Monday evening about seven o'clock
Joe Davis died from the effects of pis-
toll shot wounds received last Friday
night at the hands of Roy Hale, a lad
about II years of age. Young Hale
had been boarding in the Davis home
and on Friday night he and Joe left the
house about 0 o'clock presumably good
friends and in a good humor. Within
five minutes after they left the house
six shots were heard and Joe walked
back in the room and told his mother
he had been shot and sank down on
bed. A physician was called aud 49,
calibre ball that had entered the back
under the left shoulder bladea and pass
ed through the right lung was cut out
under the right nipple. He received
another flesh wound in the hip.
Every possible medical attention was
given him but death ended his suffer
ing Monday evening.
For nearly fifteen years Joe Davis
had worked in The Comet Office and it
is with a deep sense of grief that we
write of his death. He was just pass
ing the quarter-century mark and all
of life was before him. We knew him
we'll, knew the good that was in him
and knew his faults and have no hest
fancy in saying that the good far out
weighed the bad. He was not only a
high-class printer but when in ration

Many persons who have an interest
in archaeology will he surprised to
know that all the mummles to be seen
IN museums have not been taken from
PARKWAY tombs in Egypt or other east
ern lands. Well preserved mummics
have occasionally been taken from the
ruins Of the cliff dwellers in the noun.
tain canyons of Arizona and In New
Mexico and southern California. These
mummics. though very poor specimens
of the mummfying art. are considered
great treasures by scientists, because
they give the anthropologist II vague
idea of the strange people who had the
earliest civilization on the American
continent. The best Of them are al
most entirely ignorant of who the
Aztccs and Toltecs were. how they
looked and lived and why they have
been so entirely obliterated from the
face of the earth.
The reason for this ignorance Is found
in the fact that no satisfactory remains
or the dead AZtccs have been found.
These people We're crcmatianists. and
they probably buried household effects
with the dead, leaving little or nothing
for the scientist to build theory upon.

She is stcndfast In Affection For Her
Children.
The Chinese mother is very fond of
her children. She is harry in their
company and spends much time car
Ing for them. In II Chinese family the
birth of 4 child is Il greater event than
with other oricntalS. Long before the
''hiid is born the mother performs rites
and ceremonies to propitiatc the gods
that Her Child may he Il boy. After
birth the little fellow is wrapped in
old rags and in winter is sometimes
put in Il bag of sand sewcd close
around its neck Ia keep the little one
warm. Great rejoicing follows the
birth if the child is a boy; otherwise
there is an air OF chaStcned disaD-
Dointmcnt. But good Chinese parents
make the best OF their little lassies,
becoming very fond and even proud of
them. | have known more than one
Chinese father to exhibit his toddling
wee girl for approval, though always
WITH the customary national verbal
depreciation of what belongs to one.
Indeed, this evidence OF excessive
courtesy may be found everywhere in
