An Old Lime Sea SERPENT.

Good Bishop Pontopidan in his cele.
brated Natural History OF Norway
tells the story of boats crew of eight
sailors under a certain Captain De
Ferry who encountered a formidable
looking sea serpent off the Norwegian
coast along the middle of the eight
zenith century The animal, according
to all accounts. was some 600 feet long
or about the size of modern battle
ship. The crew at first endeavored to
entice the monster into the boat, but
the willy beast responded by lashing
the water so furiously with its tail that
one of the seamen was carried out OF
the boat on wave ut least 100 feet
high. which the serpent with the IN
cessant beating Of its tail kept tower
ing rigidly III the air for nearly ten
minutes. Meanwhile the seaman slid
safely down the other side and bach
into the boat Immediately the crew
began an assault upon the monster.
which they maintained with such fury
that the beast turned tail and fed.
According to the captain. he went SO
fast that he Disappeared on the hori-
Zon twenty miles away almost on the
moment that he began the retreat.

The Glastonbury Thorn.

A famous old English tree was the
Glastonbury thorn. According to the
old monkish legend, St Joseph, while
resting, fixed his staff in the earth,
where it Immediately took root and
ever after blossOmed forth on Christ
mas day. Curiously enough, when the
change of style took place no blossom
was seen on the tree until old Christ
mas day came round. The probable
truth is the tree was one brought from
Pa inc by some of the pilgrims. there
being a species of thorn, native of
that country. which blooms at Christ
mas.

ACTIVE
Villa May Have to Revise His
Christmas Prediction. I
IS IN DANGER AT CHIHUAHUA

American Army Officers Wonder il
Federal Strategy Was Not Behind
The Evacuation of Northern Capital
-ojinaga Said to Be InpregnabIe-
Terrazas Is Writing Checks.
Ell PASO, TEXAS The federals
under command OF General Rubio
Navarette, after retaking the City of
Torreon from the rebels, are declared
to be moving north in the direction Of
chihuahua City, Pancho Villas head
quarters.
With most of Villas men beseiging
the federals at Ojinaga, it begins tc
look as if Villa would have to quit
Chihuahua or get trapped.
His announced intention of march
ing to the Mexican capital for Christ
mas dinner in the national palace will
at least be revised. American army
officers are wondering if federal
strategy was not behind the evacua
ton of Chihuahua General Mercado
and his army marched out of the state
capital and let Villa march in without
a fight.
Then Villa sent most of his men
after the federals at Ojinaga and now
the Navarette command is coming
from the south against Chihuahua
from which Villa has taken the ma
jority of his troops and much of his
artillery
From the direction of Nuevo Leon
and COahuilla, another federal COM
mand is said to be marching against
Chihuahua. If the rebel leader re-
calls his men from Ojinaga, the 1000
federals there can march west to
Juarez and cut off his base of supplies
as Juarez could easily be taken by
such a federal force as Mercado now
has with him. If the rebels at Ojinaga
remain there to attack the federals
then Villa is in danger of being driven
back to Juarez, out of chihuahua, by
Navarette and the Coahuila-N uevo
Leon column. The rebel outlook in
chihuahua is less bright than it has
been for q month past.
Think Oiinaga Impreenable.
Ojinaga, which the federals com
nand hold, is said to be almost i'm
pregnable and American officers on
border duty there expressed the opin-
ion that the rebels cannot take it
from the 1000 federaIs now holding il
under Mercado.
Luis Terrazas, Jr., has already been
forced to sign checks on the Banco
Minero, which the Terrazas interests
own, for $250,000 Mexican currency,
as a part Of his ransom money, ac-
Cording to Americans who arrived on
the last refugee train from Chihuahua.
They say that young Terrazas was or
dered by Villa to sign the checks for
amounts ranging from twenty cenFs
tc So. These checks on the Banco
Milero are being placed in circulation
throughout the city as money. When
the Americans left they say Terrazas
was in the chihuahua hospital under
guard and that he was not to be exc
cuted
Villa Robs German Consul.
The refugees say that Villa has
shown every consideration to Ameri-
can Consul Letcher, except to permit
him to send code messages, although
he has not been so considerate of
other foreigners. He confiscated an
automobile and carriage belonging to
German Consul Kueck.

EoUININE ACTORS.
Put on a Wonderful Little Show at

I to its capacity on both shows last

pleased audience that witnessed the

rious stunts. Bristol's pony circus
was all thst was advertised, and q
little bit more.

more than pleased and judging from

ter than they really expected The
I twelve ponies are little be autiss and
V cry well trained, and went through
their work with surprising ease and
dexterity. They made a great APP
pearance in their military drill and
their cleverness won the approval of
the entire audience to a man.
Diamond, the educated horse, has
even more than "horse sense" He
acts with more intelligence than
some human beings. His training
has been perfect and he evidently is
fond of appearing be fore the foot
lights, and tried as hard to please as
any real actor. Diamond is a
beautiful horse and was the subject
of much comment among the Judge ;
of good horse flesh He understands
every word spoken to him and obeys
every command without a minutes
hesitation.
The trick mule afforded many
laughs and his stunt of helping on
with his masters coat is clever, but
the big laugh came when from a
word from Professor Bristol he climbs
into a rocking chair and starts rock
ing. Talk about high kicking it is
habit he never forgot, and he sim
ply can't quit it. He pulled off a
funny stunt that is not in the act.

had been brought down from the barn
Id while Professor Bristol was at
tending to the ponies, Mr.. Mule
caught hold Of Diamonds" bride
and started to walk around the stage

He led the horse around several
times before he was noticed. Profess
sor Bristol explained that he very
often exercised the horse by leading
him around the stage between shows,
and the mule always tagged along.
So, last night he did the stunt him

HARD COAL UP.
Raise is Due to Several Causes, Ia
GLIDING Tax by Mine Operators,
itis Said.

Almost simultaneously with the
news that the tariff bill is passed
taking the tax of 20 cents a ton off
of coal. comes the announcement by
local coal dealers that the price of
hard coal to consumers will be this
year 20 cents above the normal win
ter rate
The advanced rate became effec-
tive the first of this month. The adj
ditional tax of rs cents per ton over
the regular winter rate was placed by
the Baltimore Retail Coal Exchange
only with the geatest reluctance aud
after similar advances had been made
by the coal men Ct Boston and OF her
large cities.
The advance is due to several
causes. A tax of 10 ceuts per ton
has been placed on coal by the mine
operators of Pennsylvania as a result
of the State having placed a tax of
2 liz cents on every ton of coal
mined within its borders. Another
contributing cause is the fact that
during recent years there has been a
steady iucrt ase in the handling and
delivering costs of coal.
The price of labor has advanced,
coal men declare, and all of these in
fluences have forced them TO advaace
the price of anthracite.
