New. read.Bis got a hunch every week or ' so that limy have goed poweip of oli solvation and they proceed to prove it .to the satisfaction, of the Observer and thehiFe'.ves. Hero is the list of those who v'll got music for finding the word l;.st week: ''Margaret Hoffman, Mrs. E. W. Hopkins, Donald McKay, Audrey Nash, Mr R. R.

How II Was Spoiled. The advertisemento from which the letters in the word "Freewater" were . emitted last week were as follows: . F. In Arcade and Star theatre ad. R. In Dr. Allen's ad. E. in the U. S. Department of La bor's ad. B. in the Pink Shop ad. W. In Wm.. Miller & Brother's ad. A. in the Nash Electric Co. ad. T. in the Wiilard Auto Electric Service Co. ad. - E. in Rube Zweifcl's ad. K-. in the Gates Half Solo Tire ad. Something of an Imputation. A well-known surgeon was perform ing au operation on a patient when a fire started at a warehouse across the road, illuminating the whole operating theater. Having finished, the surgeon turned to the nurse and said dryly : "I Bay, nurse, I notice the patient Is com ing to. 1 think you had better draw the blinds. I don't want him to think the operation hasn't been a success 1" Definition of Kindness. The teacher of the Intermediate room had been trying to teach her pupils the value of many virtues such as truthfulness, honesty, kind ness, etc. To test their knowledge she gave them an examination, asking for definitions for these virtues. One youngster defined kindness in this way: "Kindness Is being kind to every human creature from a ant on up." Peach Tree Crown In Pot. Recent Importations of the United States bureau of plant industry Include a pot-grown peach tree from Rev. George Campbell, a South China mis sionary. A treo only 15 Inches lull' ripened five good-sled edible cllug Rtone penches. The plant la said to come true to seed, and It Is predicted that fruit growers will develop a re markable new race of dwarf peaches. 1 Nature's Method of Storage. In lower animals and In savage races nature stores up food for time of fam ine by converting it Into fat. This pro vision of nature still operates, despite the lack of the necessity for It, among clvlllied peoples, and the result is cor pulence. By substituting fasts for the famines of old. the flesh can be brought to normal with no bud effects. f ' Putting the Clock Ahead. Dow times have changed.

"A person can net used to moet n- j thin ," oRserved a uce, (rlzr.lid ma . with two livid tears hulf an Inch apart on his fat-, from the right eyebrow clear across his nose to the let corner,; of his Jaw. He was in sailor uniform, and was standing In the street with J the crowd watching a doable-Jointed ii aerohut, who had Just wriggled from a jj strait-jacket, hanging head down three ! stories above the asnhiilj. "Hut it's .'! . playing with fire always," he added re flectively, "and some day you may for get. Hut the tire won't.". He stroked his scars with an apol ogetic Anger as ho coutlnued: "Re fore I enlisted I worked In a too. I didn't have to train 'em. No; mine was the heavy work, feedin 'em and dentil' out the cages. Trnlnln' 'em, you can niwuys'hnve a wlilp or a re volver handy, but when you're clean 'In' a cage you haven't anythln' but a shovel or a pitchfork ; and, doln' that kind of work, you sort of forget they're wild beasts, anyway. They seem more like cows or horses or any other civil ized animals, 1 was so big and husky I sometimes went in with mil bin' but my bare hands; but I was always tnk ln' a chance. I was pretty careful, though, when I went Into old Zeke's cage. Zeke wns a cross-grained old grizzly. When I didn't have my pitch fork, I ccncrnlly aimed to have a wrench or a piece of giS pipe handy. But one duy I forgot. 'Zeke somehow got the door open between him and two young grltzlles, and I had to get him back again. I shouldn't have gone in wltkout a club; but It wns about qulttlu' time at noon, and I was in a hurry. I Jumped Into the cage mad enough to scratch his eyes out with my bare hands. "Get out of here I" I yelled, wavlu' my arms in Ills face. "He only growled at me; but the other two bears, In a panic, bolted Into the other compartment. I decided quicker than a. flash to 'leave Zeke where he was and let the other bears have his den. I slammed the door situt between, and started toward the man hole through which I had entered. But old Zeke got up on his toes when he saw I hud shut him out of bis own quarters and away from hts play mntes; and, Inylii' Mb ears back and openln' Ids mouth until he gaped like a crocodile, he came at me all standin'. "I didn't have time lo reach the door. Lettln' out a yell for help, I stood my ground. Old Zeke came at me with paws up, Just like a clumsy old boxer. He wasn't so clumsy as he looked, though. I gave him a right and left In the ribs and dodged; but before I could get out of reach, his right paw caught me on the left shoulder and rlnned mv shirt' off to my waist I managed to get in another Jab, but it ! wns like hlltln' a sack of sand. It hurt j my list uore'u It did him. "If the cage had been larger, I might , have been able to keep out of the way j until help cmoe; for you can be sure I was yellln' bloody niurder, although j at the time I hardly realized what I , was doln'. But first, thing I knew he had me cornered. I hit him on the snout then, as hard as I could lilt ; but he swept my hands down with one great paw, nnd with the other he gnve me this little memento I enrry on my face. Tho next minute he bad those terrible claws In the middle of my back, and be was nuzzlin' the top of my head, trying to got his teeth into the buck of my neck. That might have been the end so fur as I was con cerned If a trainer nnd nn attendant hadn't come Just then to pry him off with Iron bars. I was like a squeezed leinon when they finally dragged me out, and for a long time I dlilu't care whctlior school kept or not. I'm all right' now, though. Think they'd let me In the navy, if I wasn't? I guess not." Youth's Companion. Bill the Aesthete. During the wannest hour of yestn (lay a traction engine drawing two "tiiillers" piled high, with barrels of stout and beer panted painfully along Fleet street. One of tho lubonrs eu gaged on mysterious uxi'nvutlons of the pavement pointed with liis shovel to the procelon nnd exclaimed : "Oh. my Lord, Bill, nln't that a beautiful sight?" Mi mate gazed aduih-lugly at the glorlon spectacle and replied, with a sympathetic sigh. "Not half!"
