sehooI neeky sharp A,tendea.

If one had 10 select a single Thack- cray shrine in London for a pilgrim age 1t might we'll be Walpole House on Chiswick Hall. This was not only the house where Tbackeray as a ner- yous. shortsighted boy was placed at school with pr. Turner and was SO miserable that he tried to run away. It possesses that other interest which makes the scenes of Mir. Pickwick's imaginary adventures more historic than those of Dickens real life, for Walpole House is certainly Miss Pin kerton's academy. and here is the spot where Becky Sharp seandalous- ly hurled back the dictionary.
 Lloyd Sanders, studying Old Chis- wick. admits. indeed. that Thackeray borrowed some details for Miss Pin kerton from other houses. But Wal pole House is the basis. Here, too, when it was a boarding house. Daniel O'Conren ate his dinners and here Charles Ills Duchess of CieTaiand probably ended her days.

DOUGLAS ID BISBEE
 ROAD BEING PUSHED
That Part of Territorial High way Win Be Completed
 by September i,

The territorial highway between Douglas and Bisbee will be completed by the end Of this month. according to J. A. Parker, engineer in charge, if sufficient rain to allow of rolling and surlacing. falls. Work upon two con crete arched bridges to span the Low ell wash, GO feet in length, and q l6 foot srGn to cross an arroya near Forest siding was suspended several weeks ago for fear the rains would wash out the skeleton forms before the work could be completed.
 Since that time not a rain has fall en and work has been retarded. The road Is now complete as far as For est siding on the Douglas. end.
 The section of the highway leading out Of Lowell, and separated from the other completed end by Forest can yon, is in splendid shape and is al ready being used by automobilists for short joy rides. Substantial culyerts have been built over every wash and gully along this section of the road, which is as smooth as the palm of ones hand Instead of building the road with a rounded surface, it is bor. dered by drains that will take care of the rain water.

LIGHTHOUSE HAS NO KEEPER
Volcano on San Salvador Whose Flashes of Light Gene Regularly
 Every Seven Minutes.

What do you think Of a perpetual lighthouse. needing no keeper, and yet as regular In its flashes of light as one maintained by the govern ment?" asked Albert D. Van Wyck. a globe trotter, at the Raleigh.
 This natural light never falls. and that means much for navigation. It Is volcano on the island of San Sal- yador. This volcanic lighthouse is about eight miles inland from the port of Acajutla. It is a veritable pillar of cloud by day. and the flash of its light by night has been valuable to marin CTS for years. It can be seen far out at sea. and a burst Of flame has gone upward every seven minutes, without the variation of second. for many years
 The few visitors who stop at San Salvador aIause themselves the first few days by holding their watches and timing the outburst of flame.
 "A lighthouse fee is collected of all vessels that put in at the harhor near est the volcano. and no skipper ob- jects. He knows that the volcano is more reliable than the Lighthouses kept by human beings on other coasts, and the novelty of the light is worth the price charged by the government There Is the usual detonation caused by the eruption every seven minutes. and the ground is shaken. but, after a short sojourn on the island you fail to notice 1t. and would be the more shocked if it did not occur."-Wash- ington Post.

: STOLEN" CHICKEN
 FOR RED CANNON
Mccormick Freed of Theft Charge Wanted Bird
 for His Friend

John Mccormick. charged with talk ing 8 chicken from the coop of John Gunderson, was aTraigned in Judge T. D. Burdick's court yesterday afternoon. in a jury trial. The defendant admitted that he visited Gnnderson's coop and got a chicken. but there were "exten- uating circumstance" that caused tAe jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty.
 The trial developed a circumstance that was not already generally known, that is. that the chicken was killed to make chicken soup for Red Gan non.
 The circumstances of the case are these: Mccormick and Cannon are roomers at Gunderson's house and had been rooming there for several years, in fact so long that they were under the impression that they were almost members of the family. GGaderson and family went away recently and during their absence Red became III and was confined to his bed. McCor- mick acted as Reds nurse.
 Wanted Some Chicken.
 Having that nothing tastes good" appetite, as ill folks have, Red craved nothing but chicken soup, so. resting under the impression above stated. he told Mccormick to go out to the chick en coop, slap a yeller leg and make chicken broth of it, which he did.
 When Gunderson came home the first thing he saw was the head of his once-prized chicken and he immed- lately went into a rage. Mccormick and Cannon expostulated with him, all 10 no effect, and offered to buy him a dozen chickens. Gunderson, however, mourning his chicken, swore out a warrant against Mccormick
 During the course of the trial yes terday, the attorney for the defense, Fred Sutter. rendered the court a dol lar and half in payment for the chicken, but il was not accepted. That was where GuRderson lost his chance to recoup, for the jury found that al- though Mccormick took the chicken in question he did not steal it, holding in effect that chicken soup" was what Red Cannon needed most and the end justified the means. All ordinary rules for obtaining chicken broth ma terial were suspended and as an emer- genoy measure the chicken "eoup" was justifiable.
 Cannon nobly shOuldered the re- sponsibility for the rape Of the coop There's a lot of difference between stealing a chicken" and taking a chicken for broth purposes when it is needed to restore one to health. The warrant might lead one to believe that Gunderson's coop had been visit cd in stealth and an inmate abducted or Kidnapped. But as the story turned out on the trial of the case it was a testimonial to McCormick's loyalty and friendship for his friend Cannon

one firm whch is securing additional help.
 Let me impress upon tho con sumer one thing Never buy 25 cents worth or 90 cents worth or any sums worth. Buy by weight or measure. Don't buy 30 cents worth of rice. for instance. but ask the price per pound, and buy two pounds or whatever you require. When the consumer buys by weight or measure, the seller has less lati- tude for fraud, if he is inclined to be interruptions and the consumer can keep a check on him"

The discrepancies iii the scales were found to vary from 1-2 ounce to the pound to eight ounces to the pound, and there was another which varied seven ounces to the pound. In no case was the variance found to favor the customer.
 Some of the scales were found to be old. some had been used only recently. In the old scales an examination showed that the bear ings had become worn, which caus- ed the scales to lack the proper sensitiyeness.
