Left the Squire Thinking.

A well-known Hampshire squire, not
ed for his shabby coats, was one day
leaning over a gate which commanded
good view Of his broad acres.
4 well-pleased smile was on his lips
when he was startled by the sound OF
a wheedlng voice near him.
"Gie us a hand, old chap, to help
my poor old donkey up the hill"
The squire turned, and, with the
smile deepening in his face, pushed the
little cart behind with SO hearty a
good will that the coster exclaimed
with admiration:
well I'm darned If you amt a
good old sport. I say" he went on IN
n whisper. Eve knocked over two OF
three of the squire'S rabbits, and Tn
darned if you shan't have one"
Whereupon, with a great appear
ance of secrecy, he pulled out fa'
young rabbit from under sack in the
cart, and trotted away, leaving the be
wldored squire with one of his owl
rabbits dangling from his hands.-Lon

BLONDES ARE FIDGETY

WashingtOn.-The blonde type

exceedingly biased estimates OF the

few acres of typewriters. Every avail
able loft, hospital, dance hall ana

place in which typists might type,

matter of employing help. Things had

'That the effective conduct of the

MANY HORSES ARE
USED BY ARMIES

American army of 100000 men will

dred thousands more to fill up the

cheney, to transport animals to ill

der, would be so ships month.
Fighting units can deal only with
we'll animals. AS soon as horse be-
comes sick, diseased, shell-shocked or
wounded it must be removed to the
rear and a sound, vigorous animal
sent forward to take it's place. Thou
sands of animals are in the hospitals
at one time. They must be cured as
quickly as possible to take the places
of the injured which are certain to
reach the hospital.

the treatment of wounded animals is
emphasized by DR.. w. O. Stillman,
president of the Red Star animal re-
lief, in bulletins upon the work Of the

mans had lost many batteries of field
pieces because Of lack Of animals to
draw them to safety during allied adj

by the British partly because they had
large numbers Of horses.
100000 Horses in Use.
Figures compiled by the society
show that there are 100000 in use
by all the armies in the war, and tina
the losses on the western front alone
