"Strange But True

By I. ll. MacArthur

When Martin Luther was a boy he and his brother were walking together. when a violent electrical storm overtook them. Martin's brother was killed instantly by a (lush of lightning. but the young- er Luther was spared although they walked side by side.

By the scige of Leicester. a young soldier was drawn out for sentry duty. one of his comrades wanted to take his place. No ob- jection was made. and this man went. He was shot dead while on guard. The young chap first drawn. afterwards wrote Pili':riiii's pro- grass.

John D. Rockefeller. Sr .u.sed to occupy a certain chair with his back to the window. (lliP ci-eiiing he had a hunch that he should not sit in the chair. 'Ilhat vcry iiight somebody put a shot through the window: It passed right tIll'(lllJ,I'l the back panel of tlic cliiiir in which he usually sat.

That "a man's best friend is his dog." turned out to be true in the case of John Baxter. of New Zcalzind, who recently roivcd his dog up stream with the iiitcntion of drowning it.

When he threw Fido into the water the animal turned about and started to climb alniard the boat. In attempting to heat the dog off. Baxter fell ovc:-biiaitl and would have drowned. liiiti not the loyal Fido st-ized him by the cloth- ing and towed him to the :I'l4)i0.

All persons living in the country are familiar with the black beetle. or water spider, which spends hours walking on brooks. lakes and ponds. But how many know that this diminutive insect pos- sesses two pairs of eyes. so placed that. when it glides along one pair is above the surface of the water. and the other pair ht-low. All these eyes are tICSl;ilC(I by

nature for a purpose-one pair to see things under the water; and the second pair. the things above it: one pair looks for food. the other keeps watch out for danger. The two together fit the insect for its life on the dividing line be- tween air and water.

One day. when Napoleon I was reviewing his troops in Paris, the horse he'd been riding. suddenly jerked the reins from his hands and galloped away. A private caught the horse and returned it to its owner.

"Much obliged to mu. Captain." sold Napoleon. The man immedi- atcly piped up: "Of what regi- ment. sir'."' Niiyoleon. delighted with the privtitc's ready wit, re- plied. "Of my guard!” and rode away. And so the soldier came to duty as it captain of Napoleon's guard. Sti-aiicc but true.

In many of the small towns throughout Sweden. May Day is ushered in by a quaint custom or rather festival. which is called the "Battle of Summer and winter." Troops of young men on horseback draw up in battle order. The side representing Winter is led by a Captain clad in furs. who throws snowballs in order to prolong the cold weather. The leader of the enemy group represents Summer with all her magic dress. The sham fight which follows ends with a least in which everybody joins.

In parts of Bavaria much the same custom is observed except that a war of words takes the place of actual combat. That is. each side extols the pleasures and benefits of the season they repre- sent. The dialogue is in verse. Two couplets will serve as specimens:
