Davis broke a West Point record at body lifting in a certain Army test Jim Thorpe? Jim was a star at football, track and baseball. He wasnt known as a basketball player. But the red man from Carlisle was a pentathlon and decathlon star at track and field where Davis was only' a sprinter.

During fog time, who keeps the lighthouse while the tired keeper is asleep? The mans lady. Who has to know about wind, rain, snow and fog? Who gets on the semaor flag hoists phore, the wig-wa- g when the old man is tied up? In the old days, who had to know a rum running vessel off shore when she saw one? Lady Does Work Who got out the broom and dust mop to have the place spick and span for a surprise inspection by Who was just as the federals? lonesome as the keeper?
