A we'll known Liverpool solicitor
was questioning a police officer recent
" as to the condition of horse. do
you really mean to say" pressed the
advocate il his best cross-examining
style, that the animal had Shore
solders--I mean to say sore soldiers
i mean" Still there was some
thing wrong, and the solicitor paused
a moment to regain his oratorical bal
ance, while the witness wondered du-
biously whether it was a conundrum
or a trap. Steadying himself for a
third attempt, and celebrating over
every syllable, the advocate asked
whether the horse really had sore
shoulders, and then expanded into q
smile of triumph When the familiar
tongue-twister about Peter and his
peppercorn becomes stale, suggests
the Liverpool Post, here is another
one: Say sore shoulders a dozen
times rapidly without mistake

Friendly Fish.

A curious instance of the familiarity
of fishes with human beings has been
observed in Portland. Ore, at the Uni
ted States barge office. The official
boat is kept at the end OF the wharf.
Some time ago one OF the boatmen
began TO notice fish about eight
inches long. and resembling a carp
that seemed to wish to scrape acquain-
tance The fish would come up to the
top of the water whenever the man ap-
peared. and did not seem To be at all
afraid. After a time all the men got to
know the fish: and began to take
friends to see him At first he might
not be In sight, but he would very
soon appear and frisk around near the
surface. Once or twice he has come
so close as to rub his nose against
the boatman's hand. and the men are
waiting further developments.

Nutmeu Poison.

A German medical journal, the
Munich Medizinische Wochenschrift,
gives a curious story OF two cases OF
poisoning from nutmeg, an article IN
daily use in food and drink. Two SER
want girls partook of a mixture made
up of two ground nutmegs, small
quantity OF powdered cinnamon and
half a liter, about one pint. OF hot
wine. One girl drank the greater part
the other but a small portion. Both
were taken to the hospital uncon'
scious. The one who drank the great
er part remained in a stupor for three
DAYS and it was not until the fifth day
that she recovered her senses. Ihe
other. who like the first developed
failure of memory, vertigo and SOM
nolence, was not so long in recovery.
Nutmeg contains an ETHEREAL oil that
is a recognized poison.

A COW was so exceedingly Gisorderly,

Leopard at Large in Mountains.

A full grown leopard on its way
from Germany to a menagerie in Italy
escaped from the train at Lecco, on
the Swiss-Italian frontier and took to
the mountains. Italian gendarmes and
several sportsmen armed with rifles
and assisted by dogs climbed through
a forest without finding any trace of
the leopard, which seems to have
taken refuge on the higher slopes of
the neighboring mountains, and will
be a menace to the woodcutters when

Rich Russia.

OF all the nations involved in this
European war, Russia is the only in
dependent one. She has gold mines in
Siberia and not a pennyweight OF
that gold ever gets out of Russia.
Russia doesn't have to borrow mon
ey for her war. The gold is all in
the gold vaults of the empire. She
is not the only nation of Europe that
does not. Furthermore, Russia has
food for her great army. She is the
only nation that has. That is to say,
she has claimed that she has the
money and has the wheat. The war
will test the truth of her claims

ALLIES REPU[SE
THE GERMANS
Continued from Page One)

nounced last night that the Germans
were retreating from the line OF
Nanteuil-Le- Hardouni to Verdun after
vigorous action with French and
British troops.
An earlier official statement given
out in Paris said that general ac-
ton had started on the line from
Nanteuil-Le-Hardou to Verdun, a
distance of 120 miles. it was then
said that thanks to the vigorous ac-
tion of the French troops, supported
by the British, the Germans had
started retiring" Unofficial advices
from Berlin also have indicated that
a battle of tremendous importance
was being fought in the territory de
scribed. 1t is estimated that mil
lion men were engaged today
The following official communica-
ton was issued at 11:29 last night:
Il The allies have advanced their
left wing without energetic opposi-
tion from the enemy.
"2. The situation is unchanged on
our center. In the region of Verdun
our forces alternately advancing and
retiring. There have been some
partial successes on our right in the
Vosges
"3. The advancing troops and the
allies defending Paris have had sey-
eral combates on the Owcq river with
the results in favor Of the allies.
81. The minister of war has tele-
graphed to the governor of Maubeuge,
expressing the governments admira-
ton for the heroic defense and say
ing: You stop at nothing to prolons
the resistance until the hour of your
deliyerance, which | hope will be
soon
"The commander in chief has plac
ed the name of the governor of Mau
beuge in the order of the day for

"Plans Steadily Carried Out"

plans steadily Carrleo Out'
London, Sept. S.-The official bu-
reau says:
Gen. Joffre's plans are being
steadily carried out The allied for.
ces, acting on the offensive, have
been successful in checking and fore
ing back in a northeast direction the
German forces opposed to them
The news contained in the French
official communication that the Ger
mans had fallen back before the Wig
orous advance by the allied troops
on the line from Standardization
douin to Nerdun indicates that the
Anglo-F'rench forces have got on the
flank of the German right wing
which passed by Paris north and was
marching eastward to Join with the
Crown Princes army coming south.
1t has been suggested by military
experts that Gen. Won Kluck's move
ment to the southeast was taken as
a matter of precauton before the
movement by the allies from the
coast. 1t is possible this new army
has reached Nanteuil-Le Haudouin,
thus getting on Gen. Won Kluck's
flank. The engagement took place
Sunday and that evening the Ger
mans began their retirement

MINERS FORBIDDEN TO
USE DEADLY EXPLOSIVES
Department of Interior Bans Deadly
Black Powder in Oklahoma
Coal Fields.

The Department of the Interior. at the
suggestion Of Joseph A. Holmes, Director
Of the United States Bureau Of Mines,
has just issued a drastic order to the
owners and operators of coal mines on
leased Indian lands in Oklahoma, that
after August I, none but permissible ex-
plosives" which have passed the safety
requirements Of the Bureau of Mines be
Used In any of the mines while the men
are working.
The owners of the mines are permitted
to use the deadly black powder. which is
the cause of SO many explosions, pro-
vidiHg the shots are prepared by special
firers using an electric system from with
out the mine after all of the men have
Withdrawn from the mine.
This regulation, promulgated through
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is
said to be the result of the persistence
OF operators in using the black powder
In dangerous mines and the large num-
Der Of explosions that have followed. Sta
tistics show that in ten years time with
yearly employment Of $500 men in the
State, 4Ss have been killed, or an average
Of 81 deaths in every 1000 men employed.
