to see oriental beauties who swayed

Swayed nothing! They were coarse,

up anywhere and deco 'ated with cheap
bangles; they gyrated in clumsy antics
about as gracefully rs a cow would
dance. They We're too stupid to flirt,

library and the public school should be

tent possible. During term time pu-
pills read books under the direction of

library should be encouraged during

AngIo-Snxon Language Cranl1s.

OF all the cranks The Anglo-SaXon
crank is the most entertaining, because
he has an idea that he can revolution
ize the English language by throwing
out Il number of words that everybody
uses and introducing in their stead 4
number that nobody knows anything
about. The Anglo-SlXo maniac has
strong antipathy to all words that are
of Latin or Greek derivation. or, in
deed, Of any derivation at all except
Saxon. and proposes to throw them,
neck and crop. out of the English Ian
guage and substitute English words
in their stead. One Of the tribe has
recently published a little handbook
of the proposed changes, which is the
most amusing tissue Of absurdity ever
seen. According to this reformer, cleo
tricity should be tire-ghost; superanu-
ated should be ovelyeary: democracy
sterhood; and horizon, sky edge. For
telegram he would have us say wire
spell; and for omnibus. folk train. A
row Of houses ought to be house twins;
Il quadrangle should be Il fCurwinkle
and an appendix, hankmatter. For the
word magnificent he would substitute
high deeds, and pcrambulator should
be a pllsh-wainliny. Enthusiasm should
be faitll-hcat, an epidemic Il man-qualm
and an ambassador of state, Spellman.

sense as this may be all right i'll the

who comes out of college and attempts
to work off his new tangled Anglo
Saxon ON his acquain:ances will dis

ness. or, in English, more zeal than dis

THE KING OF CoWBOYs.
A Woody Story From the wild West
"A ROptnE Record. In

a WOODY story From the Wild west
"A Roptng Record. Nv M
They were discussing the wonderful
feats Of riders in wild west shows ut
the Coates house yesterday afternoon,
and now they don't know whether to
believe Dave Douglass, well-known
stocllman of Azada, Mont. or not.
Douglass, be it explained, is not the
Dave. Douglass who competed in the
ride from Chadron to the worlds fa.r
grounds, but he knows good deal
about cowboy riders and their skill
IN different ways, nevertheless.
"The most expert rider 1 eyer saw
on the plains was cowboy named
Tom Bride" he said. Gle was ac-
quainted with all the tricks Of wild
west riders and Of the regular circus
rider, and was equally adept with a
lasso. His feats with the rope were
remarkable. The last time saw him
was only a few monthe ago near Her
mosa, S. D. We We're on a roundup
on the south fork Of the Cheyenne river
and just before reaching camp in the
evening we scared up two wolves.
Watch me catch those fellows he
said, and off he started in hot chase
Of the scared beasts, lifting the coil
OF his lasso from the pommel Of the
saddle as the race began. Now, 4 prai-
rie wolf can outrun almost anything if
pursued. But Ton, had q wiry little
broncho that was noted with the T.
Bell outfit for speed at short dashes.
When the race had progressed but
few hundred yards Tom thought he
had gained sufficiently upon the wolves
to make Il catch. He had an extra
long lasso and he threw it out full
length at least 200 feet 1t looked
like the wolf was beyond it's length,
but when it dropped it settled right
around the VOLTS neck and Tom pulled
it up with jerk. He didn't even brace
his pony for the catch and he kept
right on running at full speed, hauling
in the wolf as he went, until he lifted
it up to the saddle, choked to death,
and tied it Oh. All the time the other
wolf was lighting out Il gait that would
have made Nancy Hanks sick, but the
pony was steadily gaining on it, and
by the time Tom had the first wolf Sc
cured he was close enough to make Il
second catch. The second throw was
an exact repetition Of the first, and the
rope had just frightened Oh the second
VOLTS throat when he wheeled his
pony and came back laughing. BY the
time he reached us he had drawn up
the second wolf, choEed to death as the
first had been. He had run two ami
mails down within range of our eye
sight. altllol gh handicapped by their
long start, and their sllillful capture
had beer made it, less than fourteen
minutes. '-kansaS City Times

EDISON AND THE BEAR.
The Unexpected Visit Paid to the
Snnctum of the inventor.

Snnctum of the inventor.
Thomas A. Edison's father, on one
Of his visits to AIcnlo Park, brought
with him surprise to his son-;l tame
bear that he had captured with his own
hands
1t was very late when he arrived.
and. finding that his son was ON one
of his usual midnight experimental
"sprceS,' he determined not to bother
him, and went to bed, after first care
fully locking the cub in the cellar.
The experiments OH which the ''wiz-
ard was ut work We're the final ones
in the invention Of the photograph.
Mr.. Edison was kneelinS on the floor
listening to the reproduction OF Hn old
song, and his assistants We're punched
behind him. with every nerve strained
to catch the far-off curious sounds. So
intent were they that the stumbling
OF heavy footsteps up the stairs and
opening of the laboratory door We're I'M
noticed, and it was only when heavy
"WOOf' drowned the imitation song
that the little group became aware that
stranger was among them.
The next instant the laboratory
shelves bore, instead of bottles, half q
dozen of the worst scared scientists
in history.
Seeing the lack of disposition to show
him the Inequalities Of the place, the
bear started on Il tour Of inspection Of
his own. He used his paws as the
farmer from "Wayback" Uses his UNI
Drella in art galleries, and soon had the
well arranged workshop in compound
disorder. The shelvel scientists We're
wishing every minute that he would
seize high voltage circuit which wbuld
give him temporary trance. But he
was too wise for that, and it began
to look as if the greatest problem Edi-
son would have to solve that night
was how to escape the clutches of a
bear
The beast was having veritable
picnic in the electrical sanctum when
Mr.. Edison, ST., stalied into the room.
Explanations We're soon made, the
bear was led down stairs, and the
electricians descended from their perch
es. but not in just the proper shape to
continue their experiments that night

FLOODS OF RAIN IN DESERTS
While Wheat Fields Suffer From
the Drought.

While Wheat Fields Suffer From
the Drought
The last place on earth from which
one would expect to hear of railroad
washouts, especially at this season Of
the year, is Arizona, says the San
reputation for aridity that is un-
equalcd on the continent. 1t IS gener-
ally considered a land Of perpetual
drought. 1t scarcely ever rains there
ut any season, and in the summer time
rain is regarded as something I'M
natural.
Yet it has been raining like fury dur
ing the last few days in Arizona. The
downpour has extended to New Mex
leo. and there have even been heavy
showers on the Mohave desert in Cali
fornia. In Arizona the freshets have
been so violent that numerous washouts
have occurred along the line of the
Southern Pacific. Between ella Bend
and Lor,lsburg, N. NJ, track. trestles,
entertainments and bridge approaches
have been carried away. Three engines
have been ditched and temporarily dis
ablcd. In consequence of these miShaps
trains are delayed and traffic generally
interrupted.
AS usually happens in arid lands the
recent rains in the desert region be-
tween Yuma and Dcming have per-
taken of the nature of clOudbursts.
The tempest breaks with sudden fury
and the rain falls in torrents, swelling
evlV dry rayine into the proportions
of rushing streams. This is why the
tracks have been damaged in so many
places. AT numerous points the entire
roadbcd, to a depth of from two or
three feet, has been washed away.
