Of New York. They are his favorite
animals. on foot. Besides raising
quite a number himself at his farm
Deep Wells. at st. James. L. l., he Al
ways displays an interest in pigs
owned by his neighbors.
He insists on them raising pigs.
The pigless folk of st. james hear
from him Cand he uses Just as sharp
language IN his neighborly CONVERSE
ton as he does in writing letters to
rat catchers, etc). and hear from him
often. until they annex a few pork
ers" as a side line. Several denizeAs
of that locale admit they keep few
pigs just to keep peace in the village.
Once a boy did him really good
turn and he desired to show his sp-
probation of the act. OF course the
boy got a pig for his reward. When
the mayor goes for his jaunt through
the countryside he calls on all the
farmers who raise pigs. The others
do not receive visit from him.
Whenever he hears that a pig is I'll,
no matter If 1t is six miles away, he
goes to see that pig. And he usually
prescribes some home remedy for the
animal. He has been known 70 walk
ten miles on the hottest day to visit
an indisposed pig.
When the mayor visits his country
place at the end Of each week during
the summer there is always a group
of villagers on hand to greet him. AS
he goes among them shaking their
hands, instead of acquiring about their
health, he says: How are your
pigs ?"-New York Herald.

It is going to be pretty difficult to

and leaving them fortunes, just be-
cause they were prompt with the ice

The latest instance of the kind
came to light last month, when the
will Of Hanah Dwight Green was of
fered for probate in Albany, N. Y, and
it was found that she had left all her
estate save some personal effects and
jewelry to three bellbOys.
These boys were Edwin J. Greene

Berlin Prohibits Horse Cab.

While in most of the large cities OF
civilized countries the taxicab reigns
practically supreme, Berlin is the first
metropolis to pass law prohibiting
'horse-drawn cabs from carrying fares
within its Jurisdiction. Such an oTdi-
nance was put In force recently and
the few remaining Cables were given
notice of the death of their trade. Pro.
vision was made for the instructing Of
the cabmen as chauffeurs, and $3.50
was given as compensation for their
loss of trade. This gives the taxicab
drivers monopoly, but, as the city
authorities have stringent regulations
covering the tolls and other matters,
no trouble Is expected from that
source. Co-incident with this news
comes the information from London
that the cab situation Is so bad there
that society has been formed for
the relief of INDECENT cab drivers who
are now unable to reap living owing
to the inroads taxicabs have made on
their fares.

The discovery of the bones of a hui
nan giant at EllensBurg is one Of the
most interesting meteorological finds
made in the northwest, according to
{. L. Sharp, chief of the general land
office. Il just returned from Ellens-
burg" said he, where l had opportu-
nity to view the bones unearthed. The
skull, jawbone, thigh and other parts
If the largest skeleton indicated a
nan to my mind of at least eight feet

frame would weigh fully 500 pounds
At least. The head is one of the most
remarkable l ever have studied among
prehistoric skulls. 1t is massive, with
enormous brain space. While the fore
mead slopes down somewhat, not av-
sraging the abrupt eminence of our
present race, the width between the
ears and the deep, well-rounded space
at the back OF the head are convinc-
ing testimony of high intelligence for
primitive man. The cheekbones
are not high, like those of the In
dian, nor has the head any resem-
blance to the Indian skull. | am con-
WINGED that this skull is Of prehis-
toric man who was one of remark

part Of America some time prior to
the Indian control.
1.-THE bones were uncovered fully 20
feet beneath the surface. There is
the usual gravel formation on top,
then the conglomerate, stratum of
shale. and in bed of concrete gravel
beneath the shale were the bones of
the giant and of smaller person.
The shale would indicate tremendous
age, perhaps more than 100000
years, for the deposit in which the
skeleton was found. But this deem
lmpossiblep, and presume that the
bones were put beneath the shale by
means of tunnel perhaps, or some
other system of interment. l cannot
think it possible that human being
of the advanced stage indicated by
this great skull could have existed at
the period when the shale was
formed" -Portland (Ore.) Telegram.

NOT OF THE SUPERNATURAL
German Paper Gives Simple ExpIana-
ton of Circulated Story Con-
corning the Pope.

An extraordinary story about Plus
x. was recently told by a preacher in
one of the churches at Innsbruck. He
said that while the pope was engaged
in prayer he fell into an ecstasy and
rose several feet in the air. Cases of
levitation-the technical word for the
phenomenon-are, of course, recorded
in the lives of many Of the saints. If
a writer In "Das Neue Jahrhundert,"
a journal Of markedly anti-papal ten
denotes, is to be believed, the tale has
very simple explanation. Plus X.
1t appears, was working in his study,
and happened to require book from
a shelf which was beyond his reach.
He climbed on chair to get it. A
servant in an ante-room, from motives
of curiosity, not perhaps unmixed
with piety, happened to look through
the keyhole to see what the pope did
when he was alone. To Ills amaze
ment he saw the white-robed figure Of
the pontiff floating a couple of feet
above the floor. The fact was that
between him and Pi%s x. stood desk
which hid the chair on which the pope
was standing. 1t never occurred to
the servant that so great a person as
the pope would resort to so simple an
expedient to get book. Obviously he
would summon cardinal or a cham
berlain to his aid. Hence he jumped
to the conclusion that he was wit

FEASTING KINGS AND QUEENS
Parisians Find That Their Hospitality
Has Cost Many Millions
of Dollars.

1t is learned from an official report

kings and queens. The expression

mite meaning for Parisians.
Figures show that it cost this city
something more than three million
dollars to be host for the Gar of Rus
STA on his memorable visit which
marked the French-Russian alliance,
but only $4,000 was spent to give the
king of Sweden a good time while in
Paris.
Three times that amount was dis
bursed to entertain King Alfonso on
the visit when an anarchist threw a
bomb at him.
The king of Portugal was compare
lively a cheap guest, costing only
about 100000.
On the king Of Norway $GS,000 was
expended, on the king of Italy $4,000
and on the late king of Denmark $780,
