ADVICE WELL WORTH TAKING
No Doubt Driver Of Car Realized
Afterward That His Sarcasm
Really Was Wasted.

A big passenger car was a victim
of the sleet in Central avenue. The
driver tried valiantly to keep it in
the middle of the street, but one hind
wheel slipped over little, the driver
tried to stop the 'boat," the rear
wheel Slid along the car track-well,
auto drivers know the rest.
When the car stopped sliding it's
two rear wheels rested against the
curb and it's two front ones were on
the car track. Then ensued much
speeding up Of the engine and much
Wlizzing Of rear WHEELS, but no for
ward movement.
"What's the matter; trying to get
away from the curb?" a bystander
asked
"Oh, no, I'm polishing the pavement
so the kids can have some fun !" sar-
castically exclaimed the driver of the
car.
"Well, if you'll just cut that engine
down and slip her out of high into
low, I'll give you a little shove and
you'll walk right away from the curb"
the interloper said.
The advice was followed, the wheels
ceased their mad whirl and the car.
under the gentle urge Of the bystander,
moved away-Indianapolis News.

influenza epidemics always moved in
cycles separated by about 20 years.
knowledge of this kind is bound to be
reassuring, for there is peculiar psy-
chology among most people to exag-
gerate their ailment, and almost every
pulmonary or broncial ailments now is
believed to be influenza.
But even with such security and
comfort as can be vouchsafed there is
still abundant reason for caution in the
matter of disease. The housing situa-
ton still is far from satisfactory. Peo-
are crowded too much and, of course,
crowdlng is always dangerous and con-
ducive to the transmission of disease.
This is particularly true in the larger
cities.
There is also the question of crowd
ed street cars. 1t is doubtful if t,,,erc
is any greater medium for the ex-
change Of harmful bacteria. Too
many ride to their place of work and
deprived themselves of their only o.
portunity Of getting helpful exercise
and building up their bodily resistance
to ailments. T.. ~

TOWNSHIP OF PRINCETON.
With Us Again.

Thousands of people throughout the
United States are again frightened by
the reports from many quarters that
influenza is prevalent and may reach
an epidemic stage.
Fortunately there is nothing to SUBJ
stantiate this belief so far as can be
learned. There is, of course, quite an
amount Of the old-fashioned grip.
which is always with us at this time
Of the year, and until the influenza
epidemic of a few years ago was not
considered unusually dangerous.
There is also an average amount of
pneumonia, which seems to keep pace
with minor pulmonary ailments.
For all of us the memory of the last
influenza epidemic is such that the re-
port of new one can not but cause
alarm, but there is no excuse for it.
The United State public health service
made a careful survey of the situation
and arrived at the conclusion that one
attack Of influenza brought immunity
from another attack in almost every
instance. 1t was also developed that

Elephant Graveyards

Most of the ivory we use is obtained
by digging, and not by shooting.
Elephants have their own code of
customs. One Of these is that no men,
Der of the herd must die amongst his
fellows. When an old elephant feels
that his course is run, he separates
himself from the herd and makes for
It's graveyard-for each herd has q
burial ground Of its own.
This is always a swampy tract of
land overgrown with trees and rank
vegetation. Here he dies, and his great
body buries itself by it's own huge
weight in the soft soil.
Many Of these elephant graveyards
are known to the African natives who
make journeys to them each year for
the purpose of digging out the ivory
tusks. Few white men have ever seen
one, for the natives keep their where
abouts close secret, knowing that an
elephant graveyard is as valuable as
gold mine

UNABLE 70 REC 0Nlz & TUNES I'M
Many fsopls 81 Command ding Ability
Have Admittedly Lacked Apprs-
ciatton Of Music.

Lord Brickenhead, lord high chan
cellor DIETER known in America
some years ago as FREDDY Smith),
confessed at public dinner recently
that he recognized the tune Of "God
Save the King" only because people
stand up when It was being played.
Some other famous people had an
equally poor ear for music-one, the
Empress Eugene. DR.. Ethel Smyth,
who for 80 years was neighbor Of
the empress during her English exile
at Farnboro and was constantly in
her company, says she was totally
devoid Of musical instinct. Once when
local band struck up .'Partant pour
Ia Syr1e' In her honor the empress
mistook it for God Save the King"
Sir Walter Scott was equally i'm
pervious to music, though many pas
sages in his writings imply that he
liked and understood it. I'm music"
he told Lord Melbourne, II don't know
high from low" - 49,
SW1nburne's lack of musical ear was
byword among his acquaintances.
Edmund Gosse describes a practical
joke played on Swinburne, which
made me indignant at the time but
which now seems innocent enough and
not without interest. A lady, having
taken the rest Of the company into
her confidence, told Swinburne that
she would render on the piano very
ancient Florentine ritornello just dis
covered. She then played Three
Blind Mice and Swinburne was en-
chanted. He found that it reflected
to perfection all the cruel beauty of
the Medicis-which perhaps it does."-
