COON. ADOPTS GUINEA CHICKS

Smoke" pet coon belonging to
Franklin Sauter of Montessin, Pa, has
adopted a brood of young guinea hens
that were Matched in the oven of Mrs.
Sauter's stove recently. Local natural
lists and woodsmen assert that this is
the only. instance on record where a
coon is known to have overcome its
natural instincts to kill all feathered
creatures Several months ago Sau-
ter captured a young coon that had
been pulled down and injured by the
dogs. 1t soon became donesticated
and became a great pet around the
house. Sauter is also breeder of
guinea fowl, which are prone to leaTe
their nests and sit in the field and
woodlands. Missing one several weeks
ago, Sauter traced her to the fields
and secured ten of her eggs, which,
as it proved. were within days time
of incubation. Not having an incuba-
tor, Sauter put the eggs in the oven
of his stove, and when they were
Matched he plsced the chicks in box
behind the stove. He was greatly sur
prised in the morning to find the coon
in the box "mothering' them.

HOW ONE MAY GROW TALL

A mans organs and those of his
bones which are not subjected to pres
sure grow continuously until he is
forty years old; that is to say, the
heart should bscome stronger, the
capacity of the lungs increase, and
the brain should develop steadily
until the fourth decade of life Also
one should wear q larger hat at the
age of forty than at thirty. A man
ceases to gro-s tall, however, a. the
beginning of the third decade, because
after that time the downward pres
sure exerteG by the weight of the
body while in the erect position COM
presses the vertebrae or small bones
in the spine, the discs of cartilage
between them, the pelvis and the
thigh bones, and this pressure over
cOlaes the natural elasticity of the
discs and the growth of these bones.
However, a well-known scientist con-
tends that were man a quadruped,
and therefore freed from the down
ward pressure produced by his
weight upon his spinal column, he
would continue to grow in height for
ten years longer than he does at
present, since it has been found that
bones not subjected to compression
increase up to. the fourth decade.

LONG CHASE AFTER BAD MAN
Bold Horse Thief and Highwayman
VIII Not Trouble Idaho
Any More.

Gooding, Idaho-The horse thief
and stickup man that has been max
ing free with the peace of three coun'
ties was apprehended at Galena, a
ranger station about thirty-five miles
north of Ketchum.
The follow, who was given differ
ent name every time he was asked,
stole a horse and saddle from a barn
at Bliss, rode from there to Camas
prairie and held up saloon. He then
returned to Bliss via the shearing
corrals in the mountains, where he
raised cain generally.
Constable Pinkham of Bliss, MOTTO
ing that he answered the description
of the man wanted, arrested him and
took him to the hotel and phoned for
Sheriff Bliss at Gooding. While phon-
ing, the prisoner walked out and when
pursued took a shot at Pinkham with
his rifle, of which the constable had
neglected to relieve him.
Pinkham abandoned the chase and
nothing was done till Sheriff Bliss took
up the trail. He tracked the man by
means of an oddly shaped horseshoe
and followed him nearly to Gooding,
then north over the Sawtooth Noun
tains and up Willow Creek. The for
est rangers were notified to watch for
the man and horse and when he show
ed up at Galena he was invited to stay
all night.
It was his intention to do SO until a
second ranger appeared on the scene,
but when he attempted to leave the in
vitation was repeated at the point OF
a revolver The sheriff arrived half
an hour later.

Wanted Burden Lifted.

Leonard is only four years old, but
he frequently uses expressions amaz'
ingly mature. The other day, for in
stance, he appealed to a devoted
young aunt to remove from his sphere
of existence the new little baby sis
ter of whom he had become jealous.
The tiny lad was at some pains to
explain that while he didn't want baby
himself, she was so sweet and dear
that plenty of other people would.
But why don't you want to keep
her, Leonardo" asked auntie, divided
between surprise and amusement.
ooh, she's such bother, an NAM
ma has to fuss with her so much, an
she makes me just suffer-" the young
ster gravely explained.
