BY A BORDER OUTLAW.
Murder of Judge Fierror
Charged to Pedro Morales.

San Diego, Cal, Nov. 25.-The murder
of Leardo Fierror, judge of the Alamo
district in Lower California, is report
crime is laid at the door of Pedro
Morales, the border outlaw, who is
wanted on both sides of the line for al
most every crime from murder down.
Morales was away from his haunts near
the line at the time the crime was COM
mitted and the fact that he had threat
ened some sort of punishment for
Fierror, gives color to the claim that
he handled the revolver or rifle that
ended the judges life.

busting With a Hose.

The waiting room of the Broad street
station is busted by compressed air
every Saturday morning.
An hour after midnight an immense
step ladder, mounted on wheels, is
pulled into the waiting room and a. long
hose is attached to pipes which con-
meet with the reservoir of compressed
air used to supply locomotives.
The expert dUster mounts the ladder,
takes the hose in hand and merely
points it at dusty place; the wind
does the rest.
Two fellow worBmen push the lad
der truck from place to place, the air
is turned on here, there and every
where until walls, ceiling, frieze, col
umns, windows, seats-every nook and
Granny, in fact, of the great waiting
place-are thoroughly purged of dust,

few hours by three men could not be

Shetland Ponies


The useful little animals known by
the name of Shetland ponies must be
rs well liked in America as on the
fother side of the sea, for a writer re-
peats an assertion that has been made
20 the effect that there are more Shet-
land ponies In America than in the
shetland Islands. The American po-
MES are all thoroughbreds, bred in this
country from the pure Shetland stock.
The ponies are not found in all the
shetland Islands. The largest, Main
land, together with Bressay, Tetlar,
4 yell. INST and Fair Isle are the homes
OF these sturdy, diminutive horses
The origin of the ponies is not known,
but there is a tradition that some of
their finer points have been inherited
from the Spanish horses which were in
the admiraps stud when the Spanish
Armada sailed around in those waters
The size Of these little animals is I'M
doubtedly to be attributed in some
measure to the hardness of their lives
,"On the islands, as their good temper is
70 the fact that they are brought up
with the children and dogs of the poor
Shetland islanders. The islands have
q barren soil, and a high, rocky coast,
and the strong winds are chilly and
penetrating. The ponies are turned out
to shift for themselves in winter. They
live on the heather but are sometimes
reduced to seaweed, and it is said have
been known to eat dead fish. Only the
best Of the ponies survive, and they
have become the hardy race we so
much admire.
They are put to work as soon as they
are large enough, and carry load of
peat equal to half their own weight.
The load is in big cassies, or baskets,
strapped on either side of strong pack
saddles. There are not many of the
ponies; it is said not more than IL or
500 on all the islands. Within the last
lew years the small stations have been
sed to some extent in the low coal
veins in the mines of England and
Scotland, where no other animal can
do the work.

Loneliness and Health.

A medical journal has of late been
dlscoursing on the Indigestion of lone
illness, says the Baltimore Sun. BY this
title is meant to be indicated the dis
orders of digestion which are believed
to follow the practice of taking ones
meals in solitary state. The topic is
by no means an undressing one.
Thousands of men and women living
alone are compelled to take their meals
for the most part without company.
Week in and week out they feed them
selves without a soul to talk to, and the
medical journal devotes its energies
to showing that the practice is not one
that is likely to be conducive to di-
gestion, to proper bodily nourishmcnt
or to health. The solitary man soon
tires of merely eating, and if he is not
of literary turn of mind his tendency
is to hurry through his meal to escape
from his loneliness into the society of
his fellow-men. Herein, it is held,
lies a danger to health

with a Frying Pan.

= Mrs. Seton-Thompson in her camp
ing experience, entitled "a Woman
Tenderfoot," confesses that in the be-
ginning of her Rocky mountain life
she regarded rattlesnakes as only one
kind of disagreeable reptile. One day
she was riding in advance of her hus-
band. She says:
Suddenly there came a noise like
c61ried peas in pod, and gliding across
arple road was a huge rattlesnake.
s,Whiskers, my pony, performed a flank
movement, SO nearly unseating me that
I deemed it expedient to drop to the

"One Of the marks OF a degenerate
child Is failure 10 get along with
other children In school Simple shy
ness, or cowardiee, or self-concelt and
vanity may exist Even as children
the insane deluslons that they arc per-
secuted or oppressed by other boys or
the teachers become frequent and an.

grow older. AS these children grow
up 10 be Is or 20 years OF age. these
mental traits increase. They are never
able to hold any business position any
length OF time, being incapable OF
working continuously or giving salts
faction to the most kind-hearted en-
ployer. After being discharged by
every employer, and being very deserv-
eddy desplsed by society, they naturally
drift into the ranks of the feeble-mlnd
ed anarchists and are easily worked
upon to do the bidding or follow the
suggestions Of the stronger intellects.
TO kill a ruler to avenge the sup
posed injuries Of society Is the sim
plest sort Of a mental conception. Sane
as individuals, mankind in large num-
bers is more or less hysterical,
and always markedly suggestible when
the individuality Is swallowed up In

ways been common, and the only diff
ference between them has been in the
subject Of the mental delusion that
has shown itself as a mental epidem-
ic. In the time OF the Crusades. for
two centuries people were drawn by
an irresistible longing towards the
holy sepulchre, and journeyed there
frs as pilgrims, later as soldiers. In
the 18th and 10th centuries men went
wild over tneir belief in witchcraft
In 1884 the Dutch developed a craze
for buying and specializing in tulips.
In 1920 the famous South Sea bubble

tai contagion when humiliation of the
existing order is suggested. It is no
longer a question of reasoning, but Of
following the common hysterical words
passed from one to another.
IAN anarchist, therefore, resembles
and yet differs from the criminal and
the lunatic. Undoubtedly, he belongs
to the borderland of cases Of mental
abnormality, where the 'neuropath'
and 'psychopath,' which are the scien-
tifc words for nervous and mental
wrecks, take their positions.
What to do with him is a different
proposition, and one of the most diff
cult questions of the day. To prevent
the mental contagion, the passing of
the dangerous suggestion, segregation
and breaking up their headquarters
form the only remedy. AS an individ-
ual, the anarchist is comparatively
harmless; as class, he is the most
dangerous element of modern society,""

Overhead & bright blue sky. TIE
trees swayed IN the soft breeze. while
the bees and insects hummol and
droned a tender MONDAY lullaby 20 al
nature. A little stream purled lazily
along and then made quite q dash, as
though TO make up for lost time.
Across the hot sand OF the road
great humble bee guided his awkward
body He must have been very
sleepy humble bee. for he bumped his
head and yellow-striped body against
a large tree-bump-buzz-bu-zz--
buzz-and he was on his back making
his wings work very fast. as though
no was trying to fly on his head.
He was choked with the sand. the
accident had been terrible TO him.
Soon he ceased struggling, and the
fuzzy legs and black hips stood up In
the air-still--no longer protesting
against fate.
Now, during these struggles,
small, red ant had been wisely wait
ing to know the result. A live bum
BILE bee singing away in the air was
one thing. but a dead bee on the
ground was something else altogether.
A few moments passed. and still no
achievement. The humble bee was
evidently dead.
The ant, with the true instinct of
her kind Of putting by for q rainy
day" quickly approached the fallen
prize, and, with her tiny feelers and
legs went to work with a will
Gracious! how that little red ant
Worked-never stopping to think she
was trying to carry something many
times her size; but pulled away, now
as a straw lay across her path, and
again attempting to lift her burden
over a dead leaf, or forcing 1t through
a forest Of moss.
She would stop every now and then
to rest; then she would look all
around the great body, wondering
what she was going to do with it
when she got it home
A big ant roaming around looking
for his dinner espied the little red
ant and her bee. and instantly con-
GLIDING that might was right" he
shortened the distance between him
self and the feast. The little red ant
paused. What should she do? She
had tried hard to do her work brave
ly, not calling for help, though her
burden was heavy. Now here was a
foe to face.
The black ant came nearer and
the red ant ran away as fast as her
small legs could carry her.
DESERVING her work? Well, It
looked like it.
Oh, my little red ant, don't give
up because 1t is hard-go back!
The little red ant knew what she
was about however In two minutes
she had collected a small army of re-
lations-back they all came-by twos
and threes and dozens-some so eager
that they tried to walk over the backs
of those in front
The big black ant was getting un-
easy, and really did not want that
humble bee, any way!
Each red ant had his own work.
Some went to help with the bee,
while others drew themselves around
the now vanquished enemy, and not
until the bee was quite safe in the
ants nest did the black prisoner OBJ
tain his freedom.
The bee safely stored, the ants did
not even stop to admire their own in
dustry, but went to work at something
else. What would you have? Do you
