Lady Innes Ker, with her husband. stopping at the Plaza, in New York, is one of the most modestly dressed women to be seen at that fashionable New York hotel. She thinks the American girl winner and one who makes good wife.
 Why is it," she was asked, that the American young woman is so cas- fly fascinated by a foreigner"
 ''Is that true?" she inquired.
 Well, it would seem so from the number of wives America has fur nished Europe within the past 12 years"
 Were any of them poor girls?" she responded naively. You see, we must have a lot of money abroad. And some of our young men are so ter ribly extravagant. But you know they are decidedly handsome, too"

 Bird and Fig were the last two government men on the trail and were notified to return when they sighted him. They established them selves at Handy's ranch when Jones rode up and asked for shelter. The first night he slept with six-shooter in each hand. In the morning he wa tered his horse with the two deputies In front of him and it was not until breakfast was served that he became careless. Bird was cooking fapjacks and Jones sat with his back toward him and his gun resting in his lap. Bird saw his chance and grabbing a rife, poked 1t into Jones' back.

 According to veracious chronicle the dog saw some plumbers heating metal over a gasoline burned at a house near the barn. After the men left, the dog was seen to approach the stove and gingerly extend his mug gle over the blaze. The intense heat scorched the hair of the dog, but Bryan heroically persisted until he had brought one of the wires of his muzzle to a white heat.
 Persons who reported the incident say the dog waited until the heated wire became brittle and then he snapped 1t against stone. The wire was shattered and the muzzle fell from the dogs jaws.
