Animal stories are somewhat rare

help to tell a story which has been
occupying the serious attention OF
German antiquaries. Before the Ber.

Harry David recently announced his
discovery of fraud" in the Naples
museum, in the shape Of the bas.relief
of a rhinoceros said to have been
found at Pompeii.
The doctor triumphantly pointed out
that the bas-relief was really a COPY
of a drawing by Durer in the British
museum, and that, therefore, the Ital
ians had been deceived. The italian
authorities. however, retorted by stat
ing that the bas-relief did not appear
in any official catalogue. and that, az
a matter of fact, the fraud" was

be rushed to the border as soon as

nouncement coming later that the fol.

at a moments notice: Troops A and

four companies of infantry.
Cavalry troop A is over its mini
mum strength, having fully eighty
five men on its rolls, the majority OF
these men being seasoned campaign
ers who have seen service in the reg
ular army. Every officer of the
troop is a former United States cav.
alryman. Troop . of Boulder, COM
manded by Capt. H. c. Washburn, also
is up te its minimum strength. Both
troops re in need of horses, but
these could be furnished when the
men reach the border.
Battery B of Denver, commanded by
Capt. G. A. Blanchard, was up to
strength when it left this city for the
rifle range at Golden. 1t is one of
the best equipped detachments in the
state, and is ready to entrain at any
minute. With the addition of four in.
fantry companies, Colorado is pre-.
pared to send about 600 officers and
men to the border.
While no official confirmation OF
this statement was obtainable, it is
currently reported that three of the
four infantry companies up to mini
mum strength, or so near to mini
mum strength that at any minute they
will be ready to move, are Company
Fl of Seibert, Company c of Lamar
and Company X of Canon City.
The states share of the expense of
getting the guard into shape will total
about $50,0U0, according to the adju-

Point Of Beauty Which All Women
Should Do Their Very Utmost
to Attain.

1t is said by physiognomists the
mouth is the feature which most truly
expresses the character. Mouths have
won more men for women than any
other feature. A man when away may
forget the glance of an eye, the shape
of the face, but some expression of the
mouth still remains with him perma-
nently.
Many women who have no other
good feature seem to be beautiful be.
cause the mouth is bewitchingly at
tractive, and tells Of soul that is
big and fine. It is an easy matter for
us to do for the mouth what nature
did not do. OF course, we cannot
change the marking of the mouth, but
we can change the lines about it. No
mouth, no matter how beautiful it's
contour, is attractive if it pulls down
or remains immovable in tight,
straight lines.
The mouth is the most mobile of
all our features. 1t is claimed that
those who talk, sing and laugh fire.

Do Not Overlook Important Matter Of

Careful Cultivation.

Having given thought to the plan

to your next seasons vegetable gar
den, and the variety you wish from
the one and the things you wish to
plant in the other, do not forget the
important matter of pruning and d.
viding and setting and anticipating
careful cultivation. Get all the gar
den tools and implements which you
will need in working properly. There
will be spades, hoes, lawn mowers,
trowels, knives, sprayers, etc., to
think OF and select from the best
devices offered by progressive manu-
facturers. In fruit growing and gar
dening, like in everything else, good
tools facilitate good workmanship

more than one SOW, uniformity of the
lot is desirable and important. The
nearer alike the sows the more proba,
bility of the pigs being uniform.
In selecting the herd boar the same
points are essential, except that the
animal should show masculinity. A
strong, broad head and neck, suffi-
cient bone, with strong, straight pas
terms, hook, and knee joints, are i'm.
portant. He should show early matur
ing characteristics, and have well-de
veloped testicles. Shields, or thick
plates of skin, should not show on the
sides of the shoulder before he is ono
year of age. A strong, slightly arched
back, with large heart girth, is essen
tial In flrst-class boar, for he must
have room for the vital organs, name
ly, heart, lungs, etc. Remember that
the boar is at least half of the herd
as far as breeding is concerned, and
he is usually more, so his selection
cannot command any too much care
or patience. Get a good boar and he
will pay you we'll.
