a hospital at Ell Paso, Tex, where II
is said he has a fighting chance Tor

Tatliff was shot in the stomach,
a bullet from 25-caliber automatic
pistol entering just below his breast

fatally wounded, but he rode about
ten miles on horseback to Hachita'

Spectators to Get Rid Of
War Shares.

New York. April a2.--The growing
apprehension arising from the coun-
trys relations with Germany and
Mexico were almost the sole govern
ing factors of the continued disturb
9nces in the stock market Qouted
values registered more or less steady
declines. some of these attaining seri-
Gus proportions.
In fact the stocks which have feat
ured the speculative operations of re-
cent months closed at lowest levels OF
the calendar year, wiping out a very
considerable part of their spectacular
gains of 1915. Offerings were large
g OF liquidating character, volun-
tary and enforced.
The markets technical position has
been buttressed by the general selling
to such an extent that it will be bet
ter able to withstand more alarming
developments.

A boy In northern Alabama recently,
while coming from the postoflice alsng
a country road, sawton the other side
of a narrow valley W. large stream
over which there VA no bridge the
cabin of neighbor beginning to catch
fire at one end. The lad yelled an
alarm, but the inmates who be right
ly believed were at supper and whom
he could glimpse through an open door,
failed to hear him. He was carrying
some rolled papers that had come In
the mail. Having seen or heard Of
megaphone he quickly tore of wrap
pers, rolled the broad sheets into a
cone and began to roar through the
little end: Maynard Maynard Fire!
Fire! Fire." This the people heard,
or enough Of the strange noise to ex-
cite their curiosity, and they came out
to discover the flames and quickly put
them out. The boy may have been
given credit for quick thinking; he GER
tainly deserved 1t.

Coons are fond of many things roots.

corn being much appreciated by these
little wood folk
When they go out for a walk the
mother always leads the way, and the
children follow, bear fashion, in single

The coon can also walk on Its hind
feet, sitting up like bruin.
MoOweesuk relishes most things
found In the woods and when hungry
will eat ants, worms and beetles, found
by grubbing In hollow logs Coons are
very fond Of sweet sap, turtles and
watercress and wintergreen berries. In
order to get the turtle meat they drop
stone upon its shell and crack 1t.
The little chaps also relish chicken
and pumpkin seeds.
The coon has very clever way OF
