Creatures That Weep.
Among the creatures that weep mo?t
ieasily are the ruminants. All hunters
know that the stag weeps, and it is
asserted that the bear sheds tears
when severely wounded. The giraffe
Is not less sensitive and regards with
tearful eyes the hunter who has
wounded it.

Mr. TraversHad Not Properly Esti
mated His Losses on That Little
Fistic Encounter.
I can't afford to lose $50 on a
prize fight," mourned Gelatine Trav
ers an hour or so after the shock he
received over the wires that fatal
Friday afternoon. "But you have lost
It, haven't you?" we asked, and he
nodded disconsolately as he climbed
aboard a homebound car. He must
have felt a premonition as he
mourned, for It Is unlike Mr. Travers
to regret his losses; and when he ar
rived home he broke the news to Mrs.
Travers, along with the implied sug
gestion that a little economy for the
next few weeks would not come in
amiss. Mrs. Travers said nothing In
her most sympathetic manner, and the
evening's conversation covered topics
wholly foreign to prize fights. At the
breakfast table next morning Mr.
Travers had no taste for anything the
morning paper might have to say, and
Mrs. Travers gained possession of it
without the usual contest. Glancing,
through the paper rapidly Mrs. Tra
vers tore out a square section from
page 2, and another from page 11.
Then at one of those unexpected mo
ments every woman knows breakfast
is replete with, said: "So you could
lose $50 on a prize fight. Well, well.
Here is a sale I have been awaiting
for a long time. And strange to say,
here is another just across the street
one is on suits and the other on
gowns. And the strangest of all, we
happen to have accounts at both those
stores. Fifty dollars, you say, you
lost? Was itr an even fifty?" And
so It was that the breakfast dishes
at the Travers' home went unwashed

vers, was obliged to catch an early Jit-

Able to Impart.
In all the armies in the war disci
pline was lax In the air service Array
men are at a loss to account for It,
but without exception laxity was evi
dent in all the air camps.
The San Francisco Chronicle tells
the following experience told by Brig.
Gen. BenjamlnxAlvord when the later
was adjutant general of the A. E. F.
The general had been sent by General
Pershing to make an inspection about
Colombey-les-Belles. ,
He walked around without getting
the attention the doughboys would
show an officer of his rank. No one
saluted him and no one noticed him.
Once In a while a captain or a major
would snap a salute, but not the en
listed men. It rather riled the general,
jwho always scrupulously followed
army regulations himself. Finally
when a private passed him with a
cigar in his mouth, and, although look
ing right at him, failed to salute, the
general thought it was time to call a
halt.
"Come here, young fellow," he called.
MSajT, what do you do In this camp
when a general officer shows up?"
"All right, I'll bite, what is it, old
top?" parried the private.
