HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Henry Got Rid Of the Dogs In Short
Order.

Mr. Nelson, who was much annoyed
by stray dogs burying bones in his
garden at Linden Hills, secured a
lion while he was In Europe, paying
$2S7.5e for rather weather-beaten
king OF beasts, but one that was guar
anteed in every respect. The lion be
came a great pet on the way over and
came TO know his masters voice and
obey It. Its name was Henry.
Arrived at Linden Hills, Mr.. Nelson
let Henry out into the back yard and
simply waited.
At 1880 on the first morning New
foundland dog as large as small
garage walked into the yard to step
on the flower beds as usual and to tip
over the garbage can. The lion saw
the dog enter the yard and the dog
just barely saw the lion.

That was all. 1t was the sound
made by Henry eating the dog. AT
$40 a monster bulldog smelled his
way into the garden to rip up yard
of soil among the petunias.
"Ki-yi!"
Crunch"
The bulldog had gone hence. BY
1880 Henry's score stood:
One Newfoundland, one bulldog,
four fox terriers, an Irish setter and
two plain dogs. Everything that came
into the yard collided with the lion,

Mr.. Nelson was so joyous over the
experiment that he could not go to
work that day, but just sat around
and felt good. In six weeks the dogs
were either all in or were avoiding
the place by going two blocks the
other way. Then the circus came
around, and the lion was SO fat and
glossy that Mr.. Nelson disposed of
him to the menagerie department for

Fate Of a Prince Albert.

When Commander Peary went on
his first trip in search Of the pole he
won the gratitude of an Esquimo by
presenting him with an ancient Prince
Albert coat and extensively creased
sombrero. Years afterward, when
again in. the. north, the explorer re-
ceived a ceremonial visit from the
native, and, to his surprise, set eyes
once more on the discarded vest
ments.
On the occasion of the comman-
der's latest dash for the pole the
aborigines took him aside and
pointed to a rude mosoleum. By its
side stood the disused sledge. It's six
dogs had been strangled to make an
appropriate funeral. On the pile of
stones lay what was left of the Prince
Albert coat and the sombrero.

THAT RARE ANIMAL, MAN.
Seldom Caught Before 8 O'Clock in
London, Never in Day Time.

Time was when London was one Of
the capitals where man could be dis
cerned with the naked eye in the day
time; but now he is almost invisible
except at certain favored spots In the
city and few eclectic clubs at Pail
Mall.
There was a period considerably
later than the stone age, when this
interesting but rare creature was to
be observed feeding quite tamely, at
literary and political breakfasts Later
on, he was still to be enticed by fair
hands to lunch parties, and was some
times found lowering near the tea
table of some beautiful and expert
tanner between five and seven.
But with the new century this rare
creatures habits have altered most
completely. for he is seldom to be
caught before eight D. m. on week
days. and has habit, moreover, of
retiring to remote haunts and OBJ
scure thickets from Friday night till
Monday afternoon.
Il has been observed that the
younger and best bred specimens ex-
hibit curious dislike both to the
immature and elderly females of their
kind, but have been known to show
marked animation when enticed by
young and comedy matron, and will, on
these occasions, approach without
fear, and even feed out of her hand

a NEW SCHOOL DESK.
Provides Support for the child's Back,
Where II Is Most Needed.

In the belief that proper seating
facilities play an important part In
the welfare Of school children, George
W. Ehler, supervisor of physical
training, and Director of Schools
Charles Orr worked until they have
perfected what they believe is the
best seat and desk in the country,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The seat is constructed according to
Ehler's own plans and is based upon
an exhaustive set of measurements
made by him last year In the schools.
IL provides support for the childs
back, where 1t is most needed, at the
base of the spinal column and the
small of the back Another strong
point Is that the seat proper is pitched
backward only slightly, keeping the
body at a restful angle Both seat
and desk are adjustable The new
desks are being installed in all the
new buildings and grow In favor
wherever put.
Until the perfection of Ehler's inn
proved seat there were two forms of
desk used In the schools The first
was the old-fashioned desk. not ad-
Unstable at all, and made in unvary-
Ing sizes for the different grades. 1t
presupposed that all children in the
same grade would be OF a size.
Then came the so-called '1iver-pad"
desk. The back of the seat in this
style of desk consisted of a single
concave rest, to be placed at that
point where the child's back most
needed support This was faulty in
two respects. In the first place it
was narrow and held the child's body
In a vise-lke grip and in the second it
gave support at only one point, where
as the spine requires support at sew
eral points.

Csmphor Trees.

Says Secretary James Wilson, OF the

the department has been distributing
camphor tree seed and thousands of
trees are now growing throughout the
south and Pacific coast states. Two

to develop the manufacture of cam

results have been secured and large

Ratty Fallon's
Grab
BY ELLIOTT WALKER.
Copyright. BY Daily Story Pub. Coz

As Fallon peered from the alley for
the tenth time. he drew back with a
jerk to make quick, professional prep
arations for the reception of the vic
tim coming hastily down the dim, de-
serted street.
Steady. now, Ratty," he whispered
TO his excited pulses, for the APP
preaching footsteps rang on the walk
with the firm tread of a vigorous man.
You're, workin alone, ye know, an
not feelin' none too smart-but, here
goes fer yer sick kid"
His teeth ground savagely as he
gripped his short, loaded cuban in
genious weapon of lead and leather
with wrist loop.
Again Fallon squeezed a wary
squint around the cold bricks, his face
pressed close, his cap rubbing the
wall.
A glance satisfied him.
Soft hat, big Teller, hands in peck

some gent out late a-hurryin' home.
Guess he won't git there soon's he
calkilates. I'll nail him on the nut
from in front. One--two-now!"
Like a hunted animal, the slim,
wiry figure crouched and leaped, strik-
ing heavily with his club as his feet
made rapid shift on the sidewalk,
which brought him within nicely cal
culated distance of the bent head.
But his prey improved that second
of establishment in most unexpected,
and, to Ratty Fallon, dsconcerting
manner.
His whole left side seemed to shrink
away with lightning twist, his head
moved a few inches with the turn,
and the weapon of Ratty grazed harm
lessly down coat sleeve.
The sleeve came up and out as the
assaulted one wheeled back. 1t was
too sudden for Ratty, that smashing
left fist. Between his narrowed eyes
it slammed, and as the thief stagger-
ed, a heel tripped him.
Fallon lay upon his oack making
feeble struggles. He knew exactly
what he was about The man on top
was choking him fiercely, but not pro-
fessionally. With tense neck mus
