IMAGINARY CRIME WAVE
 CONIBATTED ON CAMPUS

Seattle, Nov. 19-The opening at the meet court at the University of Washington recently found "Yell Duke" Edris invoking the aid of the law in an endeavor to recover certain credits he claimed to have earned in military science and training, and having Lieut.. E. E., McCammon summoned before the bar of justice. It is also found ence by mimicing the real courts of manslaughter.
 But these cases are really no evidence of a wave of crime sweeping over the campus. They simply indicate that the barristers- to-be gre getting down to brass tacks," and obtaining good eXperi- ence by mimicing the real court of the land.

RULE OR RUN

General Pancho villa, the lifelong thief, who is the most formidable person in Mexico, is reported to be op his way toward the City of Mexico, at the head of his army 10 conquer all opposition to the deeds and decrees of the conVen- ton of military chieftains which he completely dominated. It is congeniaI employment, and it is likely to end in making Villa be- yond question the dictator of Mex leo.
 That is, for a short time. It is hardly possible that a man Of such character, with so black 8 career, can long be the real ruler of his counIry' without facing formidable reYolts. He will have to maintain his dictatorship, if he succeeds in establishing 1t, by force of arms Nothing else will suffice.
 The ex-bandit of the Chihuahua hills has no use for any sugges- ton of an agreement which might involve his own retirement 10 private life. He will not listen to any plan which would diminish his power. villa, like Carranza, but in greater degree, is determined to rule Mexico, If he cannot dominate his country he is ready to ruin it.

Youna SandyFs Shre~dness;.

There is a lad in a certain Scot tfsh town who is noted fon' his sarewd- ness. The other day he was sent by his father to g. neighboring public house with the following order:
 Please send to, our house ten doz- en ale
 Now, 1t so happens that one of the publicans faults is a propensity to poke his nose into other peoples busi- ness. and so when he had read the order he could not help circulating;
 "Guid gracious, laddfe, and what ever Is yer fether gaun tae dae wi sac muckre aIe?~
 For a moment Johnnie was puzzled, Knowing that his father wouldn't like him to exactly tell the truth. Then an idea occurred to him and he quietly replied:

At a session of county court in an outlying country, village merchant was prosecuted for arson" It de- veloped that the bustl~ss men of the town had retained special prosecutor" to assist in the case. Tho attorney for the defendant invariably asked each witness if he had ever con- tributed anything toward the support of the special prosecutor" One old man was very jealous In his efforts to convict the defendant The attoF- ney started to ask him the regular "contributfon' question. but the wit ness interrupted him and gave hts answer in the middle of tbs qnestapa, with the following result:

INCUBATOR OF oUEt
ZIG N
Chinese Device Does the Work of Matching, but It's Defects Are
 Easy to Perceive.

Certain of the Chinese in the inte
 rior districts adjacent to Annoy em- | ploy a unique method for matching
 both hens and ducks eggs. Tn this
 connection it may be of interest to
 note that some years ago a missionary living near Annoy suggested to the
 natives that the patent American in-
 cubator might be of great service to
 the local Chinese-only to learn of their own process, which is very eco nomical. Usually a large percentage of the eggs produce live chicks.
 The breeder first takes a quantity of unhusked rice and roasts it. cooling 1t down by flaming or by allowing the wind to blow through until it is luke warm. He then spreads a three-inch layer of the rice in a wooden tub and places about 100 eggs thereon; anoth- CT layer of rice, this second and sub sequent layers being but two inches in thickness, is spread over the eggs. Each tub will have six layers of rico and five layers of eggs, so that there will be 800 eggs in each tub. The rice should be heated once every "A hours, the eggs being taken out at such times. When the eggs are again put fin the rice the bottom layer is placed on top and each of the other layers one row lower down, while the eggs previously in the center of ths tub are placed at the edge. The en- tire tub is covered with a cotton mat tress. The chicks and duckTfngs arc produced in 20 to 30 days.
 One of the great difficulties with this method is the inability to tell just when the eggs will hatch, which of course renders the smothering of the young very possible

Few persons even stop to' cUnSrder when tfiey speak of a man of spirit that they are unwittingly employing the language of the days of Gaien, says the Journal of the American Medical association Yet this is; evt- dertIy the survival of the old doctrine of spirits.

Too Many Lonely Breakfasts.

Lord Tennyson, late in life, said sadly to friend ~p have taken break fast alone for 25 years" This was after his wife became confirmed in- valid and his family was scattered.
 There are men who breakfast alone whose, wives appear very vigorous at 7he bridge table or club meetings or the dance class, and who are, in fact, equal to almost any effort but appear ing in the morning before their hus' bands go to business or their children if there are any-go to school or TO the park.
 An eligible bachelor said the other day, 'I used to dream of pretty face across the coffee pot, but a dozen years in a smart apartment hotel have dispelled several illusions. To begin with. I hardly know married man there who wouldn't like to keep house. but their wives won't take the trouble. Why, know two dozen women who never get up to break fastA"-New York Times.

 creatures steal out on the floor oi the room in which she was keepins her lotssly vfsiE, and, though kRs' attack was not or her, but on the crumbs or her MncheCS, she promptly fa1nted. On rasovery she rushed into theteioset, where she was imprisoned till morn ing by the spring catch on the hastily slammed door
 Yet this young woman, like all eth CTS. knows that mice are perfectly harmless; that they never did hurt anybody and never will,
 The wicked suggestion has been made that feminine outcrfes on the appearance Of mice are a mere fash ion or habit, inveterate' now, but origt- iiatfmg in nothing better than desire uo show an interesting sensftfveness and Humidity and to give rescEing man chance to show his superiority.
