tig Resented Invasion of Poacher l» »t ■®** t 0110 busn-veldt urllll . r who In not so keen on poachng hh be used to be. One afternoon /funded a little venison, so h c set ,IT with it gun but no license— and dis upon red. It wn« not until the following Sun|ny afternoon that u search party <ll*. w vered his legs protruding from ua ntliear hole, and extricated him, more jcud than alive. He hud wougded a atembok, and the inland had imide u dive (or the sliel ■er of the antbear hole. The hunter followed, and, with his head and shottljeis underground, jurt managed to | p-jp the animal. ' frantic Jerk on the buck's part, jowever, wedged the hunter tightly, j uni his struggles only shifted the on.-c red sand, so that he was trapped. Die most he could do was to twist illghtly, allowing a little light to pene;rille _wherein he was aide to see a lytlion colled up within a few feet of ils face. The python attacked the strange vis (tor. but the hunter kept It off by hrowlng eand in Its face, while Its cffiirts to coll Itself round him were foiled by the fact that he was tightly wedged In the opening. For two whole days and nights the mater and the python thus faced each other until help came In the nick of time. Pumpkin Staple Food of Early Colonists i On New Englund farms the pumpkin is a valuable article of food today as» it was 308 years ago. It Is easy to grow, easy to cook and easy to keep jn a dried form. One Colonial poet showed bls appreciating in ibis coup let: We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon; If It were not for pumpkins we should be undone. Although there were many ways in which the fruit was prepared, stewed pumpkin sauce and pumpkin bread were among the most popular, in making the bread, a half quantity ot I Indian meal was used and the loaf j was not particularly attractive in appearance. A traveler in New Hamp shire in 1704 wrote of pumpkin bread as an “awkward foqd.” Occasionally ! one still finds it In rural sections of Connecticut and Itliode Island. The Indian custom of cutting the rind from pumpkins, stringing the: pieces and drying them was followed by the white Colonists. Sandwiches in Dispute England is much wrought up over the question as to whether sandwiches really make people "stupid.” At a recent educational conference it was stated that, in one school, children who brought their own luncheon ate sandwiches “half an inch thick and filled with meat." “if the lueals of these children consist of this sort of thing,” was the comment, “it is no wonder that their wits are (lulled.” Workers who relish the bread and meat combination resent being called “dull," and the meat-lov-ing English say the fault in the diet, if any, must be in eating too much bread. Rattlers Don't Lay Eggs When anyone speak of rattlesnake , eggs, give him the laugh. Rattlesnakes do not lay eggs. Along | with copperheads, water moccasins anil water snakes, they bring forth their young alive. The young snakes are usually born late in summer, from ] July to September. Among the snakes whose young are hatched from eggs are the pine snake, king snake, bull snake, and blue racer. The eggs of these species are laid early in summer and the period of in-1 cubation varies with climatic condi i tions. Les Miserable* The work of a choir director is hard, but it is not wholly without humor. Recently, a man was telling of his experiences with'the boy choir of a cathedral in New York. “I was teaching them,” he said, “to chant thei Litany and flattered myself that we were getting along unusually well when I noticed the words they were chanting for the response. Every last one of them was saying, ‘Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable singers !' Surely It was true enough of most of them." 1 ' Dubious When the late czar of Russia was staying at Balmoral, lie and the late King Edward, then prince of W ales, went for a walk ou the moors. Coming home they met an elderly man in a cart and asked If he would give thap a lift. The prince, thinking that it would be of interest to the man to know whom he had driven, told him that this was the czar of Russia and that he was the prince of Wales. “Ou ay,” said the man, “and I'm the Prisident of America!” Binding Vow A .Tepthah vow is one which is to bo kept regardless of consequences, ami is commonly supposed to be derived from the Bible sfory of Jepthah, the leader of a band of brigands, who, before going Into battle against the Ammonites, vowed that if successful lie would sacrifice whatever was the first thing to cross the threshold of his own door when he returned triumphant. His daughter was the first one to advance to meet him. It is? recorded that he sacrificed her according to bis vo „-

Such are the names that help to brighten any Broad way—names that are gold in the night. The General Tire is one. Now, more than ever before, the confidence in General’s pol> c y absolute maintenance of quality is shown by the big swing to Generals everywhere . . . a confidence that has been earned through Generals policy of not tampering with quality. This is the reason you hear users everywhere speak of General in terms of almost unbelievable mileage, comfort and safety. In a brief period often years the name General Tire has taken first place in car-owner preference. Elberson s Service Station • .z_— > 01 ■ I
