One of the most interesting relics

memento of an American incident.
Hanging in a glass case on the wall
OF one of the corridors is a massive
iron key which was used to unlock
the Bastile before it fell at the hands
OF the Paris mob in the first revolu-
ton. This extraordinary souvenir
was presented to Washington by La

Rabbit Lures Dous.

A wise old jackrabbit that lives in
field close by the Colorado and Wyom-
ing stone quarry, near Trinidad, has
lured half a dozen dogs to death in the
last two weeks.
Persons who have seen several of
the dogs leap to their death say that
just as sure as a dog goes to shifting
around in that field the old jackrabbit
gets within sight of him and invites a
chase. 1t races away with the dog in
pursuit, the rabbit always leading the
chase straight to the stone quarry, one
side of which drops straight down a
precipice 100 feet to the bottom AS
the old rabbit nears the quarry he
quickens his speed, making leaps to
within a few feet of the edge.
When he is SO close that the next
leap would carry him over the edge Of
the precipice he quickly springs aside.
There is nothing on the surface to in
dictate to the dog the yawning gulf
ahead. Grass and cactus grow right
up to the edge. When the rabbit
jumps aside. the dog, unable to check
his speed, bounds over the precipice
and goes tumbling downward end over
end, alighting upon the sharp edged
rocks at the bottom
Upon the rocky floor the skeletons
of six dogs were found Saturday by the
old quarry keeper, who was roaming
over the quarry. This discovery clear
ed up the dog mystery that has per-
picked citizens of Jansen for some
weeks. -Trinidad correspondence Den.

The pearl industry is carried on in
such a way that it is not possible to

Of pearls and slugs produced in 1906

CHILD LABOR LAWS
North Carolina Supreme Court
Hands Down important
Decision.
STATE CONTROLS CHILDREN

Charlotte. n. c.. June 6.-The Su-
preme Court of North Carolina has
handed down a very important decis-
ion regarding the recently enacted
child labor law in this state. The
court holds that the State has a right
TO legislate for the protection of
children in way paramount to the
particular rights Of the parents, SO
that the law regulating child labor in
mills and factories is properly within
the police powers of the State and
constitutional; and also as the en-
plOyment of a child under age is an
indictable offense, the act of anyone
employing him in violation Of such
law gives ground for a claim for neg
ligence for injury received by any
child SO employed, whether the in
jury be during the performance Of
the specific duties for which he has
been employed or not.

(By Tort.)

Capt. Wills's rejuvenated Muncie
outfit, was given a severe Jolting yes
terday afternoon at Athletic park, the
locals taking them by score of II to
s. The game was an even up affair
until the eleventh, when Wills yanked
Hiatt, who was just getting his stride,
and put II. Hay on the firing line. The
reception given the underhand artist
was feverish in it's intensity and Har-
ry lasted Just one round, during which
he issued two bases on balls and was
touched up for a double, and two sin
giles, three runs squirting in. Gillis
finished the game and was combed for
four safeties, netting three more runs.
Aresm1th started in to work for the
locals, but he was wild ard was hit
freely. After Muncie secured its third
run in the third with two down, Jessup
sounded retreat for Aresmth and trot-
ted Brown out In the six and a third
inning Brownie worked, he allowed
only three hits and struckout eight
men.
Four home runs were made in the
course of the game. All but one of
them were rank flukes and made pos
sible by the rough condition of the
outfield, which is badly in need of
rolling. Twice Hall rushed into field
hits which looked good for about a
base. only to have them hit a rut,
bounce over his head and roll a mile
Hurst had this experience on the home
run made by Bowling. The cleanest
hit of the Gay was three Dagger made
by Jessup.
In the first two hits combined with
two bases on balls allowed Muncie two
runs. Richmond followed with three
runs made by Parker's single and
home runs by Bauman and Hurst In
the second Richmond added two more
counts on Jessup's triple and Parker's
single. When Parker stole second
Clarke made a beautiful throw to catch
him, but II. Bambaugn was not there
and the ball went to the outfield, per
mitting Parker to count. II. Bam-
baugh draws an error for this little
rip Van Wrinkle stunt.
Richmond did not count again until
the debute of Hay IN the seventh.
Muncie counted one in the third and
one in the fourth. IN the first of the
seventh Muncie tied the score, : to ).
on Dowling's home run.
The distinct features of the game
was the pitching and hitting of Brown,
who made four hits out of four times
up, and the third base play of Beck
and Johnny Bambaugh. Clarke was
loaned to Muncie in the absence of
Wolfe and he caught a nice game.
