1t goes without saying that Joseph

self candidate for mayor of Boston,
will get a very considerable support
even though he has been called uDon
to face proceedings started with view
to ousting him from the position of
district attorney Of Suffolk county be-
cause of alleged irregularities i. adj

mayor will do well to reckon on hav-
ing very hard task to down MN in

A Wells River man was so info.
tunate as to drive his automobile over
bank so that he could not get the
vehicle back on the road. He had to
leave the machine over night. When
he went back TO the machine next day,
various articles had been stolen from
the car. His next visit to the ear was
two days later, and he found that
someone had made off with the tires,
the clock OFF the dash, the tools and
everything of value that could be
moved. It's the same old story; a
standing army is necessary to protect
an automobile which happens to be
disabled and has to be left over night
on nearly any public thoroughfare. The
situation makes poor commentary on
the calibre of some of our residents.

Small Birds Mob a Snake.

Noticing many small birds, chiefly
sparrows, white checked bulbuls and
wagtails, lowering round the base Of
a date palm and every now and then
dartlng at II with much noise, / went
to investigate. / found coiled on the
roots of the palm a green snake about
three feet long, looking as though
dead. II was absolutely inert, and Its
tail had been almost completely
severed from the body about six inches
from the tip. On closer Inspection |
noticed II flicker In the snakes eye,
and on touching II with a piece OF
scrap iron which | plckeo up near by,
intending to kin II, It leaped forward
like n flash OF lightning, and then,
after a pause. dlyed Into a stream

COMPANION KNEW "0LD Bird
Inquiry Brought instant Response
Considerably Embarrassing to
Youthful New Teacher.

/ was just out of college and had
gone for the first time to teach in a
high school,. l had not yet lost my
college girl propensity for seeking to
extract fun out of everything, whether
serious or comic. A formal meeting of
the faculty of the city was in progress,
with h prominent school men-super-
intendent, commissioners, and princi-
pals-seated on the platform. Among
them was a severe-looking old peda-
gogue with a long white, flowing beard.
Next to me sat a sedate woman
whom 1 rashly had taken to be a new
member of the faculty.
1 turned to her with what 1 sup
posed to be an infectious burst of con-
fdence and giggled: who's the old
bird with the whiskers?"
The woman turned her face directly
toward me, looked me up and down,
with an expression that CONCEALED the
blood within me, and said, CURLY:

FLATLY REFUSED TO "sLIDEv
Elderly Lady's Dignity Was Hurt by
Request Made to Her by Fell
low Passenger.

She was n of those fussy little old
women, all primped and with her hair
In a curl.
When she got aboard the street car
several men-yes, there are some who
still respect gray hairs on a street car
got up and offered a seat She &C.
cepted one gentlemanly prefer, but
didn't keep the seat long. When she
had finally found repose a woman
next to her said:
Would you mind sliding over lust
a bit, please? Then another lady can
have a seat"
Her gray-halred majesty rose to
lofty heights.
"Slide? Slider" she sputtered. 81
Will not slide. I will arise and take
my body elsewhere"
And. suiting her actions to her word.
she arose and took her body up to the
o of the car, where her dignity
would not be assaulted by a request to
slide.-Indianapolis News.

to visit her. She married rich and
is a widow with loads Of money and
step-grandchildren, but l don't think [
can ever face her. I'd have to laugh or
cry either would be bad FORM"
The impossible happens. That very
evening came a message that sem the
Loves, father n daughter, to the help
or Aunt Lucy. A dam washed out, a
deadly hood-death and ruin up and
down n long once-smiling valley made
imperative summons. Mr.. Love plead
ed to go alone, Patricia a adamant.
I'm your daughter she cried. You
owned part of the mills. Think I'll
shirk when your people-our people
need help so much !" So she had her
way, and for the next fortnight was
truly a m~inistering angel. Oddly,
enough. her best comrade and help was
Dorset. MY people have interests
here" was all the explanation he
gave. No brother could have been
kinder, more thoughtful, more ~unlover-
like to Patricia's great JOY. She spoke
truly when she said to him: II wish
we had been born brothers. I'm a mis-
fit In %petticoats, but might have made
a decent enough man."
At that he smiled queerly, saying
softly: "Fate-or God-knew best.
You are turning out to be the leaven
other women need. So don't fret.
Maybe after n while we shall find
crooked ways made straight and light
shining cross the dark"
Aunt Lucy had escaped unframed,
and bore up wonderfully under the
strain. Not so her household. The
two best beloved of her grandchildren
whom h had virtually adopted, had
been caught In the flood, and saved
alive by the skin of their teeth. They
were at a friends house which the
HOOD had spared, nobody allowed to
see them but nurses and doctors. Pa
tricia noted though that Dorset had al.
ways the latest news of them for poor
Aunt Lucy, also hat he now and then
fell into a sort of a daze that aged him
years. And presently she understood
the girl so dangerously hurt was the
heart of his heart-he had known her
long and long-they were to have been
married next year. So when he asked
her to visit his betrothed and bring
back the exact truth as to her hurts,
she went gladly. Her report was
simply: "She has seen herself, and
now ants to see you. "Quite suffi.
cient anybody will agree. Then by way
Of avenging Aunt Lucy, Patricia, the
outlaw, fell wildly in love with the
grandson. There was a double we'd
ding at which Aunt Lucy. her hail
snowy, smiled benediction like a Christ

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DIR. Kilmer's Swami
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity. strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
~teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

STRANGEST OF ALPINE LAKES
Triangular Sheet Of Water Whose
Base Is Barred by Enormous
Wall of Ice.

One of the most remarkable sights in
Switzerland is the Marjelen-See, on AL
pine lake, lying between the Great
Aletsch and Fletcher glaciers. Stu
ated 200 feet above the sea-level, at
the western flank of the Great Aletsch
glacier, by which 1t is fed, 1t is TRAN
gular. says an exchange. The base of
the triangle is barred by an ice wall
$50 yards In length and 100 odd feet In
depth, formed by the Aletsch glacier.
The natural outlet is to the west
through the Aletsch glacier, but when
the water exceeds a certain level IL
has at its cas- end, the apex of the tri-
angle, an additional outflow to the
which at a normal level separates it
from the drainage of the latter glacier.
The lake thus possesses the peculiar
feature of having two outlets In oppo-
site directions but to prevent the over
flow unduly e%ncroaching upon the ad-
Jacent pastures in the latter direction
a tunnel 700 yards long and two square
meters in section, is provided, by
which the surplus water is discharged
on the Fiescher glacier.
The most striking popularity Of the
Marjelen-See Is hat 1t empties itself
at irregular intervals and within the
space of a few hours through the wall
formed by the Great Aletsch glacier.
The MarJelen-See is said to have
emptied itself formerly every seven
years, recently every three years, but
total emptyings are less frequent than
partial. The rehlling of the lake grad
ually accomplishes itself during the
winter and spring. The bulk of the
recedlng water flows to the Massa tor
rent, and is liable to cause serious
flooding of the higher reaches of the
Rhone valley. In the days before tele-
phones and telegraphs the cowherd
who first nrr.Ned with the Intelligence
In the Hlio.e vulley-the distance be-
ing about nine miles-was rewarded
with a new pair Of shoes.
