A Dog Story.

The coroner Of the little town Of Sui
Ivan, indiana, owned a collie dog that
was almost his only companion. They
were inseparable. One day, writes
a contributor, while the dog, as usual,
was waiting on the steps of the court
house for his master to come out, the
coroner was taken suddenly i'll ana
died.
But the dog continued to wait for his
master; no one could coax him away
from the place. AS he grew hungry
the neighbors gave him bones and meat
and kept dish of water for him.
Nineteen months have passed, and ne

and residents point him out to
strangers. He wags his tail and is
nice to everyone, but he refuses to
leave his place on the steps Of the

"Some day." he probably says to
himself, "my master will come swing
ing out of that door, and everything
will be all right"

A Lazy Story.


AT a recent dinner a number Of peo-
pie we're telling Of the LATEST persons

interesting specimens Of the genus

the final story, We think, takes the
prize. The story preceding it was as

one fellow was bill Smythe. He
was so lazy that when he started into
building he would get within the
revolving door and wait for somebody
to come along and revolve it"
THAT man was as busy as a bee COM

kansas" said another young man,
Hank was given up 10 be the lariest
/ man in the United States; He was so
lazy he wouldn't get out of the sun
when il was hot, or out of the rain
when il was wet. One day Hank was
sitting on the porch with his wife. AS
/ II happened, his back was TO the road.
A prominent farmer had just died, and
the funeral procession passed Hanks
house. The deceased was man OF
considerable influence, and the process
sion was long one. After it had pass

Shock.

by this term is meant that condition
OF extreme depression of all the Vita
FORCES which follows a wound or any
severe mental or physical blow. The
depression may be slight, marked BY
pal'or and a temporary feeling Of faint
ness or 1t may be so severe as to re-
suit IN death; between these two en-
remes are symptoms of every degree
OF severity. The shock may be of
snort duration or may last for hours or
for days.
Inc shock that follows bad wound
Is usually dual in nature, the two sets
OF symptoms being grouped under the
headings OF primary and secondary
shock. Urinary shock comes i'm
mediately after the injury and is
shown by sudden pallor and a feeling of
faintneSs; It is thought to be purely
nervous in character, caused BY tenn
porary paralysis of the netves that reg
ulate the size and the tension of the
blood vessels. Sometimes pallor and
ialntneSs are the only symptoms OBJ
served; then they indicate the mild
form of shock above mentioned.
Usually, however, if the wound is
severe, secondary shock supervcneS

minutes to Sevral hours. The symp

Why Birds Are Not Electrocuted.


Why birds can perch and remain un-
harmed on live trolley wires is a ques-
ton that doubtless has often occurred
to many people. In explanation the
New York Evening Post says: 1t is per-
fectly true that the trolley wire carries
an electric current strong enough to
kill not ony birds but human beings.
However, to do any harm the current
must pass TO the ground through the
body of the bird or person. The con.
nection OF the body with the ground
need not be direct, but it must exist in
some way.
A person could sit on the trolley
wire just as safely as the birds do, but
il he should stretch out his hand and
touch another wire, or an iron pipe,
running directly or indirectly to the
ground, the full force Of the current
would then pass through him. In
other words, the current would be
grounded by the connection made with
his body. In the case Of the birds.
there is nothing to afford ground
connection, and they are in conse-
quence unframed, the electric current
passing through the wire under them
as water would pass through main
on which a person might be sitting
without wetting him.

QUEEN MARY'S
BUSINESS ABILITY
Conyinces American Manufacturer OF
Rumania's Future and Gets Need
ed Locomotives and Cars.

Bucharest, May 24-Queen Mary o
Rumania displayed her business abilit1
and her faith in her country by put
ting through an important deal in 10
locomotives not long ago. The Rumanial
railways were in sad need of the new
engines, There were American, Frencl
and English agents here to sell locomo
tives, but for money only. None o
them had enough faith in Rumania t,
sell them for anything except for cold
| hard cash.
Then the president of an American
concern who bad been selling locomo
tives TO Poland came TO Rumania. Ar
interview was arranged between hin
and the queen, who presented such q
strong argument on the future of hen
country and its resources that the
hard headed business American agreed
to furnish locomotives and rolling stock
and to take in payment Rumania' Is
national bonds.
The queen believes in Rumania, and
she knows how to convince others, be
cause she has been over every foot OF
its ground. During the days that she
was princess, she Travelled by train and
by automobile and on horseback until
she has come to know all of the re-
sources of her country and great
many Of its people.
Here is what she said to the Assoei.
ated Press correspondent about her
country: "The queen of a small 'coun'
try! Those who are accustomed 10
see rulers of great land can little
understand what il means. 1t means
work and anxiety and hope, and a
great toling for small results But the
field is large and If the heart is will
ing, great is the work.
Queen Mary has a reputation as a
writer, and now that the war is over
she has resumed the literary work she
abandoned when the war began.
Whatever may be the value OF what
/ write, ] am happy to say that have
facility in writing" she explained. II
write in the morning before ! begin
my days work, but Interruptions do
not disturb me. If / have TO see some
one, 20 back to my desk and am able
to take up the unfinished sentence
where left it. Part of my writing is
in the nature of journal which
have kept throughout the war, but it
is of such an intimate nature that
much Of II cannot be published until
long after ! am dead"
The most admired work Of the queen,
aside from her fairy stories, is little
book, entitled my Country" wherein,
in casual. impressionistic manner,
the queen tells Of her travels through |
the country. describing the life of the
their desire TO own the soil, |
their willingness to work hard, the |
quaint costumes. the curious architec
ture Of the churches and houses, the
beautiful women OF the country, and
the charm Of the winding, dusty roads.
