There Was No Hurry About 1t

A brawny negro prize-fghter made
application at an athletic club which
was putting on series of bouts, for
an opportunity to meet some suitable
opponent. He announced that he
was a dark cloud, whirlwind, q
tempest, a tornado, a hurricane and
q sirocco.
His language impressed the match
maker and for the preliminary go he
was entered against dependable
colored scrapper. The stranger made
a deplorable showing. For two
rounds his opponent hammered him
all over the ring. Early In the third
round the beaten darby decided he
had enough. He took an easy poke
on the jaw and fiattened out on the
canvas to be counted out.
The referee was half way through
with his tally when disgust moved him
to interpolate speech:
"Say, niger" he growled out Of the
corner of his mouth, you amt hurt.
Get up from there! Amt you goin'
TO fight any more?"
without stirring from his comfort
able recumbent position the whirl-
wind made answer:
'.Oh, yassah. I'm gwine fight some
mo'-hut not tonight"

The earthquake was felt strongly in
Los Angeles, Hollywood and surround

no damage was reported. The shocks
extended as far north as Bakersfield.
Santa Barbara's hotels usually are
not crowded this time of the year, as
winter is the big season, yet there is
a brisk influx of tourists the year
around The population is about TO-

In Los Angeles the shocks were
enough to sway downtown buildings.

No Worlds War Need Apply

Immediately following the Spanish
American war story went the
rounds regarding volunteer who suf-
fered grievous hardships, first at
Chickamauga, then at Tampa, then In
Porto Rico and wound up by having
spell of slow fever. One night,
when he was convalescent but still
shaky, an officer passing through the
hospital ward overheard the invalid
as he communed with himself.
II love my country" the volunteer
was saying. 1--WE fought for her and
II twas necessary 1 was ready to die
for her. But If 1 get out this mess
amt never goin' to love another
country as long as live"
Fer this ancient yarn there is a
companion piece Of comparatively re-
cent vintage. A battered veteran Of
the regular army, who had been
wounded at Chateau Thierry, was
visited by chaplain. The latter in
quired regarding his well-being and
expressed the hope that the soldier
would live to wear the uniform for
a great many years to come
well, PADRE" said the old-timer,

how the thing stands: Before this
here Worlds war came along I
thought I'd had a lot of experience
and had seen my share of hard cam
paignin'. / served In Cuby and In
the Philippines, and when the Indians

after them several times, out West.
But we didn't have to deal with pizen

Of galvanized iron ash-cans In any Of
them little mixups. Padre, amt lost

A Stickler for the Truth
/ have friend who practices law
In the Florida courts and deals in

he was on his way In a car from his
groves to his home in Miami. On
the road he overlook a lank native
who seemingly was in a high state Of
Indignation, muttering to himself az
he trudged along and clenching and
unclenching his freckled fists.
The lawyer stopped and offered to
give him q lift.
II amt goin' so very fur" said the
stranger as he climbed into the
car, "but can't git to whar I'm goin'

Presently they came to 9 cabin set
among straggly fruit trees. A very
large, very strong looking man sat on
doorstep busily engaged In doing
nothing at all.
Stop right herew commanded the
aggrieved person. "Thar's that thar
Watts yonder. Now, mister, jest you
keep your eye on mel"
From the car my friend watched
while his late passenger dismounted
and marched toward the front door
Of the cabin. At his approach the
larger man uncoiled himself to a
height of considerably more than six
feet, at the same time moistening the
palms Of his two brawny hands after
the approved fashion.
The two men exchanged q few
words; then, with the air of having
satisfactorily accomplished difficult
but necessary piece Of business, the
invader turned about and returned to
where the car stood in the road.

Feed of Dairy Cows

The feed of dairy cows is over half

the amount and character of the feed
given largely determines the produc-
ton of good cows Therefore, the
dairyman has on one hand the prob

cows at all times so that good produc-
ton will be secured, and on the other
hand the problem of keeping as low
as possible the expense attached to
such large item in the cost of milk
