THE BOY POLICE.

In the city of Council Bluffs. Iowa. there is a unique organization known as the Boy Police composed. as it's name indicates. entirely of boys. whose duty it is to preserve order among the lads of that city and to see that the rising generation" does not become too boisterous in its fun. The young law officers act under the eyes and orders of the regular police department of the c.ty. and have au- thority to make arrests when neces- sary to preserve order.
 The size of the force fluctuates. at times decreasing until not a single member is on the roll, and at other times increasing until it reaches d strength of two hundred and fifty This is the maximum numeb allowe'i to serve in the Boy Police" force. The boys receive no pay for their work. but are reconTensed solely Oy fle prestige which uccrues to then: as guardians of the peace.
 So greatly is the honor esteemed at holiday times. when the mind ''f Young America naturally turns to mischief, that anything from Ii"e hundred 10 UoNo siege the police headquarters. seeking appointment as policemen. It IS the greatest honor that can come to a Council Bluffs bOy-to be made policeman. Every grade of society is found among the applicants. from the street Arab to the son of banker and railroad magnate. for practically every lad in Council Bluffs is standing candidate for the job or boy policeman.
 The Kid Police" as the force is popularly known. originated in the mind of Chief of Police Richmond, Of CounaI Bluffs. and was more the re- suit of an accident than of mature thought. It was an inspiration. how ever. that has worked wonders among the boys of Council Bluffs. and has been so successful in its object that if is being seriously considered by number of other American cities Tmosas P. Reynolds in the November Wide World magazine.

THE REAL DISCOVERY OF THE

Some time a jury of competent judges was sent over the route of the Dr. Cook and Com. Peary expedi- tions. to settle the National Dispute as to who was tse real discoverer. And they on their return relate some new facts concerning their journey.
 Just after leaving the water we started out over the snow and ice with our dogs and sledges, and it was getting along about midday and all were getting the first taste of Arctic hunger. when we came upon a neat little ice house nearly buried in the snow. On entering. imagine our sur prise to find the large room fitted up with a large Oak Mission Dining Table and chairs in the center. and dandy Bridge Beach cook stove. We'll. We sat down and partook of re- freshing repast and started on our way once more.
 We had nearly finished our jour ney when one of our guides in trying to leap from one huge. glacier to an other slipped and fell thousands of feet below, to his death as we sup posed. We started down the steep ascent to rescue him if possible. and on the way we passed several sta tions with Beds. Springs. Mattresses. Rockers and some fine rugs. and on reaching the bottom found our friend as he had fallen. asleep on fine Cotton Mattress and a Massie' Special Springs. which was all that saved his life.
 We made one more final dash for the pole. and imagine our consterna- ton on reaching it to find that not the person we suspected had discov- cred the pole. But tackled to the pole was banner bearing these letters in box car type

\ TREE THAT WEIGHS THIR-
 TEEN HUNDRED TONS.

An enormous tree is loacted at Fl Tule. village a few miles east of Oaxaca. Mexico. The tree. says the November Wide World magazine. which is a cypress. is believed to be the largest in circumference of any in the world. It measures one hum drcd and four feet round the trunk at a height of one hundred and thirty feet. and twenty-seven people holding hands can just reach round it The tree has stood for mane centuries. and part of its trunk has commenced to decay from sheer old age. One person of a rather statistical turn of mind has estimated that the tree and it's branches must weigh something like thirteen hundred tons.

 Without thinking of the consequences
 put my hand behind his neck and then. placing my foot against the seat. heaved him off and sat down. He whipped out a nasty-looking knife. but before he could use it the other occupants of the carriage seized him. and he was pacified by decent look ing old Turk giving up his seat. Later

TRUSTEES TO MEET
And Become Acquainted With

Accounting Plan.
IS SIMPLE BUT THOROUGH

A special meeting of the trustees of
the county will probably be held mex.
week in order that they may become
acquainted with the books required by
the new accounting law, which be-
comes effective, so far as the trustees
are concerned, January /.
The new system will cause radical
changes in the methods of some Of the
trustees, who have been following the
methods of their predecessors. How
ever, it is very simple, complete, thor
ough and systematized. The trustees
will have three books. one for listing
appropriations, another to note depos.
it's and a third to record expenditures.
II the trustees are careful to keep their
records as the transactions are made
their need be no fear on their part that
any discrepancies will be found.
The trustees, while not having re-
ceived the books for the new account
ing system, are familiar with them az
sample sheets have been in their hands
for several days. The special meet
ing will be more of a help one anoth.

INACCURATE MADRlZ.

Managua, Mic, Dec. 21.-With the
streets thronged by inauguration
crowds today. disorder was rife in
many quarters Of the city. A strong
force of military was detailed to pre-
vent an outbreak on the day when DR..
Jose Madriz, elected by congress as
the successor to ex-President Zelaya.
The day was a holiday and the gov
ernment did all in its power to make a
semblance of fiesta. in spite of the
activities of the opposition. Clashes
occurred in many instances and at
times, before the hour set for the in.
auguration, it seemed as il the situa'
ton would get away from the author
tiles. The plans called for the admin.
istering of the. oath of office at 10
O'Clock this morning, before the mem.
bers OF congress and the assembled of.
ficials, civil and military.
The appearance OF DR.. Madriz on
the balcony of his hotel before start.
ing for the congressional chambers
produced wild excitement. He was
cheered madly and there was a liberal
sprinkling of jeers. although the gen
eral tone seemed to be more favorable
than it had been in the past.

AGED BLACKSMITH
STRICKEN TODAY
As Eli Evans AIighted From
Buggy, He Had Stroke
Of Paralysis.
FELL TO THE SIDEWALK
STROKE Is NOT BELIEVED TO BE
PARTICULARLY SERIOUS ONE,
ALTHOUGH HE HAS BEEN BAD
LY AFFECTED.

While endeavoring to alight from a
buggy on North Ninth street. near
Main, this morning. about o'clock,
Eli Evans, the veteran blacksmith,
was seized with stroke of paralysis
and rendered absolutely helpless, fall
ing In heap on the ground The man
was carried into a nearby office,
where a physician was called. Evans's
entire left side was paralyzed. He
was unable to move muscle on that
side of his body while awaiting the
arrival of the ambulance. Hyperder-
mic injections of strychnine were ad-
ministered to the man. although he
suffered no pain, simply a numbed
sensation. The victims voice was
not affected and the stroke is not be-
lieved to be a particularly serious one.
However, in view of his age. IS years,
it may prove to be more serious than
is now anticipated, it is said. Evans
was removed to the home of Thomas
Lawler, with whom he resides. This is
his second stroke of paralysis, having
been similarly stricken about twenty
years ago, while shoeing horse. The
attack at that time rendered him
speechless for several weeks.
