A resident o f Boothbay, Me., was told by a neighbor that Ms son's cow was out in another pasture, and start ed to bring her In. H e found a cow loose and set out in chase. F or an hour or two he chased one o f the most obstinate and disgustyn^ animals ever born Into the cow breed." And at last he caught her and brought te r out to the road and was leading her triumphantly home, when he met a neighbor who asked him what he was doing with another neighbor’s cow. Ahd so It proved. For the o rigin ^ stray cow wss still In the wrong pas ture, but tied securely to a tree. The other cow had had a perfect right to it grazing ground. ’ Th e exasperated gentleman then set out again and tMs time found the right strayed cow and took her home.

The picture was token In a village Immediately behind the firing own cows in Ms son's field and eating line, and every once In a while the bunting of a shell would drowu out the voice up the sou’s cabbages.

A t times o f stress Uke the present, such dumb servants have proved them selves particularly useful, a good In stance In point being provided by the cnee o f a gentlem an.la the w est*o f England who recently lost his garden er through the man enlisting. H is mas ter was confronted by the problem o f his lawn, about which he had always been very particular, fo r the grass quickly threatened to make his once trim grounds look very much Uke a wilderness. Then he Mt upon a brilliant idea. W iring off the ground, be turned, in a dozen guinea pigs, who promptly proceeded to nibble away at the grass as evenly and neatly aa any mowing machine could have done, much to the master’s delight. Similarly, an East End tradesman lately found Mmself short-handed ow ing to the war, and after some thought, tM s man M t upon a soluti on o f the- problem. H e happened to possess s pet par rot, and tMs bird he placed in the out er part o f Ms shop and trained it to call “ Shop!” whenever anyone en tered by way o f the street door. The parrot very quickly learned its lesson, with the result that Its master was no longer obliged to spend M l Ms time on the lookout fo r customers, bat could attend to other matters, knowing he could count upon Ms new assistant to warn Mm o f anybody's ap proach. The intelligence o f dogs is known to everyone, but a dog as a g o lf cad die Is somewhat o f s novelty, you will adm it Nevertheless, the animal Is no Imaginary character, but a r e d cad die, who works on the links o f a cer tain widely known course. Besides carrying dubs, tMs dog proves him self very useful In the matter o f dis covering lost go lf balls, nosing about until be Is successful. But the war has made one strange spectacle possible in England. In' Sheffield an elephant may be seen drawing heavy loads along the streets. It Is claimed fo r tMs particular ani mal that he can empty a nine-ton wagon o f coal In tw o journeys. Camels have also been employed by the same firm, but as draft animals cannot be compared with the elephants.— London Answers. of the regimental chaplain. - Catherine Britton, a Washmgtou belle who recently was married to Prince Alfred xu Hohenlohe-Schilllng- furst, on attache of the Austro-Hun garian embassy. HE GOT A FLYING START j Kings W ho Reigned Briefly. Sixty-eight years is a long time to wear a crown. Many other monarch, have hardly had time to get comfort ably settled upon their thrones, be fore death or abdication overtook them. John I o f France has to hi 9 credit a reign o f only five days. For brevity that is hard to match. Napoleon was emperor the second time fo r 100 days, and then started fo r S t Helena. Louis X V III, whom he so rudely deposed in March, 1819, had oc cupied Ms throne less than one year. Francis n ruled but a year. Louis X tw o y e a g and Loula V III three yean. Russia has also witnessed some UghtMpg changes In the house o f Ro manoff. Katharine 1 was cxarlna but two years and Ivan V I fo r a year. P e ter H was czar o f all Russlas fo r only three-years. Venice Has Electrical Sara. According to a newspaper corre spondent who recently visited Venice, the Austrian airmen have made more than tM rty raids on that famous city. Th e observation station there is pro vided w ith sensitive electrical micro phones, which are said to detect the notee o f the motors on the Austrian planes the moment they leave Trieet, some sixty miles away. Electric si rens are Immediately sounded to warn everyone o f the approach o f hostile air craft, wMch cover the distance be tween the cities In sometMng Uke fo rty minutes.
