Mountain Sheep Sacred in Colorad,

Mountain Sheep Sacred in Colorado.
 State Game and Fish Commis- sioner Jim Woodland declares that the mountain sheep cf Colorado is in the same class as the sacred bull of India It must not be teuched, says Woodland. If the animal is seen browsing upon the mountainside the gun of the hunter must not be point ed in its direction.
 The animal, therefore, may be called the sacred sheep of Color ado" There are not many of them left. but under the protection of the law they are increasing every year. There Is band of them on the hills between Florence and Victor, and MT. Woodland has a photograph of 8 bunch grazing on hillside a short distance from Florence.
 But for the passage of a law which heavily fines those who kill this anil nal, the species would have been ex- tinct long ago.
 A letter received in MT. Woodard's s office recently tells of the arrest and conviction of one Fred Klantzky for killing mountain sheep. Klantzsky was fined $500 and costs in the county court at Canon City. The costs amounted to $40, and if the accused man does not settle he will have a long term to serve in the county jail.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The Old Lady Was Able to Manage
 the Horse

There were several people in the shop when the stranger entered, and so he addressed them at large.
 Amy of you drive up here in a trap?"
 "Yea." said Farmer Crabbe, "I did. Whyf"
 An old gray horse in the trap?"
 "Yes: but
 And an elderly lady on the seat?"
 That's right; but"
 T suppose she can manage that old horse?"
 Rather! I should just think she could. Why. she's drove him since he was a two year old"
 "Oh," said the stranger, then it's all right. I merely asked because the gray has started up the street like scarifled mad bullock. and the old lady's hanging on the back of the trap, screaming 'Murder' Still, If she can manage him, of course, there's no use of getting excited over 1t. How's the price of taters down your way?" = Birmingham (Eng- land) Post.

HEAD HUNTERS OF FORMOsA.
Like Dyaks, They Have an Unpleas-
 ant Mania for Decapitation.

ahL AsIhIAld lOT OtCtaplkalIOu.
 The mountainous interior of For mosa is inhabited b, a race of bloodthirsty sayages, whose chief de- light Is to. sally forth on head hunt ing raids. Few strangers (the excep- tions being some intrepid Japanese explorers) have ever penetrated far into the wild mountain country which is the home of these savages
 They appear to be akin to the Dyaks of Borneo, says Macmillan's, but no definite study of their lan- guage or habits has yet been made though interesting details will be found in Consul Davidsons 'volumi- nous book on Formosa For hun dreds of years the tribes, eight in number. have withstood their enc mics, who have never been able to penentrate to their fastnesses. It re- mains to be seen what success the more systematic Japanese will achieve.
 It seems almost incredible that the station of military force should not be safe from the raids of these head hunters, but 1. was the case a few years ago. At that time one of the tribes crept in the night upon a post of the Japanese and made off with a score of heads.
 Their more usual method Is to stalk the Chinese of either sex when they are engaged in tea picking. The savage creeps up unobse-ved to his victim, transfxes him with his spear, secures his head and is lost in a mo- ment In the neighboring Jungle.

sUBPOENAs ISSUED.
Summons Sent To New York Tn Regis
 tered Mail Package.

New York, August 2.-word was re- ceived here yesterday from Chicago that forty or more subpoenas for ofi- cers and employees of the Standard Oil Company had been forwarded from that city in a registered package last Monday
 The advice from Chicago did not give the names of all those whose presence is considered desirable, by the special officials in Chicago. who are conducting the rebating investigations for the government
 United States Marshal William Hen kel to whom the subpienas naturally would come, said yesterday that they had not come into his hands as yet.
 Several of the ofneials of the Stan- dard Oil Company, who were in their office at 24 Broadway yesterday, would not say whether they had received sub- poenas issued by the United States Court in Illinois but did not show sur prise when they learned that they had been issued.
 Jnquirers were referred to NJ F. Elliott. general counsel for the com pany. Mir. Elliott said so far as he knew, no attempt had been made to serve any of the officials who were In town yesterday.
 course the officials of the company would take in case the subpoena servers put in an appearance late yes- terday.
 we were not positive the bridge was before us," he said, "but we will wait until we reach it before attempt ing to cross it."
 When asked whether he would con- sent to take the package containing the subpoenas and see that each of the documents reached the person for whom 1t was intended, or whether he would let the process servers them selves hunt out the officials, Mir. Ell iott said that while he would like to see the subpoenas first before saying what he would do. he could safely say that the Standard oil Company's ofi- cers would not go to any great legths to discommode the government off- cials.
 I've shall not make any attempt to obstruct them in any way" he said, eff they have any legal papers to serve."

 The negro race needs strong men and women to fight its battles. These must be trained in the Sunday Sciooi where we teach Gods word.

This will make us advance in the scale of civilization.
 Social intermingling with domi- nant race will not settle the great questions. I believe in the complete separation of the races along social lines. and a complete and strong union against sin and the devil and one strong pull for the development of our common country.
