n LAND OF p

Traveller Surprised at Number of Per-
sons Who Had Claims Upon Him.
A traveller who has been all oyer
Europe believes that the villagers of
the Alps Guido all other people in the
unhappy business of tips and fees.
| Relating his experiences in the Detroit
Free Press, he says that when he was
leaving Chamouni he gave fees to the
ehamber-maid, the waiter, the porter,
theheothlaeck -the-coak, the-nmpibus
drivers, the mail carrier and all the
bell boys. Then the landload approach
ed and suggested that he had been left

But | was your guest"
True; but if you will remember, |
| received you with three distinct bows,
where only one is required by custom.
1t Is two bows extra, monsieur"
The traveller had just paid ten cents
apiece for the bows, when the coroner
appeared.
But where do you come in?'
Had monsieur met with a fatal fail
ON the mountain, l should have held
the inquest"
The coroner got a franc. Then his
| clerk came forward, and said:
And had there been an inquest, |
should have had the pleasure of writ
ing to mOnsieur's relatives that, unfor-
tunately, he was dead"
The traveller handed him a coin, and
then, to be done with the business
asked If there was anybody else in
Chamouni who had a claim.
"The police have not arrested you"
said the landlord.
"AIl right; here's a tip for them.
Any one elseT"
my night-watchman did not let the
hotel take fire"
The traveller left a tip for the faith

tipped all the railway officials, and con
sidered himself fortunate in having
money enough left to get him out OF
the country.

A PANTHER'S DEN,
Clean and Bright, in Decided ContrI ast
to the Popular Idea.

Clean and Bright, in Decided Contrast
to the Popular Idea.
1t was my good fortune to discover
the newly abandoned lair of a cougar
family, and further, and to me NEW,
evidence of that fastidious cleanliness
| which Is a marked characteristic of the
animal, says a writer in Outing. This
retreat was not at all the Typical
s'panther's dem of tradition. but
r2bush-
Of a rock with just enough of shelf 10
keep off the rain. l should not have
found this breeding place but for a Ger
tain well-gnawed array of bones SCAT
tered owe a little smooth bench above a
creek channel. From this boneysrd
there was a very traceable path leading
through grass and brush to the reVeat
where the dam had housed her yorng'
The evidence here told plainly of the
cougars long immunity from annoy
ance and attack and OF a thoroughly
clearly habit of life. There was no
bone or other sign of feasting about the
lair. The dam had carried her kill TO
the creek bench In every instance, snd
the children had been called to the ON
ing room. AS bones which would have
been crunched or eaten by grown fni-
mails had been perfectly cleaned by the
kits, 1 was able to judge of their sim
mer's diet. This had consisted mostly
of minor game. rabbits, marmots,
grouse and the like, with an occasional
small deer. At least one whole far1-
lily of badgers, old and young, had been
served, pussy having probably lain or
them at their hole until they were allin.

tor Is divided and insulated, receiving
the current from one wire and return
ing 1t to the other after 1t has passed
through the motor to drive the wagon.
The reason for using a return wire par
allel with the power wire is to avoid
possibility of shocks to the driver when
standing beside the wagon and in CON
tact with 1t, which might prove danger
u II the return current passed to the
earth after use. By gearing the driving
shaft low very heavy loads could be
transported with comparatively little
expense for current, and as there ard no
heavy storage batteries Oh power Gen
orators aboard there is plenty of room
in the wagon for the loading of prod
uce, etc. Daniel S. Bergin, of Chicago,
Is the inventor.

PnInne for Consumptives.

One of the reasons why Mexico is TAX
ing the lead as a health resort is that
the national intoxicant of Mexico,
pulque, made from the agave, or cen
fury plant, is n of the best remedies
in cases of asthma and consumption
known. Unfortunately, pulque is only
good when freshly fermented, and will
not bear transportation, and for that
reason one has to go to Mexico to drink
It. The value of pulque in consump-
ton was discovered several years ago
by American invalids, who went to
Mexico for their health, and who were
almost cured by drinking small quaint
ties of liquor at stated intervals. 1t is
now recommended by physicians to all
persons troubled with pulmonary com
plants.

Terry caught the little, sobblng, tor
tured creature In his arms and pressed
his face tightly against her fair bead.
Then he pulled GU his handkerchief
and wiped her eyes.
"Dodo, my sweetheart, listen to me
Mummy is quite safe-no one is going

in his speech, and then went on boldly.

~trustfully. She knew that her darling
Terry would make things right.
"Dodo, sweetheart, I want you to
promise me this: that you will try and
forget all that you have told me, and
never mention 1t to anyone, and that
you will be very good to mummy, and
love her with every bit of love in your
warm little heart. Promise me this,
dear"

He stopped and kissed with a so.
lemnity that awed her-it did not seem
a bit like her old laughing Terry. But
she felt that never had she loved him
as she did now.
my little good angelo said the
young fellow, with an odd break In his
voice. GO and play with the others.
I'm going to have another smoke"
She kissed him and chung to him with
a tenderness and trust that moved him
deeply.
There is nothing to trouble you now,
dear. l will make it all straight"
She went away obediently and quite
c~ontentedly. He watched the slender,
white figure until it vanished; then he
turned away with a mist In his eyes.
And he was miles away the next
morning when his brief farewell was
taken up to Mrs. Garth And after
wards she thanked God that she had
been saved at the eleventh hour; for
the future held much happiness for
her, and the deep, trusting love of
Dodo's father won hers, SO long with

SOLID AIR RESlSTS N

While it is known that air can be
made solid as well as liquid, up to ne
present comparatively few experiments
have been made in this direction. A
scientist recently converted a cert IN
quantity of liquid air into a snail
solid mass, and on examining 1t fond
it was as transparent as clear ice, nd
as elastic as rubber. To test its e3s-
ITCHY he struck it with a hammer, 20
the latter immediately rebounded. Tht
solid air may prove to be of comnir-
cial value is the opinion of some scfn-
lists in Germany, but it is admitted
that many more experiments will nave
to be made before any certainty IN
this point can be arrived at.

NOW IT'S HORSElESS vEHICLESE
FOR THE FARMERS Us

The inventors seem to be striving
faithfully TO relieve the horse of ali the
heavy hauling which 1t has in the past
been called upon to perform. The latest
thing along the line of horseless fehi-
cles is the farmers trolley road, which
will make it possible for the raiser of
produce to go to town with his load,
dispose of it and return home without
the aid of his team, the electric current
being the medium of the apparatus
shown In the illustration.
The inventor contemplates the install
lation of private lines by the farmers
in a certain locality, or the rental of
electric service from u of the subur-
ban trolley companies which now cover
the country around every large city. AS
will be seen, an electric motor Is placed
on the wagon, and power Is obtained
from the overhead wire, the connecting
pole having a flexible adjustment to
overcome all inequalities in the road

FOR THE MINER
Pollock Proposes Ad-
ditionaI Safeg yards
IN ALL OHIO MINES
Mine Bosses and Inspectors
According to the New Bill,
Must Prove Themselves
Competant.

Representative Pollock, Of this coun-
ty, will introduce two bills the fore
part Of next week which will seek tC
place additional safeguards about those
who are employed in the mines Of the
state.
The present laws regulating the
operation of mines are very lax in
some respects, and the miners are de-
manding that they be supplemented by
legislation which will afford them bet
ter protection both to life and health
One measure will provide for better
system of ventilation in mines, and the
other will provide that mine bosses and
inspectors, upon whose judgment fire..
quently the lives of the miners de-
pends, shall have had certain amount
of actual experience and must possess
the requisite qualification before they
may be permitted to ofiiciate in theil
several capacities.
Many of the accidents in the mines
are due to the negligence and incom-
potency of mine bosses, and this Is
what it is proposed to provide against
in one of the bills. Both measures
have the endorsement of the state mine
inspector.

DECLARED VALID
Riches Suit Against the Es-
tate is Dismissed by An
Akron Court.

Akron, March 2s.--Probate Judge
George M. Anderson yesterday decided
the case involving the legality of the
will of the late Thomas w. Cornell.
Cornell, who died nearly ten years
ago, was three times a millionaire,
and his will was not questioned until
few months ago, when Samuel j.
Ritchie, who has been in a great deal
Of litigation with the Cornell estate.
and with Mr. Cornell himself previous
to his death, brought suit to declare
it invalid. He asserted that It was
never signed by Mr.. Cornell. that 1t
was fraudulently signed and probated,
that the alleged witnesses never saw
the will, that some of them were
bribed, and that illegal fees had been
taken by the executors. He also
claimed that stock belonging to him
had been unlawfully transferred to
Judge Stevenson Burke, of Cleveland.
The three executors were Charles
Baird, William McFarlin and John q.
Wright, Mr.. Baird being the only one
living at present.
Judge Anderson dismissed the case,
declaring that there was mot shad-
ow Of case in Mr.. Ritchies charges.
