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.

Various Reasons for

Look here! 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

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."

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.
