The past week has been French

country. The Abilene chapter an
nounced that 1t would receive all
contributions at the room on Third
street, the use of which was kindly
donated by Mrs, southworth. The
response from town and county was
even greater than the very liberal
one OF last spring, and so many warm
and comfortable garments we're re-
ceived that 16 large packing boxes
are now ready for shipment, while
the Enterprise branch will ship five
boxes and Solomon one box. Much
credit ia due Mr.. Ackers, chairman

Bridget Had little Trouble in Explain
ing Why She Had Used Poker
on Her Hubby.

Bridget was before the magistrate
upon the charge of beating her hus-
band, who stood near the desk with
his head bound up in mass of band
ages and surrounded by an odorous
cloud of iodine, indicating that he had
undergone extensive treatment at the
hospital. The magistrate called the
wife to the bar Of justice.
"Now. madam" he said, "can you
explain to me why you struck your
husband over the. head with the
poker?"
Bridget laid her hand on the bar
and leaning far over so she could inn
press her answer upon the attentive
officer of the law, replied
"Shure, / hit him with the poker
your honor, because at that moment
l couldn't lay my hands on the broom
stick that / most generally uses"

GROUND FROZEN AGES AGO
Scientific Explanations Of Fact Which
Has Puzzled Miners Who Rave
Worked In Alaska.

Miners and biologists familiar with
conditions in Alaska are aware that
In many places the ground In that
country Is permanently frozen, ex-
cept on the surface, to depth OF
200 and even 300 feet. While this has
been popularity attributed to long
continued low temperature in winter,
the interesting theory has recently
been advanced by scientist that the
condition is due to far colder
weather that obtained In some pre-
vious age, and that protective vegeta-
ton on the surface has kept the frost
in the ground permanently since then.
1t has been found that when moss
has been cleared away for open-cut
mining or farming, the upper level
Of the grounds frost seemed gradually
to descend. If such Is the case, 1t may
show that present temperatures are
not low enough to freeze the grounc
to the great depths cited above.-Pop

Days Of Heavv Eatjno.

About 300 years ago law was en-
acted In central Europe forbidding
common folk to SIT al table more than
five hours each day for dinner. Those
were good old days so far as gusta-
torial enjoyment is concerned and we
who have grown accustomed to the
light diet of modern civilization read
with astonishment the menus of the
meals that our ancestors successfully
ate three centuries ago. You remem-
Der that Anne Boleyn, the most beau
tiful of Henry Wits many wives,
drank ale and ate roast meats for
breakfast and SO no doubt did all the
other beauties of history who lived be-
fore breakfast foods, chocolate, tea

WHEN THEY TOOK THE

Sergeant George w. Mayes of the
Remount "Deppo," Camp Lewis, who
lived at Lacey before he Joined the
army and has many friends in the
county, figured in little episode late
ly which Trench and Camp recounted
it this fashion:
Sergt. Planchon of the Remount
Dep-O, who is one of the many me-
chanical nOn-cOms. was one of an en-
thusiastic party of SOLDIERS who
journeyed to the banks of the Nys-
qually last Sunday in the anticipation
of Turing their native haunts.
Sergt. Planchon is the most studi-
Gus soldier, an ardent devotee of Sir
Isaac Walton and at the prospect of
fishing trip his mechanical ability
asserted itself and he Immediately set
to work constructing weapons (nOt
used in the army that would enable
him to snare more fish than the river
had a capacity for carrying. After a
week of hard work he succeeded in
turning out the following articles of
non-ordnance property:
One hook, signal service.
One hook, dunge.
One system, light.
The latter article was suggested by
Sergt. Battenfield and eventually put
into operation. Sergt. Planchon hav-
ing formerly been a member of the
signal battalion, figured that this
would be the most effective method
Of fishing for salmon.
The party arrived on the banks OF
the "beautifur Nisqually at o'clock
and Immediately made camp, figuring
on getting a good rest in anticipation
of beginning activities the following
morn with lots of pep" However
Planchon, full of his new scheme
could not wait that long and urged
the rest of the party to start this sig.
nal system right away. The remain.
der of the party agreeing, they set
forth for the riven laden with their
equipment
than 40 inches and was, therefore. in
the lead of the party all of the way
When the bank was reached a few
suggestions were worked out and the
following proposition finally decided
upon:
Two lanterns were to be used, one
on the shore and the other about two
thirds of the way across the river,
and Sergt. Planchon was to stand in
the stream about midway, with his
hook and spear, while the rest of the
party went down stream and COM
menced to throw rocks in the stream
to startle the fish SO that they would
start up stream. They would see the
lanterns and pass between them, thus
enabling the mechanical sergeant to
cast his apparatus at them.
BY the time these arrangements
were completed it was dark, and the
party started down stream, leaving
the sergeant standing midway in the
river. They threw in a few rocks,
and when out of hearing distance beat
it back to camp.
Two hours had elapsed when Sergt.
Mayors went to the river for a pail
of water. To his surprise he saw
Sergt. Planchon standing midway in
the river somewhat shrouded in rain
and darkness, but with his spear
raised expectantly. A more perfect
statue was never seen before.
