Miss Dorothy Rhoads Has Mar
row Escape While Horse
back Riding in Moline.

Miss Dorothy Rhoads, 1882 Twenty
first street, Rock Island, had narrow
escape from death last night while
horseback riding in Moline. She was
riding on Fourth avenue near Thirty
fourth street when her mount was
struck by a speeding automobile and
she was thrown to the pavement. The
horses leg was broken.
Miss Rhoads was riding west at the
time of the accident and did not see
the approaching machine, which was
going in the same direction. The car
swerved suddenly after striking a
bump, struck the horse glancing
blow and then the driver put on more
speed and continued on his way with
out stopping to see whether the girl
was injured or not. The police are
looking for the driver today.

LIFE IN THE LONG AGO
When Huts Were Homes and Beds
Were ShakedoWns of Straw.

When Huts Were Homes and Beds
Were Shakedowns of Straw.
For centuries the common people of
huts of one room When family in
creased in numbers or wealth another
hut was built beside it, or, rather, a
lean-to was added and then another
and another, as need required.
Sometimes they followed a straight
line. At other times they were built
out from the central hut at various an
giles. The roofs of these huts were
matched An opening was left in the
center for the smoke to escape. The
fire was always built in a hollow in the
center of the room. Beds were made
OF straw. Often they were merely
shGkedowns in the corner. Occasion
ally the straw was held in a little
frame resembling the ribs of a ship.
Houses built by Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They were big
halls, like the Roman atrium, with a
lofty roof matched with slate or wood
shingles. The floor was of hard clay.
In the middle was a great fire of dry
wood The thin, acrid smoke from the
fire escaped through an opening in the
roof directly above the hearth.
Round the fire were long benches,
on which hearthsmen and visitors sat
when not fighting or at work, and talk
ed and drank the hours through. Tbs
tables were long boards on trestles. At
night the floor was strewn with straw,
and. like the less prosperous folk, host
and visitors slept together.-Youth's

CURIOUS MEXICAN TREES
One Whose Fruit is the Counterpart o,
the Green Parrot.

One Whose Fruit is the Counterpart of
the Green Parrot.
Mexico probably has greater range
of remarkable vegetation than any 9TH
er country in the world. The parrot
fruit tree produces an odd shaped fruit,
bearing a close resemblance to green
parakeets. When the parakeet is
frightened it makes a dash for the
parrot tree, where it assumes a posi-
ton which makes it look like the fruit
itself So close is the resemblance
that their enemies, the hawks, occa-
sionally fly by a tree on which a doz-
en- or more of these birds are sitting,
apparently unaware of their presence.
Another remarkable tree is the arbol
de dinamite-dynamite tree-whose
fruit, if kept in a warm place bursts
with considerable force and loud re-
port, scattering its fiat seeds to a sur
prising distance.
One of the most interesting fruits
in Mexico is known as the melon "a
pote. or papaya. 1t contains consid-
cradle pepsin. which reacts against
both acid and alkaline conditions OF
the stomach, and it is said that a diet
which includes papaya precludes dys-
pepsia. Both the fruit and the leaves
possess the singular property os rem
dering tough meat tender. When the
pulp of the fruit is rubbed over piece
of tough meat the juice attacks the
fiber and softens it.-National Geo.
