According to Writer, Very Small Per
Cent. of That Nation Are Per-
feet in the Art.

"Oblige," of all the words in the
English language, is the one most
frequently misspelled. This asser-
ton is made by W. Stewart Thorn
son in new edition of his Public
Examination Spelling Key" and is
based upon practical experience and
from evidence provided by the pa
pers of competitors in civil service
examinations.
''Not five per cent. of educated
Englishmen," Mr.. Thomson adds,
Spell correctly, even in standard
books and high class newspapers, the
simple word 'repellent.' The Eng
fish language is living and grow
ing thing and dictionaries as rule
are about fifty years behind the
times. There is perhaps no more
common fallacy with the experienced
writer than the idea that in these
DAYS of free education and strict
government inspection, every school
boy can spell all the fairly common
English words and that spelling
book should, therefore, contain only
such as are of considerable diff

MIsTLEToE AN ANNUAL CROP
Plentiful and Not Especially Hard 70
Gather In Parts Of Province
Of Brittany.

Ceuzy, in Brittany, annually be-
comes center of attraction for the
mistletoe pickers, and the poplars
that line the hillsides around about
the village show an abundance of
the precious evergreen, the sight of
which would fill the heart of many
Norman mistletoe gatherer with
envy, according to the Wide World
Magazine.
Here, however, the trees are lofty
and by no means SO easy to despoil
of their white berried parasite as the
apple trees in northern France,
which yield most of the harvest des-
tined to find its way to the British
market.
Nevertheless clambering up into
the tree tops go OF 70 feet from the
ground is not so difficult a task as it
may appear to those who are unin-
itiated into the modus operandi of
the mistletoe hunters. With the aid
of peculiarly shaped iron critics at
tached to their feet, enabling them
to get a firm grip of the trunk or
stem which they wish to ascend, the
skilled climbers make their way
from branch to branch with monkey
like agility and in a few minutes the
tree is stripped of its mistletoe crop.

Indian Says Things.

An old Indian who resides at
Pelican lake more of Tower and has
passed his Tooth year, has told his
people that famine is sure to fol-
low the coming of Halley's comet.
He says the Great Spirit is angry.
He saw the comet when it came IS
years ago and recalling its former
visit said:
When the star with tail was
here before, the Chippewas were a
powerful tribe. It came at that
time because my pesple had been
wicked. 1t did not destroy them
but the streams dried up, the cat
tie and horses died and the corn
and crops failed to grow. The
game went away and many of my
people died of hunger.
1t has come now because the
white people are so bad. ! hear
that they have been stealing from
the Great Father at Washington
and right here they have been try
ing to steal our land and cheat us
out of what has been given to us.
When the star with the tail was
here before, for three nights all the
stars fell. The nights were turned
into days and thousands of suns
were shining. At last the medi-
cine men drove the evil spirits
away but not until the star had
shown its power. Now the Great
Spirit is mad again and this year
there will not be any crops raised
by the white men. Many people
will die and many more will be
hungry. ;"

RESULTS JUSTIFY
PROBATION WORK
Small Percentage of Failure Is
Shown in Report to SUI
perior Court

OAKLAND, June 9.-Two-thirds OF
the cases referred by Judge Brown to
Probation Officer Ruess for investiga-
tion were acted on favorably and the
petitioners were given their liberty in
stead of being sent to penal institu-
tions. Ruess made a report today to
Judge Brown, in which he stated that
63 cases had been referred to him and
that AZ of these had resulted in proba-
tion being granted.
Out of the AZ cases thus placed on
probation only five have proved unsat-
isfactory, Ruess says. One violated the
law again and was sent to the peni-
Tertiary, one disappeared, another broke
his profmse to the court. though COM
mfttfng no further crime, and was sent
10 san Quentin, another lied to the
court and was sent to lone and the last
was found to be a man who had been
parolled in Minnesota and had broken
his parole. Three other cases were
brought into court for violating proba-
ton, but the circumstances were such
that probation was not revoked.
According to Ruess the state has been
saved $4,000 by his probation work. In
So out of the SO cases referred TO him
a plea Of guilty was entered and the
county was saved the expense of trial
which was a saving of $4,000 he esti-
mates. Had half of the trials resulted
in convictions, keeping the convicted
men in penitentiaries and other insti-
tutions would have cost $4,000. The
cost of the probation machinery of Ala
media county for the same period OF
time covered by the 63 cases has been
$4,000.
Thirty-eig of the AZ are on proba-
ton for crimes against property, Is be-
ing burglaries Eight of the crimes
We're committed while the men were in
toxicated, eight by men or women in
some sort of need for the proceeds OF
their crime five are attributed to the
maddening effects of love affairs and
four to avariciousness. Fifteen of the
AZ probationers were under 21 years OF
age, and Ia more between 21 and 80
while one was over so. Sixty per cent
were out of work when they broke the
law. Only six of the AZ are church
goers Twenty-Five are Protestant and
10 Catholic. Over so per cent are Amer
lean born.
