THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE
 WAS TOPIC OF ADDRESS

At the 415 meeting at the Y. M. c. A. Sunday, two reels of motion pictures were shown, one on The Spirit of Ser vice. showing the Red Cross at work among the suffering of the different countries, and teaching a strong lekson of ser;ice for others. The second reel was entitled Our Presidents, picturing
 all of the presidents from Washington to Wilson, and giving a brief sketch of
 each one. Between the reels q brief
 address was given by Secretary Edwin
 Hill. who said in part: If there is one
 than any other in the life of Jesus it is
 the characteristic that bears out so
 beautifully, those words of his, q came
 not to be mnistered unto, but to min
 ister' He literally went about doing
 good" He wore himself out in service for others That Godly woman, of Bi- ble story, Dorcas had that same spirit of service, and was highly commended. The Red Cross nurses were and are beautiful in service.
 There are many men out of work and discouraged today in our country, and while many of them need bread, they need and crave for human sympathy in kindly word as well as deed. Jesus said, He who would be greatest among you let him be your servant" You can make your life count for much if you will serve humanity in the name gof Christ. Christian is known. not only by his true and pure life, but by his service as well

MOCCAsINs, TRUE AND FALSE,
 PLACED ON EXHIBITION

Specimens of the true water mocca- sin or cotton mouth" snake (ancisro- don piscivorus) of the south and our own common water snake often called ''moccasin," are on view for few days in the show window of Representative c. V. Pendeton's broadway store.
 These reptiles are from the study col lection Of Mr. Van Buren, the Stonington naturalist, who recently exhibited a col lection of useful local snakes in the same window.
 Nearly everyone who has spent any time along the streams and ponds of this vicinity is familiar with the appear ance of the water snakes CT. Fac. Sipe- don), but few are aware of their per fectly harmless nature. They are usual ly considered poisonous, often being mis- taken for the southern moccasin which
 is a dangerous serpent.
 While quite vicious when first cap tured, specimens of our common water snake very soon become gentle, taking
 kindly 10 captivity, feeding well, making very satisfactory subjects for study The bite of this species is entirely harmless, causing only slight bricks as if from q number of fine needles. Cold blooded creatures form the food of the water snake. Frogs and fishes are the chief items of his diet. Warm-blood- cd anlInalS are never eaten Dy ln4S Spe- cies
 The specimen shown is one of average size
 The true moccasin, which is being ex- hibited, is young specimen of about 24 inches in length. Adults of this spe- 1 cies attain large size often measuring
 five feet in length with a diameter of three inches at the thickest part of the body. This reptile is a native of the 1 southern states, North Carolina is the northern limit of it's range. It is a
 very common snake in the swampy dis tricts of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Being well provided with ] fangs and venom sacks this serpent is a i highly dangerous one, being more dread i ed in it's native home than the rattle snake which usually gives warning be- | fore striking.
 1 The moccasin is more nearly omnivor- i ous in it's feeding habits than any of | the American snakes. It takes both warm
 and cold blooded animals. Rats. young
 rabbits, frogs and fishes are the moo
 casins' favorite food.
 These reptiles are placed on view for educational purposes only, being q part ! of the campaign of the Reptile Study So- ciety of America to publish the true ! facts concerning the nature and habits
 of these common but little known crea- tures

REAL TREAT FOR IMMIGRANTS
Ice Cream Something New to ArriVas
at Ellis Island, but They
Finally Liked 1t.

Immigrant struggles with American
food on Ellis Island reached a cu.-,,.
when Commissioner Wallis introduced
plates of ice cream to the 100 diners.
The idea behind the ice cream was tn
give the Immigrants a real treat on
their reaching the land Of promise
What happened was a marvel to wit
ness. The first persons served were
Bal5in native and native OF
East India. The East Indian took a
lick and liked it. He looked around
and saw that tie Balkan opposite him
had a bigger piece. Greedily he
grabbed for it. Then the fight began
Both got well smeared in the face with
the food
The other diners touched the ice
cream, and finding it cold. thought
hey knew the trick. The stunt was
10 smear the cold substance on your
neighbours face. This happened sew
eral times. Then someone tasted the
ice cream and with whoop an.
nounced it was mama too precious to
be wasted on countenances. The heaf
steward said the same thing in the
eight languages he speaks The face
smearing ceased abruptly
But the final experiment was yet
to be made. The real genius of the
meal took up his knife and piece az
bread and spread the new butter ten
derby over it. He started the fashion
with bang, and all the rest enjoyed
their ice cream that way.-New YorA

Apology Needs an AnoInnv-

"Gentlemen'-it came from the lips
OF an attorney pleading a case recent
ly before the Supreme court of the
state of Idaho In front of him sat
the judges clothed with their judicial
dignity, listening intently to the case.
The attorney had erred. Judges
should be addressed as "Your honors."
"Gentlemen"-repeated the lawyer.
and the tiniest hint of a smile fitted
across the features of the men in front
of him.
Suddenly he stopped, realizing his
blunder.
Il apologize for calling you gentle
men," he blurted out.
Laughter in a courtroom is not
deemed exactly proper, but joke is
joke and Chief Justice Rice replied
simply, II hope you made no mistake"

Mr.. JOHNSON FINDS WALLET
Indianapolis Attorney Wakes UP When
he Hears Gieeful GiggIes From
Weeds on Roadside.

Emsley W. Johnson, attorney, was
taking 4 spin in his car on a country
road southeast of indianapolis the
other evening when, approaching a
little town. he saw a large. plump,
leather purse lying between the
wheel tracks. Mr. Johnson thrilled
with the ancient pleasure of discov-
cry. He stopped the car and climbed
ont, wondering silently who had
dropped the wallet. and how many
green or yellow crinl1y ones were in
it. He looked around as he alighted
and saw that the roadway was walled
on either side with pigmy forest of
irohweeds. ragweeds. horseweeds and
iimpson, forming a jungle that crowded
in as if to close the highway.
Walking back to the spot where the
purse had been. the attorney rubbed
his eyes. No purse was there: instead,
there was 4 wide welt in the dust as
If some object had been dragged
diagonally across the right-of-way. The
same moment a broadside of gleeful
gicgles burst from the weed jungle,
left and right. Mr. johnson did not
pause. He did not even speak. He
smiled slightly as he clambered into
his automobile. For Mr. Johnson him
self was once boy.-Indianapolis
