ried to Mr.. Kahn for 81 years. She
had a large family Of girls, some OF
them married; also a number OF grand
children.
Mrs. Kahn was well liked and re-
spected by everybody who knew her,
as well as BY the community in gen.

the large attendance Of friends dur

also at her funeral. She succumbed
after an illness OF three weeks, and
neither medical skill or the very best

May she rest in peace.

Edward L. S~anderson, who during
two years residence received many
kindnesses from New Mexico people,
has proven an migrate. In a long let
ter to the Detroit Free Press he tells
a number of deliberate untruths. For
example. he says. If New Mexico were
admitted to statehood there would be
a race war worse than any that ever
occurred in the south. Not only is that
a lie, but Sanderson knew il was a
lie when he wrote it. To many fools
who come TO New Mexico imagine i
is necessary for them to create a sen
sation about the uncivilized west when
they go back east among the
prejudiced and gullable. Sandersor
came to New Mexico and saved his
life. He goes back to dam the country
and its people. A proper spirit, to b.
sure. just another case Of the snake
that bit the hand of its benefactor.

LIE IN oLD-TIMe CEMETERY.
Al. In Montana Graveyard Died "with
Their Boots On"


Near Billings. Mont. is an old-time
cemetery which contains but fifty-two
bodies. yet the cemetery is a remark
able one. in that every person buried
there died with his boots on"
The graveyard Is an old one, and the
memory of It almost passed from
the memory of the rising generation.
1t is one of the pioneer institutions of
the state. and to the minds of the old
timers brings many recollecuons.
There is not headstone in the GEM
etery: II there were any they were
wood and have gone the way OF all
the world. II is doubtful even wheth-
er any of the bodies buried there were
encased in collins
Montana was territory when this
cemetery was started: the originator
of the place was a gambler known
throughout the West as "One-Arm
BILL" who conducted several games in
the little town that at the time oc-
cupied the site near here.
"One-Arm Bill" is believed to have
been the originator of the expression
private graveyard" and II is certain
that he did his best to increase the
population of his. OF the fifty-two
men buried there old-timers claim that
more than half were slain by Bill. who
was noted as a dead shot.
The rest OF the occupants Of the lit
tie city of the dead were men who
were killed in brawls ana by accidents
men who died literally with their
boots on.

ground had almost been forgotten

KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON.

mics Of Mankind.

mics OF Mankind.
Artillery charged with grapeshot
has been employed to destroy great
fortresses which the termites, or war
rior ants, have made in many tropical
countries.
In South Africa the termites work
enormous havoc. They live in re-
public of their own. and some of them
have wings. The workmen. the sol
diers and the queen. however, have
none.
The workmen construct their build
ings, the soldiers defend the colony
and keep order, and the females, or
queens. are cared for by all the others.
These become in point of fact, mere
egg laying machines which have to re-
main tied to one spot.
Their nesting homes are often
twenty feet high and pyramidial in
shape. Cattle climb upon them with
out crushing them. A dozen men
can find shelter in some OF their
chambers and native hunters often
lie in wait inside of them when out
after wild animals.
The ants construct galleries which
are as wide as the bore of a large
cannon and which runs three or four
feet underground.
The nests are said to be five
hundred times as high as the ants
body. and it has been estimated that
II we built our houses on the same
scale they would be four times as
high as the pyramids of Egypt.

view there has been recently devised
the scrubbing brush shown in the cut.
which has not only she advantage of
covering a great deal OF floor space
as It moves along. but the action OF
its bristles on the floor is increased
as rotary motion is impaired to 1t
as well as the back and forth motion.
This feature is said to decrease the
labor of scrubbing by half Another
advantage is that It does Its work
without the necessity of bring the
operator onto his or her hands and
knees.
The scrubibng brush has two long
handles, one of which Is held In each
OF the operators hands. The handles
are pivoted to a post on top of the
brush head. and by means of rack
and pinion arrangement carried on the
upper part of the brush head the
brush is given a rotary motion as the
handles are moved toward and away
from each other. At the same time
the brush is given the usual forward
and backward motion. This device
has been invented by a resident of
the Far Northwest. and has been
tried ON some of the office buildings
of Tacoma and Vancouver, and, 1t Is
said. performs Its functions with ease.
