Medieval Idea. o, Women.

John Nevisan, who died in Turin in
1540. stated the medieval notion of
women In his Sylvia Nuptials." when,
after remarking that the Author Of
Good had made women entirely with
the exception Of her head, he added
briefly: "Permisit Deus illud facere
daemonio" ("God let the devil make
that"). In the same century Jean
Raulin preached that man, composed
of clay. is silent and ponderous; but
woman gives evidence Of her osseous
origin by the rattle she keeps up" 1t
was another Frenchman, Henrion, the
orientalist, who was gracious enough
to allow woman the supremacy in one
respect at least. With minute accur-
acy he fixes the height Of Noah at 103
feet. Of Noses at 13 feet, Of Hercules
at 10 feet. of Alexander the Great and
Julius Caesar at 6 and feet, respect
ively-and Of Eve at 118 feet 9.75

The new law that went into effect
the first Of last month is liable to
cause trouble for dealers in cigars
until they become acquainted with
its provisions. Heretofore, all that
was necessary for the dealer when
the cigars were all sold from the box
was to destroy the stamp. Now it is
different. The dealer may destroy
the stamp and use the empty bo.
for display purposes, but il it goes
out Of his hands, either sold or given
away, he must in addition to destroy
ing the stamp, also destroy the eau
tiou notice which is pasted on the
side and bottom, and also destroy
the factory number. Then the cigar
box can lawfully be given swsy.-Ex.

Deserved . Better Fate.

The Salida Daily Tribune is dead.
So young, 30 fair, so deserving OF a
better fate, and yet it died-died
early. After living through q titful
fever Of fifty two issues it gave up

tobacco or medicine ads, and not for
single spasmodical second would
it think of using boiler plate or
patent CUTS, and yet it died-gave
up the ghost in the full bloom of it-
youth, and the only mourners were
two sad-eyed youths who expected
to set the world on fire with q daily
paper in small city larger than La
Junta.
This was the second attempt, in
the past year, to establish 3 daily in
Salida. The Daily Chronicle. which
Was started last August by the ire

Collie Dog Evidently Had His Own

A story of Scotch collie is cur
rent on the Derbyshire border. says
an English exchange. A farmer in
the Peak district, having purchased
a small flock of sheep in the Low
lands, drove the flock the whole way
from Scotland to his farm in Derby
shire with the aid of a collie dog
which was lent to him by the Scotch
farmer from whom he purchased the
sheep. when you get to your home
with the sheep" said the Scotchman.
''let the dog fill his belly; then tell
him to go home" The Derbyshire
man duly arrived at his farm with
the sheep. and was SO pleased with
the collie dog and its performance
that he decided to keep 1t a few days
before sending 1t back. One day he
was away from home during the whole
of the day, and on returning in the
evening he found that the Scotch COZ
lie was missing, and also the flock Of
sheep In a few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep back

Author Not Especially Interested In
"Art for Arts Sake"
Most of his American admirers
knew the late Guy Boothby only as a

there was another and a very different

which = London journalist. now in

been sent down to interview the novel
ist for very literary sort Of a maya
zine. and SO felt in duty bound to ask
him questions OF distinctly literary
navor-all Of which seemed to bore
the host considerably. At last came
this one:
Mr.. Boothby. What is your opinion
of all this talk about art for arts
sake? Especially. you know. as It
would apply to a man like yourself,
who writes for an immense audience
which asks only to be amused?"
The other looked puzzled. He re-
peated the first query slowly and half
aloud. Then he reached for the cigars
and said:
I'm afraid I've not got quite the
hang of what you're after. You're
quite right, no doubt. Yes, I'm sure
you are. But come along down to my

a costly Leak stopped.

The Colorado law requiring insur-
anos companies to take out licenses
for each of their agents each year
and pay q fee of $500 for each was
passed in 1883. Since that time it
is estimated that fully $4,000 has
been lost to the state because no one
felt it his duty to check up the in
suranoe companies to see if they
were paying fees for all their agents.
Commissioner E. e. Rittenhouse,
who has recently taken office, is now
examining all companies back six
years-where the law places the
limit-and tho indicstions are that
the state will be ahead from $4,000
to $25, 900 before the job is finished.
The companies paid for such agents
Is they saw fit, and neglected to pay
for q large number of them. Here
is another illustration of the necessi-
ty for q uniform business system Of
examination and checking of public
Offices to see il the laws are being
observed and the taxes paid. A
public examiner such as is provided
in Ohio or Wyoming would have
caught this leak years ago.

Tho Campbell system.

That the Campbell system Of farm
ing pays in western Kansas is eyi-
dsnoed by this: Mr.. Campbell has
handled . certain twenty acre side
hill field of washy land on the Pom
cry farm, near Hill City for five
years. In March 1900 he begun his
summer culture Of the field, never
allowing q crust to form on it. In
the fall he seeded to wheat. The
corn burned up all around him, but
he harvested forty-two and one-hslf
bushels of wheat per acre. In 1902
the same field was summer titled and
sowsd in wheat early in September.
The 1908 yield was forty six bushels
per acre. As soon Is the crop was
harvested in June. the entire field
was double disoed, and all the moist
ure from that on carefully stored and
conserved. The soil was not allow
cd to become dry during the remand
or Of tho season. In August it was
again plowed and sowed to wheat.
In the following June (19O4) . thir-
ty-two bushel to the acre crop was
harvested, this crop being the nine
tesnth the field had produced since
breaking the sod. An adjoining
eighty acre field was not worth out
ting because ruined by an early
spring drouth, although on natural
ly better land, and had been broken
only four years. The field was again
double disced last summer when the
crop was removed and the top of the
ground stirred after every rain, until
fall, when il was again plowed and
seeded according to the Campbell
method. Today there is every indi-
cation Of forty bushel crop.-Oim-

Discoveries Made At the Capital Of
Ancient Persia.
Remarkable discoveries have been
made in the ruins of the temples at
susa. the ancient capital Of Persia.
where marvels of jswelry have been
brought to light, the earliest examples
ever known Of that country.
The Jewels Of gold and silver are
the frst Of those countries and those
ages which have come down to the
present day. In this they present .
great interest. Unfortunately, 1t is not
possible to assign u precise date to
each Of them. As the cylinders and
seals which form a part of the finds
belong to all periods frsm the fortieth
or nftieth century B. C. down to
date OF foundation. 80 It is with the
Jewels. There are some of every
age. The rings Of filigree work and
the scepter with the lions head seem
to be more recent than the statuettes
Of gold and silver. which have q
frankly archaic appearance. but one
can not be sure of this appreciation.
Have the discoverers not been surpris-
ed by finding rings which, II their
origin had not been certain. would be
attributed by the most acute connois-
seurs to the Greek or Etruscan
epochs?
Before the discoveries at Dashur
nothing was known of the Egyptian

near York, In the river Ouse, some
thirty-fve miles or so from the sea.
It made short work of the salmon
net, but one of the fishermen loaded a
gun and fired at the unfortunate
whale. On the following day it was
found stranded In shallow water at
Cawood. not far from Selby. 1t was
then hauled up on to lorry and ex-
hibited round the countryside by its
captors. 1t weighed ten hundred
weight, measured little over IL feet
in length, and the expense Of the tail
was 2 feet inches. 1t was a beau
tiful creamy white color when I saw 1t

stick. It had evidently come up so
far from the sea in pursuit Of the
salmon. According to BELL" in the

trust could have desired. There
was no sounding Of trumpets and no
proclamation of what was doing, but
the agents of the department were
at work, and the result shows that
they worked intelligsntly and with
good effect.
When the matter reached the stage

picion was strengthened, il no actual
evidence was supplied, by the fight
