Feign Death to Escape
Its Actual Visitation

Nature has provided the majority
Of animals with some means Of self.
preservation. The bold overcome the
enemy BY fighting 'tooth and claw
the timid escape by rapid fight. Some
creatures take shelter behind a plat.
ing of armor; others rely mainly upon
their protective coloration. Some in
ject deadly poisons; others emit nau'
seating fluids and even electric shocks.
But probably the most remarkable
of all methods of evading the enemy
Is that of shamming death; and one
need not necessarily travel beyond
the confines of ones own garden for
proof of the fact that some creatures
do sham death. for quite a number
of caterpillars, spiders, toads and
snakes are addicted to the habit. says
NJ. d. D. in the Times of India Illus
trated Weekly.
1t is we'll known fact that Ger
tain birds will pretend to be lame or
wounded in the wing In order TO draw
away intruders from the vicinity of
their eggs or young. The American
ground dove, the ruffled grouse, the
green plover and the wild duck are
among those that practice this art of
deception. Among birds that actually
sham death may be mentioned the
land rail and the water rail.

When Amateur Sleuth
Lost Interest in Case

Most men possess a huge contempt
for the detective ability of the police
and nurse confident belief that ii
1t were put up to them they would
solve any mystery In jig time.
On Long Island lives man who
not only believes that Sherlock
Holmes was slouch compared to
him, but who gets in some active
practice. If a crime Is committed in
his locality he makes a bee-line for
the police station and starts in to
"help" the department. The police
do not relish his interference, but
they've got to humor him because OF
his influence
But this man proved to be too good
a detective. One day he called at the
station to see if there was anything
doing and was told of a motor car
accident in which a woman, after
driving through a store window, had
backed up and driven away. The
Long Islander Immediately went to
work on the case He solved it, all
right, but he did not report his sue
cess to the station.
For he discovered that it was bis
wife who was the guilty culprft-and
that the police had known it all the
time when he went out to solve the
mystery.-New York Sun.

with $500 last year. Over 3,400
tickets were sold for the grand
stand and bleachers. Thursday was
the big day with over 5000 people

I'll Club Exhibits Increase
There were a total of 470 All
members exhibiting this year. which
is an increase of II over the 1888
figure, even though the enrolment

''honor club entertainment each
year.
The percent of completion for
the girls this year was 24S, which is
$50 above their last years record.
There was an increase of $3.50 in
the number of boys taking club
work this year. This increase comes
in part from the new clubs started
at Triadelphia, Reinersville, and
Hackney. These clubs are led by
Kenneth Ogg, Ethan Hall and Ivan
Norris
There were FIVE new girls clubs
started this year, Mrs. Bertha Tor
bert leading the one at Triadelphia;
Della Spencer at Neelyville; Eva
Clements, Chaneyville; Mrs. Olney
and Mrs. Diest. Marietta road, and

started were completed this year as
compared to 80.S% last year

looked after the lighting for the

ing the evening performance equal
ly as good as the afternoon one.
