The weather man has taken it upon himself to provide public playgrounds for the small boys. He has shown himself a mighty good friend by coating many of the ponds about the city with good solid ice.

Four persons were seriously injured, one perhaps fatally, and thirteen more were slightly hurt at 6:30 o’clock Friday night when a northbound local freight on the Big Four railroad struck a wagon in which sixteen students of Manchester college were riding, at the Main street crossing that town. The students were enroute to Urbana, seven miles south, tq play basket ball and were making the trip in a large covered wagon. Views of the track were obstructed by the station and the engine was not seen until the wagon was in its path. The injured men atempted to leap to safety, but were caught by the train, while those who remained in the wagon escaped with minor injuries. "Thousands of carrier pigeons are being used as bearers of disp'atches for the armies of Europe,” says the Deember Popular Mechanics Magazine, n an illustrated article. ‘‘ln Germany oine 8,000 of these aerial messengers have been trained for military service, while French statistics show that the lumber in that country approaches 15,000: Some are also in service a:: military photographers. A small, ight camera is strapped to the breast if a pigeon. As the bird flies the camera operates, making numerous exposires which record details of the territory beneath. The use of the birds is most common, however, as a means of communication between fortifications under siege, or to and from spies in hostile territory. Many ingenious methods have been devised for per’ecting this form of transmitting advices, such as stamping the messages n cipher on the under feathers of the wings. During the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, when Paris was besieged, the pigeon post assumed an important place. A system was developed for reducing messages by means of photography, to mlscroscopic size and transferring them to thin strips of collodion. Approximately 16,600 words could be put on a film no larger than a couple of postage damps Eighteen or twenty of these pellicles, containing words enough to fill three or four large books, were wound tightly and inserted in a quill attached to a tail feather of a pigeon.” WILL NOT PREVENT HANGING.

The kind uv man a girl admires is one who speaks straight out from the shculdor instead of hinting and beating around the bush and trying to find out what his answer is going to be before he asks the question. A straight from the shoulder question, usually gets the right kind of a straight from the shoulder answer. Any other kind it not worth having.
