HORSE SALE IS 0N
 IN MISSOURI STATE

MEXICO, Mo-, April 17.-Mexico, ordinarily probably the "horsiest" horse town in the country, today is given over to horse buyers here from all sections of the United States to attend the annual spring sale of sad dle and harness animals. Despite the fact that thousands of handsome spec imens have been sent from Missouri to European battlefelds local and visiting horsemen say the array of stock for the spring sale is one of the best seen in many years.
 Mexico practically lives on horse. Horse-raising and horse-training comprise the city's principal industry. Any baby boy in Mexico who at the age of ten months or so can't babie something that sounds like "hos" is pitted.
 Mexico's only great hero was a horse. Rex Mcdonald was his name. Rex was champion of champion stallions and when he died there was a genuine grief throughout the city Rex's memory is going to be perpet- uated by a memorial fountain now being erected.

Huge Catamoant Killed.

Winchester, Va, Jan. IA
wild beast which destroyed pigs
and sheep, and which so terror.
ICED the mountain people of Min.
eral county, West Virginia, that
they believed it a real African
lion, has been killed. It turned
out to be the largest catamount
ever seen in any of the West Vir-
ginia border counties.
1t weighed 1876 pounds and was
very fat. A party of hunters
shot at the animal, and it sprang
upon John Dolan, ripping him
open from shoulder to abdomen.
He was rescued by companions
after a desperate battle with the
catamount. Nine bullets were
into the animal before it
was killed.
Only a short time ago the cat
amount chased negro and the
latter has not been found.

why 10 Seals Swallow stones7

No nature student seems yet to have
discovered for what reason seals swal-
low stones, though the fact is a well
established one. Certainly the stones
are not taken IN for ballast. for the
empty seals keep down as easily as the
Others. They are not swallowed for
the purpose Of grinding up food, for
they are found In the stomachs Of
nursing pups. They are not taken in
with the food because they are found
In the stonachs Of both young seals
and In those that live In the open sea
and feed on squid. Yet it is evident
that these things are not swallowed
haphazard, but are selected with con-
care from the articles strewn
along the shore. and that a preference
Is exhibited for rounded objects. This
Is shown by the fact that, as a rule.
only articles of one kind are found IN
any one seats stomach.

HUSBANDS TRAITORS
WIVES POISON THEM.
by C. F. Bertelli. !

Paris, Jan. Slow two little
French girls poisoned their hns-
bards to save the lives of an en-
tire garrison on the night OF July
80, has just been made known in
Paris and il created tremendous
sensation, as the story has
dramatic quality more tragic
than anything Shakespeare
wrote.
Rose and Marie Dupont, two
eighteen-year-old twins, were
born and raised at Dilteruet, a
small village on the Lorraine
frontier. In 1912, they married
two students OF chemistry named
Ulrich and Wilhelm, who loved
them so much that they became
French citizens and bought a
drug store in the town. Both
unions were most happy until
July % of last year (1914), when
the husbands received a letter
from across the frontier.
Immediately both became very
nervous and asked the two girls
to go to their grandmother s
home in Longwy until the situa'
ton cleared. Both went to
Longwy but found that their
grandmother was not there.
They returned very late the
next day to Vilturept. When
they arrived at the drug store
they found it closed. Going
through the garden they peered
through the shutters and saw
their husbands talking in quite
a friendly manner to two Ger.
man soldiers in full uniform.
They could not believe their
eyes at first, but they were hor.
rifed at the conversatio they
heard. A deep plot had been ar
ranged by the two husbands.
They had stored a great dose Of
strychnine and during the night
it was planned to drop it in wine
casks arranged for the French
garrison.
Are you sure the dose is
strong enough 2" one of the sold
iers ked.
why, it is strong enough te
kill all the garrison and its re.
serve" answered Ulrich.
With a low cry Rose almost
tainted. Both girls realized they
had been fooled and instead OF
being loved they were the wives
of scoundrels and traitors.
I'VE must act," said Marie,
to prevent this crime, even if
we must commit one ourselves
Half an hour later they rang
the front door bell. They ap-
peared joyous and they explained
their citation by saving they had
heard the war had been averted.
They said they were so glad tina
they wanted to open some wine
ia honor of peace and the friend
1y Uhlan soldiers. Marie went
out and brought back cham
payne bottle. She poured the
LIQUID and the four men drank it.
Next morning they ran out of
the house. They were widows
for the husbands themselves had
used the poison.
