Here's n Queer Fish.

Each one Of us has at some time
eaten too much, but we have surely
not gone to such an excess as this fish
has. 1t is called the "black swallow
er" and as swallower takes first
place, for it's stomach is much larger
than its body. 1t will seize by the tail
a fish eight or ten times its own size
and work it's way over it by repeatedly
sliding forward one jaw and then the
other. Before taking a meal the swal-
lower is very respectable looking
fish, except for voracious cast of coun-
tenance, but afterward he certainly
has the appearance Of having eaten
too much. Then the walls of his stom-
ach are SO stretched as to be transpar-
ent. Later digestion begins and the
swallower is turned belly upward by
the imprisoned gas and his stomach
becomes a balloon, which lifts him
from the depths of the ocean to the
surface, and in this helpless condition
he is thrown about by the waves, per-
haps cast ashore and left high and dry
by the receding tide, in which case he
does not swallow any more, for the re-
turning tide finds him dead fish.

The Constitution In Practice.


The theory of the constitution is that
the three departments Of the govern
ment-the legislative, the executive and
the judiciary-are independent of one
another. In practice the government
is not carried on in harmony with this
theory. The system of checks and bal
ances does not operate as it's inventors
intended. The president was to have
had the power of selecting his subordi-
mates; the senate, through the exercise
Of the power Of confirmation, was to
prevent the appointment Of unworthy
men, especially of men who might con-
n1ve with the president to usurp pow
er. In practice most Of the presidents
subordinates are forced upon him. He
usually selects after consultation with
senator, who stands for the whole
senate, for he has it's power behind
him through custom which has grown
to be rule Of conduct, known as the
courtesy Of the nate."-Century.

rope related 10 sultan.
We learn from a Swiss writer Of the
seventeenth century that Pope Alexan.
der VII, whose pontifcate extended
from 1865 to 1867, was related to the
sultan Mohammed ". The connection
between these two contemporary SOW
ereigns is traced to one of those occur
rences which in the times Of Moslem
invasion and predatory aggression Of
ten led to strange blood relationships
between representatives Of Christian
and Mohammedan houses.
The story is told by Wallichius, a
contemporary Of Alexander VII. and
Mohammed Nv. Some Turkish corsairs
attacked and pillaged the castle of the
Marsilis in 1926 and carried off Mar
gherita, the daughter of Mani Marsili,
and this fair lady was reserved as a
present for the Sultan Solyman, who
made her one of his wives. By this
union she became the mother of Selim
H., ancestor Of Mohammed Nv.
From the same noble family Alexan-
der VII. was lineally descended on the
maternal side. LEONARDO Marsili, broth
er of the captive Margherita, had a
son, Cesare, whose daughter, Laura,
married into the Chigi family and be-
came the mother Of Fabio Chigi, known
on the roll Of pontiffs as Pope Alexan-
der VII.

Mr.. Dunnett and the G0vern0rship.

The state papers have thrown a good
many bouquets at our St. Johnsbury
lawyer for declining to be candidate
and here is bunch of them:
Squire Dunnett has already declined
the gubernatorialn nomination twice-and
the convention is year ahead RAN
dolph Herald and News.
The st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN stated
last week in all seriousness that it was
authorized to say that Lawyer Alex
ander Dunnett has no notion of being
a candidate for governor and will not
be candidate" Has the CALIFORNIAN
no sense of humor?-[ Mortified News.
Some of the politicians have trotted
out again the name OF Alex. Dunnett for
governor. No use, gentlemen, Mr.. Dun
nett has refused to enter the race-won't
have 1t anyway. You'll have to look
elsewhere.-[ Burlington Clipper.
Esquire Dunnett> has told the St.
Johnsbury Republican that he would not
| accept a nomination for governor OF the
state "if every man, woman or child in
Vermont wanted him to, and if it was
offered to him on a silver platter" That
is sufficiently explicit and is in refreshing
contrast to the declarations sometimes
heard that so-and-so doesn't aspire to
the Office but is in the hands of his friends!
-[White River Junction Landmark.
Some time ago Esquire Dunnett told
US in terms that would not allow the
case to go to the supreme court for
reversal OF decision on exceptions, that
he would not accept the position if every
man, woman and child in Vermont
wanted him to and if it was offered to
him on silver platter. He had some
considerable experience in the thick of
the last gubernatorial fight and is not
hankering for further experience with
smokeless powder st. Johnsbury Re-
publican.
All the talk about Alexander Dunnett
OF st. Johnsbury and the governorship is
simply an attempt to force political Cos
sip. Senator Dunnett doesn't want to
be governor-as he has repeatedly said
and if he wanted to be governor he
couldn't he next year, and as for posing
as man of straw for the license men to
knock down, he has too much hard
Scotch sense. Let the next victim enter.

The New Estray Law.

One OF the most important stock laws
passed by the last Colorado legislature
is the law defining estrays. Heretofore
there has been nothing in the law to de
fine an cstray. The new law provides
that; "Any bovine animal, horse mule
or ass found running at large upon pub
lie or private lands in the state of Colo
RADIO, whose owner is unknown in the
section where found, or which shall be
fifty miles or more from the limits of its
usual range or pasture, shall be known
as an estray."
The new law provides that no one may
take an estray but householder, and
then in the vicinity of his residence.
When taken up the taker-up must notify
the secretary of the state board of stock
Inspection commissioners at Denver
within five days. The taker-up can then
the state board. He shall be paid for his
care by the board. Where estrays are
known to be on the public range they
may be brought in and turned over to
the board or an inspector OF the board at
some shipping station.
The state board will return cstrays to
their owners, if owner is known, and it
Is TO their best interests to have the ami
mails returned. and If unknown then the
board will advertise the animal in the
official state live stock paper for two
weeks and also in local paper publish
ed in the county where the snimal was
taken up. The board has designated
the Denver Record -Stockman as the ofiic
ial live stock paper wherein all such pub
lieations may be legally made.
When an estray is sold the money is
sent to the owner, when known; or it is
put in the estray fund and must be
claimed by the owner within three days
from the date of sale. The new law
makes il a misdemeanor for any person
to take up an estray without giving no
tee 10 the board of stock Inspection
within five days. This law is now in full
force and effect. The new law will en-
able stockmen 10 get rid Of estrays with
the least possible expense and trouble.
