The Heroines of Novels,

If were his Satanic majesty and a novelist came to me for judgment l should beetle my brows in horrible manner and quiz him thus:
 Did you ever make your heroine eighteen years old? Did you ever en dow maiden with the repartee of Pinero. the intuition of Blavatsky. the carriage of Garden. the hauteur of the Medici. the be&uty of Aphrodite and the wisdom of Athene-all at the age of eighteen years?"
 If the novelist answered me Ger tainiy not" l should say, ITO heaven with you" But if he answered. Sure. 1 did!" I would blast him where he stood.
 For of all the ubiquitous. fallacious unfair and dangerous doctrines this takes the icing of the cake-that the female species reaches her apogee at the immature age of eighteen.-George Weston in Saturday Evening Post.

Now the wolves are so few in that state that the de- termination to hold them down has caused the state and stockmen to of fer a combined reward for every scalp, and it is having the desired effect.

QUEER LEGAL FICTION.
It Makes Stepney. In London, the

It Makes Stepney. In London, the
 Parish of Every British Seaman.
 Every sailor. from the admiral to the newest joined seaman. on board British warships is regarded as belonging to the parish of Stepney. in London. It doesn't matter in the slightest where the ship is, the sailors who man 1t all come from the same parish-Stepney.
 This queer legal fiction dates back to the time of Charles II. In those days every workingman had to live in the parish where he was born. and he could not leave 1t without finding two responsible sureties to vouch for his honesty
 This. of course. became rather pug zling in the case of people born at sea. for they had no parish. To get over the difficulty the authorities stated that all born at sea would be regarded as being born in the parish of Stepney. though why they should choose that parrish and no other Is lost in the dust of official records.
 To this day the bishop of Stepney Is godfather of all children born at sea. while all marriages solemnized on the ocean are recorded as though they had taken place in Stepney.-London An SwerS

HUNTERS SAY WOLVES
 DESTROY MUCH GAME.

Taylor and Olson, trappers, recent 1y in from the head of the Peel re- port that while in that district they saw carcasses of twelve caribou calves which had been slain by wolves in a spot on Sheep creek not more than fifty feet in diameter. Not one of the calves they state, had been even partly eaten by the wolves. Nearby were the carcasses of two full-sized caribou which had been killed by the wolves and partly eaten. The hunters complain that the wolves are thus working big destruction of the game so essential to the support of the Indians and the prospectors and tranpers,of the region, and urge that bounty be placed on wolves. John Hudson, old timer, who is talk ing an interest in the matter, says that bounty of five dollars on wolf pups and ten dollars on old wolves would create such activity in the ef- fort to destroy them that soon they would be exterminated.
 The wolf, says Hudson, is the damned plutocrat of the animal king dom. devouring whom he can and al- ways staying what 1t cannot devour. In Montana the bounty wiped out the pest in short order The state

ITCHING OF PAINTING.
Modern Color Methods and Those of
 the Old Masters.

Modern Color Methods and Those of
 the Old Masters.
 Many persons think that the paint ings by the old masters owe their per manency in some degree to secret proc esses now lost In the Journal of the Franklin institute Dr. Maximilian Toch points out that as a matter of fact the old masters used only those few colors (madder. for exampleD the permanency of which was well established, and that they avoided mixing colors known to have a bad chemical effect on one another.
 Incidentally he describes the scien copies. Zinc white. where flake white would have been used. protoplasmic re mains in the cells of the wood used for the picture and the transparency of the bitumen in the shadows are proofs that picture is not genuine anti tique In respect to deteriora tion the author mentions the bad effects of smoke and modern gas fumes and. aft CT saying that either light or darkness may bleach a picture, points out that some pictures that have been kept in the dark can be restored by placing them in bright sunlight
 Finally Dr. Toch condemns those modern painters who substitute the collapsible tube or palette knife for the brush on the ground that the flakes of color thus attached to the canvas will crack off and become detached. If that method had been used by the an, cients no trace of their work would now exist.

BURBS SELF CONTROL.
An Incident That Proved His Perfsst Command of His Feelings.

An Incident That Proved His Perfect
 Command of His Feelings.
 Aaron Burr was by nature and train ing a man of extraordinary self con- trol. He allowed no circumstances to throw him of his balance.
 An anecdote told by Rufus Choate to Richard H. Dana. recorded in MT. Dana's Diary" illustrates the callous- ness which aided Burr so greatly in controlling himself.
 Several years after the death of Alexander Hamilton, killed by Burr in duel, Burr visited Boston. and MT. Devereux of Salem paid him some at. tentions The visitor was taken to the Boston Atheneum. where. while the two men were walking through the gallery of sculpture, Mir. Devereux happened to catch sight of a bust of Hamilton.
 The thought flashed across Mir. Dev- ereaux's mind that Burr might not care to be confronted with the sight of the features of the man he had slain But no. Burr was undisturbed. He also espied the bust. and. although MT. Devereux had instinctively turned away, he walked up to it and said iu a loud tone.
 "Ah, here Is Hamilton!'
 Then. passing his fingers along cer' tain lines of the face. be added, "There was the poetry!'
 Hamilton's contemporaries gave him credit for possessing poetic mind.

HIS SPEECH WAS SHORT.
It Was Also Right to the Point. and the

It Was Also Right to the Point. and the
 Jury Did the Rest.
 A<Chicago lawyer tells of prosecut- ing attorney in circuit court of an II. linois county some years ago whose early education had been defective. but who was so shrewd and ''long headed" that few more dangerous antagonists could be found at the bar in that re- zion.
 At one time he had procured the in dictment of a man for theft. The amount alleged to have been stolen was $5, and at that time the penalty for stealing $5 or more was imprison- ment at hard labor in the penitentiary. For stealing less than that amount the punishment was confinement in the county jail without labor.
 The evidence proved beyond dispute the theft of a Ave dollar note of the State Bank of Illinois. but the pris- oner's counsel brought several busi- ness men to swear that 1t was not worth It's face value in gold. but all agreed that in ordinary transactions it would pass Tor 50.
 Over this testimony the prisoners counsel quibbled for two hours while the prosecuting attorney listened in patience.
 When his turn came he arose and de. livered himself as follows:
 "Gentlemen. hope the learned coun. sel won't get offended if don't talk but just ore minute. All I've got to say is this: The prisoner don't pretend to deny that he stole our money. and all he asks of you Is just to give him the privilege of stealth it at a dis countv'
 He sat down, and the jury sent the thief to the penitentiary.-Case and Comment

Typaa of Feet.

Among the various races of men. three types of feet occur. Certain pure races have one type of toe which is characteristic of each race. Thus. the Zulus. the Basques and probably most pure Celts have the even toed foot while the Papuans. the Boschmen and a number of African tribes. as well as both ancient and modern Egyptians. have the arch toed foot. Many Euro pean nations. however. have mixture of the three types. But 1t is certain that among the English. and probably among the Germans. French and Greeks. the even toed foot Is the com monest.-Strand Magazine.

NINE AMERICANS
 HURT IN BATTLE Villa Defeated in Four Night Attacks Upon Agua Prieta and Army Is Reported Scattering.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 2.-General Villa attacked Agua Prieta, the Mex ican border town, across the boun- dary from Douglas, but was defeated with the loss of four hundred men.
 It is reported that General Villa has given up the attempt to capture the town and that his followers are scattering over the country seeking food. The army is totally without a commissary department, each soldier dependiAarupon his own foraging abilities to- keep him supplied.
 The attacks upon Agua Prieta be- gan soon after nightfall and lasted until nearly morning, when the at tacking forces withdrew several miles from the border. During the fight ing all business in Douglas was sus- pended in order that the populace might witness the battle.
 During the battle bullets from Gen. Villas guns whistled over the trenches where the United States troops were entrenched back of Car ranza's troops and nine Americans were wounded. It is believed that General Villa has abandoned the at tempt to capture the town, as he re- alizes that he must fight the Ameri- can troops as well as the Carranza forces
