Joe. aged chimpanZee, alleged
member of a tribe whence sprang
the Caucasian race, has known a
moment OF exaltation. His keeper,
as usual, entered the cage to clean
it. Joe, just for a change, swung
his knotty black hand around and
knocked the keeper senseleSs with
ease, went out the open door and
walked in the park. He stopped
to exchange courtesies with his
friend, John Barrett, eighty-three-
year-old park employee. Soon he
was on his way back to the cage

The Government, which found so
many billions for the wars OF other
people In Europe, ought to find
few dollars for building the canals
chat this country needs. One canal
would unite the Lakes and the Mis-

canal for ships unite the Lake
country with the Atlantic. "Every

Modern crime turns an ancient
test upside down. In Exodus, 2Oth
CHAPTER. 5th verse, you are told
that the iniQuity of the fathers Is
visited upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation.
Now the crime of the child is
visited upon the father. Albert
Loeb, whose son killed the Franks
boy is dead, killed by sorrow and
disgrace. That should satisfy the
bloodthirsty that demanded some
body hanged"
That unfortunate father died a
thousand deaths to atone for his
sons hideous crime.
Have you noticed how little mon
seem to think about their souls
while they are alive, and how much
tney think about what viii happen

A corpse left behind is no more I'M

Hemmed in corner of their garden
by the spreading flames of a fire
they had started to burn weeds and
nigh grass, two housewives of Green
vile, S. c., were rescued from pos
slble injury by the quick action of
their neighbor, Tenderfoot Scout Rob-
ert Hunter.
Scout Hunter was cutting wood on
his parents premisis," states a local
account, "when screams and smoke
attracted his attention. He ran to
the fire and found the two women
shut in the garden on three sides by
the high fence, and on the fourth by
the rapidly growing flames which
had already attacked the wooden gate.
-" In moment the agile Scout had
scaled the fence and was in the gar
den. Taking off his sweater, he beat
down path through the fire, and
cleared the gate of the flames. He
then led the women out of the garden
through the gate and returned to put
out the grass fire and to clear the
fence from flames.
while the boy was assisting the
women to place of safety, the
flames spread also to the nextdoor
house, and were viciously licking the
roof. When young Hunter saw this
new danger he ran to the house and
climbed to the rolf. where he beat
down the flames with his charred
sweater. He then secured a garden
hose. and put out the smouldering
embers. By the time the fire truck
arrived, the Scout had put out the
fire.
"The story was not reported to the
local scout executive by the amateur
fireman, and it is likely that an ac-
count of his deed would have never
become public if spectator had not
mentioned young Hunters act to his
Scoutmaster."
