 Horse Claimed by Owner.
 Sherlock Holmes did not unraye1 the mystery, but it Is unrayeled just the same-that mystery about the "mys- tery' horse-and this morning the an- i1nal is back eating hay in her own little stall. No one stole her, no one even abducted her. They just took her away and left her at a blacksmith shop and then proceeded to forget all about her. This happened last Friday morning. Friday night, after waiting for the stranger who brought her in to come and claim her, they took the mare down to Joys stable and left her for safe keeping. Up to Tuesday no trace of the owner could be found and an appeal to the police to help was made.
 Then came the newspapermen, and wide publicity was given the story. Still no owner and no trace of one. Nothing doing all day Wednesday, Thursday morning at clock the plot began to thicken, however. M. R. Joy. owner of the stable where the mystery horse has been kept. was awakened b. the ringing of his telephone and, an sWering, he listened to a man down in Arctic, R. l., telling him that the horse in question had been stolen from the Rhode Island town last spring. In describing the mare the Rhode Islander said she was black and he was not at all feaZed when informed that the horse here was a bay, explaining that horses are apt to change color from the summer to winter He was coming up to get the horse, so he said.
 The man who invented the phrase Gan you beat it 2" should. have been around late Thursday afternoon, though, when the whole difficult prob lem of establishing the ownership of the horse worked itself out, like water running through a sieve. It developed at that time that the horse is owned right here in Putnam one of several horses kept by an owner who has use for them. This horse was taken out to be shod Friday morning, but in some unaccountabIe way was not missed until Thursday afternoon. as it had not been needed for service, as it happened. The mare was taken back home and everybody is happy.

HUNTING DEER WITH DOGS
Attorney General Tanner Differs With
Judge Claypool, and Says It Is
Punishable Offense

OLYMPIA, Nov. 27-That hunting
deer with dogs is an offense punish
able under the provisions of the penal
or criminal code adopted in 1909,
is the ruling made by w. V. Tanner,
attorney general, in an opinion to
the prosecuting attorney of Snohom-
ish county. This ruling is directly
opposite to the holding of Judge c. E.
Claypool of the Thurston and Mason
county superior courts. who in a case
before him at Sheltn declared that
the failure of the game code to pro-
vide a penalty for bounding deer
made it an offense for which no pen
atty had been provided. Therefore,
an offender could not be punished.
The opinion points out that the game
code makes the bounding of deer a
gross misdemeanor," and that the
penal code provides that when a per-
son is convicted of a gross misde-
for which no punishment is
prescribed in any statute in force at
the time of conviction and sentence,
shall be punished by Imprisonment
in the county Jail for not more than
one year. or by a fine of not more
than $1,000, or both. The opinion
concludes that bounding deer with
dogs is punishable offense."

Gold land Lawful Money"

The intangibility of Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan's financial heresy in
the currency bill has caused much
painstaking effort on the part of
statesmen convinced that hes in 1t
somewhere" and unable to find the
spot. The likeliest looking thumb
mark was the provision that the new
notes be redeemable in gold and
lawful money" A Senate coalition
of Republicans and Democrats has
voted the elimination of the land
lawful money"
When Aldrich included the same
provision in his currency bill it was
not alarming, the orthodoxy of his
thought being unquestioned in the
quarters where Mr.. Bryan is most
suspected. In a Democratic bill the
identical provision becomes evidence
of Bryanic heresy.

are the principal sources of the pros
perity of the city and in which many
of the boys will be engaged when
they finish their education.
The Juvenile club" of the board
of trade is open to other boys between
IA and 81 years of age, as well as
high school boys. A requisite OF
membership is that the boys shall be
able to recite from memory the old
Athenian oath, whcih impresses upon
the mind the importance of civic OBJ
legations, the oath being as follows
I'VE will never bring disgrace to
this, our city, by any act of dishOn-
esty or cowardice, nor ever desert
our suffering comrades in the ranks.
We will fight for the ideals and sa
cred things of the city, both alone
and with many. We will revere and
obey the city's laws and do our best
to incite like respect and reverence
in those above us who are prone to
annul or to set them at naught. We
will strive increasingly to quicken the
public sense of civic duty. Thus, in
all these ways, we will transmit this
city not less, but greater, better and
more beautiful than it was trans
mitted to u.s.

Grange Upholds Mexican Policy

In it's message to President Will
son, expressing unqualified approval
Of his course as to Mexico, the ma

Of the whole body of farmers, within
and outside the order The national
body is made up of the masters and
delegates from all the states, and that
the meeting just closed at Manches-
ter, N. H., actually had representa-
tives from all sections of the nation
is shown in the vote on a resolution
as to Secretary Houston, in which
thirty states shared. The convention
was little given to formalities and it's
resolutions were subjected to sharp
debate-all but this one addressed to
the President, which was supported
without dissenting voice. The con-
clusion is clear that the farmers of
the country uphold the President in
policy that has little suited some
Of the persons financially interested
in Mexico.
II any other body of men with
common interest should hold con-
vention at this time, representing in
it's membership all parts of the coun.
try, it could hardly express itself
differently from the grange. This
much may be assumed the more con-
fidently after the grange utterance,
and the assumption has it's positive
support in the attitude of the press
the country over. In scattered cleo
tions early in the month the voters
had an opportunity to express their
disapproval of the policy of the ad-
ministration then most under discus
sion, but they nowhere so used it.
The approving attitude of the ma
tion toward the Wilson policy in
Mexico is the more striking because
that policy is not declared in definite
terms. 1t is known that the attempt
Of a dictator to hold control is dis
approved, but beyond that during the
time when the expressions of conf
dence have been continuous and unan
imous, there has been no knowledge
Of the intentions of the President
Approval, under limitations of knowl-
edge like these. resolves itself into
an expression of personal confidence.
The people support Mr.. Wilson in
the belief that the restraint from for
chile Intervention and the firm hold
ing to a defense of orderly govern
ment will be continued in the dealing
with every situation that may be de-
veloped by the conflict. 1t means
that the American people are for the
neighborliness that stands ready to
help in restoring order but are not
to be called into domestic quarrel as

disturbed household. Sci

\ Southern Experiment in Education

Winston Salem, manufacturing
city of North Carolina, is experiment
ing with a noteworthy plan of train
ing boys for citizenship. The plan
includes cooperation between the
public schools and the local board of
trade, the establishment of depart
ment of government, and economics
in the city high school, and the for
nation of Juvenile club" of the
board of trade. The primary aim is
to teach boys to know their city SO
that when they become voters they
can act intelligently and effectively.
The secretary of the board of trade
volunteered to conduct the course in
government and economics in the
high school in 1912. This course was
open to senior students. While he
taught the theory of government, he
utilized the opportunity to apply prin-
ciples to local conditions, so the high
school boys. through cooperation of
the board of trade, were engaged in
an industrial survey of WinstOn-Sa-
lem. They found what was manufac-
tured, approximately the capital in
vested, the number of workingmen
employed the wages paid and the
annual output and value of manufac-
tured products. The boys found thai
more than 10000 persons were EN-
pIoyed and that wages for year to-
tailed about $4,500.000.
Perhaps the reports made by the
boys had no great value in them
selves. The chief value arose from
the study of local industries. This
