COAL THIEVES
ELUDE OFFICERS

The officers have had some trouble
recently with people taking coal from
the railroad cars at Lehi Junction.
Two boys who recently took about 200
pounds each had to pay for a ton.
A few nights ago the officials found
man throwing coal OF car, but
he left before his identity could be
ascertained. A man was stationed to
watch for the coal HEAVIER when he re-
turned to haul the coal away. Soon
II commenced raining and the watch
man went for his coat. In the mean
time the coal disappeared and the
Identity of the one who took It is still
a mystery.
People who are given to the prac-
tice of helping themselves from rail
road cars seem to think that the rail-
road company suffers the loss. Not
so. for the merchant pays for the coal
at the mine and any subsequent loss
Is born by him.

The Moon and Timber.

1t may be asked in all seriousness
how much longer the superstition will
live which ascribes to the moon an
influence over timber? This unset.
entific and unprovable claim has long
held a place in the backwoods, where
people were prone to accept the teach
ings OF tradition without much con-
cern about cause and effect; but 1t
is rather late In the day now for edu-
Gated people to attribute to the dead,
inert moon an influence on vegetation.
II there is anything certain 1t is
that the moon has no observable effect
on the flow Of a trees sap or on the
characters and qualities Of the wood.
1t can be argued scientifically that
it cannot have, and it has been dem
onstrated in practice that 1t does not
have such effect. Apparently there is
some mistake in the statement that
the telling is done by moonlight. or
with regard to any phase of the moon
Accounts OF modern mahogany-logging
operations in America and Africa DO
not mention that custom. In some OF
the tropical regions hauling logs from

a new invention. The motor is To-
Gated under the bench and drives the

horizontal slides SO that it can be
moved from tub to tub. The outlet
for draining the tubs is threaded sc
that an ordinary garden hose may be
attached thereto and the water con
Quoted to a drain. The platform for
supporting the clothes basket can be
slid out of the way when not in use

Seven Young Buccaneers.

Seven boys from the National Nau.

England, engaged in a remarkable
exploit.
The boys had been on cruise in
their training vessel Polly, and on
returning to headquarters took French
leave and rowed up the Severn several
miles in one of the ships boats. An
other boat set out in pursuit, and the
fugitives thereupon decided to take to
the land. They drove their boat on to
the shore at a place called Holes

HE WOUND UP THE RIBBON
New York Hotel Guest Found 1t Led
to Very Much Embarrassed
Young Woman.

A man who could not possibly break
i'm the middle was sauntering slowly
away from the cashiers window at
a hotel in New York when suddenly he
caught sight of something blue lying
on the floor He stopped, but could
not get down far enough. A bellboy
saw what he was after and picked
up the end of piece of narrow rib
bon and gave it to him.
More than the usual number Of
chair warmers were sitting in the
lobby at the time, and soon they and
the clerks we're watching the stout
man. He fingered the piece of rib
bon in a sort of preoccupied fashion
and soon found that it led down the
corridor. He did not know it, but at
the other end was a young woman.
AS she walked the ribbon seemed to
grow longer.
Finally the stout man turned and
began to roll up the ribbon. Soon he
noticed where he was being led, and
by the time he reached the elevator
ne was able to offer handful to the
woman who stood there. With a very
rcd face and a hurried glance down
size grabbed it, and then the elevator
door mercifully opened and swallowed
her from the gaze of the tittering spec

His Freak Memory.

The possession of freak memory
was revealed during the course of a
case of robbery tried some years ago
at Melbourne. The prisoner declared
that when the crime was committed
he was in the hut of a man named
Lane, hearing him recite Walpole's
old English Baron.' which occupied
Two hours and half in the delivery.
The jury disbelieved this statement
so Lane was called to prove that he
was capable of the feat. He stepped
into the witness box and started re-
citing the story in way that showed
he knew it thoroughly. When he had
gone on for some time without a mo-
ment's hesitation, the judge wanted
him to stop, but counsel for the de-
fcnse insisted upon proving his case
by having the whole story repeated
Eventually it was decided to admit
the evidence If Lane could repeat the
last page of the book. This being sat.
isfactorily accomplished, the alibi was
allowed and the prisoner received his

GEN. MARIoN'S LEAP FOR LIFE
Tradition Declares That the Famous
"Swamp Rats" Horse Cleared
Fence Eight Feet High.

General Marion was native of
South Carolina. and the theater
of his military exploits was the coast
region of that state. The strength of
his constitution and his Song familiar
ity with the trying climate OF that
low lying country enabled him to
endure hardships that few men could
have resisted.
General Marion was slender and not
very tall, and he rode when In serv-
ice an extremely swift-footed and pow
erful horse. When in fair pursuit,
nothing could escape, and when in
fight, nothing could overtake him.
Once he was almost surrounded by a
party of dragons and had to take
refuge in cornfield The field, which
lay several feet lower than the ad-
joining land, had formerly been part
of the marsh. General Marion en-
tered it at the upper side; the dra-
goons who were in chase of him
leaped the fence also and were only
short distance behind him. His
only possible way of escape was to
leap the fence at the lower side.
To drain the field of its superhuous
water. a trench had been cut around
that part of the field four feet wide
and four feet deep. The mud and
clay removed in cutting the ditch
made a bank on it's inner side. and
on the top of the bank was a fence.
In all, the top of the fence was near
ly eight feet above the level of the
field, and the ditch four feet wide.
ran parallel with it on the farther
side. The Dragons knew the nature
of the obstacle, and believed that it
was impossible for their enemy to
pass it. Accordingly, they pushed for
ward with loud shouts of exultation.
calling out to him to surrender or
perish by the sword.
Marion, however, spurred his horse
to the charge. The noble animal, as
If conscious that his masters life was
in danger, approached the barrier in
his finest style, and with a bound
that was almost supernatural cleared
the fence and ditch completely, and
recovered himself without loss of time
on the other side. Marion instantly
wheeled about, discharged his pis-
tol at the astonished dragons. and
then, turning his horse and bidding
them good morning, departed

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP
snares. to Be at All Effective, Must Be
Handled Only With Oil.
Soaked Gloves.

Wolves are the most difficult OF all
working upon their uncomfortable curl
osity that they are most easily de-
ceived. The campfire set" is one of
the best. When a man makes camp in
the forest the wolves, If there are any
near, are sure to note his whereabouts
When he has gone they trot up to in
vestigate the ground. and with due
have left lying about. The campfire
set" is made as follows: First. hollow
out an oblong hole in the ground. jus.
large enough to take the trap. and per
haps five inches deep. Cover the trap
with sheet OF brown paper. and over
this fill the hole with damp earth
Then light a fire on the top Of it. and
into the fire. as it grows low. throw a
few scraps of raw meat.
Should wolf come along to inves
tigate the place. he is sure to scent
the cooked meat. and will start
scratching in the ashes for it. thus. OF
course springing the trap.
One OF the greatest difficulties in
wolf-trapping is to hide the aforesaid
telltale scents. so keen is their sense
of smell. The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves, soaked in oil or fat. are used
and it is best to smoke the trap over a
'smudge" fire before setting it. and
then inclose II in a paper bag.-H

Leprosy In North America.

In adopting a resolution favoring a
bill before congress for the establish
ment of a national leper colony in the
United States, the rather startling
statement was made that the number
of lepers in this country was es-
timated at between 300 and 500.
There must have been great in.
crease of these cases within the last
quarter of century if these figures
are correct, and it is high time that
some provision for segregating the
lepers in a place where they can re.
ceive humane treatment was made.
The lepers in the colony at Malo.
kai, Hawaii, are comparatively happy
in spite of their affection. They have
companionship. sanitary quarters. the
most scientific treatment, and every
thing possible is done to make their
lot endurable. 1t is almost impossible
to imagine what a leper in this coun-
try, confined alone in shack and
treated much as the lepers were in
Biblical times, must suffer. 1t would
be more humane to put him out OF his
misery at once.
There are only about 20 lepers in
England, and yet leper colony Is to
be established there in deserted part
cf the county of Essex. The late Lord
Strathcona left a bequest of S25.000
for this purpose. Surely If there is
need of a leper colony in England,
where there are only 20 cases, there
is much more need for one in the
United States, where there are be.
tween 300 and 500 cases. isolated but
widely scattered.-Argus.
