AqonIzInq Death.

How men meet death was a subject
under discussion among a little party
of doctors. Some gruesome tales were
told. One man, surgeon on a hos
pital staff, said:
LAS a rule, however. death comes
peacefully enough and rather as re-
lief. an easing off from pain and trou-
BILE. But had notable exception the
other night. A burly Russian in my
ward, who had been terribly crushed
In the mills, was dying. 1t was In the
middle of the night watch. The lights
were low. The nurse on duty was with
me In the other end of the ward, when
the silence was broken by a great
fierce cry. We whirled about just IN
time to see this huge bearded mar
leap high in the air, turn over and
strike the floor with a terrible impact
we ran to him. He was dead"

,ronv Lost Case for Lawyer.

In his early days at the bar the late
Lord Bowen prosecuted prisoner who
had been caught In house at night
crawling downstairs with his boots on
and carrying portable property. The
evidence was 80 overwhelming that
Bowen entured to indulge In little
irony and remarked on the thoughtful
ness of the prisoner in removing his
shoes, thus disturbing nobody, and In
selecting only solid silver articles from
the plate basket, so that the family had
enough forks and spoons left for break
fast. The jury was so impressed by
these extenuating circumstances thai
it acquitted the prisoner. Bowen never
employed irony again when addressing
a jury,

Prospective Meat Prices.

While the general trend of meat
prices are upward, there is little doubt
but what the upward tendency has been
travelling at an unwarranted rate dur
ing the past year. Perhaps it is not
quite right to say high prices have not
been warranted by conditions. 1t
should be said, however, that for the
present, or for period in the near fu-
ture, the high prices of today will not
be maintained. We will drift toward
a general higher level, but at slower
pace than we have been going recently,
says Chicago Retailers journal.
The country today is full Of corn
and pigs, and these pigs will soon be
fat hogs. Farmers have found it profit
able to feed stock at the high prices
meat has been fetching. But before
prices went soaring there was a scare
ity of young hogs. The fancy price
for pork has induced the farmers to
raise more pigs, and pigs grow into
pork very fast. The pigs bred several
months ago will soon come into mar
ket, and the indications are. that there
are enough of them to pull the market
price down and keep it down for some
time.
Prices have been SO high that there
has been tendency to ship heavy hogs
to market. This has disturbed relative
prices of loins, hams and bacon and
salt pork.
But as prices go off we may expect a
better grade of hogs to be sent to mar
proper relation between the various
pork products.

ANTS DESTRoYERS OF FLIES

Capt Percy L. Jones of the army

comparatively rare in the Philippines
because of species of ant which con-

avidity.

NATIONAL FOREST
LAW HELD CORRECT
Federal Court Rules Against Grazing
without Permit Being First


The authority of the secretary Of agri-
culture to prevent the grazing Of live
stock on the national forests without a
permit has been sustained in New Mex
leo by. action of the federal courts in
three cases in which the defendants had
caused or permitted stock to tresspass
upon the Alamo forest in defiance of
the regulations.
The misconception which has led
stockmen to suppose they might Craze
their stock on the national forests
without taking out permit and pay
ing the grazing fee was due to the
decision rendered by the supreme court
of the United States last March, af-
frming a decision of the United States
district court for the southern district
of California, by Judge Wellborn, that
violation of the grazing regulations is
not punishable as crime. This deci-
sion of the supreme court, however, was
by an even division of the justices, and
therefore did not decide the general
question one way or the other, but
merely affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the particular case.
Case to Supreme Court.
The supreme court has granted re-
hearing Of the case, in order that the
question may be passed upon by full
bench and authoritatively settled, and
this rehearing will soon take place. But
the authority Of the secretary to pre-
, vent grazing except in accordance with
t his regulations does not, it is pointed
. out, depend upon affirmation of the
power of the government to punish VIC
lation of the regulations as crime.

PROHIBITION Is PARALYZED
In Georgia by Locker Clubs and Near
HeeF Staads.-As Much Drunk
enness Ever

Atlanta, April 29.-"You might as
well try to split Stone Mountain with
a wooden toothpick as to endeaver to
stop locker clubs in Georgia from vio-
lating the present prohibition law if
they choose to do so,' declared Judge
George L. Bell, Of the Fulton superior
court yesterday from the bench, in the
course of a statement in which he be-
Ilieved the prohibition movement In
Georgia had thus far failed in its pur-
pose.
when the legislature, after passing
a good prohibition law, tackled on the
provision taxing near beer and thus
recognizing that imaginary concoction,
and then provided for the establish
ment of locker clubs. it is my belief
that it defeated. to all intents and pur
poses, the object of the prohibition
law.
Take the situation in Georgia today
There isn't a single city. and there are
| few towns, where every known brand
of beer, including the finest imported
articles in some instances. cannot be
purchased over the public har, in sa
| looms which haven't changed one whit
in appearance or in the results they
produce except that whisky can no
longer be sold over them. The same
| fights occur in these barrooms. the
same drunkenness can be traced to
their door-though in perhaps a slight
| ly lesser degree. Then take the whis-
! ky question There is scarcely club
without its har or its equivalent tables
where You can get anything from a
Scotch highbail or gin rickey TO cham
pagne.
| so in state where you can buy
beer publicly. and whisky in mixed
drinks semi publicly, where is the vic
tory for prohihitien?"
Judge Bell gave voice 10 these opin-
ions in connection with the fight be
tween the city of Atlanta and the
Union and Mechanics Club. The city
! tried TO close il on the ground that il
was practically little better than a
blind tiger, deriving nearly all its rev
enue from the sale of whisky. and
permitting young women. unchaperon-
bers of the club. Judge Bell has ruled
that the city has right TO license the
club. TO take away Its license for cause
and TO close II If it chose. But mean
while he has granted supersedeas
and the club remains temporarily oper
luntil the question of the cttyS author
ity is passed on by the supreme court
With the present law, according Il
Judge Bell il is practically impossible
TO prevent locker clubs from violatin
the law if they choose. for all safs
guards for secrecy are given, and NJ
opportunities left to the police for rea
surveillance.
