and sea bottoms. When in the course of nges the water disappeared and the mud hardened into rock their skele- tons were preserved in a petrified state.
 In this primeyal sea and around it's shores lived during the cretaceous age numerous hOrdes of the great scaly- coated trachodons, who walked erect on their massive hind limbs and waded about !n the swamps and marshes searching for food. Along with the trachodons there lived at the same time two fierce types of carnlyorous dinosaurs, namely, the tyrannosarus, and the three horned monster the tri. ceratops. These were the deadly enc mics of the raahodons and constantly attacked and preyed upon them.
 The remains of the dinosaurs of her. bivorous types are more frequently found than those of the fesh-eatins dinosaurs, and their skeletons are like wise preserved more complete, all the parts being usually united together. Remains of large carnivorous dinosaurs are never found Intact, but scattered.

The Remittance Man.

Throughout the west from Cape Nome to San Diego, stretch long ranks of pioneers, building great cities, turn. ing arid deserts into fertile plains, har. messing mighty rivers to do mans bid ding. clearing away primeval forests laying the foundation of an empire in lands where solitude has reigned su. preme. But one figure stands aloot from the sternfaced. hurrying thronx, unmored by all their clamor and con- temptuous of their feverish strivings It Is the Remittance Man. Here on the skirinish line of civilization, with the roar of battle ringing In his ears with men on every side of him rushing eagerly into the fray. some to emerge victorious, some to fall fighting gallant. ly against odds, he remains an only. slightly-interested onlooker The re- mittance men in large numbers como from England and are supported by money regularly sent to them. They have left their native lands on account of some scandal, or infraction of the law, or family disagreement, and form few ties here.

Cruel Spring.

The talk in the village hostelry had been on the subject of vegetable freaks, but at length 1t veered around to goats.
 Did you ever keep a goat, Blll?' Inquired a gray whlskered gentleman in corner seat.
 Did I ever." answered the little man addressed with rustic familiarity. "1 bought one last Christmas what nearly brought me to the work us Eat anything, from tins O blacklng to flatirons, that goat would. Lucky thing for me the spring killed It."
 "I didn't know the seasons affected goats" observed the gray whlskered gentleman.
 Who's talkin' about seasons?" came the reply. It was the spring of our alarm clock what e made a meal of one day as done it!"-London 1t Express

 World Knows the News Quickly.
 This Is greeted by more cheering and everybody Is happy except the friends of the defeated. They move to make the nomination unanimous with for nal grace that lacks enthusiasm. This Is done and the band plays. h the meantime the click of the telegraph in- strument shows that the news has been carried to every town and hamlet h the country.

 No matter how long 1t has taken to choose a nominee for the Presidency, the whole performance has to be gone through again when 1t comes to nom mating a candidate for the second place on the ticket. There are not 30 many "favorite sons," however, and one ballot frequently suffices. More noise, more enthusiasm. The convention has nominated the ticket.
 Each State delegation, at one of itS conferences, has chosen Its candidate for member of the National Committee. The election of this committee is now in order. It Is put through quickly, as rule, and without hitch. Then reso- lutions of various sorts are passed.
 The ticket is named, the convention passes into history and the battle for power and patronage begins. The dis trict delegate goes home. His towns men congratulate him on his good work Philadelphia Public Ledger

der a resolution adopted at an annual meeting of that body, and is inviting suggestions thereon preliminary to It's submission for approval at the next an- nual meeting. Many matters are coy- cred by the "canons," and unquestiona- biy the highest professional ideal un- dcrlies all of these. But 1t is very easy for gentlemen at the top of the profes- sion to lay down austere rules against the abuses of the fragrant and grosser kind, those characteriZing the shysters, the ambulance-chasers, so-called, and the employers of agents and runners" The difficulty arises in connection with the subtler and more respectable" abuses of the prosperous and eminent members of the profession, the kind of abuses to which, for example, Mir, Roosevelt called attention in his liar ton of law through technicality, the defeat of substantial justice through delays and quibbling, the setting up of questionable plans and defenses, the use of the higher" sophistry to dlscov- CT methods of eyadlng and thwartins legislation imposed in obedience to gen eral public policy? There is one canon in the proposed code which, somewhat vaguely to be sure, hints at these prac- tices. It declares that mo client, cor porate or individual, however powerful, nor any cause, civil or political, how ever important, Is entitled to receive any service or advice involving disloy- alty to the law" The same canon says further that the lawyer advances the honor of his profession, as well as the interests of his client, when he "ren- ders service or gives advice tending to impress upon the client and his under taking exact compliance with the strict est principles of the moral law" The moral law, all will agree, frowns on chicane, artful dodging, the sacrifice of merit to trivial technicalities or fan cied niceties of procedure, the seeking of delay for the sake of delay or in the hope of something turning up." But is the canon sufficiently explicit? Will 1t exert an appreciable influe1cei The proposed code is admirable as far as 1t goes, but the layman will restrain his enthusiasm over the prospect of elimination of the graver, because less palpable and less notorious, abuses un- til he has watched Its operation for some years.

The Quality of Mercy.

The notorious mountain moonshiner, famlllary known as Wild Bill, was tried before federal court In Georgia and was adjudged guilty. Before pro- nouncing sentence the judge lectured the prisoner on his long criminal rec ord and at last informed him that the court entertained no feeling of anger toward him, but felt only unmlxed pity, sentenced him to spend six years in the federal prison at Atlanta.
 Bill stolldly shifted the Quid of to- bacco In his mouth and turned to leave the courtroom with the marshal. Once outside the only thing he said was this ::
 Well, suah am glad he want mad at mel"

seventeen feet in the air, the two short fore limbs, only few feet in length dangling In marked contrast to the long and powerful hind limbs.
 This mighty reptile was one of the ancient inhabitants of Montana and fourlshed some three or more millions of years ago, during the upper cretac- eous period, near the close of the age of reptiles. One of the remarkable features of the beast was that In his large head, nearly four feet long by two feet wide, there were some 2,000 teeth, the greatest number possessed by any animal In the world.
 This dental battery was used In nibblng fruits and tearing up and munching various water plants and other soft substances which grew on the lake and river bottoms, as the dinosaur was entirely herbivorous. The simple teeth were closely packed to- gether, were rod-like and single-rooted, and were arranged like a mosaic pave ment The enamel was only on one side, on the inside in the lower jaw and the outside in the upper jaw.
 As the teeth were worn away an other row appeared on the cutting sur face and took their place. Each jaw has from forty-fve to sixty vertical and from ten to fourteen horizontal rows of teeth.
 The mouth, which broadened out In the shape of duck-like bill, was GOV cred with horny sheath like that of birds or turtles.
 There Is little story connected with the finding of -he big trachodon. 1t escaped the keen, trained eyes of the fossil hunters sent out yearly by var- ous colleges and scientific institutions riding along the Bad Lands of Mon tana.
 One of these noticed a protruding, weathered bone coming out of the side of cliff and held It to be a buffalo bone, while the other took the view that It was probably fragment of a worthless fossil animal. In order to prove his theory he dismounted and proceeded to kick of the tops of pre- cious ribs exposed above ground. These being brittle immediately fell In broken pieces, thus concluslvely proving to the dissenting cowboy that they were fossils and not the bones of a modern buffalo.
 Soon afterward another ranchman, a bit more wise, heard of the find realized the possible value of the buried bones, having been around the camps of the fossil explorers, and traded six-shooter with the first cowboy dlscoverer for his interest in the bone claim. The new owner sold

HIS TERRIBLE EYES.
Senator Cass Could Almost Parnlyze
 Man With n Look.

Man With n Look.
 Giant heads, bodies and brains were Webster and Cass. All the strength of trated In those two sons. To look upon them made the ordinary man feel small. Wonderful eyes they possessed, and men have been known to shiver with dread when one or the other al- lowed his glance to fall upon them. Cass could look through a stranger In a way to make his brain burn and his knees knock together. One searching stare seemed to destroy all mentality and fill the victim with paralytlc emo tions.
 No man dared take liberties with Cass. In 1916 the proprietor of the National hotel in Washington was man who so closely resembled the great senator from Michigan that he was often mistaken for him. An old friend, returning from a journey, en. tered the lobby. and, seeing him lean ing against the desk, slipped up be hind and hit him a terrific whack op the shoulder, saying cheerily and si- multaneously Hello, old man. Here I am back again. How are youT Senator Cass strengthening up his six feet three and, turning upon the assall- ant his terrific, boodshot eyes, almost annihllated him with q look. Not word was spoken. That look was ann pie. The stranger was so "rattled" that he could not even apologize, bu. slunk dejectedly out of the hotel.
 Later in the day when congress was supposed to be in session the stranger returned to the hotel to shake hands with the proprietor and tell him all about the Cass incident. Walking bravely up, he laid his hand down on his friends shoulder and, without wait ing for a greeting. surprised him with: See here, old fellow, you got me In deuce of a scrape this morning. Why, you know. took old Cass for you, slapped him on the back, nearly taking of a shoulder, and the old fool looked at me as if he wanted to vom- nit murder. The darned old lunatic, why doesn't he stay out of here! He knows" Again the great senator from Michigan straightened up his six feet three, again he turned his blood shot eyes, again he looked and again the victim fed. Two mistakes of that kind In one day.

THE "FIXER" OF GOTHAM.
New York East Side Character Has .
 Real Mission in Life.

Real Mission in Life.
 You will not find him mentioned in the city's charter nor on the pay roll of Greater New York, but the east side "fxer" is an established institution and is as important in his way as the po- liceman who samples the wares of the pushcart peddler, or as the white robed street cleaner.
 When aliens come to this country, says the American Hebrew, and are enmeshed in a mountain of ordinances and regulations It Is obvious that their lapses from the straight path marked out for the native must be viewed with an eye of softened by kindness.
 This eye of kindness is the 'fxer.' He is the man who rushes to the rescue of the unfortunate wight who has been caught in the wheels of the law and who needs sponsor.
 Necessarily the 'fxer' is the inti- mate friend of the ward heeler, of the district leader and necessar rily of the judges of the minor courts. He is usu- ally bluff, hearty, good-natured and with genuine love for his fellow citizens
 "When pushcart peddler Is sud denly made to realize that he is violat- ing the law by standing on one spot for more than the regulation number of minutes, and he is arrested by the DO liceman who has been sampllng his beans or his fruit, 1t is not a pleasant situa ton In which he would find him. self if he had no means of communica. ting with friends who are friends oS the 'f1xer.'
 Tt Is the 'f1xer' who sees the district leader for him, who appears in court to say a good word for him, who sees the judge before the case is called, and who, if necessary, puts up the bah to take him out of jail for the night
 Tt must not be supposed that the 'flxer' Is philanthropist. He disdains ethics and civic virtue as the fana tic mouthing of the sllk-stocking folk. What he does Is done for his own good
 If he does not receive his fee in money he knows he may count upon the rescued individual for his vote, and A vote is easily converted into monetary value As the friend of those in dis tress he becomes an influence in the neighborhood, and an army of such friends may lead to political prefer ment of lasting importance"
