Ruisell-Smith
On last Saturday evening about
9 o’clock a very anxious looking
gentleman came to the door of
the Methodist Parsonage and in-
formed the preacher that he was
wanted at the home of Mr R L
Smith When the request was
complied with it was found that
Mr Nolen Russell and Miss Wil-
ma Smith had entered into a very
solemn contract and had sent for
the preacher to pronounce the
final words which made them
husband and wife In a few mo-
ments the ceremony was per-
formed and the happy couple
took each other by the right
hand and solemnly avowed alleg-
iance for life They were mar-
ried in the presence of a few of
their many friends who wish for
them along happy and prosper-
ous life — H A Stroud-

FURNACE AS ICEBOX
The man who has still a private
stock was frankly glad that a fire is
no longer needed in the furnace for
it now serves as an icebox for the
precious bottles
“During the winter” he said “I
could have a good part of the ice-
box in the kitchen because the wife
used to keep things outside But
lately I haven’t had any place at
alL The furnace is an ideal place
the cellar being cold anyway It if
big enough too And none of my
friends will be able to discover the
stock”

marked the boss “that my will is

The church is a living organism

EVIDENTLY KNEW EACH OTHER
Th! £at and Dog Had Forgotten
They Were Supposed to Be
JSeadiy Enemies
Many have read and not a few
have seen examples of friendship
between cats and dogs where the
age-long animosity has been forgot-
ten thronglrlong days of comrade-
ship and “ranine and feline have
romped together without a thought
of the ancestral feud between their
houses- A passerby pn Sixth ave
nue the other’ day witnessed an ex-
ample of this sort -
A German police- dog came walk-
ing like a patrolman out of a grocery
shop Under the window in the
warm sun was lolling a black cat
stretching every limb to catch the
raw April sunshine The dog said
good morning and thereat appeared
to say the same There was a little
quiet play then the police dog
opened wide his jaws and seized the
cat’s head between them Not a
motion did she make though one
snap of those strong jaws would
have ended her existence 1
As calmly as an old lady might
survey a patrolman’s nightstick she
lay quietly before her friend and
seemed rather to enjoy hjs atten-
tions as a caress Then he released

“BETTER BABIES FOR JAPAN”
r
Government Recognizee Importance of
Movement Begun by Women of
the American Y W C A
Japanese women have been told
by their government not to carry
their babies on their backs This is
in an endeavor to raise the in-
creasingly short stature of the Japa-
nese people
“Sitting oh their feet from birth
in the shawl-carry on the back in-
vestigation has proved stunts the
growth” says Miss Ernestine L
Friedmann “Even the komoris
(little girl nursemaids) are no long-
er to carry their charges in the tra-
ditional manner' Nothing is said
about the injury to them”
In connection with the work of
the Y ’W C A in Japan Miss
Friedmann recently made a survey
of health and industrial conditions
“Congestion in factory towns in
Japan is so" great that beds never
get cold” she says “Each factory
girl is allowed one mat a floor space
6 feet by 3 feet In their dormi-
tories the same floor space is used
24 hours at a ftretch Matrons are
B&rn Burns
Tuesday night about 11 o’clock
the towns people were startled
by the cry of “Fire”
Upon investigation it proved to
be the John Dick barn There
were several tons of broom corn
and an air plane stored in the
barn all of which were complete
ly destroyed The origion is un-
known but was probably caused
by spontaneous combustion
The building and some of the
broom corn were partially cover-
ed by insurance
few More often some old woman
is hired to go about during the night
and keep the covers prilled over the
girls so that they won’t catch cold”
CRIPPLE WINS SUCCESS
- A London boy born without
hands has triumphed over his in-
firmity and become an artist of
great merit ' -
He has attained “considerable
dexterity in art”- according to the
higher educational subcommittee of
the London city council whd have
awarded him & scholarship to pro-
vide a general art training for three
years
“The Success of this boy is a -notable
one” the education commit-
tee were told “both regarded as a
triumph over physical disability and
as a tribute to the effectiveness of
the instruction given in the physi-
cally defective schools” "
IDENTIFICATION MARKS
An important adjunct to crime
detection is reported from Paris
This new plan supplements the Ber-
tilion system of measurements juid
fingerprints It has been found that -a
man can be traced not by finger-
prints alone but by marks on any
part of the body Any of the pores
of the skin may be employed This
is the discovery of Doctor Loeard
head of the French police school at
Lyons Criminals often use gloves
to foil detectives but the forearm or
the elbow may give a print equally
as valuable 'for identification
