IN THE WORLD MODERN HEROES | "There arewt any heroes now- adays," sighed Phil, as he put down the book about knights of old which he had been reading. "Of course there are," laughed his mother, who . was busily prepariig dinner. "The trouble is that bécause they don't wear shining armor and ride around rescuing people we don't think of them as heroes." She held Up & ean of codfish which she was ' opening. "Just think of the bravery this represents." "Bravery" sniffed Phil. "What do you mean?" "Fishing," his mother went on, "is a business for brave men only. Off ths coast of Newfoundland, where the great cod fisheries nre, there are as many as seventy thousand boats work- ig In the summer. The danger of collision is always great. "Then, too, the hours are long and the work requires strength and stick- to-it-iven Codfish are heavy to handle, . They must be drawn (into the boats, cleaned, cut, and packed below "the decks. The fishermen must work unceasingly. "Many tales of bravery are told by old fishermen, tales of the dangers the men brave in their little boats, when the chill creeps over the water and the terrible mists come down. It re- quires courage to do one's work when you cannot see a foot in front of you, and must hear the weird fogehorns blowing. Yet to these men it is all In the day's work." "Will you have anything on your face when I finish shaving?" asked the barber of Mr. Brown. "Maybe my nose." HANDWALKING "Walking on your hands," sald Mr Clarke one evening as he and Dan and Rod prepared to take thelr daily tumbling practice, "is a great deal like standing on your hands, except that you move about, "Stand facing a wall. Bend over and place your hands about eighteen inches from the wall. Make your arm stiff. Kick up your feet. Bend your knees.

Handwalking is a matter of overbalancing and then getting your balance by shifting your hands." Figure 3 shows the tumbler, Just straightening his body in the aiff and figure 4 shows him stepping along. "And when you want to come back to your feet," contirfued Mr. Clarke, "don't just topple over, but do a neat 'roll.' Duck your head, curl up and you will come to your foet gracefilly." The boys tried it. Both found hand- walking something harder to do than it looks. "But keep practicing and you'll learn," encouraged Mr. Clarke, TODAY'S PUZZLE Hidden in this sentence is the name of a large body of water in Canada: "The box landed on the dock with a thud.

HUMOR PLAY WORK NE REEL YARNS STEVIE RUNS AWAY rot going to stand it any Stevie threw down his books with a bang. 'I'm sick of having that teachef fuss at me all day long. Everything I do is wrong. And then when I get home I siways get scolded for not doing any better." Stevie went to the cupboard and found a piece of pie left from dinner. His mother was out. The house seemed cold and gloomy. "I'm going ° to chuck it all and run away," Stevie declared aloud. "I'm old enough to get a Job In the city. Wen't anybody miss me anyway." He went up to his room, threw some of his clothes into his father's old suitcase, took out of his bureau some money he had been saving for a bicy- cle, and léft the house. His eyes shone as he thought of how fine it was to be starting out in the world for himaelf. He arrived in the city late In the evening. The noises and largeness of the big city bewildered him and he be- gan to feel a little panic-stricken. He asked the way to a cheap rooming house. It was an ugly, dirty room the crabbed landlady gave him. How dif. ferent from home! . Stevie couldn't get to sleep that night. What uld his mother do when she found him gone? He hadn't thought, when he went away, how she would feel. Before dawn Stevie was up and walking about near the railroad sta- tion. When the early train left in the direction of his town, Stevie was on It All the way from the station to his house he dreaded facing his mother. He found the house dark and silent, Perhaps they were still out hunting him. Maybe his father had notified the police. Then he heard a step om the front porch. The door opened. "Why, Stevie," sald his mother. "You poor boy. Have you been alone in the house all night? Didn't you see my note?" "What note?" asked the bewildered "I'm longer." y. "Why, I left a note on your bureau telling you that your father and I were going out to the McClusky wedding at Five Points and would stay there for the night. I told you to go over to Aunt May's. Whatever did you think had become of us?" "Whew!" exploded Stevie, "I'm glad, I'm glad!" And his mother couldn't anderstand. -- "You tock a great risk, rescuing my son from drowning in this icy pond," sald the old gentleman to the young Answer to yesierday's: Evelyn, a TRIAL FOR DIVORCE, - ---- -- Suit Against *E, B.

He later served an answer in which he denied the allegations in his wife's complaint and claimed he was a via- tim of circumstances and never had been guilty of misconduct of the sort which would justify divorce.

Toroato KING, rooms only an accident at the last moment, | which prevented Huge Stinnes, pan- | German, multi-millionaire, captain of industry and would-be restorer of the Hohenzollerns, from paying Canada a visit not long ago. Reputed to be worth two billion dollars, eontroiling 60 German newspapers, lord of in- numerable banks, factories, juines, with carefully camouflaged interests reaching into various parts of the world, Stinnes is to-day, the greatest Power in Germany. 'Stinnes, the new shadow of the world," is how a | German-American writer describes him, going .on to say that Siinnes is a very potential danger. Horribly clever, a tireless schemer and a man who will brook Jo op- Position, Stinnes is sald t6 have one great ambition. He hopes to see a Kaiser enthroned again in a mighty Fatherland and to be.that Kaiser's Imperial Chancellor. To this end "tis said that Stinnes is daily adding to his wealth and power. It is an ominous picture that J. A. Stfllman paints in the New York Tribune. Siillman, born in Germany but resi- dent all his life in the United States, Was at one time in the service of Stinnes. Hence his intimate ae- quaintance wiih that unscrupulous wizard of German finance. Unlike most men of his industrious ways, Stinnes was born to wealth. Of a German Rhineland family, his father, who owned a great trawling fleet, left him a fortune of some $2,000,000 which the son quickly in- creased. Immensely rich before the war his wealth has increased encr-| mously since. Siinnes is about $0 years old, medium sized, heavily built, with a small Vandyke beard, very dark with a Spanish cast of features, short-cropped hair, heavy, | vulgar, grasping hands with stout fingers, and thick bushy eyebrows from under which keen penetrating eyes look out.

S"innes' main home is a; very plainly furnished place with | Just the necessary tables and chairs | to accommodate his family and | guests -- devoid of pictures, flowers | and works of art. The food served | is plain though good, but the wine Is plentiful and of the very best quality, and includes abundance of champagne. After dinner his sister- in-law usually turns on the gramo- Phone, to which the guests dance.

"He preys entirely upon living things. Fish, eels, rats, mice, ducklings, waterhens, and frogs--on each and all of these he wages an incessant warfare. He is a veritable ogre of the waters, hated by every other creature that swims in or upon them, with one exception. He has one great foe who is not afraid to tackle him single-handed, and that foe is the otter. : In April the eggs are laid from which will hateh a swarm of future terrors of the waters. Within a few weeks of their birth they make themselves felt by attacking and eat- ing all their little brothers and sis ters who are not so well developed as themselves. When they are three inches long they are gulping down minnows half as big as themselves. And the baby pike does not do things by halves. He has a rapid digestion which leads to keenness of appetite. Often he will devour two or three times his owm weight of small fish in a day. In a remarkably short time he be- comes a Jack, weighing from two te trout, roach, and dace eight inches or more in length. . Except on very rare occasions he does not give chase to his prey. You will find him lying motionless amongst the weeds, whose color his own olive-green coat matches per fectly. There he waits until some luckless fish ventures his way. Them the motionless body is galvanized in- to life; there is a lightning dart, and the prey is held by the middle in his terrible jaws. He may keep it there for some time before turning it round and sending it head ' first down his gaping throat. Occasion- ally, if he is not very hungry, he will play with it as a cat plays with a mouse. The pike's head is lengthened out in front into a kind of beak, which is armed above and below with rows and rows of strong needle-pointed teeth. So powerful are the muscles that work the jaws that on many occasions a captured pike has bittem clean through an angler's boot. Frank Buckland, the famous na turalist, had an amazing stuffed specimen of two large pikes, one of which had tried to swallow the other. He had got the other's head and shoulders right down his throat, and both fish died of suffocation. Anoiher remarkable instance of the pike's voracity occurred a short time ago, Several tame swans were kept on a lake which contained large pike. One day the owner saw a swan floating with its head under water. |' As the head did not reappear he row- ed out in a boat, and on inyestiga~ tion found that a pike had grabbed the swan's head, which was fixed | firmly in his throat. The pike grows to an enormous size. Even if we do not credit the old chronicler's account of 'a fish which was two hundred years old { and - weighed about five hundred- weight, we have authentic records of pike of seventy pounds which have | been"caught in this country.
