The little screech owl, well known in
most parts of the country, is indefat-
gable In its work of destroying mice
and insects. 1t may often be seen at
dusk lowering about barns and out
buildings, watching for mice or skim
ming along the fields and along hedge
rows In search of grasshoppers, crick-
cts and beetles. Many birds of this
species have taken up residence In
the cities, having learned to feed upon
that most destructive nuisance the
English sparrow. In winter rural resi-
dents often notice the tracks of mice.
which form networks in the snow,
crossing and recrossing, passing in and
out of walls and stacks, tending to
show how active these small rodents
are when most of the world sleeps.
Occasionally such a track stops
abruptly, and while the observer is try
ing to read more of the history written
in the snow his eyes catch the faint
impression of pair of wing tips near
where the trail ends. and instantly he
Is made aware that tragedy has been
enacted. Screech owls also feed on

sionally bats. During warm spells In

Getting Rich In Mining.

business. Chuck went to the noun

rock companies to develop sure

gold. He was superintendent of the
Sunday school and induced way up
church people to indorse his schemes.
The sale of stocks in gold mining com

Old English HnIfpence.

How many collectors of coins know
anything about the curious halfpence
issued centuries ago by English au-
thorities-halfpence in the truest sense
of the word, since they were nothing
more than minted pennies cut directly
in half? Specimens of these coins have
been discovered frequently among the
buried treasures which from time to
time have been unearthed in Great
Britain. In Lancashire in 1910 were
found a rare lot of coins, among which
were several pennies of the time of
Alfred and Edward divided in this
way.
Similarly divided pence of the time
of Edward the Confessor have been
cry in 1888 of a number of these curl
Gus halfpence of the time of William
the Conqueror an unquestioned au-
thority states that they were probably
issued from the minis In that form,
since the whole collection had evident
ly been In circulation.
In the British museum in London are
specimens of these divided coins issued
under various monarchs from Alfred
to Henry III. An eminent archRlogist
accounts for the divided coins by say
ing that this doubtless arose from the
scarcity of small change, which was in
part remedied under the reign of Ed
ward l. by the coinage of halfpence
and farthings.

In all ages women were supposed to
be more prone to superstition than
men, and who knows but that the
dread of woman on the appearance
of rat or a mouse may not be due. In
part at least, to an ancient superstition
which has Travelled down the ages
from the time when our remote fore
fathers believed that rats and mice
were the souls of the departed? Nu-
merous are the stories which made the
lncients believe that souls were rats
and mice. and some of these stories are
Sery curious.
"In Thuringia, at Saalfeld," says
Barring Gould, "a servant girl fell
asleep while her companions were
Smelling nuts. They observed a little
red mouse creep from her mouth and
run out of the window. One of the fell
lows present shook the sleeper. but
could not wake her. so he moved her
TO another place. Presently the mouse
ran back to the former place and dash
ed about seeking the girl. Not finding
her. it vanished. At the same moment
the girl died"

The charge was made two weeks ago
that Mr.. Wheeler, the republican nom
inee for sheriff of Chelan county, as
marshall of the city of Wenatchee, APP
pointed six deputies during fair week,
aud that they were all democrats. The
charge was made with the apparent
purpose of stirring up Mr.. Wheeler's
republican supporters. The facts are
that Wheeler appointed four deputies
to help him preserve the peace. Two
of whom were republicans and two
were democrats. Could a democratic
sheriff have done any more fair? Mr.
Wheeler has lived so long in Chelan
county, and his reputation for being a
square man is so well established that
it can not be disturbed by these idle
charges, AS sheriff he will be the
same quiet, unassuming man that he
has been in private life. He will dis
charge the duties OF the Office fairly,
squarely and honestly, without fear or
favor, and do it in that calm dignitied
way that always wins admiration. Ev-
cry man in Chelan county that votes
for Peter Wheeler Jr., whether he
knows him personally or not, can rest
assured that he is the proper man for
sheriff
