The mln ister, desirous of making the visitor's acquaintance, quickly followed. As the boy was adjusting the bridle rein, his horse made a sudden movement of the head, catching his fingers firmly between the rein and the hame, causing severe pain, ignorant of the minister's presence, he instantly muttered an oath. "Tut, tut, my boy," exclaimed the clergyman with disgust "How shameful. You should think before you speak." "I did," said the other, wheeling around quickly.

The central circus administration has charge of this work and in -all corners of the Soviet union, when work on the "industrial front" suffers a break, singers, dancers, and actors are rushed off In "shock brigades" to encourage the tired worklngman much as in the war performing artists were sent to the trenches to "pep op" the troops. Eight artists' brigades have )nst been sent out to perform for the transport workers. Transport is notoriously in a bad way, due to the overcrowding of freight for the main industrial plants. Pines, trials, public reprimands, Increased wages, and now artists performances have been tried out on the transport workers. The new "shock workers'* are sent to the industrial front in special cars, called "agitation" cars. The "actors and singers not only sing and dance for amusement, but they sprinkle the program with encouraging propaganda. For transport workers the brigades are shunted up and down the main railroad lines and give their performances at railroad stations, where there are no permanent clubs in existence. Eight other brigades of actors and singers are en route for the northern timber regions. Between tree-chopping and sawing logs the laborers in the great forest regions of the North will be regaled with the latest theatrical talent from Moscow. Ivanovo, which is the great 'textile center of Russia, is also waiting for the arrival of performing brigades. St. Louis Home Being Razed in Hunt for Gold St. Louis.--Stone by stoue a onehundred- year-old home is being torn down by workers seeking $10,000 in money and securities an aged recluse Is believed to have hidden before his death. The stone home was built on a high hill overlooking most of Soath St. Louis. To it J. C. Idecker brought his bride 80 years ago. He was a feudal lord over hundreds of acres contained in the farm on whlcb the house waa built . Twenty-two years ago his wife died, leaving him wlth^three babies, a boy and two girls. Idecker closed up his wife's room after ber death and he and the children lived In another part of the house. County officials took the children away from him when they became of school age and he showed no inclination to. educate them. Then the children grew ap and moved to the city to live.

Neighbors entered the house when his li/eless body was discovered, found his wife's room Just as she had left It A search failed to reveal the hidden money it was believed he hoarded. Workmen were then employed'to tear the house down. Will Protect Tourists From Frolicsome Bears v Washington.--Stringent measures will be taken next summer to keep tourists away from the bears in Yellowstone national park, according to officials of the park. The bears, it seems, have become too intimate lately, disturbing visitors in their camps while searching for food. A number of park visitors have left with souvenirs they did not bargain for through the playful habit of some of the bears of coming around in the night and biting or slapping sleepers In order to awaken them and demand food. This condition has caused many complaints and olBcials say that they must take measures to keep visitors from feeding the bears, while allowing them to look at the brown and black forest clowns from a safe distance. ~ Owes for Haircut 40 Years, Then Pays Up Arkadelphla, Ark.--George Clark of Blerne, near here, recently was declared one of the world's most honest men.

" flSckliag to Death** Long ago the Chinese had weird and terrible tortures, but perhaps the worst of the lot was the "feather torture." For this method of torture no red-hot irons were necessary. The victim was tied to a low table, and the warder tickled the prisoner's feet with a feather. Every four hours the guard was replaced and the tickling was kept up for days on end. Often victims went mad, and occasionally a man woald be "tickled to death." Mr. ang Mrs. Wayne Baeon and chiliran wan eallers a* Crystal Cake Satoday eivanhi*.
