His U. S. map showing every state
From down in Maine to the Golden Gate
Muffles looked pleased as the map he saw,
Then walked across and placed a paw
On a little town in Idaho
While he looked at Helen to let her know
That this was where her brother Jim
Could now be found if she d write to him.
And boys and girls who fortunes seek
Should know what followed, for in week
Jim got letter from sister dear
And wired her message of good cheer.
THEN said the Prince as he turned to Ruth
The fortunes tell are always truth
And truth for you can best be told
In one small word Of letters gold:
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-01-30


He chase re buns no CALL no speak;
He zig-zag run Like lightning streak;
He seem to fly he run so quick
/ lose him view in woods so thick''
The Prince replied: There's trouble ahead;
The little Jap may be hurt or dead;
Smashed on the rocks or drowned may be,
Or chased by a wild bear up tree
I know by Muffles, his big blue eyes,
BY the way he looks and purrs and cries,
That something wrong; that he will guide
search for the Jap on the mountainside.
THAT camp was hustle for a little bit
And Captain Dinkey nearly had fit,
For the Prince gave orders for him to stay
And cook the rabbits without delay;
Make a rabbit stew and a berry pie,
And onions roast and potatoes fry;
And flavor the stew and make some tea
And be ready sharp at six,'' said he.
Then off went Dutchy and Domino
With Muffles showing the way to go;
Into the woods, up the mountainside,
Muffles ahead as detective guide.

POOR Captain Dinkey was in distress,
For here on his hands was pretty mess.
He petted the rabbits and made them eat
Some cabbage leaves and celery sweet.
They seemed so friendly and looked so dear
And showed for him such little fear
That he couldn' get his heart, he knew
Quite hard enough to make the stew.
But as he worked with pan and pot
And stirred the fire to get it hot
He said out loud (there was no one near
Except the rabbits his words to hear):
Prince Domino, dis camp he r-rule,
An a rabbit caught is a rabbit fool,
And r-rabbit stew dat S what we need
At six clock tonight for feed;
But pom my word, you big-eared bun,
I wish d-dat Dutch had used gun
For as he spoke the rabbit gray
Jumped on his lap, as if to play.

of Notifications was briefly argued in
the supreme court today before Jus
tice Grant p Trent and the case was
taken under Amusement.
Deputy Attorney General Lanier
represented Major General William p.
Duvall commander of the department
Of the Philippines, and Colonel Irons,
the custodian of the prisoners. He
said the case was delicate one and
of great Importance and the military
officials desired reasonable time to
investigate it fully. They would then
turn the prisoners over to the civil
authorities or discharge them.
Counsel for the petitioners contend
ed that the court was without discre-
ton in the matter except to grant
the petition and the prisoners were
held without authority.
The argument developed that the
war department was fully advised as
to all steps taken in the case and the
arrests We're made under it's orders.
The prisoners were not produced in
court.

Some here believe it is mistake
to make a new survey, contending
that the route of the old wagon road

the available funds and that the pro-
