Established in 1891 " REVENGE TAKEN BY ANIMALS Story on Record of Huge Mastiff That Killed Thoughtless Groom at First Opportunity. Cartful observers have put on ree4 ord some very extraordinary instances of dogs and other animals which have remembered injuries put upon them, and have eventually retaliated, says London Answers. There is a terrible story on record of a dog, a huge mastiff, kept as a watchdog by a Staffordshire gentle- ! man. The great brute was kept \? chained in the stable yard, and during , the very hot weather one of the ; OTrtnmc nntirin<r the creature panting with heat, threw a bucket of cold wa- j ter over him. A week later the dog was loose , when the same man entered the yard. I He sprang upon him and caugkt him by the throat and killed him. j - A touching little episode happened a few years ago in a Worcester vil- I ; lage. A boy was the proud owner of , , * a very handsome pair of fox terriers, j named Mick and Jerry. Jerry went off one day into a wood near by and tackled a badger, which killed him. Raymond, his master, went out to look 7 for him, but could not find him. But two days after Mick was found mourning over the dead body of his com-! panion. He was brought back. One day he did not return. His master searched and found him laying dead, his teeth ^ in the throat of the badger, which was also killed. An amusing incident was that of an Indian elephant whose revenge on a : new mahout whom he took a dislike j to was rather funny. He picked him , up and deposited him in the branches j of a thorn tree. NO NEED FOR FURTHER TALK . * \ . ' * ' ??? - Argument Had Convinced Man That Arctic Expedition Was Just the Place for Him. ? A middle-age# man, with what appeared to be a load on his mind, visited the arctic steamer just before it started on the expedition, and seemed greatly interested in what he saw. j "Say," he said to the officer on deck, *Td like to go with you on this ex' pedition of yours." "It's awfully cold up there," remarked the officer, discouragingly. "I don't care for that." "You have very little to eat, and you might starve to death." "That wouldn't be pleasant," ob^ served the visitor. "I should say not," returned the officer. "And you might be eaten by I ' your comrades." f - "And then," continued the officer, I "you wouldn't see your wife for three , years, and possibly longer. You know ; you can't take her with you." "Oh!" returned the would-be explorer, after a long pause, "then you * can put my name down on your books. Your last argument captures me." *** .1 < France Seeks Mauritius. There is a movement in France to ask Great Britain for the return of Mauritius, the Beloved Isle of France, which was lost in 1810. It is contend" ed that, in spite of being under British rule for over a hundred years, the island is still essentially French, and that the people desire union with their mother country. Great Britain has no particular reason for keeping the island, says the * Newcastle Chronicle. It has no strategic or economic importance, nor has it any sentimental associations, so far as Great Britain is concerned. For the French, on the other hand, it is the place to which many of their nobles emigrated, and is the island which Bernardin St Pierre immortalized in his idyl, "Paul and Virginia." The islanders gave proof of their feeling for France by sending many <rf their sons to fight in the French army. % ' Labor and Christenings. W. Wallace Alexander, associated with the Elkins estate and a leading light in the Orpheus club, at a campfire gathering was humorously describing his troubles at a Pennsylvania coal mine which he was seeking to put on a paying basis. "The miners were getting out coal two days a week?the other five days were devoted to christenings. For every christening the whole neighborhood took a day to prepare, a day to celebrate and a day to recover.

V A SAFE STOC OLD KING SOLOMON WAS A WISE OLD BIRD Knew How to 8ave His Shekels By Putting Them Into Safest Investments Bankers Could Find. Old King Solomon was a wise bird. He distributed a lot of mighty good advice. But he is dead. You are alive. Yo.u will have to make your own decisions and determine your own course of action and your own future. It will not do you a bit of good to try to communicate with Sol and have him solve your problems for you. If you got his ear, you^ probably would not take his advice. You will have to acquire your wisdom as Sol acquired his, by gaining a broad view-point and taking advant age or your own experience ana mat of others. Solomon was a mason before he was a king and a miner as well, so his viewpoint probably would hot be much different from that of wise workers of the present day. You may be sure that the high cost of living was a problem in Solomon's day as well as in 1919 and that the purchasing power of a shekel, minted from the gold of Ophir, fluctuated just as deee the dollar minted at Philadelphia. But Solomon knew that thrift and saving, the stimulation of production and the elimination of waste would solve those problems just as the wise working man knows it today. He laid up a lot of coin through safe and conservative investment just as wise men and women have put money for the future in Liberty Bonds, Treasury Savings Certificates and War Savings Stamps. Also there is no record that anyone ever took any of that coin away from Old Sol by inducing him to speculate in wild eat stocks. He left one bit of advice, the wisdom of which the years have not changed. He said: "A good man leaveth an inhert&nce to his childsea's children." Tou can follow that advise Dy steady consistent saving and investment In War Saving Stamps 'and Treasury Savings Certificates and in Liberty Bonds at prM?&t prices. These seourities bought now will be an inheritance for your children's children. Sol had to get wise. Tou oaa get wise Just as he did. If yon fail to save you will repent through many years.

Keep on Baring and investing in War Savings Stamps and j Thrift Stamps. Attend the meet- j ing of your society and learn the habit of happy thrift. " MAXTOXE?The guaranteed tonic for chills, fever and malaria. 25c and 50c bottle. ;k for all COLLEGE PRESIDENT OUTLINES REMEDY ? Tells How High Cost of Living Pfotv lems May Be Solved by Every Man and Woman. President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, in A recent discussion of the high living costs said: "Punishing profiteers is a good thing, but it won't reduce the cost of living. If we had all their hoarded goods it would do little good. "Only the operation of inexorable economic laws can bring ux back to tolerable condition*. The remedy ia to save, to practice public economy and private thrift. We must save and invest in productive industry. Boprowing for non-productive reasons means bankruptcy.*' In the opinion of the best economist in the United States the peoples' greatest weapon against high prices is the government's Thrift campaign. Every family should have a budget, just as every successful business has a budget The first thing on that budget should be the amount to be saved from the weekly or. monthly income?not the amount to be spent. Make what you save govern the amount you spend, not what you spend govern the amount you save. War Savings Stamps bring 4 per cent interest, compounded every three months. Hit high prices below the belt by investing in United States securities. The dollar you save today may be worth twiee as mush five years from now.

Last year and this, an agency for teaching folks this gospel bright has strenuously impressed on me the way to duck the waster-bright; "A dollar saved?the interest gained"?thin is the lesson sound and true, which keeps the wayward dollar chained and makes the 4 per cent accrue.
