Police Court

Judge Null, of the municipal police
court, recently had a case before him
which shows one OF the many miSer-
effects of capitalism. A married man
55 years of age, living in West Hunt
ington, was arrested for stealing three
bushels of coal. Upon inquiry it was
learned that this man had job and
was working for the magnificent sum
OF soc day. And the currency and
tariff bills have passed! A man with
a family getting soc day. He should
have stolen a coal yard and then ad-
mirina capitalists would have nom-
mated him for Congress. Judge Null
turned him loose.

Three Aoes of Crime.

There are three ages of criminals said Lecoq. the detective.
 The first age. from seventeen to thirty, is the daring and desperate one. Highway robbery, bludgeonings and hold-ups. murder for few dollars this is the worst age, cruel, wicked and supremely foolish age.
 The second age, from thirty to for. ty-five, is the cautious middle one. Burglaries that are safe and easy, for gerry, counterfeiting-in a word. crimes demanding neither violence nor pluck that Is the second age.
 "The third age, from forty-hve to seventy, is the executive one. The criminal is now gang leader. He does not act himself. but he plans and con mands crimes of magnitude, train rob berries. bank robberies, kidnapings and the like"

In Montana the flocks face the heavy snowfalls with equanimity as long as dry place is provided for them at night and though the heat in the Southwest frequently makes it neces- sary to shear twice a year in order to prevent shedding it does not other wise affect the health of the focNs. ] Dampness, however, is more jar ious than either cold or heat nigh land is the native home of all goats and they invariably seek it when left to themselves. Pure water is also an essential
 Otherwise the Angora is not partic- ular. It will feed with cattle and sheep, and, though in some danger of being kicked, with horses also. As a matter of fact, however, the goat pre- fets a certain amount of rough pas ture and is particularly happy when cleaning up brush land. There is one instance of flock of 600 being allow ed free grazing in California forest reserve in order to keep the strips of cleared land, known as fire breaks, free from weeds and vegetation. Set tiers in the Northwest find the An gora most serviceable in browsing off the brush on their new lands, and one interurban railway company purchas- ed a flock to keep it's right of way clear and attractive. On very rough land the danger of injury to fleece must, however, be kept in mind.
 As has already been said, the An gora can be bred sufficiently pure for practical purposes from the stock already in this country and there is no need of further importations for breeding purposes. Some years ago, however this was not believed to be the case and in 1881 the Sultan of Turkey endeavored to preserve for his dominions the monopoly of the mohair trade by prohibiting the eXportation of the live animal. His example was followed by South Africa, but it was too late. Some of the best blood was already in America and to-day other countries are buying of us, flocks hay ing been shipped recently to Brazil and the Argentine.
 Various associations have already been formed for the development of the industry in this country and the quantity of the annual product is in creasing rapidly. In 1913 it is esti- mated that 5,000,000 pounds of mo hair were grown in the United States. Fuller details of the management and care of hocks are to be found in Farmers Bulletin 573, "The Angora Goat" which will be sent free on ap- plication to the Department of Agri- culture.

Imaginary Heart Trouble

Do you have pains in the region of the heart? Does your heart thump? Its terrible pounding alarms you? What is wrong? Do you believe these symptoms mean heart trouble? Or ganic diseases of the heart very sel- dom occasion much pain. Nearly all of these pains are caused by some de- engagement of the stomach.

Having received a primary educa-

BOXERS. DOING TOO MUCH

and war horse" started the fashion
some months ago when he mingled in
about three bouts each and every

loudly at the gameness of the bat
tier. Other fighters, seeing it was
fine little publicity stunt-and Incl
dentally a money getter, followed suit.
For a while the pace did not affect
Levinsky, and he went along at a
whirlwind clip. But there's limit to
even the greatest endurance powers,
and the continuous performance be-
gan to tell on Levinsky. He has been

if he is a good trainer, enjoys his
work. The means and groans of the
player are music to his ears. They
plead for mercy and commiseration
and he jabs and punches them the
harder. OF course after the training
trip is over and the men are all in
good trim they thank the trainer cour-
teously for his capable treatment of
them. At the time, however, they
curse him in seven different keys.
The rookie or raw recruit is an i'm
portant figure at this season of the
year. He gets some nice press no.

great deal and then he has to pack
his socks in his bag and beat it back
to whence he came. But sometimes
a real star is CHANGED upon in which
case the manager gloats a great deal
and all fandom cheers.
