Oh. Italy In your great grief.
For sons and daughters swept away,
In sympathy and with relief.
We reach a hand to you today
We realize what you have lost,
That never can again be yours,
And seek on it a fearful cost
Your cities and your broken shores
Your thousands in their ocean graves
Only a moment-then the death
The crashing OF the cruel waves.
Stirred with a great. convulsive breath:
Your thousands in the sunken ground
And ruined homes at every hand
No such dire scenes were ever found
Before In any other land.
The holocaust. the funeral pyre.
That rose to heaven with human smell,
Commingled waves OF flood and fire
Like burning furnaces Of hell.
Oh. in your sorrow weep your tears.
The worlds full heart will weep
with you.
Before you are the coming years.
And God knows best what you must do.

so he grew braver and said:
Get out OF my way or I'll kick

Still there was no reply Then the
rabbit kicked with his hind foot so
hard that it was caught in the gum
and he could not move, and there he
stuck until the animals came for water
in the morning. When they discovered
the thief they had great sport over
him for while and then prepared to
Kill him. But as soon as the rabbit
was released from the tar wolf he

Dog=Kennel Attachment
Automobiles
fOf

The dog, trotting contentedly along
between, or just back, Of the rear
wheels OF a carriage, is one of the
pleasant remembrances of the time
when the horse was supreme, but horse
and dog were both rudely disturbed by
the advent of the automobile. Auto
mobiles run too fast for a dog to trot
along beside, and as there is not room
within the automobile for anything
larger than a lapdog and the coach dog
had to go
One English automobile firm, how
ever, is now manufacturing an auto
mobile body that opens at the back,
disclosing roomy kennel for dogs, but
It is quite probable that, although bet
ter than nothing at all. this arrange
ment will not be completely satisfac-
tory to either dog or master. Dogs
and horses seem to have a close rela-

Cost of Reproducing the Great
Pyramid

At a recent meeting of an engineer
ing society in Detroit, a paper was
read which gave the estimated cost of
reproducing the pyramid of Cheops-
was to interest the imagination
and to show what the advance of the
world in the mechanical has made pos
sible
1t was assumed that the material
should be equally as good as that OF
the original and that all the chambers
and passages should be reproduced.
The length of the sides of the pyramid
are at present 746 #, the height 454 tt,
and the area of the base IL and three
fourths acres. To build it there would
be required: 3,313,00o cubic yards of
coarse limestone as backing stone, 140,-
100000 cubic yards of fine limestone as
facing stone, 1000 cubic yards of gran
ite as facing stone, and 1000 cubic
yards of polished facing granite. The
total cost of the above would be at
least s36,O0o,o00, and the labor re-
quired would be 24,0o0,000 days work,
which is equivalent TO the work of 40,-
900 men for a periol of two years As
suming that the labor required would
cost no more than an average OF s1.50
per day for each workman, this item
would reach a total for the two years
OF $36,00Q,000. which would make the
total for material and labor $72.00o,-
600. To this figure must be added at
least sS,0a00o0 for transportation and
smaller items, and II built IN Detroit.
or IN most places. the cost OF a suitable
foundation would also have to be con-
sidered. The pyramid of Cheops
stands on a foundation OF solid rock
l20 feet deep, and If a foundation this
deep We're built. an additional 1900, 900
cubic yards of material would have to
be used. bringing the total cost of the
reproduction up to the 500, 900, ,O00
mark
The pyramid of Cheops consumed the
labor of 100000 men for 80 years, which
is about 900,000.OOO days work

Food From Queer Sources

Food for man has often been OBJ
tained from queer sources.
In, Central America, for instance,
there Is the bread tree and the milk
tree, the former having solid fruit
a little larger than a cocoanut. which
when cut into slices and cooked can
hardly be distinguished from excel
lent bread. The milk tree has a thick,
tough skin that can be used for half
soling shoes. and the tree Is milked
by boring into the trunk. when II
will let down sap as white and sweet
as any milk from a cow.
In Africa there is tree that yields
butter. While not as good as that
churned from cream it can be made
somewhat similar in taste by sailing.
In South America there Is a bird
known as ''the oil bird" from which
a species of butter can be obtained.
One of its favorite haunts is the
island OF Trinidad. 1t breeds In rocky
caves on the mainland. laying its
eggs In a nest constructed OF mud.
The young birds are extraordinarily
fat, and the fat. having been melted
down in clay pots, produces kind OF
butter.
A few years ago Professor Berthelot.
a French savant, announced at a din
ner in Paris that large portion OF
our food products could be directly
manufactured from the constituent
elements, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen
and hydrogen
Our milk, eggs and Hour Will eVehiu-

unblushingly boasted of It, The ter
rapin also had a CERT of cunning in
no small measure, and as the rabbit
was always playing tricks on the other
animals Mr.. Terrapin concocted a
practical joke with which he proceeded
to victimize the old joker
The terrapin challenged the rabbit
to foot race The day was fixed. the
starting place agreed upon. They were
to run across four mountain ridges. and
the one that came out first at the end
was to be the winner of the race.
'Br'er Rabbit said to himself that 1t
would be a shame 10 take anything go
easy, so he said to the terrapin: You
can't run, and everybody knows it. I'll
give you the first ridge and then you'll
have only three TO cross while I'll cross
over four
ITO this the terrapin assented and
went home to arrange for the race. He
sent for his terrapin friends and frank
ly told them that he knew that he
could not outrun the rabbit but he
wanted to stop his boasting. He then
explained his plan to them and they
agreed to help him.
The day came and the animals were
all out to see the race. The rabbit took
his station at the starting point, and
the terrapin went ahead, as they had
arranged. and they could hardly see him
on account of the tall grass. When the
word was given the rabbit started out
with long jumps up the mountain, ex-
pecting to win the race before the ter
rapin could get down the other side of
il. Before he got up the mountain he
saw the terrapin go over the ridge
ahead of him.
He ran on. and when he reached the
top he looked all around, but could not
see the terrapin on account of the tall
grass. Br'er Rabbit kept on down the
mountain and began to climb the sec
ond ridge but when he looked up again
there was the terrapin just going over
the top. This was surprising, and Br'er
Rabbit began to take longer jumps to
catch UP, but when he got to the top
there was the terrapin away. in the
front over the third ridge.
The rabbit was now getting tired
and nearly out of breath. but he kept
on down the mountain and up the other
ridge until he got to the top just in
time to see Mr.. Terrapin cross the
fourth ridge, and thus win the race.
"Br'er Rabbit could not make another
jump, but fell over on the ground, cry
ing Mi, NIL mi MI as the rabbit has
done ever since when he is too tired to
run any more. The race was given to
the terrapin, though all the animals
wondered how he managed it. But he
kept still and never told.
1T was easy enough, however. be-
cause all the terrapin's friends looked
just alike, and he had simply posted
one near the top of each ridge to wait
until the rabbit came in sight, and then
climb over and hide in the long grass
When the rabbit came on he could not
find the terrapin, and so thought the
terrapin was ahead, and il he had met
one of the other terrapins he would
have thought it was the same one, be-
cause they were so much alike"
The San Francisco call., 1909-03-13

MONG the Cherokee Indians the
A following story Of the rabbit and
the tar wolf used often to be told:
Once there was such a long season
OF dry weather that no more water re-
NAMED in the creeks and springs, and
the animals held a council to see
what could be done. They de-
cided 70 dig a well. and all agreed to
help except the rabbit, who was a lazy
fellow and said:
Il don't need TO dig for water. The
oew on the grass il enough for me-"
The other animals were not pleased
with the rabbits remark. but they set
10 work to dig the well. They noticed
that the rabbit kept sleek and lively
although II was still dry weather and
the water was becoming low in the
well.
The other animals suspected that the
tricky rabbit was stealing the water
at night, and they made q wolf of pine
gum and tar and placed it by the well
20 frighten the thief. That night the
rabbit came, as he had been coming

The Gardens of the Frost

Ger the gardens Of the Frost
l am gazing-wonder lost
AT the miracles of bloom
In profusion, everywhere;
Beautiful-without perfume
Nameless blossoms of the air.
Pure and white as virgin snow,
Clusters glitter, CLEAN and glow;
When the sun resplendent shines,
Turrets, cone and octagon,
Rise enmeshed In silver lines,
Purple tinted, one by one.
Here and there, jeweled spire
Lifts aloft a disk of fire,
Like a. star amid the mist,
Darling rays of brilliance clear,
Limpid gold and amethyst,
Through the frigfd atmosphere.
Tinsel tendrils intertwine
Gay festoons of tangled vine:
Pearls of rare and varied hue,
Fresco faded fronds of fern,
Till the tints of gold and blue
Into liquid amber turn.
Summers queen, the regal rose
Rival charms can not disclose;
And the lily of the vale
Nodding on her graceful stem,
Is. in lustrous beauty, pale,
Matched with winters diadem.
Ger the gardens of the Frost.
In a dreamy reverie lost.
Vague uncertainties arise,
AS my pensive bosom swells;
Are the flowers in Paradise.
Pure as winters asphodels?

4 City of Snow White Domes

The little city OF El-Oued, with it's
population of 5000 people, at the ex-
treme south of the province of Con-
stantine. in Algeria, is unique even for
a Mohammedan city, because of the
great number of its snow white domes
or cupolas- So extraordinary is the
great numebr of these cupolas that
many writer's have referred to El-Oued
as The City of Thousand Cupolas"
The homes of the residents of El-Ouel
are constructed of white plaster, and
were it not for the whiteness the domes
would be taken at a cursory glance to
be q city of coke ovens.

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
April 5-Receipts of cattle last
week were more liberal than for
some time, and under good de-
mand trade ruled active. The
market was more or less uneven,
prices dropping somewhat early
in the week but all the loss was
regained before the close. leav-
ing prices very much the same
as a week ago and the tone of
trade better. Good beef steers
sold at $5.25 to S5.7 and one
string of choice steers brought
SIS. 85 on Friday. Good cows sold
largely at 81. 25 to S4.75 with the
fair to good at SO. 85 to S4. 20.
Bulls were active and steady at
SO. 25 to $4.00 for good ones.
Veal calves sold up to $3.50 or
about the same as preceding
week. Feeder and stocker offer
ing was light and included few
good steers. Most of the fair
kinds on sale brought 81. 40 to
$3.50 but choice steers would
have sold up to S.. 25 and fancy
kinds even higher. The move
ment was active on all grades of
cattle all week and a good many
more could have been used to
advantage. Today's supply was
1000 head. Market about steady
at last weeks good close.
Hogs sold well throughout the
week, prices being a little
stronger at the close, prices now
ranging mostly from S6.60 to
Sc. 80. Receipts were quite lib
eral.
Sheep demand was good and
prices closed a little higher.
Good fat ewes sold up to S5.75,
wethers brought $500, yeariings
went at $3.50 and lambs sold up
to S7.50. Liberal shipments are
wanted on this market.

state matters. The governor is
making his appointments to suit
himself and Senator Patterson
and so far almost every appoint
ment has been surprise to the
politicians at least. We are dis
appointed because we had hoped
that the turning down that the
republicans got last fall would
encourage the democrats to do
good work in the belief that the
people would stand by them, but
they don't seem to care what the
people think of them and so of
course they will be willing to
take their medicine next election.
