Before Leaving, Considerate

Clay Township Man Se cures Affidavit and Goes Home to Pay a Fine. Until yesterday no Instance was known in local police circles where the defendant in the case acted as deputy prosecutor andserved an affidavit against himself.' It 'remained for John Franklin, farmer residing near Greensfork, t establish a precedent in this particular, although prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd is responsi ble for it f yesterday afternoon Mr. Franklin! came to his city in his automobile. He was sj&en by Mr. Ladd and during the course of the conversation the prosecutor asked Franklin if it were true thaj he (Franklin) w!s intoxicated at Grisensfork, last week.: Franklin finally admitted that he "had a few on board," land when asked if, he did not think htf: should be fined for such con duct, Frinkiin couldn't see . it that way at first.'but after much persuasion o.i the partijof Mr. Ladd the farmer was forced to; admit that "he supposed he ought" V Helps Out Prosecutor. "Well, iow, I'll tell you what I'll do." said Mr. Ladd. "It will be a great inconvenience for me to go to Greensfork to fil&an affidavit against you. so get in yotir, automobile and take me up to my office and I'll write out one for you to take-home, Do you catch my drift?" FratfkTIn said he was on," and following a ride about the city, Mr. Ladd, wondering If he were dreaming or merely in a trance, was driven to his office, where he prepared the affidavit and gave Franklin final instructions as to the methods to be pursued in arresting himself. Today Mr. Ladd received word that the fine had been paid to the Greensfork 'squire and that his bank account had been increased to the extent of five dollars. "It is really a shame to take the money," said the prosecutor, wearing the smile that wont come off, "but people oughn't to get drunk its bad business." And those who stood near are confident they saw Mr. Ladd cross his fingers and wink his left eye. WILD GEESE. They Never Feed Without Throwing Out Scsuts or Ssntries. ' Some of tlit luuusun sayings concern ins birds art stupidly wrong. ."You stupid goose"' ia an expression constantly lieard. yet the goose, whether wild or tauit-. is most sagacious. Wild geese, for lustaucc. never feed without throwing out scouts or sentries. J. G. Milliils describes how he saw a flock of geese feeding with sen tries out nnd how after a time one of the sentries weut up to a bird that was feeding and gave it a gentle peck on the back. The latter thereupon left its grazing and weut off to take up guard, while the sentry took its turn to feed. "Gentle as a dove" is such a common proverb that the dove tias become the emblem of peace. Quite a mistake, for all the dove and pigeon tribe are great fighters, and iu the breeding season the cock birds indulge in battles royal. The foolish prejudice against all birds of prey includes that pretty little hawk the kestrel. Now. if the kestrel were known us the mouse falcon it is possible that keepers would not invariably shoot it on sight. The kestrel lives mainly on mice and wireworms. It Is quite innocent of killing partridges. In a game preserving district in southern Scotland kestrels were practically exterminated u few years ago. What was the result? Over a tract of country of 1.200 square miles deld mice Increased in such myriads that the grazing was absolutely ruined. One sheep farmer lost $8,000 in one year. Exchange. The Wheel Problem. Which, at any given moment, is moving forward faster the top of a coach wheel or the bottom? The answer t this question seems simple enough, but probably nine persons out of ten. asked at random, would give the wrong reply. It would appear at first sight that the top and bottom must be moving at the same rate that is, the speed of the carriage. But by a little thought it will be discovered that the bottom of the wheel is iu fact, by tbe direction of Its motion around its axis, moving backward, in an opposite direction to that which the carriage is advancing and is consequently stationary In space, while the point on top of the wheel is moving forward with the double "velocity of its own motion around tbe axis and tha speed at which tbe carriage moves. A Monster Octopus. An octopus which had . been In a fight with some other monster once drifted ashore on tbe Malay peninsula. He had feeJers. or arms, which were from twelve to seventeen feet long and weighed ' altogether 50 pounds. It was calculated that he was big enongh and strong enough to drag a two ton Ashing boat under the surface by main strength. . r.
