Indiana Mayor Believes in Municipa
Treatment of Drunkards.

Murphy, who believes in municipa
treatment of drunkards. recently ac
cepted the offer If drink -habit-curt

pion jag artist of Wabash. An an
nouncement of the intended treatment
orough. food of letters. and agents
from rival cure concerns, making re
quests, and even demands, for sub
jects.
To make the matter worse, "Tish
got out of Jail before the drugs came
and now the mayor will be forced tc
await her indulgence again before he
anything to do with it, the city Off
cial will have but short tims tc
wait.
1t is possible tina. another will re
ceive the first experiment. fof g
chronic drunkard is now in jail.
Mayor Murphy. in advocacy OF mu
nicipal treatment of drunkards, says:
"As general thing, the people who
drink have not enough Will power to
take a treatment. and even if they
have the will, they rarely have any
money to pay the expense. The aver
age cost to the city and county OF q
chronic drunkard for one year IL $50
The cost of the treatment will not be
over that. 1t it cures it will te .
grand thing"
Mayor Murphy believes it the duty
of the municipality to cure. If possible

Kaiser a Fast Eater.

Paris. = Escoffier, the famous
French chef, who was the German
emperor's favorite cook on his cruise
this summer. tells Paris reporter
that the emperor eats more at break.
fast than at dinner, and that his ia
vorite dish is chicken stuffed with a
tomato and paprika dressing. Every
chicken served at the imperial table
bears on its breast the imperial crown
and eagle made of stiff white sauce
The emperor is fond of asparagus
from Argenteuil. He prefers light
dishes as rule and eats so fast that
his guests. who must keep up with
him. have small chance to en;Ay the
delnacies set before them.

Two Strawberry Crops.

Some interesting experiments In
strawberry culture are reported from
the truck farming districts of the
southern states. The most recent re.
suits are announced from small val
ley In Tennessee. There the fruit grow
ers have successfully produced sec
ond crop of strawberries which equals
the first of the season. The work has
been accomplished through cultivating
the beds and forcing the plants into
bearing for the second time every year.
As result the New York markets are
to be supplied with choice berries for
the holidays. The innovation prom
ises to make big difference In the
demand for cranberries and other
fruits.

Buck Killed by LIoness.

A desperate fight between a large
lioness and a buck of unusual size oc-
Cured In the mountains on upper
Beaver creek early this week, accord
ing to j. w HUFF, when riding the mills
in search of cattle. who was an eye-
witness OF the battle. says the Canon
City. Colorado correspondent OF the
Denver Republican.
He said the fight started on the
scraggy point of mountain, where
the lioness jumped onto the deer,
which turned and fought the lioness
with its antlers and hoofs. They
rolled down the hillside into gulch,
breaking down oak trees as they
fought. The battle did not last a great
while. as the lioness was much the
stronger. The deer was badly clawed
and chewed and soon fell from loss Of
blood.

|OLD COLONY ON WANE
LAST REMAINING SETTLEMENT
OF FRENCH PASSING AWAY.
With Decline Of Fisheries little Town
on Island Of MiqueIon, OF Mouth
Of st. Lawrence, Fast Be-
coming DepopuIated.

Sydney, c. B.-The last remaining
settlement of the once vast domain of
France on the North American con-
Pierre, on the island of Miquelon, of
the mouth OF the st. Lawrence river,
is fast becoming depopulated. Grave
concern is felt by the French govern
ment over the serious condition of af-
fairs. The feeling of the French gov
ernment over the shrinkage in this
tiny island possession is not due to
pride alone. From the intrepid ma
rines of Miquelon she picks the men
from whom she builds the fighting
strength of her navy.
The exodus of the inhabitants of
Miquelon has long been noted. Can
ada is striving to build up her great
northwest and is offering strong in
ducaments to immigrants. The fish
ing industry OF st. Pierre has been
failure for the last two or three
ye.rs. and with the sole means of
sustenance taken from them the de-
scendants of the hardy French ex-
pIorers have faced actual starvation.
Government steps have been un-
equal to relieving the privations en-
dured by its colonists. Recently 100
immigrants landed at North Sydney
from one schooner in charge of Dr.
4. A. Brisson, head of the colonial
tion department for the province OF
Quebec. DR.. Brisson says that on
the next trip 200 more will come
and that the end will not be even
then. and the population of Miquelon
is numbered only by hundredc.
The hardness that has made the
men of Miquelon famous in romances
OF the sea will now be employed In
new ventures. Nearly all the able
bodied men have been promised en-
ployment in pioneer railroad con
struction. and others will seek some
steads in the wheat belt
France has made determined ef-
forts to maintain this foothold in the
west. When the tide of emigration
set from the island she filled up the
gap with colonists from the fishermen
OF her own shores. But with the de-
cline of the fisheries and with the
ceaseless struggle for a meager exist
ence growing continually harder the
colonists have refused to remain.

Mechanical Smoker.

The Department of Agriculture has
employed cigar smoking machine In
a series of tobacco tests. The machine
has four mouthpieces, in one end OF
which cigar is inserted. For ten sec.
onds the smoke is drawn in and ex-
hailed. While the smoking is under
way careful note is taken by experts
of the way the filling and wrapper
burn, the ash is examined and the
color observed. The plant from which
each of the cigars is made is known
and from the one making the best
showing seed is selected for planting
The experiments are resulting in the
raising of better American tobacco.
