that the party was here to con-

Secretary Garrison did make
clear the attitude of the present
administration on the matter of a
standing army, however. He said
the government has $4,000 men
in the army now. And he does
not want any more. But he does
want to have the people all over

spirit to the extent that they

so FISHERMEN
CHASED OFF
WATERSHED

Chief Inspector Foss of Green
river watershed chased 80 fish
ermen off Green river yesterday.
The great number of them
caused him to investigate the
reason for the sudden influx of
fishermen and 1t was discovered
that the reason was simply an
other outcropping OF the Seattle
spirit" Seattle authorities had
sent the fishermen up, declaring
the city of Tacoma had no juris-
diction over the watershed and
they could fish all they wanted
to.
They didn't fish.
Furthermore, IL the thing is
continued Tacoma will make an
example of a few Seattle people
that will be convincing.
Foss reports hydrochlorite
plant now repaired and doing
business again, SO IL any stray
germ happens to get into the wa
ter he will be instantly poisoned

Circus Serves
1000 Meals
Each Day

Just 1000 meals are served ev-
cry day in the week in the can
vas hotel on the show grounds of
Ringing Brothers circus. 1t is
not unusual for 5000 pancakes to
be BAKED at single breakfast.
Other edibles disappear in the
same astonishing proportions
The daily expense of maintaining
the commissary department is
over $4,000.
Meals are cooked in all lam
guages. Twenty-nine nations are
represented among the perform
ers. AS each likes his character
istic dishes, there are chefs from
all parts of the world to cater to
all tastes. A corps of eighty
cooks, walters and kAchen help
ers is needed to LOOK after the
comforts of the 1880 employees
when meal times come. The
Ringlings believe in the best of
everything for the tables. The
most humble workmen has the
same bill of fare as the expensive
performers. The best the market
affords is provided. The steward
of the show is A. l.. Webb. He
is a wonder. 1t is no small job
to keep over a thousand men of
all tastes and requirements sat
isfied. That is what Webb does.
His meals are the acme of culin-
airy art. He does all the buying

RAT TERRIER
SAVES CHILD

FAYETTE CITY, Pa, Aug. 5.
-Gyp, little rat terrier, in a
desperate battle with a big cop
perhead snake, saved the life of
little Ethel Herman. years old,
and killed the reptile by breaking
its neck.
The child was playing on the
kitchen floor of the Herman
home when the big copperhead,
measuring nearly four feet,
crawled in the door. Coiling and
throwing its head back, the
snake was about to strike the
child, when little Gyp, seeming
trouble, rushed from the dining
room and like a flash was at the
snakes side.
Gyp, after drawing the copper
head away from the child, gave
battle, and before the snake could
turn the little terrier had a grip
on his neck which snapped the
vertebrae.
