Believe II or Notl

Friends of S. T. Lockbridge, former
state senator, and james /. Nelson,
both of Greencastle, are telling story
regarding the strange actions of hogs
on their farms last summer Mr.. Lock
bridge went to his farm west OF Green
castle and on arriving at field in
which were some fat hogs he saw
the animals jumping into the air. He
investigated and found them after big
yellow-striped grasshoppers.
The same story is told of Mr.. Nelson
except that his hogs were so wild over
the grasshoppers that he had TO re
move them to another field where the
provender was not so plentiful, in or
der to prevent the hogs from running
off the fat faster than he could put il
on by heavy feeding.
The grasshoppers were as large a!

10000 MILES ON A DESTROYER.
New York Man Says Nothing Else Gives

To travel 10000 miles in war time on

conveying $50 ships, was the war expert

pharmacists mate, who III that time was
so wallowed on the breast of the deep as
to voice the hope that he never sets foot

WHEN PEACE CAME
Oppressive Silence Followed the
Great Crash.
Hard at First to Realize That the
Carnage Of Four Dreadful Years
Had Ended-Huns Defeated
but Unrepentant.

With silence like that which fol-
lows the mighty crash of a great or
gan, the great war came suddenly to
diers at listening posts strain their
ears through long night watches; star
shells have ceased to burst and flame
over No Mans land; cannons have
cooled; machine guns utter no sound;
the exchange of all manner of deadly
missiles has stopped. At last peace.
which for four slow, dreadful years
has seemed afar off like a mirage, has
come. The thousand and one actlVl-
ties of battle, intense to the last ounce
OF possible human effort, are relaxed.
Ships now cross the ocean in safety;
smoke from thousands of ammunition
plants no longer darkens the sky;
tired workers return once more to
their homes; armies are demobiliZing;
reconstruction of devastated homes
and farms and factories is contem-
plated; the dreadful military debauch
has consumed itself; the world draws
great sigh of exhaustion and relief;
the conflict is ended.
In all history no message ever sped
so gladly nor so fast as the few words
flashed through the air, and under
oceans, and over land wires, until
| around the whole world and to its ut
termost accessible parts the news was
carried. What wonder that all civiliZa-
ton gave vent to a frenzy of JOY al
most barbaric, that men shouted and
| women wept; and little children wiz
messed an event which threescore
years and ten hence they will relate to
| other wide-eyed children. In our joy
| let US not forget those millions of ia
theirs whose voices refused to cheer.
and those mothers and wives and
sweethearts whose eyes were dry, be
| cause their hearts were bowed down
with q sorrow no victory can ever COM
| penSate.
The Huns ceased only when physi-
cally exhausted; when their ammuni-
ton was spent; when the war had
reached their own borders when they
no longer possessed the ability TO MUIR
der the defenseless, to gas the brave.
/ Their regret is that they failed, but
not one single word of penitence for
the harm they have done, the sorrow
they have caused Instead they think
only of their bellies and demand, not
} supplicate, the food they have so wan
tonly destroyed for years; they whine
lest the very cars they stole from
France and Belgium be returned to
their rightful owners. They have beer

years an unequal struggle, but for any

Since the little Philadelphia bark True

a coaster, having carried, as some one
has figured it, enough lumber, bricks and
lime from Bangor, Rockland, Calais and
other Maine ports to Boston to build a
good-sized city
There was an entertaining fiction Of
wide and persistent circulation to the

PLEA TO SPARE GAME BIRDS.
Sportsrnen Warned of New Federal Law
Protecting Migratory Fowl

Birds which have survived the fall hunt
ing season and have successfully withstood
the winter months should be allowed to
pass in peace to their breeding grounds
in the spring, say officials of the biological
survey, department of agriculture, in a
statement just issued urging hunters to
observe and enforce existing game laws.
One of the most important and necessary
steps IN the conservation of wild game is
the prohibition of spring shooting of wild
FOWL. Sportsmen should refrain from hunt
ing at this season not only from a sense
of fairness, but because such action is
absolutely Necessary to the continued ex-
istence of wild fowl The spring-fight
birds are the stock from which must be
derived the annual crop harvested in the
fall cunning season, as well as a surplus
to furnish the next years breeders
A great victory for game conservation
was won with the passage of the first
federal law for the protection of migra-
tory birds. Instead of separate statutes
for each state, often conflicting in pur-
pose and devised without special thought
of the perIstuation of the game supply,
| the country now has a law applicable
! in the same form over large areas and
/ has as one Of its main purposes the stop
ping Of the very destructive practice of
spring shooting. The benefits resulting
| from this law are unquestionable, tor
ever since it has been in effect, reports
have come from all parts of the country
hi a steady increase in the number of mi
gratory game birds.
The migratory bird law of 1913 has
been superseded by the migratory bird
! treaty act, putting into force. the treaty
with Great Britain for the protection OF
birds migrating between the United States
and Canada. Regulations promulgated UNI
der this law give more strict protection
to birds ON their northward flight than
they have ever previously enjoyed Prior
to the passage of these laws the game sup
ply had steadily decreased owing to the
increasing number of hunters and the
crowding out of the birds from then
breeding grounds which have been cleared
for agricultural and other purposes Tn,
remedy federal officials believe, is the
best possible observance and enforcmen
ri the existing game laws, an increase IL
the number of game refugees, and grea
extension of game farming lorl

Fine Pearl Necklaces.

Of 30 necklaces which have been
made from the magnificent collection
of pearls contributed to the Red Cross
from all parts of the British empire,
two are of considerable interest.
One of them is composed almost en-
tirely of the fine collection of pearls
sent from Egypt as result of the
Red Cross appeals, and the other is a
specially beautiful necklace of pearls
of the straw-colored tone which is SO
much sought after by buyers. The
necklaces are snot OF uniform size
they vary in length, in color and, OF
course, in value. But all of them are
of great beauty, for they consist of the
best pearls from many famous neck
laces, as well as from less well-knowr
ones, matched by the chief experts In
London.

VIENNA'S ART LOOT.
Valuable Canvasses Stolen From Italy
to Be Returned.

There was something really Napole-
onic about the way the Austrian in
vaders looted italian art. 1t was sew
eral years before Italy got back from
Paris part of what she had lost. But
the Austrian plumber has been already
surrendered and from Vienna one hun
dred and sixty-three fine canvasses will
go back to Italy. Most of these were
painted between 1850 and 1850, and, be-
longing TO the Venetian School, are the
pride of Italy.
In Venetian galleries there were
thirty eight specimens of Paolo Veron-
csc. OF these eight were taken. Tween
ty sacred canvasses of Bonifazio Yer

The modern banjo was introduced
into England from the United States,
to which country 1t was probably
taken by the African slaves, who
originally obtained the idea from In

instrument of the guitar species.
