Miss Caroline and Miss Matilda
Bargle lived In an old-fashioned house
with q lean.to shed, the roof Of which
ran nearly to the ground. Returning
from church one day, they noticed on
approaching their dwelling that the
churchgoers ahead Of them paused In
passing, and gazed upward with IN
terest and mirth. A moment later they
saw why. Their neighbor's billy-goat
had escaped, mounted the leanto to
the ridge-pole Of the kitchen roof, and
with one end Of a faring circus poster
streaming banner-like from his jaws.

The goat Is indeed a. dlsrespectful
animal He Is no respecter either OF

ruefully discovered. Admiral Evans
has related with pride, as worthy
achievement, his triumph In his earlier
days over refractory goat on ship
board, which refused to yield the milk
required for a sick man.
After II had bafiied everybody whose
proper task II was to secure the milk,
the captain sent for Evans, and direct
ed him to 20 and get It.
Evans respectfully intimated that he
had not supposed milking goats to
be part Of the duty Of q navigating

ed It as . favor. and he undertook the
task.

was far from happy In II until he had

Mo- Law to Punish JAP Spies.

Manila, April 7.-Mueh indignation
has been aroused by the release Of the
two Japanese who were arrested here
few days ago on the charge Of being
spies. They were given their liberty
on cable instructions from Washington.
Owing to the fact that there 10 no pro-

alleged spies were turned over to the
civil authorities. An investigation Of

WILSON IS SCORED.
Professor Hopkins Says Farmers are
Wearing Out Land.

Chicago, April Q. - Characterixing
the teachings Of Secretary 'ames VIII
son a. "damnable, abominsblc and
disgracefgul." !" Professor Cyril g. Hop
kins. Of the University Of Illinois, de-
livcrcd a singing criticism Of the de-
partment Of agriculture here today In
an address ut the City club. Here are
some quotations from Secretary Wilson
cited by Professor Hopkins as "abom-
nsbly false:
Practically all soils contain sufii-
cient plant food for yields; this supply
will be indefinitely maintained.
$50 far M the present outlook 10
concerned. the nation possesses ample
resources In It's soil for any conceivable
increase In population for several CEN
turies."
"The soil is the one indestructible,
immutable asset that the nation pos
sesses. II Is the one resource that
cannot be exhausted; that cannot be
used up"
From the modern conception Of the
nature and purposes Of the soil. IL Is
tNiutit biat W sathtoh Wset WV as,
80 far as the mineral food Is concerned.
IL will continue automatically TO supply
adequate quantities Of plant foods for
crops"
"As a national asset. the soil Is safe
as a means Of feeding mankind for un-
told ages To come"
After he had cited these quotations.
Professor Hopkins said:
"Can you blame farmers for contin-
uing TO wear out their lands when
these are the teachings promulgated
from the highest authority in the
United States? And these false teach
ings are all the more damnable because
the common soil type on the abandoned
farms in Maryland, only few miles
from Washington. contain only 1853
pounds of phosphorous in the plowed
soil Of an acre, while the richest black
prairie soil Of Illinois. with value Of
5000 an acre contains more than 1000
pounds Of PHOSPHORUS in the stratum. "

the recovery Of 81 more bodies entomb-
ed since the disaster Of November ls.

square and had constituted rude fan
Of boards To keep the air circulating.
On the fan in big letters were chalk
ed the words quoted above. indicating
the men had lived at least until the
day after the fire. That the miners
were in the habit Of keeping their saw

the belt Of another miner was found
$50. and another had $l72. These
men were foreigners and evidently
preferred to carry their money In their

Mr.. and Mr. Roosevelt Showered
With Flags and Flowers.

Genoa, Italy, April .. - Though
"deelighted" 70 an unusual degree,
but in mind and spirit much perturbed,
because of ovations along his carriage
jaunt to this city, ex-President Theo-
dore Roosevelt and wife were compel
led to call halt today to their senti-
mental tour.
At every village or crossroads they
were met by men, women and children,
the former with flags and the latter
with bouquets.

accorded them, 900 persons, many Of
them Americans, acclaimed Colonel

sments and Colonel Roosevelt gave or.
ders TO be driven direct TO Genoa.

his coming, big crowd hurried to the
modest Hotel Britannia, where he had
engaged quarters. and with cheering
and waving Of hats greeted Roosevelts
carriage as IL ratified up the stony
street to the accompaniment Of the
drivers wildly cracking whip.
Both Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt
were smiling when they descended
from the carriage at the hotel enrance.
They said they had enjoyed the triT
hugely and were sorry only that the
failure to observe their incognito BY
the people had compelled them to cu'
IL short. Colonel Roosevelt said he
had "bully time" Thursday. when he
and Mrs. Roosevelt drove along the
sunny slopes Of the Ligurian Alps from
Spexis to Rapallo.
Half an hour after the arrival Of
Colonel Roosevelt, the prefect and the

stopped last night, the enterprisine
proprietor Of tavern-a rival 10 the
one In which they had engaged rooms
sent out couriers In advance bearing
American and Italian flags and tri'
umphantly escorted Colonel Roosevelt,

Men Who Bring Chinese and Opium
Are Hard Pressed.
Los Angeles, April 11.--Driven from
Los Angeles by the activity Of Federal
sleuths, aided by the local authorities,
the band Of opium and Chinese snug
glers that has been operating along the

TO the Northern ports in Washington
and Oregon. According TO Deputy
United States Marshal Durlin, who has
had large part in the two years war
fare on this particular breed Of law
breakers, the headquarters Of the band
has been transferred to Seattle, with
branches at Portland, Tacoma and Spo-
kane. At lthc latter place arrange
ments are made for disposing OF the

that has escaped arrest by the Federal
authorities. Three Of his confeder-
ates, including Larmon Gonzales, next
to Wallace the clevcrest of all, are in
Jail in this city, held as Federal pris-
oners. Gonzales was captured last
week In San Diego, after six weeks
campaign directed against him.
"I have had warrant for the ar
rest Of this man for nearly two
MONTHS" said Durlin, after the cap
ture. "He is one OF the craftiest men
have had TO deal with for long time.
Az soon a. we aimed our shafts at him
in particular, he apparently went into
secusion somewhere In Mexico. Ac-
cording TO my information he was In.
