the noon bell rang he kept the class
nvs or ten minutes over the hour
some OF the students decided to give
him gentle hint, and accordingly
bought an alarm clock. which they set
to 60 on precisely at noon, and the
next time they came In to one of his
lectures placed 1t on the desk, trust
ing that as he was somewhat absent
minded he would not notice It. When

the professor waited until the alarm
was over; then. turning to the class.

this little gift; had quite forgotten
1t was my birthday. An alarm clock
Is something my wife has been want
Ing for some time. 1t IL a very kindly

The most remarkable tree In the
world. perhaps, is the banyan, Of In
dia. A tree Of this species. on an Is
land In the Nerbudda river, Is believed
to be the same one that is mentioned
BY Alexander the Great. The branches
send down numerous "aerial" roots
that grow down to the soil and form
props or ADDITIONAL trunks. until
single tree often covers so large an
area that II will shelter thousands Of
men. At the time Of Alexander the
Greats visit. one tree covered so ex-
tensive an area that 1t sheltered ten
thousand men. Under the protecting
shade Of these trees the Indian mer-
chants stiIl conduct their markets. The
merchants are known as "banlans,"
because they abstainsd from meat for
many centuries, but modern customs
have driven out many Of the Hindu's
traditions.-People's Home Journal.

System HrInes Results.

It's not necessary to become re-
cluse to gain fitness. The very fact
that You grow makes present tasks
easy. That gives additional time that
can be applied In still greater attain
ments. Self-mastery begets self-confl-
dence that reacts again in greater
self-mastery. And that leads to the
mastery Of other things. Each new
attainment helps to make work easier.
The wise man knows he must have
recreation and diversion so he does
not become grind. He just system
atizes his time and marshals his re-
sources In such a way as to startle
the careless workers. The result is
continued growth In efficiency. Every
day brings added satisfaction. for
there is Joy In achievemsnt.-E-

DISCOVER ACTS CRUELTY WHEN
 RECAPTURE MEN

WARSAW, Feb. 7.-Among the Polish prisoners held by the Ukrain- ians and recently recaptured by the Poles there were sixty male nurses who showed evidence that they had been cruelty tortured by their cap tors. The men had been impaled upon long. pointed sticks by the Uk- rainians and left to suffer from thirst and hunger.
 No attendance was given the wounds made by the impaling and as a result 1t is feared that several of the men will die. These acts of cruelty were uncalled for and were committed only thru spite.
 The Polish and Ukrainian troops continue their fierce fighting in tn region of Lemberg. Altho strongly opposed, the Poles appear to be gain ing the upper hand. They are grad ually forcing the Ukrainians back Ind are swiftly following up al. gains. The recent discovery served to rouse the Poles to great ang- and they have renewed their battles with fiendiSh intensity.
