HIS SKY MENAGEEE.

Johnny was going to sleep every
night in a big old army tent on the
lawn. The doctor said It would make
him stronger, and so everybody was
willing.
Johnny himself thought it would be
fun. At first It did seem a little
strange to be sleeping right under
your own parlor windows, but even
when the cold weather came, Johnny
liked his tent-room the best.
For the doctor was one of the jolly
kind. First he called the little boy
a real live soldier because he was
fighting the enemy and because he
was brave,-soldiers cannot have their
mothers with them, you lnOw,-and
then when he dressed him up in =
sleeping-bag with a fur hood, he call
ed him an Eskimo.
One evening they made believe that
the lawn was a desert. and that John
ny was an ancient Arab sleeping in
his tent. But where is my fie:y
steed?" asked the little boy:
"Ah, / guess you'll have to take the
great Camelopard-made of stars. up
there in the sky. Can't you see him?
No? Well, perhaps he hasn't swung
round there by your tent door yet, but
he will, never fear. See, there he Is
by the pole-star in the tail of the Lit
tie Bear; that's the star the sailor
steers by. Orion, the mighty hunter,
will peep in on the southwest. See
his belt OF bright stars, and each OF
his star feet spread as II he were
going to stride down the Milky Way
and threaten all the SKY animals with
his club"
"Are there enough for a wlSie cir
cus?'
well, there are several pretty
ladies. They do say that the big bear
you call It the Dipper-was once
a mother lady who was changed by
enchantmcnt into bear. Jupiter took
pity upon her when her son, hun.
ter, did not know her. So he changed
him into a Little Bear, and set them
both high up in the heavens. See,
there's a dragon running between
them, always trying TO reach the two
headed sea-serpent that runs up along
by the Milky Way on the other side
OF the sky. See, he is right near Tau
rus, the bull that frightened the los.
Plelad away. See the other sisters
sparkling near?"
"Girls are always afraid even OF
COWS" said Johnny.
There, right over the other side
OF the Milky Way are Gemlni, the
twins, with Castor and Pollux at their
feet"
'Did that first one invent castor
oil" asked Johnny, laughing,

PERIShED ON ALyORD DESERT

ed away from the ranch. He
must feed the stuff at home and

Mr. Biggs is also feeding a fine

These are being kept for breed

STRUCK FLOW OF GAS.

John Holder and one of the
Dawson boys were up from Sun
set the first of this week and re-
ported that Walter Holder had
struck n strong flow Of gas ut a
depth of 800 feet while sinking
a deep well for John Leake Just
this side of Malheur lake. 1t
seems Mr.. Holder and a man
who was helping him were re-
moving the drill rods when a
sudden roaring sound was fol-
lowed by rush Of water and gas
that shot high above the surface.
A second explosion was witness
ed but later subsidized. The rush
water was accompanied by a
considerable amount of stones Of
various sizes together with sand
and mud.
There is reason to believe that
a strong flow Of gas and oil un-
der lies this section and no doubt
this will cause some investigation.
We have nothing late regarding
this discovery and do not know
whether the parties are continu-
ing at this well or not.

NAVAL CONFERENCE
MAY PROVE FUTILE
to Prevent Fiasco-LaWs of
High Seas Difficult
to Decide

LONDON, Jan. 22.-There is a grow
ing impression here that the powers
will not be able to reconcile their diff
ferences, and that the international
naval conference which opened here
last month is doomed to failure.
Great Britain is working desperately
to prevent this, and she Cancelled the
meeting called for this morning after
arranging that the committees shall
take up the discussion of technical sub
jects only.
These committee meetings will be
continued until the delegates whose in
sistence that the views of their govern
ments shall prevail brought about the
deadlock receive more definite inStruc-
tions.
America is included in this group, for
the delegates, acting on instructions
from Washington, refused particularly
to concede anything on the question of
continuous voyages"
This question is regarded as vital by
the United States, and having made
concessions to other powers on points
regarded by them as vital. she is now
looking for a little reciprocity, but up
to the present time this has not been
forthcoming.
The international naval conference
was called by Great Britain to frame
q code of laws for naval warfare, and
to establish the international prize
court as recommended by The Hague
conference. The conference was to de-
termine as many definite principles of
maritime international law as possible.
