Tho Great vidoea,

vidocq. the great French detective, was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was 8 notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1706 he re. turned to Paris with some money. which, however, he soon squandered Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight years' hard labor for forgery, but re- peatedly escaped. and in 1908 he be. came connected with the Paris police as detective. His previous career enabled hi;n to render important serv ices. and lie was appointed chief of the safety brigade, chiefly composed of re- pr1eved convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. 1n 1918 he received a full pardon. and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928, when he settled at St. Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became political detective, but with little success. In 1S48 he was again em. ployed under the republican govern
 u,ent. but he died penniless in 1857.

Edible Flowers of India.

Many edible flowers. it appears. are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on tree about which we have very little information, but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers. whosA pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick. and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put in cakes, to which they give a sweet davor, but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried ard reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment a kind of wine is produced, and by distilling them a brandy Is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- ton Scientidque.

Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever. but Jack-that was the name of the donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights. We finally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together And tried to find out what had been the matter. Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up a program. which showed that Princes name was print ed in the same kind of type we used for Jack.

No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tsndsr
 When Served.
 One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that 1t Is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their. years 1may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans. one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- uet and to some other associates.
 "All the boys." said MT. Cleveland, thanked me politely for having re- membered them. but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, found, had his cooked on q night when he was dining out. Another, when l asked him, said he hoped wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days Finally I asked him about It.
 'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 "'Yes, sir-oh, yes, got the swan all right. thank you, and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 "'Fine bird,' I said.
 "'Yes, sir, fine bird and he went on working.
 "'Enjoy eating him. Thurber?'
 "He waited a minute. and then he said: Well, sir. guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And he went on working without cracking a aYni1o o

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco is couched in a very fowery and fam boyant style. It is interspersed with . variety of meaningless adulatoy phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example, an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "In our present letter God increase bis power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity we have authorized our incorruptble servant (here follows name) to contract in the name and on the behoof of the treasury (heaven dn it) a loan of --.s etc.
 Considering that the "incorruptible servant" Is filchins as much as he pos sible can from the treasury 1t Is cer tainly necessary to pray that "heaven all it"-Londou Graphic.

THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
What 1t Means to Man to Be Pionses
 In Thouqht.

In Thought.
 To be a pioneer in thought ts to stand alone with nature. not for few minutes but for life. The isolateness If the few great minds of each gen. Dration of men is utterly undreamed of, for want of understanding, by those about them. Yet think what 1t is to pass ones days in a thought world where the thinker roams alone; to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary comprehension and the solution appre- ciated only in years to come; to con. template fin lonely ecstasy, after still lonelier despair. the revelation that ccmes with months and more of pon. dering. When some one asked New. ton how he came to make his wonder. full discoveries he replied, "Simply by always thinking about them" Consid- CT Kepler toiling year after year fruit lessly for some ratio that should link the planets motions by general law. calculating assiduously and putting hypothesis after hypothesis aside as he found 1t would not work until at last, after almost inconceivable toll, he hit upon the one that would.
 As if this loneliness by nature were not enough. it must needs be accen- tuated by man, for he rises in such cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin. in patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact. only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab- surd. Think you the denunciations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he Is dead? The loneliness of greatness Is the price men make the genius pay for posthumous renown.-Percival Lowell in Atlantic.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. Dec %
Dr. r. L. Burns, who was reported
murdered Saturday in his office at
Hennepin, Okla, is alive at Seigman,
Mo. This was shown by private tele-
grams from Burns to his brother at
Davis, Okla, which We're intercepted
by the police at Davis today
The authorities at Hennepin report
ed Saturday night that Burns had
been murdered Friday night after they
had, they said, found blood stains on
the bed in his office where he slept.
What appeared to be blood stains along
the public highway leading from the
town convinced the officers that the
supposed murderer had hauled his vic
TINS body away in wagon. A posse
was formed and bloodhounds were Sc
cured for a general search for the sup
posed murderer. Late Saturday night
it was enormously reported the body
of the physician had been found.

NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
MANAGEMENT GIVES NO
CAUSE FOR SHUTTING
DOWN ON DEM SHAT 7

BISBEE, Ariz., Dec. 26.-The pumps
are all out of the Dem shaft and
steam is kept in but one boiler which
is used to run the hoist in bringing
material out of the shaft. General
Manager Byron Pattison says he re
ccived no further word from the east
as to the reason of the shutdown.
The local stockholders and directors
want to keep the pumps working and
are all in favor of unwatering the
mine as soon as possible. The opposi
tion to this plan comes from the east
ern interests headed by the Chisholm
interest. The local directors are Byron
Pattison, Morris Denn, J. M. OCon-
nell and l.. c. Shattuck. Martin Pat
tison Of Duluth, father of General Man
agel Byron Pattison, is with the local
directors in the desire to continue the
work at the mine. 1t is very likely
that after J.. G. Shattuck arrives from
the east the local directors will hold
meeting, as they have control of the
board and some action may be taken.
Shattuck left Duluth Thursday and
was in Chicago Friday and from there
will come to BiSbec.

APPROVES LEASING SYSTEM

That the same leasing system recom-
mended by President Taft in connec-
ton with suggestions for coal and
phosphate land legislation should be
made to apply to oil and gas acreage
is the belief of some of the men con-
nected with the petroleum industry OF
California.
In .4ls recent message to congress
the president suggested that coal and
phosphate lands should be leased under
a competitive system of bids and the
life of the lease should be for a period
not to exceed fifty years.
1.-THE government should collect q
minimum rental and royalties" he rec
commended, "and the payment of these
should be readjusted every ten or
twelve years.
1.-THE maximum amount OF land to be
leased to any one person should be linz
tier to $500 acres of surface"
The presidents recommendation for
oil and gas lands was that such prop
erty should be licensed for two years
for prospecting.
S. c. Graham, president of the Oil
Conservation association, has expressed
himself as favoring the same system
for oil and gas land that has been rec
commended for coal and phosphate
property.
