When She Feels Superior.

"The only time / feel superior to
the men," said an Atchison woman
recently, as she watched the Taft
crowd, is on occasions of this kind.
The politicians set the men crazy and
they run around with badges on, look
ing wild eyed. If one of them is told
to go and get a chair and put it on
the speakers platform, he goes
around with an air as though he had
been appointed minister to the court
of st. James. They stand around
awestruck, looking at some candidate
for a state Office, and if a congress,
man takes one by the arm and calls
him by name he positively wriggles
with delight.

The FutiIity of Motor Racing.

There has never been any adequate
justification of motor racing on the
highway, except the practical lessons
of construction, that could be deduced
during the earlier stages of the indus
try. Now that this justification has
been very largely removed, the sole
remaining incentive of motor road
racing is shown to be that passion for
excessive speed which is the cause OF
the worst motoring offenses and Is
aggravated by the madness of COM
petition.

How Sea Lions CAPTURE euIIs.

The sea lion displays no little skill
end cunning in capturing gulls. When
in pursuit the sea lion dives deeply
under water and swims some distance
from where it disappeared; then, ris-
ing cautiously, it exposes the tip of
It's nose along the surface, at the
same time giving it rotary motion.
The unwary bird nearby alights to
catch the object, while the sea lion
at the same moment settles beneath
the waves and at one bound, with ex-
tended jaws, siezes its screaming prey
and instantly devours it.

PROTECTING JUMP
IN ROCK ISLAND
Stock Advances Thirty Points
in Five Minutes.

New York, Dec. 2S.-A startling
market movement that had all the
earmarks of a corner" came when
the common stock of the Rock Island
company, within five minutes of the
opening, rose from SOS to 81, when it
settled back again, after heavy trad
ing, to SO.
ALI this startling pyrotechnic ad-
vance of thirty-one points and equally
surprising precipitation to the open
ing sale price caused SILVER of fear
on the stock exchange, which spread
itself across the continent of the
brokers' wires, that corner" had
been effected in the stock of the Rock
Island company. A block of 1900
shares was sold at 81, the top price.
Rock Island common closed at 1917
last Friday.
Fears of a corner caused heavy sell.
ing throughout the securities list and
there were numerous declines of one
to three points.

been selling something he did moi
own" said a director of the Rock Is!

ROBBERS AS BANK EXAMINERS
Get Line on Vaults Preparatory to
Forcing Them.

Washington, Dec. 2 Fake bank
examiners are operating in different
parts of the United States to an ex-
tent which has brought them to the
official notice Of the comptroller of
the currency. It is held by Comp
troller Lawrence o. Murray that the
men attempt to play the part of an
examiner for the purpose of obtain
ing information as to the location and
strength of bank vaults preparatory
to forcing them.
Each authorized examiner is pro-
vided with a commission signed by
the secretary of the treasury and the
comptroller. In addition he carries
an Identification card bearing his sig
nature, which the banks may require
him to duplicate before giving him
access to the books.

GuIis and CLANS,

The discussion continues between
those who think that all the acts of
the lower animals are satisfactorily
explained by the hypothesis of inner
tied instinct and those who hold that
there is an element of intelligence, If
not of reasoning, In these things W.
L. Finley, in work on American
birds, mentions an observation of his
which may perhaps be explained either
way, but which in any case is interest
ing. A gull seized upon clam and,
rising to a height of about fifteen feet,
allowed it to fall upon hard ground
The clam kept its mouth shut. Again
the gull rose with it to the same height
and dropped it once more, with the
same result This operation was re-
peated fifteen times, when at last the
shock had the desired effect, the shell
was opened, and the gull enjoyed its
dainty contents.
