The Other Side.

The opponents OF socialism referred
to competitions as being means OF
increased activity, an incentive TO ex.
tend business and to prevent excessive
profits The accumulation OF wealth
Is privilege enjoyed since mankind
commenced their earthly career, and
with IL has been accomplished all OF
the most wonderful and beneficial
achievements In this or any other
country, and by its use and circulation
1t stimulates all the industries where
by all are able to procure the necessi.
ties and pleasures OF life. The opportun-
tiles for advancement are abundant,
the facilities for acquiring fame, posi-.
ton, and usefulness never were more
easily obtained than at present under
the splendid institutions established
under our government and the liber.
ality OF many Of our citizens. The &C.
cusation OF the past l25 years OF our
government being a failure Is an as.
founding declaration when we note
the wonderful progress that has been
made In that time and the difficulties
that have been overcome, and the
high position this nation holds as
power Ia the world at the present
time. Indications are that tins gov
eminent iseveryt thing except q failure.
The charge that the millions of loyal
liberty loving citizens OF this country
are so depraved that they cannot tell
the difference between genuine liberty
and deception Is most absurd. To
accept socialism as here represented
is to take backward course.

PRESTON, Idaho, March l5.-A
grand character ball was held in the

Tho Lions Attack.

AS to lions method Of attack Fred
erick Courteney Selous says in his
book: "As rule, I think, a lion seizes
a sleeping man by the head, and in
that case, unless it is very old and
weakly animal. death must usually be
instantaneous, as its great fang teeth
will be driven into the brain through
the thickest negro skull" Similarly,
when lion attacks an animal it tries
to get at the head or the throat-at the
vitals Of the animal. Says Mr.. Selous:
MY experience is that when single
lion tries to kill an OK or a buffalo It
Invariably seizes It near the muzzle
with one paw and usually succeeds in
either breaking its victims neck or
causing it to break it itself by its own
weight in falling. When several lions
attack an OK or buffalo they will
often bite and tear it all over and take
long time to kill it,

No Sheath For Miss Columbia,


All this chatter about the sheath

Of course, no matter what sensational

the idea will find expression In the

gap amply filled by drop skirt, but
to suppose any woman Of breeding In
this country would appear in a frock

Curious Old Laws.

Some of the old laws of Nepal, India,
were curious. Killing cows ranked
with murder as capital offense, for
instance. Every girl at birth was mar
ried with great ceremony to a betel
fruit, which was then cast into a sa-
cred stream. AS the fate Of the fruit
was uncertain the girl was supposed
never to become widow. To obtain
divorce from husband wife had
only to place betel nut under his pill
low and depart. In Nepal the day is
considered to begin when it is light
enough to count the tiles on the roof
or distinguish the hairs on mans
hand against the sky.

WONDERFUL MlPAGES.
False Peak Of Tenerifc and illusions
In the Csrdaneljes,

The peak of Tenerife is known among
deep sea sailors as the false peak"
Owing to some popularity of the at
mosphere it is. always seen by mirage
in exactly the opposite direction from
which it lies. and only the fact that all
captains know that the mirage appears
long before the true peak is visible
through the most powerful glass pre-
vents many ship from sailing many
miles out of her course. It is hard for
a greenhorn to believe that the mates
tic purple mountain towering astern or
on the port beam apparently only
short distance of is In reality miles
away in exactly the opposite direction
and the seemingly solid earth at which
he is gazing Is only reflection on the
clear mirror Of the air. Many weird
tales are told Of shipwrecked men who
have steered for the false peak in the
expectation Of finding land and have
perished Of hunger and thirst while
pursuing the phantom mountain.
Sometimes the passengers and crew
Of a vessel on the lookout for the false
peak see much rarer and more beau
tiful mirage, that Of ship in the sky.
1t usually appears about 10 o'clock in
the morning, about ten degrees above
the horizon and under full sail, every
delicate spar and tapering mast clearly
visible against the blue ether and even
the play Of light and shadow in the
bellying canvas plainly discernible to
the naked eye. It generally remains in
sight half an hour or more before
gracefully fading away. The oldest
mariner can never remember having
seen the mirage Of steamer In that
latitude, but always that Of full rig
ged ship, and this peculiar fact has
given birth to many romantic legends
about the ship in the sky, all connect
ing it in some way with the false peak
The vicinity Of the Dardanelles Is
the real home of mirages, and it is sell
dom that any vessel sails along the
Syrian coast without seeing one or
more. Oddly enough, the mirages Of
the Dardanelles are always the reflec-
tions of objects that can be seen with
the naked eye and are invariably dis
torted in grotesQue and fantastic carl
catures Of the things reflected. It is
certainly startling to see a steamer
bearing down with her masts where
her water line and should be and the
water line where the tops Of the masts
and funnel ought to show, while her
decks are In the right place, thus add
ing to her uncanny appearance, but
this is frequent sight near the Oar.
danelles. There is one peculiar feature
of the mirages which hover near the
false peak-the real objects Of which
they are reflections are so far away
that very often they are never sighted
until long after the reflection has van.
