Where Four States Meet.

1t is queer to think Of the possibility
of being in four states at once, yet
there is one spot in the United States
the only place ~ the world-where it
is possible. Look on your map of this
country, says the st. Louis Republic,
and you will find an intersection be-
tween two straight lines, where Colo
RADIO. Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
meet
The place is not often visited, as it is
not easily reached. The stone erected
there by the government surveyors is
on top of spur in the Carriso noun
tains. The nearest railroad town is
Mancos, Colo, nearly 100 miles from
the -four corners"
The region about was once densely
populated by cliff jewellers, but now
there are no human beings within miles.

Soapsuds Are Valuable.

Few persons knew how very useful
soapsuds prove when employed as ma
nure. Applied to the roots of vines,
fruit trees, roses, etc, they impart a
vigor and rapidity of growth which
are perfectly surprising. No one who is
so lucky as to have garden should
waste this valuable form of manure.
1t is an excellent plan to have a large
tub and put the soapsuds and dirty
water into it till required upon the
garden

a Menace tn Vessels

The fiction of the mysterious load.

out of ships that approached near
enough has certain foundation in
fact, says the Steele. only the fact has
suffered by expansion. On the coast Of
Norway, near J9dern, there is a sand
dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile
IN length. The sand is mixed with par
ticles of loadstone, and when a ship
comes in the vicinity the compass be-
comes irregular, and the vessel is en-
tangled in kind of whirlpool and

Tea In Kashmir.

There are two ways of preparing tea
in Kashmir. The first is to put the tea
in pot with cold water and boil it for
half an hour, when more cold water is
added, after which it is boiled for an
other half hour. Milk is then added
and it is ready for drinking. The sec
ond is to place the tea in pot with a
little soda and water and boil for half
an hour as before. Milk, salt and but

The Emerald,s Power.

Emeralds from India, Persia and Pc
I'll are the most valuable According
to their tints and their luster, they are
classed as prOsines, nerOnianes and
domitianes. According to Suetonius,
Nero used to look at the fighting gladi-
ators in his emerald. The stone is the
emblem of charity, hope, JOY and album

epilepsy by application and of being an

Iron and Copper,

The world could not get along today
without iron and copper. The entire
loss Of all the gold and silver in the
world would not be nearly SO serious
as would be a sudden exhaustion Of all
the iron and copper, since iron is used
for all purposes of construction, and
copper is an absolute requisite in the
use of electricity to the enormous ex-
tent which now obtains.

Takes Possession of Ranch and En-

Leaving There with the Family Bound
and Gagged, Himself Supplied
Generously and the Hired
Man to Row.

Seattle, Wash, July Harry Ira
cey, the Oregon convict, has again
eluded his pursuers, after a display OF
great daring His last act was to inn
press a farm hand into embarking on
the sound in q rowboat late Saturday,
and at noon yesterday Sheriff Cudihee
chartered the tug Sea Lion and with
a posse started in pursuit. According
to information received at the sheriff s
office here yesterday Tracey slept in a
graveyard ON the outskirts of Seattle
after his battle Thursday night with
Seattle officers. On Friday morning
he proceeded to the ranch of a man
named Fisher, secured food and slept,
and rested in the woods all that day
and night. Early Saturday morning
he appeared at Meadow Point, on the
water front three miles north of Seat
tie, his original point of landing.
Takes Charge of a Ranch.
There he compelled a japanese fish
er boy to row him to Madison Point,
twelve miles across and down the
sound from Seattle. He dismissed the
boy, declaring that the latter would
be killed by Tracey's pal if he told Of
the trip They landed near the home
Of Rancher Johnson, and Tracey
watched the house for an hour to make
sure of the number of men there.
Finding but two he entered and an
nOunced that he intended to kill every
one on the ranch and take charge of
the place for few days. He added:
But after seeing your pretty little
girl | will kill no one if you all mind
me. l will be here all day"
Why He Had to Kill" Two Officers.
The family prepared breakfast for
Tracey and put one plate on a table
against the wall. This is not right, -
declared the convict. Put the table
in the middle of the room and all sit
down with me-" This was done. Ira
cey then read Friday evenings papers,
and after learning how Mrs. Van Horn
had betrayed his presence in her house
to the butcher boy said he had been
careless in not keeping every one in
that house constantly under his eye.
my carelessness in this respect made
it necessary to kill two officers" he
said.
Went Away Well Fixed.
He forced the JohnSOns to give him
a bundle of clothing and hats and six
days supplies of food, cooked for him;
put on Johnson's suit of. Sunday black,
and had the food, clothing and blan-
kets made into bundles. At S p. m. he
bound and tightly gagged the Johnson
family, made their hired man, Ander-
son, carry the bundles to Johnson's
rowbOat, put Anderson in the boat at
the oars and started down the sound.
Mrs. Johnson released herself and the
others two hours later, and notified
Deputy Sheriff Mckay, who lives at
Madison Point. And that is how Sher-
if Cudihee comes to have ''taken wa
ter in this case fifteen hours behind
the man he wants.

kets usually contain four quarts, the
entire package containing about five
