THE KANGAROO.
Hs Hind Legs Are Most Formidable
Pair of Weapons.

ITS Hind Legs Are a Most Formidable
Pair Of Weapons.
The kangaroo seems poorly provid-
ed by nature with offensive weap-
Ons. His powers Of biting are not
formidable, and his fore paws are so
weak as to seem almost rudimentary
members of little use. His hind legs
are muscular and strong, but are APP
parently Of use only to assist fight
from his enemies. On these hind legs
is found, however, a most formidable
weapon in the shape of long claw as
hard as steel and sharp as chisel-as
terrible to dogs as the scythe chariots
of the ancients were to their enemies
When run down the kangaroo, plac-
ing a tree behind him to protect his
rear, will seize in his fore paws such
indiscreet dogs as rush up to him
and, holding them firmly, disembowl
them with sweep Of his sickle-like
claws
Even the hunters themselves thus
caught in the viselike grip of an "old
man" kangaroo of the larger breeds
have sometimes suffered in like man
ner and have now and then taken their
own turn at being hunted as the en-
ragged animals turned upon them and
attacked their horses with blind fe-
rocity.-St. James Gazette.

The Colossus Of Rhodes.

The gigantic Colossus of Rhodes
was one Of the seven wonders Of the
world. 1t was erected in honor of the
sun by Charles Of Indus, disciple
Of Lysippus, and was thrown down
by an earthquake about 224 B. G.
The figure stood upon two moles,
leg extended on each side Of the har-
Dor. A winding staircase led to the
top Of the figure, from out Of the eyes
of which were visible the coast Of
Syria and the ships sailing on the coast
Of Egypt. The colossi were the pc
culiar characteristic Of eastern art
and were Of common occurrence, many
Of them being over sixty feet in
height. The most celebrated Is the
statue Of Memnos, on the plain Of
Thebes, described by the historian
StrabO.

Mohammed ALI the present shah of

made by the Constitutionalists, how
ever, forced the late shah to grant
their demands.
During his fathers reign Moham-
med Ali served first as provincial gov
ernor over part of the Persian domin-
ions and subsequently as regent. His
father had practically given up ruling
the domain during his last illness, and
the affairs OF state were handled by
the son. In these posts Mohammed
Ali showed keen intelligence and abil-
ity.
Mohammed is largely Russian in
taste and appearance. He has kept
Russian counselors around him, and
he appointed Lieutenant Colonel Liah-
koff, Russian officer, to command his
troops. In doing so he evidently look
ed to the Russian government for sup
port to keep him in power. He made
treaties by which Russia and England
were pledged to act in unison in all
matters concerning Persia and as
result found both countries ready to
help him with loans.
Mohammed Ali has always feared
Turkish aggression and the movement
for constitutional government alike.
He allowed parliament to meet, but
soon got into trouble with it. Accord
ing to the Persian constitution, the
parliament had the right to choose
and dismiss all cabinet officers. Ac-
cordingly, after some trouble, the
shah's ministers, much against his
will, were dismissed for some act

The quarrel between the shah and
parliament was aggravated by a plot
in which one Of his brothers was i'm
plicated, together with several impor-
tant members of the Constitutionalist
parliament. Two bombs were thrown
at the shah while he was riding in
February, 1903, but both missed him.
He considered parliament accessory to
this attack and called upon it to give
up the guilty members. This demand
was met with open defiance, and the
ACCESSIBILITY Of the shah's deposition
was openly discussed.
The shah withdrew from his palace
and intrenched himself on the out
skirts Of Teheran, sending Colonel
Liahkof with body Of royal troops
to lombard the parliament building.
Parliament was dispersed, and the
constitution was withdrawn.

THE PILLORY.
An English Writers Reflections Upon
Public Punishment.

An English Writer'S Reflections Upon
Public Punishment.
Perhaps one Of the few really demo
cratic institutions ever created was the
pillory. do not say that it was hui
name institution, though it was GER
tainly more humane than our system
of silent imprisonment But being hui
name has nothing to do with being
democratic You may have humane
and inhumane democracies, just IS
you may have humane and inhumane
lespots.
The point is that the pillory was a
real appeal to the people. If it was
cruel it was because the people were
cruel or perhaps justly indignant. The
people threw dead cats (the less hui
manitarian, believe, threw live CATS.
but they could throw bouquets and
crowns Of laurel ii they liked. Some
times they did. The argument about
the old public punishments cuts both
ways. The publicity was an additional
risk for the government as well as an
additional risk for the prisoner, and
this is specially true of the executions
for treason. It was no small thing that
half million men might possibly treat
as martyr man whom the king was
treating as murderer, that the prince
had to concede to every obscure ruff
fan exactly what that ruf1ian probably
wanted most-fame.-G. K. Chesterton

Frankfort, where the men engaged in
banking. His great-grandmother mar
ried John James Hollweg, who added
his wife's name to his own. His
grandfather was the first member Of
the family to enter public service. He
became a professor Of Jurisprudence
at the Bonn university and received
patent Of nobility for his learning.
Later he was made member Of the
Prussian diet and became active in
the constitutional agitation Of the for

Prince Won Bulow's successor is fifty
three years old. In youth he studied
law, always the first step to a public
career, and was appointed assistant
judge. Before he was thirty years old
he was made district governor of Ober-
Barnim and later became provincial
president of Potsdam. For three years
there he saw much Of his majesty, and
the two took long walks and rides to-
gether It was the doctors custom to
ride out with his majesty in an old
tweed suit of sober cut, and he always
selected a quiet horse.

the government Of Bromberg and presi-
dent Of the province Of Brandenburg,
from which post he took up the port

imperial minister and showed in par

Since he became minister of the in
terror DR. son Bethmann-Hollweg has
distinguished himself by preparing an
imperial insurance law and law con-
trolling a right of assemblage, both of
which passed the reichstag.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg in his
political principles is mild Conserva-

application to himself of the tradition
al policy that the servants OF the
crown must be nonpartisan. While he
was district governor of Bromberg the
Conservative interests sought to use
his influence in local election, and
he explained Indignantly, 81 am an

First Trip Excited Genuine Curiosity.
Arab Chief Delighted With a Ride.
The first automobile journey in the
Sahara desert was recently made BY

Africa Mr.. Aver says:
"We kept our course south over the
desert to the oasis Of Biskra, where
we found growing 100000 date palms.
At Biskra began the $50 mile trip to-
ward the heart Of the desert. Over
the barren desert we urged our car to
Tougart.
'This journey over the sands and
rocks was a pioneering effort, so far
as a big touring car was concerned.
We were forced to carry strips of
mating, each thirty feet in length,
which could be stretched before the
machine when we came to reaches of
'"The automobile excited the most
genuine curiosity. I remember in par
ticular one Arab chief who rode for a
long time on his beautiful horse at the
side Of the car His band followed
not far in the rear Finally we sug-
gested that he dismount and ride with
us. This he did with every display OF
pleasure. We speeded the car along,
and he grinned with all the delight of

WHO IS DISPENSING
 BOGUS FEDERAL PIE?

Washington, March 16--Who is i'm personating the president of the Unit ed States to the extent of appointing men to important offices?
 Within the last few days various "authoritive" announcements have been made, which, upon investigation, have been found to be without any foundation whatever.
 The most fragrant case of the kind was that which gave the public the news" that Frank W. Bogg, of Gin cinnati, had been selected for the po- sition of assistant secretary of con- merce and labor.
 The first the president knew of the matter was when Senator Burton, of Ohio, hotfooted him way to the White House and asked in an injured tone why he had not been consulted about this piece of patronage. Senator Dick followed Burton's footsteps to the White House on the same mission. Another senator who hastened to the White House in quest of light was MT. Cullom, of Illinois. The same news manufacturer had been busy disposing of patronage considered his own private perquisite and he came to ask the president about it with tears in his eyes.
 It is said that one of the cabinet members who, before his election to the position, devoted a good deal' o1 attention to politics and patronage was the instigator of the story, but whether he circulated the fiction as "feeler" or a joke has not yet beer ascertained.

WANT FRED LIGHTS"
 DISTRICT CLEANED

Fort Smith, March 16.-Few sensa- tional occurrences of recent years have 50 stirred the people of Fo't Smith as the revelations of the a]- leged operations of Helen Monk, aid ed, it is alleged by 16-yearold boys, in furnishing schoolgirl victims for the so-called white slave" traffic.
 AS the result of prosecution inaug- urated by Superintendent of Schools Kuykendall, following an investiga- tion of the absence of certain girl pupils from school, the Monk woman was arrested with two young boys, and some grown men hastily fled town to avoid arrest.
 A cry has gone forth for a general clean ng up of the ."red light" dis tricts and a close scrutiny upon the doings of the keepers of other evil resorts, which may result in some re. { forms being accomplished.
