liver GLACIER THURSDAY SEPTEMBER TO- 10

In l6S2, during the reign or Charles
H., a comet appeared Of extraordinary
size, which was observed by Newton,
HALEY and other astronomers Of the
time. HALEY followed its course
among the stars and. comparing his
observations with the records of pre-
vious comets, came to the conclusion
that the comets Of 1856, 1881 and 1907
were but different appearances of the
same object. He staked his reputa-
tion on a prediction that the comet
would return In about seventy-five
years. True TO this prediction. 1t did
appear I'm 1853. when HALEY had been
sleeping I'm his grave for sixteen years.
The reason that the name of Palitsch,
Saxon peasant. has been preserved
TO posterity is that his eye was the
first to catch sight Of the returning
comet.-Popular Astronomy.

New York, June 20, 1908.
MI. f. P. Friday, Hood River, Ore.
Dear Sir: Replying TO yours Of the

ing on the flavor of pitch by reason of
the Iact that the material used 10
making the boxe might be full If
pitch. 1t we knew that to te a fact
we would make it point to use una

all our Ben Davis apples into them,
for they are flavorless, as you know,
and if the flavoi of pitch could be i'm

land office business in them, by rea-
son of the medicinal qualities that
they would contain.

called, all her reserve gone, her fierce
pride thrown to the stormy winds that
blew the fringe Of her shawl into her
eyes.
Realizing that he could not hear her,
she started after him, but by the time
she had covered half the distance sea
Of white swept in between and blttted
him from view.
She hurried on, calling his name re-
peatedly, but the furious wind tore at
her breath and walled her about with
fleecy clouds. She never even made the
bluff.
And when she found that she had
missed 1t and tried TO retrace her steps
the drift had filed her tracks. II she
could only strike the trail! In despera-
tion she turned TO the right and turned
to the left, but one turn Offset the
other.
Thus she struggled ON and on and
still on until In spite Of the biting cold
the perspiratiOn burst from every pore
This was well enough as long as she
kept moving, but when the time came
that she must stop she would freeze
all the quicker for her present warmth.
This, being born and bred OF the
northland, Lorena knew, and the
knowledge kept her toiling. toillng on
until her tired limbs compelled n
pause In the shelter of a bluff She
leaned painting against a rock, all un-
conscious of pair of eyes which
glared from a willow thicket near by.
While she rested the green lights in
the eyes hared brighter, n long red
tongue licked the grinning jaws hun
grily, and forth from his covert stole
a lank, gray wolf.
Lorena uttered a frightened cry.
This was no coyote, to be chased with
n stick, but wolf Of timber stock, q
great beast, strong as n mastiff He
emitted low snarls as he skunk in half
circles across her front lie was un-
decided.
So while he clrcled, preparing for a
spring, drawing little nearer at every
turn, Lorena fell Blackjack toward
the bluff, keeping her white face al
ways to the creeping beast
With sudden inspiration she took off
her heavy shawl and threw it, blanket
wise, over the VOLTS head and then
fed desperately. Once clear Of the
shrub she ran on, plunging through
drifts, stumbling, falling, to rise again
and push her flight.
OF direction she took no heed. Her
only thought was to place distance be.
tween herself and the famished brute.
But when, weary and breathless, she
paused to rest, out of the drab drift
stole the lank, gray shadow.
With a terrified shrek Lorena ran
and ran and ran as the tired doe runs
from the hounds. At last she stopped,
spent, unable to take another step.
Looking around, she saw the wolf, lick
ing his hungry jaws, crouching for the
final spring. With bitter cry she fell
upon her knees and closed her eyes.
Just then two shots rang out In
quick succession. Looking up, she saw
Floyd Jordan, with his smoking re-
yolver In his hand, standing over the
PROSTATE beast.
"Floyd, oh, Floyd" she sobbed as
he came to her with eyes tender and
anxious. He picked her up from the
snow, wrapped her in his coat and
held her against his breast.
The storm was lifting. FarrelIs
cabin could be plainly discerned not
a quarter of mile distant.
I'm dead sure now I'll build that
cabin on my claim" Floyd said as they
started homeward.

A novel device for measuring the
hardness of metals is called the sclero-
scope by Albert +. Shore and DR..
Paul Herould,' its inventors. A steel
ball weighing forty grains, made ex-
tremely hard by special process, is
lnclosed in 4 glass tube, and the hard
ness is indicated by the rebound as
the ball is dropped on the metal under
test A scale measures the height of
rebound On this scale 100 is the
average hardness for carbon steel and
proves to be the safety limit for steel
tools after reheating and tempering.
The instrument is valuable in making
tools of standard hardness. Cleve-

are used for building purposes The
cobs are collected and taken to a fac
tory, where heavy congresses crush
and mold them into blocks of various
sizes just as bricks are variously
nodded. These blocks are bound
with wire, so as to make them hold

to make them water tight and are
ready for use after this treatment. or

HALLEY'S. COMET.
Coming to Revisit Us After a Seventy
five Year Trip.

After an absence of seventy-five
years and after visiting n region that
is perhaps 50,000,000 miles more dis
tant than the outermost planet of the
solar system. Halley's comet Is again
approaching us, and even now is
nearer to us than the planet Saturn.
After Oct, l, 1909, it will probably be
visible to the naked eye.
The return of this Celebrated comet
the first known to move in closed
orbit-causes 1t to be an object of ex-
traordinary attention. Its brilllancy,
Its sensational size, the records OF its
returns extending back nearly 1000
years, the CONSERVATION once spread
throughout the world by the belief
that it would destroy the earth, make
y the most famous comet in history.

Safe Blowers Make Haul.

The store of Harrison. Tucker & Co.,, general merchants, at Bolding, Ark, small town, four miles west of Felsenthal, on the E. & B railroad, was entered Saturday night and the safe blown open and completely footed. At least $50 in currency was secured. The safe and surrounding stock and fixtures were damaged to the extent of probably $500 more. There is no positive clue to the perpetrators, but a party of six or seven well-dressed strangers, evidently not of the common tramp variety, were noticed cooking 'their dinner out in the woods only a short distance from the town. There Is some reason for suspecting that this was the party of crooks that did the work. They scattered apparently, and have not been seen since in that vicin- ity. The work was done in man. her that stamps it as a job of expert 'yeggmen.' Nitro glycerin was prob ably used, as particles of soap were blown all over the office.

Renew Action for Separate Court.

The question of securing a separate court district in Atkins, Pope coun- ty, is again being agitated by citizens in the eastern portion of the county. An effort was made during the recent legislature to pass a special act pro- viding for the creation of the district. but it failed to become a law At a recent meeting of the Pope County Democratic Central Committee a re- solution was introduced asking that the committee devise some means by which the question should be submit ted to the voters of the county. There being no special act empowering the committee to submit such question to the voters at the general election, the idea was abandoned. It is now pro- posed that the nexI legislature be asked to pass such act, providing for a special election for the submission of the question within 30 or 60 days after it's passage, providing the citi- zens of the territory affected shall first file with the county court a good and sufficient bond to cover the cost of the election, and also providing for the erection of court house at Atkins by the citizens of the eastern portion of the county, providing the vote should be in favor of 6 separate district.

Rev. James Thomas Vindlcated.

At conference at San Antonio, James Thomas, his attorneys, Thomas S. Buzbee and Thomas M. Mehaffy and G. w. Hester, a banker of Devine, Tex, and his attorney, M. w. Davis of San Antonio, compromise was ar- ranged in the $50,000 damage suit for libel brought by Rev. MT. Thomas against Hester in the Hot Springs Cir cult Court, by which MT. Hester paid $1,000 to Mr. Thomas to have the suit withdrawn. Mir. Hester also made affi- davit retracting the statement made by him, which was the cause of the suit, in which he charged Rev. MT. Thomas with being one Otto Brock. rascal, whom he had known at Car r1zo Springs, Tex, years ago.
 The conference was brought about at the request of MT. Testers attor- ney. Last Monday night MT. Thomas and his attorneys were preparing to leave San Antonio for home, after spending four or five days in Texas, taking depositions to be used in the suit against Hester. MT. Davis came to them and asked them to stay over until the next morning, stating that he and MT. Hester were ready to ar- range settlement if it could be done. Rev. MT. Thomas and his attorneys had secured the depositions of some 15 witnesses and had very strong case, but as MT. Thomas stated that he was not after Testers money, but simply his own vindication, the mat ter was settled by the payment of $1 ,000 and retraction of the state- ment made by Hester.
 MT. Thomas has also secured a vol untary affidavit from the Rev. l. K. Waller of Madill, Okla, the only other man who ever identified him as Otto Brock, in which MT. Waller states that he is now satisfied that MT. Thomas is not Otto Brock This, with the testimony of fifteen witnesses, all of whom swore that Rev. James Thom- as was not Otto Brock. it is thought is enough to completely exhonerate Rev. Mir. Thomas from the charge which was brought against him by the members of the Methodist church more than five years ago, and which has never until now been entirely dis proved. The charges against Rev. MT. Thomas have caused great disturb ance in Methodism here intermittent ly for five years, and have resulted in the temporary suspension of one J. s. Hawkins, a Methodist minister, and caused much bitter feeling be- tween MT. Thomas friends and those who have been foremost in pushing the investigation of charges against him.
