SOBER DRIVERS oE AUTOS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 14.-One
OF the pleasures of Joy riding" is t.
be taken away in California, which is
much given to things that make life
pleasant, if a statute recently enacted
is upheld 1t provides that any driver
of an automobile who, while intoxicat-
ed, shall be a party to an accident
shall be guilty of a felony and subject
to the severe penalties provided there
for Should the law stand, any driver
of a machine will be afraid to take
even a drink of liquor, which of
course, would be a deprivation to a
majority of those who engage in the
sport
Two test cases have been made I'M
der the law, and the autoists are all
at sea as result In the first one
Superior Judge Bledson of San Bern
ardino declared that the statute was
unconstitutional because of its dis
criminatOry character as between We
hicles. Judge H. u. Austin of Fresno,
however, has taken the opposite view.
In the case of chauffeur who knocked
down a man while alleged to have
been intoxicated, he upholds the law.
He declared that as vehicle an auto
mobile is in a class by itself. A horse,
has instincts to guide it, while a
street car runs on rails in a certain
path, but an automobile depends for
its course entirely on its driver.
The case has gone to the State Su-
preme Court on appeal and decision
is expected before 'ummer.

EVANS AMONG
THE INDIANS

Little Breaches" was a sobriquent
given to two persons one fictitious and
the other real. The first was the hero
of John Hays verse; the second, a
youngster of flesh and blood who, lat
er in life, was none other than the
late Admiral Robley d. Evans Hay
wrote his verses back in Civil War
times, and it was then that Evans was
nicknamed by Washable, a Snake In
dian chief. The Youths Companion,
which quotes from Admiral Evans
book, "a Sailors Log" wonders
whether the poet knew the promising
young naval officer at the time the
verses were written, and whether the
latter's "reminiscences furnished the
name for his hero. The Youths Com
panion summarizes and quotes the
story thus:
Young Evans had been appointed TO
Annapolis by the delegate from Utah,
altho he was a native of Virginia, and
he had to journey to Salt Lake City in
order to qualify himself for his cadet
ship by residence in the new territory.
Washable, Snake Indian chief, met
the party of which Evans was a mem
Der at the ford of the Green River, lie
took a great fancy to the young Vir-
ginian-then hardly fourteen years old
land instantly named him Little
Brooches"
AT the request of Washable the
narrative proceeds, Il was allowed to
go on a ten days visit to his camp. 1t
was agreed that if the party had to
move before my return, my belongings
should be left at the ferry, and that
should finish my journey with some
other party.
IF it had not been for my fear OF
treachery, I should have enjoyed my
experience very much. Washable was
six feet tall-the finestlooking Indian
I have ever saw-and I afterward
learned that he had always been
friendly to the whites, and had served
them on many occasions.
The tribe numbered about a thous-
and persons, and when We camped
their dogs and ponies seemed to cover
the country for miles round. The pom
les were so well trained that a warrior
could step from his wigwam and wills

One of the benefits from the peanut
planting is in tue enriching of the soil
1t has been found that it has much the
same effect as a crop of alfalfa. An
other fact is that the crop will mature
within ninety days with a minimum of
rainfall. In the last dry season in
Oklahoma it was found that the plant
was one of the best of the drought re-
sisters.
One of the results of the expert
ments has been the determination that
the Spanish peanut will flourish in the
high attitudes of the Western plateau.
Under irrigation the plant has been
brought to maturity at Fountain, Col,
at $500 feet and at Manitou at $500
feet. Trials of it are now being made
in northern Colorado in the hope that
it will provide good food for market

Since he left England in January last he had travelled over 53.0o0 miles, the had visited the West Indies. the United States, British Columbia Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania anc South Africa.

 During his travels in South Africa he met several Of the Boer generals, includ- ing General Shuts, who was taking great interest in the Boy Scout move- ment.

The movement was making great headway everywhere, but nowhere more than In Canada. where it vas perhaps better organized than in other colonies. During his tour he had reviewed over 25,0oo British scouts, ard visited over 10 sections.
