ASKED MANY QUESTIONS
TRIAL AT WHICH TAGGART WILL
BE PLACED ON THE STAND BE-
GINS AT PAoLI FRIDAY-STlLl
EXAMINING BOOKS.
Publishers Pressl

French Lick, Ind, July 11.-Thomas
Taggar, Of the French Lick Springs
hotel company, acting on advice of his
attorneys, refused to be examined
under oath by the auditor of state
and attorney general. He took the
position that while the law permitted
the state officers to examine the books
Of the hotel companies, 1t did not au-
thoriZe a forced examination Of OFF,
GERS of a corporation under oath.
The state officers began an examina-
ton of the books of the French Lick
Springs and West Baden hotel COM
panies. 1t is desired by them to make
clear the exact relations of the hotel
companies and the casions which were
raided by the state officers last week
to stop alleged gambling. The ex-
animation of the books is preliminary
to the trial of quo warranto proceed
hotel companies, which will be held
at Paoli Friday. At this trial Tag
CART, OF the French Lick Springs hotel
company and Lee Sinclair, of the
West Baden hotel company, will be
placed on the stand.
Taggart was subjected to consider
able questioning by Attorney General
Miller, Notwithstanding his refusal TO
be placed under oath. He made the
statement that the contract of the
hotel company with Al Brown for the
casino privileges two or three years
ago was $4,000 per year. What the
rental of the casino was under the
last lease was not brought out. Tag
CART said the action of the court at
Paoli in rendering judgment in favor
of the hotel companies, cancelling the
leases Of the casinos and securing for
the hotel companies possession of the
casinos, was an accomplishment for
which the hotel companies had been
striving ever since 1t was discovered
that the lessons of the casinos were
permitting gambliry.
Sinclair Also Silent.
West Baden, Ind, July Lice
Sinclair. president of the West Baden
Hotel company, refused to be ex-
amined under oath by the representa-
tives of the state auditor and attorney
general until he had secured counsel.
1t developed that Sinclair owns GA
per cent OF the stock of the company.
Taggart hods practically all of the
stock of the French Lick Springs
hotel, according to the records. Other
stockholders are Crawford Fairbanks
of Terre Haute, Ind, l.. T. Dickson
of Chicago, Walter Barnes and A. r.
Thomas. The examination of the
books of the two hotel companies is
being held behind closed doors.

Precipices In the RimaIayas.

There is II remarkable peculiarly
of the series of Himalayan ranges be-
tween the vale of KaShmir and the
central Asian watershed. They are one
after another cut right across by ridges.
The reason for this is that the rivers
were there before the ranges We're
formed, and as by the %crinkling of the
earth's crust the ranges were raised
the rivers cut gorges through them
and maintained their flow. Manga Par
bat is part Of the true and principal
Himalayan range, and it's summit rises
to the s~tupendous altitude above sea
level Of 26,630 feet. Close to it's foot,
not more than ten miles in horizontal
distance from the peak, the Indus
flows through a desert gorge, and here
the height above sea level of the river
bed is not much above 5000 feet. 1t is
easy to conceive from these figures Oh
how vast a scale natures architecture
is here set up. The path along the side
Of the gorge is in places perilously mar
row and carried across precipices of
such appalling character that at one
point a man who lost his footing fell q
mile in vertical height and was of
course smashed to atoms.

A Wreck In the Potato Field.

An old salt after sailing the sea for
years thought he would try a life
ashore for awhile. He looked around
for a job and was engaged by a farmer,
saying as he had plowed the deep for
years he thought he could plow the
land. He went home with the farmer
and after a good nights rest and
breakfast, started out to pillow. The
farmer hitched up a yoke of oxen, with
a horse on to lead. Taking two turns
around the field and then turning the
team over to Jack, he said he would go
to the house for family prayers. It
was plain sailing for a short time, but
the team didn't like Jacks way of nav
igatfng. The oxen turned the yoke, and
things became snarled up. Jack hove
to and went to the house, asking for
the deacon. He was told the family
was at prayers, but pushed in and
hailed the deacon: Say, deacon, the
starboard OK is on the port side, and
the port OK is on the starboard side.
The old mare is athwart the bows. and
the whole thing is drifting to hades
stern first. Delay your prayers and
come down and clear away the wreck

Do the Hard Thing First.

He who defers an unpleasant duty
does it twice. Anticipation Of it may
become a continued torture. 1t is wise
TO be done with it in the first place,
and then contemplation of it becomes
q pleasure. The undone task, resting
upon your head, weighs you down and

beneath your feet, raises you up and
helps you forward. Somehow or other
it seems that the hard things are the
important things. Maybe it is because
they are hard and sometimes left IN
done that their Importance is realized.
If you have not met with the success
you think your efforts merit do not sit
down to groan and rail against fate,
but just quietly cast about for the dis
agreeable parts Of your work from
which you have shrunk. There you
will find your point of weakness. You
may not attach much Importance to
these things you shirk from, but you
can eve know how your neglect of
them has changed the current of your
life.

Origin of a French Dish

The names bestowed upon certain
dishes have often an origin entirely
distinct from technical consideration.
This is true of the we'll known epi-
grammes d'agneau a Ia MicheIet or a
Ia Toulouse, as it is more frequently
called. Michelet was the cook of a
young French marQuise of the century
who was noted for Ter lack of educa-
ton. On 4 certain occasion she gave
q dinner to the officers of the regiment
ChOiseulCavalerie. During the func-
ton her guests spoke of a banquet that
they had attended on the previous
evening. at which the host had enter
tanned them with many new and bril-
liant epigrams. The marquise suppOs-
ed that 'epigrams" referred to Gull
nary surprises. Consequently she sum-
moned Michelet, her cook, and ordered
him to prepare some epigrams for din
ner On the following day. Michelet
was greatly troubled as to how he was
to obey the order. He ~recOllected,
however, that he had in the larder
some very superior lamb. He praised
the breast, removed the bones, cut the
meat into pieces and bread crumbed
and fried them. He then cooked the
outlets, arranged them on a dish al
ternately with the praised breast and
served them with a suitable garnish
under the name of epigrammes dag
neat a la Michelet, by which name, or
a IN Toulouse, the c%oncoction has ever
since been known.

An AmiabIe Duel.

There was a duel in Edinburgh re-
Gently between two Italians over a girl
with whom both were smitten. 1t took
place at midnight in the presence Of a
party of friends. The duelists had but
one revolver and drew lots for the first
shot. The winner shot at forty PAGES
and missed. Then he walked up to his
opponent and politely handed the pis-
toll over. When the man had walked
back to his station the second shot was
fred and also missed. SO the two men
rushed forward and embraced each
other. and the feud ended.

THE BIRD OF FREEDOM.
Made of Life OF the Famous Bald
Headed Eagle.

Eagles are popularity supposed to be
quite different from hawks; but, In q
word, they are nothing more than large
hawks. They reach sometimes the age
of nearly 100 years. They live singly
or in pairs and dwell in the wilder
places in all kinds of country, from
tropical deserts to the arctic regions.
In their search for food, however, they
often wander far and. emboldened by
hunger, even approach the abodes of
man. In story books and newspapers
of carrying off young children, but
such tales are unreliable.
The bald eagle, white headed eagle,
white headed sea eagle or bird of
Washington is of particular interest
to Americans as the national emblem
Of the United States, to which dignity
1t was elevated ON June 20, 1882. The
name "bald" eagle originated from the
white head and the impress
sion of badness it gives at a distance.
This bird measures about three or
three and a half feet in length, from
six to eight feet in extent Of wings
and weighs from six to twelve pounds.
Under most circumstances wary and
difficult of approach, this eagle never
theless is often surprisingly tame and
u~nsuspicious. U~nprOvoked it rarely
attacks man. although such instances
have been reported. 1t prefers trees
for watching and roOsting, but in
spring sometimes descends to ride the
cakes of ice in the river, apparently
looking for fish.
This species breeds throughout it's
range wherever suitable places exist,
and it has been known to lay and hatch
eggs in confinement. In the southern
part of the United States, from Florida
to Texas, it breeds very early, deposit
ing its eggs usually during the first
half of December; in the middle states
and in California it lays in February Or
March, about the middle of April in
southern Alaska, sometimes in May or
ven June in the arctic regions.
The nest is located nearly always in
the vicinity of a stream or body Of wa
ter. The fayOrite site is the top of a
tall tree. Where there are no trees a
rock or a niche in a cliff serves the
purpose.
The same nest is occupied year after
year and annually repaired or aug
mented until it becomes an immense
structure five, six or even eight feet
high and as much in diameter, contain
ing fully a carload or two of material.
1t usually forms Il strong platform
with only a slight depression in the
center and easily sustains the weight
of a man.
Ducks of various kinds fall regularly
a prey to the bald eagle, and they are
stolen from unwary sportsmen just as
readily as larger birds. Wounded
ducks, with those purloined from hunt
ers, form at some seasons a good
share of its food. At favorable Oppor.
tunities this eagle preys upon fawns
and, pressed by hunger, will sometimes
attack a full grown deer, particularly
if the latter be wounded.
In most of the states of the Union
and in many of the Canadian provinces
the bald eagle is protected by law. Ell
Their specifically or by general enact
ment, but in a few it is still specially
exempted from the provisions of the
general nOngame protection acts.-BuI-
letin by the United States Biological
Survey.

The Field club tennis tournament Will

championship Of the Field club. Many new
players are in the field this year, while
some of the former winners are not devot-

in business he has been unable to practice
much this spring, which almost puts him
out OF the running and makes a new
