rRlED 70 DRIVE OUT DEVIL.
Filipino Witch Doctor May Have
Caused Death Of Girl.

A Filipino girl, is years Of age, was
beaten and tortured until her life is
now in danger in an attempt to com
pei a devil to leave her body" The
operation was performed by one Esco-
lasticos Ramos, the husband Of her
mother, and Tuburio Mables, a witch
doctor. The girl has been subject to
commissions and these, according to
the doctor, were caused by a devil
who had taken abode IN her body
AT his suggestion 1t was decided to
ill-treat the girl until the devil should
become uncomfortable and leave her.
Taking the girl into a side room they
knocked her down and commenced to
beat her with fists AS the devil did
not seem to leave it was decided that
the girl was not suffering enough pain.
Securing a large stingaree whip they
beat her with this and also used It to
scrape the skin from her face, arms
and body. The girl is now at her
home in serious condition, while the
two men are In custody Manila

for It's entire height Of nearly $4,000
feet is revealed.
No one until 1903 had ever looked
into Colima's crater, for It was merely
q great chimney. The top Of which was
the point Of the cone. No one had
climbed the mountain. and the crater
was not visible from the plain below.
No lava was ever known to over
flow the lip Of the crater. The erup-
tive forces sent columns Of black vol.
canic dust miles into the air, but did
not seem TO be sufficiently powerful TO
lift the lava quite up to the top Of
the cone. The symmetry Of the noun
tain therefore was not destroyed by
outpourings Of molten rock
The accompanying picture, from a
photograph published by the me-
teorlogical observatory Of Mexico,
shows that a great change IN the ap-
pearance Of ColIma has taken place.
The picture was taken in 1903 after
the eruption Of March 2 Of that year.
The blast coming ont Of the crater
simply tore the top Of the mountain
TO pieces. The crater was enlarged to
many times Its former size.
All one side OF the upper part Of the
cone was torn away. The rim Of the
crater is now about a mile around and
presents an irregular border on all
sides with projecting points in the
form Of crown
This Is the latest example in Ameri-
ca Of volcanic energy SO tremendously
powerful as to carry away the upper
part Of a mountain and make great
and permanent change IN its appear.

ed States army,
Until a half dozen years ago Lord
Fairfax resided In the United States
His family had been connected in
times past with that Of George Wash
ington BY ties Of marriage. Possess.
Ing Scotch peerage, he disdained to
make use Of 1t, preferring his birth
right as an American. He was thus
not only from an American but like
wise from an European point Of view
a far more distinguished parsonage
than an impoverished Scotch peer, liv-
Ing IN London. with no land in Scot
land, no castle, no seat in the house
Of lords, no powerful relations, and
compelled to work for his living, with
nothing but his barren title by way Of
capital.
The Fairfax peerage was created In
1927, and the fifth Lord Fairfax left
his home and estates IN Scotland in
1872 for America, because be was di'-
appointed in love and. as he believed,
badly treated by tho members Of his
family BY an arrangement with the
crown he secured a patent for tract
of over 100000 acres Of land in Vir-

the colonies ia mis- day. He was the
friend Of Washington and employed

Simple Methods That viii Cure AMI
NAL q Gun shynsss


Any dog can be cured Of gun shy
ness if you take enough trouble and
exercise enough patience. declares
Joseph n Graham, ln Outing. The
process proceeds on the inference
that, since he Is alarmed because Of
memory or fear Of disagreeable cir
cumstances, he must learn to associ-
ate the gun with the agreeable.
It Is best to apply the treatment
when the dog Is on game. In prob
ably four cases out Of FIVE, he will
quickly learn to disregard the gun, or
like it, If you let him hunt up the
game and chase IL, shooting when he
is at a distance and in hot pursuit.
Often gun-shyness disappears the
very day he makes his first solid
point and becomes deeply interested
In the business. In the midgt Of this
new delight. he disregards other mat
ters.
Sometimes the fear Is too strong,
and a regular treatment must be un-
dertaken. Oftener the owner will
have a short shooting season and
does not care to take chances on a
quick cure. His dog must be ready
for business when the season opens.
So, 1t is necessary to know the sys-
TENS which have been successful in
dealing with this trouble.
One man put his bird dog to chas.
ing cats When the cat was treed,
he would slap his hands and "sick"
