VERNON IS NOT
VANQUISHED

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
Los ANGELES, Cal.-Fear of
the iron hand of President Baum
and not loss of fighting spirit is
the cause of the long silence of
Happy Hogan, manager of the
Vernon Coast league club, who is
iesentful today of the charge or
fans that his team has made its
fight and is finished"
IF anyone wants to run my
job on my salary and show
what these people call fight let
him try ii and see how much he
has left at the end of the season.
80 use for me to go on the coach
ing line. Every time / do 1t
costs me money. I've paid to
date this season $3.50 In fines. No
chance for fight at all
Nevertheless, Hogan predicted
that Vernon will yet win the 1912
pennant.

old Time London RusTans.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century a number of rufflanly young men of the higher classes-called by Swift ga race of rakes that play the devil about the town every night known as "Mohocks." infested London. sallying out drunk into the streets, car rying short clubs loaded with lead at both ends and perpetrating shame ful cruelties upon peaceable passersby. wantonly wounding and disflguring the men and subjecting all alike to atro- cious insults. Lecky says that ma irons inclosed in barrels were rolled down the steep and stony Snow hill. watchmen were numerically beaten, and their noses were slit. Coaches and chairs were overturned on rubbish heaps, and country gentlemen visiting the theaters had to be accompanied by their armed retainers as if i'll time of war.--Pearson's Weekly.

Work of the Bower Birds.


 There are five different bower birds three in Australia, the regent, the satin and the spotted; one in the Papuan is- lands, the catbird, and one in New Guinea. Their brilliant plumage is golden yellow, glossy black or spotted brown, often with rose tinted collar. Their bowers are in no sense nests, but miniature gardens, adapted for enjoy ment and courtship and set in the eye of the sun. A pavement of equal sized pebbles is arranged, and numberless twigs are thrust firmly between them in two parallel rows, inclined to each other, inclosing an avenue about a yard long and several inches wide. To decorate this arbor gay feathers, ruddy berries, pearly shells, bleached bones. even watches. knives and otf r glitter ing objects are tastefully pla in and around the entrance.

EIephantR Asleep.

A question often raised Tn regard to the African elephant is whether this animal ever rests or not. At first blush it would appear that there could only be one answer to the question. So huge an animal must expend n terrific amount of energy and therefore, as one might reasonably infer, must need more time than smaller animals for rest and reinvigoration. Nevertheless many travellers and some naturalists have asserted that the African elephant in its native state never sleeps or at least never lies down. A correspond ent who has sent photographs from Malek, on the White Nile. says in the communication that accompanies them that the picture represents "herd of female elephants photographed in the bush near Malek, in the Mogalla prov ince of the Anglo Egyptian Sudan. It has been maintained that the African elephant never lies down to rest. Sev- eral may be seen thus sleeping."- Country Life.

F. P. HUNT & CO.,. GREAT BARRINGTOM MASSACHUSETTS,
 
Wreck of the White Ship,

The most famous of all royal ship wrecks is probably that of the White Ship, which gave Rossettt the subject of one of his finest ballads. Henry I. had crossed to France to secure the all legiance of the Norman barons and was returning in triumph. Prince William, the kings favorite son, did not sail aboard his fathers vessel, but followed in the White Ship, commanded by Fitz- Stephen, the royal hereditary pilot. Somewhere in midchannel the White Ship separated from the fleet and went down with all on board, and Henry never smiled again."
 That historically stif1ed smile also gave rise to the ribald verse-it came, one thinks, from some Twainish Amer ican:
 Many a wicked smile he smole,
 And many a wink he wunk,
 But never, never smole again
 After the White Ship sunk.

Literature and Siano.

Booze" as a word connected with taking strong waters, dates back two centuries, and in the spelling 'bouze' may be found at even as remote date as 1300. Fresh" in its signifcatinn af forward, comes from 1903. Some pumpkins" popular slang in bucoiic circles. is of ancient lineage. '''Gab" has been slang for a century. Stag" on the fence between slang and Eng lish, has survived generations. In the Knickerbocker Magazine of 1856 we find, an author telling of "a party of elda bricks who =" are Keeping ID "a small stag party at the end O. the room" ""Squelch" in the seven teenth century was in good use. Of tYo words in vogue to express drunk epness half century ago tight" is much alive, while "whittled" has been dropped. There are no fixed laws to gauge the life of slang or to predict its entrance into the language. Will high brow" for example, find its way into the mouths of grandchildren yet un- born, or will 1t take its place in the ranks of absolute curiosities ?-COllier's Weekly.

A Mediterranean Phsnomsnon.

Mirages are common in many parts of the world, such phenomena being familiar to travellers in the tropics as we'll as in the arctic regions and on deserts just the same as upon the wa ters of lakes, seas and oceans. The most peculiar of the whole list of at mospheric illusions is that species of mirage called the fata morgana, which is peculiar to that portion of the Medi- terranean sea which lies or the coast of Calabria between Italy and Sicily. Exhibitions of the fata morgana are the most fantastic spectacles imagi- nable. If a city is presented to view some of the buildings are seen stand ing in their natural positions, while those adjoining may be standing at every conceivable angle or are com pletely inverted The morgana has been known since before the time of Christ and has always been viewed with awe by superstitious people.

Squirrels as Tree PIantsrs.

Contrary to common belief, the gray squirrels of the United States do not lay up their winter store of nuts in mass, but bury each one separate and apart from the rest, and for this req son they are natures most important chestnut, hickory and walnut tree planters. The nuts are hidden in the ground, often at a conside-able dis tance from one another, and"either by instinct or a remarkable memory the squirrels will penetrate through sev- eral feet of snow when in want of food and seldom if ever fail to find the hidden treasures. They do not need or use the one-tenth part of the provender they have hidden away in the ground, and what they do not con. sume germinates the next spring, and in this way. we get our uniform nut tree forests, which would otherwise grow in clusters under the parent tree where the nuts have fallen. In their burying operations squirrels often cov- CT a large area of ground, seeking the most favorable spots for hiding their food. This accounts for trees spring ing up in the most diverse places.- Harper's Weekly.

Ahnuf TnnannraturN.

The best authorities on the science of meteorology tell us that without the various changes in the temperature there would be a perfect calm at all times in all parts of the globe. A uni form and unvarying barometric pres. sure would everywhere prevail, and there would be no changes of seasons, no evaporation or condensation, no clouds and no rain. In short. without changes of temperature which we sometimes think so uncomfortable the atmosphere would soon become poison. ous, stagnant and incapable of sus- taining human life.

Poisons In the Stomach.

A most curious fact is that all food contains the elements of poison, and in our body poisons are manufactured from these. For instance, meat fish, cheese and milk are composed of hy- drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Take away the last and you have prus- sic acid. We do not manufacture prussic acid, it is true. But in every stomach in the world fermentation goes on just as in a brewery, and the poisonous carbonic acid is made in large quantities. If you breathed a few days output of carbonic acid gas you would inevitably die. Sulphuret- ed hydrogen is one of the most deadly gases known, yet in every stomach 1t fs made at one time or another. In the stomach all food is converted into what we call "peptone," and if a very small quantity of this found its way into the blood 1t would kill as surely as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Judicial Snort.

On a cold October night In 1882 a tall, elderly nnn with white side whiskers and almost ministerial dig nifty hurried noiselessly up to the desk of the Arlington hotel, in Washington. He seemed to be laborlng under in- tense emotion. He caught his breath and asked hoarsely:
 Have you heard the score of the Yale-Harvard gamer
 "Yes, sIr," replied the clerk-"Yale, 6; Harvard. O." ."
 The old mans face became wreathed in smiles. He fairly hugged himself with delight. "Just as predictedv he chuckled. Wont I rub 1t in on Shorty Gray, though?'
 And he danced out of the lobby like a two-year-old.
 He was the late Justice Shiras, and Shorty Gray was his colleague, who had insisted that Harvard would win. Chicago Record Herald.
