young wren married couple hard at work carrying sticks and straws to a leg of the trousers. Mrs. Garner, a staunch bird-lover and a bit of a romantic as well, left the pants on the line, despite the protests of her husband, who wanted to keep them for himself. This certainly places Mr. Garner on a r with (1) a friend of ours back base who once removed and buried all his clothes at the suggestion of a skunk; (2) another friend who had his hip pockets picked off by a bulldog in broad daylight; (3) an uncle who put mayon- naise on his straw hat and fed it to a goat at a brewer's picnic; and (4) the same uncle, who once had a celluloid collar carried off by a hawk. A last word to Mr. Garner: don’t let it get you down. These days a man might as well lose his pants one way as another.

Ironically enough, the moment this theory took shape in our mind, evidence to prove it began accum. ulating in our files. Now we are in a position to offer our brief: Item: in Lyons, N.Y., a great dane watchdog belonging to Mrs. Emma Kitchen was stolen. Item: in Central America Mr. Marker P.

Galbarth adopted a fledgling sparrow. The baby bird saw an old rub- ber ball in the Galbarth home, and in. stantly approached it open-mouthed, expecting to be fed. Mr. Galbarth put some bread on the ball, and now the sparrow follows the ball confidingly around the house. This last fact clinches our case, prov- ing as it docs that one animal, from another animal's point of view, has the sonality of an old rubber ball. The fact that this is also true of our more pompous statesmen in no way weakens our point. AN HISTORIAN has brought to our attention a sitdown strike of a cen. tury ago in Mooresville, Ind. Shifts of women sat in a notorious saloon and knitted until the despairing proprietor closed up the place.
