The Middlewest tournament came
to a close Monday night at 6 o'clock
with the St. Francis Hotel of st.
Paul champions in the team events
with 1886. H. Schaefer and r. Mein-
hardt of St. Louis. leaders in the
two-man event with their score of
1888, which is the associations rec
ord. An Omaha roller, Tommy At
kins. is the individual champion
with a 600 score. Jimmy Smith, the
crack Milwaukee bowler proved his
class by winning the all-events by a
score of 1860.
High class and sensational rolling
featured the entire tournament. Con-
ditions were ideal for a successful
tournament, more so than for any
previous Middlewest tournament.
Every bowler, both local and visit
ing, is we'll plased with the splendid
way the tournament was handled.
The officials, Association Secretary
NJ. Locker, Local Tournament Sec
rotary Harry Edison and Assistant
Secretary Frank Jarosh, were on the
job all the time and handled the
tournament with the highest de-
gree of efficiency.
President MEME of the Middle
west association was here during the
entire tournament acting in his ca
pactity of executive head.
The alleys were in the best pos
sible shape and the pins were the
most lively ever rolled against ac-
cerding to the opinion of many vet
eran tournament shooters.
The visiting entry was the best
ever and only few teams short of
the local entry at St. Louis three
years ago.
The prize list was second only to
that of st. Louis three years ago
and only few dollars at that.
The class of the bowlers entered
this season is the best, that ever
participated. Never befofe has such
collection of stars been together
in one gathering in SO short

WONDER Ar FORESTS. QUIET
Travellers Have Frequently Com
( snented on Apparent Deficiency OF
III Animal Life In the Woods. ~

Z ~. h4.a ~ o - =.
!, European travellers frequently allude
to the Amed forest as remarkable
for its solitude and deficiency OF anil
NAL life. A foreigner is struck with
surprise, when rambling through the
bush, at the scarcity Of birds, rabbits,
and hares and astonished when IN the
3deepest recesses Of the wild country
he sees no increase Of their numbers.
When padding his canoe through lake
and river he will startle but few pairs
Of exceedingly tlmid waterfowl, where
in Europe they swan in multitudes.
This scarcity Of animals, I would re-
mark, is not peculiar to the American
wilderness. The same fact has been
observed In extensive forests both IN
Europe and Asia; and in proportion as
the traveller penetrates into their IN
teriors he finds smaller number OF
animals of almost every species. Birds
insects and quadrupeds will multiply
In a certain ratio with the progress OF
agriculture, so long as there remains a
,sufficiency Of wild wood to afford them
a refuge and q home. They use the
forest chiefly for shelter, and the open
grounds for forage; the woods are
their house, the meadows their FARM

to a depth Of one-eighth inch with

is then pressed down by loading with

method involves the use of q solu'

+ A careful student, Of the i rodent

illustrates the sagacity Of the rat than
the way in which 1t eats an egg. It
bites through the shell and chips OH
small fragments as neatly as a squir-
rel opens a nut, consumes the en-
tire contents without splitting a drop
and then sits up and licks itself clean
like a cat Rats will steal the eggs
from under a setting hen. Their
method of handling eggs is also char
acteristic. An egg is as large for 2
rat as barrel is for a man, and
much more fragile. Yet there is evil
dence of the fact that they pass eggs
along from one to, another, although
not probably, as has often been re-
ported, by forming long lines, like q
bucket brigade The operation Is nat
urally a difficult one to observe, but
apparently it takes two rats to each
egg. One holds the egg in its paws,
passes, 1t on to the other, and then
runs ahead to take it once more in It's
turn. The same device seems to
be employed to carry an egg. down

"old King: Cole"

- The first reference to odd King
Cole, the merry old soul' of the Ia
nous nursery rhyme, was made in q
book written by DR.. William King, who
was born in 1888. 1t is probable that
the song was composed in the seven
teenth century, although some investl-
gators think it much older. Halliwell
identifies the merry monarch with
Cole or Coel, semi-mythical king Of
Britain who is supposed to have
reigned in the third century. The Scots
also have an "Old King Coul," :, said
to have lived in the. fifth century.
Freeman and other historians say a
King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth
century. There are many who assert
that the reference to the pipe indicates
that Old King Cole lived at a period
after Raleigh had introduced tobacco
into Europe, but this does not neces-
sarily follow, as a pipe might mean a
musical instrument -
