BREAD FOR FAMILY
Man Close to Death After
Repeated Clippings.

Montreal.-After eight times selling
his blood to buy bread for his starv-
ing family, worker of this city has
been referred to the Family Welfare
association by the hospital, which
found him too weak to give another
TRANSMISSION.
For each pint of blood drawn from
thesveins Of his arms he received $40.
With each dole he would stagger home
and turn the money over to his wife
to stock the larder, then he would 60
to bed for few hours before going
out to work. 1t Is computed by doc
tors that he sold about six quarts Of
blood. With the money thus secured
he supported himself, wife, four young
children, q widowed sister-in-law and

Oakland, Cal.-The Key System

correspondence plan on it's local
cars to avoid congestion in downtown
streets. Passengers are requested to
find seats or standing room quickly

isn't unfair.
''That is just as it should be.
"What do you think about it, Ele-
phants?'
The others tapped their ears and
waved their trunks, then one of them
said:
II agree with you. Now I do not
feel badly because you are the keepers
pet,
"The keeper is just as good to me,
only you and the keeper are more
friendly.
II am shy. don't make friends
easily. I don't care to make friends,
because I haven't got that sort Of a
nature.

when you take to the keeper and he
takes to you?
"There is no reason at all why you
shouldn't, and SO I am mighty glad
that you are, mighty glad"
The other Elephants all waved their
trunks in agreement.
'"The keeper" continued the one who
had been speaking for the others,
"says you have the kindest heart in
the world.
II think so, too. We all do. My
heart is kind enough, but I am not a
sociable elephant, I'm not.
"But it makes all the difference be-
cause the keeper in having you as q

''That makes all the difference.
"You and he are simply particularly

plant, shat we are good friends and

1t is also so nice to hear that none
of you are jealous of my friendship
with the keeper. but understand 1t so
well. for it makes my zoo life SO

And then he sent a zoolet to the
Zoolet Society which was society in
which different animals of the zoo con-
tributed verses about themselves.
They called them zoolets because
they made them up in the zoo and
were about their zoo life.
This was the Elephants zoolet:

FISH AND GAME.

The announcement that the New Britain Fish and Game association has reached 900 members will be astonishing 10 such sitizens who have been under the impression that in our day automobiIing, golf. or baseball constituted the pivots of sporting instincts. The fact that 900 persons are, sufficiently Interested in fish and game in this city clearly in- dicates that modern civilization has not eliminated the instincts that have been a part of mankind's make up since the day of long bygone past when thoughts of fish and game were prime essentials of existence,
 Opportunities for cultivating the pleasures of such outdoor activities remain in spite of their manifest curtailment since the days when our streams and fields were untouched by the influences of expanding clylti- zation. But there are sufficient op- portunities remaining to satisfy the needs of sportsmen and the Now Britain association ought to be due to enJoy a good season.

 A vagabond lover told his dear one that she looked good enough to cat and the heiress turned out to be his meal ticket even after they were wed.

 A poetIcal youth whose life had been a sad one wrote sonnets to the girls he loved and at last he found that his lines were cast in pleasant places.
 An enthusiastic swain promised his dear one that he'd give her the whole world after they were wed and he gave her an atlas when she reminded him of it. 4 lover took his sweetie to din- ner and theater and escorted her home in a taxi, but he was so bash full she found his, shy dollar when 1 the chauffeur asked him for the 1 price of the ride,
