MEETING POET TH0s. MOORE
Relates First Opportunity to Gain
His Acquaintance.

The poet, Thomas Moore, was a
most lOvable character, and so kind,
declares Mrs. e. M. Moore in her
"Reminiscences" that he was never
known to speak harshly about anyone.
She tells the story of their first meet
ing, at the time when her father~was
painting the poets portrait and when
she was very small girl.
Mr. Moore lived some distance from
FitZrOy square, says the author, and
it was doubtful whether he could walk
as far as our house. That was very
disappointing to me, for my parents
frequent allusion to the poet had in
creased my anxiety. to see him. But
at last the long-desired opportunity
came. One day, when was playing
in the square, suddenly saw the
queerest of little men in the queerest
of rough beaver hats on a very big
head. Instinct told me that this must
be Thomas Moore coming to pay the
lOng-desired visit, and rushed indoors
and informed my parents.
OF course 1 was ridiculed. Since
had never seen the poet, how did I
know it was he? Besides, he was
much too decrepit to walk so far. 1t
was absurd, preposterous! Then the
front doorbell rang. Moore was an
nounced, and it was my turn to laugh.
1 can see him now as he appeared
to me then,, stout little man dressed
in tail coat, with high collar. He
had a fascinatingly clever and shrewd-
! ly kin face, the face that cheers mems
| lives and frightens no one.
Before he was in the house many
minutes he had me seated on his knee.
"What is my name?" he inquired.
'Tell me, my dear, do you know who
I ann"
"You are Tommy~Moore," I said
with a laugh; little Tommy Moore"
and then catching the look of horror
on my mothers face, grew suddenly
grave, and said with great decorum,
"Mr. Moore"
The sudden change in my manner
displeased the poet. and he said qui-
city: "Try again, grille; try again :"
Upon which I cried out with great
glee:
'Little Tommy Moore! Little Tom
my Moorep'
Moore was delighted, and the friend
ship that had come within an ace of
dissolution was forthwith permanently
renewed.

The dictionary says bunch, a word
of TeutOnic origin, means to push
suddenly, to jog or shove, as with the
elbow. Hence, bunch is sudden
knowledge that pushes one into q deci-
sion or an action, in short, a fore
warning. 1t is intuition, but of a spe-
cial kind; one may have intuitive
knowledge that could not be called
q bunch because it does not move to
sudden and decisive action Conf
dence in intuition needs no justifica-

term is permissible, should not be con-

CARBURETORS TO BE DISCUSSED.
Auto Class Resumes Work Here On
Tuesday Evening.

About twelve different types of car
buretors will be explained at the auto
class Tuesday evening of this week.
In this way it is expected that each
member of the class will become IA
miliar enough with the principles OF
carburetion and of carburetor con-
struction to be able to adjust his own
to give maximum economy. 1t is found
that few automobile people know the
most economical setting, consequent
ly they do not obtain the mileage
that they should from the fuel they
use.
The weekly meetings have not been
held since October because of the
influenza, so it is still possible for
those interested to enroll. However,
this is the last opportunity, and it is
urged that everyone so interested
should attend the meeting at the high
school at 7:30 Tuesday evening, No
vember IL. Two very interesting
meetings have been held but arrange
ments can be made so that all can
cover the complete course.

Sharing Snakes,

For sheer, downright danger the
work OF snake catching in the Austria
liam bush compares very faverably with
anything one might imagine. 1t is
also an exceedingly profitable method
Of earning livelihood-that is, if you
survive.
The snakes are collected for the
sake of their venom, substance that,
like radium, is valued by the grain, a
pound of it being worth about $500. 1t
is in active demand by chemists and
is obtained, as far as Australia is con-
cerned, from only three species of
snakes-the death adder, the brown
adder and the tiger snake.
The reptiles must be caught unin-
jured, and it goes without saying that
the business demands considerable
skill and agility on the part of those
following it.
Tiger snakes are the best, for they
carry most venom; and they are still
numerous in the more remote parts of
the Scitlom-viSited interior.
