You Said II.

"It has been the mistake of the in
tellectual revolutionist or radical that
he has cluttered himself up with too
many minor and unessential revolts
and radicalisms; revolts in art, lam
gaage, music, thought, religion, morals,
habits, manners. He has approached
the working classes with Nietzsche in
one hand and Freud in the other:
whereas the books that in, my opin-
ion are the most effective for purposes
OF proletarian agitation are still the
Bible and Charles Dickens. Simeon

The
Scrap Book
uNHURT BY DEADLY PolsoNs
Many Animals and Birds Make Food
of Insects and Reptiles That Are
Usually Avoided.

There are many animals and birds
which are quite unharmed By the
stings of insects, or even the poison
of the. most deadly snakes.
Ducks love to feed on bees, which
they will swallow in dozens without
any ill-effects. The same immunity
is shared by another bird-the bee
eater, and apparently by the Deaths
head moth.
The South American ant-eater
makes tasty meals off ants of the most
poisonous kinds. He goes to hill
and proceeds to scratch a hole in it
with his powerful fore-claws; then,
lying down, he pushes his long tongue
into the breach. The ants swarm on
the waiting tongue and as sooa as it
is nicely covered Its owner draws 1t
in.
The badgers thick fur seems to pro-
tect him completely against the at
tacks Of wasps. His fondness for
honey often induces him to dig out
a wasp's nest. Most curious Of all
are certain birds which delight in eat
ing deadly snakes. The stork lunches
eontentedly on an adder or two, though
he has swallowed poison enough to
kill man.

WE ALL GIVE ADVICE

We all give advice to the man who Is
down
And sing about sunslliny days;
we tell him a laugh will get rid of the
frown
And beckon sunbeams through the haze.
But sometimes the blue ones person
called "me,"
And the rough way seems dismal and
long,
Then we straightway forget our advice
about glee
And the tune to our sunshiny song.
For it's easier far to tell others to smile.
And to point to sunbeams coming
through
When our own world is bright and we're
glad all the while,
But it's harder to smile when you're
blue.
We can see how another is foolish to pine
When we know our own troubles are
few,
But oh, 1t is hard to see the sunshine
And to smile when everything's blue.

Old Oil Well Still PRODUCING.

The oldest oil well that is still pro-
ducing was drilled recently from the
second to the third sand and shot with
40 quarts of nitroglycerln. 1t Is re-
spending nicely, its daily production
being ten barrels.
The we'll was drilled in 1860 at Nc
Clintockville, two miles from Oil City,
and its production was supplied to
Henry H. Rogers, one of the founders

he and Charles P. Ellis erected one
still refinery at McClintockville.
Joseph E. Robson, of Oil City, is

Bead Forty Paoes an Hour.

Read Forty Pages an Hour.
How fast can you read? President
R. NJ. Hughes Of Miami university, al
ter an investigation states that In the
case of ordinary reading the average
college student should be able to CLEAN
the thought from the printed page at
the rate of 40 pages an hour. BE also
says that there are several students
at Miami able to read tntelligently
at the rate Of 120 pages an hour.
Tests were made with regular read
ing assignments made by the profess
sors and not with light reading such
as fiction. It is sometimes. erroneous
~ thought that the rapid reader skins
over his text, not comprehending conf
pletely what he reads. However, it
has been definitely proved that the
efficient reader is the rapid reader
and as the result Of his investigation,
President Hughes is requiring all MI
ami freshmen to attend series Of
lectures given by the faculty men on
the subject of efficient reading.

them over the great Sonora desert.
After leaving Mexico, the globe
trotters entered California, from
which point they shipped to Honolulu.
Upon their return to this country,
some time later, they hit the northern

as Jeuna, Alaska. On the return trip
the tourists crossed the great Cana

Worlds Champion Tourists
Arrive.

A special construction gray auto
mobile, covered with coating of
dust, and inscribed with the names of
hundreds of cities, towns, villages,
and hamlets, arrived in the city late
Saturday afternoon. It's occupants
were two men and two ladies, and
considerable interest was aroused
when the unusual tourist outfit came
gliding down Broad Street.
Upon investigation it was learned
that the party was, indeed unusual,
for they were none other than the
worlds champion globe trotters, who
have, up to date, travelled 144,842
miles over this and other countries.
The party consists of Nell Wander
we'll, of California, pilot, AL Reed,
mechanic and driver, Gertrude Shale,
prominent magazine writer of Bos-
ton, Mass, and Ray Laster, an expert
cameraman.
1t was learned that the touring
party left Atlanta, Ca, on Septem-
Der 22nd, 1919, and proceeded to
New York. They then travelled back
through the south shipped to Cuba,
then to Central America. After an
extended tour of that country, the
party returned to the United States,
and struck for the west, touring
Oklahoma, and other western states.

WILL CLOSE HISTORIC ALLEY

Pope's Head alley will have to be

The alley, which dates back to the
days Of Henry vi, and is named after
noted tavern, is mentioned several
times in the DIARY of Samuel

was famous for it's cutters. Pepys

AFRICAN TRIALS BY ORDEAL
AZ in the Middle Ages, the Accused
Has Little Chance Of Proving
His Innocence.

In one part Of Africa native who
has fallen foul of the law can only
prove himself innocent by swimming
through pool infested with croco-
diles. If he gets through safely-al-
most an impossible feat-he is q free
man.
Not so dangerous, but exceedingly
unpleasant, is the "ordeal by pepper"
The accused is given a pipe-says
Dugald Campbell, in his book entitled
"1n the Heart of Bantuland"-andt this
is filled to the top of the bowl with
mixture Of tobacco, red pepper, and
one or two lesser ingredients. The
offender has to smoke this peppery
mixture until all the tobacco is smoked
to dust. Should he be forced to spit,
he is considered guilty.
Mr.. Campbell's book is full Of in
terest. He tells us that dolls, in Ban
tuland are made from corncobs. Clay
is used for the heads, and beads for
the eyes and teeth.
Should child die, the doll is hand
ed to sister, but If there is no sis
ter, the doll is buried with all cere-
mony in a. grave beside that Of the

NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW RULES
Far Beyond That Stage Of the
Writing Game.

"A man," said the Schoolmaster,
may know all the rules of poetry
and never write a poem; know all the
rules Of art and never paint pic
ture; know all the laws of harmony,
thorough bass and counterpoint and
never write or sing song that touches
a mans soul and starts him drifting
on gay dreams or reveries that are
sad.
"The reason is that these people
never progress farther than rules.
Knowing rules is but the beginning.
Perhaps man cannot write with
out having learned certain rules,
though that is debatable, but to write
we'll, man must have passed so far
beyond rules that he does not think Of
them. But pardon ME for speaking
at such length on this subject. I was
led to thinking of it by hearing so
much talk of what is called news
paper English
"You have all heard men and wom-
en- say, and giving an upward tilt to
the nose or brow, oh, it is news
paper English! Sometimes they say
with high air, oh, no. do not write
for the newspapers. I contribute to
the magazines Why, bless your dear
hearts, the best English today is writ

rottenest written is found in books
and magazines. There is wider and
a deeper knowledge of the English
