Other yarns: Oscar Cowlie found that he could milk his cows quicker if he took his. radio to the barn, tuned in on fast tempo music; Charles Nestor noticed the backs of his sheep were getting bare, investigation showed that swallows had picked wool therefrom to line their nests; Elmer Sweetdcw tapped his sugar bush, found a pail with whiskey in it next morning, reached into a knothole in the tree and pulled out a whiskey bottle placed there by a hired man years ago.

...settlements lay buried in layers, the most recent dating from 1500 B. C., the oldest lost in antiquity, older by far than Ur of the Chaldees (4000 B. C.). One city after another came to light. Last month diggers under Charles Bache of Philadelphia's University Museum laid bare the Eleventh Level which they assigned to 3750 B. C.

With the backs of their heads shaved bald, the Baroness von Berg and Frau von Natzmer were led in coarse, nondescript prison garb to the blood-caked block from which so many heads now roll in the sawdust. The headsman, incongruous in his yellowish celluloid shirtfront, his old silk hat and his red-spotted tailcoat, raised the gleaming ax. Twice it swished down to sever a lovely neck...
