The Pipe of War.

There is hardly country in the world where the pipe is not smoked in one form or another. In many villages of the northwest provinces of India are to be found public hookahs for the use and comfort of travellers. Every one has heard of the North Americans pipe of peace. General Butchers pipe smoking was of a very different char acter. He appointed man to the post of "pipe master" whose duty it was to fill long clay pipe and hand it to the general before every engagement. Butcher would then enjoy few puffs. give back the pipe and gallop into the firing line.

A TRAGIC EXPERIMENT.
How . Husband Tried to Cure His
 Wifes Fear of Pythons.

Vv'S S0' VI Js''~'Ss
 Concerning pythons, the following is a true story: A young lady in England for a long time resisted her lovers entreaties to go out to India with him as his wife. She had horror of the wild animals she believed she might encounter there, especially serpents. At length, however. after he had issued sort of ultimatum. she consented to accompany him. She did not. how ever, leave her fears behind her and lived in constant terror of some day meeting what she so intensely feared. Her husband did his best to laugh her fears away, but without avail. Then he resolved to try more drastic means.
 A huge python was killed in the neighborhood of his bungalow. With out telling his wife anything about it he ordered the reptile to be brought into the drawing room and coiled up as if asleep on the hearth rug. Then he went out and called his wife. telling her to go into the drawing room and that he would join her in few min utes. Soon after he heard dreadful scream That will cure her of her fear of serpents," he smiled to him. self and purposely delayed his entry. When at last he went into the drawing room he saw his wife lying dead on the floor, and coiled around her was another huge python, the mate to the one that lay dead on the hearth rug St. James Gazette.

Mendelssohn Surprised Them.

The church of St. Johns, Waterloo road. has an interesting association with Mendelssohn. The late R. J. Horsley. R.

On reach ing the organ loft Mendelssohn was annoyed to find himself exposed to the full view of the congregation and vented his displeasure in thunderons improvisation which greatly startled the worshipers. used as they were to the "subdued' music then in vogue. Not being ill the secret. they were still further surprised when the music ceased and the eccentric performer sprang up. clapped on bis hat and abruptly left the building.-Westmin Ster Gazette.

MAYOR OF BIRD LAND.
How the Beautiful Lizard Canary Got
 Its Unique Name.

How the Beautiful Lizard Canary Got
 It's Unique Name.
 The lizard canary is one of the most unique varieties in the cage bird world. Its beautiful ground color, so nicely ticked. and pretty little "cap' make it a thing of beauty and joy forever. It is. however, the only variety that moults out its plumage at the end of the first. season. By this it is meant that, although the bird possesses so beautiful coat for the first year, the plumage disappears altogether at the second mOult
 Thus it is a show bird for only one i. e., the tirSt-season, and this is con sidered a drawback to its popularity. On account of it's wearing such gay apparel for one year and then putting it aside the lizard has been aptly term ed mayor of Birdie Land."
 The little story connected with the lizard and a mayor is well worth re- beating. It was at we'll known cage bird show being opened by Sir William Treloar, then lord mayor of London. that this celebrity in a few we'll chosen words likened himself unto the lizard canary, many grand specimens of which were on view at the show The stately robes he then wore were only for season. Such is the case with the lizard.-Boston Herald.

AN INDIAN MARATHON.
Remarkable Speed and Endurance oS
 a Noted Mohave Runner.

Noted Mohave Runner.
 In the early days of Ehrenberg, Ariz., a man was frightfully burned by ker- osene. There was no physician and no drug store in the town, and 50 a noted Mohave runner who lived near by was hastily engaged to run to Fort Yuma, government post directly across the Colorado river from the present town of Yuma.
 The distance from Ehrenberg to Fort Yuma, as the crow flies. is sixty miles. By the shortest trail that the Indian could take it was at least seventy-five miles, and he had to swim the river once each way. The Indian was to get $1O for the trip and $1O addition al if he returned in twenty-four hours. He prepared quickly for the undertak- ing and disappeared down the trail.
 Within twenty-four hours he was back in Ehrenberg, bringing with him the packages of medicine for which he had been sent. Each package bore the labels of the Yuma dispensary. There was no living being along the trail be- tween the two places from whom he could have obtained any assistance whatever. That Indian ran 150 miles i'll less than twenty-four hours over a barren, stony desert, interspersed with deep. dry gulches and ravines. ill and out of which he was forced to climb, and in addition he swan the Colorado river twice.
 When he got his S2O he bought some of his favorite food, crawled into the shelter of some mesquite trees, ate and slept alternately for two days and then reappeared in perfect condition.- From A. NJ. Welles' Reminiscent Ramblings."

MADE THE REPORTER BLUSH.
When the House of Lords Adjourned
 at His Suggestion.

When tho House of Lords Adjourned
 at His Suggestion.
 There is good Fleet street story. says writer in the London Daily Citi- zen, of how a reporter once adjourned the house of lords. He had worked in the gallery of the house of lords for about a quarter of century. and t may be that familiarity had dimmed his sense of reverence. One day there had been a stodgy little debate with a dozen members in the house. and the reporter, with his colleagues perched in the gallery. was thoroughly sick of the whole business. His feelings found outlet in a muttered remark as some noble lord on the cross benches rose to continue the debate.
 "Why don't you move the adjourn; ment?' said the reporter to himself. He said it louder than he intended. and the words reached the noble lord who had just risen. He on his part believed the words to be q private hint addressed to him from the lord chan cellor. and, feeling that he could not disregard the suggestion, he said, My lords, I move the adjournment of the debate."
 Instantly the lord chancellor was on his feet from the woolsack, and their lordships' house rose for the day. Hardened as was the reporter, it is stated that as he went out he was blushing at his achievement.

Treaties.

A treaty is form of disagreement between two countries reduced to lan- guage which enables each of them to crawl out of it. 1t belongs in the same family as the insurance policy except that no one can understand an insurance policy. whereas q treaty reads as though it were perfectly plain until something happens that makes one of the parties to it wish to get out of 1t. Treaties are used for vari- ous purposes-to promote typewriting agencies. lawyers, diplomats and to furnish material for editorial writers to convey the impression that they know something of what they are writing about. The principal use of treaties. however. is to bring on wars. Life,

DIED.

A very sad and unexpected
death occurred this morning at
1880 a. m, when Mrs. Sophia
Lucia Hartmetz passed away to
the Great Beyond at the age of q
years, 8 months and 28 days, of
typhoid fever, from which she
had been i'll for three weeks. Ev-
erything possible was done for
her. The fever breaking, paraly-
sis of the bowels caused by the
fever, being the cause of her
death.
Sophia Lucia Hartmetz was
born and reared in Ellinwood, be-
ing the eldest daughter of Jake
Dresser. Later, with her parents,
brother and sister, moved to Ok
lahoma, and then back to Elm
wood, where she has made her
home until her death. Her moth
er died during her infancy. She
was united in marriage in
1908, to Jacob Hartmetz, at Great
Bend, Kansas. To this union, 3
children, besides her husband, are
left to mourn her death, two girls,
Lucy Lee, aged 4, and Leila May,
age 1872 months, and one boy,
age 3 years, and her father, Jake
Dresser, and one sister, Eva, and
John.
Mrs. Hartmetz was taken sick,
after nursing her little child, Lucy
Lee, who was sick of typhoid fe-
yer, and her illness was brought
on by worry of the child and be-
ing overtaxed, for she was a very
frail little woman.
1t is more than sad, of her be-
ing taken from this world from
her children, when the mothers
care is most needed is Gods will
alone. She was a good mother, a
loving and faithful wife and was
loved by all who knew her.
Funeral services will be held
from St. JoSeph'S Catholic church,
of this city, Rev. Father Emmer-
ich will officiate, and the body
will be laid to rest in the Catholic
cemetery beside her mother.
The family have the deep, sim
cere sympathy of the entire CON-
munity in their hour Of Sorrow.-
Ellinwood Leader.
