The Gift of Tongues

Over in France the average dough
boy had gorgeous confidence in his
ability to speak the language of the
country. In a Norman village one day
a perplexed-looking private, who had
not been abroad very long. approached
a seasoned campaigner of the A. e. f.
and asked the latter if he spoke
French.
Sure l speak French" said the vet
eran. whats the matter?'
Here's what's the natter said
the green soldier. THE Frog that
keeps that shop yonder across the
street sold me some post cards. and
gave him a ten franc note, and now
he's holding out part of my money on
me. l wish you'd come on over there
with me and straighten the thing out
and make that guy hand me what's
coming to me-"
"Spre l WILL" said the other.
Moved by curiosity, friend of mine
trailed behind them, arriving just in
time to hear the following dialogue
between the linguist and the store

"Oui, oui, monsieur"

A Passion FOR Statistics


Down in the foothills of the Ten
nessee mountains there once resided
gentleman whose claims to distinc-
ton lay in three things-his appetite,
his capacity and his digestion. He
played no favorites in the food line
he could eat anything that was edible
and in incredible quantities. But II
he liked one thing a little better than
anything else that thing was the
canned oyster of commerce-the kind
that used to be packed in a circular
can with bulls head On the label
and which was customarily anointed
with pepper sauce before being con-
sumed
In the hope of testing his storage
facilities group of his neighbors
formed pool, each contributing half
dollar. The entire amount was in
vested in cove oysters and then the
champion was invited to come to the
general store on an appointed after
noon and show what he could do. He
came and before an awestricken audi
ence he showed
Disdaining to use tools he swal-
lowed down the provided bivalves,
juice and all from the container. AL
most before the storekeeper could
open fresh can he had emptied the
can opened a minute before. In half
an hour the supply on the shelves of
the store had vanished and still the
marvel showed no evidence of being
Satiated.
He scooped up few truant oysters
which had lodged in his whiskers and
in the opening Of his waistcoat and
sent them on their way to join their
brethren. Then he remarked:
WALL since there don't pear to be
no more eatin' goin' on / reckon I'd
better be putin out for home-it's
gittin on toward supper time"
Two of the contributors to the purse
drifted out upon the porch to watch
his slouching figure vanish in the
dusk. For a space they stood in ST.
lence. Then one of them said:
"'Tain't no matter of doubt about
i'll reckin that there Anse Coombs
is shorely the champion cove oyster
eater Of all creation"
HE shorely is" agreed the other
Il wonder how many cove oysters
could he eat at one sittin'?" said the
first.
''More'n you and me could pay fur

oysters they is in the world?" said the

Helena Morrill,, who sang the role
of Airline, was well suited to the part.
Her voice, at first seeming to be a
little lacking in power, later proved
to be ample to fill the auditorium
with apparent ease. Even her softest
pianissimos in the dream song, which
she sang beautifully, carried to the
furtherest points in the big building
with flutelike clearness. Her enuncia-
ton was unusually good, a point in
which she far surpassed the remainder
of the cast. NOcally and physically,
she made a charming picture in the
role of the kidnapped daughter of the

Southworth Frasier, as Thaddeus,

State Fair

Columbus, Ohio-With a display of
sheep that surpasses any similar ex-
hibit in the world, the 1925 sheep
show at Ohio State Fair, August 81
to September 5, is expected to hang
up a new mark in the number Of ami
mails entered in the various classes.
Last year more than 2100 sheep were

show held that year. A year later
the entries mounted to 1900; last
years mark will be surpassed in 1925,

Particular interest will be shown in
the Merino classes, for in this breed
Ohio's sheep population comprises al
most one-half of the total in the
United States. According to L. B.
Palmer, agricultural board member in
charge of sheep, the Shropshire breed
and Rambouillets will make strong
bids for major honors. Premiums to-
falling $11,47S are hung up in the
sheep, wool and goats department.
A feature of the sheep show that
will interest even the layman will be
the Tunis exhibit These sheep are
natives Of Africa
So successful was the special ram
sale conducted at last years State
Fair that it will be repeated again
this year. This will be limited to
competitors at the 1925 fair and will
offer sheep breeders an opportunity
either to dispose of or acquire choice
animals that will be placed ION the
