.iitiiiiinHiimiimiiiiHiiiiiiiiHiiiiijtiii; MY •» 1 FAVORITE ‘T STORIES COBB I I=4 I i Something New in Natural History AS PERCY KNIGHT, the English comedian, told 3 me the story, there was once u fellow countryman of his, a seafaring man. who bad a turn for oil colors Naturally his fancy led him to marines, th odd times aboard ship he practiced his art until be had mastered two studies I —a brig running before the wind in the midst of a lot of cottony-looking waves, and a sloop bearing her way along a rocky shore. This done, the ambitious one decided to give up sailoring and turn artist in earnest He would drift across the country with his materials strapped to his back and do signs for public bouses He had a natural fondness for public houses, anyhow. On his first day’s travel he got two commissions. On the morning of the second day at a point well inland be came upon a wayside tavern. Above its door hung a signboard so battered by the rains of years and so bleached by the suns that the original design upon it was practically obliterated; only a few pale streaks of color remained. in the doorway lounged the proprietor. The wayfarer scented another job. He baited, introduced himself as a craftsman and for a price offered to repaint the signboard. “Righto.” said the owner, and a bar- | gain was struck. ‘Now, then.” said | the public housekeeper, “wots your notion abaht doin' me a sign?” “Well, on this side ’ere. I’ll do you a smart brig scuddin’ along in ’arf a gale,” said the artist, “and on the other side we’ll ’ave a tidy sloop makin’ for port with a sunset be’ind ’er.” “Wyte a bit. matey, wyte a bit,” said the publican, “Carn’t you read? Don’t you see it says yonder that this ’ere is the Red Lion Inn? It’s been the Red Lion Inn for 7(1 years. You'll paint me a red lion there or the deal’s off.” The artist fetched a sigh of resignation. “’Ave your own wye abaht It,” he. agreed. “I’ll paint you your bloomin’ red lion. But I warn yo« now it’s goin’ to look quite a bit like a fuili rigged ship!” • • • I Henry’s Way of Coming Home THIS one was a favorite with the late Joseph H. Choate. I heard him use it more than once when be was leaking after-dinner speeches. “I had a friend named Jones.” said Mr. Choate, “whose son. although of comparatively tender years, was addicted to the reprehensible habit of indulging in alcoholic beverages. The father packed him oft to Harvard in the hope that the youth might become interested in educational matters and lose his craving for hard liquor. “It appeared that the father’s hopes were to ne gratified, because the young man. in writing home to ask that his allowance be increased, told his sire that he had mended-, his ways and now was devoting himself I exclusively to the undertaking of acquiring learning. The senior Jones was most highly gratified. He decid ed to run 7 up to Cambridge and personally to congratulate his offspring upon the reformation which had been effected. To make the meeting more pleasant he would take the youngster by surprise. So. without announcing : his Intention, he started. “But the train was delayed and my friend did not reach Cambridge until ■ after midnight He got in a cab and ; rode to the boy’s hoarding house. The • building was dark. “Leaving the cab at the curbing, he felt his way up the walk, rang the doorbell and pounded on the door. Eventually an upstairs window was ! opened and an elderly lady, the pro- | prietor of the establishment, showed her head. “‘Well,’ she called out, ‘what is wanted ?’ “‘Does Mr. Henry Jones, Junior, live here?’ asked the father. “ ‘Yes.’ said the old lady wearily. •Carry him in.’ ” <©. bv the MrNaught Syndicate. Ino.» Ancient Goda ! I Among the gods of the early Brit- : ish who were driven into Ireland was I j the sun god Nudd. or Lndd. as he was called.

Whale’s Yield of Oil • The amount of oil which can be ' taken from a whale depends on the individual whale. The sperm whale yields from 5 to 145 barrels of oil, averaging about 25 to 30 for cows and 75 to 90 for-bulls. in 1861 there was a record of a whale yielding 274 barrels of oil.■ Our Idealism We are an idealistic people and will make any sacrifice for a cause that won’t hurt business.—Los Angeles Times.
