The dandelions that bloomed last week are now laid up with chilblains and ton silitis. It is warning to all those who are too previous.
 
 Miss Lillian Russell is to marry again, but Nat Goodwin is not the coming man as he should be. The man is Pittsburg editor
 China dsregarded American precedent by choosing a president who had never been a rough rider nor a secretary of war. street you may feel sure it is the water wagon backing up to the curb. The new president of China is sure enough doctor. He practiced medicine several years in Canton.
  To President Sun of the United States Of China the new year promises to be both busy and scrappy.
  Tn the effort to loosen pr. Wiley from his job some one proposes to run him for Vice President.
  MT. Carnegie does not believe in bor- rowing. Most men in his shoes would agree with him. Chinese statesmen who are founding a republic should not follow Illinois poli- tics too closely. The republic of China will get along all right until the time comes to distrib- ute the offices. If the Chinese republic builds enough schoolhouses it will endure as long as the country does.
 Int new year began firing early in this city so far as its steam whistles were concerned.
 -.s--- The latest new Lillian Russell is an ed- itor. and there is no help for it. He was hoodooed. An awakened republican China is need ed to hold the Russian bear back to Its territory. The young Chinese republic needs 8 little time in which to get it's things on straight.
  China is opposed to child labor and so she has relieved the baby emperor of his job.
 The winter will be ended when the peach crop begins to be killed. Schedule K is about to be marked off the tariff map. No presidential preference primary was held in China.

BEARS IN FIGHT TO DEATH
wyoming Hunter Tells How He
Started Fierce Fight Between
TWO Enormous Grizzlies.

A Wyoming man gives a graphic
account OF a battle to the death be-
tween two bears, which a shot from
uis rine had caused to attack each
other. was out after elk and
discovered the two bears a long way
oil, digging in rotten down timber for
grubs. | dismounted from my pony,
.EG, making a wide detour, came up
sehiad the bears and got within easy
.r2nge without being winded or dis
covered by them. Taking good aim
i. one Of the grizzlies l fired. The
ouAet tumbled him over, but he was
n his feet again almost Immediately.
The other bear had stopped its
Brubbing when this one fell and
turned and stared at it in surprise
Inc wounded bear glared at its COM
panlon moment and then appar-
entity made up its mind that its COM
panion had knocked it down, for it
pitched into that bear with a fierce
aess that plainly meant business, and
instantly a battle was on. The bears
clinched and bit and raked one an
other with their claws. In very
short time their tough hides We're
hanging in strips on their huge bodies
and the bears were drenched with
blood. | never saw nor expect again
to see such a sight. 1t was fearful.
The grizzlies fought for at least ten
minutes, and then the one | had shot
failed to get up after being hurled
to the ground by its antagonist, and
the latter stood over it's PROSTATE foe
and tore him with his paws until 1t
had disemboweled him.
Then the victor, growing and
gnashing its teath, moved away few
steps, staggered like drunken per.
son and fell to the ground. 1t tried
to get up but could not. l crept
cautiously to the spot, fearing that the
bear might still have enough vitality
to make it lively when it discovered
me, but my caution was not called
for. The grizzly was as dead as his
rival. Those two bears were the
most prodigious specimens of theil
kind | had ever seen, but they were
literally torn to pieces. There was
not a whole piece of skin or flesh or
either of them as big as my hat"

He Cannot Foroet,

A musician seated far out on a wind
swept pier at Atlantic City, was tell
ing stories about composers.
DIR. Richard Strauss" he said, wis
tied America before he achieved world
fame, and the sapient, cocll-sure crit
les OF New York were very hard OIL
him. In fact, they were SO hard on
him that DIR. Strauss had not yet
either forgotten or forgiven them. The
wound is still raw. 1t still bleeds."
The musician regarding with, an alb

dives of school of porpoises in the
tumbling water, continued:
Il had the honor last year of attend

beautiful, but very bizarre. In the
middle of it the composer raped his
desk iIhpatiently and called to the

THE bassoon, a bullheaded sort OF
fellow, answered.:

Anecdotes of Aenner,

Nine. Steinheil's extraordinary "Me

anecdote in startling contrast to the
horrors she depicts of the notorious
murder case, prison experience and
trial. She writes of Henner, the cele
brated painter Of milk white auburn
haired beauties unadorned.
Il never knew Henner to be en-
barrassed. But if he was never EN-
barrassed he had embarrassing hab

examining the shoulders and arms Of

Drunken MONKEYS,

According to recent letter from
the Congo region on the west coast OF
Africa, the monkeys there are inor
dinately fond of kind of beer made
by the natives, who use the beverage
to capture their poor relations.
Having placed quantities of the beer
where the monkeys can get it, the ma
tives wait until their victims are in
various degrees of inebriation, and
when they then mingle with them the
poor creatures are too much fuddlod
to recognize the difference between
negro and ape.
When negro takes the hand of one
Of them to lead him off, some other
ford creature clings to the hand of
the latter one, and anpther one to his
hand; thus a single negro may some
times be seen carrying off string of
staggering monkeys.
When secured the beer is admin
istered in decreasing quantities, SO
that they may only gradually awaken
to the sad results of their spree.

PENGUIN OIL INDUSTRY
BIRDS ARE CAPTURED AND BRED
FOR PROFIT.
macqua7ie Island, Between Tssmar'1
and the Antarctic Continent, Js
the Center of Promising
Commercial Enterprise.

What is probably the most southern
industry of the world is being carried
or at Macquarie island, about halfway
between Tasmania and the Antarctic
continent, in capture of penguins for
their oil. Macquarie island belongs
to the state of Tasmania, and has al
area of about $4,000 acres, being about
twenty-five miles long and five miles
wide. The island is leased by the
Tasmania government to Joseph
Hatch, who has established a penguin
oil industry there. Recently meeting
Mr.. Hatch, l obtained the following
particulars from him:
There are probably S0,000,000 pen
gums on the island. SO that the stock
10 be drawn from seems almost limit
less. There are also a large number
CT sea elephants about the shores of
this island. The oil is obtained from
the penguins by boiling the carcasses
in digesters capable of dealing with
500 birds at a time. The tops of the
digesters are fastened down and steam
applied until about twenty-five pounds
pressure is ATTAINED. The steam is
then turned off and water pumped into
the bottoms of the digesters, this
causing the oil to rise, when it is
takken off the top by tap.
The oil is placed in barrels and sold
to binder twine makers in Australia
and New Zealand. There is good
market for all the oil that is produced
here, but the industry has met with
several severe losses through wreck
Of ghinS n tn uicit c1a nd
There is no harbor about the island
SO that vessels have to lie about half
mile off the rocky coast, and all
material has to be conveyed to and
from the shore on RATS formed of
casks. Owing to the roughness of
the open roadstead, it is impossible to
obtain insurance for vessels trading
there.
Macquarie island is about $50 miles
southeast of Hobart. The island is
barren, being covered only with tus-
socky grass. Whaling ships visiting
there introduced rabbits and Maori
hens, which are now quite prolific.
The Mawson Antarctic expedition
from Australia has established a wire
less station there, and daily messages
are now being received at Hobart 1t
was the intention of this expedition to
use Macquarie island as means of
sending messages all the way from
their base at Adele land to Hobart,
but unfortunately the wireless station
established at Adele land has been
unable to communicate with Mac.
| quarie island, owing, it is supposed,
to being too near the magnetic dis.
turbances caused by the proximity
of the south magnetic pole. The
station at Macquarie island, however,
has already proved of considerable
value to shipping in Australian waters
by giving warning of storms coming
| up from the south.-Consul Henry d
Baker, Hobart, Tasmania.
