TRAGEDY IN COOKERY CLASS
Youngster Who Spoke Out for Beer
as a Luncheon Beverage HorrI-
fled Her Teacher.

A fond parent was fearfully indig-
nant a few days ago because her
small daughter came home from her
cookery class in tears. 1t appears
that the lady who presides over this
branch of instruction asked her pu-
pills to draw up a menu for lunch.
When it came to the beverage item
most little girls declared for tea or
coffee, but one original youngster de-
cided for beer.
CONSERVATION of cook-lady,
shocked reproof for pupil
'Disgusting" announced the
teacher; respectable people never
drink beer" and she held forth elo-
quently upon the vulgarity and in
iquity of such a taste. The poor
little girl was mortified to anguish,
and cried through her tears that they
always drank beer at lunch at her
home-at least mother and father
did.-Los Angeles Times.

AsPHYXlATlNo BULLETS.

Monsieur King, director of the
Paris municipal laboratory, has in
vented a pistol that fires a cartridge,
or small bomb, charged with certain
chemicals. When the cartridge
strikes an object the chemicals imme-
diately vaporize into suffocating
fumes that confuse and overcome
temporarily any person near by. The
pistol is used by policemen and de-
tectives in the capture of desperate
criminals. The physician-in-chief at
one of the largest hospitals in Paris
believes that the new pistol will be
of great value in subduing lunatics,
alcoholics and other dangerous per-
sons; and, indeed, the pistol has al
ready been tried in the case Of such
persons with good results. The
fumes that it discharges are entirely
harmless, but extremely painful, for
they blind the victim, nearly suffo-
cate him and make him think that
he is about to strangle.-Youth''

OLD CONTROVERSY REVIVED.

The old question of whether the
Norsemen beat Christopher Column
bus to the shores of the new world
has been reopened in the London
press by the display in the windows
of the London agency of the Cana
dian Pacific railway of a stone dis
covered at Yarmouth, N. S., 100
years ago, on which is a Morse in
scription. Henry Phillips, Jr., Of
Philadelphia is said to have deci-
phered the inscription as reading,
"Harki's son addressed the men,"
and in ancient writings he discov-
cred the name of Harki as the leader
of an expedition of Norsemen that
left Greenland in the year 1907. The
stone will be exhibited at the cente-
nary exposition in Christiania, Nor
way.

COYOTE PROVED A scRAPPER
Fought -Four Trained Dogs Furiously
in River for More Than
an Hour.

The fighting abilities Of coyotes
we're demonstrated recently when one
fought more than an hour with four
dogs belonging to Asa Ircton,
farmer in the east part Of this
county, says Salina (Km.) dis
patch to the Kansas City Star.
After fighting several minutes the
coyote took to the river. and in water
from six to eight feet deep the battle
waged an hour. The coyote swan
about with only its ears and nose
above the water until attacked by
the dogs, and after fighting as long
as the dogs could fight the coyote
would break away and rest by float
ing. When the dogs had recovered
their wind they would make another
attack, working all the time to get
the coyote out Of the water. They
we're successful two or three times,
but each time the coyote would leap
back into the river.
After an hours work the coyote
was driven away from the river into
the open. There it lasted more than
fifteen minutes against the four
dogs, which have been trained to
work together against coyotes and
bobcats. The dogs were exhausted
as well as badly battered.

END OF TEN YEARS STRUGGLE.

Peace between Great Britain and
France was proclaimed one hundred
years. ago June 2. For ten years the
two nations had been constantly at
war, the struggle ending only with
the overthrow and abdication of the
Emperor Napoleon. England's tri-
umph over her enemy, however, was
dashed by the more doubtful for
tunes of the struggle in America.
But before the close Of the year the
war with the United States was TO
end, at a most opportune time for
England, since it left her hands free
at moment when Napoleon's escape
from Elba and his temperance at
Paris called England and her conti-
mental allies to a new and final
struggle with France.

Captains Statement TO Put Il Mildly,
Was Calculated to Make Nerv-
Gus Man Pensive.

He was an inquisitive old gentle
man, and he wandered about the
deck with freedom that threatened
to bring down on him the wrath of
the observant skipper.
He carried on a one-sided CONVEX
sation with the "man at the wheel"
and the features of the skipper were
not good to look upon.
Then, in the blissful innocence Of
his heart, he actually approached
the captain himself. 1t was inev-
table that there should be some
thing said, but it was the little old
gentleman who proceeded TO take the
first innings.
He told how his great-grandmoth-

Greatest Song Writer.

The immortal quartet of song writ.
ers are Goethe, Heine. Burns and Bers
anger. OF the four Burns is by far
the mos: popular. Goethe was at heart
an "Olympian," and in all things a
critic; Heine was in his deepest soul
pessiAist and cynic; Beranger, while
much more human, was a little bit
too critical; while Burns, democratic
the core and of immense sympathy,
threw himself into a common human
life of the world with a whole heart
and wrote the songs that will live
and be loved while humanity endures.

CHAPTER vi,

II the Eagle Tail mine had been 10
Gated in Arizona-or even farther

| jumping the claim would have been
delightfully."- simple.
The title had lapsed, and the land
had reverted to the governmental
| it needed In Arizona was a new set of
monuments, a location notice at the
discovery shaft, pick and shovel
thrown into the hole, and a few legal
formalites.
But in Mexico 1t is different. Not
that the legal formalities are lacking
far from it-but the whole theory of
mines and mining Is different. In Mex
leo a mining title is, in way, a lease,
a concession from the general gov
eminent giving the concessionnaire
the right to work certain piece of
ground and to hold It as long as he
pays a mining tax of three dollars an
acre pear year.
But no final papers or patents are
ever issued, the possession of the sur
face of the ground does not go with
the right to mine benath 1t, and In GER
tain parts of Mexico no foreigner can
hold title to either mines or land.
A prohibited or frontier zone, eighty
kilometers in width, lies along the in
ternational boundary line, and in that
neutral zone no foreigner can de.
nounce mining claim and no foreign
can acquire title to one.
The Eagle Tail was Just inside the
zone.
But-there is always but" when
you go to a good lawyer-while for
purposes OF war and national safety
foreigners are not allowed to hold land
along the line, they are at perfect lib
