THE QUICK SLOTH. DOGS AND MEN, OLD STUFF. THE CHINESE HI-JACKER. BY ARTHUR BRISBANE. * (Copyright, 1926) , What seems laziness, lack of atten- -tion, often means energy, waiting for something worth while. To that truth, as Lafontaine would say, two brief stories shall bear witne: ‘You know about the Michigan farm- er, who knew that two of his boys would come out all right, but wor- ried about the third boy. He would say to the boy’s mother, “I am wor- ried about Henry.” ‘It wes unneces- sary worry, for that absent-minded, boy, not interested in pigs or cows, was Henry Ford. His mind was on something else, Story number two: Giant sloths were brought from South America that Rockefeller scientists might study their strange psychology, and perhaps discover a “germ of lazi- ness,’ Sure cnough, a stop watch test showed that it .took the huge ‘sloth two minutes and fifteen seconds to turn around; But when the scien- tist came closer it took the same sloth less than half a second to bite his finger to ‘the bone. Your apparently worthless son may be waiting for work worthy of him. Mrs. Leslie Carter says, “I intend to live to 150.” She will not, but she might.

At least 7 fires were reported over the northern half of the stute and 16 of them were out of control, advices from Duluth said. Fourteen’ settlers in, the Cramer scetion were homeless and scores of other small buildings were destroyed in various districts in the fire zones. The most serious blazes today were in St. Louis and Lake counties, along the shores of Lake Superior. | Other districts reporting fires were Moose Hibbing, Bemidji and Deer which reached a velocity of 5 to 40 miles an hour yester- died down last night and this aided the fire fighters epnsidernbly. Heavy rainfall is necded,‘however, to end the danger. Communication Cut Off Brush afd forest fires in’ Pine county have severed Nickerson’ and adjacent points from communication by wire with the outside world. A mail report received here from ckerson this morning, dated Mon- day, said that fire fighters from Askov, Bruno, Kerrick, Holyoke, Fox- boro and Moose Luke were end@iv ing to check flames that were fa mile of the village.

Askov, Minn., May 18.—(®)—Fires which burned through four or five miles of second growth timber cast of Nickerson Monday, threatening the village with destruction, were smouldering but under control today. The fire burned within a quarter of a mile of the village of 75 in- babitants. Help was called from neighboring towns and the fire fighters worked until late Monday night to get the fires under control. CHANGE IN T.

Fires at Buck Lake, which were the most stubborn to fight, were under control today as a result of a change in the direction of the wind. Forest Ranger O. R. Levin is still awaiting a heavy rain which he con- tends would be a great assistance to the men in the woods battling small brush fires. The range has been without a steady rain for more than two weeks and the condition of ‘the wooded areas around Hibbing is ex- ceedingly dry. SHOWERS PREDICTED FOR FOREST FIRE AREA Duluth, May 18.—()--Only fifteen additional men had been sent to the ire lines from Duluth this morning as the wind, which has been blowing flames in gusts for days, was re- ported light and had apparently shifted a little, from northerly to north by northwest. The weather report for today c tained good news for the fire fight- ers: “Cloudy tonight; _ possibl showers; Wednesday partly cloudy.” Winds a Menace The forecast of fresh shifting winds, becoming westerly instead of northerly, was, however, fraught with menace. Duluth district’s six bad fires, three in Lake und three in St. Louis counties, had not reported additional damage nor called for aid at 10 a. m., it was said at the state forester’s office. The 15 men sent out to French river were. sent as a precaution, it was said at the district ranger's headquarters.
