complete and separate reports of each
convention; the flash report, as it is
called, which consists of bulletins
sent out ahead of the regular descrip-
tive matter; the sketch. or running
report, that gives all the striking
incidents of the proceedings without
attempting to make fun report of
them; and then the stenographic re-
port that includes everything, ver-
batim. The sketch report is the most
important. 1t is the most readable
eral public cares to read. We use
the stenographic report at night in
completing and dovetailing the mat
ter turned in by our several writer's
and in supplying absolutely complete
accounts to such papers as want
them.
Besides these reports there are
the night and day leads, or intro
ductory paragraphs which practically
tell the story, and the condensed re-
ports that we furnish to some papers,
so there is plenty to keep our entire
force occupied. We are allowed a
trifle more latitude in handling con-
ventions than in most other kind of
news. The convention reports are
more free in character and there is
more speculation INDUCED in. Down
at Chicago the only matter of uncer-
tainty was the nomination for the
vice presidency, and we sent out a
good deal of speculative matter on
that topic up to the time it was defi-
nitely settled"

In this court it is not to be taken
for granted that there is no cure for
the troubles save in separation. On
the contrary, 1t is to be assumed that
reconciliation is not only desirable
but possible, and it will remain for
the hearing to demonstrate n differ

and woman come before the court
they will be called upon to explain
the causes of their difficulties and
if these be found trivial and easily
rem edied. they will be advised TO
drop the case and return to their
homes.
1t is probable that there are both
lawyers and courts that have done
something like this for many years

THE MIGHTY LION.
IL Is Easy Enough to Scare Him #
You Know Just How.


If q lion or tiger suddenly appears
before you, just hold chair out III
front of him, and he Won't do thing.
Allen Williams, who, in the course or
his experience with wild animals has
been in that predicament often enough
to lnow, says: These creatures have
q much more limited intelligence than
is generally supposed. They can take
IN only one thing at a time, and the
four legs Of chair would keep any
lion busy thinking for long time.
THAT is the reason why animal
trainers carry two whips when they
are In the circus ring. One for crack
ing and awing the performers, the 9th
er for emergencies. If one Of the lions
tries to attack him the trainer simply
holds the reserve whip in front Of him.
The two objects together are too much
for the lions intelligence, and be IS I'M
medlately subdued."
Another proof Of the limited lntell-
eence Of the cat tribe, say trainers, Is
the fact that their performances must
always come In the same order OF sue
cession. If by some accident the order
Is broken, the animals are completely
lost, and the trainers are few who can
keep them in submission once they be-
come confused. In fact, most trainers
consider themselves lucky in O case OF
this sort if they can get tie lions
quietly back into their cages.
The whole cat family, moreover, Is
as treacherous as it IS stupid.-MilWau'

A TENDERFo0T's REVENGE.
Bully Of New Mexico Town Had the
Tables Turned on Him.

The average tenderfoot is not cow
ARD. He simply lacks ranch expert
ence An illustration Of this fact oc-
CURED down In New Mexico several
years ago. One day q pale looking,
thin and sickly young man alighted
from the train and put up at the lit
tie adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The
tenderfoot walked up to the bar and
called for bottle of soda pop.
"Tain't allowed to drink that sort O
stuff out here" said toughy. What
you want is a stiff drink O red liquor.
Mr.. Barkeeper, set out the pison for
this young feller." "You have the best
of me-" replied the tenderfoot, "and
I'll have to drink the stuff, but hope
the time may come when l can make
you drink my choice Of liquid
The tenderfoot raised the glass and
gulped down the whisky. Sandy had
had his way about it, and he made no
effort to comprehend the vague remark
Of the stranger. The tenderfoot left
for a ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the incident In the saloon,
and he was forgotten until one after
noon more than a year afterward a
strong, healthy looking young man
rode up to the hotel on q broncho,
dropped the bride reins upon the
ground and dismounted. lie had the
appearance Of q typical young man of
the range His face was bronZcd and
his eyes clear and penetrating. 4 owe
a fellow q debt which I believe will
pay right now" the stranger said.
No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked off in the direction Of
Sandy, who had his gun in his right
hand and was firing it into the air
every few steps. The stranger ap-
preached Sandy, pulled his gun and
uncerem oniously dragged the bully up
to the saloon and lei! him in that fash
ion up to the bar. Get me pan Of
water and set it upon the hoor." he
said to the barkeeper.
The order was complied with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering What
was going to happen to him. Nov,
get down on the floor and drink water
out Of that pan like dog" the former
terderfoot ordered. Sandy st first re-
fused, but when the stranger began
tw;rling his gun around on his fore6n-
ger and said the order must be obeyed
the cowed fellow unlimbered and lay
down upon the floor and began drink
ing water out Of the pan.-Denver Field

MOHAiR AND ALPACA.
These Fabrics Come From TWO En-
tireIy Different Animals.

tireIy Different Animals.
THE other day I heard :, couple Of
men arguing about mohair and alpaca,
one of them gravely asserting that
they were different names for the same
fabric" said q New York importer
"The assertion was very far out Of
the way. The cloth known as alpaca,
il genuine, comes from the wool Of the
animal Of the same name, which
thrives only in the -Andean regions
of Peru and Chile in South America.
The alpaca, or paco, which resembles
the llama, looks good deal Ike our
domestic sheep and has o most beauti-
ful fleece. Great focks Of them browse
on the highest ranges of the Andes
and are the property Of the native In
dams, who shear them once a year.
Many efforts have been made to breed
the alpaca In different parts Of Eu-
rope and Australia, but without sue
cess. \ cargo Of them was brought to
Baltimore some time in the middle Of
the last century, but the experiment of
raising them in the United States was
likewise failure.
THE cloth known as mohair comes
from the Angora goat, very different
animal from the alpaca. The angora
is found in South Africa, but the lar
gest focks are found in Asia Minor

WATERLOO.
The !mmutability Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.

The !mmutability Of the Famous Old
Battlefield.
One Of the most striking features Of
a visit to the battlefield Of Waterloo
today IS the immutability Of the entire
scene n which one Of the greatest bat
ties Of history took place. Notwita-
standing the many years that have
passed since the memorable day Of
June is, 1915, the entire scene Of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide Of battle surged
the fe-cest, save for the necessary res
torations Of the damage they sustain
ed In the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any eacroachment
of building or progress marred the his
toric field.
The battlefield Of Waterloo Is an
open, undulating stretch Of good farm
ing land. On the day Of the battle the
greater part Of it was covered with
crops Of rye, wheat, barley and oats,
and the same crops are still CROWD
there each season. The field is inter-
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont st. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay in the center Of both
armies, led south to Genappe, Char
lerol and Namur Upon the crest Of
the ridge which formed the first Of the
allied positions crossroad runs east
and west. This road, on approaching
the spot where the "Lion Of Waterloo
now stands, ran through cut In the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and it was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 500 yards to the south
east of the Lion" is the farm Of La
Eaye Sainte, while about 900 yards
to the southwest stands Hougoumont,
the old chateau, farmhouse, outbuild-
ings, walled garden and orchard, which
played such an important part In the
fate Of the day. These buildings are
nearly 300 years old and were built
with view to their defense, as many
old stone loopholes still r be found
testify. = Robert Howard Russell in

"Dined tonight with the lord chief

Bulwer Lytton IS clown He was
shabbily dressed and sidled into the

about to drop it and 1ooA-d as though

tered, and he said nothing. It Is al
most impossible to believe he wrote
the works which pass under his name

He has a great nose like Fytzbau or
Bardolph, but not so red as the lat

opinion Of him. But I told it to him.
And he was ashamed Of his guest"

MARVELLOUS MACHINES.

The sensitiveness Of the human or
ganism is gross indeed compared with
that Of the marvellous machines man
has made. a Photographic plate cou-
pied with a telescope discovers millions
Of stars whose light the retina Of the
eye does not appreciate. The micro
phone makes the inaudible tread Of a
fly sound like the tramp Of cavalry
men. The human heat sense cannot
realize q difference Of temperature be-
yond one-ffth Of degree, but the ba-
tometer, an instrument 100000 times
as sensitive as the skin, notes differ
ence Of millionth Of a degee. a gal
yanometer fexes its finger at current
generated by simply deforming drop
Of mercury SO as to press it out Of i
spherical shape into that Of an egg.
The amount Of work done by the wink
Of an eye equals 100000, 100000 Of the
winks marked on the scale Of a delicate
instrument, but even this performance
IS surpassed by the coherers Of Branley
Of Paris by which the Hertz waves Of
wireless telegraphy are caught in their
pulsings through space. The range Of
impressions which we get from lifting
an object is exceedingly small. An Or
dinary chemists balance Is some mil
lion times as sensitive and weights
down the two hundredth part Of nil
ligram. Without such instruments as
these we should know far less about
the world than they place within our
reach. They make 1t evident that our
sense organs give US reports Of but g
comparatively small number Of COM

Of cooking cabbage are the best. Cab

knows 1t not What would he say to
the information that in the northwest
Of California grows q mighty continu-
Gus forest Of these great trees and that
it takes days to travel merely from
end to end Of that forest, which is
longer than the distance from Boston
to New York or from Chicago to st,
Louis. Yet such is the case.
On the ridges and fats Of Humboldt
is the forest, and In that forest the
trees grow to twenty-siN feet in diane
ter and tower 400 feet toward the sky.

Eoreet Of Stone In Australia.

In Albany, in Australia, IS to be seen
a stone forest-in other words, petrlhed
trees. The trees are Of gray stone.
It is suggested as an explanation OF
the strange phenomenon that in the
depths of past ages the forest was ID
full vegetation and then through some
upheaval of the earth it was buried in
sand. Little by little water acting on
the sand penetrated the branches and
solidifed.
The wood gradually disappeared IN
der the layer Of stone and in time took
its form. Then in succeeding years
the winds again carried away the SAND
and the forest appeared anew, but OF
stone.-London Globe.
