The javelines in their wild state are
strictly vegetarians, but when domesticated
they will eat meat and almost anything
that is fed to them. They are naturally
1.-the and muscular and do not a X on fat,
even when abundantly fed.
The ~javeline Is a favorite pet for children
in many ranchhouses OF this section. They
are very affectionate toward all persons
with whom they nave been raised. DIR.
Joseph Wooten, a physician OF Austin,
has made n close study Of javelines for
many years. He say that they are one Of
the most remarkable and least understood
Of all the wild animals Of the Southwest.
He has closely investigated their haunts
and has raised them domesticsted at his
home. Two ~javeline pigs were raised by

him as pets for his two little children. The
animals were the companions and pets OF
his children under all circumstances. The
pigs and the family dog were great play
mates. but should a strange dog attempt
to come upon the premises the j~aveline
would quickly drive it of. In speaking Of
these pet javelines the other day DIR.
Wooten said.
"Javelines are endowed with much more
intelligence than the average animal. They
are far superior to the ordinary hog in that
respect. They are cleanly. INC when raised
as pets about the house they seem TO have
a great affection for every member Of the
household. They are terrors TO strange
people and ANIMALS. however, and will not
permit them to come upon h premises
until forced to DO so. II one of my pigs
got out OF the back lot at night it would
make a bee line for the door, where il would
scrape It's hoofs against the boards in an
effort TO attract our attention 80 that it
might be admitted to the house.
There il one peculiar thing about the
javeline. IL will never turn tail and run.

On June 8 the seventeen returned TO Jail

street meetings were resumed. On the
night OF June 20 two women members who
had been repeatedly warned were arrested.
and the next day F. NJ. Messenger, one Of

damage suits against the Sheriff We're started
and others are threatened. The plaintiffs
are II. p. Maxwell. Charles l.. Capsel. Anti. n
Nelson, Charles Fordham. Thomas Beg

The compliments all declare that they
are divinity students n that they were
in the peaceful pursuit of learning and
experience when they were arrested. They
charge that the Sheriff and his deputies
pummelled them with clubs and that later

and drenched them to The skin. They
further charge that they suffered greatly
by the operation, that they were forced
TO pass h night in their wet clothing
and that great pools OF water were left on
the floors OF the cells in which they were
compelled to sleep.
In the court cases following the arrest
OF the Jumpers the county was forced to
bear the expense Of the defence as well as
OF the prosecution, ever the witnesses for
the defendants being secured at the expense
OF the county. The prisoners filed affdavits
of i~ndigenoy, stating that they had signed
over all property to the association on
being admitted TO membership. Their de-
fence consisted largely Of the citation of
Scriptural verses, frequent sllusion being
made to one In Psalms. Cry aloud; spare
not; raise your voice like a trumpet"
sheriff Dwinnell will fight the suits. He
says that the clothing Of the prisoners was
only dampened by the spraying with water
and denies that any water was left on the
cell floors. He also denies the use Of vio-
lenoe.

Sheriff Dwinnell's disciplinary measures

vain effort to make them keep quiet at night
and in giving them the unruly prisoners
fare of bread and water is responsible for
the damage suits. A small faction Of Wau-
kesha residents sympathize with the Jump
ers, but the majority feel that the religious
enthusiasts provoked all the punishment
which they received.
The present legal proceedings date back
to the might of May 2s, when Sheriff Dwinnell
and his deputies arrested seventeen Jumpers
who were conducting a meeting on a street
corner. jumping high in the air. shouting
at the top OF their voices and throwing
hymn books at each other in their delirium.
This tumult WINS carried on in spite of the
fact that Mrs. Michel Holman was lying
i'll in an adjoining house.
The prisoners jumped all the way to the
Jail and in their cells they continued their
shouting and screaming until 2 o'clock in
the morning. Following a custom which
the Sheriff says has obtained for many
years in Wauk esha county when prisoners
are unruly. the garden hose was turned on
them. but ever this did not dampen their
ardor. IL is the boast OF the Jumpers that
the more they are prosecuted the more
joyful they become.

Dentistry 1000 Years Ago,
From the London cSiobe.

While u~nthoughtful moderns regard dent
istry as being virtually a science OF our own
age. Psychologists know that IL was prac-
tised among the ancients.
The museums OF Rome and other places
in Italy possess various specimens OF dentists
work dating from before Christ. and another
such specimen has recently been discovered
In the Jaws Of a skeleton found In a tomb
at Teano. Thu skeleton Is that OF a woman.
and from the jaws there was extracted a gold
mount containing six teeth. A peculiar
fact about the find is that the teeth. although
Mapped" with gold. we're undoubtedly natural.
and the theory IL that the a~ncients used gold
flaps OF rims TO steady loose teeth.
For artificial teeth the dentists OF the old
world had a fancy for animal teeth. especially
bovine. by reason OF their hardness. though
OCCASIONALLY a person ~ poverty would SCI
one for sufficient consideration.

west. 1t is n OF the few wild animals
that does not hesitate to attack man. 1t is
feared by every deer hunter who visits this
region. Innumerable instances are known
Of hunters having been forced to seek
refuge in trees TO escape javelines. Presi-
dent Roosevelt when Police Commissioner
Of New York made a trip all the way to
Texas to hunt javelines, and spent two
days on a ranch near Uvalde.
When taken as pigs and domesticated
the j~aveline can easily be trained to do
almost any trick that can be taught to the
most intelligent dog. They are quick
to learn to know the members Of the family
and no strange human being or animal is
permitted to enter the house or yard Of a
home where a pet ~javeline is on guard.
They have a bark which is somewhat similar
to a dogs, and when danger approaches
they set up their peculiar cry.
A ~javeline has been kept at the ranch
home of Howard Buntin, thirty miles west
Of Cotulla, for several years. This animal
has a free run Of the place, including the
house. The animals are clean in their
nature and are not offensive around the
house. One day recently Mr.. Buntin had a
guest to dinner. The javeline was not
around when the stranger entered the
house. The meal was in progress when
the ~javeline came across the boots Of the
visitor. Without any preliminary cere-
mony the animal made an attack upon the
feet and legs OF the stranger. The boots
were torn to pieces and the man severely
injured by the tusks OF the beast before
il could be driven of.
1t il the usual custom, or account OF the
v~iciousness OF the javelines, to knock out
their tusks when they are domesticated.
Unless this il lone they are likely to infiict
serious injuries.
Seth Moore lost twelve fine hunting dogs
at the hands of one of these j~aveline watch
dogs not long ago in n few minutes. M.
Moore had been out hunting and had all
OF his pack of dogs with him. At noon he
rode up to the ranchhouse OF a man en-
ployed on the Richardson place TO get
something to eat. Thu house was guarded
by a ~javeline and the animal would not let
Mr.. Moore enter the gate. In a t~houghtIess
moment Mr.. Moore set his dogs upon the
animal. The fight that ollowed was the
bloodiest affair he ever Witnessed, Mr.. Moore
says The ~javeline welcomed the onslaught
OF the twelve dogs. As fast as one Of them
got within striking distance, the javeline's
tusk would rip the assailant wide open.
The skin, OF the ~javeline is very thick

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3.-The
annual message of President Roose-

Of Congress, and practically no bust
ness was attempted by either body
beyond listening to the message. Tie

probable that the food will break out

Speaker Cannon treated the House
to a slight surpriss IA announcing the
membership Of the Committee on
Banking and Currshcy. This advance
formation of that committee led to
the conclusion on the part OF many
that 1t was his intention to press An
anclal legislation, but those who are
close to the Speaker say that his
only purpose was to afford a deposi-
tory for petitions and letters bearing
upon currency questions. The mem-
bership of the committee was in
creased by the addition Of one Demo-
crat. making seven members of that
party on it instead of six as during
the Fifty-ninth Congress. This is IN

City of Live Oak, Florida.
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members OF
the Civic Committee from the WO-
mans Club, in behalf of ourselves,
the members of our club, and in be-
half of every good citizen Of our city,
appeal to you as good citizens and as
City authorities, for a better and
more effective system of street clean
ing.
1t is with regret that We are com
PEELED to condemn the present con-
ditiDn of oar streets to you, and we
eel gteal delkacy in doing So;
still, wetOgetheF will all other good
citiAens}w Ne in layer Of better
eOnditions along Tn ges, feel that
we have an ippsfest fkWhe City and
would liks1sery much 10 see it as tidy
and attractive as possible, eOmmen,
surate with economy and good gov
eminent. =. -.
We believe that you are all in fav
or of the streets being kept free from
litter and trash. but why the same il
not done, and with whom the faul
Lies, We are unable to say. We max
| this appeal to you believing that yo1
are the proper ones to locate an
Iremedy the trouble.
From our experience and obseTa
ton. We do not think trash barrel
and boxes on the streets, are tn
proper methods OF keeping the street
in proper condition. These BARRE
and boxes are only an invitation
litter the streets. Many times refus
i and litter go into them that Shout
not. many times they are filled
; running over; and many times tras
. is thrown at them that miss and Z
y on the street. We have noticed mar
time among the private residence
that all kinds of trash have be-
5 placed upon the streets to be haul
o off at the convenience of the CT
; carts. Sometimes it is never haul
y of.
Il If We are allowed to do So
L would respectfully recommend tn
III the work of keeping the streets Gle
y be placed more upon the individJ
