Kicked Himself to Freedom.

Prisoners of war have had many
thrilling adventures in their attempts
to escape across the German frontier,
but it would be hard to find more re-
markable story than the following, told
in a Dutch paper: Four British es-
caped prisoners of war, one french
man and seven Russians arrived at
Oldenzaal, besides two German desert
ers. An amusing incident took place
in the case of one of the Russians.
He was seized by the German sentry
when in the act of crossing the from
tier, and in the course of the ensuing
struggle threw himself on the ground.
He fell half way on Dutch and half
way on German territory. The Dutch
sentry came to his rescue and tried TO
pull him across by the shoulders. The
German pulled at the other end. When
the Russian found that the Dutchman
was helping him he started kicking
with all his might, with the happy re-
suit that he was safely pulled onto
Dutch territory.

Mexico an Indian Country?

1t is of Importance to inquire into
the attitude taken by the southern
Indians of Mexico toward the official
Spanish civilization, says the New Re-
public. If it is difficult for an out
slider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred of
the SpaniardS it seems self
evident of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern In
dians the Spaniard and his successor,
the Spanish-speaking~ Mexican, is the
cruel alien conqueror. They feel that
they are Indians and that Mexico is
an Indian country. For instance, one
of the common objections to MaderO
encountered in OaXaca was that he
was not an Indian and that the presi
dent of Mexico should be an Indian.
This attitude is significant, and it is
not strange to find even a northern
Indian like Huerta proudly eXclaim-
ing: ''Yo SO indiana" CarranZa'S lack
of popularity in the south is not so
much due to the fact that southern
Mexico is the home of Diaz as to the
fact that Carranza is not an Indian.

the legend. eve sell sausages to the

The next day, over the way, appeared
the sign, eve sell sausages to the gen
try and nobility of the whole coun-
try" Not to be outdone, the rival put
up what he evidently regarded as
final statement, namely: "We sell sau-
sages to the king" Next day there
appeared over the door Of the first
sausage maker the simple expression
of loyalty, "God save the king"

Piece of Fir SIS Years Old.

The forestry office at Portland, Ore,
received from one of the Washington
rangers a specimen of Douglas fir
known to be 515 years old. The tree,
when 125 years old, fell to the ground,
where a cedar tree took root in the
log and grew undisturbed for zoe
years. The cedar was recently cut in
to shingle bolts, and the specimen of
fir was found in it's root. WoOdsmen
can tell accurately the age of tree by
the number of rings shown in the
trunk stump when the tree is felled.
The fir specimen is sound, and is
thought to be the oldest of it's kind In
existence.
