Capturino GoriIlas.

1t Is said that no gorilla has ever
been captured alive after he Is full
grown. Gorillas fear nothing. Even
when mortally wounded they show an
agility, strength and ferocity which is
astonishing. A traveller stated that 1t
would take $50 men to hold down a
gorilla with any degree of safety. On
the other hand, all other apes are easy
to capture. The usual method is for
a trapper to seat himself where he is
certain to be observed by these crea-
lures and pretend to drink from bot
tie of crude spirits. When he is sure
that he has been observed, he leaves
the bottle and goes away. The mo-
ment his back is turned the monkeys
rush to appease their curiosity con-
cerning the contents of the bottle.
They like the taste of the spirits and
quarrel among themselves for 1t till
the bottle has been emptied. They are
soon overcome by the intoXicant, and
the trapper returns and gathers them
up.

WOULD NOT ACCEPT HUNDRED
Forty Pounds Compensation for Dam.
ages on Railroad, All Old
CoVenanter Would Have.

One of the first railways laid in
city of Perth with Aberdeen. In Cham
bers Journal there is pleasant pic
ture of a stanch old covenanter at
Whinnyknowe who was subjected to a
loss that called for compensation from
the railway company. William Reid,
full consideration to the question of in
jury, and when the railway official
waited upon him he had decided the
exact amount Of the damage that he
had suffered.
The official told the farmer that the
company had agreed to allow him the
sum of one hundred pounds in recon-
pense.
"a hunder pounds ~ exclaimed the
old covenanter. Il wanna touch 1t.
1 have considered the matter and |
have made up my mind as to what l
should get. Wilma TAX hunder."
Il would strongly advise you to ac-
cept," replied the official. "You are
not likely to get more. l think the
directors have been generous"
'"Too much so! too much sol" was
the startling reply. II Wilma TAX the
hunder; I'll hae forty pounds and not
a penny more"
"Oh, is that the trouble?' was the
laughing response. "Well, here is the
order for one hundred pounds, which
you will receive when you call at the
office at Perth"
William Reid accepted the order,
and week later presented it at the
companys Office. A clerk asked him
to sign a receipt, and this the farmer
did for forty pounds.
"You are to receive one hundred
pounds, not forty" said the clerk,
counting out the money.
The old farmer was angry. Il told
your man." he cried, that / would
tax forty and not penny more; and
/ will not hae it. / want nae mans
siller that I've nae RIGHT to!"
And William Reid, after twice count
ing his forty pounds, pushed the re-
mainder back across the counter and
walked out of the off1ce.-Youth's

No Music In Piano Stool.

A Western settler went to the near
est township and purchased a music
stool, taking it home with him in his
trap. In a few days, however, be
brought it back and demanded the
money paid, as the stool was no good
at all. The shopkeeper examined 1t
and said it was in perfect order, and
that it should not be thrown on his
hands.
"Well," said the settler, II took it
home careful, and gave it turn,
and every one of the children gave it
a turn, and never tune could one and
all of us screw out of it. 1t is no
more music stool than the four
legged washing stool the missus puts
her tub on"

Orioin of HBankrupt,"

Few words have so remarkable a
history as bankrupt" The money
changers of Italy had benches or stalls
in the bourse or exchange in former
times. At these they conducted their
ordinary business. When any of them
solvent his bench was broken, and the
name of broken bench" or "banca
rotta," was given him. When the word
was first adopted into English it was
nearer the Italian than 1t now is, being
''bankerout" instead Of bankrupt"

WHEAT Showed
SPIRIT OF U. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations Will Be Able to Re
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

Overshadowlng all ether accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
is the history of wheat exports In the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusiyely to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
Is eased by the stopping of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table Of the peo-
pies of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
wheat supply which gave US only
20,000,000 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 141 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
l21000,000 bushels
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation Of flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white four-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 100000 bushels had been tax
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1OO,0OO,000
bushels by July /. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,000,O0O
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bllity for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending S5,000,000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first of the
year and the advent of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,96o305 bushels since July
/. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. II exports continue at the
present rate, by July l of next year
we will have sent more than 237 $780,
600 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread rations of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.
