One winter when Thaddeus Stevens
had come back to his Vermont home
he was the victim Of severe cold
and could aot leave the house for many
weeks. One of his callers was Lewis
Clark, a man Of short stature, who
in earlier days had been playmate OF
the "Old Commoner" and was near
neighbor Of the Stevens family In their
Peacham home. Nermonters had just
begun 10 wear buffalo coats. and Mr..
CLARK arrived at the Stevens home al
most lost in a coat which reached to
the ground. His upturned collar com
pletely covered his ears and face. while
a fur cap completed the disguise

Stevens in an incredulous tone.

The Crocodile. strong jaw.

Sir Samuel Baker in his Wild
Beasts" says that the power Of the
Jaws OF the crocodile is terrific. Once
he had the metal Of large hook, the
thickness Of ordinary telegraph wire,
completely bent together, the barbed
point being pressed tightly against the
shank and rendered useless. This com
preston was caused by the snap OF the
Jaws when Selling a live duck which
he had used as a bait. the hook being
fastened beneath one wing. On one
occasion he found a fish weighing sew
enty pounds bitten clean through as II
divided by a knife. This. again. was
the work OF a snap from the jaws Of q
crocodile. NJ. Paul Bert once made
experiments on the strength Of croc-
odiles jaws by means Of a dynamome-
Ter. He found that a crocodile weigh
Ing 100 pounds exerted a force Of 3Oe
pounds In closing his Jaw. The lion
has an enormous jaw power. On one
occasion an African traveller pushed
the butt end Of his gun into lions
mouth. aud the pressure Of the jaws
cracked II as though II had been struck
by q steam hammer.

A traveller in Venezuela gives an In

but they travel in schools. Their teeth
are three cornered ANY living object

Tools Cheap at Junk Shops.

In every large city VIII be found
places where secondhand or Junk
tools are sold. Tools of all descrip-
tions, adapted TO every branch of
mechanics, can be bought at prices
ranging from one cent up.
A good-sized paint brush brings two
cents, a carpenters hammer five
cents, pick or shovel % cents, a rip
saw ten cents, and so on. According
to Popular Mechanics, the average
price is less than one-tenth what the
new article would cost at a hardware
store, and the tool is often just as use
full as a new one.
Some of the stuff in the motley col
lection comes from unredeemed
pawns, some from junk dealers and
a good deal from parties of whom no
questions are asked.
Frequently quite valuable tools and
instruments can be had for a mere
song, as most customers want the
tools of ordinary use requiring less
skill to handle.

Judge Ruppenthal gave the ladies
of the Public Library on Monday even
ing an interesting talk zon the subject
of Public Libraries, telling of the Pub
lie Library in Russell that has been
owned by that city for many years and
urging them to get the voters of Hays
to vote this spring to own and maintain
one here, and turn them over the books
of the present library as a starter
The Ladies became much enthused
with the idea, started out the next day
and quickly got the required signers,
filed with the mayor and the question
will appear on your city ballot for the
voter to decide-Shall the City of Hays
own and maintain Public Library?'
The following is the law:
Upon the petition of so taxpayers
presented to the mayor and city council
Thereof, such mayor and council shall
cause to be submitted to the legal vo-
ters the question of the establishment
and maintenance of a free public Ii
brary and reading room by such city;
and If the majority of the votes cast
at such election shall be in favor, the
mayor and council shall annually there
after levy tax of not to exceed one
and a half mills on the dollar on all tax
able property and to be known as the
Library Fund.
If carried the Mayor appoints twelve
directors who serve without pay, the
mayor of the city being chairman.
