John P. Watt of Maple Grove, with
some of his friends, went to the
Worlds Fair last week The Midway
Plaisance furnished strong attractions
to the party and to John in particular.
One of the most curious features of
this congregation of side shows is
the street in Cairo. This Watt took
in and bestrode one of the dorkeys
which are let out for hire. A donkey
is as self willed as he is lazy and the
one on which John was mounted went
through the crowd with true donkey
obstinacy. John couldn't hold the
brute as he was busted in tucking up
his legs to keep them from trailing
on the ground The donkey made
for the gate and the Musselmans
thought sure Watt was running off
with the brute. A whole army of
Bashi-Bazouks and turbaned Turks
gave chase and there John was,
heading the procession of oriental
heathens just as if he was one of the
gang giving a performance for the
delectation of those who had paid
admission. John Dswore in English
at the donkey and his pursuers
swore at him in the language of the
Prophet. The crowd which kept
lodging John so as to avoid collision,
were showering oaths on "that tall
Turk and his mule" John was caught
at the gate and he threatened to lick
the whole heather village for giving
him such a stubborn brute to ride.
If the village has a correspondent the
papers of Cairo will give an account
of the attempt of dog of christian
to steal a donkey from the faithful.
The work of fixing up the court
house for the occupancy of the county
officers, is in progress. The old wash
room is torn down, the cell walls are
removed and the building will soon
lose its Jail like appearance. The
register Of deeds and county clerk
will have quarters in the rear Of the
first floor and the county treasurer in
the fore part. The county judge and
clerk Of the court will occupy the
second floor; jury rooms will alec be
located there.

TOOK TIME TO GREET BABY
President Wilson Not Too Busy to
Welcome Youthful Caller at the
White House.

President Wilson laid aside grave
wal problems for a brief half hour
the other day to shake hands and chat
with the youngest visitor ever received
by him at the White house, says the
Washington Times.
Usher Hoover announced to the
President in his library that Mrs. VIII
son would like him to go down to the
Blue room to e a young man she was
greatly interested in.
On reaching the parlor the president
was presented to little Gordon Gray
son, the ten-week-old son of Admiral
and Mrs. Gary Grayson.
"What a fine little fellow" said the
president as he reached for the tiny
hand and shook it heartily.
Baby Grayson, although only ten
weeks old, seemed to realize the honor
of being the youngest visitor of Presi-
dent Wilson. He didn't cry once. Just
smiled and cooed, which Is considered
very good form for a baby on a first
visit. The baby had NJ official bust
ness with the president, just wanted
to let him see how cute he looked in
his new dress, and how much he had
grown.

Wood Withstands Quakes.

The ability Of wood construction to
resist severe shocks and strains again
was demonstrated in the earthquake
that destroyed Helmet and San Jacinto,
CAL, a few days ago. Telegraphic re-
ports from Helmet say that "the Vos-
burg hotel, a frame structure, with
stood the shock, while it's brick neigh
bors fell fat"
Lumbermen point out that there is
nothing peculiar in this. On account
of the toughness Of it's fiber and it's
resiliency, wood can stand many a
twist and jar before 1t breaks or loses
its shape. A wooden building will
"give" without injury to itself and then
resume it's original shape. At the
worst, in case Of an unusually severe
earthquake shock, it might be twisted
out of shape a little but would not
crumble or collapse. Brick buildings,
on the other hand, have no elasticity.
The brick and mortar of which they
are constructed are brittle, when COM
pared with wood.
The reports from California, the lum-
bermen declare, merely go to empha-
size the ACCESSIBILITY of building Of
wood in districts subject to earthquake
shock.

SHOOTING scRApe AT 1oNopAH

Tonopah Times: James Cusick,
superintendent for the Halifax Min
ing Company, was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded at II o'clock cleo
ton night by Alex D. Mckenzie, who
was employed as an engineer at the
mine. The shooting occurred in
front of the Bandbox barber shop on
Main street, where the men had been
standing for several minutes before
Mckenzie fired. Mckenzie who is
chairman Of the Nye County Repub-
lican central committee, was former
ly chief Of police of Tonopah and has
been a resident of the camp since it's
early days. Soon after his arrest
Mckenzie was locked up in the coun-
ty Jail. Mckenzie. when asked by a
Times reporter why he had shot
said: II have nothing to
say"
A later account states that Cusick
was resting easy and would probably
recover.

FORTS HOUSE MACHINE GUNS
How the Greatly Dreaded "PIIl
Boxes" First Devised by Ger.
mans, Are Managed.

It used to be thought that the Bel
gian forts of armored steel and con-
crete, almost completely buried in the
ground, would hold out against any
artillery. But when the Germans
brought up their great howitzers and
hurled undreamed of quantities OF
high explosives on these forts, they
broke and crumbled to pieces, writes
A. Russell Bond in st. Nicholas. Then
1t was predicted that the day of the
fort was over. But the machine gun
has developed a new type Of warfare.
Instead of great forts mounting huge
guns, we now have little machine-gun
forts, and they r far more trouble
some than the big fellows. To the Ger
belong the credit for this type
Of fort, which consists Of a small con-
crete structure, hidden from view as
far as possible; but commanding some
important part Of the front. "Pill
boxes" the British call them, because
the first ones they ran across were
round in shape and something like a
pill box in appearance.
These pill boxes are just large
enough to house a few men and a
couple Of machine guns. Concealment
is Of the utmost Importance; their
safety depends upon it. Airplanes are
particularly feared, because a machine
gun ~emplacement is recognized to be
so important that a whole battery Of
artillery would be turned upon a sus-
pected pill box. It Is claimed that
some pill boxes are built with turrets
that rise out Of the ground. Normally,
they are completely buried and COW
cred with turf so that no one would
expect their existence. During the
bombardment preceding a charge they
would remain hidden and only a
chance shot could put them out OF
business. When the charge took place
the elevating mechanism would be OPP
Grated, and out Of the ground would
rise the miniature fort, ready to halt
the advancing soldiers.
