MORE THAN ONE GOOD POINT
Uncle Jack Wanted the Fine Qualities
Of HE Dog to Be Thoroughly
Understood.

"Out in Kansas there used to be an
old fellow named Uncle Jack, and he
had a dog" runs the story told by Vic
tor Murdoch Of the federal trade com
mission. 1T was not highly hged
dog, but it was a wonder at catching
rats. Moreover, Uncle Jack was fond
Of the dog. Uncle Jack had few other
intimates because Of a disposition to
be rather savage in his conversation.
He imagined that half the people he
met were antagonistic toward him, and
this made him not any too companion
able. So 1t was just as well that he
had a warm friend in the dog.
zone night as he and the dog
were passing a corner grocery where
everybody loafed, two or three by
ISLANDERS sought TO make hit with
Uncle Jack by complimenting his dog.
"'That's certainly fine little dog Of
Uncle Jacks remarked one Of the
bystanders.
Ives, don't suppose there's q bet

Uncle Jack turned and glared at the
bunch and hurled this:

in rats, Ell? Well, I'll have ye know
he's just as good on mice-ye goldarn

CHASE OLD AS THE WORLD
Deep-LaId Instinct Of Man and Woman
10 to Go In Pursuit Of the
Opposite Sex.

Even the pursuit OF the innocent
butterfly reveals the age-old instinct
of man and woman to give chase to
the opposite sex. An acute observer
at the University of Kansas has noted
that the men and women students in
certain "bugology" classes, while
chasing gayly fitting butterflies, give
cries that unconsciously portray their
different viewpoints.
A mixed group Of students was
roaming the campus on Mount Dread
the other day, nets in hand, ready to
capture certain butterflies as speci-
mems for classwork. Several butter
flies were spied down by a big lilac
hedge. The students gave chase.
"Oh, catch him, catch him." cried
several of the girls excltedly, as they
dashed off after a brilliantly colored
victim.
There she goes" Get her" shes
a beaut," sounded out male voices, as
the men tore out after a 1uttering
prospect.
1t has been said that "after man
came woman" But surely 1t is equal
ly true that after woman goes mar"

Mulberry Tree Slow to Leave.

Here and there in Detroit you may
see trees that are not yet in leaf, al
though all other trees may be in full
foliage, remarks the News Of that
city. These laggards are mulberry
trees, probably the slowest of all the
more common trees to bud and come
to leaf in sprIngtime. AS a compensa-
ton for this, however, they remain
green longer and retain their leaves
later in autumn, than their sisters and
brothers among the trees. When other
trees have been shorn of their leaves
by the frost the mulberry is still full
leafed and green The mulberry
fruit, maturing in late summer, is
sometimes white, the other variety
dark purple and shaped like the black
berry. Not many housewives make
use of them, as they are flat-tasting
alone, and useable only when mixed
with another fruit. Birds get most OF
them, anyway, and robins especially
love to feast on them.

Would Make an Artificial Volcano.

Nature failed to provide Glacier Ma
tional park with volcano, so oil men
of Shelby, Mont, contemplate piping
natural gas from the Kevin-Sunburst
oil field, 60 miles away, to park
mountain, where they will sink shaft
from summit to base, connect 1t up
and touch 1t OFF. 1t Is pointed out that
little use is now being made of the
100000 cubic feet Of gas which Is
produced daily by two wells in the oil
field. The promoters of this novel
scheme explain that the intense heat
generated by the burning of large
quantity Of gas in the mountain shaft
would soon melt the rock formation to
such an extent that surprisingly real
istic volcanic crater would be formed
