Little ST. Kilda, one of the outer
most of the Outer Hebrides Islands,
which newspapers say is soon to
catch up with the news of nine or
ten months ago when the West High
land steamer again calls at Its port'
was among the last of the strong
holds of the great aux before It's
final extinction" says a bulletin OF
tho National Geographic Society.
This bird was at one time val
liable asset of the islanders, who now
catch puffins, the fulmar-one of the
largest of the petrels-guillemots
razor-birds and solan geese both for
their food and oil. A specimen of
the great aux was captured alive off
St KiIda in 1921 and a later one in
1S40. One or two later specimens
may have fingered on in Iceland or
the Farce Islands, but it evidently
disappeared from the earth entirely
about 1874 or 1S45.
Birds Yield Fish OIL.
During one week of August each
year the st. kildans take the fulmar
in great numbers. Their bodies yield
an oil which is practically a pure fish
oil, possessing most of the qualities
of that made from the liver of the
cod. After this has been extracted.
the islanders preserve the meat of
the bird for consumption during the
winter months. Nearly every person
and thing that comes from st. Kilda
can be identified by it's fish h-oil smell.
THE island. which is probably the
core of a Tertiary volcano, becomes
lost every autumn when the heavy
mists of the Atlantic close in on 1T
and make the one small port on its
precipitous sides inaccessible. Its
people have no means of communica-
tion with the outside world during
their isolation. For generations,
when they have been near starvation
or afflicted with diseases during the
winter months, they have relied upon
sea messages for aid. They write
messages and put them in boxes or
bottles when the wind is blowing
from the west and trust that they
will reach the shores of Scotland
within a week. A wireless station

Gallantry.
From judge

A young soldier from the back
woods section had been invited to a
military dance and was frankly hor-
rified at the up-to-date days of the
young women. His partner, after
spending half of the dance in agony
over his awkwardness, suggested that
they sit out the other half of the
dance, and led him to the veranda
There she drew out gold cigarette
Case and remarked: "Of course, you
don't mind girls smoking?"
The young soldier was determined
to be just as modern as she.

Anthony Trollope's Cigars.

FROM the Manchester Guardian.
Anthony Trollope was among the
men who could work hard and smoke e
hard, and found it impossible to do
the one without the other. For those
regular hours of literary toll when
he timed himself to do so many
words per minute the novelist kept
a special supply of very choice cigars,
which he housed with the utmost
care. One wall of his library was
divided into a number of little bins,
fitted with sliding doors and care
fully numbered. These were all filled
with cigars, laid across and across,
like planks of timber. to get thor
oughly seasoned. Trollope work ed
through the bins in methodical
fashion, refilling each. as emptied,
from a cask of cigars specially inn
ported from Havana. and dating it.

Just Begin o Live at Fifty.

From the Topeka Capital.
After fifty you get a better grasp
on realities, you quit doing things
you ought not to do and you begin
doing some fthe things you ought
to do, says Nathan Loar. celebrating
his 101st birthday anniversary in
Kansas. Men don't begin to get used
to living until after they are fifty this
centenarian says. Before that they
are like birds just learning to fly.
Work, he thinks, never killed any
man. 1t is what men do when they
are playing that kills them-too much
liquor on Saturday nights and sitting
up late when body must be up early
next day, and worrying about things
one has done and ought not to have
done. Money is no good except for
what 1t will buy; it never brings any
body lasting happiness. At 101 this
old man confesses there is only one
thing that hurts him to think about
the last goodbye.
There is nothing that could not be
worse. Just suppose you had to lather

It was back in 1911, soon after the Winter Garden was first opened in March of thatf year, that the Broadway institution contributed it's first happiness to the Towards. After long struggle from boyhood the brothers had become headliners in vaudeville. On one Sunday night they appeared in a Winter Garden concert with such success that they received long term contract at bet ter figures than they had suspected existed anywhere. Places were al once made for them in the "Whirl of Society," the current attraction at the Garden. That was the beginning of the Towards affection for the big Broadway house. The following year they were well placed in the first Passing Show, "The Passing Show Of 1922" and made their debut as ac- tors sSince the first Passing Show the Towards have watched ten "Pass- ing shows" in all of which they have. had parts, with the exception of two. Now they are stars in their own right. them is d distinguished and capable company of artists that the Messrs. Shuberts have brought to- gether.
