NANCY WAS ARMED
Demure Little Goat There With
the Hatpin.
As Result Very Surprised and Dis
consulate Dog "Stood Not Upon
the Order of His Going" but
Fled Hastily.

My Nancy Is as trim and charming
a little goat as you ever wish to see.
She wears fawn-colored coat with
cream trimmings, has confiding ways,
and yet gentle dignity, withal, which
should protect her. Since she dedicat-
ed herself to tending the yearling colts
in the barnyard she has seen little Of
the outside world. Indeed she is one
of the least sophisticated Of her kind.
had right to be alarmed when
q dissolute vagabond of a dog leaped
over the fence and began marrying the
colts; much more was troubled when
Nancy arose from a siesta in the hay
loft and lightly dropped from the hay
door to the ground. For that degen-
crate collie fastened upon her lust
full eye; the witch of his nostril BODIED
Ill from the start. And yet he should
have misdoubted creature of such
gymnastic ability, however much she
smelled like simple sheep.
He boldly approached her; she tried
to discourage his attentions and set a
good example to the colts by main
tanning cold and unseeing gaze. He
came the closer. Now she stepped
away, stiffiy, very much on her dignity.
He followed up. She stood still, OBJ
trusively turning her back to his atten-
lions. This disconnected him; he had
planned to catch her by the throat.
Cautiously he edged over to the side {;
she let him come. He gathered him
self to leap upon her. Then as be
arose, she flashed about; he landed
with his diaphragm poised on her slen-
der horns.
A fatal injury was not within her
power, but 1t was not needed. He
sprawled to earth with an anguished
yelp, lit running, and cleared the gate
at his second leap. That was no gay
deceiver, no masterful betrayer, self
confident of his allure, that feeting
form which spurted gravel behind each
eager stride.
Nancy watched it go. There seemed
almost an expression Of regret in her
amber eyes; she twiddled an impatient
tail, then, primmer than ever, went to
finish her nap. But a diversion had
been welcome in the virtuous monotony
of her days-and the good old hatpin
trick worked again. Brock in De.

Penalties for Profiteering
Fall on Foodstuff Dealers.

Notwithstanding Hoover's handicap
in having to work with a volunteer
and unframed detective force, more
than 800 penalties for profiteering
have been imposed on licensed dealers
in foodstuffs during the last ten
months. These are the ''big fellows"
About $50 companies and individuals
have been ordered to quit business for
a limited period and more than 5oV

have temporarily abstained from doing
business rather than risk more drastic
penalties.

French Women TenderIy Care
For Graves of American Boys.

Aged French women in the villages
in the rear Of the American sector in
Picardy have asked and received per-
mission to take care of one or more
graves of American soldiers. The af-
lection with which the villagers regard
the Americans is most pathetic. The
difficulty of language is swept aside
and the villagers share the American
sorrows and joys. In the villages
where American troops are billeted
and which are in constant danger from
enemy shells, the Americans share
their gas masks with the peasants and
teach them low to use them

Expert on Saving.

Millions of persons, according 10
Freeman Phtney, Jr., in the Financial
World, decide to save, do it haphazard
for time, then they drop back into
careless money habits. They fail De
cause they follow the wrong system.
The wrong way, Mr.. Putney points
out, is to pay current expenses hrst
and then save what remains. Inc
right way is to make up your mlnu
how much you can save weekly, then
lay that amount aside first.

Roman Builders, Good Work.

Several hundred miles OF old Roman
walls, at least seventeen hundred
years old, are still standing in England
today. The best specimen OF this work
of the ancient Romans in England is
the wall which crosses Northumber-
land, from near Newcastle to near
Carlisle. In many places, the facing
of this wall is still intact, showing
what marvellous builders these Ro-
mans were.
