Chorus Girl Worked as Housemaid.
A Partisan housekeeper who had
long been without servant succeeded
the other day in engaging one who
seemed very promising indeed. She
entered upon her duties in the morn
ing, and worked to her mistress COM
plete satisfaction. An early dinner
was cooked and served excellently, but
at 80 the new maid appeared in the
drawing room with her hat on, and
explained that she had to go out, as
she was in the chorus at a music hall
and was sure to be fined if she arrived
late. Apparently she was quite pre-
pared to continue her two jobs with
out regarding them as incongruous.
Owing to lack Of modernity in the

MEANT 70 CALL THEM QUICK
Aunt Dinah Had No Idea OF Allowing
TOR Misunderstanding When
She Rang the Bell.

Aunt 'Dinah, plantation born and
reared, went to nearby town to .'hire
out" She was very promptly hired
oy a young housewife, who, seeing her
lack OF familiarity with modern house
holds, started to train her.
She showed Aunt Dinah her small
silyer-seryice bell-there were no elec-
tric bells IN the, old-fashioned house
and told her that when it was rung
she must come into the dining room.
Aunt Dinah said she understood. A
few days later the mistress was seated
on the broad veranda with a friend
when she heard a tremendous clangor
from the direction Of the kitchen. It
came nearer swiftly and soon identi-
hed itself as the sound of a large bell.
Puzzled, the housewife entered the
hall and there stood Aunt Dinah,
swinging a large dinner bell vigorous
". "Why. what on earth is the mat
ter, Aunt DinahT she gasped. "Why
are you ringing that belly"
"Well. Miss Mary. I thought dat was
the way folks called each other in dis
here house. Didn't you show me yo'
bell the other day? 1 found dis one
IN de cupboard and I wanted you right
quick In de kitchen, so I rung hit"

SHEEP KILLED THEIR ENEMY
Ordinarily Tlmid Animals Worked In
Concert to Stamp Life Out Of
Bio RattIesnake.

One summer morning q farmer in
Virginia started out to salt q small
flock Of sheep that he lad recently
put into hilly, overgrown field some
distance from his home. AT the pasture
he called for some time, bat seeing
or hearing nothing Of the sheep he
walked down toward the middle Of the
enclosure and mounted 8. tall stump
at the edge Of the brier patch. From
this point OF vantage he could see the
flock on piece Of level ground scarce
ly 30 yards below him.
The sheep were crowded into,a sway.
Ing excited circle some 20 feet In d.
ametef.
Presently, while the sheep were
standing still, q big wegher made "a
spring, landed with his feet in the very
center of the ring and bounced away
like rubber ball. In fash another
followed his lead, and another, until
all had leaped on the same spot. Then
away they swept down the hill.
Stepping down from his perch, the
farmer made his way to the scene of
this strange performance. BY the side
OF the trampled brier cIump lay the
mangled remains Of q, big rattlesnake.

would never show himself anywhere
with barred arms. It was not until his
death in 1914 that the mystery was ex-
planned. On his right arm were tattooed
neither a dragon, an eagle nor an in

BarbIes. Hooks for Anglers

A very commendable mosement is
under way among members of the
Megantic club, and probably other
sporting clubs, for the use of, the barb
less hook. The idea rs that true
spOrtsmanship consists In giving the
members Of the 'finny tribe" a fair
chance for life and escape, and that
to catch fish with a barbless hook
Is more creditable than to use the
old-fashiOned barb. When trout Or
salmon are caught with q barbed
hook. they are apt to be seriously In
jured, and even If thrown back INTO
the water do not recover, In many
cases; whereas, If the barbIess hook
is used, as now advocated, they are
II returned to the water, in almost all
instances revived and may be caught
over and over again. This is true
sportsmanship, and it Is to be hoped
that the barbless hook movement Will
succeed.-BostOn Post. rtalt

mounted on q rubber-ticed trailer that
can be pulled great distances by a mo-
tortruck which promises to be great
aid In anti-aircraft operations. 1t is
q S6Qinch light Of the "dishpan''
type, yet weighs but 700 pounds as
against the old light Of this size, which
weighed 5000 pounds.
4 The cost Of the new light also has
been reduced, being about a quarter
Of the cost Of the firyt light which
had a glass mirror that was not only
very heavy but also difficult to manu-
facture. The new light has mirror
OF thin metal with backing Of re-
enforced concrete. This construction
is said to promise excellent results.
