There are painters and walters. Which am going to do? Paint or wait?
 Which is better?
 How much am I worth with my property waiting? How much if paint? Will my house be worth more or less if paint?
 Say it costs $2 a gallon Devoe-I wouldn't paint any other-and $3 or $4 more for putting it on. That's $50 or $60 10-gallon job.
 The money is gone. Is it in the house? Is it all in the house?

Queer Animals Described by Returned Explorer of the

TATITH the return. of Colonel
 A Roosevelt after seven months " spent in the wilds of South
 America public interest In the former president is divided be- tween the stories of the thrilling ad- ventures he encountered and conjec- ture as to his future political activities. The big question which he has not answered is, Will he run for the presi- dency in 1916? Another element of in- terest attaching to the colonel's re- turn Is the wedding of his son Kermit who shared the perils of the Brazil wilderness with his father. Kermit is to marry Miss Belle Wyatt Willard. daughter of Colonel J. E. Willard, American ambassador to Spain, in Madrid on June II.
 Getting back to the United States the last of June, Colonel Roosevelt may start in September on a transconti- mental stumping tour. This plan is contingent upon his health.

 and no especial affinities with other modern birds. In one meadow by a pond we saw three marsh deer, a buck and two does. They stared at us with their thickly haired tails raised on end. These tails are black underneath in- stead Of white as in our white tail ileer.
 One of the yagaries of the ultra con- Cealing colorationiSts has been to up- hold the Incidentally quite preposter- ous) theory that the tail of our deer is colored white beneath so as to har- monize with the sky and thereby mis- lead the cougar or wolf at the critical moment when it makes its spring, but this marsh deer shows a black instead of a white flag. and yet has just as much need of protection from it's ene- mics, the jaguar and the cougar.

he had faced. T knew that I was getting to the age when if was to do anything requiring any unusual physi- cal exertion I must do it now. Tn fact, I was just little over the age. But put it through"
 Newspaper men to whom he said this were quick to observe that, while the colonel showed the results of ex- treme physical hardships, these had failed to affect the spirit of Roosevelt strenuousness. This fact was shown in hand clasp, speech and manner, and notably so when the colonel announc- ed in vigorous words that in his ad- dress before the National Geograph- fc society in Washington he would be prepared to refute statements by A. Henry Savage Landor and others that he had not really discovered a new river in South America.
 Thrilling encounters with savage beasts, deprivations and hardships which many a man would not live through, were the lot of the former president in his trip of exploration and collection of specimens in a vast terri tory unfrequented by man. Added to these was the ever present menace of deadly tropical levers. The fever got the colonel finally. and for a time, so it was learned after he had left the will derness far behind him, his life was despaired of. There was one day dur ing the expeditions fight with death that was very tragic. This was while the party was working it's way through the jungle that fringed the Duvida river (the River of Doubt. Colonel Roosevelt had felt the strain for days On April 26 the fever attacked him Yet he staggered on. That night he was delirious. At daybreak the fever had abated. and the colonel insisted upon continuing the trip. For days the party had been on half rations. "We can't stop now" said Roosevelt. If we don't go on we'll all die here" And go on they did. That day and the next Colonel Roosevelt suffered terribly. On the third day Kermit begged him to

Probably the majority of the ants that actually lay hold on a foe suffer death ill consequence; cer- tainly they not merely run the risk of but eagerly invite death. Odd Animals of Brazil.
 Cherrie and Miller had secured a lit tie owl in the chaco, and it was travel ing with them in basket. It was a dear little bird, very tame and affec- tionate. It liked to be handled and petted, and when Miller, its especial protector, came into the cabin it would make queer little noises as signal that 1t wished to be taken up and perched on his hand.
 Cherrie and Miller had trapped many mammals. Among them was tayra weasel, whitish above and black be- low. as big and bloodthirsty as a fisher martin, and a tiny opossum no bigger than a mouse. They had taken four species of opossum, but they had not found the curious water opossum which they had obtained on the rivers flowing into the Caribbean sea.
 This opossum, which is black and white, swims in the streams like a muskrat or otter, catching fish and liv- ing in burrows which open under wa ter. Miller and Cherrie were puzzled to know why the young throve, leading such an existence of constant immer- sion.i One of them once found a fe- male swimming and diving freely with four quite well grown young in her pouch. -~t

animation showed us that there were two peccaries within, doubtless boar and SOW.
 However, just at this moment the peccaries bolted from an unsuspected opening at the other end of the log, dived into the tangle and instantly dis appeared with the hounds in full cry after them.
 A Fierce Little. Beast.
 It was twenty minutes later before we again heard the pack baying. With much difficulty and by the incessant swinging of the machetes we opened a trail through the network of vines and branches. This time there was only one peccary, the boar. He was at bay in a half hollow stump. The dogs were about his head, raving with excitement, and it was not possible to use the rife, so 1 borrowed the spear of DoutOr Joao the younger and killed the fierce little boar herewith.
 This was a colIared peccary, smaller and less fierce than its white tipped kinsfolk. It is valiant and truculent little beast, nevertheless, and if given the chance will bite piece the size of a teacup out of either man or dog. It is found singly or in small parties. feeds on roots, fruits, grass and some times snakes and insects and delights to make its home in hollow logs. If taken young it makes an affectionate and entertaining pet. When the. two were in the hollow log we heard them utter a Eind of moaning or menacing grunt, long drawn.
 Biting Jungle Insects.
 The fire ants, of which have spoken, are generally found on a species of small tree or sapling with a greenish trunk. They bend the whole body as they bite, the tail and head being thrust downward. A few seconds after the bite the poison causes considerable pain; later it may make tiny fostering sore.
 There is certainly the most eXtraOrdi-

nary diversity in the traits by which nature achieves the perpetuation of species. Among the warrior and pre- dacious insects the prowess is in some cases of such type as. to render the pos sessor practically irllhune from danger. In other cases the condition of it's ex- ercise may normally be the sacrifice of the life of the possessor.
 Fighting Spiders.
 There are wasps that I rey and for midable fighting spiders, which yet in- stinctiveIy so handle themselves that the prey practically never succeeds in either defending itself or retaliating, being captured and paralyzed with un- erring efficiency and with entire secur- ity to the wasp. The wasp's safety is absolute.

 stay right there and fight it out alone" That night the colonel was in critical state. If Pm to go it's all right" he told the party's doctor, ''but see that the others don't stop for me-" How ever, he got better in the night and the next morning was past the crisis.

FARM WORK IS WANTED

to do farm work during the winter for
their board and keep.
In statement outlining the plan,
Thomas S Griffith. president of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, says:
THE Spokane Chamber of Com
merce is making earnest efforts to re-
lieve the situation. and we believe that
the best and most practical way of
caring for unfortunates is to give them
something to do. These men, If placed
on the farms of the Inland Empire,
where many of them are willing to
work for their board during the win
ter, can be made of positive good to all
of US.
I'VE hope that farmers who can
use these men will notify the Chris
tian Home for Men in Spokane"

Church to Conduct
Own Picture Show

POMONA, Calf, July 12.-Realiz-

of this city has decided to install
machine of it's own in the church.
1t is planned to show free of charge
biblical pictures and pictures of trav-
ell thus affording entertainment for
the young people that will keep
them away from the picture thea
ters.
"If there is any value in the mov-
ing pictures the church ought to be
using them," said Rev. Mr.. Hudson,
the pastor.
I'VE are introducing the picture
machine, not with the idea of Gre
ating a sensation but in the belief
that it offers a means and an op-
portunity of serving the community
and interesting and instructing
many to whom the ordinary service
would not appeal"

BREAKS FOOD COMBINE.

VERA CRUZ. July 12.-Hereafter
there will be enough food in this
city to break the combination into
which the local merchants have en-
tered for cornering the food market
and thus raising the prices far above
anything ever charged before. Gen
eral Funston has taken energetic
measures against the trust, and has
made it possible for merchants in
Galveston and other ports in the
United States to compete The goods
concerned were the better quality
of canned fruits, sugar, tea, and dried
fruits of all kinds as well as green
vegetables. There was no question
of a diminished supply, but of a
combination and agreement by which
prices were advanced uniformly. AS
the customs duties We're heretofore
too high fV any independents to
seek to enter the field, the mer-
chants, Spanish, German and Mexi
can had the market at their mercy.
