Like all Eicn before the public, Ed
win Booth was frequently the victim
Of malicious detraction. He was &c
cused of initiating other actors at first
his father, then the tragcdian Fechtel
and others.
Fechter was at that time very popu.
lar in England and in this country. He
once called Oh the younger actor and
said with brutal frankness, II hear
them Sly you initiate my business. and
l am going to watch you like a hawk"
1t must have been rather trying to
| play to this rival glaring cOnspicuously
| from stage box, but ut the conclu-
sion of the performance Fechter came
back to say that the charge was quite
unfounded.
Shortly after this experience Booth
took night off and went to see Fech-
ter, and he was astonished to see the
German actor following the ghost in
Hamlet with the handle of his sword
uplifted as Il cross. Booth remarked
dryly that Fechter had evidently ap-
proved that part of his business and
had adopted it. Shortly after this the
critic of a New York paper made the
Interesting discovery that Booth had
purloined this bit Of business from the
foreign actor. -. u 81
Booth smiled at the eXtravagant
praise bestowed upon MOunet-Sully for
his wonderful business in Hamlet" in
swearing by the shadow of the cross
made Oh the stage by his sword
Booths comment was that he had done
that years before Mounet-Sully ever
played the part of Hamlet. Both pieces
Of business were the results of acct
dents. On one occasion his sword stuck
into the stage so that he could not pull
it out, and he noticed the shadow cast
by it and realized it's significance as he
pointed to it. On another night. as he
ratio-"Unhand me, gentlemen, or, by
heaven, I'll make ghost of him that
let's me"-he lost his hold on the sword;
it flew up into the air, and as he caught
it he noticed that the hilt made the
sign of the cross; he caught the elo.
quence of its meaning, and it became 4

CANINE SW|FTNESS.
Eskimo and Siberian Dogs Are Fast,
but the GREYHOUND ExceIs.


Few people realize of what remark
able speed dogs are capable. Some sta
tisticS in regard to this have been gath
cred by NJ. Dusolier, French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-.
durance shown by little fox terriers
who followed their masters patiently
for hours while they were riding on bi.
cycles or in carriages he says that even
greater endurance is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs,
Thus the wolf can run between fifty
and sixty miles in one night, and an
arctic fox can do quite as we'll, if not
better. .4:sIs--I ssEEassl"- ~ -'se-' l---,~
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel
forty five miles on the ice in five hours,
and there is a case on record in which
a team of Eskimo dogs Travelled six
and one-half miles in twenty eight min
utGS
According to NJ Dusolier, the speed
Of the shepherd dogs and those used on
hunting ranges is from ten to fifteen
yards a second. English settlers and
pointers run at the rate Of eighteen to
nineteen miles an hour, and they can
maintain this speed for at least two
hours. Fox hounds are extraordinarily
swift, as is proved by the fact that a
dog Of this breed once beat thorough
bred horse, covering four miles in six
and a half minutes, which was at the
rate of nearly eighteen yards second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest Of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
is equal to that of carrier pigeons.
English greyhounds, which are used
for coursing, are able to cover at full
gallop space between eighteen and
twenty yards every second.-Our Dumb

Held Bible and Rudder.

Some years ago Japan was neither SO
free nor so friendly with other nations
as she is today. In those old days
when a foreign ship entered the Japa
neSe ports the captain was obliged to
place his Bible and rudder in charge
of the chief officer of the port and
leave them there until he was ready
to sail. OF course he wouldn't sail
without either, and the Japs could
easily keep tabs on the movements Of
all ships in their harbors

night in an open shed was bitten
through the nose and on the hand by
a coyote which is supposed to have
been rabid. He hurried to Elko and
his injuries were treated by DR.. West.
The unfortunate man was sent to
Reno by his friends, where a critical
examination will be made to deter
mine whether or not the animal was
rabid.
Mr.. Achabal was sleeping in the

to stay indoors. While half asleep
he felt something standing beside
him and put out his hand to repulse
the intruder. The animal instantly
bit him through the nose and LAGER

While Congress has not declared
war against Mexico as yet. some

were unauthorized by the Mexican
government and were brought about
by subordinate Mexican command
ers.
General Pershing reports that but

ry attacked at Carrizal on the 21st
have so far reached his headquarters.
Seventeen of these troopers were

The War Department has ordered
100, 900 of the National Guard from
the different States modified and
placed under General Funston's
orders. Funston has already ordered
the National Guard of California and

OVER $4,000 COYOTES KILLED
Government Report Indicates
Rabies Disease Will Soon
Be Under Complete
Control

That the combined efforts OF the
Nevada Rabies Commission and the
United States bureau of biological
survey in carrying on the rabies err
adication campaign in Nevada is
producing results as indicated in the
report of the biological survey,
which was submitted to the rabies
commission at a meeting in Winnie
mucca Saturday. The report was
compiled by E. R. Piper, assistant
biologist, and E. R. Sans, predatory
animal Inspector, and embraces
every phase of the situation.
According to the report there
have been 5000 coyote scalps and
skins turned in by the hunters at
Winnemucca. This number repre-
sents about 10 per cent of the num-
Der poisoned as the hunters have
been instructed not to look for the
dead coyotes as it takes too much
of their time. According to sheep
and cattle men, dead coyotes by the
hundreds can be found in all parts
of the State where the hunters are
working.
There are now 143 hunters en-
ployed in the work distributed as
follows: Washoe County, 20; Hum
boldt County. 33; Elko County. "a;
White Pine County. Ia; Eureka Coun-
ty, IL, Lander County, 10; Churchill
County, nine; Nye County, five; Lin
coin County, four; Lyon County. one
and Esmeralda County, one.
During April the campaign cost Ne
vada and the federal government
$3859.72. In May the expenditures
amounted to 1929 70 for the State
and S4063. 70 for the federal govern
ment.
The $685. 70 spent during these
two months came out of the 500, 900
fund appropriated by the sheep and
cattlemen and as yet none of the
counties have been called upon for
any funds. The commission still has
an appropriation of $25, 900 from the
State at its command besides the one
and one-half. cent tax from each
county and the balance of the fund
furnis he'd by the sheep and cattle
men.
AT the present time" said J. A.
Clemmons, a member of the COM
mission, the work of the hunters is
not as productive as it will be from
August on. The abundance of sage
hen and rabbits throughout the State
renders the setting out of poisoned
meats less effective as the coyotes
prefer the wild game for food.
1.-THE government hunters are do
ing effective work at a comparative
ly small cost. and ! believe that the
spread of the rabies is checked to
such a large extent that it will be
wiped out in a few more months.
The government men complain about
the manner in which many of the
cities and counties co-operated with
them in regard to forcing dog own
ers to keep their dogs penned up or
muzzled.
Besides hunting coyotes the hunt
ers are also engaged in hunting bear,
mountain lions and wild cats. Sew
eral days ago a'bear came down into
Star valley in Elko County and killed
four cows. The government hunters
were notified and set out in search
of the animal. They killed five cubs,
but at last reports had not located
the mother.
