Wounded — and left - in no. man's land, Haley, a Canadian soldler, was slowly from loss of blood when he was picked up by Private Thomas G. Jones, an American, safety, Jones disappeared. Back in the lines again, Haley was captured by the Germans and lost all trace of his rescuer. On May 20, 1921, Haley arrived at the home of lLis sweetheart in>Canada. His wedding was to occur at 8 o'clock and the guests were assembled. Then Private Jones reappeared. He had deserted the army at Fort Slocum, N. Y., because, he sald, they were going to send him back to Germany. He was suffering from mustard gas burns and had a wife and two children dependent upon him. . Haley acted quickly. Telling Jones «to return to his wife and keep qulet, he informed his fiancee of his intention, She declined to wait while he served the term Jones would have to s])«:‘mlI in prison.

Following the frost line.down from Canada and the Maine mountains, the starlings aye beginning' to return and droves: of them.may be' seen . flying about the suburbs, says the New York Suyn. - From. their posts in-the trees and along the - telephone wires they whistle to' their fellows and hurl de- fiance to thé English’sparrow. The starlings, introduced into this country several years ago from north- ern Europe, have proven popular birds, They are industrious bug catchers and are sald to be the only bird that will pick a fight- with the sparrow. The latter, learning through bitter experience, give their dark- colored rivals a wide berth. The starling, being a cold weather bird, generally departs for the: North Jate in the spring. With the first cold snap they are back for another sea- son's frolic in New York's snows. “Christmas Past.” g‘l‘ WAS indeed a “gracious” time, and as we rend “of the revels and ceremonies d and find foolish beliefs of . Christmas Past, we might re- gret what we have lost in this tamer and less picturesque age, if we did not know that never before in history was Christmas kept so truly and heartily in the spirit of the day as it is now. We havke dropped a good many rude and ‘some pretty customs, but we have gained a broaden- ing spirit of almost universal charity, a feeling of real broth- erhood, that it is held in check a good deal during the vest of the year.—-Charles Dudley War- ner.

The habit of laying eges s so noar- | 1y universal among fishes that prob- g ably most people will be surprised, { says Science Siftings, to learn that ) | ceftain ' small specles actually bear thelr young alive. Among these is the large fawily of killifishes, or Cyprino- dontidae. In such specles the young are born In a comparatively advanced stage of development. When born | they closely resemble the aduit fish, All of them are very tenacious of life. That the bearing of the young alive by certain fish is not significant of a higher state of evolution, as the lay- man might naturally suppose, Is proved by the fact that it occurs In many species of the sharks and their cousins the rays, though these are i among tle earliest, 1. e, the most an- clent fishes that we know. This habit of procreation has Leen developed in order to give the young fry a better chance of suryival than they might otherwise have—it is literally a case of “fewer babies but better ones.” The most curious. of all these fishes is the genus Anableps which lives in the gtreams of the American tropics. This s sometimes called the four-eved fish, for the reason that its large promi- nent eyes, which actually resemble marbles on the top of the head, are divided horizontally into two parts, the lower half being fitted for water vision and the upper half for air vision. Some Compensas An official of a large corporation, which had made a rather. poor earn- ings raport, commented with satisfac- tion on the fact that competing cow- panies had had considerably larger deficits. “We can derive some consolation i from thig,” he said, and went on: | “Jt reminds me of the story of the i man who was traveling through the West Virginia mountains and, ap- proaching .4 poor cottage, saw three | boys, two of whom were sobbing loud- ly .while the smallest seemed not to have a care in the world. At the door of the cottage, the father of the boys stood, -gun in hand, and the stranger the two older boys. «*\Wagl, stranger, said the wmoun- taineer, ‘it was this way: Today is the birthday of my youngest kid. I didn’t have any money to buy him a birthday present 8o I licked his two brothers. "—Wall Street Journal. ( J)_Bemidji____-2 ‘How can we do it?
