The temperamental difference be tween a restrained and an emotional rnce occasionally brings about kindred effects through accident. A lady, wait ing for a belated train, witnessed a most affecting parting between an aged father and his son, both Italians. The old man seemed In a frenzy of woe. Re moaned, raved, lifted his clenched hands toward heaven and shook them despairingly. "Poor, poor souls!" she exclaimed, compassionately. "The young man go ing away to seek his fortune and the old man left behind. 1 suppose he fears they may never meet again.' A common tragedy, but It grips one's very heart." "Cheer up!" briskly advised her companion, who understood Italian. "The young chap Is only going to the next town to visit his married sister and the venerable old person Is wor ried heennse he loaned him his sea son ticket and wishes now he hadn't promised to do so. Lie says he knows the boy will lose It, but, anyway. If he does, he'll break every hone In his body when he gets home. That's all." - p l was here to see nis wne who nt the Edgar Lichty home. Mrs. J. R. Loy was hostess to the L. R. C. Thursday of last week, and proved herself a royal entertainer to the 17 ladies present.

M.LO'DONNELL Across from Farmers Etsae Bank, Independence. Colors Save the Eggs. We have heard a great deal about protective coloration ln nature, and when , we consider the advantages which accrue to protectively colored eggs we may wonder why some eggs have remained pure white through the ages, why others are of the most con spicuous greenish blue, and why still others stand out by their spotted or speckled patterns, says the American Forestry Magazine. White eggs are for the most part laid by hole-nesting species of birds like the owls and woodpeckers, and since the eggs are well hidden In their dark cavities It has not been necessary for them to develop protective coloration. The bright greenish blue eggs of most of the thrushes, for example, must ba hidden ln nests which are concealed In dense vegetation and the speckled eggs of the ground nesting sparrows depend for their safety upon the good hiding of the grass-woven nest.

Modem Casablanca. A fire guard In the Shenandoah na tional forest not so long ago found him self in a predicament similar to that of Casablanca, although his decision was not so silly. Discovering that there were three bears at the foot of the lookout tower ln which he was stationed without arms of any kind, be telephoned for permission to leave at the first chance to get a gun. The district ranger replied that the for ests were dry, that a fire might start anywhere at any time, and that he must stay where he was, bears or no bears ; and the guard stayed.
