Washington, Special: A few months ago

Just one talent. and nobody knew he had
that.
when his estate came to be adjudxed for
the purpose Of applying the death taxes,
or inheritance taxes. AS they would be
called In this country. it fell out that the
estate was worth about 5000 900, almost
entirely in farm lands.
All Britain sat up instantly and took

Then he vanished in his trail OF light,
and Jeanne felt q new strength sudden
~ growing in her heart. She remem-
hered[an old prophecy-that France, be-
trayed BY n woman should be saved
by another. The wicked Queen Isabelle,
widow of poor crazy Charles vi, had
sold his kingdom to the English; who
then was to. wrest It from the hands Of
the enemy? And the words Of the
wizard came to her as she knelt in the
little church during the quiet vesper
hour: Prom the country Of Lorraine,
approaching through the hoary woods,
would come q young girl who would
subdue the archers of Breton and who
would perform wonders"
Were not the hoary woods.the Forest
of Oak, in fair Domremy? Was she
not young, with the spirit Of God in her
heart? Amidst Michael had said: "Go
to the governor of Vaucouleurs."
Then into the soul of the girl Of IL
leaped a mighty purpose. Night after
night, in her little room, she prayed for
strength, and day after day she. min
gled with her merry co~mrades-with
them. yet not Of them.
Her little sister, Catharine, and her
two girl friends. Mengette and Hau-
mette, wed to be ear her, but they
spoke in whispers when they saw
Jeanne's faraway look, for in their
child fashion Shey felt that Jeanne was
different from them all. And the boys,
peasant lads, hung about her
with awe, for there was a strange spirit
in this slip Of a girl they had never seen
before.

MAN AND WIFE
DROP 60 FEET
PLUNGE DOWN PREClPICE ON
MOUNT WILSON
Woman from Los Angeles Slips,

Him to Bottom Of
Canyon
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, May 31.-Descendins
the big Santa Anita trail down Mount
Wilson about O'clock this afternoon
Mrs. A. r. Wilson of Sixteenth and Los
Angeles streets, Los Angeles, slipped,
lost her footing and seized her husband
by the arm in an endeavor to save her
self. Taken completely by surprise,
Wilson had no time to brace himself.
and in an instant both Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson we're plunging sixty feet down
the side of the rocky, scraggy wall or
the canyon. They landed unconscious
amid the shrubbery at the foot of the
almost sheer precip.ce.
Tonight the couple are at the mouse
of a ranchman, the woman probably
dying and her husband seriously hurt.
The accident happened mile and Il
half from the foot of the tr@Y Wilson
and his wife were threading ~r way
down the trail by themselves. Some
distance in the rear of them were nine
Young women, one of whom was
daughter of the Wilson's. This young
woman recklessly scrambled down the
mile and a half to the foot of the tran,
endangering her life at every Wild leap
and bound But she reached the foot
of the mountain in safety and quickly
secured men and mules to go to the
rescue.
The men secured at such great risk
by the young woman were not the
first to reach the bleeding and uncon-
scious forms lying at the bottom of
the canyon. A woman hermit who has
a hut on the site of Mount wilson
saw the fall of the man and woman.
She hastily gathered few blankets,
bandages and jug of cold water and
hurried to the aid of the injured.
BY the time the rescue party led
by Miss Wilson reached her parents,
the woman hermit had revived Will
son, and together they were endeavor-
ing to bring back to consciousness Mrs.
Wilson. Wilson was aided to walk
from the canyon and the still uncon-
scious body of his wife was carried
out of the canyon on the back Of
mule.
At the foot of the trail the injured
persons were placed in a buggy and
driven to the home of John Watkins,
foreman of the Baldwin ranch. Medi-
cal assistance was secured from Sierra
Madre and from Monrovia.
The telephone to Watkins house was
out of order last night, and advices
relative to the condition of the injured
persons could not be secured. 1t was
reported by friends, however, that
while Mrs. Wilson was in a very pre-
carious condition. Wilson probably
would recover. The extent of the in
juries could not be ascertained.

PARIS, May 31.-Glorying in the fact
that she is martyr to her Royalist
convictions, Marquise De Vasselot de
Regne, who is undergoing sentence for
obstreperous behavior at a Royalist
demonstration, refuses to be treated
differently from the humber inmates
of the st. Lazare prison. Her cell ad-
joins that of Nine. Steinheil.
She has declined to appeal, although
sentenced by default. "Other women
have gone to prison for their convic-
tions," she says, "why should not I?''
Though she is at liberty to obtain
meals from without. she heroically
confines herself to prison fare. Her
small, bare. whitewashed cell is. how
ever. frightened with quantities of
flowers sent by her colleagues in the
movement.
She spends her days embroidering.

literature, and the marquis assured
callers that on paying visit he found

Professor Wilder. who is the author

brought from Ithaca several brains,
including those of an Orang outang,
an INSCRIPTIONS politician, an Hitter
ate colored janitor and an eminent
mathematician. With these exhibits as
basis the speaker made some inter-
esting deductions. He said
1.-The brain of the average American
negro seems to be two ounces lighter
than that of the average white man,
and probably there occurs more fire.
quently than in the white man a less
development of the pre-frontal lobes;
these two conditions render it likely

WILL CONTINUE WAR
AGAINST SHEEP SCAB
GoVERNM EMIT WILL TRY TO
STAMP OUT DISEASE
Forest Service Again to Cooperate
with Bureau of Animal Industry
in Protecting Herds of
Northwest

During the grazing season of 1909 the
forest service again will cooperate
with the bureau of animal industry,
and the state officials in efforts to
stamp out the disease known as scab,
which exists among the sheep in a
number of the western states and ter
ritories. This work has been carried on
by the bureau of animal industry for
several years past.
The forest service has endeaVored to
assist the bureau, as we'll as the state
authorities, in enforcing the law by
refusing to admit any sheep on a ma
tional forest, within the prescribed
states, that were not accompanied by a
certificate of inspection signed by an
inspector of the bureau of animal in
dustry. to the effect that they were free
from the diease or had been dipped in
accordance with the regulations of the
bureau.
In nearly all the western sheep rails
ing states the state boards charged
with protecting the health of the live
stock have been very active in sup
pressing this disease, and between the
bureau of animal industry, the state
authorities, and the forest service IT
has practically been wiped out of many
of the states, and greatly reduced in
the others.
During the season of 1909 the work
will be continued in the states of Col
orado, Utah. Nevada, California and the
territories of New Mexico and Arizona,
and it is hoped that at the. close of this
present year the results will be so
satisfactory that considerable parts of
this area may also be pronounced free
from the disease and relieved from
quarantine restrictions.
Wherever it has been found neces-
sary to burn the corrals, counting
chutes and other improvements on a
range which were possibly infested
with this disease, the material for new
ones has been furnished to the stock
men free Of charge by the forest serv-
ice.
