A popular drayman who delivered
same kitchen furniture at the home of
IN Audubon society lady the fore part
e the week, accidently came in con.
tract with q red hot stove. Quicker
than fash he recalled the saying of
Phineus, of Uncle Tom Cabin fame,
HE who sitteth on a red hot stove,
verify he shall rise again." and made
his escape with nothing more serious
than a searching.

An Audubon man has a couple of
hounds and also wolf. The three are
housed in the same building and when
he takes the hounds out to trail the
wolf, all three run away in innocent
glee, leaving the trainer to devise some
other means of encouraging the hounds
to attack the wolf. Some of his neigh
bors have been mean enough to sug-
gest that he keep the dogs and the
wolf in separate buildings.

A young fellow who got off the North

Q friend whom he had not seen for
several months. He had a dinky little
cap on one side of his head and pill

Lions Heads on Fountains.

Most of the things that are GUS
tomary with us had some good reason
for their origin, though we ire apt
to accept them and not inquire what
that origin was. The water in a
great many public fountains, whether
for man or beast. comes out of a
lions head. Did you ever stop to think
why lions head should be chosen in
preference to any other design?
This is said to be the reason:
Among the ancient Egyptians the ris-
i.g of the waters of the River Nile
was the most important event of the
year, as 1t meant life and prosperity
to the whole nation.
This rising of the waters always
took place when the sun was IL the
constellation OF Leo, or the lion. So
they adopted the shape of lion as
the symbol for the lifegiving waters OF
the Nile, and all their fountains we're
carved with lions head. The Greeks
and Romans copied this symbol, and so
1t has come down to us.-Tit-Bits.

tries which state monopolies entailed
The rock on which the Casino is built was for
merly called by the Monagasques, or natives the
plain OF the Robbers" and here the system OF
plunder is still carried on though in manner
more consistent with modern ideas.
When first built the Casino contained none of
the art treasures. the mirrors. and the gliding
that ornament the building OF today and consist
ed solely OF the atrium gambling room. and q
reading room. In order to people this arid des-
ert. those employed to exploit the Casino actually
offered free land to anyone who would build
villas or hotels thereon but the offer refused;
and the land once to be had for nothing is to-
day of priceless value The gambling and
cert rooms of the Casino marvels of profuse
decoration, and the concert room is remarkable
for its painted ceiling, which is the work of four
celebrated painters.
Access is easily obtained to the gambling sa
looms. All you have to do is to present your

you the necessary permit which passes you

through with every time you enter. There are
now twelve roulette tables in full swing and

Everyone has heard of the game of roulette
which consists OF the spinning of a wheel In
tray and the sending Of n white marble ball in
the opposite direction. The tray is numbered
to 80 and 0, and the winning number is that In
which the ball finally rests. II you back the win
ming number you receive thirty-ave times your
stake. Or you can back two numbers, and II one
turns up you receive seventeen times your stake,
and SO on. The smallest coin you can put down
is fve francs. the limit being $1,000
Obviously, the chances thirty-six to

Charles Snyder, head keeper of the
Bronx Geological Park. is broken
hearted, for his famous one-legged
chicken Is dead, relates the New York
Times. The chicken was broken
hearted. too, but the ailment was the
genuine article. for it was scared to
death. Charles. a rattlesnake. is ac-
cused of the crime.
The chicken had been the chief talk
of the park for some time, because it
was born with only one leg. Although
of the conventional Plymouth Rock
variety, the youngster made its ap-
pearance on Keeper Snyder's farm at
Scarsdale about two months ago. with
only half the regulation underpinning.
Snyder took his pet to the park to
exhibit 1t to Curator Ditmars. The
place of exhibition. however. was bad
ly chosen, for it was the reptile house.
The sight of the chicken proved too
much for Charles. who set up a Wig
orous rattling and. attempted to
strike. Other snakes Joined in. until
the chicken. fascinated and then
frightened. dropped dead in its track
(singular).
Jealousy on the part OF the snakes
because of the superior number Of
legs possessed by the fowl is given
by Keeper Snyder as the reason for
the snakes behavior.

to him and keep him in order. says

was long. and presently he began to

To Inspect Schools.

Tuesday night the board will leave
in a body on hurried trip of in
spection to the state institutions in
the southern part of the state-the
normal school at Albion, the academy
at Pocatello, the school for the deaf
ana blind at Gooding and the state
industrial school at St. Anthony. It
is the present intention to spend but
little time at each institution Miss
Shepherd may accompany the other
members on this trip.
It is the intention of the board to
defer visiting the schools of north
idaho until the meeting in June. Mr.,
Rossi and Mr. Evans of Grangeville
visited the University of Idaho be-
fore coming down and expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the conditions they found there.
This institution will be visited again
in June by the entire board.
Just now the members of the board
seem to be more exercised over the
selection of a commissioner of ed
ucation for the entire state and a
president for the University of Idaho
than over any other matters before
them. They all realize fully the i'm

introduced in the house of commons
March 26 by the home Sec, Reg
inald McKenna, came up for discus
sion in the house Monday. Secretary
McKenna appealed for urgent action
because, pending the passage of the
bill, he felt it his duty to continue
forcible feeding which he was desir-
GUS to avoid. At the same time he
refused to accept an amendment pro-
hibiting forcible feeding for the rea-
son that he wished to retain power
to resort to this method when in his
opinion the release of a hunger
striker might endanger public inter,
ests.
The bill provides for the temporary
discharge of prisoners, whose deten-
ton is undesirable on account of
their condition Of health. Prisoners
discharged in this way would have
to return to prison on the expiration
of the period stated in their order of
release, or would be liable to arrest
without a warrant.
Numerous amendments were pro-
posed, but all were rejected or with
drawn, and after several hours dis
cussion Home Secretary McKenna
applied closure and strong protests
and the first clause was adopted by
vote of 208 to 80. ''.~'
The remaining clauses were then
adopted and the bill passed through
committee unamended.

ton, will have to serve their five-year
sentences in the penitentiary at Fort

doned by the presidents order.
After sentence was passed upon

to the circuit court of appeals and
then to the supreme court of the Uni

ever, has just refused to take juris-
diction in the case and the men, now
out on $500 bonds, will have to

The case involves the testimony of
Clarence Robnett, who turned states
evidence and whose confession was
severely scored by Judge Dietrich in
other cases before him. The bankers
were convicted on the charge Of
making false reports to the compt-
