Beyond the fact that Henry Hudson
was English nothing is known of his
birth. In 1907 Hudson sailed from
London in a tiny vessel-the crew con-
sisted Of ten men and boy-to discov-
err the Northwest passage. On this vcy-
age the navigator passed the eightieth
degree of latitude. Two years later
Hudson sailed for North America and
discovered the Hudson river, up which
he sailed $50 miles. In 1910 Hudson
sailed in an English ship named the
Discovery and discovered Hudson
strait and Hudson bay, where he win
tered. The crew mutinied and set Hud-
son, his son John and seven infirm sail
ors adrift in boat. Nothing has ever
since been heard of the great sailor
who gave his name to New York's
river.

eermany's New Railway Ratss.

The new German railway passenger
rate is 2.68 cents a mile, first class.
with no reduction for round trip tick
cts and no free baggage. For express
trains the rates will be higher, causing
a substantial addition to the cost of
travel. The object is to keep local
passengers off the long distance trains.
For second class the rate a mile is 1.72
cents, with an additional charge for
baggage and for express trains. Rail-
way tickets are taxed This adds to
the travellers expense. The density
of traffic averages much greater in
Germany than in the United States

In railway carriage perched on
cliff overhanging the Severn. near
Bridgnorth, England lives Henry Hud-
son. man who has travelled extern
sively, published more than one novel

wood, which are being considered by
the British military authorities.

Some time after midnight Peter, who
had been lying motionless In the deep
shadow of the front porch, lifted his
head and blinked his red eyes. For
moment he heard nothing but the wind,
and then a window creaked as 1t was
slid cautiously up
Peter skunk across the grass and sat
down on his launches, silently expect
ant, beneath the window. A cat wait
ing for mouse could not have been
more alert than his white bulk His
ears caught the tinkle of silver, heard
the soft splutter Of ''noiseless" match,
and he felt rather than heard padded
footsteps which after time stole up
stairs. And then there came the scream
Of frightened woman. At that Peter
stood up and, with bowlegs planted
firmly, waited at attention
Footsteps, and less soft ones than
the previous ones, sounded on the
stairs. A clinking bag was thrust out
Of the open window and was followed
by the leg of man. Peter gave lit
tie spring and took hold. The man lost
his balance and fell upon his back,
with Peter on his chest.
Three seconds later Mrs Carey
thrust her head out of the open dining
room window to see what had become
Of the man. When her eyes took in
the situation she gave a little cry of
joy. Then. realizing that Peter was
hardly more than a pup and might not
be able to hold out against the strug-
giles of the man, she dashed across the
yard and rang the Leightons doorbell
furiously The whole affair had been
so noiSeleSs that, though all the win
dows were up, the Leightons had
heard nothing. Mr. Leighton thrust
his head out and demanded an. expla-
nation and then reached the front
porch so quickly that his wife said
afterward that he must have slid down
the banister
He was not any too soon, for the
burglar had managed to reach his re-
volyer. and as Mr. Leighton vaulred
the porch ratings there was a report.
Peter growled savagely and took a
firmer hold.
When the man was securely bound
with many yards of clothesline, Peter
slowly and with infinite dignity left
his post and held up his wounded paw
to be bandaged. Mrs. Carey put her
arms around his neck and kissed his
blunt nose, at which demonstration he
was serenely unmoved.
Peter now wears a silver collar with
an inscription which would make him
vain were he an ordinary dog, and,
moreover, he hardly knows who are
the members of his immediate family,
so Intimate are the two families

LITERARY lMPosToRs.
Many Clever Writers Who Have De-

Many Clever Writers Who Have De-
ceived the World.
Clever literary impostors who have
deceived the world are numerous
GamClli Carrieri, Neapolitan gentle
man and scholar, while confined to his
room for long period of years by i'll
ness amused himself by writing an ac-
count of an imaginary voyage round
the world. When the volume was pub
iished it was taken as fact even by
learned people.
The detailed account Of trip to
China which is credited to Du Halde
Is another literary hoax. The author
had never seen China and had been
sufficiently clever to compile the work
solely from the memoirs Of Chinese
missionaries.
1t is remarkable, though no less a
fact, that "Gulliver's Travels" was
thought to be a true narrative when 1t
first appeared, and the famous story of
Damberger's travels was likewise a
hoax.

events, but later it was discovered that
his works We're purely fakes. The vol
umes of this writer resemble those Of
Gregorio Reti, who, in order to keep
himself from starving, appended the
most unheard of incidents to English
history as it was known.
One of the most daring impostures
on record Is that of Joseph Vella Of
Sicily He said that he discovered sew
enteen of the lost books of Livy in
Arabic. He then set to work and
wrote a translation from his fancy,
which was printed. After his death
the fraud was discovered. Before his
death. however, he fell under suspi-
cion and was condemned to imprison-
ment.
There are countless cases of authors
selling their names to be put on works
they have never read Sir John FILL
once contracted to translate a Dutch
book. After the agreement he remem-
bered that he did not know word OF
Dutch He then bargained with an
other translator to do the work for
half the price he was to receive.

Must GO to Court
Big Wood Water Claim
ants Advised to Enter
Claims Before De-
cree is Made.

Referee Cowen, of Salmon, is still
busy hearing testimony in the Big
Wood river water case, and expects to
be hearing the same for month to
come in this county andin Blame county
where he will go soon, perhaps next
week.
Some idea may he had of the magni-
tude Of the case, when it is estimated
that there will be not less than 1000
pages of typewriter testimony alto
gether. Each page will contain about
300 words, or not less than 600, 900 words
in all. Even this, however, is not quite
up to the record established in the Snake
river water case, which required three
months to take the testimony and there
were more than 5000 pages to be
written and transcribed by the clerk.
Referee Cowen calls attention to
fact which is of vital interest to large
number of people in this county. There
are more than 900 persons named as
defendants in the case. OF these, per
haps one-fourth have made no response
to the summons of the court to come
and defend their rights. AS this is to
be final decree of the water of the
river, so far as it affects the rights
of the claimants now on the stream,
it will be necessary for any one who
has claim to water to appear and de-
fend the right. Those who do not
appear may find that the water is all
appropriated, their own farms left out
of the count and the apportiOnment of
the water, and they left with dry
farms on their hands. 1t is a default
of appearance such as can be entered
in anv other civil suit, and those who
have rights must defend them or risk
losing all by their neglect. 1t is not
enough to have a valid water right,
bv prior filing; when the river is de-
creed, the owner of the water right
must be on hand to get his share de-
creed. or the water may all be appor-
toned without him, and then the only
way he can get water is to steal it,
when he runs the risk of very jealous
and powerful court. The Journal would /
suggest to all who have water rights .
at all affected, that they had better go /
at it at once, for without a court de-
cree their water rights will be of no
value.
