WILD GAME ABOUT EXTINCT.

land Is Weli-Nigh Complete.

Switzerland will soon be entirely
free of wild animals If the rate of ex.
tinctlon that has prevailed of late is
maintained. In the official archives In
Zurich are records of the various
kinds of beasts that once existed in the
land of the red cross. Evidences OF
beaver life have been found on the
shores of Lake Morat. the bones and
skeletons being fully six centuries old.
One of the tributary streams which
feed the lake is called Beaver brook,
the title being due to its former inhab.
itants. That the name is old is shown
by the fact that no beavers have lived
in Switzerland since the twelfth OF
thirteenth Gentry.
Brown bears were plentiful In the
mountain lands until the seventeenth
century. The last one killed of which
there is any official knowledge came to
his end in 1G9S in Barbereche. Nova.
days the bears that are raised in Berne
for various show purposes are import.
cd young from other countries. Deer
We're more than plentiful in the high
lands in olden times, but they were
cleaned out pretty well in las to 1850
There Is n record in the Swiss archives
that deer was seen IN the woods in
1871, but it was apparently far from its
own stamping ground.
Up to the seventeenth century wolves
We're such plaques that several can
tons offered substantial premiums for
their heads and skins. 1t took ages to
chase them off the plains, and fully 100
years more to clean them out of the
highlands. Not live wolf has been
seen in Switzerland since 1887. The
lynx disappeared about the same time.
Wild boars We're numerous in the tif-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, but
none has ben encountered since 1900
a few wildcats are reported to have
been shot since 1891, but the authori-
ties doubt the authenticity of the re-
ports.
Not less than seven prominent kinds
of quadrupeds have been exterminated
in Switzerland in five centuries, not to
mention the world-famous wild goat,
or chamois. a few of these beautiful
animals are raised and kept by the
landlords of some of the leading resorts
to maintain the impression that cham
ois are part and parcel of the Swiss
mountains. But they are domcsticated
and are vastly different from the timid
little animals that nobility used to hunt
and poets rave about.-New York

AN AUDACIoUS BANDIT.
For Years He Levied Tribute on the
Mining Company of Mexico.

The most audacious and magnani-
nous bandit that ever flourished in
Mexico was Eraclio Bernal, who in the
end died a miserable death. Bernal
levied tribute on the mining companies
of Mexico for years. The local authori-
ties were powerlcss against him until
the strong hand of President Diaz inter
vened.
One of Bernars great exploits was
the robbery of the Jocuistita Mining
Company. an American enterprise in
charge of Capt. Rawlings. At ) o'clock
on a fine June morning Bcrnal came
down from the mountains with eighty
men. He placed guards at the mine, the
mining office, the store and other i'm
portant points. After rousing Capt.
Rawlings from bed he assured him that
he was exceedingly sorry to disturb
him ut so unreasonable an hour, but
that his business was of the most ur
gent nature. In the first place, he ask
ed for 5000 in order that his robbers
rob poor storekeepers. AS it happened,
most of the money was spent at the
company's store. Then he explained
that he wanted $4,000. Capt. Rawlings
said that he did not have this. and that
even in week he could not get together
more than $1,000. All he had on hand
was $1,000. This Bernal finally agreed
to take.
When Bernal received his plumber
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1899-05-11

Capt. Rawlings told him that he would
have to account to his employers for
the missing property and asked the
robber If he would not kindly give him
a receipt for it. Bernal cheerfully gave
this. The bandit said that he would
send later for 5000 which Capt. Raw
lings had retained for his workmen.
Bernal explained that his messenger
would bring a request for the money
signed with the bandits secret sign, of
which he gave a specimen to Capt.
Rawlings. The messenger came in due
course.
Bernal's end was miserable. The
robbed mining companies complained
strenuously to President Diaz, who sent
word to Gen. Martinez: Il give you
three months to catch this man. Gen.
Martinez took 1000 soldiers. secured
the mountains, broke up the band and
executed 300 robbers and suspects. For
Bernal dead or alive he offered $4,000.
A rancher named Garcia ran him down
from ambush and shot him through the
back.

There are still n few business men
who do not believe that advertising
pays. These men try printers ink oc-
casionally, and when they find no i'm
mediate results they discontinue the
practice. But advertising is cumula-
tive. 1t must be done regularly,
steadily, persistently and intelllgently,
and If it is done in that way the re-
suits are certain. One thing is abso-
lutely beyond contradiction. and that
is that those who advertise do the bust
ness and that those who do the bust
ness do more advertising.
The favorite argument of the nom
advertising merchant is that he is so
well known to the community, adver-
Using couldn't do him much good; that
the people already know where he is
located and the class of goods he car
ries. Well, take it in Philadelphia.
One would suppose that Wanamaker's
store is well enough known to need no
more printers ink. But during the
month of March John Wanamaker
paid for $40 columns of advertising in
the Philadelphia dailies, the Record,
Times, Press, Ledger, and North
American. That means 16S columns Of
advertising matter in each of five pa
pers-or nearly six columns in each pa
per each day. A page every day in
five papers probably beats all adver-
Using records in the United States. Is
it any wonder that John Wanamaker
is the merchant prince of America?

No man can be always right, but he

There should be good deal of pleas

When what women call dainty" re-

never get enough to eat.
A little gambling game will attract
as many spectators as the ordinary
sermon, and hold them longer.
To agents: If you sell to a man who
does not want TO buy, and who does
not need the article you sell him, it is
robbery.
There are too many of us who imag-
inc that an iron-clad resolution, born
every few hours, Is all there is to being
economical.
No banker could ever succeed in put

her that some day he will tell her the

An Atchison girl feels that she alone

lover is an actor. and every time she
sees him acting the hero, 1t is with an
other woman in his arms.
