he stole. He kept memorandum

practice several months ago.
The plan was simple enough. Alt
hon and his associate simply took
advantage of a slight defect in the
system OF punching tickets. In col

A Trick of Fest Indian Thieves.

In some of the thieves schools
in India a regular course of train
ing is gone through in the art OF
''pouching," or concealing articles
Of value in the throat. A newspa.
per published in Calcutta thus de-
scribes the process:
"At first small piece of lead at
tached to a thread is swallowed
and guided by the action of the
tongue to the orifce of the sac in
the throat. As soon as this has
been thoroughly learned the lead is
coated with lime. This eats into
the sac and enlarges it. The size
Of the article to be pouched is grad
ually increased until it is said that
many of the Indian thieves can
pouch 8 or 10 rupees at once"

Two Miles of Cable

Just before the close of navi-
CATION. 4 large reels of cable for
the new Ashland harbor light
were received at the Commercial
dock. In these four reels is
nearly two miles of cable. The
hArbor light Is on the extreme
west end of the Ashland break
water. The breakwater is
OK city a mile in length. and
ftom the shore end of the break
water to the station on the shore
the distance is half mile or
more, Early in the spring also,
the government will build a
house on it's property in the
east end for the light keeper
and the shore end of the cable
will end in this house from
which point the light will be
regulated. The keeper will be
expected to make a trip out to
the light every day but he will
operate from the shore.
In contrast to the harbor light
which will be all electric light,
the government is replacing the
lights among the Apostle Islands
with the strong vapor light
which is now being introduced
all over the lakes. To give an
idea of the comparative strength
of this light it is only necessary
to cite the Outer Island
light $4,000 candle power, but
which by the installation OF the
new vapor light was increased
to 100000 candle power. Similar
lights were also stationed on
Michigan Island and to replace
the White Light on Long Island.
The Sard Island light will be
changed next spring,-Ashland

INSULTING THE FLAG.
One Thing About Which Every Nation
IL Extremely Sensitive.

One Thing About Which Every Nation
Is Extremely Sensitive.
There is nothing about which civil
lied nations are quite SO sensitive as
the courtesy due to their national flags.
A deliberate insult to flag will bring
even the most patient of nations to
boiling point Flag incidents always
cad to strained relations and often
to war.
How seriously nations take these
things is shown by the suddenness
with which a war cloud lOomed up
when Huerta, the Mexican dictator,
dubbed about saluting the American
flag after his officers had illegally ar
rested United States marines.
1t was flag incident that renewed
the Balkan war after Turkey had been
successfully crushed by the three allies.
There was strong i'll feeling among
the allies as to the division Of the
spoils. A small Servian party crossed
the Bulgarian border and was quietly
footing a village near Vratza, when
the local postmaster hoisted the red,
green and white Bulgarian flag over
the pOstoffice. He was shot in the act
and the flag riddled with bullets. Next
morning Bulgaria declared war.
Flag incidents keep cropping up ac-
cidentally, but apologies smooth mat
tiers over. 1t is, for instance, mortal
insult for ship to fly another national
flag below it's own, as this implies cap
ture and conquest. 1t has occasionally
been done with flags on gala occasions
A Russian warship did it some years
ago during a call at Portsmouth. 1t
was, of course. followed by COM
plete apology to the local admiral.
This explains why, when the British
admiralty issued universal code OF
signals some years ago for use by al'
the nations, there was good deal OF
international heartburning over the
colored plate Of national flags that pref
aced it. The union jack, naturally,
came first. Diplomatic relations, par
ticularly with Germany, were rather
strained for some time, though there
was no danger Of war; 1t was realized
that alphabetical order was impossible,
as many nations spell each others
names differently. Britain. for ex-
ample, would count Germany among
the CPS, while Germany calls itself
Deutschland, among the Ds.-Philadel-
