‘ 2 IEE ee tons HE WAS AN’ INNOCENT s; ———— Walter Drew Hote! Tabi. Plan te Ald Him in Satisfying His Boss. In time of war it is easy to suspect every stranger who has the aspect of a foreigner of being a spy. A large part of the work of the intelligence departments consists in running down false scents. Sir Basil Thomson, late director of the special branch at Scot- land Yard, tells in his book, “Queer People,” some amusing stories to i- lustrate that truth. On one occasion a staid couple came down to denounce a waiter in one of | the large hotels and brought docu- mentury evidence with them It was a@ menu with a rough sketch plan in pencil made on the back, They be Meved It to be a plan of Kensington Gardens with the palace buildings roughly delineated by an ‘oblong figure. They had seen the waiter in the act of drawing the plan at an unoccupied table, I sent for him and found before me a spruce little Swiss with his hair cut so that it looked like a brush. Much astonished, he gave me a frank ac- count of all his movements, and then I produced the plan. He gazed at it & moment and tien burst out laugh- ing. “So this is where my plan went! Yes, monsieur, I made it, and then I lost it. You see, I am new to the hotel, and in order to satisfy the head waiter I made for myself privately a plan of the tables, and marked a cross against those I had to look after.”—Youth’s Companion.

His monumental work, entitled the “Theatrum Orbis ‘Terrarum,” was first Published at Antwerp in 1570, and was revised and reissued five times during the author’s lifetime. It was a folio volume containing nearly 100 maps representing the different countries and continents as they were then known. Although this atlas was a momentous achievement, a monument of erudition and industry; a bright pocoliey of today could draw maps ym menmiory with a better approxi- mation to correctness. Even England and Scotland appear In this pioneer volume with amazing distortions of coastline and relative area, and many other maps in the volume beat only a slight resemblance to those of today. The name of “atlas,” derived from that of the Greek god condemned to You Get the World News 8 hours sooner if you read THE LEWISTON TRIBUNE on sale at 11:30 a. m. daily Kendall’s Confectionery H Thanksgiving time is here and you are no doubt thinking of good things to eat.

With One Possible Exception. Little Barbara, aged four, was get- ting undressed for bed when her fa- ther entered the room. It was the first time she had seen him in eve- ning clothes immaculate from crown to shoe-tips and the child was strong- ly impressed by his appearance. “Daddy, you are the very prettiest man I ever saw,” she confided, snug- giing in his arms for a good-night kiss. “I think you are the prettiest man there is.” “Babs, you're a _ fiatterer!” he laughed by no means displeased by her appraisal. “Surely not the hand- somest man in the world?” “Well, daddy,” she replied, as one desires to be just above all else. “Of course, I haven’t seen God yet.”—Bos- ton Transcript. Trees Muet Eat. * Do you know how trees grow by forming new layers of wood directly under the bark? The roots are the supports of the tree, says the School Book of Forestry. They also supply the tree with food. Through delicate hairs on the root, they absorb soil moisture and plant food from the earth, and pass them along to the tree. The body of ‘the tree acts as a passage way through which the food and drink are conveyed to the top or crown. The crown is the place where the food is digested and the regen- eration of trees effected. DO YOU KNOW? A sixteen-inch naval gun costs $65,- 000. Stammering is practically unknown among all uncivilized peoples. Foot troubles cause 80 per cent of ‘the rejections of army applications. Thunder storms, for inexplainable reasons, cannot cross large rivers. The world’s annual yleld of raw wool "is estimated at about 3,000,000,- 000 pounds.
