Survived Dose Of Aikali Water That
Killed Mules
A prominent srmy official tells am
interesting story Of The late Frank e.
Bennett, one OF the most famous
scouts OF the southwest 20 years ago,
says the Baltimore Sun.
Bennett, says tic officer in ques-
tion, "was forced to follow a trail
intothe famous Staked Plain ofTexas,
and, like many Others, lost his way
and wandered four days without food
or water He was 50 long absent that
the commander of the detachment
from which he had been sent was at
last forced to conclude that Bennett,
despite all his wonderful knowledge
Of the country, and his almost super
human power Of endurance, had been
added to the long list of that arid
plains victims.
owe were all sitting around the
camp fires discussing the matter one
night, when suddenly the attention
of one of the group was attracted
by a wraith-like figure coming out of
the shadows some 3Ofeet away.
"'By the Lord Harry, it's Bennett
himselfr shouted one of the men.
But as we arose to our feet the /
shouts of JOY froze on our lips-Ben-
nett, crazed by thirst, had thrown I
himself prone before a pool of alkali .
water, from drinking which two
mules had died that day, and was
tapping it upwith his tonguehanging
out Of his mouth and his breath COM
ing in short, quick gasps like a wind
ed hound.
1T was a dramatic moment. The I
man had been slowly dying for days
for want fwater. and now itappeared /
that water was TO cause his death.
But regular army officers don't
waste time in thinking ofthe dramat-
ic interest Of anything. We pulled |
Bennett away from that pool fighting
like half-staryed hyena. and then
We crammed lard down his throat as
fast as he could take it.
lie didn't die. He simply became /
an animated soap factory for a space
and then he recovered.
"We tainted Bennett after that by !
telling him that his constitution had .
been proved to be harder than that

fer Death to Captivity.
The republic OF Guatemala deco.
rates its coat Of arms, its stamps ans
its official documentswith the pictur.
Of a beautiful parrot. The bird is Of
rich green color, with tufted head
and a long tail, which frequently
grows to a length of four or five feet.
1t is found only in the forests OF
Guatemala. The green parrot or
guetzal, as it is called, has been made
the national emblem Of Guatemala,
Just as the American eagle has become
the national emblem of the United
States
national emblem of the United States.
The Guatemalans, says the New
York Sun, are very proud Of their ma
tional bird, and have written many
songs and poems about it. The par
rot was selected for the national en-
blem because it was found veryhard to
catch, and because tradition says that
when once imprisoned, it always kills
itself rather than remain in captivity.
The Guatemalans say that this bird
which so skillfully eludes capture and
dies rather than surrender is typical
Of their own country and its people.
The quetzel lives in the widest
parts Of the mountains, and never Wis
5ts the neighborhood of the towns or
sities. Theonly parrots ever brought
out Of the forests are caught by the ma
tive Indians.
The parrots are too wary to be
caught in a trap. The Indians first
watch the parrot sometimes for days
at a time until they discover their
haunts. Then they smear the limbs
Of surrounding trees with thick glue.
The parrot perches on the sticky
limb, and is held fast. The natives
remove the bird from thelimbs by the
simple expedient Of cutting off their
feet.
No parrot has ever been brought
from its forest home alive. They
struggle desperately when caught,
and when they find they cannot escape
they kill themselves, so it is declared
The natives say that the birds al
ways commit suicide in the same way,
by pecking at their breasts until the
jugular vein is exposed. A final peck
sewers the artery and the bird quickly
bleeds to death. The quetzel dies,
but never surrenders.
The green parrot stuffed, but it's
feet missing, is to be found in natural
history museums all over the world.
But no one has ever succeeded in keep
ing specimen alive in captivity.

"The spirited, lively horse finds it
hard to stand still at all. He's bob

POplin.

One Of the peculiar industries OF
Ireland which has recently received
a fresh stimulus is the manufacture
Of poplin, a kind of goods in which
silk and wool are so combined that
the silk constitutes the surfaces and
the wool the interior part, The silk
comes from China, but it is all dyed
in Dublin, because they aver in the
Irish capital that there is some quail
ity in the Dublin water which insures
a brilliance and permanence Of color
that has not been attained elsewhere.
