Knockout Ended Duel Between Rival Harea An English naturalist describes a duel which he witnessed In the moon light between two hares, the canst ot their dissension being a third, which was a female that went on nib bUng grass during the encounter with out paying the least attention to the contest The battlers were facing each other In a real fighting attitude, their iforepawa held In front looking Ilka human fists. Standing on their haunch es these two fighters went all out, xney ooxea in one style, their little "&st" darting In and out like flashes. Some blows were . cleverly parried, others went well home, and as they fought footwork was not absent, for they circled round, but always faced each other. One lost his balance and sprang lightly aside, to be Instantly followed up, and the punching was re newed. Apart from the soft noise of the blows going home there was no sound. The end came quickly. It was almost a knockout, but I am afraid our rules would have put it down as a fouL One hare slipped down, land ed on all four feet, and quick as light ning his opponent turned and gave hlm a kick that landed him many 'yards away.

Whereas, in 1870, peo ple over sixty composed 8.0 per cent of the total population, they now com pose 7.5 per cent. Dr. Ira S. Wile, an expert In the Intensive study of the figures of longevity, says so. People not only live longer, but they act younger, let us tell you. They have their teeth .longer, too; consequently, they can eat the kind of food that keeps them going. When one Is re duced to spoon rlttles, one can scarce ly survive so many years; and, per haps, some might testify that It lent worth It. After flumlng youth, there Is some thing else left to continue on earth for the discoveries of science and the ever-cheering promise that our po litical party will lick the other one at the next election. The hope of vic tory keeps people alive and the In terestlngnews in the newspapers. When people bad nothing to read but Fox' Book of Martyrs and their almanacs they grew tired; they drowsed, half-baked before their enor mous fireplaces, went to bed early and died of ennui Without a best seller to read and no movie to go to, they quite naturally dried up and Withered away. They contracted a misery In their chests and didn't know enough to quit eating vinegar pie. Now, 7.5 per cent of them live be yond sixty, and In a few years 13 per cent of them will. St. Louis Globe Democrat r Indian Tribe) Has Firm Belief in Werleopard The Naga tribe of India are firm believers In werleopards and wer tigers. That Is wild animals animated by a human spirit. According to be lief, the man stays in his own home In a state of lethargy or sleep while the animal Into whom his soul has entered for the time remains In the jungle and bunts or Is hunted. In juries done to the leopard or tiger appear on the body of the man and If the animal is killed, the man dies. He jumps about In excitement when his alter ego Is being pursued and causes such disturbances in the home that his relatives commonly gUe blra ginger. This Increases his strength and enables the hunted animal to out distance his pursuers, When the man becomes his normal self he remembers his experiences, and an Investigator vouches for a case where a man described the where abouts of the remains of a kill he had made, as a leopard, which was duly found there. Werleopards and wertlgers are not proud of their attributes but regard themselves, and are regarded by oth ers,, as victims of a condition which is not their fault M.ay "Word Blind" It has been figured out that one child In 2,000 In England Is "word blind." They are unable to learn to read and spell, and this was originally thought to be due to feeble-minded-nets, but now It is suggested that the causa may be traced to defective de velopment In the temporal lobe of the brain. It Is said that the destruction of one brain hemisphere may bring about the loss of associative function, but a record would be left on the- cells of the Inactive side which would form a mirrored pattern. That may explain why some children cannot tell the dif ference between V' nd "q" and "d" and "b" and reversible words like "was" and "saw." baches lose During the remainder of the Month we will close out present stock of Ladies' Hose . . $2.00 Hose, now 1.50 . - 1.50 Hose, now 1.25 1.05 Hose now .85 On 'Our -- Men's Jersies 1-3 off I The best vegetables and fruits in season, Continues to be our specialty Always fresh and well selected.

Athena, Oregon Black Cats and Evil Linked in All Ages That verdict rendered against a Lynn (Mass.) woman charged, among other things, with having undertaken by her formulas "to still crying babies and fighting cats with equal ease," calls np a chapter In the lore of pop ular beliefs to which every, age con tributes new material. And for sheer Interest It Is the pugilistic felines, not the lachrymose Infants, which take the cake. That black cats portend evil Is a delusion that goes back to the most ancient times; so, white or black, they have everywhere been the material for all sorts of superstitions. In the Or ient cats have knowledge of the fu ture ascribed to them, along with a sensitiveness which can penetrate in to things dark for the eye of man. When the cat tears at cushions or car pets it is believed to be .raising the wind. There is sure to he changing weather if It sneer.es, and a frost may be looked for when the animal sits with Its back to the Are. , President Pays for Food If food is bought by the President's wife simply for family supper for herself and .her husband the cost of It Is no concern of the Unit States of America and must be met by the President In his capacity as .iead of a private household. The President, says World's Work, out of his own resources feeds himself and bis fami ly and seme twenty servants at all their private meals. If, however, the food Is bought for an official entertainment, such as one of the four Inescapable annual dinners, the cost Is met through a voucher conveyed to the disbursing officer of the public moneys appro priated for "traveling expenses." Old Time Legal Data Lady day was originally the name for all the days In the church calen dar marking any event In the Virgin Mary's life, but now restricted to the feast of the annunciation, held on the twenty-fifth of March each year. Lady day was in medieval and later times the beginning of the legal year In England. In 1752 this was altered to the first of January, but the twenty-fifth of March remains one of the quarter days; though In some parts old Lady day, on the sixth of April, Is still the date for rent paying. Mow to Cot Into Print When we tell .somebody that If we had sufficient money we'd stop writing, the invariable comment is, "Ob, you might stop for a little while, but you'd be at it again soon." , Maybe so, but maybe we couldn't get anything print ed. Well, if we had to get our name in print again, If the urge were too strong, we know what we'd do. We'd write one of those Letters to the Ed itorof any paper at all. The letter would begin, "I wish to express my appreciation of your edltorla!."F. P. A- in New York World.
