The main diversion was a chicken fry. After the guests had arrived they drew numbers and had to per- form the task the number called for. The ones who had to wring the chicken’s neck tried to exchange numbers but as they were unable to do so, and the hostess seeing their aversion to the shedding of blood, surprised them by presenting them prepared, ready for the frying; and as that lessened the work, all fell to doing their part. and a tempting meal was soon prepared and heartily enjoyed. All the members were present.—Colorado (Texas) Record. The Imagination Surpassed by Fact UNCHAUS and his modern imi- tators, playing with the imagination, have never projected any wonder that surpasses the tales of veritable voyagers who landed in New York and _ related experiences in the recent hurricane in the West Indies. Jamaica apparently got the brunt of the “blow.” The wind at Kingston registered 100 miles an hour. Mangoes were blown off the trees; bananas were picked by the gale and carried from plantations into town, but of course were “delivered” in a rather haphazard manner. en fish were blown out of the water in the bay. An old woman named ‘Badian Mary, who has sold nutmegs in the market at Kingston for over half a century, was blown over two sheds. the passenger id, landing headfirst into a small wooden vat filled with mokisses, and a sloop laden with fruit vas lifted from. the water by the hurricane ft venty feet and dropped down again n the other side of the shed The galley was blown off the deck of a sailing ship while the aged cook was inside Preparing the morning coffee, and appar- ently he did not notice what had happened. When a boat from the ship got close up under the lee of the derelict galley and the bos'n roared “Bill, ahoy.” several times through a megaphone. the cook opened the upper half of the door and shouted: “Coffee ready.” Strangely enough, the “oldest inhabitant” of Kingston was not interviewed by any of the voyagers. He might have had a more Wonderful story to tell. Sica ie 25 The Fate of the Unprepared Among the remarkable events of this war no fact stands out more startlingly than the tragic sacrifice of Russia’ sunequipped soldiers. The army has been victimized by in- trigue and treachery. Guns were sentto the front without ammunition and ammunition without guns. Supplies were provided that when unpacked proved to be rubbish. Left stranded by communications that broke down under slight pressure the brave Rus- sian troops hurled themselves again and again against foes perfectly prepared. From the very verge of victory they dog- gedly fell back fighting with stones and clubs and iron bars, resisting heroically but ineffectively. No thought can be more abhorrent to Americans than that of our boys ruthlessly slaughtered because of lack of equipment or support which it is the first business of us at home to supply. Our Government, never before so power- ful, is working prodigiously in the prepara- tion of armies and means of warfare. Throughout the nation there is a unity of purpose that is piling on the altar of liberty every personal ambition and corporate gain. Mines, factories, farms, shipyards, the counting houses and shops of every indus- try are laboring day and night to supply the sinews of war. The Bell System is co-operating to mo- bilize production, transportation and com- munication, and is using its every energy to speed up American defense.
