near being a serious confiagration in
town. 1t happened in the Nevada sa,

the timely assistance of a number Of

Generous Deed Of Eiks.

Through the generosity Of the
Bridgeport lodge OF Elks, Peter Mar
koon of Wallingford, Conn, will profit
by the unfortunate accident which he
met with while witnessing the Elks'
banner raising. A runaway horse ran
him down and dislocated his collar
bone
The bone was not fractured as at
first reported. Markoon was here
looking for work, and when the Elks
heard that he had wife and family
dependent upon him for support they
sent a committee out to investigate.
Markoon, as a result, was sent back
to Wallingford to-day, after the Bridge
port lodge of Elks had paid his medical
expenses, secured his ticket, given him
money for incidental expenses, and
told him to calculate upon s. per week
for the next four weeks.
The Elks went further. They noti-
fed the Wallingford lodge to take care
of Markoon and help him to get en-
ployment. Markoon is not a member
of the order, never was, and the Elks

"No, George and are not engaged
exactly, but" stammered Miss Cush-

But you have hopes,'' said Judge
Garvan.
We'll, you might ask George. Any

hard it bumped George and he NUT

''Pretty soon we heard Mrs. Smith
say: NO, Frank, don't butt in but
Mr.. Smith came on the top of the
stairs and told George he thought it
about time he went home George
said he didn't need any advice from
him.
E1Mr. Smith came down with horse
whip and hit George over the head.

it would have been cheaper" said

MADE To SER Y 3 MAN !,
DOMESTIC. ANIMALS DEVELOPED
u sS..s @5 . FOR HIS SERVICE.
Wherever Humanity Lives There Are
Found the Horse, Pig and Cow
: Neglect Of the Camel Always
Matter Of Wonder. .s. ..

The three animals that are most
widely spread over the earth are the
COW, the horse and the pig. These
animals did not spread through their
own efforts, but were developed by
man, and gradually rendered adapt
able to practically every place where
man himself can live. ..s...
Cattle entered America simultane-
ously with it's discovery, for Colum-
bus introduced Spanish steers and
COWS in 1893. In 1926 they were in
troduced into Mexico, which offered
ideal conditions for them. From Mexico
they spread into Texas, where the new
conditions of range and feeding de-
veloped a race of cattle that became
known as Texas cattle, and these ami
mails are typical of range-bred cattle
of America now.
The pig had it origin in India, and
its first conquest was that of eastern
Asia and the archipelagoes of the
eastern seas. China fell an early vic
tim to the love of the pig. RECORDS
show that the cultivation of the grunt-
ing pOrker was high art in that land
as long ago as 5000 years before
Christ. One of the greatest of the
Chinese feast days is known by the
name "Pig."
The Koran forbids the use of pork,
just as the Mosaic law does; hence
the pig is not raised in coutries where
the Mohammedan law rules. But in all
other parts of The world the porker is
as popular as the COW or the horse;
and there are many varieties Of pig,
due to local causes and to different
ways Of breeding in different coun.
tries, as there are varieties of horses
and cattle.
1t has always been matter of won
der to naturalists and economists that
the camel did not become so widely
spread as any Of these three animals
in the course of its thousands of years
Of existence as domestic animal.
The camel combines the advantage
of OK and horse as draught animal and
burden carrier; it is of high food
value; it gives excellent milk; it's de-
mands in the form Of food and water
are exceedingly modest, and it's han
is of great value. While the camel
probably could not bear all the ex
tremes Of climate that the horse OF
COW can bear, it is by no means a diff
fcult animal to acclimate, as is
shown by the fact that it is used as
q draught animal in the colder parts
of Siberia, on the Russian and Turke
stan steppes, in the Himalayas, in
Africa and in Australia.
1t is well known that wild camels
which descended from domestic cam
els that had been turned loose, were
to be found in some of the western
sand plains of the United States until
recent years, and occasionally there
are stories that a herd Of them exists
il Arizona.
