Cause for Alarm.

Smith had just been operated upon
for appendicitis. During his period OF
convalescence he became quite chum-
my with the two other patiepts who
shared the ward with him.
How are you feeling. boys?" said
Smith one morning to them.
"Oh. we are all right" they both an
swered together. considering that we
had to undergo two operations"
"Why. how was that?" questioned
Smith, In an agitated voice.
Because the doctor assigned to this
ward is an idiot. In collecting his in
struments after the operation. he
missed needle and pair Of scissors.
The former he found In me. and the
latter In my friend here on the right.
You see now the reason for the two
operations"
Just then the surgeon put his head
In at the door and asked:

BIG MOUNTAIN THAT MOVES
Remarkable Natural Curiosity That
Has Great Celebrity In State
Of Colorado.

Florence, Colo.--A curiosity In the
way of a moving mountain OF cement
ehale at the quarries Of the Portland
Cement company, six miles east OF
this city, is being closely guarded by
the officials of the plant.
The first intimation the company
had Of the trouble was following
blast recently, which brought down
large amount of rock and before the
mammoth steam shovel could be re-
moved the rear of the boiler room was
demolished, but, fortunately, no one
was injured.
A careful investigation followed. II
was discovered that large crack had
appeared in the top of the mountain
which since that time, has gradually
increased until 1t is now at least twen-
ty feet across and twelve feet deep.
There is fault in the mountain
where the crack first appeared. and
It is from this spot that the mountain
of dirt, rock and trees seems to be
letting go.
1t is estimated when the slide &C.
ours as it will surely do, that 100000
tons will be dislodged. The whole
mass is giving away, and during one
night and up until 4 o'clock the next
afternoon, measurements disclosed the
fact that 1t had moved over a distance
of twelve inches.
While the action is not discernible
to the naked eye 1t is evident that the
mountain is about ready to collapse.
for large cracks are noticeable across
its entire length.
General Manager r. J. Morse ar
rived at the plant from Denver and,
after viewing the phenomenon. made
arrangements to assist nature In its
work. A pipe line was laid to the gap
in the top Of the mountain, and water
is being run in the crevises In four
different places. A number Of holes
have been drilled at various places at
the foot of the moving mass and it is
thought that when these are fired the
collapse will take place.

CORRECT TO SAY "pIscLAws."
Anyway, New Jersey Farmer Devised
Q Scheme Which Resulted In Die
comfiture to the Spoilers Of
His Hen Roosts-

Benjamin Groner, a farmer in the
Birds Eye Hollow neighborhood, just
over the New Jersey line from Gosh
en-, in studying the habits Of hawks
noted that those prowling and snoop
ing birds always perched on the
branch of some tree or on a high
fence or other good point for observa-
tion near a poultry yard and from
there took a comprehensive view Of
the surroundings and their possibili-
ties before swooping down on the con-
tents of the yard. That set Farmer
Groner to thinking, and he thought to
such purpose that 1t resulted in his de-
vising a contrivance which he believed
would be the ruination Of every hawk
that came nosing about his premises.
He had a sythe blade made of the
best steel he could procure. He ground
and whetted the edge of the blade un-
til ii was as keen as keen could be.
blade with bolts tight to a high pole
near the top, edge up, and at an angle
of 45 degrees. The pole he then set
in the ground, few rods from his
poultry yard at the edge of wood lot.
In the afternoon of the day he set
the trap a hawk came sailing along
over the tops Of the trees. Farmer
Groner was in his barn and saw 1t and
watched its manoeuvers.
The big bird circled about few
times and then dropped down on the
outstretched scythe blade, which ap-
peared as q convenient point Of OBJ
servation.
The instant the hawk lit 1t began to
slide down the smooth slant Of the
blade and the razorlike edge sliced it's
claws OF as quickly and as neatly as
a meat cutter slices smoked beef. The
bird fluttercd to the ground, but as
its wings we're still at its command 1t
few away. And 1t has never come
back to Farmer Groner's place again.
Going out to the trap pole and
finding the talons Of the crippled
hawk, Farmer Groner knew that his
pondering over the ways Of hawks
had resulted in q successful demon
stration Of the conclusion he had
come to, and next morning he dis
covered that he had builded even
wiser than he knew, for he found a
couple OF sets of owl toes on the
ground beneath the scythe blade. He
had not calculated on owls, but hold.
Ing to the old fashioned belief that
those nocturnal providers were habi-
stual robbers Of hen roosts. he gloat
ingly accepted the evidence Of the ef
ficacy Of his trap as an owl dis

BIBLE IS CREATE: ST BOOK
Sir arthur @. Couch Id Address al
Cambridge, England, TELLS Of lts
Priceless Literary Value.

Sir Arthur CUTLER Couch, In his ad-
dress on the English Bible at Cam
bridge, rightly laid stress on the
priceless value of the authorized ver-
sion as the greatest book of English
prose. No one will dispute its title to
that pre-eminence. Whas a marvel IL
is that this matchless translation,
with it's noble majesty, its glorious
poetry, its divine simplicity, its &C.
stacy, its pathos, its tenderness. every
chapter instinct with beauty, every
verse ringing like a sweet-toned bell,
should have been produced by forty
seven men, none of them as %" re-
minds us, celebrated, outside their
share in the translation, for any super
lative achievement.
Some persons who set courses OF
study in English literature omit to
take account OF the Bible. It Is an
amazing omission, for the authorized
version has had incomparably more
influence on English literary style and
on our English speech than any other
book, or than all other books put to-
gether. Tame, that discriminating
and sympathetic critic, realized how
the style of the Bible had, so to say.

land, and interviewer itself into the

Steps sounded on the graveled walk
outside. Paul Lane ran to the win
dow. The officer OF the boat was COM
ing toward the house, but alone. There
was no sign of any of his men. The
fog had rolled away and the sea lay
blue under the declining sun. There
was no trace of the battleship. But

away her life upon the rocks, Paul

and the approach of Captain Won Holz-

he stood there until Paul admitted
