Forever Dry.

There is a youngster in college who
combines the poetic instinct with a
keen sense of humor. He Is not close
student. In fact. he regards books as
instruments of torture. One of the pro-
fessors picked up text book belonging
to him the other day and found on the
flyleaf this bit of verse. which no douD'
expressed the students opinion OF II:
Should there be another flood
For refuge bither fly.
And should the whole world be SUD-
merged
This book would still be dry.

Pigs WITH BRAINS
WALL'W 10 MORE.

They are making pigs grow
brains at the Ohio Agricultural Sta
ton at Wooster by feeding them
brain food. DR.. E. B. Forbes, who
is in charge of the experiments, is
having great success. They have
put ordinary porkels on diets de-
vised by DR., Forbes, and in 60
days the pigs have developed
brains which have crowded their
skulls capacity.
The pigs showed more intelli-
gence as their brains grew bigger.
They didn't wallow in the mud, but
gamboied like lambs. They didn't
grunt and climb with their front
feet into the feeding trough.

THE DEER'S HORNS.
They Present All the Phenomena Of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.

They ffcSont ~" w. "
Animal and Vegetable Growth.
WHY and how is the dSr so peculiar.
" unlike any other Of the bovine race,
the horn differing so materially from
all the horned cattle in its composition,
growth, maturity and decline? 1t pre-
sents all the phenomena OF animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation of the
frontal bone. 1t rises and breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as vege-
table. 1t is nourished by and secretes
albumen upon the surface and disposes
of the fibrin the same as an animal.
1t is clothed with Il skin and hairy
coat very different from those on the
rest of the body. This covering and
hair possess property unknown in
other animal bodies-that Of being a
styptic to stanch its own blood when
wounded. 1t carries marks Of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year, which shows an ad-
ditional power each year to produce
them. And this power does not exist
I'm the female. So this difference is
more distinctly marked than in any
other class of animals. Again, the horn
possesses properties unknown in any
other animal matter. 1t is entirely in
odorous, capable Of resisting putrefac-
ton and almost impervious to the eff
fects Of the atmosphere.
And still water at 800 degrees F.
will dissolve these horns readily. even
though they are not soluble In alcohol
and resist the action OF acids and aka
lis. 1t is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know Of that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male and the female are sus-
tanned by the same nutrition and ele'
ments, and only the male produces
horns. This phenomenon is quite as
much of a curiosity as the absence OF
the horn in the buck after shedding
Exchange.

THE MYSTERY OF WHO
NIT BILLY PATTERSON

: Higginsville, Mo- WHO struck
Billy Patterson" is a question that
has gone into history.
1t is asked frequently by persons
who have no idea who BILLY" Pat
terson was for it has become q
stock expression, sigaifying a mys-
terry,
But now comes 7. NJ. Lake, for
merly of Fauquier county, Va, and
now a retired merchant of this city,
who says he knows all about the
striking of Patterson.
Mr.. Lake was a young friend OF
the man who struck the blow, and
"Billy" Patterson, according to
Mr.. Lake, was the bully OF Rich
mond, Va, almost seventy-hve
years ago. He was a big man,
who loved fighting almost as well
as he loved whiskey, and preferred
the two together.
The day Patterson was struck
the blow which thrust his name IN
to Immortality he had obtained
liquor, but was fl .ng it difficult
to get fight. He had taken up a
position in the center Of . "H"ch-
travelled sidewalk and was ...aklns
all passers take to the street. He
was particularly insulting T. a
crowd of medical students Who
passed on their way to 4 nearby
students hotel.
Among those students SIS Albln
Payne, young man from Fau-
quier county, a relative Of Admiral
Raphael Semmes, and Il man OF
fighting blood. When the group OF
students submitted TO the indlgnl-
ties offered by Patterson, Payne S
fighting blood was aroused.
"Let me at the bovine, he said
as he walked up to Patterson. Per-
haps Patterson was too much sur
prised to defend himself, for only
one blow was struck, and BILLY
Patterson went down with a thud
lit was believed at first that Patter-
son was ii, and the students
fed to their hotel, where a hasty
conference was held, and they
vowed not to tell who struck the
blow.
Hardly had Payne been taken
out sideway to another student
lodging house when the police ar.
rived, demanding, "Who struck
BILLY Patterson?'' All the stu
dents were questioned, but each
denied that he had struck Patter
son. Though it soon became APP
parent that Patterson was not dan
gerously injured, the students KEEP
their vow, Payne preferring t.
avoid notoriety. Payne afterwaro
became widely known as a physl
ciau in Virginia, and attained SOM
note as a magazine writer, unde
the non &c plume of "Nichola
!; Spicer."

An amazing story of young mans career as a criminal was unfolded at County of London sessions before Mir. Wallace, K. C.. when clean shaven dark haired young man named WILL jam Parker. aged 2s, pleaded guilty to having been found by night at Dartmouth park hill in the unlawful possession of housebreaking imple. ments.
 Detective Inspector Nell testified that the prisoner had received every assistance from charitably disposed
 people. He first came under police notice in December. 1904, when he l was sentenced to l5 months hard Ia bor for housebreaking.
 At that time Parker had been hv' | ing in a little workshop, which was
 also a sort of bungalow, and had
 secret door through which he could pass unseen by night. could get to the
 backs of houses and commit robberies
 with impunity and return with his
 booty without being observed.
 He was regarded as a highly re
 spectable young man: his parents
 were of the highest character. and
 they had brought him up well. Il Inspector Neil added that the pris oner had been assisted by a gentle man named Lewis, whose kindness it would seem, had been entirely mis placed.

RAWHID CAMP
 RECALlS OLD DAYS

pHoENIX, June S0.--News of the ,,,,nersi discoveries at Rawhide, New, inclines old Arizonans toward mem ories of a camp of the same name that fiourished in northern Yuma county nearly thirty years ago. Raw hide iay between the Harcuyar noun tains and the Colorado river, in region where water was and is hard ,o get. Yet the camp had a popula- lion of several thousand and hundreds of mining claims were staked out around the only producing property.
 This, the Rawhide mine, was oper- ated in 1879 by Bill" Hearst, his To- cal manager being Dan Gillette. | There could be no doubt about the richness of the ore. Ii was "petah-
 que" a native silver, combined with | copper. that ran as high as $s a hound. Much of this ore was ship | ned and much was reduced In small furnace. set up at the nearest water on the banks of the Big Sandy, seven miles distant. Coke was hauled rom Maricopa station on the Southern Pa
 cific. about 25o miles distant. The
 ore was found in lime, in irregularis
 placed kidneys. stoped out by the Mexican coyote" method, aimos'
 without timber or system, most or the ore being brought out on the backs of Mexican, laborers-
 The bot tN dropped out of Raw

It was not long before the OWL and coyotes were the sole residents , Even the locations were permitted t' lapse. though the Rawhide was late r taken again by "One-Eyed Riley" lat CT killed at Needles.
