towing vessel has been struck when
a projectile has fallen short and
then ricochetted to the right, as it
invariably does owing to its rotation
in that direction. The rifling of the
gun-barrel causes this rJtation.
Sometimes these great rrojectiles
ricochet several times, and go
bounding over the water as a peb-

straight at him.
First there is a flash and puff
of smoke; then nothing for period
of seconds, while the projectile Is
on its way; then suddenly a great
splash as the mass of iron strikes
the water.
Up to this moment there has been
no sound of the discharge. no

tied. He had been in prison from 1907
till the date of his parole and is now
IL the east. The gist of Mr.. Miller s
argument is that the community was
highly inflamed at the time of Pres.
trial and that the verdict Of con
vietion was the result of public senti.
ment against him and not of any evf-
denee that he was a murderer.
Self-defense is the ground of the ar

Of 1t in a strong talk. Mr.. Miller fin

board announced they would hold AN
executive session at two O'Clock and

After being in session for more than

FOREST RANGER SCHOOL
OF CORRESPONDENCE

The fifth season Of the forest ranger
eorrespondcnce curse IN the local for
est district has just come to a close,
although no commencement exercises
mark the annual recurrence of this
event. Samuel b. Locke, who is leav-
inc the district office and the Saw
forest, on which he was engaged
to become supervisor of the
La Sal, at MOAB, has been in charge Of
this course almost from its beginning.
The ultimate object of the course,
organized in the fall of 1910, was the
Improvement of the efficiency of the
rangers, through helping them to use
their evenings during fhe winter sea
son for study. Text books on forestry.
with sets Of questions to be used as a
guide in studying, were circulated
among the men, from ten to thirty days
being allowed for study Sc she diffe.
ent subjects. At the end of this period
the books were returned, examination
questions sen the men, and their an
swers forwarded to the district Office
for correction. Since the real value of
the work was the amount of self-im.
provement each man made, and a low
Or high mark did not affect a man 5
standing officially, the grading was
made an index not only of the correct
ness of the paper but also of how hard
the student was trying. Glasses are
not practicable-it is necessary for
each ranger to pursue his course indl-
vidually, on account of variation il
accessibility of the ranger headquarters
in winter, the amount of spare time
available, and the time necessary for
different ones to master a subject.
The course, which is not compulsory,
is taken advantage of by many of the
rangers, and their letters of apprecia.
ton indicate that this assistance slim
ulates their zeal to improve spare mo.
ments, and that they are able to MAKE
practical use of the principles with
which through study they become mole
familiar.

YOUNG MAN TREED
BY VICIOUS COUGAR
Experience of Boy in the Jacksonville
SectiOn-Other Interesting Items
From That Section

RAWSONVILLE, Ida, Sept. IT.
Especial Some excitement was caus-
ed last Sunday evening when Frank.
the 14-year-old son of R. S. Hole,
reported that he had been freed By
cougar. 1t seems that the Young
man had started for the pasture after
the COWS, about a mile from the house,
behind him, and was surprised when
he turned to notice that he was being
followed by a cougar. He could think
of nothing to do but to climb a con-
venient tree, so he started up as rap
idly as possible. After getting up
what he considered safe distance,
but without stopping, he looked down
to see if he was being followed. In
his excitement he grasped a dead
limb which broke from the tree and
Frank went to the ground in a heap.
When the young man scrambled to
his feet the cougar was out of sight.
Cougars are more numerous this
year in this vicinity than for many
years past.

THE NATIONAL DISH

Is fried chicken really the national
dish? That is what the hotel stewards
say, and they ought to know South
erners have always held that it could
be tasted in it's perfection only in the
South. Can a foreign chef equal a
nanny" in preparing it? With our
generous admixture of races it might
be supposed that a national dish
would be impossible in any larg sense.
1t might be baked beans. spaghetti or
"hot dog" The national menue has
been greatly extended by immigration
in recent years, and the ordinary
American family is familiar with all
kinds of food of which it's ancestors
never partook. The stewards intimate,
indeed, that the position of fried
chicken is not quite impregnable. We
eat more vegetables and salads than
ever and Less red meat" This tend
ency is to be encouraged, especially
in summer. The favorite salad is let
tuce. 1t is undoubtedly the common
est; but what persons of epicurean
tastes would prefer lettuce to rom
aine, escarole or chicory? AS for the
vegetables which we eat in such
quantities. are they mostly timed or
fresh? Has not the preserving pro-
cess destroyed the first fine lyric rap
ture with which we used to greet the
early pea or the tender lima BEAM
