Healy as his name indicates was an Irishman,
and Of type common in the pioneer days of the
West,-a JOY to those who were on his side, and
terror to those who were not. Naturally, Healy
paid attention to the ultlmatum OF the Spit Zee
Cavalry. A second order was sent him, and when
that too was ignored the Spit Zee Cavalry con-
sidered it time to act.
In some way they caught Healy mapping and the
whole force managed to gain entrance to the
post before he knew of their presence. Confident
in the power of numbers they laid down the law

pulled out white hot poker that he had thrust into
the Goals unseen few moments before, and, rushing
across the room, tore off the rawhde covering a
barrel of powder, and, holding the poker poised
above it, said
I'm give you people just two minutes to get out
of here! If you don't go. I'll send us all to hell to-
getherl'
Two minutes was an ample time limit for the Spit
Zee Cavalry, which tumbled out of Healys fort and
kept going until they had put enough distance be-
tween themselves and the red headed 1rishman to
convince him of the sincerity of their belated good
intentions.
Naturally the Spit Zee Cavalry could not outlive
the storm of rdicule this episode aroused at their
expense, and so this went down in history as their
one and only attempt to enforce their law against
the whisky traders.

placed the center of. gravity far be-
low the wings, in the belief that the
weight would naturally seek to remain
at the lowest point 1t was true that,
like the pendulum, it tended to seek
the lowest point; but also, like the
pendulum, it tended to oscillate in a
manner destructive of all stability. A
more satisfactory system, especially
for lateral balance, was that of arrang.
ing the wings in the shape Of broad
V, to form dihedral angle, with the
center low and the wing tips elevated.
In theory this was an automatic sys-

ANIMALS SENT TO PRESIDENT.
Gifts Made Are Mostly Sent to the
Geological Park. ".

No presidents family has been tho
recipient Of as many animal pets as
has that of President Roosevelt. This
is undoubtedly due to. the widespread
knowledge Of the presidents fondness
for hunting and his interest in every
thing pertaining to brute creation.
With few exceptions the animals pre-
sented to the president or his children
have been sent to the Geological park
in Washington.
Gifts of wild and domestic animals
from admirers in foreign countries
have not been infrequent One of the
most interesting presents OF this kind
was that OF King Menelik Of Abys-
sinia, who sent the president an Ara
bian zebra and two ostriches as a
token of his esteem and admiration
for Mr.. Roosevelt.
The American animals received at
the White House range from white
rats and mice to a cinnamon bear or
a mountain lion The most treasured
pets of the younger members of the
family are their ponies. A Mexican
double yellow-head parrot was the ia
vorite of Miss Alice before she mar.
ried, and the cries of "Alice' by the
bird filled the White House for many
days after his mistress had left.
