TODAY'S ROLL OF HONOR

The above list will be known as The
Roll of Honor" and will appear from
now until the end of the race. The
eight highest candidates Will be seen
in numerical position every day. This
separate list Will show the leading
candidates at a glance, while the reg
ular standing would occasion a Bit of
inconvenience looking up the relative
position of Individual contestants.
Every contestant realizes that the
time is growing short to secure extra
votes and most of them are putting
forth their best efforts to win out.
They should bear in mind that all these
little efforts will bring them nearer
the goal of their ambition-a piano, a
diamond ring or a gold watch.
An effort is necessary to secure any
thing worth having. and most espe-
cially where competition is so keen
in this particular race. The main
qualification prizes will go to the per-
sistent and TO win out will take some
courage. That qualification seems to
characterize our contestants, and great
results must follow.
There is no short cut to success in
this contest. It's secret is contained in
these three words: Effort. hope and
realization. Hope supplies the inspira-
tiOn, but effort follows upon realiZa-
ton, which is the lever that rules the
world today. The votes which have
been accommodating for the contes tants
and now stand to their credit go to
show the tremendous amount of actual
work that has been done.
Contestants who are low in their dis
tricts will have the same opportunity
to secure double the votes as those
who appear in the lead Now is the
time to get after subscriptions in real
earnest while it is possible to get so
many thousand extra votes. For in
stance, five yearly subscriptions will
secure 10000 votes while ten yearly
subscriptions will secure $4,000 votes.
if they are turned in by Wednesday
night, February 18th.

The Name Tibet,

Many forms of the name Tibet
sprang from the Chinese Tubar (fifth
century, through the variations of
Tuebet, Toboet, Thibet Q165), Tebet
(1298, to Tibet Q73O). The origin Of
the name has been variously account
ed for, but the weight Of historical ev-
idence indicates that the word is de-
rived from Tubat, a famous family
name proper to several ancient Tartar
dynasties, extensively used in the
sense Of "chief." Hodgson asserts
that before the arrival of Indian teach
ers the people had no name for them
selves or their land, and. though the
present name is not, as some say, IN
known in the country itself, the mod
ern Tibetans call themselves Bod-pa
and their land Bod-yul, Bod being a
Buddhist appellative suggested by the
Sanskrit bot, or bat, so working back
to the Tartar name.-London Specta-

CAUGHT ON THE BOUNCE.
The Parsons Second Barrel Play on
the Wounded Ducks.

the Wounded Ducks.
When the night wind wines about
the cunning cabin nestled in the beach
hills the hearts within grow reminis-
cent.
1.-The best canvasback shooting ever
had was down off the mouth of GRAVY
inlet" said the parson. "A ripping
northeastern was blowing, and I was
out on the end Of the point alone. The
ducks came down wind along the edge
Of the shoal, and they were so far
away that it was just impossible to
kill them outright. I could have had a
hundred shots that day, they came so
thick, but let lot of them go by.
At dark 1 had picked up twenty-five
birds. Not one Of them was dead
when 1 dropped them as they wheeled
by; but, boys, didn't have to shoot a
single cripple in the water"
Curley gave the parson a long look,
filed and lighted his pipe, then snort
ed in disgust, for he was an old hand,
and he knew that one needed more
than a pinch of salt to capture a
wounded canvasback in open water.
"Suppose you hypnotized those birds
you couldn't kill dead into coming
ashore for you to wiring their necks ?"
he grunred. '---- .~-.-~---------~ .-~,
"No," said the parson slowly; ''they
were going so fast that when I knocked
'em down they'd hit the water and
bound up ten or fifteen feet. Then ia
kill 'em on the first bounce with the

A Bridqe of Ants,

A species Of ants which spin silk is
common in hot countries. The ants
nest in trees, binding the leaves to-
gether to make their nests. The silk
used for this purpose is not secreted
by the adult ants. but by the larvae.
In order to attach the silken threads
and draw the leaves together the ants
must carry the larvae about from leaf
to leaf. When two distant leaves are
to be drawn together a remarkable
method is employed. Five or six ants
form a chain bridging the gap between
the leaves, each gripping the waist of
another in its mandibles. A number of
such chains will cooperate in bringing
two leaves together.

CORDED A CROCODILE
Turning Greedy Water Devil Into .
Trussed Up Mummy.

Trussed Up Mummy. il
1t is known that a crocodile will
sometimes leave a river stocked with
food, explore for miles an unsuitable
tributary, then wander inland until it
finds pool.
In this way three crocodiles once
found their way to TAPPING lake. in
the Malay peninsula. So long as thew
confined their attention to the fish and
an occasional duck no one objected to
their presence, but when one Of them
began to take sheep of the bank as
they came down to drink it was felt
that the saurians ought to be exter-
minated, and an Englishman and his
servant made the attempt:
Obtaining a dugout. they padded
into deep water. The servant was
already barefoot, and the Englishman
himself took off shoes and stockings.
So that his bare feet might have as
good hold as possible on the smooth
bottom OF the canoe. A bait was at
tached to heavy rattan, and soon a
tug and a plunge indicated that the
crocodile was fast to one end. In
mediately the canoe began to move
through the water. After protracted
struggle the Engishman managed to
get the crocodile within a few wards
or the canoe. At one moment the omen
Jaws would surge out of the broken
water and snap together in unpleasant
proximity to the mems legs; the next
moment the heavy tail would swing
Tree OF the water and with the weight
OF a falling pole would hit the side of
the canoe blow that made it SILVER.
AS the crocodile surged close to the
canoe and the open mouth appeared
above the water the servant slipped a
moose OF stout cord over the upper law
and pulled It tight some six inches be-
hind the point Of its nostrils. Then.
with a quick turn of his wrist, he slip.
ped the slack Of the cord round under
the lower jaw. He drew the cord
tight, and the teeth Of each jaw press
ed home into the sockets of the other.
Inc servant now grasped the point of
the long, narrow head with one hand
ana with the other rapidly wound the
cord round the clinched mouth.
Another moose was slipped over a
fore leg. 1t pulled the leg up to the
animals side. The servant slipped the
line over the creatures back and
caught up the other fore leg. Then be
noosed and tied together the hind legs.
The effect he had achieved was Won
derful. In few minutes he had
transformed a ravening water devil
into trussed up mummy, and his only
weapon had been three pieces of box
cord.
The beast was afterward dispatched,
and the servant received the govern.
ment reward.-Harper's Weekly.

A leuend of Lace.

According to Melchior de Vogue, the
legend Of lace is as follows: a Vene-
tan sailor gave his ladylove frond Of
spreading seaweed to keep him in
memory while at sea. But the cir!
found that the seaweed was rapidly
drying up and disappearing. So she
caught the fine branches and leaves Of
the plant with thread against a piece
Of linen and, working on, with her
thoughts following her lover, invented
lace.

ESQ instead of lump sum for his

Soon after the bond was signed the
doctor went to Cornwall, where he re-
covered his health, and returned to
London without any cough, which was
far from being a pleasing sight to the
persons who had to pay his annuity.
One day he called upon Mr.. Walker,
the manager for the parties, who, sur

Ing the woodchuck, which is the only
one of the lot a Maine white man will

and the woodchuck. which are lean
and unsavory except for few months
in the fall, or the muskrat. which is
never fat and which has a strong
favor in spite Of parboiling, the hedge
hog is always in edible condition and
has meat that is as tender and white
as that of a spring chicken.
The method Of cooking a hedgehog
is so simple that a novice can learn in
one short lesson. When the epicure is
permitted to make a choice he should
shun the large old males, which at
times weigh thirty or forty pounds.
The preparation consists in removing
