His Judgment Was Good.

Among the many good stories of
humorous happenings in court told by
Attorney Watson of Pittsburg is the
following:
"A prominent attorney of Kansas
City who was retained as counsel for
the defense in criminal case in the
city named succeeded in getting his
client out of pretty bad situation by
means of an alibi, which the attorney
presented to the court in so novel a
way that it was little short of mas.
terful.
AT the end of the trial the attorney
was overwhelmed by congratulations
from his colleagues of the legal fra
ternity, who spoke in the highest
terms of admiration of his able work.
To these Fluctuations there were add.
ed those of the learned judge himself,
who observed:
"A fine alibi, that, and mighty well
putt

shrewd Scheme of Poachers.

A very ingenious trick employed by
English poachers is that of leaving
an end of candle burning in sau-
Ger of water in the bedroom. This
usually is so arranged that the candle
will sputter out at about 10 o'clock,
just as if it had been extinguished
and the man retired for the night
This ruse is often employed by poach-
ers, who discover that the keepers
are watching the house for signs of
the poacher leaving. In very many
cases the gamekeeper does not dis
cover that the candle could go out
without any human agency.

SPLENDID FIELD FOR ROMANCE
Sir Gilbert Parker Says There IL
Room for American Noveiists.


Sir Gilbert Parker, Canadian novel
list and historian and since 1900 mem
Der of the English house of commons,
sailed back to England Saturday on
the Campania, according to the New
York Herald. He had been on two
months visit to Canada. The last
six days he had spent in New York.
When seen on the Campania just
before it sailed he was surrounded by
friends and relatives who had come to
see him off. but he found time to say
few pleasant things about the United
States and it's people. OF its wonder
full potentialities in literature he spoke
with enthusiasm.
mo country, in the world he said,
presents SO wide and wonderful
field for the novelist and the romancer
as the United States. You have his
torical past of more than 300 years
of exploration, adventure, episode
ard incident wherein to draw. You
have a hundred great problems of ma
tional life to solve which present the
most fascinating elements of romance.
You have not only room for the great
American novelist who has been ex-
pected for so many years, but for
twenty great American novelists."
AS to his own literary plans Sir
Gilbert said that he was at present
engaged upon novel which will be
published serially in Harper's Maya
zine next year. 1t will follow the
lead of his most recent book. "A Lad
der of Swords" in the fact that it
will continue his detection from Cam

Maintenance Of Pets.
A free bed for cats is maintained
in an animal hospital in Philadelphia.
1t is large cage of polished nickel,
with porcelain floor that slides out
for cleaning and with an outfit of por-
celain feeding utensils, a pneumatic
bed and an abundance of soft, clean
blankets.
Standing beside this bed the hos
pitfalls superintendent said:
1T was bequeathed to us seven
years ago by rich old woman The
income of $1,000 is set apart for it's
maintenance. 1t does a deal of good.
Requests to animals" he went on,
become more and more common as
the various S. p. C. AS increase in
number.
"A San Francisco woman left the
income of $1,000 to be expended in
keeping the streets free from broken
glass, tin cans and all such rubbish
as might cut the feet of horses.
There is hospital for birds in
New York, and l know a woman
whose will, when she dies, will make
it richer by $3.50 year.
"A st. Louis millionaire left a good
sum to be devoted to making easier
the lives of aged and broken-down
horses and mules.
Animal requests of this kind are
wise. There is another kind of ami
NAL bequest, though, that is very fool
ish. This is the setting aside of ex.
travagant sums for the luxurious
maintenance, after the masters or
mistress death, of pet animals. Such
requests cause swindling. The per
son who has 5000 or $500 year to
keep a cat or dog on is profiting
largely, and, when the cat or dog dies
substitutes another for it in order
that the income may not cease.

sort to cats, dogs, birds and even gold.

Mountain Sheep Prisoner in Glacier.

Mountain Sheep Prisoner in Glacier.
The entire carcass of a mountain
sheep was found embedded in the ice
of the Arapahoe glacier by party of
scientists from the university. No
one can tell how long it had been
there.
Very likely the animal was caught
in one of the deep crevasses which
extend into the glacier. The ice
must have closed in around it soon,
before there was time for putrefac-
ton, and thus the sheep was placed
in natural cold storage.
The slow movement of the ice in
this glacier, as in all glaciers, brings
everything eventually down to the ter
minal moraine. 1t was here that the
carcass was found.-Boulder CORE
