CHANCE FOR ECONOMY

issue of our civilization. Many
cases arise from the swarm of
public projects requiring con-
domination of lands for rapidly
growing business demands.
Then there is the lost inheri-
lance, the missing will, the
puerile parent who had the
brains to make a million and
lost his mind when he sat down
to write his will, all contribut-
ing to the general confusion.
There is an increasing number
of prehensile people who are
apparently trying to take some
thing away from other people,
who object to it and ask the
courts to interfere. Romance,
even invades the arid atnos-
phere of the courts and takes
toll of time and money in the
consideration of breaches of
promise to marry.
1t would seem that the prun-
ing knife might be applied to
this latter class Of cases with
profit. Promises to we'd, it ap-
pears are as plenty as black
berries, and it is plain that the
affection of the ardent sutton is
too often diverted after the
contract is made. PICKLE citi-

economy, cease to walk in the
witchery of the moonlight with
susceptible maidens Of uncer-
tain age, the while declaring q
devotion that is so often unful-

Pitchers Tragedy.

Connie Mack, who takes great
pride in developing young pitchers
and then prophesying how they
will show up in action, sent in one
of his finds in an exhibition game
not long ago. The slaughter Of the
young slab artist was pitiful to be-
hold. At the end Of the second in
ming Connie was somewhat peeved.
"What's the matter with You,
son ?" he asked the youngster as
kindly as he could, which was not
remarkably kindly.
I'll don't seem to be able to get
the ball over. the plate" said the
pitcher sadly.
you're mighty right you can't
get it over the plate" observed
Mack, his peeved condition much
aggravated. "And I'll tell you why.
Every time you start it over they
knock it back at you. "-Popular

CURIOUS HERM ISLAND.
A Romantic Fsudal Spot Close to the
English Coast.

A Romantic Fsudai Spot Close to the
English Coast.
A real feudal island, where the
inhabitants are ruled by rigid regu-
lations reminiscent of the middle
ages and where even visitors have
to conform to Spartan ws-such
is the island of Herm, about four
miles from Guernsey.
Herm is only about eight miles
in circumference, but kangaroos
run wild within it's confines, and
the inhabitants are not allowed to
have either guns or dogs.
It is difficult to believe that
Herm is a real island only few
miles from the English coast and
not dream island in the south seas
invented by some fanciful novelist.
It is leased from the British gov
eminent by Prince Butcher, a de-
scendant of the famous Waterloo
Butcher. His residence stands on
the summit Of the island and can
be seen from the sea for miles
around.
There is only one landing place,
and then one can only get ashore
under certain tides. No one is per-
mitted to land without paying .
fee, and people have to give q rea-
son for their visit. s
Visitors are only permitted at
Herm during the summer season
from June to September.
The law in this romantic feudal
island is enforced by the chief boat
man, who holds the Office of con-
stable. As an emblem of Office he
carries a miniature ebony silver
mounted baton. People arrested are
taken to a curious little stone pris-
on near the landing place, shaped
like beehive. Herm has forty in
habitants, all dependents Of the
prince.
The most fascinating feature Of
the island is the herd of kangaroos,
with few rock wallabies, which
leap about the place as if in the
heart of Australia.
A former inhabitant of Herm
put two kangaroos on the island.
The present herd, several hundred
in all, are their decentralization

management estimated that the
total receipts this year will be

The grand total of receipts TAX

management of the affair was
busy tonight receiving congrat-
ulations from every corner of
the county upon the successful
way in which the large crowds

RULES REMAIN INTACT
Football Code Not Materially A.
tered by Committee.
Majority Of Changes Are Technical
and VIII Have But Little Effect
Upon the Game az Played
During the Autumn.

The intercollegiate football rules, as
promulgated by the football rules com.
mittee In New York, show few changes
In the gridiron code for the season of
1913. The majority of the alterations
are technical and will have little effect
upon the game this autumn.
The most important change ia the
rule which permits the kicker to stand
at any distance from the line of scrim-
mage when kicking, instead of at
least five yards in the rear of the
scrimmage line. Under the new regu-
lations, 1t is expected that quick kick
ing from directly behind the forwards
will be a feature of the play during
the coming season Walter Camp, in
outlining the work of the rules com
mittee In connection with the revision
of the playing code, said.
The alteration was brought about
by the fact that the player could not
be returned to the game after he had
once been taken out, except at the be.
ginning of period. 1t often happened
that an unexpected substitution was
necessary in the fourth period. and
there seemed no reason why an excep-
ton should not be made in this case;
but the rules forbade 1t; hence they
were altered this year to read: Play
er may be returned once at the begin
ming of any period, or at any time
during the fourth or last period
"A relic of the old time when the
ball was not always snapped back with
the hands had been eliminated The
rule which read by one quick con-
tinuous motion of the hands or of the
foot, has been shortened by cutting
out the words or the foot
THE rule relating to a forward
pass or kick made from behind the
goal line, together with the rule re-
latlng to dropping back linemen, has
also been rendered clearer by changes
In the wording A specific penalty has
been placed upon advancing beyond
the lines in case of a punt-out, the
penalty now being that the punter's
angle be moved five yards away from
the nearest goal post along the goal
lines. II the punter-out makes a de-
hberate attempt by a feint to draw
the opponents off side the referee is
not to permit him to kick the ball un-
til the opponents have had time to re-
turn behind their restraining line.
I'm the rules regarding the conduct
OF players after a forward pass or
after a kick, insertion of the words
after the pass has been made now
makes it clear that players may In
terfere with one another until the pass
is actually made"

SHIPPING MEERSCHAUM
IN CAR LOAD LOTS FROM GRANT
COUNTY NEW MEXICO.
Reported That only Mine Of the Kind
on Continent Is Being Rapidly
Developed.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Silver City, N. M.-The worlds sup
ply of meerschaum has come for cen.
turtles from one small locality in Asia
Minor. The crude methods in use
there have been thorough and for
years the supply has been gradually
decreasing and the price in conse.
quence increasing This will give some
indication of the Importance of the
meerschaum mines located northeast
of Silver City on the Sapello, which
are the only mines of this kind la
! America.
While there has been more OF less
work done on these mines for years
hy individuals and a considerable
amount of money spent, the work has
been for the most part in the hands
OF inexperienced miners, and the gen.
eral shaping up of the ground, as so
often happens, was neglected. The
result of this method was that much
ore would be available at one timo
and scarcely any at another time. In
other words, there was faulty explor.
ing and lack of system, and the great
change for the better in the camp
within the last year, even by the small
force employed, is due to the systc-
matte and careful way in which the
property as whole has been handled.
The general character of the mineral
lied ground is remarkably we'll adapt
ed for cheap and easy mining, mas.
much as the ground is not heavy and
stands well, yet the irregular appear
ance of the ore and the peculiar shape
of the ore lenses requires the con-
slant attention of the management to
avoid a large amount of unnecessary
expense. The knowledge required can
only be obtained by practical mining
experience, and the policy now being
followed by the present company will
In a short time leave the property In
shape for a continuous large produc-
ton of ore, overcoming the uncertain
ty of ore production as experienced
previously. The result will be to add
another profitable enterprise to the
many already in operation in this dis
trict, and that from a source not here
tofore thought of by mining men and
to which comparatively little atten-
tion has been paid.
While the development of this prop
erty has been going on in very quiet
