She divorced and married the same man three times within 10 years. Her first divorce was granted eight years ago. She remarried her former husband. In 1931 she was divorced, and two years later Hall again "popped" the question. Mrs. Hall says that the last time he married her for "spite" and she o ignorant that he doesn't know what he would do if he were in your place. Friend--"See that fellow giving imitations over there? What does he always remind you of?" Man--"The $10 I owe him." A free country is one that doesn't let any political or social group have things entirely its own way. Harris--"When the house-wrecker* tore down Brown's house they found a collar button he had lost twelve years ago." Kramer--"I'd think it would have been cheaper for him to have bought another collar button. A visitor at the Insane asylum was watching one of the inmates pushing a wheelbarrow upside down. Visitor--"That's not the way to push that thing. You've got it upside down." Lunatic--"Oh, have I? I used to push it the other way, and they jut bricks in It." There are people in every community that would get a monopoly on air if they could. Mrs. A.--"Jimmie has been in the third grade for two years. I worn how he will ever get aheai Mr. A.--"Don't know. If he wasn't born with one, he never will." We'd rather listen to the story on a public hanging than hear the det; of an unsuccessful speculation in '.'May every soul that touches Be it the slightest contact, Get therefrom some good, Some little grace, one kindly thoug' it, One aspiration yet unfelt, one bit courage For the darkening sky, one gleam faith To brace the thickening ills of Ii: e, One glimpse of brighter sky beyo id the gathering mist, To make this life worth while, And heaven a heritage." Mrs. Robert Katz telephoned h husband that she would call for h m at the office. Not finding him theie, she looked in at the barber's shop on the floor beneath. "Bob Katz here?" she asked. "No, madam," replied the indignant barber. "We certainly do not bob cats here." It is because there are so many fools in the world that the wise man its an occasional break. Mr. Wise was evidently not feeling the jolliest of moods. "Just look at that notice," he said, indicating the words "Post No Bills" on a blank wall, near the business section of his ' city. "What is the use of sticking that up there?" he continued. Why don't they put these things jn be right place?" "Where would you put it?" asked his friend.

New Rail Route In Selkirk Range Shortly to be Opened--Will Put An End to Loss of Lives on Dangerous Stretch of Track. DOWNIE, B.C.--As an aim to greater safety two and a half miles of railway line near this station high in the Selkirk Range of the Rocky Mountains is going to be abandoned this fall. Before the snow begins to fly trains will be travelling over a new route which is now Hearing completion. This new route is expected to cost the Canadian Pacific Railway more than $250,000--but they think it will be well worth it. For over that 2% mile stretch at least 22 lives have been lost in recent years and thousands of dollars have been spent in clearing away rock and snow slides and in repairing trackage damaged by them. The new track commences half a mile from Alberta Canyon Gorge, about 25 miles east of Revelstoke. At the gorge trains regularly stop to give passengers a chance to view the magnificent scenery and the 200-foot decline to the course of the small moun-tail stream. Where 17 Were Killed It was on the doomed stretch that 17 men were killed a year and a haft ago while they were clearing a snow cut. The tender of a railway engine broke away, hurtled into the cut, and smashed them like flies against the towering banks of snow. Single and double accidents have added the others to the toll. But now, the rumble of trucks -- the first heard in these mountain fastnesses--is paving the way for the new route, moving material for a huge "fill" at the west end. It is a far cry from the equipment used when the original route was built. Spurring the workmen to their tasks is Mervin "Red" Dutton, the famous hockey player who now manages New York Americans of the National League. Dutton Is one of the partners In the Winnipeg contracting firm (Dutton and Company) which nas charge of the work. Problem Child "Red," whose hockey club last year became the N.H.L.'s "problem child," has found plenty of difficulties to overcome--but he has proved a match for then) He has had to pitch his tenacity against the determination of the roaring Illecillewaet river, battle with the crumbling shale and tussle with the smaller mountain freshets that nibbled at his big fill. The huge expenditure is the second taken by the railway in a diversion to eliminate slide conditions. The first was the construction of the lengthy Connaught tunnel, a step that allowed the railway to skip the hazardous Rogers Pass route. On that stretch 67 men lost their lives on March 4, 1910. Primitive Diet Urged For Moderns NEW YORK-- Dr. Weston E. Price, Cleveland diet specialist, turning this week from two months' studying of Indians in Peru said modern civilization is slipping largi ly because people don't eat the right The specialist analyzed foods eaten by pure-blooded and half-breed Indians and said those who have retained their primitive manners of diet are splendid physical specimens while those who have gained the habits of Europeans have deteriorated physically and mentally. Poem Warns Long Speakers Used as Prank on Mayor of Wall-aceburg Who Takes Hint Maybe the following little four-line song, introduced last evening at Wall-aceburg at the testimonial banquet tendered to Donald Lamont, Canada's oldest active employee of the glass industry, is appropriate at election time: "Give us a speech, make it peach; Let it be brief brother, let it be bright. But be a sport, and cut it short; Tomorrow we work, we must sleep tonight." Set to the tune of "Here Comes the Bride," this little songlet was first used just prior to calling on Mayor U. Dickerson, who appreciated the joke on himself. The song is a com-ion of Song-Leader Harold Frost, so well was it received that subsequent speakers of the evening will be greeted by it, and guided by it.-- Windsor Daily Star. Modern Bagpipe Music The initiative is being taken by a well-known London Highlander and exponent of the bagpipes to interest enthusiasts for the pipes in the publication of modern bagpipe compositions. Many new piping tunes are composed by pipers in all parts of ^England as well as Scotland, but they are not published or collected and made available to exponents of the pipes generally. The Scottish Piping Society of London has many members who compose original tunes, and they exchange them among J SLICED VERY THIN By Sixbits 'No Matter^ How Thin You Slice It -- It's Still Boloney* What seems to be the crying need in sports circles at the moment would seem to be some sort of a school or educational course for box-fight judges and referees so that there could be a little more close harmony in their decisions. When, in an important tangle like the Farr-Louis affair you find the referee scoring only two rounds for the Welshman, while other alleged experts gave him as many as six or seven, it would certainly seem as if they hadn't all learned out of the same beok. We don't think that Farr won the fight--his own manager's admission that Louis had been the better being pretty conclusive; but if Clem McCarthy's vision doesn't need plenty of sharpening, it certainly was a whole lot closer than any thirteen to two. However, Mr. Farr did real well for himself--much better than was expected by anybody excepting, possibly, himself. He is in a similar position to the lucky gent who fell down the se-.ver and came up with a gold watch and chain; and if he only watches his step does not need to worry about ever having to go back to the mines or the tent shows either. If Tommy only packed a wallop in keeping with his moxie and fighting spirit he would be champion of the world right now and they would probably be trying to prove that he was really an Irisher, as~ seems to be the custom when a new charapion is crowned; although, as far as we know, nobody has yet tried to claim that Joe Louis has any Harp blood for some reason or other. But Farr seems to lack that old lethal larrup wth either fist, which seems a pity, although it is perhaps too much to expect real perfection from any mortal. Like the ancient one about the two street sweepers who were standing talking about one of their former confreres who had recently passed on to his reward. " 'Tis certainly a pity. He sure used "He did that," replied the other. "And yet, do you know, I sometimes thought that Mike's technique was just a bit faulty around he lamp-posts." As far as the great election brawl is concerned--well, the general feeling seems to be to echo the one President Roosevelt borrowed from the Immortal William--"a plague on both your houses." It's too hot and there are too many other things to worry about for most people to bother their heads over an election which nobody can see any real reason for holding; and the electors appear to be taking the atttude of strict impartiality shown by the dame who was watching her husband fighting a bead. "Go it husband--go it b'ar." But from the financial statistics being published and broadcast by both sides it would seem as if there was still a lot of truth in the old saying, "Figures don't lie--but some liars certainly do figure." members of their own society. It has not yet reached the stage when it can afford the funds to print new pipe music, a list of the compositions set in the last few years in this country would make up many volumes. Many of the marches and other tunes are dedicated to individuals, and are only heard at the Scottish Society gatherings from the composer himself. It is felt that modern music ought to be given in competitions at Highland gatherings in preference to the older tunes. -- Edinburgh Scotsman. Postcard Delivery Took 26 Years BRANTFORD, Ont-- A postcard mailed here 26 years ago was delivered in Cleveland two weeks ago, ac- TRENCH'S REMEDIES Issue No. 37--'37 cording to Mrs. Charles Norris, of Brantford. There was no indication on the card why it was delayed so long. The card was addressed to Mrs. W. C. Penfold, Cleveland, who died foui years ago. An alert postman recalled the dead woman had a daughter residing in the city. The card finally was delivered to Mrs. Julius Eastman.
