ANSWERS TO QUERIES

HORSE LIoN-A D. S.. City. Which Of the
two animals the lion or the horse, has the
strongest pull?
1t is said that if a lion and a strong
horse were hitched and each pulled in
an opposite direction, the horse would
pull the lion backward with compara-
tive ease, but that If the lion were
hitched behind the horse, facing as
the horse, and exerted his full strength
in backing he could with ease drag the
horse down on his launches or drag
him across a field, so much greater is
his strength when exerted backwards
from the hind legs than in pulling
forward.

VEN the members of the Bohemian
- bled at Bohemian grove, are not
spared the scourge of a newspaper.
Bohemia's paper. like an incubus,
comes at night and boots on the chest
Nightly Hoot, and lives up to it's name
The appellation was selected In tender
homage to the sacred owl of the grove,
which is the symbol of the wisdom
that stays up all night The Bohe-
mians are now at their grove in prep
aration for the midsumer jinks.
The first issue of the four page paper
came on Monday, July 20. 1t is a well
edited journal, with typographical err
rors left in their original places, to
give variety and also verisimilitude to
the report that it is edited with the
wisdom of the owl.
The title line is work of art The
words The Nightly Hoot'' are drawn
with greatest care, to give a sugges-
ton of out of doors-the plate is
wood cut, or rather a wood chop, so
deftly and grandly was il done-but
the name of the wood chopper who ex-
ecuted the masterpiece does not ap-
pear. Seated on top of the letter III
in night is an owl. Behind him is an
appropriately full moon. The condition
of the moon is not to be changed during
the entire jinks period.
No member is spared by the little
paper of Bohemia. The paper says:

TROIA FUIT I!

The world was wide when I was young,
My schoolday hills and dales among;
But oh, it needs no Puck to put
With whipping wing and flying foot,
A girdle round the narrow sphere
In which I labor now and heret
Life's face was fair when careless /
First loved beneath an April sky,
And wept those fine-imagined woes
That Youth at nineteen thinks 1t knows;
Now love and woe both run so deep
/ have not any time to weep.
No matter; though at last we see
That what was could not always be-
1T girds our loins and steels our hands
In duller days and smaller lands
To recollect the country where
The world was wide and life was fair.
