a preacher performs many duties
that are doubtless unpleasant But
there is ono duty In the performance
Of which he shauld find a keen in
forest and enjoyment. 1t Is In
preaching funerai--ovor the re-
mains Of n road hog" To the
mind of the average well behaved
motorist, II occurs that this salts
faction could be multiplied by, the
number Of such hogs over whom he
stands for the last time In this
world and whose mlserly sp.its he
condemns to n place whore they will
sizzlo evcrlastlnely.
When Dante wrote his Divine
Comedy there were not, NO far az
histoIy records. any road hogs. Had
there been such specimens in the
catalog OF alleged human beings OF
his day he would doubtless have
included them In his story and con-
signed their spirits to place far
more Rrucsomc than the lake OF
pitch or inflicted them with worse
physical defects than placing their
heads backwards upon their
shouldere
Running n close second TO the
road hog is the bright light fiond--
the fellow that DOESN'T possess
enough intelligence to know what
DINNERS on his car are for. Fre-
qucntly the road hog and the bright
light ficnd are one and the same

brains TO be one as II does TO be

Automobiles according to those
who are In position TO know. are
as safo as n team of horses as long
as they are handled intelligently and
by persons who know enough to
hunt protection in the midst Of n
midsummer downpour--persons who
believe they are not tho only ones
using the highway and who have
observed that the world is at least
partly filled with other human be-
ingB that are entitled to some con-

See Colony as Great Asset.

OF late years France has begun to
evince an interest in the Kerguelen
islands, discovered by the French navi-
gator, Kerguelen Tremarec, in 1772.
According to Henry Boissiere, who,
with his brother, has devoted himself
to the development Of these islands,
they will soon become a prosperous
colony. They contain no trees, but an
immense quantity of fodder plant,
species Of cabbage, which is eagerly
eaten by horses, sheep, pigs and rab-
bits. Rabbits, rats and mice are the
only indigenous animals. There is al
so a single bird, the sheathbill, which
lives in company with the sea birds.
The sea elephants, which had been
practically exterminated by 1910, are
now again very numerous. The waters
round the islands also abound In
whales, and it is upon the whale and
sea elephant fishery that the hopes
of developing useful colony rest.
