The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-09-26

An extraordinary sensation was pro-
duced in Lisbon, recently by the dis
covery that an old woman named
Casilda, a reputed witch, was kid
naping little children, and, after TAX
ing them to her home in a slum, was
gashing their hands and collecting
their blood in a bucket. There is an
old superstition that blood from the
hands of children between the ages of
and three is an infallibIe ingre-
dent in love-potions, and it was for
this purpose that Casilda was making
her horrid brew. 1t is asserted that
the police, in arresting the witch, OBJ
tanned evidence which indicates more
than one lady of good society as
among her clients.

Ministers Death.
While Sir William Kirby Green was
the British minister to Morocco he
was suffering both from a stroke of
paralysis and from an affection of the
heart. Hall Game dramatically de-
scribes the closing incident of his dip
lomatic career. Day after day Sir
William met Mulai Hassan to discuss
with him the Cape JUDY claims, and
every time the business was put off.
Sir William was a man of temper, and
the delay irritated him. At length in
the midst of one of his ~ceremonious in
terviews with the sultan, while Mulai
Hassan smiled and waved his hand,
and insisted that the business could
wait till tomorrow, Sir William lost
all command of himself, and broke in
on his majesty's dismissal with these
words: my lord, listen. You do not
know what you are doing, but / will
tell you. You are killing me. Yes,
and any of these days l may fall dead
at your feet. | might fall dead at your
feet now. And if that should happen,
remember n thing, my lord, my coun-
try will call you to account" Mulai
Hassan listened, and spoke not a word.
No mar had ever addressed him thus
before, and his viZier and ministers
and troops of servants. who bowed and
crouched before him, had heard it all.
His fine black face twitched slightly,
and he said: Let me finish the bust
ness Immediately" 1t was settled then
and there. In the middle of that night
Sir William died. When the news of
his death was brought to the sultan
fear seemed to take possession of him.
1t was evident that he remembered the
words the minister had addressed to
him the day before. Possibly he was
glad that ne mad at least finished the
business that had brought Sir William
so often into his presence.

W. s. CORWIN

Fruit growers in Southern California number many, but such fruit growers as Mir. w. s. Corwin are indeed scarce in any country. His orchard and vine yard at Highlands are among the very best in San Bernardino county, presenting not only an object of rare beauty, but they are managed in way which makes them money winner to the own CT. MT. Corwin already has a tract of land under the Imperial canal system, but being one of those far seeing men who know good thing, he is not satisfied with one claim, and is now here with his daughter for the purpose of securing another track of land, and it goes without the saying it that the Corwin places will be of best in the valley. Through the courtesy of this gentleman We are now feasting on some of the de- licious fruits from his Highlands ranch.

HOGS IN ARIZONA

HE farmer who produces his own meat and bread on his farm may defy the pork and four combines, but woe unto the shiftless farmer who de- pends upon others to produce his food for him, it is hc who pays the piper. It stands the farmers that are bringing this land under cultivation, in hand to make preparations at once by which he can provide his meat as well as his bread. Tn the Salt River valley, where conditions are almost identical to this valley. the hog industry is today n success. Regarding the industry in that valley the Arizona Republican says: Not many years ago the major ity of the people in Arizona thought that there never could be a profit in swine-culture in this territory. Indeed, few ranches who tried hog raising aba ndoned the attempt and gave over their time to cattle and alfalfa. For a long time the few hogs that existed in this valley ran almost wild, not consid- cred worth their feed. Finally change came. Some wise rancher brought ont few fine blooded pigs and went at the industry in the proper manner. He fed his hogs on alfalfa until fat enough for market. then he hardened them on barley and produced the finest pork that had ever been seen in the city. Other ranchcrs slowly took up the industry, and today there are hun dreds of ranches in this valley where the swine herd is bringing the best returns of anything on the ranch, and at the sa me time is swelling ali such rate that il promis ses to drive out many of the other functions of the farm. Within the past year there has been steady growth in the favor in which the hog business is held, and many ranchcrs, who at one time could see no money in pigs, now prophecy that the hog is soon to bc a big factor in the business of this valley. There has been a heavy demand for the past three months for hogs, and by the purchase of q cow or two and good boar, many a raucher has sta rted d business which will grow with startling rapidity.

WIZ see again in one of our eastern exchanges the statement that "the stories about there being no cases of surstroke in California are not true, i" and then goes OH to relate case in order to refute the idea. We have only this to say: We have never yet seen d case of sunstroke in California. We have seen cases that the physicians called sunstroke, but, had they inves- tigated little closer they would have diagnosed the case as "whiskystroke." !" That is, the patient filled up his hide with bad whiskey and then went out into the hot sun. The combination proved too much for the poor fools brain, added it and he very properly died.

PIT ANIMALS


 way to develop the humane instincts of people in general. Like other prac tices, however, this one is good only when it is moi abused, as it frequently Is. When one considers the number of miserable little beasts yearly trap. ped, captured, and bred in cages for the amusement of mankind, it seems as fl some better method of amusement might be devised.
 Of course, there are people who make friends and companions of their pets, and although nobody can be absolutely certain about animal psychology, it may be that the dog, horse or bird de. rives an amount of pleasure from con. tac' with the superior mind which more than repays the loss of freedom. In the case of highly bred dog or sad. dle-horse it is almost certain that this is so. But these are in the minority when the whole number of domesticat. ed animals is considered
 In the first place, it is certainly cru city to take a wild creature out of its natural environment and place it in d cage where it can have little exercise, no natural compa nionship, and often no suitable food. Ii is entirelg possi. ble for people living in a country town or small village to tame squirrels, birds and other wild things without in the least interfering with their free. dom, if they choose to use little pa. tience. Most wild animals will come where they are not afraid of being hurt. The red squirrel can be coaxed to come from his hole and eat corn from the hand of human being, and birds of all kinds are easily tanned in the same way. One who has once en- joyed the delight of winning the conf dence of the wood-folk will never again wish to keep them in d cage.
 The animal which is bred for the purpose of domestication, like the lap dog, the Persian cat, the white mouse, or the canary, is usually inferior in intellect to the wild animal, for the very good reason that it does not need as much brains to be fed, petted and put to sleep as to get ones living in the midst of throng of enemies. There are two ways, however, in which the keeping of these animals can be made really beneficial to children and adults; one is by making companions of them, developing all the intelligence they have, and the other is by choosing pets of d sort whose intelligence is al ready con nsiderable. Children should be encouraged to be kind to their pets md to make friends with them, and this cannot be done unless there is in- telligence on the other side. If the and well-being of the animal is studied it will be good for the master d $ we'll as the pet, for altruism gener- ally works in that way but candor will m )st people to admit that nothing of the kind is usually done.

TO PROTECT CONSUL BAiz.
United States Entered Protest With
Venezue an Government.

Washington. March 19.-The state
department, through Minister LoUmfs.
recently lodged vigorous protest to
the Venezuelan government against
further Interference with Mr.. Baiz,
the United States consular agent at
Barcelona, Venezuela. 1t knows moth
ing of the last reported infringement
of his liberty, but it is presumed that
the affair is connected directly with
the troubles which led to the first
protest. Ignatio M. Baiz is not a citi-
zen of the United States, a fact that
may add to the difficulty which our
government will experience in pro-
tecting him, as it is determined to do.
He was born in ST. Thomas and is a
Danish citizen SO far as is known
here, but having an exequatur issued
by the Venezuelan government rec
ognizing him as United States con-
sular agent, the state department has
decided that he is entitled to the pro-
lection of the United States govern
ment.
1t appears that he is engaged in
business and became involved in trou-
bic with Venezuela military by resist
ing an attempt to collect a forced loan
from him. More than a month ago
the state department forwarded its
instruction to Minister Loomis to rep
resent to the Venezuelan government
that these annoying interferences
with our officials must cease, but so
far no results have appeared
