ARMS AND LEGS.
STANDISH.

According to the result of many
measurements made at the Anthropo.
logical Laboratory In London, the right
arm In human beings Is, in majority
of cases, longer than the left arm.
while on the contrary the left leg il
longer than the right one. Sometimes,
however. the relative proportions are
exactly reversed, but very seldom does
perfect equality exist between the two
sides. The tendency of the right arm
to exceed the left arm in strength is
somewhat greater In men than In
women, while equality of strength
In the two arms occurs almost twice
as frequently with women as with
men.-The Round Table.

PUZZLE

the birds to nest around the premises
Is to provide them with suitable nest
ing boxes or houses. The sooner I'm
the spring these are put up the more
likely will the. fcathered tenants be
to accept them. Just as soon as birds
come to us in the spring they COM
mence to look for good nesting Sites
There are not nearly as many old hol-
low trees and stumps with holes as
there used to be, and even rail fences,
which contained holes that were Sc
iected for bird homes, are rapidly dis
appearing.
The chief kinds that nest In boxes,
logs or holes are the following: Blue
birds, wrens, chckadees, tit-mice or
tom tits" king birds, pewee and some
other fiy-catchers, martins and swal-
lows, besides the omnlpresent English
sparrows. The latter can easily and
effectually he discouraged by few
well-dlrected charges Of fine shot.
When they find the battle Is against
them they soon learn to avoid the re-
glon in which they are made unwel-
come. We proved this last year by
driving away the English sparrows,
while the song sparrows, bluebirds
and wrens remained and nested.
A few fundamental principles should
guide person in putting up nesting
conveniences. Any kind OF material
may be used that has cavity large
enough to fully contain the nest and
birds. Boxes, kegs, tin cans, skulls of
animals, specially constructed houses,
hollow knots and limbs, and particu-
larry hollow logs may be used. The
logs may be sawed into proper lengths,
the ends boarded up, a hole of proper
size cut and then used as boxes or
houses. The external shape of the
structure is not important to the
birds.
The Interior should be large and
roomy. Small holes or cracks should
be made in the eastern and southern
sides to admit air and light. The light
Is needed for the parents to see to
feed their young, and the air Is neces.
sary for the comfort Of the young birds
in hot weather. There should be bur
one hole large enough for use as n
door. and that should be of size suit.

According to the Pttsburg Dispatch,
n woman who has long been engaged
in a work which Is ret charity with

clares that rich women have the least
appreciation of money values of any
people she has ever known. "They
don't seem to know what money will
do or how much is necessary for a
given end" she said. sometimes,
when case Of need is explained to
them, they will hand out S25 when So
would be ample. Sometimes 1t Is lust
the ether way; they will give So when
S25 is absolutely necessary. One rea-
son for this is that they handle very
little actual cash, and they buy without
asking the price. They can buy any.
thing they like, and run UP any bills
they wish; but you would be aston.

of financial magnates really handle no
cash mt all. Naturally they can't learn
money values under such u system"

INTERESTING QUESTION
TO COME UP IN COURT

Nevertheless thc stand that Cole takes in
the matter and the possible effect of evil
dence given in court by him concerning the
way the confession came 10 be made and
the question of whether il was made Tor
money or not becomes interesting in view
OF the position he has taken
a few days ago it looked as if there
would be nothing to the case except an
easy conviction of both Cole and Howard
upon Coles admissions. Now the case as
sumcs a different complexion. From Cole s
manner il is evident that he will stick to
his determination that his father shall be
paid part OF the $4,000 that seems to be
coming to somebody or fight the case and
make all the trouble nc can.
They can't do any more to me if |
make trouble than they will do any way,
and I'm going to see that they give my
father fair deal or III hand them a
bunch. ! don't care how they use me, but

Cole is quite large man, as is evident
f. m the fact that even with his coat and
vest OFF in jail he looks big and bulky. He
has hard, steady, cold eye, and the look
ont Of it shows him to be just the man for
desperate deeds. 1t is said that his pal,
George Howard, suggested the holdup and
chat may be true. But one look at the two
men instantly proves that Cole was the
man 10 carry the scheme out. 1t took his
hard, cold daring to make the thing

WILL INSIST THAT HIS
FATHER GET PART OF IT

From his talk with representative of
the Inter Mountain this morning it looks
as If he will stick to his demand that his
father be paid part of the reward.
He said in reference 10 this: 1T was
my father that got the confession for
them, and it was he who told me to give
myself up. If it hadn't been for my
father they wouldn't have got me so easy,
and maybe they wouldn't have got me at
all and they sure wouldn't have got the
talk with me.
81 may be bad man. but there are some
of the crookedest stills OF officers and
newspaper fakirs in this town that | ever
heard of. And III tell you right now that
if they don't come through with part of
that reward for my father III stop that con-
fcssion that they're all talking SO much
about. | got a lawyer, and ! know what
I'm talking about. They needn't think that
everything has been said about that con-
fession that ! made that | can say. There's
a lot more 10 it if | want to talk"
Then Cole declared that he would stand
by the proposition that his father be given
part OF the reward on he would throw the
confession down. Whether he can do that
or not is to be seen. 1t is understood that
a number OF people were present when the
confession was made, and that there is cvi-
dence in plenty TO show that it was made

Cole Hints He Has Not
Given All the Facts in
the Holdup.

The latest development in the train hold
up case is the new position assumed by
George Cole, the young highwayman, who
made some sort OF a confession OF the
train robbery and thought he was going
TO sell it to morning paper, on the ques-
ton whether he would plead guilty or not
and stand by the confession.
Cole now says that unless his father
gets a part Of the reward he will not plead
guilty and will fight the case 10 finish.
He is resertful toward the police because
OF their attitude and insists that his father
is entitled to share of the reward. He
said today that unless the latter gets a
generous share of the money he will go
back on the confession he made and make
statements concerning it that may result
in overturning it in court.
At the Jail this morning he limited that
there was more to be told about the con-
fession than has hitherto appeared, and
his talk supported the position taken by
this paper yesterday on the question of
whether or not the confession had been
made by him through some sort of an in
ducement and was competent or incompe-

London, Feb. liking Edward, ac-
companied by Queen Alexandra and sur
rounded by the court and all the officers
OF state, opened parliament this afternoon.
Early in the morning the vaults OF the
houses were searched for imaginary con-
spirators, as usual, by the yeomen OF the
guard, carrying ancient lanterns and use
less halberds. The movements OF the
troops taking up position along the route
of the procession followed, so the crowds
which had been attracted by the fine
weather and desired to witness the royal
pageant did not lack entertainment during
the long wait.
The royal procession consisting Of six
state carriages, escorted by life guards,
left Buckingham palace at 80, p. m.
Their magestes were seated in the last
carriage, which was drawn by the eight
Hanoverian horses which have figured III
all the recent royal ceremonies.
The king and queen reached the Vic
toria tower through the Mall, the horse
guards and white hall. The great officers
OF state, in varied uniforms, were assem-
OF peers to receive the king. The process
sion, which was identified with that OF
the previous similar ceremony, formed

majesties being Immediately preceded by
the sword of state, carried by the Mar

In Ponnp OF Power.
After robing the procession reformed
and, with a blast of trumpets, advanced
to the peers chamber, the duke of Devon
shire, lord president of the council, pre-
cedng their ma estes with the imperial
crown, which he carried on a cushion. The
king then seated himself on the throne,
with the lords bearing the cap of main
tenancc and the sword of state on his
right and left The queen sat on his left
and the prince OF Wales on his right. The
members of the house of commons were
then summoned, and on their arrival the
lord high chancellor, Earl Halsbury, kneel-
ing. handed the king the speech, which his
majesty read from the steps of the throne
as follows:
"My Lords and Gentlemen: My rela-

While the authorities will not disclose
all OF the information that they can pro-
dace, it is certain that they are quite sat
ished that Savoy is pretty good man to
keep for a while. The fact is the officers
seem anxious to lead people to believe
that they have once more picked mp an
innocent man and that Savoy is nothing
worse than common drunk.
Sheriff Thompson, when here yester-
day from Missoula, would say but little
about the matter, but il is understood that
he came after the man for escaping from
Jail and because he was trying 70 leave the
state without paying some bills.
There Is no doubt however, that the
plan is to keep Savoy in Jail until the
Northern Pacific detectives can have time
to do the Sherlock Holmes act and make
a thorough investigation OF the where

his idea Of suing the Miner for the money.
There was quite change in his atti-
tude, but he insisted that he had not been

he would be paid or not. Since the con-

should not be paid for now.
Cole was asked today If the Inter
Mountain had ever tried to buy his con-
fession, or if it had ever faxed an in

"No, sir. The Inter Mountain never

on his own level. They may both be listed
at the same notch for honesty. Just the
same there is no discount on Coles cour-
age. lie may be of the same grade of
honesty as the Miner, but he certainly is
the man to hold up a train.
The young train robber was asked this
morning if he had yet been paid for his
confession by the newspaper named.
I've never got a cent yet. he replied
And then he made the statement that
the negotiations for payment of the $50
that was promised him by the morning
paper were still in the air, and that he
