DINED ON SCATTERED "CRVMBS"

In front Of q drinking place in Full

the portly, prosperous looking horses
attached to it were at their midday
meal. Haughtily they tossed their
heads, scattering the oats from their
well filled nosebags as il to empha-

standing in the street and engaged
with scantily filed nosebags from
which they struggled to extract the
last particle of grain, kept one eye
upon the naughty pair with a look
which seemed to conceal envy under
an expression which said as plainly
as words: What vulgar ostentation!"
Nearby stood a scrawny old white
horse attached to a ~ramshackle cart.
His expression was one of profound
humility. His ribs showed through
his hide and his Roman nose was I'M
adorned by any bag Of grain. All his
expression seemed to say was: What
a blessing it is to be able to watch
the rich enjoying themselves" His

SOURCE or VOLCANIC ACTIVITY

In a recently published volume on
volcanoes Prof. C. DCelter undertakes
to tell why volcanoes have e%ruptions.
Melted rock such as Is flung from We
suvius requires a temperature of 1900
degrees Fahrenheit, SO that it becomes
liquid only far down in the earth, per-
haps 60 or 100 mics. Below the
outer crust of cooled and solidiied
rocks there must be a larger zone of
rock which still remains solid, because
Its temperature is less than that of
the melting point corresponding to
the pressure under which it rests, and
below that again there must be rock
or magma in a state Of fusion; it is to
this magma that Prof. Doelter looks
for the primary ource Of all volcanic
activity. At the SAM time the depth
at which this primary reservoir of
magma lies and the pressure under
which it is confined are so great that
a direct eruption from 1t is .inconceiv-
able, but when, by movements in the
everything crust or otherwise, a chan
mel is opened the magma may rise to
a depth where it is surrounded by
rock at a lower temperature than the
melting point. In these circumstances

Very curious were some OF the ex-
plantations given by Cinnamon OF the
recent earthquakes which have been
felt at Hongkong, Canton and Macao.
The Hongkong Daily Press tells about
them: The famous dragon whose
privilege it has been to give an oc-
casional shock to the earth's crust is
not held responsible for the recent
scare in Macao and elsewhere. Some
Chinese attribute the last shocks to
the water-dragon Of Canton, whose
anger has been raised by the reclama-
ton works. Coolies are dumping daily
boatloads of sand and stone on the
poor dragons back, and the beast nat
urally feels hurt.
1T appears, however, that the real
causes of the earthquakes were the
Macao crabs! Here is the story:

and has already made Il discovery
which will be of interest TO the United
States government n especially to
all concerned in the forestry ques-
ton. There has been some discus
sion as to whether the red squirrel was
really a foe to the birds, but OH the sup
position that this was true, an edict is
going forth against the squirrel n

Captain Seth Bullock viii receive Il box
of cartridges as his reward n yet,
though they have pronounced against
the squirrels, there has been some doubt
in the minds of the department as to
what they really did do. 1t is neces-
sary to protect the birds at any rate,
as they are the greatest foe to the bark
beetle, which is running so many acres
of Black Hills timber. Now young Nc
Ney has come to the front and, after
some observation, Il written 4 letter
TO Captain Bullock in which he said
that he once saw a Woodpecker come
out of its nest, having been frightened
by a squirrel. Thu squirrel then went
into the ~woodpeCker's hole and ca4ne
out with an egg in his mouth. The 10
year-old boy has signed the death a

Who Would End Life,

Yankton, S. D., Oct. 13.-The young
man thrown into Jail here Monday
night and who tried to commit suicide
is still here and quite a puzzle to the
authorities to whom the unknown is as
complete a riddle as has been furnished
the police for some time. In his raw
ings are mingled graphic accounts of
doings in Boston, Mass, Kentucky and
especially Indianapolis, where the
young man frequently names Mayor
Bookwalter. Stories of the denli monde
and grating by detectives to avoid ar
rests are miXed with Y. M. G. A. doings
and city reforms, and altogether the
stranger is hard to place and harder
to take car of, as he not i~nfrequently
stops in a confidential and scholarly
talk of college days to strike the cor
rect attitude and dare men to try and
throw him. When arrested he showed
he could almost do it too by overpow-
ering one of the best men on the local
police force.

Man Sentenced Because of an Alleged
Exorticn.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 16.-Sheriff
Garner. of Bon Homme county, has ar
rived here with Il man named Casey
~Edmundson, whom he placed in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary, where he
will serve Il term of seven months.
EdmundSOn was convicted in the state
circuit court of Bon Homme county on
the charge of eXtOrtion.
Edmundson was arrested in connec-
ton with the death of Frank Ritter, 81
prominent DO Homme county farmer,
who committed suicide some months
ago as the result of the alleged eXtor-
ton on the part of Edmundson. Ed
mundson represented a feed cooker con
Germ, and while travelling through that
part of the state stopped at Ritter's
home, and, it is alleged, made discov-
cries which would subject Ritter to az
rest on a statutory charge.
EdmunGson filed Il complaint with a
justice Of the peace, but upon pay
ment to him by Ritter of the sum Of
$3.50 he is alleged to have been induced
to withdraw the complaint. Ritter then
ended his life by swallowing a quantity
of poison. Before doing this he scrawled
off a note to his WIFE, who was away
visiting, in which he stated in sub
stance that strangers had come to his
house and compelled him to drink the
poison,
