In the year 1908 the Argentine Republic ex-
ported 60916 head of live beef cattle, three
fOurths of which went to Chile. It exported
2,295,784 quarters (573,946 whole beeves) Of
frozen beef and from the sailing works 1885,
400 beeves as salt beef, meat extract or jerked
beef.
In this latter industry Uruguay in addition
exported $4,000 and southern Brazil 425ooo
head, respectively.

Fire Means Free Lunch.

The fire alarm sounded and a
vagrant who had been huddled in a
dark hallway crept out and joined the
crowd hurrying to the midnight fire.
Presently others of his fraternity ap-
peared.
why do all you Johnnies always
break your neeks to get to a fire."
said a man who was something of a
fire tiend himself.
The vagrant pointed to a woman
who was emerging from a nearby
apartment house carrying a pail of
steaming coffee.
There's the answer" he said. AT
every winter fire that gives the fire
men a hard tussle the women of the
neighborhood bring out coffee and
sandwiches TO brace them up. Some
times the firemen have time to snatch
a bite, sometimes they don't. Any
how there is sure to be something left
over and the women-well, it's a hard
hearted woman that won't give a poor
devil a cup of coffee a night like
this"

derelict, He got two cups of coffee

A Fatal Superstition.

A peculiar case illustrative of the
fell power of superstition Is reported
from Oodnababba. Australia. The
death occurred a short time ago of an
aborigine, Navy Tom a black Of
fine physique, whose portrait appears
on the cover of Mr.. Foster Fraser's
work, Quaint Subjects of the King"
This native was comparatively intelli-
gent and civilized, having been in the
employment of whites for many years,
and physically he was about the finest
type In the northwest, yet he died be-
cause another black. an enemy, pointed
a bone at him. No amount of reason
ing or ridicule on the part of the
whites could save him. Once a black
has been "boned,' he simply wastes
away; neither eats nor sleeps proper
ly, and the end soon comes. Abort
gines are fatalists, and Navy Tom
was no exception.

Compulsory Buying of Bibles.

The first Bible printed in Scotland
was issued complete In 1879. In the
same year, by act of parliament, every
gentleman, householder and others
worth thrie hundreth merkis of yier-
lie rent or abone," and every woman
and burgess with $500, had to pro-
vide, under a penalty of G10, "a Bible
and psalme buke in vulgare language
In THAR houssis for the better instruc-
ton of thame selffis and thir famelijs
In the knowledge of God"
To see that the provisions of the
above act We're carried into effect, the
following year a searcher was appoint
ed with power to visit the houses of
those signifed by the act and to re-
quire the SIGHT of THAR Psalme Bulkis
and Bybtllis." In a footnote 1t is add
ed: The privy council had In 1875
commanded and charged the princl-
pallis and Heidismen of query parochin
alsweill to Burgh as Landwart' to con
tribute and collect G5 for the DUR
chase of a Bible to be placed In every

A Strange Custom of Alaska.

Perhaps the most interesting arch
geological discovery made on the
north coast of Alaska has a relation
to the present methods of personal
decoration now used by the natives Of
Alaska, the most significant feature Of
which is the wearing of lip buttons, or
labrets, by the men. The present Gus
ton is that when a boy is IA or Is
years of age holes are pierced in his
lower lip, one below each corner of
the mouth. a small wooden plug is at
first inserted to keep the hole from
growing together, and month by month
a bigger and bigger plug is used, till
finally the openings are half an inch
in diameter. At this point the young
man begins to wear stone or ivory
plugs. The ornaments are put in
from the inside ordinarily as one
might insert a button into a shirt
front. Usually the two buttons worn
are each of a different sort, while
sometimes only one of the holes Is
filled, and in summer men are occa-
sionally met with who wear no but
tons at all. When a visitor is seen ap-
preaching. however, the ornaments
are always inserted. for one does not
feel dressed without them. In pre-
pairing for sleep they are usually re-
moved.-Harper's Magazine.

SOLDIERS UNDER TWO FLAGS
How the Call of Adventure Under For.
eign colors Has Frightened
History.

The American may be parGoned for
yielding to The lure of adventure in for
elgn wars, and those two whose recent
execution In Nicaragua belonged to a
large and noble company of soldiers OF
fortune who fought, sometimes for
pure love of fighting. sometimes for re-
yenge. but more often for love of lib
erty and very rarely for pure love of
gain. Not all the heroes of history
have been those who fought under
their own flag The Dutch government
took a deservedly prominent part in
the recent celebration of the Hudson
Fulton centennial, but Hudson was an
Engllshman who sailed under the flag
of Holland. and while he was not a
soldier of fortune In the b%elligerent
sense of the word, he was one of the
worlds greatest adventures who won
his fame under a foreign standard.
Christopher Columbus was an Italian,
who discoyered-or rediscovered-a
continent and planted on the sands of
the western world the banner of Spain.
Apparently, indubitable and exhaustive
researches by Minnesota historians
and scientists have proved that Column
bus came here centuries after the
Scandinayians discovered America,
whose very name was derived from
that of another Italian. Chinese Cor
don's sobriquet indicates his career,
and the history of the orient is replete
with instances of Europeans who rose
10 power, while American colonial his
tory bears on Its pages the names of
Lafayette. Pulaski, Steuben, Kosciusko
and others who fought for human free
dom under an alien flag. Garibaldi
fought under three flags, those of Italy,
France and Uruguay; and in connec-
ton with the South American revolu-
tons 1t is not particularly anomalous
that one of the national heroes of the
Argentine republic Is O'Higgins, while
one of the great African war heroes of
Spain was O'Donnell, the apostrophes
in whoses James are self-eXplanatory.
When the roster Of all the worlds
armies of conquest and defense, of do
minion and discovery, of exploration
and expansion, Is scanned, 1t Is found
that more than one flag foated over
many a hero, and hat detection under
a foreign banner is not se~lf-confessed
outlawry, worthy of execration and
punishment.

Nc EWen's Decision,

Not long ago Justice McEwen sat on
a COW case; that is, a case involving
money due one mar for boarding the
COW of another. The wrangle was
as to what the board was worth.
One attorney called three or four
liverymen and got their testimony on
the cost Of boarding a horse. OF
course. the opposing counsel objected
and declared such testimony to be In
competent, on the ground that the
cost of boarding a horse is not the
same as the cost of boarding a COW.
This the other attorney conceded,
but he explained that he was going to
follow up the testimony of the livery
men with expert testimony to show
how much less, If any, it costs to
keep a COW than a horse.
"Oh, If you are going to work on
that PLAN" put in McEwen in judicial
tones, you might as well start in
with elephants and work down to
cows by gradual stagesp-Cleveland

THE JUVENILE PROBLEM.

At the trial of the Mcdaniel boys
in the county court house last Thurs
day. :he public schools and the local
churches We're severely criticised.
II is conceded that neither of these
institutions is perfect. Both the pub
lie schools and the churches of Falls
City are ready to admit their limi-
tations. But. they are growing. They
may not be successfully meeting
every human frailty with u strong
and sure prop. They may not at
the present stage of their develop
ment be saving from ignorance and
Viciousness every boy and girl in

deaVoring TO do so. If they have
thus far measurably failed. it has
been from no lack OF intention. This
is more than can be said of the over
critical brethren. who took advantage
of the occasion to vent their ill-will
against the only institutions in Falls
City that stand for progressive right

good reason to think that when they

when all stop together none Is any the
