MADE COMPANIONS BY. PERIL,
Wild Beasts Herd Together to Escape
Q Forest Fire.


. Forest Fire.
An incident OF the forest fires In the
hills Of the Descanso ncighborhood,
in southern California, illustrates the
comradeship that common peril brings
about among beasts as well as among
men. After the flames had completed
their work Of destruction and spread a
pail over the hills, rancher went
forth among the charred stumps and
smoking brush heaps to look for q
number Of cattle ard colts which he
feared had been hemmed in by the
fire. He went across gully and ridge
In his search, until at last he saw his
stock some little distance ahead. He
was more than astonished upon COM
ing up to the group to end not only
his cattie and colts, but q deer, three
wildcats, coyote, and several rab-
bits all alive and apparently in no
fear OF him. They watched his ap-
rrosch with Indifference, the timidit7
gone from the big-eyed deer, no VEN
ON N the Wildcats purr, and honesty
shining in the gray coyotes face. The
rabbits sat on their launches, as meek
as the pets of children. But the poor
coyote was in pain, and as the farmer
came close the erstwhile robber Of the
roost dragged his helpless hind-quar-
tiers toward the man In mute suppl
cation. The legs OF the animal had
been frightfully burned. The rancher
was In, no mood to make friends Of
such strange creatures, and at once
drove his stock through the smolder-
Ing brush, the deer going along with
the cattle, the rabbits hopping along
at the ranCher's heels, the wildcats
slouching along behind, and the coy
ote, unable to follow, whining q pa
thetic appeal for succor. When the
burning field was passed tie deer
broke into run for the distant hills,
the rabbits were away like flash, and
the old defiance ard snarling leer
came back to the Wildcats, who
scorned to make q show Of haste.

MRS JEFFERSON DAVIS.

as they press toward the foamin8
yellow river. She almost breathes
again the piny, smoky fragrance Of the
air. She remembers how the thought
came to her to disguise her husband.
He had protested, and she urged him
with tears. Her arms chung around his
neck, leaving her long cloak on his
shoulders. 1t had brought him shame
and ridicule. 1t had hurt his soldier
pride. But she remembered that he
had worn it for love of her. She can
think of that now in the shadows.
Mrs. Davis life has been peaceful
enough these later years. The war
fever ran its terrible course with no
further tragedies to her well-beloved,
and through the halls of her beautiful
home little feet battered and a sweet
young voice called. Winnie, the young
est daughter, grew in beauty like a
flower, and Jefferson Davis forgot de-
feat in love for her. When the lead
er Of the lost cause died the mother
and daughter became inseparable COM
panions. Mrs. Davis could not afford
to grow old and leave Winnie without
comrade. But the daughter died
about year ago, and now the wife
and mother Is homesick and waiting
anxiously for the summons from her
husband and her little girl.
II used to think heaven must be

Oldest Lighthouse.

The oldest lighthouse in existence is
believed to be that at Corunna, Spain.
1t was built in the reign Of Trajan end
reconstructed in 1894. England and
France have lighthouses which have
been built by the Roman conquerors.
The famous Cordovan tower of France,
at the mouth of the Gironde. in the
bay of Biscay, was completed in 1911,
in the reign of Henry w. After stand
ing 2S7 years it was still considered to
be one Of the best lighthouses in the
world, although its height has been
increased.

WHERE WIVES TRIUMPH,

In the Philippines the law which re-
lates to the property OF married peo-
pie is entirely In favor of the wife.
Any property bride may possess Is
never by any chance settled upon the
husband, and If he'4s poor and she
well Off, he can only become at most
an administrator of her possessions.
After death, unless she has executed
a deed in her husbands favor, under
a lawyers eye, the property goes to
her children and blood relations, but
none to her husband.
A married woman retains her maid
en- name and adds to it that Of her
husband with the prefix de" and the
children bear the names Of both par
ents.
The husband symbolically endows
the bride with all his worldly posses.
sions after the marriage. In fact, it is
clearly a case in the Philippines Of
whats yours is mine and what's mine
is my own" as far as the women folk
are concerned.

The duke Of York, who Is now about
IS years of age, and in direct line to
the throne of England, is a most con-

is a collector, and, Of course, has a

not compare with any other noted al
buns In Europe, but then he is royal

PROFITABLE
Undertaking Is the State Railway System

ia 4SOABsNAn1s
The state railway system of Bel
gium Is estimated as the most profit
able commercial undertaking, both TO
the government and to the people,eVef
promulgated In Europe. It consists OF
$500 miles, of which 1000 are govern
ment property. It's profits more than
pay the entirs interest on the Belgium
national debt. The Belgian railways
have been the making Of the nation,
as from comparatively insignificant
agricultural commonwealth 1t has late
ly developed into humming bee hive
of commercial activity.
Other European governments own
railways, although in no case has the
experiment proved 80 successful as IN
Belgium. Germany, in addition to
large quantity Of stock in the railway
world, has created the North Sea ca
nal, France, Holland and Russia are
also largely interested in their own
railroads. OF purely departmental
workings the British post is by lar ths
most profitable in Europe.
