DEN MARK.

Business was exceedingly brisk in
the capital city prior to the holidays.
Comparative reports show that the
business this year was, as far as
Copenhagen was concerned, way ahead
of last year and business men gener-
ally were naturally very much pleased.
The holiday business also furnished
employment for number of poor peo-
pie, who have during the past months
been fed by the charity organizations.
Now that the holiday season is over
there is very little for the large army
of unemployed to do and the city coun-
Gil has been holding extra sessions in
order to hit upon some plan to allevi-
ate the situation among the poor.
In an excavation under an old mer-
chants estate in Aarhus very large
collection of old coins has been found.
There are about $500 coins in all and
they seemingly date back from the
fourteenth century. The coins, which
at that time represented large for
elne, were made in the Hanseatic
Cities mostly in Lubbock. This is the
largest collection of old coins ever
found in Denmark and they have been
placed in the National Museum at
Copenhagen, where they are at present
on exhibition.
During the past two weeks there
have been arrested number OF the
Russian anarchists who were recently
terrorizing the country districts in
Denmark. 1t is learned that nearly
every one of them we're escaped con-
victs from Siberia. They will be tried
by jury within the ~ext fortnight.
Copenhagen dispatches state that
the Danish government is going to cut
down the foreign budget by putting
one man in charge of the embassies
of Vienna and Rome. Chamberlain
Barronhaeft has been appointed to fill
this dual position.

Living Persons Taken From the
WreCkage at Messina.

Messina, Jan. 11.-Search for the
buried victims of Italy's last great
earthquake still continues and is fre-
quently rewarded with the rescue of
the living. A man named Benasja,
who had spent fourteen days without
food locked in the ruins of his home,
was taken out unconscious and re-
suscitated. He had been caught in a
kind of straight jacket formed by the
debris and, unable to move, was COM
PEELED to watch the lingering death of
his wife and four children. A married
couple were removed not only alive
but conscious Their Imprisonment
had lasted thirteen days.
A terrific tempest, accompanied by
earthquake shocks, has caused num-
Der of fresh collapses in the ruined
city and spread new terror among the
survivors Most of the people in Mes
sina were camped under tents or huts
and nearly all of these were destroyed
by the wind and binding rains. Over
sixty feet of the landing quays in the
harbor were swept away, carrying off
a large quantity of provisions stored
there. Near Giarre an immense fis-

NEW VARIETY OF POOL GAME.
St. Louis Man lnvents One Called
Stripes and Spots.


Harry 7. Mathews of st. Louis has
originated a new game Of pool, and it
bids fair to become popular. Here's
the idea: i
When the balls are ''racked" the
''spot' balls are placed in the rear and
inside the triangle and the seven
stripes" on the outside. The ] ball
is placed in the middle.
A chooses the stripes" and the
"spots." A plays only to pocket the
stripes. B goes after only the
spots The ball is the odd one.
liter or B has counted his seven he
goes after the ball. The one pocket
ing it wins the game.
If a player pockets the ! ball before
he has run out his seven he forfeits
the game. The game is a cross be
tween continuous pool and French
pool 1t can be played with one. two
or more players on a side.

DR.. Landone states that his own

of the child and it's own environment
and training offer no interference.

unruly children and placed them in an
atmosphere of refinement, surrounded
by cultured children, and kept them in
constant contact with these conditions
In some cases the evolution took
long time, but in the end it was in

KETCHEL WANTS FIGHT
WITH JACK JOHNSON

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. g.
Stanley Ketchel, world IS middleweight
champion, today renewed his statement
that he was ready to fight Johnson,
and he has wired Cofforth to make all
necessary arrangements for the battle.
Willis Britt, who is here with Ketehel
and is urging Stanley on, received a
cablegram today from johnson accept
ing fight with Ketehel and informing
Britt he would get in communication
with Coffroth.
So anxious is Ketchel to meet John
son and so confident is he that he can
trim him, that he says johnson can
split the money any way he sees fit.
81 am not trying to lessen the abil-
ity of the heavyweights that are now
occupying the limelight,'' said Ketchel
today, 'sbut [ am the only logical oppo-
nent for Johnson. He will outweigh
me bit, but that is not such a great
advantage. / know I can beat him,
and if he will come back to this eoun-
try and the offer Cofforth makes is In.
duciye enough, the match is on
