pose OF unlimited grazing privileges Tor

rain was falling at the time, and the sea
was choppy and uncomfortable, and their
only protection was an awning. Large
crowd, mostly women, waited their arrival
and assisted them to Chamber up the rocks,
placing stepping stones in dangerous
places. There was every token OF gratl-
tude and rejoicing and many prayers and
blessings were murmured in the native
tongue. The party was escorted by
priests, who showed the various relief
works They were followed over the
whole tour of the islands by many peas

What the mammals are in the scale OF
creation today the reptiles were in the
mesozoic epoch. They SWAN the seas,
climbed trees and We're most phenomenal
jumpers. Some of them even few.
While some were herbivorous, living
upon plants, others were carnivorous,
preserving existence by devouring their
vegetable eating cousins. The yegetar-
ian reptiles were enormous beasts, often
as much as seventy feet in length. They
afforded food for the carniyorous rep
tiles, which were smaller than the herb
ivorous kind, just as lions and tigers
nowadays are smaller than oxen.
Though bigger, the vegetarian Great
ures usually had no arnor nor weapons
to defend themselves with. Their most
powerful defence was kick, which, de-
livered with a hind leg fifteen feet in
length, was assuredly not by any means
to be despised.-Professor Copsin Wash

ANOTHER DISAPPEARANCE.

ST. Louls, April AT became known
this morning that Page Mcpherson, Of the
firm of Mop Pherson, 6witzer & Co., general
brokers on Third street, has been missing
from the city since last Friday. It was at
first rumored that he had committed
suicide. but it developed later that his
disappearance was caused by financial
troubles, and that he left debts behind
him amounting fully to go. 900. McPher-
SON is leading society man and one OF the
best known young men in the city.
Mr.. Charles NJ Switzer, McPherson's g
partner. says there is not the slightest
doubt in his mind that he has committed
suicide AS to the amount of money Nc
Pherson owed, Mr.. Switzer had no idea.
He did know, however, that Mcpherson
was embarrassed financially. 1t was all
borrowed money, and money due on spec
ulations. The speculations were all per
sonal, and did not affect the firm. Mr.. Nc
Pherson, Jr., a nephew of the missing
man, said that the theory of suicide was
not credited by the family, but they
thought Mr.. Mcpherson had gone to Chi
cago for week as he had often done be-
fore. The police are working upon the
case

Frick firms say the strikers cannot live On
the company's property. Tonight the oper-
ators say the strikers are wavering and
breaking at number of plants, and evic-
tion notices have been fairly showered on
the Painter and other works. This is a
powerful weapon in the hands of the oper-
ators, and it looks as if they were now
playing their last and winning game
against the men.
An infuriated crowd of foreign strikers
attacked the houses of several men who
had returned to work at the Trotter plant.
Windows and doors were smashed, and
the inmates were Obliged to ask the dep
uty sheriff for protection. A woman WAS
badly injured. but the crowd withdrew be-
fore doing other damage. Over thirty
warrants have been issued, and the rioters
are being arrested tonight. The strikers
say women led the mob. The bankers
here say steady run has been going on
ever since the strike. The Hungarians
are drawing out their money and going
home. Some have as high as $3.50 to
their credit, and say they will be consid-
cred wealthy in their own country.

Mr.. Crisp has had in his speakership can
didacy has been the attack on his tariff
record by Mr.. Mills indiscreet friends.
That attack has developed Mr.. Crisp's
strength, and the evidence is painful to the
Mills crowd. Democratic representatives
from the eastern and central states seem
to be for Crisp almost to a man. Outh-
waite, of Ohio, said today. with emphasis:
in the house. Every ybody who has known
him in congress knows that his record can
not be questioned earnestly. He made a
better speech on the subject than was
made by any Democrat not member OF
the ways and means committee He did
more for tariff reform than was necessary
for man not on the committee to do.

CHAINElIOIHE ROCK.

Prometheus was chained to the rock
while vultures gnawed his entrails. So
are many people chained to the rock of
prejudice while all manner Of violent
medicines inflict injury upon the sensitive
lining of the stomach and intestines.
They are apparently immovable in the
belief that to experience benefit they must
keep dosing with drastic medicines. I'm
less the action of these is powerful and
excessive, they are not satisfied. They
would distrust remedy of gentle action,
however effective. 1t is not by such pur-
blind extremists as these that the &C
knowledged merits of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are recognized. That benign
regulator of the stomach, the bowels and
the kidneys appeals to the rational-not
only appeals, but is awarded a just valua-
tion. Constipation, liver complaint,
dyspepsia and kidney troubles yield to its
action. So also do malaria and rheuma-

THE WORLDS FAIR.

| CHICAGO, April 14-Don Luis Huller, a
| Mexican railroad mBguate, is in the city.
! He promises to make a donation of $780,
900 Oh his own account in behalf OF the
| worlds fair. He says Mexico's exhibit
will be most attractive one.
The executive committee of the board OF
lady managers of the worlds fair and Miss
Phoebe Couzens, secretary of the board,
have struck another rock of otfense. They
are now at loggerheads over the printing
of the minutes of the November meeting
of the board. A committee was appointed
at that time to see that the minutes were
correct, but Miss Couzens proceeded to
have them printed without first submit
ting them to the committee, claiming
that she had right to do so. The matter
was considered at a meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee today, and resolutions
were adopted declaring Miss CouZens' ac
ton a serious violation Of respect due
TO the lady managers.
William Z. Baker was elected president
of the board of directors of the world s
fair, vice Lyman J. Gage. resigned Mr..
Bakers election was unanimous. He has
been a member of the directory from the
beginning, and has an enviable record for
energy and executive ability. The other
officers of the board were reelected with
out exception. Much regret was expressed
over Mr.. Cages self-imposed retirement.
He started today on six-months' trip to
California to recuperate his health.
BERLIN, April 1.-THE Hamburger

which, referring to the Chicago fair, the
ex-chancellor said: 1T will be great pity

influence them against taking part in the
exhibition. Germany and the United
States have always been friends. The two
countries neither have conflicting terri
torial interests, nor are political rivals
Besides Germans and Americans are bound
by ties of amity. Therefore, it will be re-
gretable if Germany is not fully repre-
sented at the exhibition"

THE POSTAL glide.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The postmaster
general. after frequent endeavors, failed
to obtain an issue of the Postal Guide
without advertisements owing to the
limited appropriation of 1920 at his
command and the circumstance that ad-
vertising of the franchises were very
valuable At the last session of congress
he succeeded in obtaining an appropria-
tion of $50 900. and has just called for bids
for the ensuing fiscal year. in which call it
is stipulated that intending bidders will
not be permitted to place any kind of ad-
vertising whatsoever in the Postal Guide.
They will be permitted neither to insert
advertisements for others nor publish
their own. This will result in a dignified
publication, wholly free from advertise
ments of ouack nostrums, wooden legs
saps, and others OF like character.
