Coyote and Jack Rabbit.

The speed Of the jack rabbit has al
ways been proverbial among western
men. like toe speed of n coyote. In a
straightaway race it is claimed that
the jack rabbit can distance the coyote.
but he usually falls victim to the
coyotes superior intelligence. The IA
vorite coyote method for catching jack
rabbits is for one Of the animals TO
start jack and attend to the work of
keeping the victim on the run. while
the other coyote sits down. patiently
awaiting the arrival of his dinner
The jack rabbit when he has free
range will run in circles, and the
coyotes cleverly count on this habit
Before long the rabbit will arrive at
the place from which he started, and
there coyote No. .. fresh and ready
for short sprint, will swoop down
upon him and then divide the meal
with the coyote that has done the ac-
tual chasing g-New York Press.

Hoover Expiates Crime on the Gallows.

Walking erect, and with eyes looking
straight before him, Alton V. Hoover
went to his death in the county Jail at
Erie last Thursday morning.
Hoover had broken down the day be-
fore because of the sound of workmen, as
they erected the scsffold, but by midnight
he had recovered his composure, and
slept until the death watch called him at
daybrea
He ate a hearty break fast ard spent
much of the remaining hours with his
spiritual adviser, Rev. DR., Bailey, of the
Presbyterian church, who accompanied
him to the 9allows.
When all was in readiness, as soon after
the legal hour for the hanging as possible,
the officers ofthe prison entered Hoover's
cell, and in few minutes the march to
the gallows commenced.
Hoover walked between Sheriff Bruff.
of Allegheny county, and Sheriff II. w.
Moomy, of Erie county, without fslter-
ing step. He mounted the gallows and
stood alone when Sheriff Bruff pinioned
his arms and the black cap and moose
were adjusted. He did not say a word,
and at 1923 the trap was sprung. The
body shot downward, but it was IA min
utes before Hoover was pronounced dead,
The body was turned over to relatives
for burial.
mil laI ha
night of November 2s, 1908. at Atlantic,
Crawford county, was a most brutal one.
He murdered the woman to whom he
had been married for less than two years,
and who had borne him a son. He called
the woman to the door of the house in
which she was visiting and fired three
shots into her body. She was removed to
the Spencer hospital, Meadvile, for
treatment, and later taken to Lakeside
hospital, Cleveland, where she received
surgical attention from the most skilful
physicians in the city. She died Decem-
ber q in the hospital.
At Erie Friday there was given out for
publication what purported to be the iiual
statement of A lion V. Hoover, given be-
fore death to his spiritual adviser, Rev.
George Bailey. In this Hoover bad little
to say, further tbau that he always loved
his wife and that he could not account for
the shooting. He pointed out some dis
crepaDcies in the testimony under which
he was convicted. According to the
minister Hoover made a profession OF
religion.

If lamp chimneys are rubbed over
with salt after washing, a more brilliant
light is the result. Various kitchen ap-
pointments and utensils also derive bene-
fit from the application of salt. The sink
and pipes connected with it can be- kept
fragrant and free from grease by being
flushed twice week with hot brine; to
rub over the inside Of a dishpan daily
with dry salt achieves the same end, and
saucepans will always smell sweet If,
after securing inside and out, they are
rinsed first with hot salted water, then
with plain cold, carefully dried and put
away. Discolored crockery should be
rubbed with dry salt, enameled cooking
vessels with flannel, or If much stained
with lemon-skin dipped in the same;
copper utensils respond to the latter
treatment, while mikpans should be
given an occasional securing with dry
salt, being afterwards scalded, rinsed and
dried in the usual way. If when clean
ing silver or plated spoons which have
been stained by being used for eggs, a
little salt is rubbed on the bowl, the stain
will be at once removed. Cut flowers
will keep longer If pinch is added to the
water in which they are kept. Dropping
flowers, after travelling may be revived
by warm salt and water, to which has
been added a few drops of ammonia

The habits of seals are very interest
ing The very young seal is helpless
In the water until he is taught by his
mother to swim. She takes him into
the water daily on her fin and dumps
him in and when he gets tired Of
1oundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the Young seals are well grown
they suddenly disappear with theil
mothers and the bull seals. No one
knows where they go, and their return
is equally us sudden as their departure.
The bulls are the first to put in an
appearance ut the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare camp for their mates
which they stake off and for which
they fight until they die In the mean
time the female seals remain quite o
distance from land, llonting lazily On
the water and seemingly having Il
good time

Senator Smith Highly HOnOred

The following from the Baltimore
American, the leading Republican paper
of the State relative to the committee
assignments of Senator John Walter
Smith. shows the esteem in which he is
held:
Senator Smiths appointments indi-
cate that the Senate has recognized his
splendid abilities as business man. and
man thoroughly equipped for the execu-
tive administration of the government.
He is appointed to the committee on
Appropriations. which is the most power
full and influential committee in the Sem
ate, for it holds all the Pursestrings of
that body, and no legislation involving
an appropriation. which is, after all. the
most important legislation, can pass the
Senate without the approval of the APP
preparations Committee. His appoint
ment to the District of Columbia Com
mittee is of Importance, because this
committee is practically the higher
branch of the city council for Washing
ton. His appointment to the Committee
on Naval Affairs is of vital interest to
the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The
remaining two Committee of Canadian
Relations and the Irrigation and Recla-
nation of Arid Lands are committees
of great possibilities, rather than of mo-
mentous achievement.
The fact that each Of the two Mary
land senators becomes a committee
chairman entitled their respective Sec
retaries to an increased salary and gives
each senator handsome suite of rooms
in the Office building.
