SCOT BEATS LAW BY A NOSE
Thirsty Sandy, IN Wild Race Against
Time, Arrives on Quarter Minute
and Gets His Drink.

Writing in Everybody's, Maude Rad
ford Warren enumerates some amusing
incidents showing the effects of linn
tied war prohibition In England. One
evening the author witnessed the fol.
lowing race against time that was
staged near Victoria station, London,
at an hour when traffic is thickest:
Presently shouting and cursing
arose at the center Of the intersecting
streets. People turned, peering and
gaping. Streaking straight through
the traffic, regardless Of laundering
trucks and sliding cabs and obstruct-
ing pedestrians, came q Scotchman.
His eyes were CLASSY and staring; his
kits were flying; his knees were twin
king. On he came, straight for the
public house. IF he could get hand
on a glass of his national vodka by
8 :2o3s, he was saved. Would he make
1t? A group Of ribald Americans
cheered him on, yelling at him in race
track fashion. His fellow Scotchmen
silently made way for him, and some
Of them even pushed people out Of his
path. But they did not cheer; 1t was
a matter too deep for sounds. On
came Sandy: painting, glaring, he
leaped through the door, and SYM
pathizer from over the seas who fol-
lowed him reported that 9 :29% he had
a strong Highland paw curled around
three fingers Of Scotch. The early
closing law, thanks to good sprinting,
had been respected-but nevertheless,
the trench had been taken and the day

DANIEL BooNE's LONG SWING
Pursued by indians, He Cut Grapevine
Near Ground and Sailed Far
Enough TO Break Track.

Do you remember reading In one
Of the school histories about how the
doughty Daniel Boone, when pursued
by Indians on his way to the unknown
wilderness Of Kentucky, cut grape
vine near the ground so that 1t formed
q swing upon which he Travelled
through the air far enough to break
his track3 II you read 1t, you prob
ably thought II bit f1shy, writes
Niksah. Unless you live somewhere
in the Allegheny mountains you would
not believe that wild grapevines are
long enough or strong enough or hold
onto the trees tight enough to make
much of swung.
AS matter of fact, there is no rea-
son to doubt that Daniel made the
swing and got away from the Indians

land and eastern West Virginia, across
which Daniel took his hazardous way
the boys are still making such swings
just for fun. And royal fun 1t Is. The
writer was driving through the noun.
tains near the upper Potomac when he
saw some enormous grapevines droop-
ing go or 70 feet from the tops Of the
trees. They had been cut close to
the ground, and the hillside above
them was all plowed up by the feet Of
youngsters.
The temptation to try the Daniel
Boone stunt was as irresistible. 1t was
quickly proved that by taking run.
ming start down the hill one could
swing most amazing and breath-tak-
ing distance right out over the creek.
Swings made with ropes were tame by
comparison. But there was no tempta-
ton to emulate Daniel by letting loose
at the end of the swing. It took
pioneering nerve to do that.

MATR1MoNY.

Matrimony Is the United States
Of Love. It is union of the settled
state, the contented state, the busted
state and the states Of rapture, resig-
nation, distraction and many others.
Matrimony is also very peculiar
form OF arithmetic, IN which one and
one make one and later on nine or
ten. AS soon as a young man and
young woman find that one parlor.
one chair and one name are quite
enough for both of them, they are
made one by law and are then privi-
legged to get along on one income
for the rest of their lives.
MatrimOny is the origin of the
home, the hall mark of civilization,
and the hope of the census bureau.
Without matrimony man is a use
aess cumberer of boarding houses
and woman lonely antique. But
there Is such thing as being too en-
thusiastic about matrimony. It Is
very easily carried to excess. To
marry two wives without a vacation
between Is considered worse than to
vote twice at the same election. In
uncivilized nations, men frequently
have half a dozen wives at the same
time and support them in luxury.
This is called polygamy. Polygamy
Is a very peculiar form Of misplaced
bravery.
When a man marries, he swears to
love, cherish and protect his wife
and to endow her with all his
worldly goods. Men are so wicked,
however, that great many Of them
persistently hold out cigar and
lunch money. When a woman
marries, she swears to love, homer
and obey her husband. However,
the word "obey" Is being cut out of
many ceremonies as a dead letter
law which shows that the married
state is more careful about dead
letter laws than most other states.
Getting married Is serious mat
tar and yet young people tackle the

Burns love affairs were both the
product and the inspiration Of his
genius. Although he had written to
Clarinda Of Edinburgh that, COM
pared with her, Jean Armour was as
the expiring glimmer of farthing Ia.
per beside the glory of the meridian
sun, he married Jean within two
months. Last year at Sotheby's a let
ter written week after his marriage,
vindicating Jean entirely, fetched
$3.50. Later a curious Burns letter
was offered, dated June 20, 1873
Burns was married August 8, 1881,
In which he states: II have waited
on Mr.. Aud about my marriage affair
and stated that I was legally fined for
an irregular marriage by a justice Of
the peace. He says II bring an at
testation Of this by the two witnesses
there shall be no more litigation about
It." The '1egal' marriage which fol-
lowed August was apparently the So
luton Of the trouble. Doubts raised

SOLDIERS LOT NOT so BAD
American Fighters at the Front Not
In the Trenches Continuously
Plenty Of Amusement.

The trouble with the American pub
lie is that they have heard and read
so much Of the great war and Its hor-
rors that they think their boys are go
ing to be continually In the midst Of
bloOdshed and constantly in discom-
fort, and they concentrate on the ter
rible side Of 1t and ask, "How long
will 1t be before he Is killed." They
don't see that that is not all there is
to It," declares war correspondent.
It is natural enough Of course. A
man writes a book about the war,
takes one incident, and another, and
another, makes chapters Of them, with
the result that the man and woman
who read his book read a succession
of horrors, and they think 1t is all like
that. They don't realize, or they for
get, the weeks between these 'her-
rors'' and discomforts.
A man is in the front trench under
fire, say, two days, and sent back four,
or perhaps four days and sent back
eight. Usually a brigade is In the
AAC 5cCIOI % udyS. 4u0u IL Is sent
back to the rest billets for an equal
time. Here the men are In practical
~ no danger-perhaps an occasional
shell. They are together in jolly COM
radeship, having lots of amusements-
football, baseball-plenty to do. They
are well fed, well equipped, well
! amused.
OF course, the grouchy soldier is go
ing to have grouchy time, but the
life of the American soldier on the
western front is going to be Just about
what he makes 1t. If he goes into 1t
in the right spirit he will find that it
isn't so bad as it Is cracked up to be.
And then he will be in a great state Of
indignation because the reports Of it
have made 1t seem so awful.
When he realizes that 1t isn't so
bad, he mustn't forget to sit down and
tell the folks at homel He knows it's
lot better than he thought 1t was go
ing to be. But they don't.

LIVE CHIEFLY ON TURTLES
Residents Of Small Islands OF Coast
Of ceyIon Find Plenty Of Food
Near at Hand.

A correspondent of Ceylon journal
gives some interesting information
about the turtles on the coast In the
neighborhood Of Jaffna, In the north Of
the island, which are said to be In
Vulnerable. They are of three species,
called sea, milk and pariah turtles, re-
spectively.
The ordinary, or sea turtle, Is gener-
ally large In size, and Is met with
everywhere at sea around Jaffna. Two
tiny islands, called Iranativu, are liter
ally swarming with the creatures.
The islands themselves are sterile
and always exposed to inundation; the
inhabitants are poor and ignorant of
agriculture. and i've chiefly on the tur-
ties. They use the shells Of the large
ones as seats.
In the town Of Jaffna the ordinary
turtle is always procurable, and Is a
favorite article Of food with the peo-
pie. The milk turtle Is small in size
and Is to be found only in wells and
banks. It Is not an article Of food ex-
cept with the poorer classes. The
pariah turtle has a high back, and a
shell which somewhat resembles that
Of the tortoise. 1t is found In marshes
and bitches. It Is not an article of
food, but Is highly valued by native
medical men, because its flesh and
blood are supposed to be a panacea for
ailments peculiar to children.

CATS WILL GUARD CHICKENS
While Watching for Rats, They Fright
on Away Hawks-Are Broken From
Killing Little Ones.

Did you know that cats are valu'
able asset to the poultrymanf You
might believe that they were anything
but Invaluable because of their innate
love for fresh meats. But sweeter than
baby chicks to the palate of the cat are
the smooth-coated, long-taIled crea-
lures of the rat family. And rats prey
upon chickens, asserts the Poultryman
During the course of a year there is
more loss in the poultry world from
the ravages Of rats than from cats OF
hawks, or even disease. A cat In the
chicken yard, If trained to properly
value the life of the chickens, will ter.
rorize and destroy the rats and Will
ward off the enemy hawks and SO prove
himself or herself Of great worth.
Cats have proved their worth as
chicken yard sentinels, and there have
been many and various methods en-
ployed by their owners to break them
from killing the chickens. One well.
known method Is that of tying a dead
chicken about cats neck and making
him tug around the heavy dead body
for from one to two days. In the mean
time the cat will supposedly grow to
have great dread and horror Of q
dead chicken.
