INFANTS FOOTPRINTS
USED FOR IDENTIFICATION

One of Chicago's largest maternity
hospitals has adopted a plan of iden-
%tification which obviatcs practically
every chance for either the acciden-
tai or malicious substitution of new
born babies. says the January Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Before a
baby is an hour old ink impressions
are made of its feet. In doing this
an ink pad is used on the soles OF
the feet and Il pad of glossy paper
then pressed against them. One of
the advantages of the footprint s.
TEN is thai it furnishes n permanent
record which is kept on file at the
office of the hospital. AS the feet
develop in size the markings are
likewise enlarged, but the general pat
tern remains the same.

MONSTERS TUSk DISCOVERED
BY EMMETT MEN

EMMETT. Ida. Dec. 27.-The Gill
brothers. hunters and trappcrs. are
still prosecuting their search in the
hills and gullies in the hope of finding
more of the remains whose monster
tusk they dug up not long ago. The
tusk. although broken off on one end
chow much of the original is zone can
not even be suessed) still weighs $50
pounds.
The hunters will be disappointed if
they do not find enough of the bones
to indicate something of the structure
and size of the creature able to sup
port such a tusk.
Bits of bones of a size TO indicate
an original perhaps a foot in diane
ter, have been found in the same 10.
cality, and they may have belonged to
the monster of the mammoth tusk, but
unfortunately the parts recovered are
not sufficient TO tell anything as to
he'll dimensions except their diane
ter.

must have existed when this zone OF
the earth was hiring around as a

THE FABLE OF THE LoAFER

Once upon a time there was a good.
for-nothinS" who refused 10 follow his
fathers trade Of s~tonecutter and be-
came a loafer. He was fat and ugly.
with a short bullneck. a round, bald
head. thick lips protruding eyes and
snub nose. He spent his time talking.
with whomsoever would listen to him.
He respected no one. rich or poor. He
loved a joke. went barefoot and al
lowed his clothes 10 become soiled.
He spent most of his time drink
ing AT the public drinking place.
Finally he married, but instead of re.
forming his ways. he continued to loaf
along the streets, talking and refused
to earn money TO support himself and
his wife. Frequently the woman could
be seen leading him through the
streets with a broomstick.
That mar was Socrates-the wisest
mar the world has ever seen. He had
the greatest brain of any man who
has ever lived. He was the father of
philosophers-the greatest of thinkers.
MORAL: Don't judge a man by his
habits.

tel, the c. & S. depot, lot of freight
cars, lumber yards, etc, was just get
ting a start. A strong wind sprang
up and the fire fighters were unable to
make any Roadway against the blaze.
At the end of the first half of the
football game the score was So to
in favor of the Tigers. A request for
help was sent up to the football field
while the teams were resting between
halves. The players on both teams
figured that the score was sufficiently
large to show that the Tigers were
the better, so the squads quit playing
football and began fighting fire. 1t
was through the efforts of the play
ers that the property at No. ? North
Cascade, then owned by the late DR..
Solly, was saved. Part of the players,
working on the roof, kept the top of
the building soaked with water, while
others on the ground kept hoses play
ing on them, so intense was the heat.
After the fire DR.. Solly rewarded the
athletes with check for $50 which
they used for feed at the Alta Vista
hotel.
That the 1898 Tigers could play
real football as well as fight fire is
also shown by the fact that two mem
bers of the squad, "Slip" Brown and
Floyd Lamson went east to college
the following year-the former to La
fayette and the latter to Pennsylvania
and were chosen members of the all
American team. Brown was the un-
animous choice of Stagg, Whitney,
and the other critics for all-American
end, and Lamson was unanimous
choice for all-American tackle. Brown
came to Colorado college from South
Dakota and Lamson from Lamar, Col
orado Soon after graduation from
Lafayette, Browns father died, leav-
ing the football star one of the largest
cattle ranches in the Dakotas, and
slip" is now one of the millionaire
cattle kings" of that section Of the
country. Lamson is one of the most
prominent surgeons of Seattle.-Col-

The South and the West and the
Northern agricultural states have
much to learn in the way Of rural
thrift from the New England rural
communities The constant cry is
easier credit for the farmer, but what
the farmer most needs is more thrift.
Some of the Southern states are ours
ed with crop lienlaws which are hold
ing back the rural communities by
allowing a man to mortgage his flu
ture work and hopes and keeps him
continually in debt instead of allowing
him to lay something aside. 1t is an
astonishing fact that Massachusetts
has five times more savings bank de-
posts than have twelve southern
states. In Massachusetts there are
3 100000 people and 2,250,000 of
them have savings bank deposits. In
three years the savings banks in con-
nection with the public schools showed
100000 deposits. Every school in
the rural communities ought to have
a course of thrift talks" whereby the
teacher could lay before the scholars
the necessity of saving a portion of
whatever money they might earn. This
money could be deposited in savings
banks, and, later, when it has grown,
could be used to purchase good, safe
bonds paying three and one-half to
five per cent interest. The child mind,
