centuries look down upon you" There
are trees in the grove estimated by
scientists, among them John Muir, the
eminent naturalist, to be 5000 and
even 10000 years old.
The oldest living things in the world
are these giant trees. Also the spe-
cies of vegetation to which they be-
long is the oldest in the world. The
sequoia tree, exactly like that Of Cali
fornia, flourished several millions OF
years ago. We know that because we
find their fossilee remains buried be-
meath thousands of feet of rock, and
geologists are able, by reading the
leaves of those rocks as an ordinary
man would read a book, to tell when
the sequoias beneath them lived.

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR iARMY
Improved Shoe Model Will Be Hob
nailed for Service In
Mexico.

The war department appointed a
shoe commission in 1912 to design a
model embodying the best points of
If possible. The shoe which was
adopted was of good materials. well
made on a rational last designed by
the department. The interior Is per
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick. The arch
Is flexible and without metal shank or
other stiffening. Eyelets are used
rather than hooks. The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle; 1t Is wide
across the ball of the foot and has q
high toe cap. 1t is comfortable, neat
looking, light in weight and easily re-
moved or put on.
AS soon as the soldiers wear out the
shoes Of the type which they are now
using on the border they will be refit-
ted with the new type which the gov
ernment has ordered, says a writer In
nailed and weighs three pounds seven
ounces. 1t has been adopted for Mexi-
can service because the present type
has not worn well in mountain climb
ing and has been readily cut up by the
malpais rock in Mexico. The shoe is
similar to that In use in the Italian
army.
Whether this model will be perma-
nently adopted is open to considerable
doubt. The weight of the shoes and
the stiffness of the leather used de-
tract from the comfort of it. 1t has
some disadvantages, therefore, but the
severe usage in Mexico made 1t desir-
able to give this type thorough try
out in regular service.

ed TO anything as big Lacquer Con
ME got barrel of Oregon apples for
one of the present hurlers of the

the price was satisfactory.
Stanley COveleskie, who has been do.
ing great work for Cleveland, got his
first major league trial with the Ath.
letics few years ago. He pitched
three or four games, in one of which
he shut out the Tigers.
Connie didn't think the had was quite
ready. So he sent him to Portland
Ore. with proviso that he could be
repurchased. This was very necessary
inusmuch as the Cleveland club, for
several years, has had first call on all
Portland players.
While Coveleskie was with Portland
there was some change In the Organi-
zation of the club, which involved the
making out of new papers. The owner
ship forgot to protect Mack's claim
to COveleskie. and when the deal was
completed Cleveland had a grip on him.
Mack naturally protested holding
that the player belonged to his club,
In which he probably was right. But
he never got any action. All that he
did get was the barrel of Oregon ap-
pies, sent to him by the club owners,
apparently as II peace Offering.

How to Keep Bread Fresh.

Bread may be kept long time in a
suitable oxygen-free atmosphere. In
recent American Chemical society
paper, Arnold Wahl pointed out that
as the bread cools, the carbon dioxide
in its pores is condensed and dissolved
in the free water of the bread, and the
resulting vacuum causes an absOrp-
tion Of gases from the atmosphere.
Cooled in ordinary air, oxidation of the
protein by the absorbed gas renders
the bread stale in few hours. Mr..
Wahl has found preferable an atmos-
phere of carbon dioxide freshly pro-
duced by fermentation, and when
cooled in this the bread is so modified
as to remain fresh several weeks.

Herbert Bruce Hannay, an English

The Prussians are the descendants of

SLAMS of the Hittites, the French of the
Canaanites. the Slavs of the Medes,
the non-Prussians and non-Hessian
Germans of the Persians, and the Eng
lish of the house of Judah. He is
quite certain that the English, not
withstanding their alleged descent
from the Angles, the Saxons and the
Jutes, nre not Teutons, but bark back
to the Hebrew race. 1t will be re-
called that theory like unto this was
advanced by II Lieutenant Totten. who

Plenty Of "Things to Read"
Provided for Growing Army
OF Readers, Inquiry Shows

The increase of things to read" is
treated with some amazing statistics
by John Cotton Dana, in his volume
OF essays and addresses called Libra
ries,' the New York Evening Post OBJ
serves. The market for things to read.
as he remarks, has grown much wider.
The schools turn out more readers than
ever before; every street car invites
to practice in reading; every vacant lot
bears on its awful front child's first
reader, and on every wayside fence
from here to the Pacific Is better
first reader than our grandfathers
found in their treasured hornbooks. In
America libraries of 1000 volumes and
over increased in number In the years
1SSO-19OO from about $500 to over
5000. The number of volumes in them
increased in the same period from
about 12,OO0,OO0 to about 44,OOO.O 900.
The most modest guess as to the num-
Der of books lent annually by libra
rians In 1900 was 1OO,O00,000. and this
formed only drop in the total book
reading.
When we turn to periodicals we find
that In America there is printed daily
newspaper every day for every four
or five persons, or well over 100000
copies n day. Between 1890 and 1902
the capital invested In the printing and
publishing business more than doubled,
while in less than the same period the
number of copies of papers and jour
nails had done the same-Nhe census
of 1900 showing n rise from 4.000,OO0,-
600 annually to S,00O,OOO,0OO. Other
kinds of publications increased much
tend to occupy more and more of the
periodical field, but they have grown
steadily in number.

so apt to turn the pages over tanta-

If wife discovers her bridegroom
spends half of his salary in cigars
and treating friends-is actually a
spendthrift, fact she never knew be-
fore-instead of raising great row
over the missing sum from his week
ly pay envelope, she should by wom-
anly tact and loving kindness wean
him from his fault by degrees with
out giving him so much as hint that
she had discovered his weakness and
was devoting all her energies to bat
ting silently against it. If she de-
nounced him as spendthrift, he
would lose at once his fear of her
finding it out.
And so on with the trifiing faults
of each to the greater ones. The rea-
son why some married couples cannot
agree is because they find singular
pleasure in throwing up to each other
the faults they have discovered.
Married life, in the majority of
cases. consists Of keeping tab on each
other and keeping to oneself what she
or he finds out. Those who adhere
to this plan have fairly happy life
of it together. The couples who taunt
each other with what they know of
each others faults or follies wrangle
all through their welded days, having
a wretched existence of it.

Savoy hotel on May 6, 1914, and has
been tried twice, sentenced to die
once and had execution OF that SEN
tence delayed by the Supreme Court
several times, for one legal reason
and another, is to have another
chance for his life.
The Board Of Pardons, after hear
ing arguments OF Bulger's counsel for
commutation of sentence on the
ground that Bulger is now suffering
from paranoia. decided that the gov
ernor should appoint a special alien
list to study Bulger's mental condi-
ton and report to the board later.
And the board further decided that.
pending this report, execution of the
sentence Of death on Bulgar shall be
postponed and no further steps will
be taken by the board in the matter
and no additional arguments heard
until this report Of the special alien
ist is received by the governor and
communicated to the board.
Eleven other cases were heard by
the board. Communication Of sentence
was denied in eight OF them and
granted in one, while the hearing Of
the other two cases was continued
until the next meeting of the board,
which probably will be in November.
Those denied combinations, and
the charges upon which they were
convicted were John Cox, three mur-
der charges; Mike Svilar. murder;
Elberto Trio, murder; Frank Butts,
murder; Luther W. Lee. forgery; Jose
Luchuga, statutory offense; Harry
Newell, robbery with a gun. and A.
Sorbin, burglary and larceny.
Thomas Clark, who was sentenced
to serve from four to seven years for
cattle stealing, was given his free
dom. He had only few months TO
| serve.
The case OF Frank Goodrich,
charged with q minor offense, was
continued. as was also the case of
Geritt Van Wyck, accused of murder.
Van Wyck's case has attracted
/ widespread attention. He was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment In 1906
for the murder of his sister-in-law,
Miss Gerritje Hast. He had two
trials. In the first he and his wife

That is all there is to that story. II
you want to know how John got there,

1t was near the noon hour yesterday
and the bar in the Postal cafe was well
lined with board of trade and railroad
men. The top of the bar was comfor-
tably decorated with silver and pa
per currency, as well as bourbons,
rickeys and other rejuvenators.
Suddenly the Van Buren, street door
flew open and sturdy Swede of about
fifty years came sailing in. Hanging
on to his coattails was woman of
about the same age. They were the
Petersons. AS John sailed and Helma
quadroplaned through the hundred feet
from the extreme south to the extreme
north doors, they did not miss any
thing nor anybody.

Arrived in La Sale street, John
slowed up and Mrs. Peterson regained
her feet. She called policeman and
related the tale Of how John had run
away and refused to support her.
The officer suggested she get out n
warrant for Johns arrest. Mrs. Pete
said she'd just take Pete to the station
herself. She took fresh grip of the
family coattails and told him to
march on.
AS they proceeded John probably in
dulged in some of the honeyed words
that first led Helma into wedlock 30
years ago. AT all events, by the time
they reached Harrison and Clark
streets her grip on the coattails loos-
ened.
John, feeling the unexpected slack,
sprinted. Helma, although II belated
starter, was game and sprinted also.
East on Harrison street they raced,
