When Scot Meets Scot.

A Scottish farmer was one day sell
ing some wool to a carrier, and after
weighing it in the yard be went into
the house to make out an invoice
Coming back, he missei cheese
which had been standing on a shell
behind the outer door, and, glancing
at the bag of wool, he observed that
it had suddenly increased in size
Man." he said to the carrier, 81 hae
clean forgotten the weight O. that
bag. Let's pit it on the scales again
The carrier could not refuse. Be
ing duly weighed, the bag was found
to be heavier by the weight of the
cheese inside. A new invoice was
made out and the crestfallen carrier
went away. The farmers wife at
once missed the cheese, and, rushing
to the yard, told her husband that
some thief had stolen thc cheese.
"Na, ma, Meg" replied the farmer
quietly, q hae just self the cheese for
twa shillins the pund.' St Johns

THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
It Has Been Held BY the British Since
1704


The Rock Of Gibraltar, taking into
consideration the far-carrying guns
that are now being cast, will be even
of greater Importance because of its
commanding position at the mouth Of
the Mediterranean, where that sea is
little more than twenty miles wide
about as wide as from Calais to Do
yer Gibraltar was captured by the
British July "a, 1904, and from that
dav has not been out of British
hands. At first little was thought OF
the importance OF this stronghold
For the succeeding nine years the
Spaniards made repeated attempts 10
recapture it. On one occasion they
nearly succeeded. A French and
Spanish force having been collected
on the isthmus that joins the rock
To the mainland, a goatbard offered
to show them a path up the sloping
sides of the rock, which he had rea-
son to believe was uHhho"h W 'N'
British. Five hundred troops ascend
ed quietly one night and took shelter
in a hollow called by the Spaniards
"the little chair" At daybreak next
morning they ascended bgher took
the signal station, killed the guard
and anxiously looked for expected
reinforcements. The reinforcements
failed to arrive. The armed garrison
sailed out and drove the invaders down
the rock. The "little chair" was filled
mn and the place made stronger than
ever. All subsequent attempts to cap
ture the rock have failed. One OF
them was siege by Spain and
France, beginning in 1873 and not
terminating until September, 17S3.-

For We take out of life just what
we put into it. If we give to life only
complaining. life gives back only a

dreams send us out into the day glad.
Nightmare thoughts project their dull

SEWARD MAN GETS PATENT ON
 FIRE APPLIANCES.

A. A. Hein received word on the last mail to the effect that he had been awarded a patent by the United States patent office on an improve ment made on his first inve0tion of a combination fire alarm and automatic fire hose The original was invented in 1911. The apparatus consists of hose reel and hose. which when pulled out to it's entire length auto matically turns on the water and at the same time sets in action the fire alarms about the building and an alarm at the fire station. Each hose is numbered, and when the alarm is registered at the station a pointer turns to a corresponding numeral on dial and the fire apparatus and men proceed forthwith.
 The invention has been tested in Seattle and found entirely satlsfac- tory, and is being used by several business houses in that city. The ap- paratus as first made in 1911 weighed nearly 65 pounds, whereas the new and improved apparatus weighs but 20 pounds.-Gateway

4 WHISKY CRAZED NATIVE. RUNS
 AMUCK

John Rankin, native of Unalaska. who run amuck with a knife at the home of Mike Zbaroff, is in the Valdez iail. and Mike Zharoff and his daugh- ter Mary are under the care of phy- sfcian, suffering from severe knife wounds.
 It appears that Rankin, who Is a distant relative of Zharoff and had been a frequent caller at the home, called there while under the influence of whisky, and despite the protests of the woman he continued to get still further under the influ- ence of liquor.
 Becoming quarrelsome, he insulted Mary Zharoff and received a slap in the face, which turned him for the time being into a wild beast with the desire to kill or main all who came within his reach. Drawing his pocket knife he slashed the girl across the left arm, making a deep and ugly wound. The girls cries brought her father and brother George to her as- sistance. when Rankin turned upo- them with the knife, cutting Zharoff in the right shoulder. He struck with full force, and the blade sank to the depth of two inches into the flesh, but fortunately did not touch a vital spot. In attempting to save his fla ther George had grabbed Rankins hand and received a slight cut in the palm of his right hand.
 After being forced from the house through the front door, Rankin at tempted an entrance through the rear door, but was scared away when George Zharoff fired a shotgun through the door with the intention of warning him. He continued to ter rorize the family for fifteen minutes until U. s. Deputy Marshal Mossman, who had been summoned by the neighbors, arrived and took him in charge.
 The knife with which the cutting was done is an ordinary pocket knife, the blade of which had been worn to thin strip of steel with an edge like a razor.
