French Economy.

"a man doesn't have to go to Paris
to learn something about the econo-
my of French cooks" said janitor.
"All he has to do is to get a job like
mine in a house occupied mostly by
French families, and he'll learn some
astonishing lessons in the art Of saw
ing. Up to two months ago 1 was
working in building of that kind.
So far as attending to the garbage
was concerned, had the easiest time
of my life. There was practically no
garbage. The people lived well
enough, guess. Anyhow they re-
ceived packages from the butcher and
grocer, but they never seemed to
throw anything away. About the only
thing they didn't eat was coffee
grounds and potato skins and tomato
cans, and there was precious little
waste of even that
where I am working now the fami-
lies are all American. That is where
the food goes to waste. The people in
that house throw away enough pro-
visions every day to feed all those
French families a week."-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

The Bite of a Doa.

II want to say a few words about
hydrophobia," said physician. when
an animal bites through clothing there
is little or no danger of infection. The
virus is on the teeth Of the animal and
when the person bitten has received
the wound through layer of clothing
there Is little danger.
tThe virus on the teeth is left in the
clothing and is not communicated to
the person bitten. Rabid dogs or other
animals are not like reptiles. They
have no hollow teeth through which
poison may be communicated. It must
be introduced directly into the system
Of the victim. -..-.... ...
Therefore, when a supposedly rabid
dog bites person, If the bite is not on
an exposed part of the body he should
have no fear."-Washington Post.

LOSING MONEY IN RED RIVER
VALLEY

jamestown Capital: Harry Corn
wall returned home today from his
trip to Canada and to the northern
part of the state. He, says harvest
Is not yet we'll underway in Mani
toba and that good many harvest
hands from eastern Canada are COM
ing into Winnipeg, many Of whom
are expecting to remain in that part
of the country. There is little heard
in the city of Winnipeg regarding
the big strike on the G. P. R. On
the return trip several stops were
made in the Red river valley, and
inquiry Supt. Cornwall, an old grain
buyer, learned that many of the
quarter sections in Pembina, Walsh,
Grand Forks, and Trail counties,
and in fact throughout the Red riv-
er valley were losing investments to
their owners on account of the weeds
that have over-run the country. The
wild oats, mustard, king head,
shepard's purse and other weeds.
have become such a drawback to
profitable farming that many farmers
are at loss to know what to dc
with them. Flowing in the fall and
sowing to winter rye, which grows
rapidly in the spring and chokes out
weeds, is one plan that is being used
and blowing in the spring, planting
corn in check rows and cultivatins
the soil as Is done in Illinois anG
Indiana is another way of cleaning
the land of weeds and not losing thu
use of the land for one year.

Bees and Their Baskets.

Every bee carries his market basket
around his hind legs. Any one ex-
aiming the body Of bee through a
microscope will observe that on the
hind legs of the creature there is a
fringe of stiff hairs on the surface, the
hairs approaching each other at the
tips, so as to form a sort of cage. This
is the bees basket, and into 1t, after
successful journey, he will cram
enough pollen to last him for two or
three days. .-. ......~..-

Enraged at Refusal Of Wife
to Give Him Her Property,
Tries TO Kill Her and Then
Suicides

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-A husband
past the allotted three score years and
ten, shot twice at his wife, an octo'
generian, and then blew out his own
brains in Forest Park yesterday. The
woman was only slightly injured.
August Engelhussen, IA years of
age, and his wife were married five
years ago. It was the third cruise
on the matrimonial sea. Mrs.
Schwartz, the widow whom he mar
ried, owned their home at GO Ferdi-
nand avenue. He had designs upon
the property, it is said, and asked
her to will it to him. She refused.
He worried about her refusal and
is said to have threatened her. With
great cunning he determined upon
numbering her. Following violent
quarrel yesterday, he appeared re-
pentent and acted friendly toward
her. He secured one of her favirite
books and walked into her room.
"My dear" he said, ''you are tired.
Will you lie down and read?"
She feared him and did not lie
down, but she did take the book in
her bonds and glanced through it.
AS she gazed at the pages he drew
revolver and fired. The bullet just
grazed her forehead. He shot again
and missed. Mrs. Engelhaussen
arose from her chair and grappled
with her husband. "A hand to hand
struggle ensued in which she was the
victor. She wrested the revolver
from his hand and threw it to the
floor. 81 .- -r
Mrs. Engelhussen ran into the ap,
partment of Mrs. Josie Koeff, 9
boarder in the house, and locked the
| door. A moment later her husband
fired two shots into his head, dying
instantly.
When the police, whom the wife
called, arrived at the home, the whit,
haired woman was kneeling at tn,
side of the dead form of her hus
band, stroking his hair. The revol
yer was still cIutched tightly in hi
right hand. r..%

AT POUGHkEEPSIE

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. 21.-
Close finishes were the order on the
last day of the Grand Circuit meeting
at Hudson River Driving park this
afternoon. The 2:14 trot in the first
heat developed the most sensational
finish of the week. Aloma led handily
to 100 feet of the wire, when Geers,
who was back of Loyal, made one of
his old time drives and fairly lietfd
the horse under the wire, winning the
heat in 2:1O IA, which was a quarter
of a second better than his winning
time last week.

THE FOUR CORNERS OF The EARTH

Following out the scheme of making
a new production each succeeding
year, Klint & Gazzolo this season an
nounce their latest, which is a spec
'tacular melodramc, called aThe Four
Corners of the Earth" The story is
one of great interest, with score or
more Of characters. The play opens
in lower California near the border
line of Mexico, and the succeeding
scenes and acts are located in Mex
leo, Japan, Asia and several other
points of the earth. The incidents of

the play follow each other, so quickly
that the stage time Of the story does
not cover many days, and in the seem
ingly brief period the situations al
most crowd each other. Through OPP
portunity for studying, the different
members of the cast, the author has
been able to adjust the characters
nicely, and production based upon
the best calculations is the result.

years as lapidary polishes gem, and
the result was he made it gem. In

written SO little he replied, Because

Prince Makes His Escape from the Stable

ONE afternoon Mary and Jes-
sic wre swinging on the
barnyard gate. They would
open it wide and ride back on it
as it shut. They were just ready
for ride when the little girl
next door called to them to come
and see her rabbits. They ran
off, leaving the gate wide open.
Prince, who was at the other
end of the barnyard, saw a load
of very tempting hay down the
street. He found the gate open
and started after it.
Jessie cried, "Jackl Jack
Prince is out" Jack dropped his
marbles and all the children
chased the runaway pony.
Prince had now reached the
hay load, but finding that he was
pursued he turned and dashed
up the road, running right
through a back yard where a
washing was hanging out. He
became entangled in sheet and
could not free himself. The wo-
man came out and set her dog,
Bruno, on him. The poor pony
was nearly distracted and with

the sheet over his head and the
dog barking at his heels, he ran
wildly up the street, crashing
over fences and flower gardens.
At the next corner two boys
on a donkey were trying in vain
to make their balky animal go,
but when he saw Prince running
past, with the sheet trailing be-
hind him, the frightened donkey
ran as he had never run before.
Soon the tattered sheet caught
on fence and Prince, glad to
find himself free, ran faster than
ever up the road that led to the
canyon.
The children by this time were
quite out of breath. ooh, dear, !"

growing palmer. Here and there were
tufts of grass and Jack could see they
were nipped; he supposed they were
nipped by Prince. Jack was in good
hopes now. He sat down on a stone
to eat one of his sandwiches and to
rest a little. In a few minutes he was
on the track again. After taking
few steps he thought he heard Prince
whinnying. He hurried in that direc-
ton. There he saw-yes, 1t truly was
Prince.
Come, Prince. here's some sugar"
called Jack, taking lump of sugar
from his pocket. Prince seemed to
know what the word sugar" meant.
1t took little coaxing to get him by
the NAME Prince was very glad to
get the sugar and to see Jack, for he
whinnied and rubbed his nose against
Jacks cheek.
Jack put a rope around the pony''s
neck and led him home. The girls
were almost overjoyed when they saw
Jack coming with Prince.
Prince never tried to run away
again, so 1 suppose he did not have

Graduate from Bolsa school, Santa
Ana.
late that night you might have seen
them still talking over Princes escape
and planning his capture.
The next morning all three arose
with the sun and together with two of
Jacks friends they started off. They
went toward the canyon and through
the hills, but nothing was to be seen
of Prince. One of the boys suggested
going across the hills into the town on
the other side. Arriving there they
walked along the road which led to
the country. Though they asked many
times no one seemed to know anything
about the pony.
At noon they were on the outskirts
of a, dense forest They sat down to
rest and eat the lunch they had
brought with them. AS they sat there
talking Mary saw something SHINING
in the grass and went to see what 1t
was.
"Jessie-boys," she cried; come,
quick
There in the grass lay a new horse
shoe. Perhaps it was Princes. Look
ing closely they saw hoof prints. They
