Many years ago the granite obelisk
that stood sentinel before the palace
Of Rameses Ill, at Luxor, for more
than thirty centuries, was taken to
Paris. Its erection in the Place de la
Concorde was marked by a fine ex-
ample Of civic courage. 1t had been
brought from Egypt by the engineer
Lebas in a river boat specially con-
structed at Toulon, to navigate the
Nile and the Seine. This boat was
towed through the sea by a warship.
When the cables used in raising the
obelisk were strained almost to break
ing Lebas placed himself under the
enormous stone as 1t began to move.
If single cable had broken all would
have been over with the engineer. Elk.

was to show the crowd of onlookers
that he was sure of his calculations.
A single error and he would have been
crushed, and he preferred tragic end
to dishOnor. 'This," said LIE Cri de

interviews and Lebas occupied only

Few American wild animals are
more widely known or excite more
popular interest than the raccoon.
which occupies most Of the wooded
parts of North America from the
southern border of Canada to Panama,
with the exception Of the higher noun
tain ranges.
Their diet is extraordinarily varied,
and includes fresh-water clans, craw-
fish, frogs, turtles, birds and their
eggs, poultry, nuts, fruits and green
corn. When near water they have a
curious and unique habit Of washing
their food before eating 1t. Their fond
ness for green corn leads them into
frequent danger, for when bottom-land
corn tempts them away from their u.s.
ual haunts raccoon hunting with dogs
at night becomes an especially favored
sport. Raccoons are extraordinarily
intelligent animals and make interest
ing and amusing pets.
RaccoOns began to figure in our
frontier literature at an early date.
"Coonskin" caps, with the ringed tails
hanging like plumes, made the favorite
headgear of many pioneer hunters,
and "coonSkins" were a recognized
article Of barter at country stores.
Now that the increasing occupation Of
the country is crowding out more and
more Of our wild life, it is pleasure
to note the persistence with which
these characteristic and interesting
animals continue to hold their own In
SO much of their original range.

The Witness for the Defense.

One Of the pleasant evidences Of the
possession Of riches is in the luxury
of a private car. Although Colonel
Illingworth was personally a man of
simple tastes as became an old cam

Artie Hoffman Relates Instances Of
ldiosynerasy of-Former Leader
Of Chicago Cubs-How He
Called Pitcher Richie.

The conversation in a Chicago fam
ming bee turned to Frank Chance.
"There was a great fellow" said
Artie Hoffman, former utility star Of
the Cubs. II used to travel around
with him, keeping tab on our players,
three or four times q week.
"One night Chance was lOafing in the
lobby and insisted on my remaining
with him to keep him company. We
were all supposed to be in our rooms,
by eleven O'Clock, but we sat and sat
and sat. Finally 1t got to be half past

the platform, as they turned about the
temporary station and storehouse, be-
fore them rose the bridge. The moon
was rising over the high hills that
sprang up from the steep clifflike bank
of the other side of the vast river.
They saw her round, red, full face
through an interlacing tracery of steel
The lower part of the bridge was still
in deep shadow. Indeed. the moon had
just cleared the hills of the opposite
bank of the great gorge cut by the
broad river flowing swiftly in it's dark
ness far below. At the farther end Of
the suspended arm extending far over
the water the top Of the traveller glis-
tened. The cantilever on the opposite
shore, incomplete and sunk under a
high rise of sand, was still in shadow
and not get djscernible.
Unwittingly the woman drew little
near the man. He became more con-
sciOus than before of the light touch
Of her hand upon his arm. 1t was very
still where they stood. The shacks
of the workmen had been erected be-
low the bridge about q quarter Of a
mile to the right along the banks Of
the little aff1uent of the main stream.
They could hear faint but indistin-
guishable noises that yet indicated hui

The fires in the machine house and in
the engines were banked. Lazy curls
of smoke rose to be blown away in the
limitless areas of the upper air. In the
darkness all the unsightly evidences Of
construction work were hidden.
"Oh," said the woman, drawing a
long breath, 81 don't wonder that you

The CotSWoIds.

The Cotswolds are another example
of the variety Of natural scenery that
England succeeds in packing away
within her narrow seabarred bcun-
daries. Here, within three hours of
the largest city in the world, you can
walk in complete loneliness, over a
grassy road that follows the route laid
out by Roman engineers, with tum-
bled skyline Of real mountains on your
right, and sweep Of empty fields
falling away to the left. You can take
tea in an old Roman villa, where the
tiled courtyard is still smooth and
tight; you can sleep in an inn that has
apparently not changed its habits or
its bill Of fare since the days Of Rich.

Played Third Base.

Allan SothOrOn, the st. Louis Ameri-

on April II, is former Juniata col
lege lad and was discovered by Prof.
Charles Kelchner, coach of the AL

scout for the Browns. Kelchner saw
Sothoron play third base in a game
between Juniata and Albright, at
Juniata, in 1911. The same year Soth-

saw him work in game at Lebanon
Valley. The scout was highly ina

year got him professional job in the
