THURSDAY. Strange But Two by I. ll. MacArthur Looking to the future, H. E. No- Dermott. 09. of Masteriton. New Zealand. has Just completed build- ing a (our-room cottage. "I want to be sure of some oom- fort.in nu old age" said the oner- getic oldster as he moved into his new home. Last night at twelve I felt im- mense, But. now I feel like thirty cents. You may not think of your watch as a machine but it is. True its not a. very powerful one, only about ixaoo.ooo.ooo h.p. There is a rodent in Santa Domingo known scientifically as plegidontis aldium. It disappeared in 1936 and did not turn up again until 1046. The appearance and disappear- ance of certain animals is a puzzle to naturalists. Isn't it strange how some folk are always wishing they had more money. were better looking. had more friends, etc. Well, believe me. idle wishing is a waste of time snd energy. If you really want some- thing bad enough you should stop wishing. go into action. Instead of envying your well off neighbor. get busy and make your- self a fortune. and don't for good- iicss sake. court his pretty wife. Remember that there are as "good fish in the sea as ever were caught." Never mind about what you don't have. but look at what you do have and count your blessings. The per- son never lived who had every- thing he wanted any more than you do. Four-year-old Kenny MacDonald. of Cornwall. was staring at some holes in an old door. when he ask- ed me. "What are those holes in the door, Frank?” I told the little fellow they were knot holes. The child looked at me puzzled and then asked. "If they are not holes. then what are they?" That stumped me. The person who believes mind controls mattiq has never played poker or bet e horses. The gal who can. kindle a flame in a young fe1ler's heart usually turns out to be a. good match. Pleading guilty to robbing a wo- man of her purse which containeg but two cents. Robert Auuin. l , of Washington. drew a two to six- year prison term "You wouldn't jail a fellow for two cents?" pleaded Austin. "For two cents I would jail you,'' said the judge. and he did. Members of the diplomatic corps live the life of Rieily in Washing- ton. D. C. They pay no U. 5 income tax. No District of Columbia. Sales tax. no luxury taxes on such things as jewelry and furs. For them life in the U. S. A. is a bed of roses. an orgy of luxury. 0 0 Argentina is the home of a wonderful little animal known as the coypu. It has the tail of a muskrat, teeth like a beaver. front feet resembling a monkey's paws. a cry like a new-born baby. and looks like an oversized gopher. What. is the coypu good for? Well. in the first place. its pelt V worth 300. Its meat brings 31.50 a pound. the ground hair goes into mens ex- pensive hats and high quality brushes. The little four-footed ro- dent is a veritable gold mine, for anyone who would care to pioneer their ranching. Counting noses (census! comes down to us from. t.he Romans. The Romans were not the. first though, to take. census for the purpose of taxation. That pesky business was being carried out in China. 3,000 years before Christ, in Greece. 600 R. C. Canada can claim the first census taking in modern times or rather I should have said. New France. the land that was to become Cali- ada. This Census was taken in 1660 by a personal canvass. the can- vssser asking the same number of questions. or nearly the same as are put to Mr. and Mrs. John citizen in ollr time. It is interesting in note that the Maritime provinces (Newfoundland was not in the count) had only 20,000 inhabitants at that time. It was almost a century later that a similar population count was talt-n in Europe or in other parts of America. As she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Mrs. J. E. White of Toledo, Ohio. saw a fishing line over the mirror in her bedroom. A moment more and the hook on the line took hold of her pocket, book and yank- ed it through the window.

Dueling with cars in traffic in a brand-new irlea. 7 ft, 6 in. Gilbert Richer-t of Cleveland. Ohio, wears size 20 shoes. has his clothes tailored to fit his :00 pounds frame. and uses a special set. of clubs when he plays oli. Richertfs parents were on the biggish side too. His mother was six foot. three inches and his father six foot four inches. His wife is five foot. two inches and thatls the long and short of the Richert family. Use the talents you possess. for the woods would be very silent If no bird sans except the best. A flounder has an eye on each raids of its head. at birth, but it spends most of its life resting on one side on the bottom of the ha. and strange but true one eye migrates until both are on the up- per side of the head.
