THE "WOOLLY" WEST NO MORE

THE "WOOLLY" WEST NO MORE.
The wild and woolly" west has
been obliterated by the touch Of civil
ization--how completely, is shown by
Prison Chaplain August brahms, in
The Popular Science Monthly for Oc-
tober, from records of the recent
criminal census of the United States.
The report of the previous decade
showed the Western States leading
all other divisions in the crimes Of
grand larceny, assault, burglary,
robbery, forgery, rape, homicide and
in the minor offenses of drunkenness.
This census shows not only great
reduction of crime In the United
States as a whole, but brings the
western division down from that bad
eminenee which is has additionally
occupied. Ten years ago the west
was convicted of 81 per cent Of grand
larcenies; it is now responsible for
only 1879 per cent, while the south
central division leads with. 27.1 per
cent. Assaults are most prevalent in
the South Atlantic, and burglaries in
the South Central states. Robberies,
which in the previous census reached
u climax OF 1876 per cent in the west,
are now least rife here-only IL
per cent, as compared with 1s per
cent for the south central division.
And SO on sl.2 5$ $$sS .. : =. :
The west is rising In the scale OF
good citizenship, and very rapidly.
Its percentages Of crime to population
are less than they were in the North
Atlantic and North Central divisions
ten years ago; they are hardly larger
now than In these long-settled dis
5tricts. The negroes in the south and
the foreign-born IN the north present

HIS DEATH STRUGGLES CAST IN
 PLASTER.

Neither shall I dwell on the gov ernor's palace which we visited, though it is set ;n a fair garden, nor on the museum, with the exception of just, one thing. That one item is, believe. unique in the worlds list of curiosities. It is a plaster cast of the martyr Geronimo in the agony of death. The Algerians put Geronimo alive into a soft mass of concrete, which presently hardened into a block and twas built into fort. This was in 1869. and about forty years later a Spanish writer described the event and told exactly how that particular block could be located
 The fort stood for nearly 300 years Then. in 1853. it was torn down, the block was identified and broken open, and an almost perfect mold of the dead martyr was found within. They filled the mold with plaster, and the result-a wonderful cast-lies there in the museum today. face down, as he died, hands and feet bound and strain- ing. head twisted to one side in the supreme torture of that terrible mar V IL ic d SItNStilt- thing. and you go back to look at it more than once. and you slip out be- tween times for a breath of fresh air.

He could not have lived long, but every second of consciousness must have been an eternity of horror, for there is no such thinS as time except as to mode of measurement. and meas, urement such as that would compass ages unthinkable.

 As a matter of fact the bevy takes wing in a long. scattering line cover ing many feet and with much room between Birds. Mark carefully where birds fall and the flight of the bevy The most accurate observation in this respect is profitable and it is aston ishing how often one can take the general line of flushed bevy and fail to raise another bird.
 Use discretion and much silence in handling your dogs. bird wise dog is generally most effective when left to himself, and little should be done to direct him beyond shaping a gen eral course of wind if possible. Loud talking or shouting sometimes causes birds to flush wildly, especially late in the season, to say nothing of it's being barbarous in itself and annoy ing to your companion.

 Season after season the light weight. small guage gun grows in popularity among quail shooters. With good holding the 2S-guage gun is deadly on quail. and there is less likelihood Of wounded and crippled birds due to the smaller and less promiscuous killing circle. Although this guage is perhaps too small for the average shot to use effectively. the same cannot be said of the Is. and even the 20 is effective in the hands of a moderately good shot. One does not wish to kill eternally, and the quality of the performance is a good part of the sport.-Todd Russell. in the November Outing Magazine.

ODDITIES OF THE GRIDIRoN

In the fall of 1899. Young, the Cor nell quarterback. received a bad bump on the head during the first half of one of the carly games and was SO dazed that he gave the signal for the same play-a tackle buck-eight times in succession. The rival eleven. un- able to comprehend such generalship. or rather lack of it. became just as be- wildered as the injured quarterback and. in the effort to understand the unintelligible, let the Cornell backs through for a quick touchdown.
 The calling out of numbers while the opposing quarterback is trying to give his team the signal for the next play has resulted in numerous tangles. In one of the recent army and navy contests. the quarterback of the latter eleven became so confused in one in- stance when the army players were shouting out various numbers while he was trying to direct the next play that he actually gave his men one of the series of numbers the army men were suggesting. The incomprehensi- ble signal and the subsequent mixup may be better imagined than ex- plained.

NO EARTHLY ADVOCATE
 FOR |sADORO PIMA
That Degenerate Bound Over to the
 Grand Jury.

lsadoro Pima. for the running of his 1S-year-old stepdapghter. Julia Ruiz was given a preliminary examination before Justice Johnstone yesterday and was held to the grand jury in the sum of s2,00O. The grand jury will know where Pima is when his presence is demanded by that in quisitorial body.
 He appeared in court yesterday with the same air of a persecuted indi- vidual that he assumed at the mo- ment of his arrest and which he has worn ever since. He also aired his peculiar views about law. He de- manded a suspension of the pro- ceedings on the ground that they had been irregular from the beginning. He said that he could not have been properly served with a warrant of arrest without the presence of the witnesses for the territory. The con- stable ought to have brought them along with him in order that he might be sure that there wGs no mistaken identity.
 Pima had previously stated that he had a lawyer. and that he desired to consult with him before the be- ginning of the hearing. The attor- ney was sent for. and when he came and found why he was wanted. he washed his hands of the whole mat ter
 Pima then stated to the court that he wanted no advocate: God was his lawyer. Among the witnesses put on the stand was Sheriff Hayden. to whom Pima had made a rather boast full admission of his~ guilt. At the conclusion of the sheriff's statement. Pima was asked if he desired to ques- ton the witness. No" replied Pima; hes no judge" Enough other testi- mony was put in to hang the defend- ant in some states. but considerable more was withheld as unnecessary at that time.

WHEN WOMEN SMOKED PIPES

Many pioneer wives and widows got the habit of smoking tobacco from dreary loneliness and nervousness from fear of Indians in their cabin homes. while the men folk were away hunting or at work in distant clear ings- roothache was another cause of getting the tobacco habit Their only dentistry was to snatch a tooth out with a string. kill the nerve with red-hot knitting needle or take a chew or smoke of tobacco. and so got the tobacco habit if toothache lasted several days. It was a common sight in the old days to see a grand old lady riding horseback. with a little negro on the same horse behind her.
 her body servant, with nothing to do except eat, sleep. sit around the fire. keep the hearth clean with a turkey wing and light the old lady's pipe with a red-hot ember held to the pipe with a small pair of ember fire tongs. Sometimes elegance was added to this function by having a little darEy dressed up in red velvet brooches and zouave jacket. like a little Turk or Nubian Arab. Corncob was the favor ite and only pipe.-New York Press.

THINNER STARTS FIRST
 AND SHETTlER LAST
DRAWING FOR PLACES IN THE
 DESERT RACE.
The Finish Line Will Be in Front of
 the Grand Stand at the Fair.

Places have been assigned each en- trant in the Los Angeles Phoenix race. The drawing resulted in giving F. c. Fenner first place and Leon T. Shet- tier last Thus the two men who are generally supposed to be the heartiest rivals in the great desert race will be separated by two hours and a quarter. Even at that. with all the vicissitudes of desert travel there is a possibility of their getting a glimpse of each other on the way.
 Fenner. in either the Isotta or Black Bess" of last year. will start from the Hollenbeck at 10 D. m. Saturday, Nov. C. Then, every fifteen minutes. an- other car will be sent on its way by James s. Mitchell. the starter. At 12:15 a. m. Shettler. in the Apperson, Reo or Kisselkar will start. The places drawn by the others is as fol- lows: ?. Fillmore: 3, Pennsylvania; 4, Doris: .. Franklin; 6, Studebaker; :. Ford: s. Columbia: 9. Buick.
 The start from Los Angeles is ear Her this year than last. so that with good running some of the cars at least may get to the river by night fal It will also give an enormous crowd. of people a chance to see the racers start on their way. The route leads first to San Bernardino, and any road may be taken to this place.
 The route will then be through San Bernardino, Beaumont Banning, Whitewater. Palm Springs. Indio, Mecca. Dos Palmos. Chuckawalla, Bly, the ranch. Nuremberg. Quartzsite. Vicksburg. SaIome. Winters Wells. Buckeye, Phoenix.
 At Ehrenberg will be the only con trol of the race. The cars will be started on their way from that town in the same order that they start from Los Angeles. The first will go at g. m. and one every fifteen minutes 1T r7reafter. This will bring the first car to the finish line in front of the grand stand at the fair grounds early in the afternoon. and each of the sTeedy cars will be seen on the track. This will. oc course. be Monday. Whatever fair events are in progress wil be stopped long enough to make a lear path for the motorists as they come in. Monday is not automobile day at the fair. Thursday will be the bis day. when the same cars that come over the desert and also local cars will compete in a series of races.
