MURDERER KILLS SELF
AS POSSE APPROACHES

San Bcrnardino, Cal, March s.
Rather than submit to arrest, which
probably would have meant the gall
lows for him in Arizona. Jesus Garcia
committed suicide late today in the
hills near Ell Gasco, just as a posse
was about to capture him.
Garcia murdered a miner ncar .Jo-
rome, Ariz., in 1904. but his identity
Was not learned until yesterday, when
he attempted to kill a woman with
whom he had been living. When the
police attempted to arrest him ycStcr-
day, Garcia opened fire on them and
escaped in a rain of bullet. He was
not located again until this afternoon
when he took refuge on a hillside.
When the posse approached, Garcia
placed the muzzlc of his revolver in
his mouth and pulled the trigger.

Night Session.

"Thc people of Cascade who accused
me of being a traitor to my constitu-
ents We're the hirelings of the, Amalga-
mated Copper company Thus de-
clared Big joe Kirschwing from the
floor of the house tonight.
The statement was the result of the
| prolonged discussion which the house
entered into over the passage of H.. B.
1872, by ~kirschWing, placing a license
tax on copper, lead and zinc mined in
the state of Montana. The bill was
passed by a vote of 50 to 80.
There were many amendments Of
fercd to the bill, all of which We're
lost. Higgins wanted the tax made
the same in proportion to the tax
aid the state on land. This tax is
~ mills on the dollar. This would
have made the tax on one pound of
copper thirtN-onc one-hundrcdths of a
mill. The bill now provides for a
tax of 212 mills on each pound of re-
fined copper,
Many of the members of the house
took this occasion to. break into the
limelisht. Many good arguments
were made for the bill. Amin
pointed out that the farmer paid
taxes on land all of the time, while
then the ore would be out of the re-
sources of the state He also stated
| that mines were taxed more thar
that tax proposed, in other states.
Cults in talking against the bill
quoted pages of figures. Among
other things he declared that the min
ing companies of the state were now
paying more h there just share of
taxes.
Conner the socialist party, argued
long and well from the socialists
standpoint.
BY the other speakers it was
brought out that the farmer was the
goat at the present time and the
only way to get revenue for the state
and relieve the farmer was to make
the mining companies pay a just share
of the taxes. The farmers almost to
a man said hat they would be. pleased
to pay only the taxes now paid by the
mining companies.
AS usual Silver Bow was jumped
upon n as usual the gauntlet was
taken up and replies made to the
charges and counter charges pre-
ferrcd.
k~irschWing mad a strong argu-
ment for the bill. Among other
things he said that he knew tina the
companies. especially the Amatga-
mated, were getting out of paying
thousands of dollars every year. He
paid compliments to that slick tax
ferret, Charles Swartz." 1.-THE
money he said, in response to a
claim made by Walker, lis not being

LINES ON MAPoLEON'S TOMB
Inscription That Is Not often Seen
Recently Published In an Eng
llsh Magazine.

Much has been written about Ma
poleon. 1t is not often, however, that
one comes across the lines said to
have been inscribed on the great Corsi-
cans tomb in the island of his captlv-
ity. A writer in the English Review
gives them: u was born in Ajaccio,
but destiny, which ordains by its pro-
found decree the lot of man, impelled
me to France aud upon the thousand
shores that traversed held the bal
ance of the world. Now, while my
proud name still survives, second in
comparison to perhaps none other, l
myself am dead, and am but laid be-
meath cold stone on an almost UNI
known shore"
The same writer, quoting from let
ter sent from St. Helena at the time OF
Napoleons death, describes the fu-
neral. and adds: The body was on n
kind of car, and the coffin covered
with a cloak which he wore at Maren-
go, and a cushion with his sword.
The body was deposited first in tin
coffin lined with satin, then a leaden
one. and lastly mahogany, and they

HAD KEEN EYE FOR BUSINESS
Theatrical Manager Was Not Going to
Let Any Money Get Away
From Him.

Soon after the theaters opened a
cowboy came up from the stock yards
and purchased a ticket for matinee
performance. The cowboy was coat
less and when he presented his ticket
at the main door the officer there told
him that it was against the rules to
allow a coatless man to sit in the
parquet. He was referred to the box
office. At the latter place he ex-
planned his predicament and said he
supposed he would have to cash his
ticket and go elsewhere. The mana
ger overheard the conversation and
began an inquiry.
where is your coat?" asked the
manager.
Down to the stock yards" said
the cowboy.
The manager tweedle-tummed for a
moment. The audience was very
small and he hated to see any money
refunded.
step into my Office for moment"
said the manager.
The manager and the cowboy were
gone for a minute. Presently the cow
boy emerged from the private office.
He wore a neat black alpaca coat. He
presented his. ticket at the door and
was promptly admitted.
The manager, who was quite warm,
anyway, had lent the cowboy his own
coat, and saved dollar.-Kansas City

Bismarch's Brutality.

A story of Bismarck's brutality is
told in the biography of George w. F.
Villiers. earl of Clarendon-a story
which testifies to the English diplo-
mats ability. Clarendon's dauChter,
Lady Emily Russell, in 1871 sat at a
party in Berlin beside the despotic Ger
man, when he suddenly said to her:
Never in my life was more glad to
hear of anything than was to hear
of your fathers death" Lady Emily
showed natural feeling at this ex-
traordinary speech, whereupon Bis
marck. pstting her hand. said: "Ach,
dear lady. you must not take 1t like
that What | mean is that II your
father had lived he would have pre-
vented the war"

Liohtnino Buq EXPLAINED.

At last the lightning bug secret has
been laid bare. A scientist has come
forward with an explanation of how
the lowly lightning bug manufactures
its light. He imparts the valuable bit
of information that "luciferase oxi-
dizing on another chemical compound,
called luciferin, produces zymosis Of
which the light is the outcome"
So it is to be seen that the zymosis
is what really causes the light. But
we should like to ask the learned
man who has given us this childishly
simple explanation, what would the
poor bug do If he went out into the
night far from home and suddenly
discovered that he did not have any
zymosis in his tank? And what would
he do if he we're out on a lonely road
and his luciferin went dry and his
luciferase blew up?
A lightning bug cannot be too care
full about these things, for it is often
the little thing that causes the big
gest ccident.-Collier Weekly.

First Government Organ.

The first foreshadowing of a gov
eminent organ arose in Venice, in
1856, when the Notizie Scritte were is
sued by the order of the senate. They
were in manuscript, and, like the Ro-
man Acta Diurna, were posted in pub
lie places.
The right of perusal was not free,
and here comes the beginning Of jour
nalism as a commercial speculation.
Those who wished to read the Notizie
had to pay small coin, called a
"gazetta"; hence the name gazette"

Hsrvests of $4,000, 1000.

Crops this year will add some 3d.
OOO, OO0, 900 to the wealth of the nation.
This sum approximates the largest
total ever realized for products of tho
soil. Corn, although short some 6OO,-
100000 bushels compared with the
yield last year, is worth $2OOOOO,OOO
more than the bumper crop Of 1912.
Wheat, too, has a larger money value
than ever before. The same is true OF
cotton, despite the reduced yield in
the Southeast due to lack Of moisture.
These estimates are based on sta
tistics of the Department of Agricul-
ture, and as that department is noted
for conservatism in estimating yields,
it is not impossible that when final re-
turns are in the total value Of crops
will be upward Of $1O,O00,O00,000.

PEOPLE OF QUEER BELIEFS
Australian Aborlglnes Have Strong
Faith in the Influence Exerted
by Ghosts.

In the minds of most bush peoples
no hard and fast line seems to exist
between the living and the dead.
Ghosts are thought to exercise great
influence over those who still dwell on
earth. At all ceremonies OF import
ance the names of the principal ances-
tors are invoked, and at feasts part
of the food is always laid aside for
them, in such words as the follow
ing:
Listen, my family! Here is the
offering goat, sheep, or cow which
we have killed for him who has died.
Here is your part. 1t is time for us
to eat"
A libatlon is also poured out in
order that the dead may drink with
the living.
By beautiful fancy, any stranger
who dies in a town is buried on the
road by which he entered it, so that
his spirit may easily find the way
back to his home, or at least watch
the road thither and listen for the
coming OF friends.
Among many tribes those objects
most used by the dead man while in
life are broken and laid around his
grave, so that their spirit, set free
by the breaking of their earthly forms,
may be borne by their owner into the
world OF ghosts.-T. Amaury Talbot,
in the Wide World Magazine.

Revival Of pominoes.

No game is too old to be revived,
and it is a recognized fact that most
new" games are really very old
games in newer forms. Just now one
hears that in the various country
houses there is a great craze for
domlnoes--a mild pastime enough
after bridge and poker. One can
spend money over dominoes, however,
as over most things, and quite large
sums are paid for boxes Of dominoes
made of mother-of-pearl or thick ivory
and ebony. Penny points are usually
played, and fives is the form OF game
most often followed.

SETTING the Clock Ahead.

A resolution recently passed by the
Vancouver board Of trade approved a
request for provincial legislation to ad-
vance the standard time in British
Columbia one hour from the first Sun
day in October. 1t was stated that
during the summer months people
slept three hours of daylight, while if
the time is advanced one hour 1t will
add that period to their recreation
time in the evening. 1t is considered
that this can be brought about with
little inconvenience, except to the rail-
roads. and it is thought that on objec-
tion would be raised by these COM
panies.

Ancient SOAP.

There was soap long ago. The deli
cate preparations we now affect are
different from the soap of former
years. but it is probable that some Of
the ingredients, especially the essen
tial oils. which enter largely into the
composition of modern soaps, we're
employed in early times for the same
purpose as they are today. Soap in
the form of vegetable ashes mixed
with grease was in vogue among the
ancient Egyptians. A similar prepare
ton was used by the Hebrews, and
when jeremiah said Though thou
wash thee with nitre and take thee
much SOAP" he referred to "borak,'
procured from the ashes Of the salt
wort and other washing herbs" Bo-
rak is in use among the Arabs to this
day.

CASE OF BEING AT HOME
Simple Reason Why Jaguar and Puma
Reverse Positions In Their Differ
ent Localities.

North of the isthmus Of Panama the
jaguar is boss of the puma. In South
Africa the puma is boss of the jaguar.
The reason for this apparently anom-
ally was found by Lincoln Wilbur
writing in the Scientific American,
from a study of the habits of domestic
cats.
Every one" he says, has noticed
the apologize difldence of a cat in
troduced into the home surroundings
of another, and has doubtless smiled
at the exaggerated moral Importance
of the latter. When the interloper Is
noticeaby the smaller of the two, the
adjustment OF their relative positions
is. of course, along purely physical
lines, while if the opposite is the case
physical values reassert themselves as
soon as the balancing influence OF the
home feeling is weakened by associa-
ton; but when both cats are about
evenly matched in size, strength ana
courage, the moral advantage of pre-
vious possession passes naturally into
settled authority, and so long as they
are together, no matter how friendly
their relations become, they retain
the original mutual attitude of lord
and vassal.
Now, the jaguar's home is in Cen
trail America. When the puma invad-
ed the territory of the jaguar he was
the interloper and the jaguar was at
home. therefore the jaguar remained
the boss. The reverse took place
when the jaguar trespassed upon the
preserves of the puma.

Found Double Eco.

An egg within an egg was found by
telegraph operator, named Morgan,
at Portland, Me-, the other day, when
he was partaking Of his evening
lunch. Morgan opened hard-boiled
egg and, nestled against the yolk, he
found perfectly formed egg about the
size of robins egg. The shell on the
small egg had formed, but whether 1t
contained the usual white and yolk
interior was not found out. as the
small egg is being kept as curiosity.
The surprising feature of the discov-
cry was that the inner egg had a hard
shell, disproving common belief that
the hard shell is formed only when the
egg comes in contact with the air.
