TAKING HIM DOWN A PEG
Visitors Comment on the Intelligence
Of His Host veroed on the
Caustic.

Two old men, one a bachelor and
the other widower Of many years
standing, have lived on small adjoin-
ing farms in the southern part Of
Washington county for many years
Not long ago one of them inherited a
small amount of money and he imme-
diately put 1t to use by building a
row shack on his land.
When the house was completed he
asked his old friend and neighbor to
come over to spend the night. After
supper they sat by the fire and smoked
and talked, and finally, when CONVEX
sation began to lag, the visitor turned
to his host and said:
"You say this home is all done and
paid for?"
EYES," was the short reply.
"And you planned it all yourself
and hired the carpenters and every
thingy the guest insisted.
"Why, yes, Of course, did. What's
the matter with you"
"Oh, nuthin' much" yawned the WIS.,
itor. "Only If was smart enough
to buy house and build 1t and then'd
asst folks to come to see it, I'll be
dum'd II wouldn't know when 1t was
time, to say something about going to
bed."-Indianapolis News. w.

the male Canadian warbler does, while
on the female Of this attractive bird
there is only the slightest indication
Of a necklace, says the American For
estry association, Washington, which
is conducting the nationwide bird
house building contest among school
children. The warbler's necklace of
black spots shows up very strikingly
on his olive green and yellowish throat
and breast. On the back the bird Is
of a slate gray color with the tail more
of an olive brown tone. This is very
lively bird. 1t is very seldom still
for more than few seconds before It
dashes out at some tempting bit to
eat. It is partial to the wooded
banks of streams. 1t usually keeps
in underbrush near the ground.

vnIted States Fish Crop.
The total value of the American
FISH crop, including that Of Alaska and
the irsular possessions, Is estimated
now to be $15O,OOO,OOO allowing for
the advances in value Of the last year.
The capital invested in the fisher
les Of the United States, including ves-
sells and the land establishments for
handling the fish, is estimated at about
$75,000,000, and the number Of per-
sons employed is 100000 The value
Of the sea products turned out by the
cAnneries is $5O,0O0OOO.
Food experts did well during the
war times to urge Americans to eat
more fish, not only because this helped
conserve the supplies of beef and pork
products but also because eating some
good fish frequently means a change
in the average mans diet which Is to
his benefit. The same argument holds
true in regard to vegetables and green
things, Of which many people in cit-
les do not eat enough for their own
good.

THE CAT IN THE WAR
From The London Dispatch

From The London Dispatch
There is one thing cat hates
more than she hates dogs, and that
is-gas. One whit of poison gas,
scented from the other side Of No
Mans Land before mere man has got
an inkling Of what is coming, and
up goes her back and her fur stands
on end, and she begins to whine her
displeasure.
Who 1t was that first discovered
this aversion remains mystery, but
rumor has it that It was someone in
the British war office. So they ex-
tended the military service acts to
cats.
The. stray cats of Britain-and
there are many Of them, as is shown
by the fact that the Royal 8. P. G. A..
painlessly destroy over 10000 every
year-received their first calling-up
notice couple Of years ago. It ap-
peared in the form of an advertise
ment: ts
Common cats wanted--an num-
ber," which was published in the
newspapers.
