CRY HAS NO CEMETERY.
WASH, 22 Years Old, Never
Had Death.

Spokane, Wash.-Twenty-two years
city and yet no cemetery within q
radius Of 40 miles, is the claim ad-
vanced by the residents of Metaline,
Wash. To make the claim even more
remarkable, the city has been dead for
% years, although it had great mineral
at its finger tips, awaiting its awaken
ing. But within the last week 1t has
shown signs Of coming to its own.
Metaline Is unique in many respects.
The absence Of a cemetery is a case
in point. Colville, 40 miles distant, iss
said to have the nearest cemetery II
was solemnly told by old-time citizens
that there had been no funeral there
since the city was founded, and that
not one person had died of illness.
One must go away in order to die" Is
the way they put it to one. They claim
sickness is almost unknown there.
Dead Mans Reef" below the falls,
has five graves along the shore, but
this is occasioned by drownings that
have taken place up the river toward
Newport, the bodies floating to this
point, where they are thrown on the
reef and are placed in the ground with
out funeral or casket.
Indications point to great future
for Metaline. 1t is now wholly depend
ent upon the steamboats, that ply reg
ularly between Newport and lone, a
distance of so miles. The boats can
not go below lone, which is five miles d.
above Metaline, the rapids impeding
further progress.

QUESTION OF HENS IDENTITY
Man In Court Released When Mother
Proves Fowl Is Her Property.

Boston.-Upon the Identification OF
a hen, a big buff-colored cochin and
eight fluffy little chicks, depended the
fate Of John Cullen, of Hyde Park, IN
Dedham court, where he was arraigned
on charge of larceny. A number OF
hen fanciers were in court. They sized
up the hens legs, examined her Dill
and looked over the chicks with crit
ical eye, while Cullen waited IN
anxious expectancy. The hen was
finally identified by Mrs. J. P. Cullen
Of Garfield street, the defendants
mother, and he was discharged.
Cullen was in Dedham with hen
under one arm. A suspicious peeping
sound attracted the police.
II hain't seen muffin or no chick

spite of his protests one of the OH
GERS thrust his hand into the mans
coat pocket and found number Oh
chickens.

HousEkEEPERs FORM UNION.
Will Resist Exorbitant Demands of
Servant Girls and Fix Wage Scale

New York.-To resist what they re-
gard as the exorbitant demands of
house servants, the women of Norris
town, N. j., are planning to organize
a Housekeepers' Protective union, and
a meeting for organization will shortly
be held. 1t is proposed that the women
shall each promise not to pay more
than certain price for certain classes
of servants. In this way 1t is hoped
either to drive out the high-priced
servants or to make them agree to
new scale of wages.
"The servant question" one woman
deeply interested said, 'is now one
that brings no good to any one ex-
cept the intelligence office and the
undertaken. 1t is emptying our
pockets. breaking up our homes and
making our lives such a burden that
1t is breaking down strong women.
THE servant problem must either
be solved SO that people in ordinary
circumstances can employ them or
else we will become a people abso..
lutely without home life."
The women say that in 1901 wait
resses received $12 a month, while
the same class now demand $40 to
S25. In 1891 it was said cook who
would do the laundry work received
$14 and now the cheapest wage
cook will work for is s25 and she will
not do laundry work.

AToMIZER RoUTS BURGLAR.
Latter Jumps from Window When
Girl Turns on Spray.

Chicago.-Congratula are still
being received by Margaret Hobbs.
the 17-year-old daughter of Roy Hobbs,
because she had routed burglar.
Miss Hobbs and her parents had
been seated on their front steps for
some time when Miss Hobbs went in
to the house for a letter she wanted
to mail.
Suddenly there was crash within.
Mr.. Hobbs rushed into the house. His
daughter was standing near window
holding an atomizer in her hand. An
odor of lilac filled the room. The win.
dow was open.
"Oh, you ought to have seen him
run," laughed the girl II guess this
gun of mine scared him more than he
did me-"
Miss Hobbs then told her father
that on entering the room she had dis
covered the burglar. She took the
atomizer from a bureau and turned
the stream of perfume on the intruder.
He Jumped through the window.
The same burglar is believed to
have robbed several houses in the :
same neighborhood of small sums.
Miss Hobbs said: 'I surprised him
as much as he startled me. But, oh,
it was funny. When he got whifr

The hat adds a note of color to the

overwhelming. Everything is now

DAMAGE Done by Rats.

1t is estimated that the rat does
$50,0OO,000 worth of damage year in
England. In a slaughter house near
Paris rats in single night picked to
the bone the carcasses of 35 horses.
There is very little that they will not
eat; eggs, young birds and animals
are among the dainties which they
snap up in the ordinary course of bust
ness. But when pressed by hunger
they will eat anything through which
they can drive their terrible teeth.
Rat will eat rat. The idea that a
trapped rat will bit off an imprisoned
leg and SO escape is now said to be
wrong; it is the other rats which do
the biting. They eat the captive.

bons are things of great beauty; of
such beauty that no one could marvel
at their popularity.
For party frocks the latest idea is
to combine broad Pompadour ribbons
with frills of narrow satin ribbon, ar
ranged in bold scrolls. 1t is fad of
the moment to arrange ribbons to imi-
tate stripes on muslins and piece
laces. 1t is becoming fashion to
slender women, but 1t tends to make
the figure look just trifie bulky.

New York, Jan. 22.-The United
States government was declared on a
par with the Russian government, in
failing to legislate for the protection OF
women and children wage earners at a
mass meeting held last night in Car.
negie lyceum, under the auspices of the
various charitable, labor, and sociolog-
ical bodies. One of the speakers said
that in comparison with Great Britain
the United States stands now In the
development of it's child labor laws
where Great Britain stood in 1914. An
other charge was that instead Of adj
vancing in such legislation the coun-
try has been steadily retrograding for
the past eleven years.
A resolution was adopted by the
meeting calling upon congress to ap-
100000 to defray the expense
of q thorough investigation of all wom-
en- and child labor in the United States.
The meeting was presided over by DR..

He criticised President Roosevelt for

congress that it is practically impossl-

Governor Swettenaam, of Jamaica, III

chief interest now centers in the gov

give the first adequ ate means of deter
mining the govern ment's final course
in repudiating or condemning the gov
ernor's action.
This explanation had not been re-
ceived during the early hours of the
day, altho dispatch reached here
from Swettenham setting forth the pro-
gress Of the relief work, without any
mention Of the insident which caused
the American to withdraw from the is
land. This dispatch was not dated, in
dicating it was sent before he received

indicated he had ever advocated the

on the American home, was hysteria
pure and simple.

tials of the reelection of Senator Frye,
