GEORGE HAD ANOTHER GUESS
Old Gentleman Had Also Been Doing
Some Thinking About the High
Cost of Living.

A congressman who is investigating
the high cost of living said to Wash
ington correspondent:
"The h. c. |. is responsible for many
vagaries and queer complications.
"a young chap who had got en-
gagged to a girl was talking over the
future with her.
"'With prices what they are said
the girl, we must be content, George.
dear, with small fiat and one or, a.
the most, two servants
George coughed.
"'It's my idea he said, ito live with
your old man the first couple OF
years.
"'But, George
"'That's my idea,' he interrupted
Think of the money we can save. No
rent, no light, no grub bills, no coal
"'But-'
"T insist on this thing George in
terrupted again. I tell you, 7
'Then the door opened softly and
the girls father entered the room.
"'Children,' he said tenderly, I have
decided that when you get married
TIL come and live with you for the
rest Of my life.'"

Salmon Saved Queen.

The salmon with ring in its mouth,
that figures in the arms of the city Of
Glasgow, Scotland. which are also
those Of the ancient see, Is said to
record a miracle of st. Kentigern, the
founder of the see, and the fourth
bishop of Glasgow. A certain queen
gave a soldier, with whom she had
fallen In love- ring that had been
presented to her by her consort; but
the king discovered the intrigue, and,
having obtained the ring, threw It into
the Clyde, and then demanded 1t Of
his disloyaL lady.

HAVE, ANIMALS SIXTH SENSE7
Hard Otherwise to Explain How Wild
: Beasts Knew That the Great
War Was Over.

Frightened by the noises of battle
the wild beasts Of East, Central and
West Central Africa went scurrying
north and south, travelling sometimes
hundreds Of miles in their fright and
taking refuge in localities entirely new
to them.
But lust as the ruins of northern
France have drawn human beings back
to them-men and women who dwelt
there before the German occupation,
home has claimed the wild animals
and most Of them are now back In
their native haunts.
How did the wild beast know that
the wor was over?
The elephant, gorilla, giraffe, ante
lope. buffalo, rhinoceros, lion. leopard
and porcupine are certainly all per-
fectly aware of the fact1
Human beings have their various
avenues Of sending news, chief among
these the newspapers, the post ana
the telegraph.
Whatever the method Of communion
ton, the Wild animals certainly got
the news quickly.
Peace was no sooner accomplished
than the African natives began to seq
the homeward migration Of whole
companies Of wild beasts through their
territories, animals never familiar
in these particular communities ana
/ obviously passing through.
Four years previously they had
come crashing through the under
brush, bound in an opposite direction.
They were in great haste then and pos
sessed of fear; and pachyderms ana
carnivora travelled together, The age

Railroad Strike Troubling Dor
chester.

The railros d strike and the conse-
quent congestion of freight is causing
people in Cambridge and Dorchester
TO have their troubles. In town the
Gas Company is short of coal of good
quality for making gas, and can not
promise to furnish gas for lighting, or
for general purposes at certain hours
of the day and in the country the
farmers find themselves seriously han
dicapped i'll the matter of wheat
thraShing because they can not secure
soft coal. The modern engine is not
fitted for wood burning and the prox.
unity of the ordinary place of wheat
thrashlng to barns and stables makes
the use of wood as fuel entirel y I'M
advisable Some farmers are think
ing of substituting coke for the fuel
usually employed, and this will at
least have the merit of not being pro-
ductive of danger Should the same
condition prevail the country over
and wheat be lost by it as wheat was
lost because of delay in thrashing in
this county last year, the strikers will
lose more by the increased
price of flour than they can gain by
an advance in wages.

Cox and Roosevelt

Early Tuesday morning the Demo-
cratic National Convention at San
Francisco nominated Governor James
M. Cox, of Ohio, for President of the
United States, and late in the day
they named Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, Franklin d. Roosevelt, of
New York, for Vice-President.
The reason underlying the nomi-
nation of Governor Cox are easily I'M
derstood. He is a strong man with
long and successful experience in pub
lie affairs coming from a pivotal
state. In recent years the Democrat
ic candidate who has carried Ohio
has been elected. The Democratic
candidate who has failed to carry
Ohio, has been defeated. Cox has
demonstrated his ability to carry
Ohio and therefore he stands a good
chance of being elected. The nomi-
nee for Vice-President has not been
so much in the public eye, but he
halls from New York, is close
friend of Mr.. McAdoo, did good ser
vice to his country during the World
war and is thoroughly desirable
running mate for Cox.
The nomination of Governor Cox
came after a long and desperate strug
gle in the course of which 1t looked
several times as if the Convention
would turn to Davis or some other
dark horse, after the manner of the
Republicans at Chicago, but this 1t
failed to do. At no time after the
voting began had Cox failed to be
in the running and after the release
of the Palmer delegates the tide
swung rapidly to him.
The Dem ocratic nominee was born
on a farm near Jacksonburg, Ohio.
