Big Warships Secretly Built.

The three mysterious "armoured
cruisers" being built for the British
navy are now too far advanced to pre-
serve the secret any longer. They are
not cruisers at all, buE b~attleships of
the Dreadnaught type and a great deal
faster. The secret of the great sue

the stomach, liver and bowls, and when

STAGE DRIVER LEAVES
WITH PATRONS MONEY

B. A. Keith, driver of the Anchor
stage, got away this week with nearly
5000. mostly in checks, entrusted to
him by employees at the Anchor ranch
and people along the mail line, for
purchasing supplies while in the city
says the Thermopohs Independent,
That amount looked good to him and
he thought it better than his job, so
putting it in his inside pocket he pro-
ceeded to hunt new pastures. Up to
this writing he has not been heard of
but efforts are being made to locate his
and bring him to justice.

The devotion of a Newfoundland
dog was pathetic. His master had
gone out in a boat which had over
turned and had been drowned. A
rescuing party arrived on the scene
just too late and took the body to
the other side of the lake, a mile
away.
The dog arrived at the edge of the
water just in time to see the body
Of his master lifted out. Plunging in,
he swan across the lake. The poor
animal licked the hands and face and
when he saw that his caresses were
in vain he seated himself at his mas
ter's feet and refused to move. He
followed the hearse to the burying
ground and seated himself discon-
~solately at the side, of the grave
until the services were over. Then
every day he made a trip to the little
cemetery and lay with his head be-
tween his paws beside the grave.
A few weeks went by and the dog
began to pine. He refused to eat his
food and his visits to the grave be-
came more frequent. And then one
night when the wind was bowling he
started out alone. A few days later
they found his body on the shore and
buried him beside his master

Did you know that ivory billiard
balls catch cold and are just as liable
to pneumonia as the society boy who
goes out without his muller? Any
time a billiard ball gets into a draft
its glands contract cold and cracks
appear on it's surface. Then it has to
be tenderly nursed or there is a fu-
neral in the billiard world. The re-
port from New York that the balls
tween Hoppe and Schaefer and Slos-
son and Sutton were suffering in this
way started several of the local bill.
lard sharks tanning the other night.
The balls used were made of he best
ivory. The owners had refused 500
apiece for them, but they now seem
destined to see an early grave. The
hundreds of spectators who sat
through the recent matches, dripping
with perspiration, did not know that
the hall was purposely kept at such
a high temperature to protect the balls
from cold. Every %precaution was
taken to prevent drafts in the hall,
but even at that a little SILVER of wind
struck the table and the delicate balls
Immediately began to bump. They
became chilled and lost their elias
ITCHY. Both Schaefer and Hoppe
complained of this the first night, ard
Slosson raised a similar protest while
he was being defeated by Sutton. Ed
ward Mclaughlin noticed the trouble
with the balls while acting IS referee,
but he does not attribute it to the
draft so much as to the stone slab
which rested under the cloth. Mr..
Mclaughlin says the stone slab was
put in the hall while cold and had
no chance to thaw out before the
match began. The delicate billiard
balls, after coming u of their warm
nest in a box Of cotton, Immediately
got cold feet from the slab underneath
and contracted the severe cold from
which they now suffer.
