PAGERS" WILL
HUNTED.
"WHiTE
Ranchmen Make Concerted AttemEt
to Capture Famous Horses.

to Capture Famous Horses.
Strangest of all equine bands, the
white pacers'' of the southern range
are doomed to captivity or extermint
alton. The raHchmen of Southern
Utah, Western Nevada and a strip Of
Arizona have passed sentence ON this
; remarkable aggregation Of one hum
dred wild horses that for seven years
have Knocked every effort at capture.
! The stockmen of the border country
engaged few weeks ago in a. wild
horse hunt-a raid on the wild mus
tangs that have become a pest of the
range Many animals we're killed, but
the white PAGERS" were not met
Even if the opportunity had present
ed itself no attempt to kill them would
have been made.
The ranchmen have for years cher
ished the hope of some day capturing
some of the beautiful animals, and so
none have ever been shot. Individual
attempts to take them, however, have
always failed, and now an organized
and determined effort is in project.
Plans have been made with a full
knowledge of the habits of the quarry
and the nature of the country, and
it is hoped that a dozen or more. of
the coveted equines will be taken. Ii
necessary, several of the horses will
be killed to make the work of cap
turing the others easier.
The much desired animals are of
magnificent build. They are all white
and have long names and tails of the
same color In speed they easily out
strip the ranch horses.
A strange feature is that the anil
mails are all PAGERS. Very seldom
have they been known to break into
run, and then only for a short dis
lance, soon relapsing into the long,
swift stride that appears to be their
natural gait. The ranchmen believe
that some Of these animals can be
trained to become great racehOrses.
A great stallion, of splendid proper
tons, is the leader of this equine fam
lily. At the head Of the band this stall
lion has led his followers in wild dash
es over the hills when pursued by the
ranchers, and the pace was so rapid
that the hunters were soon compelled
to desist. These horses are reported
to be ranging along the Colorado Riv-
er. In the summer they como up into
| Utah.
1t is planned to effect their capture
by having several parties act in con-
cert and drive the horses into trap
probably into a box canyon.-New

Number on Paper Money.

"If any one comes up to you and

Why Korea Possesses No Bicycles.

Hot Meal Without a Fire.

Readers of the war news will have
noticed one or two references to the
fact that timed meats for the Rus
sian troops are prepared by a proc
ess which enables the contents Of
each tin to be served hot without a
fire. This boon is secured by hav-
ing the ordinary tins filled with food
"jacketed' in patent tins. The
patent tin contains water, together
with a chemical mixture, by means
of which the water can be raised to
boiling point in ten minutes or a
quarter of an hour. All that is nee
essary to do when it is desired to
heat the food is to puncture the top
of the patent tin, the chemical mix
ture being thereby forced into the
water, which soon begins to boil

WONDERFUL LABOR SAVER.

Tim Mullen of Chicago claims
that he can deliver more button
holes of fine grade and quality at
a given price than any other man in
the country. Mr.. Mullen represents
the manufacturer of machine for
making buttonholes in shoes, shirts,
overalls, etc. Gone girl in Lynn.
Mass" he said, ''made 1915 but
tonholes in shoes in one day, operat-
ing two machines simultaneously.
That is the record, but an operator
of ordinary ability can make 10000
a day. Formerly it was necessary
to put the shoe through three or
four machines to make the complet-
ed buttonhole, one to cut the leath-
er, another to stitch the sides and
another to tie the ends, but all this
is done by one machine now. The
old style machines required the OPP
orator to walk around the machine
for each buttonhole made, but the
new way is to have the machine do
the walking around, sewing entirely
around the hole without making
the operator change his place. -

other for bones. "A correct diet

part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however

The Stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the
man, because it cannot transform
the food he eats into nOurish-

not be restored to any sick man
or weak woman without first re-

stomach. A weak stomach cannot
digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and
run down limbs and organs Of the
body. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure di-
gests what you eat, cleanses and

CONDENSED STORIES.
Some Ecclesiastical Promotions That
Were Won by Puns.

Were Won by Puns.
Canon Melville, who died the 9th
er day in his ninety-second year,
owed his earliest promotion to a
pun, affirms Tay Pays Weekly.
When the late Earl of Dudley, who
knew Mr.. Melville sufficiently to re-
member that his Christian name
was David, had a living at his dis
posal he received a letter containing
only the words, Lord, remember
David" The earls reply was nc
less terse and Scriptural, Thou ART
the man.
Perhaps the earliest instance OF
ecclesiastical promotion won by a
pun is that of a curate named Jo-
seph, who was prompted by Swift
to take this text for sermon
preached in st. Patrick's cathedral,
Dublin, before the vicerov, "But-
ler," the Duke Of urmOnd: ct dlG
not the chief butler remember 90
seph, but forcat him"
Rev. DR.. Mountain, who was TIE
son of a beggar, owed nearly every
step Of his successive promotions Il
great part to his righteousness anf
won the last step of all by sIngle
Jest. When he was consulted, as
bishop of Durham, by George IL,
as to the fittest person to fill the
vaca:.t archiepiscopal see of York
he replied, "Sir, hadst thou faith
as grain of mustard seed thou
wouldst say to this Mountain (dra-
matically striking his breast), BE
thou removed and cast into this sea
(see).'" That George II. should So
understand and appreciate the joke
as to accept its suggestion is per-
haps the strangest part of the story
