V0YAGER NATIVE OF CORSICA7
Paris Newspaper Claims to Have Proof
That Columbus Was Born In
That Island.

The Eclair of Paris states that II
has received number of documents
tending to prove the Corsican origin
of Columbus.
In the first place, It was only in
1874 that the well-known statue of the
dlscoverer of America was erected in
Genoa, whereas since 1880 there has
been abundant evidence relating to
the Colombo family at Calvi, including
numerous notarial acts and deeds
A street there, called Colombo. for.
meriy was named Del Flo, and 1t is
historical fact that Columbus father
was weaver.
To explain his detestation of the
population Of Calvi the celebrated Cor
sican leader Paoli always used to saw
that 1t was because he had abandoned
his respect for Columbus, and the
ADbe Casanova declares that he fears
no contradiction when he saws that
Napoleon, like Paoli, knew perfectly
we'll the origin of Columbus.
The emperor, when talking to other
Corsicans, habitually used the express
sion the illustrious son of our is
land" when speaking, as he was fond
OF doing, of Columbus.

MUST HAVE BOOKS
IN PERFECT SHAPE
COUNTY CLERKS REQUIRED TO
FURNISH A DAILY BALANCE,
If REQUESTED

Santa Fe, Oct "A verbal opinion
Srendered today by Attorney General
Frank w. Clancy upon request of Sec.
lretary George II. Van Stone of the
/ Chamber of Commerce, may come as
a shock to the 21S county clerks of
thestate and their deputies. 1t is SIM
ply this, that the statute demands
that county clerks must keep COM
plete set of books from which at any
time may be gathered at a glance the
| financial, condition of the county, of
each fund, how much the county owes,
on what it owes, how much in taxes
| the treasurer has taken in each day,
how much hestill owes on the dupli-
cate which must be charged up to him
as soon as the assessor turns over the
books to him; in fact, every detailed
item of expenditure and receipts each
day
There is Section 1869 of the Com
piled Laws of 1897, for instance, that
demands this. There are other actions
indirectly and directly requiring it,
but there are few counties, 1t seems,
where the county clerk conforms with
the law in this respect and fewer coun-
ties still, in which the county clerk
can tell off hand whether the Bate
man act is being compiled with and
what is owing each man, each firm
and what is owing the county. The
fact that the county treasurer must
be charged up with the entire tax
duplicate and is to be credited with
the collections he makes daily or
weekly or monthly, is also news to
many taxpayers and tax collectors.
However, the state authorities are de-
termined to enforce the law to the let
ter in the future. and county clerks
or their deputies had better start to
take a course in bookkeeping.

Butter by the Yard.

In Cambridge, England, butter Is
sold by the yard, not by the pound
The dairymen of that town have for
many years rolled their butter into
lengths, a length being a yard and
weighing one pound. Neatly wrapped
IN strips of clean white cloth. the
cylindrical rolls of butter are packed
IN long, narrow baskets made for the
purpose and so taken to market. The
cambridge butter dealers have, there
lore. no need of weights or scales for
determining the quantity of their
wares Constant practice and an ex-
perienced eye enable them with a.
stroke of the knife to divide the but
ter into halves or quarters with almost
mathematical precision
This yard-long butter finds its chief
purchasers among the people of the
university. 1t appears that this but
ter is peculiarly adapted to the spe-
cial needs of the students in the daily
commons. Cut into conveniently sized
pieces and accompanied by a loaf of
wheaton bread, a stated portion Is sent
every morning to the rooms of the un-
dergraduates for use at breakfast
and tea.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
'lGamed cordition of the mucus lin
ilis Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
flammed condition of the mucous sur

HENS WORK ALL LAID OUT
Average 6lddy Should Lay Six Hun
dred Eggs Before She Retires
Honorably or Otherwise.

There is water a-plenty in a fresh
laid egg. but no more air than there
is in a hammer" said a dealer in
eggs. so long as you can keep air
out of the egg 1t will remain sweet
and fresh, but no one has ever sue
ceeded In keeping It out by fair means
more than six days. The oxygen is
bound to find its way through an egg
shells pores, and the only way to save
that egg then is to eat 1t. It sounds
funny, but the moment you give an
egg fresh air that moment you ruin
its health
"A good, healthy hen-not speaking
of any particular star breed. but Just
hen-does not fulfil her destiny until
she has accomplished 900 eggs-50
dozen. That's what nature has fitted
up the hen to do in the way of just
uncoached and unstimulated egg pro
duction, and she gives the hen eight
years to do 1t in.
The hen divides the so dozen stunt
up among those eight years. Some
years she may not turn out more than
a couple of dozen, but when the eight
years are up she will have managed
her annual output so that the total
has come out all right. Then the hen
has ended her career as an egg pro-
ducer, and too often, If she is in the
hands of thrifty owner, begins an
other career, short and delusive-this
time as the summer boardeS spring
chicken"

ONLY SOFT.NOSE
BULLETS MAY
BE USED
REGULATIONS COVERING DEER
HUNTING ARE ANNOUNCED
BY GAME WARDEN

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct. 2.-The deer
Sc eson has opened and the dove sea-
son has closed.
Iii discussing the deer season, Game
ard Fish Warden T. c. de Baca today
called attention to the law which for
bids the killing of more than one deer
by any one person and that deer must
have horns. This provision concern
ing the antlers is said to be for the
protection of the sportsmen as well as
OF the young deer, as many persons
have been killed by careless hunters
in the past few years. If hunter will
refrain from shooting until he sees
clearly the horns of the animal, it is
believed he will have fairly good op-
pOrtunity to know just what he is
shooting at. Hunters must also re-
frain from using sseel bullets; only
soft nosed bullets, similar to the dunn
dun variety, are permitted This rule
has been laid down because the steel
bullets make clean wounds and the
animals might be wounded and allow
cd to linger in agony for long time.
The dunn dunn bullet is more deadly.
The game warden calls attention to
the advisability of hunters wearing
red sweaters as a protection while
shooting so that they can be seen dis
tnctly by other sportsmen.
Discussing the quest of deer, Page
B. Otero, veteran hunter and former
game warden of New Mexico, declared
tIis morning that moccasins are the
best of footgear for sneaking up on
the willy animals. He declared that |
the deer have such an acute sense of |
hearing that experienced hunters as a |
rule do not even ride a horse, but go |
after their game a-foot, seeking in this
way to surprise the animals. Only a

WHEN THE FLEETS MEET

The war in Europe goes on with pitiless ferocity.
There is but one consolation in it and that is a tragic one.
So exhaustive is it in requirements and so ~frlghtful is the
carnage that is must quickly end. Human nature has its
limitations.
Up to date there has been no meeting of the two.
great fleets. When that comes it will make the contests
on land seem tame by comparison.
The oracle babe Greece look to her wooden walls"
This Themistacles construed as fOrtelling that the
decisive battle must be at sea; Salamis followed and the
Greece from her island stations was master of the world.
There the men fought hand to hand in armOr and the
result followed the superior skill and reckless courage
of the Greeks who cared not for the odds against them.
When the victory was won they poured out Ebations
to their gods and sang such anthems as Miriam chanted
when the Red Sea was passed and Pharaohs hosts his
horses and chariots, were whelmed in the sea.
If this expected battle in the Baltic or North Sea
comes off the ships not the men, will be in armOr. Steam
will be the motive power to propel the ships and electri-
city will load the great guns. There will be also the
torpedo boat and the submarine boat with their deadly
dynamite and the destruction Will be above and under
the astOnished sea.
On the one side the slogan will be "al for Father
land" on the other the shades of Howard and Drake and
Blake and CoIingwood and Nelson-and the others who,
for five centuries have kept the standard of Britain SUI
preme on the sea, will be invoked and the world will shud-
der when the story shall be told. +.
They each will 90 into battle invoking the favor of
the same God and neither will remember that almost two
thousand years ago a standard of peace was upreared;
that the nations which have turned with most devotion to
that standard have been the most blessed and most en-
Iiohtened. that the sOftened splendOr of the modern world
has come from it and that when full enlightment shall
come to the nations, they will beat their swords INTO piow-
shares and learn war no more.
When this war is over the wisdom of the world con-
n formulating it will declare that it was the crime of all the
oros and because of it Europe will be one great house of
