He slammed it so hard that | instead of catching, it rebounded, and l Billy, seeing his chance stuck the point of his horns through, then his l nose and next his head and shoulders. 1 Then he drew back his head to hide until the train had passed by the wa ter tank, saying 10 Stubby: "Get ready, Stub, to follow me- for I am going to jump the minute was pass the water tank I can easily do it, for the train won't get under way until 1t is off this switch and on the l main track. I wish Button was here. I'm afraid he won't see us and will be carried on.' Trust him to see what is going on,' replied Stubby. 1 "Mew, how did you enjoy your l drink, boys?"
 Button, get ready to jump. We are going to jump and take to the woods" 1 Button swung himself into the car 1 to be ready to follow them from the door.

 Never mind, Button, you can get the drink you were longing for a lit tie while ago. said Billy. 'I think,'' said Stubby, i've had
 better get into the woods where we will be out of sight as soon as we can, for somebody may see us from the train and come after us.'' 1 So the three friends waded through the marsh and squeezed through a wire fence into the thick wood that bordered the track. And as they watched the two end lights of the train disappear in the distance, they kicked up their heels and laughed to think how they mad given the kid nappers the slip.
 They were caught mapping this time, sure enough" said Button.
 And you are caught punning," said Stubby.
 Well, boys, what are we going to OO now, ana where are we gO1ng? asked Billy. "I don't know what you two are going to do, but am going to eat some grass. leaves or some thing mighty quick. for I am as hun gry a bear.''

DINNER STORIES

l Two negroes, Salvation Jones and King Agrippa Johnston, living neal the Dismal Swamp, went 'possum was struck, and the dogs soon 'treed." Salvation, being the better climber, volunteered to go up and shake down the 'possum, whereupon King Agrip- pa made ready to catch it in the guano sack they took along for that purpose,
 Instead of an opossum, the dogs had treed 8 wildcat As Salvation made his way to the topmost branches the animal retreated still further out one of the overhanging limbs, and emitted an angry snar1.
 Huh? How's dat!" exclaimed Sal vatino. Never heerd no 'possum talk 1ak dat befo'i''
 "Go on, Salvation. Yo' ain't heern nothin' but de dogs. Shake him 1oosei Ise waitin','' urged King Agrippa.
 Climbing a little further out, Sal vation gave the limb mighty shake and dis1odged the wildcat Suddenly a chorus of yel1s, howls, screeches and cuss words broke loose from below.
 Hey, dar, King Agrippa!" anxious Iy called down Salvation "Yo' want me flaw ter come down an help you hoP him."

WORLD ON ITS LAST LEGS2
Why II 10 Said Mankind Won't Be
Able to Walk After the Next
10000 Years.

There is comfort for those cheer
less people who believe that the world
is on its last legs. Scientists are
backing them up. Doctor Vaughn,
the health commissioner Of Detroit,
asserts that in 10000 years there will
be no human legs at all.
1t Is a startling prediction, coming
as It does at a time when the visible
supply Of legs is larger and more
beautiful than ever. 1t seems incredi-
BILE that legs should fade out Of the
picture. With what shall generations
Of that far future walkf All, says
Doctor Vaughn, that's just 1t; the
race is going to lose Its legs because
1t doesn't use them any more.
We must remember, observes the
New York World, that Doctor Vaughn
is In a position to be pesslmlstlc. He
IL In Detroit, where almost everybody
lives on and in motorcars. Infants,
instead of being taught to toddle, are
shown how to throw out the clutch,
shift the gears and slip into first
speed; that is, all except the Ford
babies, who don't have to bother with
gear shifting.
Arms, too, will disappear about the
same time that legs depart, unless,
says Doctor Vaughn, people use their
arms more for real exertion. Is the
doctor suggesting that modern folk
are not working hard enough? 1t
sounds that way. The world needs to
be reminded that unless 1t keeps Its
biceps In order there will be no ten
mis- tournaments in hundred CEN
turtles or so. Without legs, no dane
ing. Without arms, no baseball. All
the sports Of the distant future will
be telepathic. The Babe Ruths of the
period will swat the ball with the bat
of thought. The Joie Rays will run
miles on the track Of their minds. The

VIKINGS BURIED WITH SHIPS
OIdtime Leading Freebooters Of the
Seas Were Appropriately honored
by Their Followers.

It was one Of the ancient vikings
customs to bury their prominent dead
In a ship which was sunk in the earth
and covered with a mound. Within
these burial ships were placed the
choicest belongings, horses, carts or
wagons, sleds, apparel, cooking uten-
sils and quite often living servant
accompanied the master to the grave
to minister to his wants in the halls
Of Walhalla.
Only through q fortunate circum-
stance are any relics of this kind In
existence, and that Is due to the fact
that in several cases the ships were
buried in potters' clay, which is par
ticularly good for the preservation
of wood. Under ordinary circumstances
these burial boats have been total
ly destroyed by the dampness Of the
earth, only the rotted rivets giving
any clew as to the size Of the boats.
To date only three such boats have
been found that could be recon
structed; the last one was found quite
recently, and it has proved to be the
finest of the three. 1t Is known as
the Osebrge ship. being unearthed
in the place of that name, in the
province Of Jarisberg and Laryik.

Why Britain Values the Bahamas.

The Bahamas are q chain OF coral
islands generally grouped with the
West Indies. They belong to Great
Britain. The group includes 20
islands and $50 islets. but only about
20 are inhabited. The coral rock Is
porous, retaining moisture, hence the
soil that has accumulated Is very fer
tile. The islands produce maize, cot.
ton, sisal hemp, pineapples, oranges,
lemons, olives, tamarinds, and other
sub-tropical fruits. Large quantities
Of sponges are taken from the sur
rounding seas. The principal exports
are sponges, fruits and sisal fiber. To
matoes are being extensively cult
waited and shipped to the United States
Mahogany, Hgnum-vitae, mastic, iron
wood, ebony, lockwood and satinwoot
are found throughout the islands. Tit
fiber exported In 1920 had a value o.
about half a million dollars.

WHY
Black Sheep Sometimes Appear
Among White FlOcks

Tie appearance Of BLACK lambs Ia
hock made up entirely - white
sheep has been for ages and IL stili
o cause for wonder and the basis u
superstltion~ But the study % the
laws Of breeding and heredity has Ell
planned the reasons for the sporadic
appearance Of these or-color speed
mems. according TO q bulletin Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
Feeding and management Of sheep
have nothing to do with the appear
snce OF black lambs. The black
color Is hereditary even though II may
be transmitted by ordinary white
sheep. The black color in such a case
Is what Is called a recessive character.
White sheep which transmit this char
acter at all transmit black In 80 per
cent OF their reproductive cells and
white in tie remaining 5a re- cant
Thus. such white sheep mated with
blacks-whlch can only transmit
black-produce 30 per cent black
lambs and 10 per cent white. All Of
these white lambs can transmit black.
White sheep which transmit only
whites. mated with blacks, produce
only white lambs, but all OF these
lambs can transmit black. When both
eve and ram are white, but both
transmit black, about % per cent Of
the lambs are black, so per cent are
white which transmit black, while the
remaining % per cent are true breed
ing whites

EFFECT OF cREvASsE
WATER ON OYSTERo

Now that the oyster season has fair
ly opened. oyster dealers are begin
ming to feel the effects OF the crevasss
water below New Orleans on the hi.
valves. The local supply of oysters
has not been disturbed, for these oys
tiers come mainly from the section
west Of the river, and the Bayou Cook
Four Bayous and Timbalier bay reefs
were not affected. 1t Is oysters from
these sections that are preferred BY
the local trade. The canneries, how
ever, consume the oysters from the
Louisiana marsh" and those other
sections near the mouth OF the river
into which the crevasse water ran. The
more remote sections Of this marsh
were not affected, BUT the destruction
OF the beds over a considerable extent
of the territory will affect the crop
used by the canneries. This, Of course,
refers to the canneries near New Or.
leans solely, for the beds furnishing
the supply to the important canneries
Ut MORGAN lily anu OluoI pOluIe III
that section did not suffer. New Or.
leans will consume its usual annual
supply Of 100000 barrels OF oysters
this year, as usual, and these oysters
will be the finest in the world, consid.
cred much superior for counter con.
sumption to the oysters of the Louis.
lana marsh.
The fresh water fish season has
opened with great promise and an av.
erage production during the year is
practically assured. Fishermen are
actively at work, and the catch so far
has been all that could have been rea.
sonably expected. The Conservation
Department has issued more licenses
to shrimp trawlsrs and ssiners than
usual, and there 10 a record catch Of
these crustaceans promised during the
season. Last year the catch reach I'D
the enormous total OF 34.00O,000 pounds
and the promise this year is for a pro.
duction of about 100000 pounds
