Sudden Cold Spell
Proves Uncomfortable

Yesterday was the coolest day Of
the season thus far with the mercury
registering very little above freezing.
The sun shone brightly in spite of the
weather predictions to the contrary
but biting wind swept the streets
all day long. For the first time of the
year auto drivers began to blanket
their radiators on the streets and
many a rusty crank was pulled from
beneath the seat to turn the cold
motors over.
One unfortunate Ford owner was
vending his way homeward about 3
A. M. when he stopped in the middle
of Silver street opposite Charles
street. He cranked Justify for q
while and then peeked into his gas
tank. Sad to relate but the tank was
empty. He finally succeeded in get
ting little gas but even then he
was not much better off and after an
hour or so work at the crank accord
ing to reports of a night hawk he
sadly pushed his car up to the curb
ing and left 1t.
A late Halloween celebrator had an
idea about A. M. and when he ar
rived at the corner Of school and
Pleasant streets he smashed the glass
and rung in Box So of the fire alarm.
His idea Of a joke was not appre-
ciated and II he had been caught
about that time by the group of dis
gusted firemen and other citizens who
had been aroused by the call he
might have met with sudden death.
Some more kindly disposed ventured
that he must have been drinking
bootleg liquor to do such a mean act.
1t is a strange thing but when a fire
alarm is rung in every body seems
disappointed rather than pleased il
the alarm is false. The ali out
whistle blew about 4.10 A. M.

Unpopular Animal WITH Hunter

In an interesting article entitled
After Big Game With a Camera"
by Major A. Radcliffe Dugmore, in
the Wide World Magazine, the au-
thor has this to say about the harte-
beest:
The East African plains TEEN with
smaller game. including vast herds
of antelope. One animal. the harte-
beest, l soon discovered to be an in
tolerable nuisance, constituting itself,
as 1t does, a sentinel to warn other
animals of the hunters approach. On
one occasion | was anxious to photo
graph big herd of zebra, animals
which by reason of their inherent
shyness, I had not previously sue
cceded in "bagging" pictorially to the
best advantage. Judging by thciI
movements, l concluded that the &c
bra were working their way to a
certain water hole. near which there
was a good chance of concealment.
No sooner had l reached the water
hole, however, than couple of
hartebeest sighted me, and immedi-
ately galloped off to where the zebra
were feeding, warning the herd with
snorts that sent it scattering across
the plains.
This happened not once. but many
times, and as a result realized why
the hartebeest was so unpopular
with the hunting fraternity. and
why 1t so often fell victim to the
gun.
