pOLICEWOMAN HAS
STRONG RIGHT ARM
Drags Prisoner From Car and
Holds Him For Patrol.

Chicago.-Some Of Chicago's newly
appointed policewomen believe that
duty has been fully performed when
they have detected u lawbreaker and
summoned one of the male members of
the force to makesthe actual arrest.
But not so with Mrs. Mary Boyd
That militant official demonstrated
that a policewoman can do other work
than counsel mothers Of Maynard girls
and trap Washers.
She backed up her police star with a
muscular right arm, yanked a man
who tried to resist arrest off a street
car and backed him up against a post
while she summoned . patrol wagon.
Mrs. Boyd was on a a at North
Clark street and West North avenue.
TosseI Wendt. Il janitor at 1915 Wells
street. was arguing with the conductor
about a transfer and using more or less
vigorous language. Finally the two be-
gan to fight. Wendt was getting the
better of the conductor when Mrs.
Boyd. presenting her star. told him he
was under arrest.
He replied with all oath and tried to
slap her face. she told the sergeant
afterwards. Mrs. Boyd hadn't pulled
gasping bathers out of the lake ut the
Fourteenth street beach all summer
without developing aemuscle. She rode
to the station with her prisoner and
preferred a charge Of disorderly con-
6nct.

was made by a cow owned by Mr..
Avery of New York, Rose III. In
twelve months she produced 1882
pounds of milk and S31 pounds of but
ter, showing her milk to be very rich
in butter fat.
The essential characteristic of Short
horns is beef. but a beef breed that al
show a herd with more than forty
cows with milk records ranging from
10000 to 1922 pounds Is worthy Of
the careful consideration Of men who
want COWS that will pay their way as
dairy animals aside from their ability
to produce profitable beef animals.
Such COWS are well suited to present
day farm conditions. and the demand
for such is r. increasing. and the
men who are producing cows with
good milking qualities and acceptable
beef form will have a profitable mar
ket for their surplus.

he tells many interesting incidents of
the siege.
The enemy succeeded in placing thir-
ty-twO guns OH the heights above the
town and kept up such an incessant
fire that the troops and civilians were
soon engaged in digging bomb PROOF
shelters. In Il short time they learned
to distinguish the different Boer guns
by their sound and gave them amusing
names. Three Of the large ones they
called Long Tom," Putting Billy"
and Weary Willie" Then there was
"Silent Susan" so named because the
bursting of a shell was the first warn

that they gave up firing and actually
sat on the edge of the hills. watching
the game. Then. when it was all over,
the firing started afresh.
But this was not the only courtesy
the enemy showed. On Christmas day
they saluted the happy morn by salvos
Of shells. The first two that fell into
the camps Of the carabineers and the
Imperial Light horse did not burst.
When the shells were picked up it was
found that wooden plugs had been in
serted in place of the fuses. and inside
the shells were plum puddings. On the
outside were the words, with the
compliments Of the season."

SHORTHORNS AS
MILK PRODUCERS

From the very origin Of the breed
ShOrthorns have had two qualities to
commend them to the favorable con-
alteration Of farmers and stockmen.
and it is this dual capacity for beef
and milk production that has made
them so popular. writes B. U. Cowan
in the National Stockman. AS beef pro-
ducers they are known over the civil
lied world, but their dairy qualities.
though excellent when properly devel-
oped. are not so well recognized.
At the present day the large herds
that supply the city Of London with
milk and butter are composed quite
largely and in some cases exclusively
of Shorthorn cows. either pure bred or
high grades. 70 some extent this is
also true in New York and New Eng
land.
The best milk record Of any Short
horn COW is that of Rose of Glenside.

dous losses incurred by parasites dur

nal parasites are unusually active dur
ing the winter. The, dense fleece Of the
sheep is an ideal place for them to live
and reproduce in great numbers. As
the parasites multiply the sheep be-
come restless and begin to rub against
the corners of the feed racks and par
titions in the barns There is but one
method of treatment. and that is to
eradicate the evil. If any Of the ami
mails show Indications of being affect
ed with the trouble in the fall they
should be dipped before they are put
into winter quarters. If the barn and
feed racks become infested much trou-
BILE will be encountered in cleaning out
the pests. There is no danger in dip
ping if a warm day is chosen and the
sheep as soon as dipped are put into a
barn and kept away from drafts until
they are dry.

in a new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward in the Journal of
Natural Science by Professor Philip
Fauth. a well known astronomer,
whose reputation has rested principal
" upon his researches into conditions
on the moon
The novel feature of DR.. Fauth's
theory is that it is based upon the sup
position that a great part Of the known
solar system. including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn.
are not composed Of mineral matter at
all, but are tremendous masses Of ice.
or balls of ice surrounding a mineral
kernel. Furthermore. he declares. q
part Of what is now known as the
Milky way is not mineral or gaseous.
but "a ring Of ice DUST" masses Of
particles Of ice suspended in space. the
outer planets receiving q constant ad-
dition to their ice mass from this
source.
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote period
has had a similar experience. resulting
in the death Of nearly all animate ma
ture. and that all species of life as we
know 1t have arisen since then. Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrowing orbits will fall into the

SENSATIONAL RESCUE OF 1oe
MADE AT SEA
Yarmouth, N. ST. Jan. 15.-The

Yarmouth, N. y, Jan. 15.-The
passengers and crew of the royal
mail packet Cobequid were rescued
last night in response to wireless sig
mails of distress sent out thirty-six
hours before.
The rescue was effected as the
Cobequid was being smashed to
pieces on Trinity rock, six miles off
Port Maitland. The steamers West
port and John L.Cann were first to
get boats into the water and were
aided by the government steamer
Lansdowne and the Rappahannock.
There were 108 passengers on the
Cobequid, and though they had been
almost two days exposed to zero
weather and the terror of death at
sea the rescue was so orderly that
the women were lowered into the
boats first, then the men passengers
and last the captain and his crew.
The delay of the rescUers in reach
ing the Cobequid was because the
wireless operator could not tell the
location of the ship and a heavy
Vapor caused by the intense cold on
the water shrouded the vessel, which
was coated with ice.
