A Columbus correspondent tells us
IAN anecdote in which the names must
|be suppressed, but which is non the
LESS true and moral, says the Cleve-
hand Plain Dealer.
A state senator died during the ses-
sion, and a committee was appointed
Ito accompany the body back to the old
home of the decedent. Two of the
committee met in the state house that
afternoon.
"Are you going to take this trip?"
asked one.

The time to fight mice is when your
house is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not a crurnb
of food is left exposed In kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that in
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where a
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next~thing to do is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this Is done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork. AS a final you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
in your house was formely only an
act of slothful neglect, it Is now n
of the crimes of wastefulness, of
which no patriotic woman should be
guilty.-Exchange.

Fuel Gas as Petrol substItute.

The shortage of petrol, as gasoline
is known abroad, occasioned by the
quantities needed on the
battle fronts, has resulted, in England,
in the Introduction of a fuel alterna-
tive. In England the use of motorcy-
cles for private use necessarily came
to a standstill when the gasoline be-
came acute. But it Is reported that
mo~torcyclists there soon discovered
that coal gas would serve just as well.
A gas container in the form of a bal
loon is hoisted on steel supports
above the machine, giving the whole
outfit the appearance of a zeppelin
pup.
They are popularity termed balloon
bikes" and are said to operate much
more cheaply on coal gas than on gaso-
line. The possibilities that might re-
suit from a meeting between this new
contraption and n good broadside gale
can only be imagined, but there would
undoubtedly be no lack of thrills.-Ex-

Town Burns; 1000 sheep Poisoned.

'e~H SutHeg iboOO onCcP FoteoncUs
Fairplay, Colo.-Five hundred of a
flock of 5000 sheep belonging to Har-
old Chambers of Hartzell were dead in
the pens Saturday morning when the
herders entered to car for them. Dur
ing the day about 500 more died, and
the evidence is that the animals were
poisoned. Saturday night, after work
ing all day. the flock masters believed
they had overcome the epidemic and
will be able to save the others. Mr..
Chambers believes that the sheep
were poisoned. This Is the third loss
of the last two weeks, and has caused
considerable uneasiness. Friday night
Alma, a small mining town near here,
was almost destroyed by fire. Two
weeks ago the haystacks at a ranch
near this city were burned by fire
from a cigarette, and the owner be-
lieves the fire vas started with intent
to destroy his hay and farm buildings.
These three losses are blamed upon
a coterie Of !. w. W. here, especially
as the owner Of the farm property be-
heves he has traced the destruction of
his hay to n Of them.
