A NeighbOrhoOd Celebration

There was a rousing Fourth of
July picnic held at Fred Lips
ranch on Monday, the 5th.
The community of Kenney and
nearby ranchers all came with lots
of eats and plenty of spirit TO go
with it. Indet d many noted bach
elors, sheepherders and prospectors
emerged from their distant haunts
to share in the dinner and enjoy
the afternoon, smoking their pipes
in the shade of the pines.
The children also gave pleasing
and interesting program, mainly
flag drills and the singing of patri-
Otto songs, which helped to keep
the day in tune with the occasion.
The evening brought on the dance
with its music and lively time for
Young and old, big and little
Everybody had dandy time and
the day ended with satisfaction and
contentment to all. Coutr.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood

Provisions for Army Uniform Cloth
In Case Of War-Searchins for
: Good Domestic Dye.

3 One Of the difficulties to be met In
the selection Of a natural notified
brown for cloth for the army Is the
shortage of black or brown sheep, says
the Army and Navy Journal. In the
experiments conducted In the quarter
master corps under the direction Of
Brig. Gen. Henry G. Sharpe 1t has de-
veloped that 1t will require 10 per cent
of brown or black wool for the cloth
under consideration. A less proper
tion of dark wool would produce too
light color Of cloth and would not
meet the requirements Of the army.
In peace time, with the present
strength of the regular army. there
will be no shortage of black wool, but
in the event Of war 1t would be neces-
sary to use dyes in producing the
cloth for the uniform of q large army.
To provide for this contingency, Gen.
eral Sharpe is now conducting inves-
legations to determine whether do
mestic dye can be secured for coloring
cloth Unless this can be done the
position of the war department will
not be improved by adopting the new
cloth.
The European war has called atten'
ton of the war department to the fact
that the. present cloth uniforms can
not be produced without the use OF
German dye-stuffs. This fact Is re-
sponsible for the effort that is now be
ing made to secure a cloth that
can be produced without the importa'
ton Of any foreign material. Not un
til the cloth can be found which can
be manufactured without the use OF
such material will there be any change
in the uniform Of the army.

KILLS SHARK WITH cRoWBAR
Great Battle Wased for an Hour
Against Man-Eater Results
In Victory.

A man-eating shark up to his eyes
in mud and a stranger in the Bronx,
was killed near Throggs Neck after
everyone within half q mile OF him
had screamed at least once and missed
him with rock at least twice. David
MCGOWAN, an inspector in the Bronx
department OF sewers. is the amateur
toreador who finally sent him winging
or fiippering into the valley OF death.
Mr.. MCGOWAN. accompanied by e
quartet of pickax wielders and q dou-
BILE sextette Of shoveiers. was improv.
ing the Bronx sewerage facilities
when he heard hoarse cry. Mr.. Nc
Gowan selected a crowbar he could
trust and hurried to where a strug-
Cling form was creating whirlpool
He inserted the crowbar into the huge
bulk. The head Of an indignant shark
appeared, and Mr.. MCGOWAN, with four
excellently executed handsprings. was
back on shore again.
Then began q battle which lasted an
hour and endangered the life and
property Of all who dwell near Weir
Creek Pickaxes were hurled by the
drainage pickadores and shovels de-
scribed parabolas that were interest
ing, but dangerous.
Finally. when the shark was at the
point Of death, from ennui and ex-
haustion, Mr.. MCGOWAN stepped for
ward and inflicted the fatal wound.
The shark groaned. sighed, whistled.
rolled over, kicked once and was no
more. He was found to weigh 200
pounds when dragged to the shore
and was seven feet long.-New York

rhla the Smallest Motor7

A correspondent of the Electrical
World writes that he has Just complet-
ed q motor which weighs only SO
grains and is, he believes, the smallest
in the world. Its commutator, which
measures 045 inch in diameter. is
made up Of four gold segments insu-
lated from each other with mica. The
shaft on which the commutator is
mounted is 009 inch in diameter FL
Der insulation is used between the
commutator and the shaft The tiny
armature, 90 inch in diameter, has
four pole pieces and is wound with
No. 40 silk covered copper wire. The
weight of the revolving part is LIS
grains. Between the armature and
the yolk two field coils are provided.
The silver brushes measure 012 inch
IN diameter and are held against the
commutator by springs -004 inch in
diameter. In over all dimensions the
motor measures 1864 inch long and
1854 inch high All visible parts are
finished in Roman gold. When CON
nected to a small fashlight battery,
the motor runs at very high speed.

TaIlest Flaopole.

A fitting symbol of the mighty for
ests of the West is Astoria's fiagpole,
the tallest in the world, which floats
the stars and stripes 241 feet above
the Panama-Pacific exposition sea wall
at the corner of the Oregon building.
The stick, for it is single stick of
timber, is actually 251 feet long, but
ten feet of the butt is imbedded In
200-ton block of solid concrete,
which, without other stays, holds the
pole upright against the wind.
The pole was shaped from the trunk
of Douglas fir, which, as 1t originally
stood in the Oregon forest, lowered
BAT feet in the air, and might have
matched It's height, though not its
girth, against any but the Hottest OF
the California sequoias. Looking up
at the great fagstaff. it is hard to
realize that 1t weighs upward of 46
tons. and that there is lumber enough
in 1t to build five ordinary eight-room
houses. It's great height gives 1t an
appearance of slenderness and light
ness.-San Francisco Chronicle.

NOT A HERO TO HIS FATHER
Michael o'Leary, sr, Thought THAI
His Son Might Have Done More
Than He Did.

No man is a hero to his own valet.
That is proverbial Is any man hero
to his own father? Maybe that de-.
ponds on circumstances. The British
hero of the hour Is the Irishman, Mi
chael O'Leary, who won the Victoria
cross by bayoneting eight Germans
AS many articles and poems have been
written about his deed as we're writ
ten in the United States at the time of
the destruction Of the Maine about the
man who coolly reported to Captain
Sigsbee that the ship has been blown
up and is sinking" Now a recruiting
poster has made its appearances I'm
der fanciful picture of O'Leary STAY
ing the eight Germans, is the admoni-
ton: Follow the example of Michael
O'Leary, v, c., and join an Irish regi-
ment today"
But it appears that Daniel O'Leary,
Michaeps father, is almost disap-
pointed in his son. According to a
correspondent the sire of the Victoria
cross hero was interviewed and asked
If he was surprised at his sons brav-
cry. He replied:
Il am surprised he didn't do more.
| often laid out twenty men myself
with stick coming from Macroon
fair, and it is bad trial of Mick that
he could kill only eight, and he having
rife and bayonet"
Thus the rising generation stands
rebuked.
