Jesse Wallace Improving

The latest word from Mr.. Jesse
Wallace OF Pittsburgh, mention of
whose serious condition was made,
is to the effect that he is improving.
1t will be recalled that he fell from
building recently and broke both
wrists and was badly hurt about the
head. For a time 1t was feared that
his skull was fractured. However,
now it does not seem to be the case.

FARMER.

A. Hens are like people. Some
of them lay and some of them lie.
AS a usual thing hen lays and then
brags about it. But in that case
Dragging is not lying. But sometimes
she get out and does a big amount
of Dragging about something that she
has not done. In that case she is ly-
ing. Some people are like hens of
that character, always cackling about
something that has not been done.
SO my dear Mr.. Farmer, like people,
1t depends upon the hen whether she
lays or lies. If she gets up in the
morning and goes on her nest and
lays an egg and then gets out and
cackles, she lays and does not lie, but
II she gets up and begins to cackle
after having forgotten to go to her
nest she is lying. So you see that the
hen, like men, can not lay and lie.

ANXIOUS.
A. 1t depends upon the time and

not as common for young men to
hold hands with their sweethearts
as 1t is for married men to hold their
wives hands. have known married
men to hold their wives hands for
three or more hours at a time if
it requires that long to get them in

gagged to be married 1t is all right to
hold a girls hand, especially if she
will not allow you to hold her waist.
But, it is a mighty poor thrill that
you get from merely holding hands.
When fellow is in love with a girl,
if he has grit enough, he generally
holds the girl with one arm while he
holds her head back for kiss with
the other hand. Still, | suppose, the

GONFALON gets
AWAY With TRAP
Steals a Duck, Comes Back
For Mate and is
Caught
TOOK SQUIRREL
ALONG ALSO

TORONTO-It has been the habit
OF gerfalcons to prey on ducks from
time immemorial. But, as a result
OF ambition on the part Of one OF
these duck" hawks TO overdo this
precedent established right, It is now
flying about in the aerial regions
with the embarrassment Of a steel
jump trap fastened to it's leg.
The gerfalcon made Off with a pet
canvas back belonging to G. II. Cor
san of Islington on Good Friday.
Encouraged by this initial success.
it came back the next day with
"eagle winged pride OF sky aspiring
and ambitious thoughts"
Mr.. Corsan had prepared for the
second visit by removing the other
duck-the mate Of the missing can
vas back-and tying a delectable
lead red squirrel prominently on a
post. The gerfalcon swooped down
on this easy picking" without a
warning instinct that II was too
easy. The powerful bird was caught
IN the lIdpf anu ludQe us lIsL nc
quaintance with a human "con
game"
But IL was more fortunate than
human dreamers OF 100 per cent
dividends. Such was the strength
OF its long, dark, pointed wings that
it wrenchad the trap free from the
fastenings OF nails and staples
which held It to the post and few
again into its native heights with
the trap fastened TO its leg like a
stock certificate. Moreover. it took
the appetizing squirrel along, too.
II any one should see a gerfalcon
freighted with steel, Mr.. Corsan
asks that he be notified, as he wishes
TO secure the bird for the Royal
Ontario Museum, for which he col
lects specimens This would also
enable him TO recover the trap
which didn't trap. Another try may
vndicate it,
