Old Copy Reader Ransacks His Mini for Most Unique Story He'Can Recall, and Here Is the Result He Achieved. The oldest copy reader on the pa per grew reminiscent. "In all the thousands of 'stories' for the paper I have read, how many unique ones have I found? Well, I can give you one that stands out in my memory, sharply defined, without a flaw. "It is about the strangest fish that was ever caught in Sheepshead bay. It vae about the time that motor boats were first being built, and risky things they were, too,, in those days. Well, there was a certain young man about Broadway whose boast was that he would try anything once. "He had tried automobiles and had had considerable success in finding out what happened to them when they ran into brick walls, telegraph poles and other things like that. So he decided to try motorboats, too. "He did, and never tried anything after that. He gathered a jolly little party, packed a jolly little luncheon and off from shore they set in a cocky little motorboat, out into the middle of Sheepshead bay. There came a heavy squall, the boat upset and several of the happy throng were drowned, the gay young man included. Now, here's the meat of the yarn: "The prettiest girl In the party was also the gayest. Her French heels were the highest and her big, flappy hat was the biggest and the flappiest Well, she went down, down Into Sheepshead bay and drank more wa ter in five minutes than she had in as many years. "When she came up for the third time she grabbed an empty floating box and clung to it until she grew too weafe. Down she went. Night fell. "How a tug came puffing and snort Ing on her way back from the garb age dumping grounds—or waters— dragging half a dozen empty scows, all of which were, like all such craft, •qaipped with hinged bottoms which sffen outward. All the scows were open, and aboard one, the captain or ship per or master, or whatever he ranked, was watching to see that nothing broke loose in the squall. "Suddenly he heard a squeak, shrill and uncanny. He Investigated. And inside his opuned-up garbage scow, clinging desperately to the chains that swing open and shut the container of garbage was what had been a glorious creature in picture hat, French heels and other furbelows. The garbage master was a brave man, but this ap palled him. His nerve won, however, and he hauled the miracle to what deck there was, and she survived and revived. "What had happened was that the beautiful lady had been drawn down into the water again, but had once more come to the surface just as the scow passed over her and she had come up inside. She had life enough and sense enough to grasp anything tangible, that being in this case a slip pery chain. Then she knew enough to try to shriek. The squeak she emitted saved her life." Qleanlng. England Is delighted, and justly so, with her surprising success at wheat culture, the present home-grown crop of which released many thousand tons- of shipping for use elsewhere. Incidentally, also, the hgme product saved England many millions that normally would have been sent beyond the ocean to Argentina and the United States for breadstuffs. It is now pre #ctea that r^ever agalj) will the "Island kingdom1' allow her aricfent agriculture to fall into evil ways as during the last half century. How well, indeed, the world has learned during the trials and restrictions of war that Mother Barth is a cherishing mother indeed, and that in hours of distress It is to her that man must turn for comfort and succor. 8lang In the Pulpit. A striking Instance of the force of American "slanguage" Is afforded In one of America's leading preachers. The speaker, a doctor of divinity, was addressing a Canadian audience on Uncle Sam's efforts. In a 90-mlnute talk there occurred, among others, these'"gems:" "We are on this job to the finish. We are prepared to fight till hell Itself freezes over, and If Ger many Isn't beat then we'll buy skates «nd get after her on the Ice."
