WOULD HAVE GAME REFUGE Writer Tells of Remarkable Poselblll- ! ties of the Gatun Lake Region for the Purpose. While there Is little likelihood of any species (of fauna) living within the jungle becoming extinct, it would require but little effort to make the Gatun Lake region a wonderful outdoor zoological garden that would 1 prove almost as interesting to visitors as the game th© govern-1 ment railroad in British East Africa While breakfasting on the houseboat a strange, uncouth sound came from the hills to the west, rising and falling in a torrent of guttural notes. It was the first greeting of the "black howler," the largest of the South American monkeys, whose uproarious conduct, whether in tribal conversation, in protestation against man or the weather, was a source of astonishment thereafter. My friend Fuertes, the bird artist and naturalist, whose mimicry of bird notes is quite equal to the fidelity of Ids brush, declares that the nois© of the “howler" is by far the most striking sound in the American tropics, being "a deep, throaty, bass roar, with something of the quality of grunting pigs or of the barking bellow of a bull alligator or an ostrich. The noise was as loud as the full-throated roaring of lions, and its marvelous carrying power was frequently attested when we heard it from the far side of some great Andean valley. It is a popular belief on the isthmus that the “black howler” is an infallible weather prophet, and especially so in predicting a shower. So far as we could discover, it was only when the clouds blackened overhead and the first preliminary drops

began to fall that this prognosticator considered it safe to commit himself in the forecast. —George Shiras 111, in the National Geographic Magazine, Cases of Longevity. Os the oldest living people at the present time is Captain Diamond, who has just completed his one hundred and nineteenth year. He is to be mentioned first on account of an extraordinary lissomeness. He directs a gynwastical institute in California. In Germany there exists a woman, widow of a clergyman, named Duckiwicki, in Posen, who has reached her one hundred and thirty-first year. But she is very stiff. The Russian subofficer Budnihow has celebrated his one hundred and thirty-third birthday anniversary. In 1812 he fought against Napoleon. A Russian in Tomsk is aged one hundred and forty-six years. He must be the oldest man alive. Franz Drachenberg, a Norwegian, now dead, attained the age of one hundred and fotty-six. An English farmer named Thomas Parr, who died in 1633, lived onb hundred and fifty-two years, and had lived under ten English rulers. Josef Surrington, who died in 179? in Bergen, was one hundred and sixty years old, and had two sons, the one son one hundred and three years old and the youngest nine years of age. An Englishman named Jenkins died in 1670, at the age of one hundred and sixty-nine, and when he had reached one hundred years was still a champion swimmer. At one time he had to appear in court to testify concerning something that had taken place one hundred and forty years before He left two sons, who reached the respective ages of one hundred and two and one hundred years. Thomas Carn, an Englishman, reached the age of two hundred and seven years. Methuselah, as we all know, is said to have ’inched the age of nine hundred and sixty-nine years!—Continental News. Marrying Off the “Broken Heroes.” A League for the Marrying of Broken Heroes has been formed in England, and its founder, a Bristol clergyman, is hunting for women who are prepared to take “broken heroes” to their hearts. There is a sharp division of opinion on this interesting human problem among women who load various “movements.” Sylvia Pankhurst says, “Marriages ought tc be made In heaven. I don’t think the league will serve any useful purpose.” Lady Limerick, on the other hand, finds the idea “splendid,” and believes that the “utter darkness of these lives can be dispelled only by a woman’s ksve.” The Marchioness of Townshend calls the plan “ridiculous” and “would not think much of a girl who joined the league.” Lady Byron, however, is in favor of it and thinks “it might be carried out in all classes of society.” We do not know yet what the “heroes” think.—Harper’s Bazar. Leech Trade Killed by War. The war in Europe has killed the business of x catching and selling leeches. France used to be the great market for these blood-sucking worms, but in recent years most of them have come from Hungary, Croatia, Dalmatia and Turkey. The greatest consumers were America and England. Now leeshes can no longer be shipped from these places, and England is getting le&ehes from India. At theisame time doctors are using more modern methods of drawing blood from inflamed parts of the body. The Preliminaries. “We hear a great deal about political preferment,” said the inquisitive person. "Oh, yes. The papers are full of it,” answered the practical politician. “Just what is meant by that 7 ” “It means a tremendous amount of hard work and the most astonishing mental gymnastics on the part of the person preferred,”

LIFE IS BRIGHT | AFTER 15 YEARS Mrs. Amanda Platt, of Muncie. Attributes Recent Relief to Tanlac. Muncie, Ind . Mar. »—Mrs. Amanda Platt, a well known Muncie woman, who lives at 808 South Elm street, after fifteen years' suffering, has found a relief from the severe pains caused by rheumatism. Mrs. Platt recently said, regarding her experiences with Tanlac, the Master Medicine: "I am so happy, for I know I have at last succeeded in getting rid of the terrible pain I had to endure for so long. Never during all .the time that 1 was sick could 1 sleep on my left side because of the pain when my body touched the side of the bed. It would be impossible for me to dei scribe my former suffering. "1 also had stomach trouble and was annoyed by my stomach filling with gao. My appe.tite, also, was poor. “Since taking Tanlac 1 feel like a woman made over again. The change in my condition is the most wonderful thing in my life. The rheumatism pains are gone, my appetite has returned. and I sleep soundly. Life, again, has become bright to me.” Not only for rheumatism and stomach trouble, as in Mrs. Platt's case, is Tanlac beneficial, but for liver and kidney troubles, nervousness, insomnia 'and the like, it is excellent, also. Tanlac is now sold exclusively in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store. —Advt. * o PUBLIC SALE OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS.
