Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind. do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous.

be that this company, during Mr.. KEEL

of repeated violations of the insur-

although upon careful and minute
reading of the report it cannot be dis
covered that Mr.. Fleming takes the

Washington, d. c., Feb. S-For
nearly three hours today members of

threshed over the greater navy ques.
ton, preliminary to Mondays vote,
which will decide whether the com
mittee shall recommend an appropria-
ton for building the four battleships
asked for by the department and urg-
ed strongly by the president, or shall
recommend the building of only two,
in accordance with the general policy
of retrenchment supported at the pres
ent session by the republican major
ity.
No decision was reached and though
the discussion was more or less frank,
no member announced in advance his
vote. Representative Hobson Of Ala

White House this week by the presi-
dents invitation to canvass the stu
alton in the committee and the house.

The outlook is that the committee will
recommend the construction of only
two battleships.

Two Horse Tales.

An Albanian who had been in an
eastern state while freshets were in
full swing told the following about a
horse which had been attached to a
footbridge crossing brook to keep
the structure from going adrift. The
flood finally swept horse and bridge
down stream. Later the bridge was
discovered lodged against the bank,
with the horse sitting quietly on the
former.
A bystander who had listened intent
~ to this tale remarked quietly:
II see suthin' similyar oncet."
Indeed? What was it7" asked the
story teller.

AN UNc0NoUER PEAK.

lizard Head on Mount Wilson Has De-
fled tho Climbers.
The mountains and peaks of the San
Juan in northwestern Colorado pre-
sent different appearance from any
Of the northern Rockies.
They are grander, more precipitous,
with sharper pinnacles and more Jag
ged In outline. In height Mounts Mass.
i've, Gilbert and Blanca slightly out
rank those of the San Juan, but no.
where else can be found whole groups
Of mountains rearing their heads to
and above $4,000 feet.
Mount Wilson Ii, 250 feet-the dom.
inant peak, is one Of the most massive
in the entire Rocky mountain range.
Just east Of this mountain is the re-
markable trachyte obelisk called Liz
ard head. The vivid imagination Of
an early pioneer who had been Seeing
things" is said to be responsible for
the name.
The summit is IA, 100 feet above the
sea. From ponderous base the pin.
nacle rises 300 feet, with diameter at
the foot of only about sixty feet, grad
ually tapering to less than half that at
the top.
Lizard head has defied all attempts
of mountain climbers to reach its sum-
NIT. The foot Of the pinnacle is easily
accomplished, but thus far the steep
sides of the 200 foot shaft have proved
insurmountable. No doubt the time
will come when the venturesome
mountain climber will find way, but
many a failure is the record Of the
past

work in Wisconsin is now carried on
under three rules.
1. Comparative" which gathers
laws and cases from all over the
world.
2. Critical" which deals with
the practical working of the laws.
8. Constructive" which assists in
the final drafting of bills.
Such departments have been es-
tablished in the state libraries of
Alabama, California. Indiana, Michi-
gan, Nebraska and New York. Balti-
more has started municipal depart
ment on similar lines and Milwau-
kee and other cities are preparing to
follow.
North Dakota is taking the first
steps towards legislative reference
bureau. Letters have been sent to
all legislators in the state asking
them to suggest subjects likely to
be of special interest at the coming
session. Their replies will be care
fully noted and whenever possible
complete information on the topics
mentioned will be made ready for
use. This is done not by the pur-
chhase of books but by clippings and
correspondence.
The work is strictly non-partisian.
The bureau will not suggest legisla-
tion but only assist in its prepara-
ton. 1t aims to supply lawmakers
whatever their political beliefs with
the tools for their work. Some of the
subjects on which work for the de-
partment has already begun are ag-
ricultural laws, food laws, road and
school laws, railroads. banks, corpor-
ations, employers liability, drainage,
forestry, grain inspection, public
lands, animal industry, prohibition,
primary election, referendum, irri-
cation, insurance, telephones and
telegraph. Other topics will be ad-
ded to the list and it is hoped the
bureau in North Dakota will prove
as great success as In other states.

BURIED IN CEMENT.
The Story Of an Arab Boy Who Re-
nounced Mohammedani

The Story Of an Arab Boy Who Res
nounced Mohammedan
According to history, there was born
about the year 1920 an Arab boy
named Geronimo. He was captured In
infancy by the Spanish garrison at
Gran, and when about eight years old
he escaped from his captors and went
back to his family, living as Moham-
medan until the age of twenty-five.
He then voluntarily returned to Oran
and resumed the Christian life which
he had adopted previously when in
the hands Of the Spanish authorities.
A few years later he went on coast
ing raid with party of Spaniards,
but the raiders were themselves cap
tured by a Moorish corsair and
brought to Algiers. Here the attempt
was made to convert him to Moham-
mechanism, but he persistently refused
to embrace that faith, so that he was
tried and condemned to die. His hands
were tied behind his back, and he was
cast alive, face downward, into block
Of concrete then being prepared for
the Fort des Vingt Quatre Heures,
then building. Careful note was taken
Of the spot by Haido. Spanish Bene-
dictine missionary to Algiers, who
prayed the time might come when the
Lord would pave the way for his ex.
humation and Christian burial. In
1853 the French found it necessary to
destroy the fort, and the data left by
Haido were found to be correct, for the
designated block Of concrete on being
cut open disclosed the bones Of Geron-
limo and the cavity left by his body.
The bones were removed Dec. ~, 1868,
and given Christian burial. and they
now rest in a massive stone sarcopha-
gus in the cathedral. A plaster cast
was made Of the cavity and afterward
photographed.-Ce Cement Age.

Alphonse looked him over carefully.
