The horse bounded forward and jerking one Of
tho reins out of Wilson's hand dashed furi-

phalted roadway until he reached Ridge street.
There he swerved toward the sidewalk, striking
six.yenr-old David IOtringer Of SO Willett street,
who was riding a velocipede in tho roadway.
The child was thrown on his face, but the little
velocipede saved him from being trampled.
An instant later the buggy collidcd with the
push cart Of n peanut pcddler, and young Lyons,
who was clinging to tho scat. was hurled to the
bad wound over the eye. The boy was taken
later to the Cow erneur Hospital suffering from
conclusion of the brain.
The collision brought the frightened thorough
brcd to O standstill. Winston died before an
ambulance arrived.

PALACE OF THE WITH.
New Wonder Found In the hurled City
Of pOmNeii.

New Wonder Found in the hurled City
of Pompeii.
That treasury Of things interesting to
the archaeologist and the historian--the
buried city of pompeii-has just given
up another of it's secrets. In the district
known as the sixth region of excavation
house has been recently unearthed, so
remarkab BILE for it's beauty and its almost
perfect state of preservation that it is re-
since the work of uncOvering the strange
ly-preserved city was begun.
The palace is the Domus Fittiorum, or
house of the With. and is situated in the
northern part of the city. Inscriptions
on the wallis reveal the fact that the
With were a family of high standing in
Pompeii, whose members held prominent
Of the city. They We're wealthy and
powerful, and both wealth and power
were put forth in the establishment of
the palace which has been so remarkably
kept for the sightseers of a generation
nearly 1900 years after them.
Like most houses of the time, built i'll
accordance with the style Of architecture
building consists of an atrium: entered
from the street by u narrow passage,
and with numerous rooms opening from
it, and Il peristyle or Inner reception
room. with kitchens, sleeping rooms and
other chambers ranged about it. The
perstyle is walled by Gig hteen tluted col
umns, the entablatures above them beau
tifully decorated, and all, both columns
and painting, in a wonderful state of
preservation. In the hall affairs, statua-
~ and tables remain almost as they
were on the fatal day, August -, A. d.
%, when the ashes and lava of Eesu-
vius cut the thread of the busy and luxu-
rious life of the city. Among them four
marble tables have been especially we'll
in several places the little affairs yet sup
port the figures of the gods and god
desses, Jupiter, Venus, Bacchus and
Cupid, to whom they were dedicated. All
the rooms opening from the hall are rich
ly decorated in the manner peculiar to
the Pompeiians, with sculpture and
paintings in colors, which are yet almost
as they were when first laid.
The practice of removing all portable
objects found during the excavation from
the places of their discovery to the Ma
tional museum Of Naples has been dis
continued by the italian government and
steps have been taken to preserve the
home of the With just as it stands. Mar
bles, affairs and sculpture have been left
as they were found. the ashes cleared
away and the house restored as nearly
to the condition of it's time of occupancy
as possible. Over the rooms whose walls
or roofs have been broken by the weight
of dirt and ashes above them suitable
roofing has been put in place, and the
rich decorations of the building are
shielded from the elements by coverings
of glass. And the visitor to old Pompcii
can see still the house of the With as it
was in the wicked and luxurious days
when its people held rank and power in
the now deSOlate city

Salmon-Destroylng seals.

A. X. Peterson, who has been fishing
in the Fraser river, says that the pack of
fish there and in Alaska is large, and that
the cannerymen have really more fish
than they know what to do with. On the
Sound fishing is still going on, and the
amount of second-grade fish packed will
be enormous. Mr.. Peterson says the
fishermen on the Fraser river and in
Alaska attribute the increased amount of
fish caught yearly to the killing off of
the seal herds by pelagic sealing. As
the fish seem to be increasing instead of
diminishing, Notwithstanding the vast
quantities caught, there may be something
in this theory. The hair seals, which
frequent the mouth of the Columbia, eat
salmon and kill lots of them, and proba
bly, the fur seal does the same. A good
healthy seal should eat salmon day,
or two or three of the bluebacks they
catch in the Fraser and in Alaska, and
the immense herds of seal which 60 up
in the Behring sea every year would
consume vast numbers. If the herd Of
sea lions, which have their headquarters
at Seal rocks, Just south Of False Tilla..
nook, were exterMinated, the number of
fat Chinook salmon coming into the CO.
lumbia would b greatly increased,

Princes Christmas Shopping.

Pr1nCeB' InriStm87 shopping.
Writing of "Christmas with an Emper-
Or" Nagel Won Brave gives this inter-
esting description in the December La
dies Home Journal of the ceremonies at
tendant upon the great feast day in the
German palace: ''The royal children
have exchanged gifts chosen with much
solicitous deliberation at a well-kn0Wn
toy shop. Anyone happening to be in
the shop at the time might have seen the
Empress enter with her children, each
provided with his own purse, and com
pleting his purchases aside so that the
others might be surprised. The younger
three princes demanded the advice of
their mother in their selections. The
princes investigated everything, but upon
inquiring the price generally found it too
dear. Three marks for this bookrack!'
and with glance into his purse, no,
that is too expensive. 1 haven't over IS
pfennigs. What can you give me for
that price?' And the shopgirl proceeds
to show the princes something quite nice
for the required amount.
But now the brothers and sister have
excha ngcd thanks for their gifts; the first
impetuosity of the Christmas rejoicings
has given place to a more tranquil exam
;nation and inspection, and ladies and
gentlemen of the court have made the
rounds in a general state of admira-
ton. Lackeys prepare Il collation. in the
midst of the gifts, for which, however,
the young people find no time. 1t fares
with them as with all healthy children
in the excitement attendant on Christ
mas eve, for they are healthy and genu-
inc German children. The Christmas eel
ebra ton in the Shell salon, the excite
ment and the rejOicings have produced
their natural reaction on them, and at 8
o'clock even the elder princes are abed."
