One About Texas Wolves.
Colonel Homer D. Wade, famous
Texas ranchman, was in Washington
recently. A New England Congress-
man, who had never been farther west
than, Tidioute, Pa., asked him if there
were any wolves in Texas.
“Any wolves in Texas!”
Wade. “Well, I should say there are
wolves in Texas. Why, brother, it
was only last winter that I had the
most exciting wolf chase of my life. I
was riding my roan pony through a
sparsely settled section of the pan-
handle on my way to look at a bunch
of cattle I was thinking of buying.
Along about 2 o'clock in the morning
I discovered to my horror that I was
being followed by a
The noise they made was blood-curd-
ling. As soon as they got within pis-
tol shot I blazed away and put a bul-
let through the heart of the leader.
Man, how glad I was to see the rest
of the pack stop and devour him. I
spurred my pony, hoping to reach a
place of safety. But they still came cn
and I shot another, which they stop-
ped to eat. I kept this up until I had
shot seventeen of them and the last
one was pursuing me at close range
with his eye glistening in anticipation
of a nice, fat, hot breakfast, and—”
Wait a bit, wait a bit, old top,” in-
terrupted the New Englander, “gc-
cording to your reckoning that last
wolf must have had the other seven-
teen inside of him.” ?
“Come to think of it,” calmly re-
plied Wade, “I recall that he did wob-
ble just a trifle.”—National Republi-
can.

LIKE IDEA OF CAVE MAN |
idea Advanced That Women Desire the
Tiger in Husband, but Prefer
it Latent.
een.
Granted that, as history and litera-
ture have always implied, there is a
tiger latent in every male. The Amer-
lcan tiger has, you might say, taken
himself to the taxidermist and got him-
self beautifully mounted as a rug. The
American woman then sits on the rug,
in front of the fire, and digs her little
heels into the helpless fur. (There is
really nothing else to do with a rug.)
People always find charm in what
they have not, even if they would
choose, in preference, what they have.
The American woman wanted her rug
—and got it. But her imagination was
going, inevitably, to play about the
image of the traditional tiger before
he went to the taxidermist. She does
not really want a cave man—not yet,
at least; she is too comfortable as she
is. But she likes to think that her
man could be a cave man if he wanted
to. What she really wants is the true
tiger lying down in front of her to dig
her heels into, knowing all the time
that the tiger could bite if it chose.
Chivalry consists in not choosing to
bite—not in being unable to.
So you get various writers who cater
to the undistinguished millious, pre-
tending that the visit to the taxider-
mist was only a feint; that the eyes
will roll, and the claws unsheathe
themselves, and the jaws snap. The
feminine reader shivers with delight at
the animation of lier rug; she experi-
ences that perfect condition of eating
her cake and having it, too.— -Katherine
Fullerton Gerould in Harper's Maga-
zine.
MEAN TRICK EVEN FOR SATAN
Man's Realistic Dream Would Seem to
Constitute Almost Last Word
in Torture.
They were discussing dreams. “I
don’t believe in dreams,” Roberts an-
nounced.
“I don’t particularly believe in them
either,” Asbury agreed, “if you mean
by that that they foretell the future or
explain the past, but some of them
are certainly most terribly realistic.”
“Well, what is the worst dream you
ever had, anyway?’ Roberts asked.
Asbury thought the wmatter over a
moment.
“The worst one I can think of now
is a dream I had just a few nights
ago. I dreamed I was iu hell and—"
“Phat certainly was bad enough!”
Roberts interrupted.
“Yes, but wait; that’s just the start
of it! As I said, I dreamed I was
in hell. However, I was getting along
as well as could be expected, when the
fall of the year came and the ragweed
bloomed. My hay fever hit me with
full force and IT was nearly wild with
sneezing when along came the old devil
himself and took away my handker-

A Little Tree's Life.
I never see a little tree bursting
from the earth, peeping coenfidingly up
among the withered leaves without
wondering how long it will live and
what trials and triumphs it will have.
It will better and beautify the earth,
love the blue sky and the white clouds
passing by and ever join merrily in
the movement and the music of the ele-
mental dances with the winds. It will
welcome the flower-opening days of
spring, be a home for the birds and
enjoy the summer rain. And when
comes the golden peace of autumn days
I trust ft will be ready with ripened
fruit for the life to come. I never
fail to hope that if this tree is cut
down it may be used for a flagpole to
keep our glorious banner in the breeze,
or be built into a cottage where love
will abide; or if it must be burnt, that
it will blaze on the hearthstone in a
home where children play in the fire-
light on the floor.—Enos A. Mills.
Battled With Wooden Swords.
It is recorded of the ancient Aztecs
of Mexico that they went into battle
with wooden swords, that they rajght
not kill their enemies. The Astecs
were a fierce, warlike race. Their re-
ligion was the most bloodthirsty the
world has ever known. The temples
of their gods were scattered through-
put the land, and thousands of human
beings were sacrificed every year upon
their altars. The victims were most-
ly prisoners of war. Ru their battles
the Aztecs tried to kik as few of their
enemies as possible, that they might
have more to sacrifice.
April 22, 1519, Hernan Cortez land-
ed ut Vera Crus, overthrew the Aztec
kingdom and ¢»ok permanent posses
sion of the country for Spain. The
story of the cu. est is the foundation
of the novel ‘1: hie Fair God,” by Gen.
Lew Walluce.
New Engiend Cranes.
A New England writer thus refers
to fhe crane in 1532: “Of cranes
theye is a great store—they sometimes
eat our corne and doe pay for their
presumption well enough—a goodly
bird in a dishe and no commodity.”
Perhaps the fact that the crane
made a “goodly gishe” explains the
disappearance of the crane from the
Atlantic coast, where it now breeds
only in Florida and its retreat west-
ward beyond the Mississippi.
In Florida the sandhill crane is to
be seen in the great Kissimmee
prairies.
one of the tribal customs of the
crane, so to speak, is the ceremoni-
ous dancing at the period of courtship
when Indy and the gentleman
crane are seeking to reach a matri-
monial agreement.

TUBERCULOSIS DAYS
DECEMBER 3 AND 8
Observance in Churches and
Schools in Connection With
15th Christmas Seal Sale.
Harrisburg, Nov. 28.—Tuberculosis
Day will be observed in the churches
December 3 and in the schools Decem-
ber 8 as features of the Christmas
Seal sale. In this connection John S.
Fisher, Pennsylvania Chairman for
the Christmas Seal sale, said:
“All church and educational workers
are vitally interested in the physical,
as well as in the intellectual, moral
and spiritual well being of our people.
is, therefore, appropriate that
church and school put forth their best
efforts in conserving the health of our
citizens. Inasmuch as the schools and
Sunday schools deal with the welfare
of the young people, they furnish an
inviting field in the war against tuber-
culosis.
“The Christmas Seal has become a
vital factor in bringing better health
and longer life to the people of Penn-
sylvania. It is the means of prevent-
ing tuberculosis and of restoring to
health those who have fallen victims
to its ravages.
“We confidently put the case before
the pastors, Sunday school superin-
tendents and wolkers and teachers
in our public schools. We earnestly
solicit your help and ask you to em-
phasize on the days above designated
the dangers and treatment of tubercu-
losis to the end that health may be
improved and life prolonged. end par-
ticularly the part which the Christ-
mas Seal plavs in this great effort.”
PINCHOT INDORSES SEALS
Gifford Pinchot, Governor-elect of
Pennsylvania, indorses Christmas
Seals in the following words:
“Every person is in danger while
tuberculosis is permitted to take so
many victims among us. The declin-
ing death rate, however, shows that
the battle against the White Plague
is a winning fight. The main springs
of this fight are the widespread edu-
cational efforts to improve health
habits, the providing of nurses, clinics
and hospitals, health teaching in the
schools, and nutrition work for chil-
dren.
“In all of these efforts the Christmas
Seal has an important part, which has
increased in usefulness constantly
since the Seal first appeared, fifteen
years ago.
“The Christmas 3eal is a very small
thing. It costs only a penny. Every-
body can devote a few pennies to
Seals. Everybody, therefore, can help
to lessen the danger tc themselves
and to us all from tuberculosis.”
WOMEN INDORSE SEALS
Federation of Pennsylva-
at its annual convention
in Reading, adopted a resolution in-
dorsing the sale of Christmas Seals.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, The ficht to control and
prevent tuberculosis is one of the most
important and worthy activities in our
State, and
Whereas, The Christmas Seal sale
conducted by the Pennsylvania Tuber-
culosis Society and its affiliated local
tuberculosis committees and organiza-
tions throughout the State is the
means of financing this work, there:

AWARD HONOR TO CONFUCIUS !
Earliest Idea of the “Shadow Show”
Said to Have Been Recorded
500 Years B. C.
That the earliest idea of a movin:
picture was recorded in the time of
Confucius, the Chinese philosopher
who lived 500 years before Christ, is
the deduction drawn from study of
the question by Will Day, a well-
xnown figure in the English film world,
who has exhibited in London a collec-
tion of relics and machines tracing the
growth of the moving picture from the
first primitive idea to its present form,
says an exchange.
The “shadow shows” of Confucius
are the first of all known endeavors to
present animated pictures. The next
period of progressive achievement is
found in 1646, when Athanasius Kirch-
er published a book in Latin entitled
“Ars Magnalycus et Umbrae,” in which
a description and illustration are
given of a moving picture which the
writer had evolved with mirrors and a
tallow candle for illuminant,
Included in the collection is the
original disk which Eadweard Muy-
bridge used to settle the controversy
between two American millionaires on
the Alto Palto race course as to
whether the four feet of a trotting
horse were off the ground at the same
time.
STOLE MATERIAL FOR BAIT
Little
Thing Like Conventionality
Iiade No Sart of Appeal to
Enthusiastic Angler.
Fishermen who make their own
trout flies will go great lengths to
obtain materials for the lures.
“Once,” said the fly fisherman, “I
spotted a bit of chenille that I thought
could be twisted to good advantage
on a trout hook. Unfortunately, it was
fart of the fringe of a wrap worn by a
young woman I noticed on upper
Broadway. Although it seemed mighty
unlikely that I could get a piece of
the chenille, I followed her for a few
blocks. Then she turned into a movie
theater and I followed, taking a seat
directly behind her.
“As she seated herself the end of
her wrap slipped down between her
seat and the wooden back. With my
pocket knife I snipped off a couple of
pieces of the coveted material. I had
great success vith the fly that I made
from that chenille.”—New York Sun.
That Cure for Insomnia.
Blinkby sufl'ered from insomnia, and
his friend told him a sure cure.
“Tat a couple of bananas and drink
two or three glasses of milk before
going to bed,” said he, “and I'll war-
rant you'll be asleep within half an
hour.”
Blinkby did as his friend suggested
and went to sleep soon after his re-
tirement, but this is what he dreamed:
The friend came on the scene with
his head under his arm and asked if
Blinkby wanted to buy his feet. Blink-
by was negotiating with him, when
the dragon on which He was riding
slipped out of its skin and left him
in midair.
While he was considering how he
should get (down, a bull with two
heads peered over the edge of the wall
and said he would haul Blinkby up if
he would first climb up and rig a
windlass for him.
So, as Blinkby was sliding down the
mountainside, the conductor came in,
and Blinkby asked him when the train
would reach his station.
“We passed your station 200 years
ago,” the conductor said calmly, fold-
ing the train up and slipping it into
his waistcoal pocket.
At this juncture Blinkby awoke and
found he had been asleep almost ten
minutes.

Welsh Music Chiefly Vocal.
Wales is a land of singers. The
music of this small country has been
chiefly vocal.
During the medieval period the
Welsh bards exercised much influence.
Music was so united with poetry,
philosophy and the sciences that a
wide education was necessary to qual-
ify a bard for his high rank.
The Irish harp was introduced into
Wales by Prince Griffith, in the
Twelfth century. It became a sign
of distinction to carry a harp. Only
a freeman wag allowed to possess one,
and to be seen without it meant dis-
grace.
The national anthem of Wales is
called “The Men of Harlech.” In
the small town of Harlech, on the
Welsh coast, is a famous old castle
which was besieged for several years.
It finally surrendered to the Yorkist
troops in 1468. The song dates from
thar time.
Burke's Peerage.
“Burke’s Peerage” is the name usu-
ally applied to a publication entitled
“Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary
of the Peerage and Baronetage of the
United Kingdom.” It was first com.
piled in 1826 by John Burke, an Irish
man of letters. It contained the names
of all the British peers and baronets
in alphabetical order. The publication
is still issued annually and as an au-
thority on the gencalogy of leading
British families.
