Birds Make Work for PLUMBERS.

A plumber working on a stopped-up
pipe to the kitchen sink at the resi-
dence of J. R. Dicks, Plant City. Fla,
discovered that the pipe had been
clogged by pecan nuts dropped in the
top of vent pipe by birds. The birds
gathered the nuts from a nearby
pecan tree and thought they were
storing them in the hole, while the
nuts dropped down to the bottom Of
the pipe and clogged the drain from
the kitchen sink, causing it to over
flow. A quart of nuts was removed
from the pipe.

A BOYS POINT OF VIEW

Aunts will be kissers.
In uncles there is money.
All the world scolds a boy.
There's no accounting for girls.
Life is one whipping after another.
A watchers place is under the sofa.
Castor oil casts its terrors before it.
A haunted house is a thrill forever.
Luxury, thy name is going barefoot !
Blep will happen in the best of LET
tiers.
To the tree climber belong the APP
pies.
There's no place like the gangs
cave.
Roof climbing offers a multitude of
thrills.
It's long month that has the circus
at the end.
Easy lies the head that rests in
mothers arms.
Perpetual penny saving is the price
of pitchers mitt.
Whom mother would make mad she
makes tend the baby.
They who laugh least at your re-
marks in company are your folks.

TOTAL PROHIBITION
TWO "DRY" MEASURES INTRO DUcED IN BRITISH PARLiA-
 MENT

LONDON, March 8-The ground work for what is expected to be the first debate in the British parliament on a measure for total prohibition was laid aside today when two private member bills dealing with the liquor question were introduced and formal ly read for the first time in the house of commons.
 The most sweeping bill was tha: sponsored by Edwin Scryngeour, pro- hibition r,ember for Dundee, backed, by two. or three labor members who are teetptalers. The measure would prohibit the manufacture, importation and safe of alcoholic liquors iii the United Kingdom.
 The other measure was introduced by Lady Astor. It would amend the law with regard to the sale of intoxt- eating iquor to young persons. Private member bills in the British parliament, lacking government sup. port, are rarely adopted.
