Although Washington is one OF the
few cities known in the theatrical world

police for their approval, an exception

the funny little god OF good luck being
used as a trademark on the posters Of
The Blue Mouse which appears at
the BeiascO next week.
When The Blue Mouse" arrived in
toronto the police department
promptly declared the picture of Bill
llken an Indecent, naked, and de
formed child The result was that
blocks OF paper were pasted over. the
little god, thus somewhat reducing
the effect OF the expensive and bril-
liantly colOred Autographs
Apparently the police in Washing

ratio Stock Market Steel Shares Showing WeaknessLeadno
HILL STOCKS SHOW GOOD GAINS
IN A MARKET THAT is IR-

NEW YORK, March 0-But for the
exception of a display of weakness in

majority just about where they closed
last night The feature of the market
Ia the rails was strength shown in the
Hill stock For weeks they have been
almost dormant, moving slowly, but

Pacific rose Il point yesterday, or
rather they both held II point OF the

close. when the weakness in the Steels
led to some liquidation here and there
throughout the list. Great Northern
started at 1903. rose to 142, and closed
~ 1873. The earnings OF the Hill prop
critics are said to De excellent. and the
demand seems to come more from
actual investors accommodating the stock
than from spectators. Naturally the

GOATS AS TRAIL MAKERS.

The brush eating instinct of the
Angora goat is being successfully
demonstrated on the Lassen Nation
al Forest in California where they
ale cutting trails for fire guards
through the brushy areas on thd
slopes OF the mountains.
The animals, which number 1000,
have been divided into two bands
and under the care of the herders
are grazed within certain We'll de
fined areas so that their work may
be concentrated on the brush within
those limits The result is that they
have practically killed nearly all the
brush in the course either by eating
it up entirely, or by barking as in
the case of the heavy manzanita
bushes. At the beginning OF the eN-
pertinent there was some doubt as
to the goats Willingness 10 eat the
lnan2anita, but il has been found
that where there is little else they
Will just as readily attack as any
other bushes,
The grazing season was 50 late
this year on the Lnssen Forest that
the goats did not begin operations
until about the middle of June but
since then they have made rapid
Llogress and the result promises TO
he q success from every point of
view. The trails will first be Opeued
and then kept free of sprouts by the
goats, saving the Government con-
siderable labor in cutting them out
by hand as has been done heretofore,
While the brushy forage which other
wise would have been wasted will
support 1000 goats very comfort
ably.

POULTRY PROFITS.

- @~NA a N%OA ~
1t is the easiest matter in the
world for fellow with mind for
figures and stub of a pencil TO fig
Ore out how he is going TO make a
fortune with sawmill or a poultry
yard, but how many nsillionaires can
you count who got their start that
way. Poultry is all right and a
money-maker at present prices as a
side-line where you have the range
IT, furnish food and don't have to
buy feed for them except possibly
Ia the winter. For those thus sit
uated poultry is all right, but if you
go to counting up rent on high-priced
land for Your range your profits will
rot seem so large. This season eggs
have ruled unusually high all sea-
son, seldom below 20c on the CinCin-
natl market But if you had to buy
feed with corn at dollar and other
things in proportion you can readily
see that eggs would have TO rule
high to allow the old hen to pay
for her rations. So, if you think
there ought to be fortune in the
poultry business, Just look around
aud find the people who have gotten
rich at the business. When you find

grasshoppers on your mace, It is a
good thing.
