Ibex With GoId-Coated Teeth.

Particulars were given In several
London papers recently Of sheep, when
Killed, being found with gold-coated
teeth owing to their having cropped
short grass in gold bearing districts

but ii has called forth the following
information from Alexandria,: A Brit.
ish army officer in Cairo, Capt. Tim
ms, states that when he was ibex
shooting in the Sinai peninsula. in
May and June last year, he bagged two
fine old rams, and one Of the first
things that he noticed when skinning
the heads was that all the sides Of the
back teeth were coated with a bright
metallic substance Of the color Of Aus.

"shakarri" the reason Of this, and
was told that it was due to the ibex
feeding on certain shrub.

Too Much for the Hen.

A more or less truthful Australian
relates that he put an unusually large
porcelain egg in the nest Of a hen
and found that the next eggs she laid
were Of the increased size. Then he
put a goose esq in the nest The hen
laid an egg just as large He was so
pleased with the scheme that he put
a whitewashed football in the nest.
When he went the next time to search
for eggs he found one as big as a
football, but no hen in sight. Secur.
ing the egg, he saw engraved on it.
by hen photography, these words:
I'm no ostrich, but I've done my
best" Later he found the hen inside
the egg.

Love in Quiet Paths.

All day long on the highway
The kings fleet couriers ride:
You may hear the tread of their horses
sped
Over the country side.
They ride for life and they ride for
death,
And they override who tarryeth.
With show of color ana flush Of pride,
They stir the dust OH the highway.
Let them ride on the highway wide,
Love walks in little paths aside.
All day long on the, highway
Is the tramp Of an armyS feet;
Yon may see them go IN marshaled
With the tale of their arms complete;
They march for war and the march for
For the lust OF gold and flames IN
crease.
For victories sadder than defeat.
They raise the dust on the highway.
All the armies Of earth defied.
Love dwells in little paths aside.
All day long on the highway
BUSHES an eager band,
With straining eyes for a worthless
prize
That slips from the grasp like sand.
And men leave blood where their feet
have stood
And bow them down unto brass and
wood
Idols fashioned by their own hand
Blind in the dust of the highway.
Power and gold and fame denied,
Love laughs glad in the paths aside.

Insist on GETTING It.

Some grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
have stock on hand Of other brands
containing only IL OF in q package,
which they won't be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 OF. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 OF. instead Of 70 OF.

SIR MORTIMER; q Novel BY Mary Johnston.
Author OF TO Have and to Hold &c. New
York: Harper Brothers Washington: Bren-
taau's.
Whether Miss Johnston has consciously
or unconsciously adopted the narrative
style of the period of her novel. the fact is
evident that in this latest story from her
pen she has INDUCED in mannerisms which
set Sir Mortimer" somewhat apart in
point of treatment from her previous crea-
lions. This popularity manifests itself
frequently in an inversion of the sentence
after the fashion of the speech of charac-
tcrs. There Is. too. in both dialogue and
description "A tendency toward richness of
detail and of metaphor. This is in the
present instance well suited TO the theme.
for Sir Mortimer" Is story of the Eliza
betltn days of adv enture and splendor. 1t
Is q powerful character study as well as
fascinating romance. Mortimer Ferne is
the victim OF his own tortured body and
falsely directed mind Miss Johnston has
achieved a high point in sympathetic story
telling in hts presentation When he stag
gers forth from the clutches of the Span

follow the stream back from shore a mile
or so you will find Ii literally packed with
salmon all the way, although the water LIZ
so shallow that no fish is more than half
covered. Your surprise Is increased when
you approach near enough to touch them
with your foot and find that they pay not

TRIED TO COLLECT.
German Hotel Keeper Wanted Damages
When a Guest Died.

The supreme court at Berlin has rem
dered decision limiting damage claims by
hotel-keepers which will be of interest to
tourists generally and the many Americans
who stay at German hotels In particular
The decision is the subject of a report to
the State Department by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort
The question involved was whether a
hotel-keeper is entitled to damages from
the heirs of a guest. who. after stay of
several days at the hotel dies there of
heart failure. and whose death necessitated
a renovation and consequently temporary
non-rental of the room he had occupied.
The hotel-keeper claimed pay for the ex-
penses of renovation and disinfection of the
room and the loss of rental of the same
for ten days. As the hotel was one of the
frst-class. the sum asked was considerable.
The supreme court dismissed the suit on
the ground that "the tenant of room is
only responsible for damages If they were
caused by his own fault or that of his peo-
pie. The death of the hotel guest is a risk
involved in keeping hotel, which the hotel
keeper alone has to bear, and which he
cannot transfer to the heirs of the deceased.
The case. of course. would be different If
the guest had ended his life by suicide or
had concealed from the hotel-keeper
severe ailment which resulted In death"
