Gorilla Fond Of Music,

A gorilla beating a drum astonished
Marseilles. The animal had been
taken to the French port from Africa
by a colonel. One day the gorilla was
seen walking down the boulevard hold
ing a negress by the hand. The woman
entered q toy shop and bought a trum-
pet and drum. Delighted, the gorilla
beat the drum and blew the trumpet
Justify. A hard blow broke the drum,
whereupon the gorilla looked worried,
scratched his head perplexedly and,
re-entering the shop, seized another
drum and a down the street, beating
It triumphaptly. The negress followed,
but the beast climbed to a balcony
and remained there half an hour,
beating a military march in perfect
rhythm.

What He Liked.

Mr.. T. had visited the D. family
long enough to find that they were
strong on culture but weak on CON-
forts, such as a sufficient supply of
hot water, food and even heat. One
cold night he shivered in the living
room while the members Of the family
held a discussion on their pet hobbies.
One said that she dearly loved great
paintings" another protested a fond
ness for "great works Of literature.
and the third spoke %eloquently on
."great works Of sculptors."
Finally it came the guests time to
converse. He shivered a minute and
then gave a feeble smile. Fright

cided fondness for a CRATE fire."

PuNcTUALITY IS ESSENTIAL
Dairyrnan Should Be Regular About
His Work With His TERRIFIED
Grain While Milking.

The dairyman should be punctual
and regular about his work, for not
only does the work itself depend on
It, but the amount Of milk the COW
will give as well. In feeding, the
grain should be fed first and while 1t
Is being Consumed milking should be
done. Hay should be fed after milk.

which carries immense quantities Of
mold and bacteria that will hasten
the spelling Of the milk II permitted

W0MAN'S LOVE DEMANDS ALL.
Can Never Be Satisfied With Anything
Less Than Absolute Dominion
Over Ono Man.

What every woman wants o than
anything else in the world Is absolute
dominion over one man. There is a
peculiarly vampish trend in feminine
love which takes the form of demand
ing entire possession Of the creature
upon whom the affections have been
fastened.
Every woman wants to feel that, no
matter what his occupation-be it the
most %engrossing business or merely a
game Of golf-she is ever the com
polling note at the back Of her mans
head. He must not forget her for a
single instant, and he must be regret
fully conscious that nothing is quite
satisfactory, lacking the saving grace
Of her presence. And she requires
continually to be assured Of this. She
believes that in boarding her perpet-
ual recollection he holds a talisman
rendering him immune from the attrac-
lions or Establishments of all other
women.
It is difficult for the feminine men,
tality to grasp the curious power Of
detachment Of the masculine. A wom-
an cannot comprehend, much less SYM
pathize with, that trait by which q
man can divest himself completely Of
any thought of her while absorbed in
something else.
A mans midland this particular
~ refers to the man Of many serious
interests-is like a number Of com-
partments, each sealed from the other
and docketed as to contents. While
he Is in one, he shuts out everything
pertaining to any other.
A woman has not this capability Of
detachment. Whether she is playing
bridge or apparently obsessed with
some knotty domestic detail, she is
always subconsciously aware Of the
one.
The retentive quality is the pre-
vailing characteristic Of woman. It is
at once her greatest strength and her
greatest weakness-she cannot bear
to let 60. If she sees the flame of a
love on the wane she tries f%rantically
to restore it to it's full force. A man
faced with the same contingency is
apt to be more resigned-or brutal
and makes haste to finish completely
the cooling affection.
A nan likes to do a thing, have
done with it, and consign all memory
to oblivion-to wipe the slate clean
and be ready for something new.-

Edition Of the London Daily Mail.

IN TIGHT CORNER
Jrapper Tells How It Feels to Be
Trapped.
Bear Hunter Experienced Uneomfort-
able Night in Snare He Had Pre-
pared for Ferocious Old Grizzly.

"Old Nose" was one Of the most fe-
rocious bears in the Rockies. He was
q notorious bad actor" according to
Mr.. A. L. Corson in the Wide World
Magazine, and foiled all attempts to
shoot or trap hin. Indeed, he seemed
to have a charmed life.
On one occasion a man named Han
cock tried to trap him. In placing
the bait inside the trap, Hancock &C.
cidentally touched the trigger, and the
legs came down and imprisoned him.
He tried to pry the heavy timbers
apart, but found that he could not
shift them an inch. From one side Of
the trap to the other he went, uncOn-
sctOusly initiating the movements
Bruin would have made in hunting
for a weak point. All his efforts were
fruitless.
The pangs Of hunger were now COM
Ing on, and night a near. Hancock
scraped up some chips and twigs, made
q fire and roasted part of the deer
that he had brought to bait the trap
with Being lightly dressed, he suf-
fered keenly from the cold night air.
He lay down On the ground, but sud-
denly he heard shifting sounds out
side and detected, by the dim light Of
the moon, a dark form gazing through
the chinks between the logs. Hancock
felt safe, although his gun was stand
ing by a tree some distance from the
trap; Mose-for it was no other
seemed to realize the fact.
Knowing his savage nature, Han
cock withdrew to the other side of the
trap as the big form rose up on his
hind legs. He could feel the bears
hot breath surging through between
the logs upon his face; and, fearing
that the brute would thrust his claws
In, he kept moving from side to side.
Daylight came at last, and Nose
trotted off. Again Hancock built a
fire and cooked the rest Of the deer
meat. He almost decided to set one
end Of the trap on fire and burn his
way out. But what If he were I'M
able to control the blaze? If he could
reach his rifle, he would be in a posi-
tion to shoot his way out, for he had
q belt full Of cartridges.
His horse, tired of standing round,
had long ago made for home.
The next morning, the neighb0rs,
seeing Hancock's horse in the yard,
surmised that the "outlaw Of the Rock
les" had secured another victim. Sew
eeral cattlenen started out in search
Of Hancock. In the middle Of the
afternoon they heard shooting, but at
first they could see nothing.
Hancock had torn his shirt into
strips, making a rope about 20 feet
long. He had then tied two stones
to a string about a yard long and fas-
tened n end Of the long line to the
middle. Then he threw the stones
out between the cracks of his prison
toward the rifle. After two hours
of practice he was able to drag the
gun within reach. He then tried des-
perately to It his way out by shoot
ing holes through a log about a foot
In diameter. Before he got very far
his comrades had located the shots
and released him.

THE COUNTRY IS SoUNH

The result of the economic QUESTIONABLE sent to
5000 business and agricultural interests and news
papers throughout the twenty-seven States compos-
ing the Mississippi Valley territory by the Mississippi
Valley Association shows that the combined sentiment
of 5000 returned questonnares is expressive OF the
opinion that the individual and financial condition OF
business in the United States is bascay sound that
the present depression in business is due to the uni
versal demand of the public for lower living costs;
that no additional system of credits is needed that
the usual law of supply and demand has little bear
ing on the present situaton that the press OF the
country has given too much publicity to depressing
rumors with regard to business; and urges truthful
statement of facts concerning the business situation
as the right of propaganda to be disseminated to
the public The composite thought and suggestions
as expressed IN the QUESTIONABLE to form basis
for the adoption by the Mississippi Valley Association
of program of constructive thought and action
tending relieve the apparent business stagnation

LEAD SMELLING AND REFINING.

The 1920 census of manufactures with reference
the lead smelling and refining industry during the
year 1919, with figures based returns from twenty
FIVE active establishments shows products valued at
$Io265sooo At the census of 1914 there twen-
ty-two establishments with products valued at $I7I
$4,000, increase of $2I,o76ooo 1873 per cent.
At the of 1909 there were twcnty-eght estab-
lishments with products valued at $I67,4o6ooo; in
1904 thirtytwo with $IS5827ooo and in I8oo thirty
nine with $I7s,466,ooo. The values include in addi-

CRUDE, OIL STOCKS.

Gross stocks Of crude oil in the United States at
the end Of April, 1921, amounted to I77ooooo bar
rels. OF this, I47sosooo barrels held by pipe
lines and on tank farms belonging to producers and
ipe line companies, S,II2,ooo barrels consisted of
Mexican crude oil held by importers and 100000
barrels (estimated) were held at rehneries. Since
January / pipe line and tank farm stocks have in
creased nearly 100000 barrels, stocks of Mexican
oil 100000 barrels and refinery stocks of crude have
declined slightly. The total stocks on hand at the
beginning of the year amounted to I54,447,ooo bar
rels, or 100000 barrels less than April 80 From
these statistics it appears that the increase in Mexi
can oil stocks has been comparatively small. The
United States has been importing Mexican oil at the
atc of IL 100000 barrels a month"; but only about
16boo bartcls have been added to stocks here each
month Stocks Of domestic crude have been added

EGYPT's COTTON PROSPECTS.

The planted to cotton in Egypt for 1921 was
considerably restricted by the decree of the Egyptian
government issued December, 1920. and conse-
quence Of that law and the general instability of the
market the under cultivation is estimated
at 26 per less than last year, according to the
American Consul at Alexandra. hi ..
The planting of cotton in Egypt started in April
but considerably retarded in all parts of the
country. In Lower Egypt which comprises av-
eagc of II per cent of the total cotton acreage the
delay varied from fifteen to twenty days, and i'll
Upper Egypt and the Fayum planting about three
weeks late. The cool weather and rains at the end
of February and the first half Of March had much to
do in delaying preparation of the land for planting
The uncertainty Of foreign demand and the fall in
cotton prices werc however, largely responsible for
delay in planting.
