He licks his chops and begins. For of

tell ahout her citizens that is the fa

of .lime. Ted Stafford and Ids mother
lived together on their little farm do
ing a very prosperous egg husiness,
the nucleus of the SlalTord poultry
farm. When Ted graduated from Har
vard (wo years previous he was en
tirely salislied to seltle down as n
f firmer.
This .tune afternoon, however, Ted
was not fanning, .lust afler dinner

"Aw, cut It out, rim . Say, tun, do
you like this lie?"
Of course she did. And If ma did,
then liulli surely would.
Just now lie was settliuj out for the

Outside of this, the use of the tele

Due-third of the 'S: presidents of the
I'm'ted Siaies wen- inaugurated on
Monday and only three on Friday, one
f whom, Lincoln, was assassinated,
Hid Fierce failed of re-election.
Friday has always seeninl to he a
-lurk, drear and lirilit'-ky day for pres.

on Friday.
Leap year seems to have heen mad.
I'n-sideniial offspring of leap years

Fierce, who rained neither fame nor
n second tcria, and Johnson, the onlv
president Impeached. As a season
for presidents to be horn in. late

No president over was horn In May

being J. Q. Adams, born In July, and
Benjamin Harrison. With one excep-
lion, aside from the two already men

been restricted to tho period between

Elephants One Man's Hobby.
The late "Uncle John" Brnshear of

should have a hobby; and Matthew C.

tion which trailed the flamingo into
the marshes and there to-k motion

mated that since 1!H1 the number of
the birds on the Island ha- been re
duced from 20.000 to nboui 7.000 by
the depredations of sponge fishermen,
who killed them for food.

"What was the matter with it?" the

WELL EQUIPPEDFOR DEFENSE
British Adopt Defensive Measures for
Big Aircraft That Have Been
Considered Easy Prey,
The helplessness of dirigibles In the
face of airplane attacks may lie con
sidered a mutter of the remote past.
Tt seems that dirigibles of llie near
future will carry fast single seater
fighting airplanes along with them
for the purpose of defending them
selves against airplane attacks.
Tiie liritish, who appear to have
taken the lead In dirigible construc
tion nnd operation away from the
Germans, have been carrying on ex
tensive experiments w-th airplanes
carried by dirigibles. The giant air
ship K-.'M the dirigible which crossed
the Atlantic last summer carries an
nlrplane suspended below it. Tiie nir
plnne can be reached by passing
through a trapdoor and down a swing
ing ladder. At the opportune moment
the airplane, with motor going at
proper speed. Is released from the
dirigible, nnd after a very slight drop
goes forth on Its own flight.
The disadvantage, of course, Is that
once the piano is launched It Is not
possible for It to return to the airship,
so that the latter will be ns much nt
the mercy of a second attnek from
hostile planes1 ns under old conditions.

Why Birds Never Fall.
Birds cannot open the foot w hen the j
leg Is bent; that Is the reason they do
not full off their perches when asleep.
If you watch a hen walking you will

It touches the ground.
