OF all the races of men the Chinaman is the
most dominant. Once heathen Chinese
Celestial and his descendants will have the
samelcolor, form and disgusting cannibal pro-
clivities no matter with what race he may in
ter-marry. Take the American Chinaman, the
knight of suds, and you see in him the traits
and manners Of Houi Tou, who existed 1900
years B. O.; and it will always be thus. Down
through the ages that lead to the millennium
the race can never abandon its appetite for
rats, rice and opium; its obnoxious manner
of dress; its cat track notation and enumera-
tion; its demented language or peculiar color.
John Chinaman will hold his own.

Ex-senator pomeroy,s Big Hotel hi

Ex-senator Pomeroy's Big Hotel Bill.
The Judgment of $15, 1924. so recently
issued by the supreme court of Kansas
in favor of the plaintiff in the case of
E. A. Smith against S. E. Pomeroy dates
back to 1878. Smith was proprietor of
the old "Tefft house" in Topeka, where
Pomeroy made his celebrated unsuccess-
full attempt to be reelected United
States senator. Pomeroy quartered his
political friends at the "Tefft house"
during the campaign, creating bill Of
$19, ,32450. After his defeat Pomeroy
paid Smith $4,000, claiming that was
enough. Smith thereupon instituted
proceedings in the district court of At
Gibson county for the balance. The debt,
including interest and costs, amounts to
about $50, ,000.-St. Louis Republic.

One of themost amusing cases of absent

He was one day in a book store, deeply alb
sorbed in finding work to prove some ques-

customers, and as the professor started to
leave he stopped to shake hands with few
friends. Last Of all he extended his hand to
sweet-faced lady near the counter saying:
,"Good- madame. Your face looks
very familiar, but am unable to recall your
name" Absorbed IN thought, he passed
out without awaiting the lady's reply. She

TIE MOVEMENT OF GLACIERS.
They Have Left Behind Mighty Paths by
Which They Arc Studied Today.

They Have Left Behind Mighty Paths by
Which They Are Studied Today.
In high valleys, among the mount
aims whose tops are covered with per-
petual snow, are often found seas of
ice called glaciers. They are formed
thus Snow that falls upon lofty
mountains melts very little even in
summer. So in valleys high up among
the mountains it gathers to q great
depth, and from the weight of the
snow lying above the lower layers be-
come icy, as a SNOWFALL does when
squeezed. The upper crust melts a lit
tie during the heat of the day, and the
water sinks down through the snow,
and then freezes at night. From this
melting and freezing the mass of snow
is soon changed into a sea of ice.
Remember that when water freezes
it expands. If we fill bottle with
water and let it freeze over night, in
the morning we find that the bottle is
cracked by the swelling of the ice. So
it is with the water that forms glaciers.
When it freezes it stretches and pushes
its way down in whatever direction the
valleys slope.
Glaciers of today are much smaller
than the ice seas of long ago, but still
in studying them we learn to under
stand the old glaciers.
In travelling down valleys those an
Gent glaciers left traces of their jour
ney. Over all the places where the ice
seas passed the rocks are rounded and
highly polished A field of these round
ed rocks when seen from distance,
looks like a field filled with sheep
crouching on the ground, and Swiss
biologists have called them roches
moutonnees-'sh sheep like rocks" Ina
valley along the summit of the Rocky
mountains, near the Mountain of the
Holy Cross, there is a beautiful dis
play of these polished, rounded rocks.
As the glaciers moved down the val
legs, great rocks, frozen fast in the ice
on the sides and at the bottom,
scratched and marked other rocks as
they passed by and over them. Some
times these scorings are very broad and
ciers carried were like strong, powerful
tools in the grasp of mighty engine
sometimes the lines are as fine as those
of fine engraving. They usually run
all the one Z ", and by looking at the
direction in .hich the lines run one
can tell the ction in which the gla-
cier moved. u
