armed like other inits in the United States army

over to the repulsive slaughter that has long since sickened our senses"
 And it is, indeed, as our friend said, hard to realize it. We have had only trifing glimpses of war thus far. Bodies of troops have marched in the recruiting parades with a frolicsome air; flags have been waved. and there has been deal of shouting and pa triotic fanfare but always with hol- iday atmosphere attached. Few real ized that the flag might soon droop with the weight of deeper crimson than glows in its noble stripes; that the brave lads in khaki were going to no summer encampment on the marge of some peaceful lake or verdant wood to pick mp a coat of tan and acquire additional brawn of limb but, instead were bound for a soul trying ordeal that would cause wide gaps in the stalwart ranks and bring the bitter ness of sorrow to many a home.
 Fewer still reahze that rich and powerful and resourceful as we are, the drains of war will test our strength to the utmost; that before the ultimate of our endeavors can bring the struggle to close there will very likely be a serious strain on our vast financial and industrial resources with resultant conditions that will be decidedly disquieting to l III of us.
 But with our troops at the front to enter the thick of the )attle 1t will doubtless be borne In ipon even the most unheeding that he hour of destiny is ringing for us 10 less than for the war distraught lations across the seas; that we are mbarked In war with all it's soul ickening accompaniments and trials nd must fight to the end, be it bitter IT otherwise to save ourselves from possible destruction at the hands of powerful and ruthless foes.
