Exterminatinu Pests.

Uncle Sam employs approximately
300 professional trappers and hunters
to assist western stockmen in exter-
minating wild predatory animals from
the range country. These hunters
have killed 70,713 predatory animals
in the last three years, which has re-
suited in direct saving estimated at
nearly 5k million dollars year to
the stOckmen of the Rocky Mountain
section. The total kill consisted Of
60,473 coyotes, 1904 bobcats, 1929
wolves, 201 mountain lions and 1877
bears. The pelts of the animals kill
ed were sold for approximately $780,,
600, which, of course, is of consider
able aid to the government in financ-
ing the work. In addition to animals
killed by trapping and shooting, great
numbers of coyotes have been killed
by the carefully organized poisoning
campaigns conducted by the biological
survey. ....

General Muir" Comes With Breast
Shattered as Result of Many ..
Exploits.

New YOrk.-With breast shattered,
but still alive, General Muir, one of
the greatest war heroes, returned re-
Gently. AS the steamer pulled into
New York harbor, General Muir sat
on the deck wrapped in a blanket
that bore several wound and service
stripes. There was no perceptible
sign that he realized where he was.
He made no comment. g, ~
Reporters tried in vain to interview
him. Sergt. Fred J. Hermann, His
commander, did all the talking. You

been sent out to intercept carrier
pigeons and delivered the message In

With his breast torn open, with his
wings singed by fire, and eyes blind

reached his objective. 4.l-
King Cole, another pigeon, Is the
nearest rival of General Muir for
fame. He was a messenger in the
last Argonne drive and flying through
a cloud of gas fell into an abandoned
trench. There he lay in the mud for
two days, and gathering strength,
arose, and came home with the mes

"POKER FACE" HAS ITS USE
Ability to Hide Emotion Will Ere
quentIy be Found of Value in
Game of Life.

Princeton is about to send ZIG grad
yates out into the world. Some OF
them are whimsical young fellows, as
would appear by the way they filled out
missionaries which asked them,
among other things, what of most value
had been received by them in their col
lege course. One reflective senior
avowed unblushingly that it was his
allowance" For others, checks" "a
poker face" "the art of bluffing,'
"learning how to loaf scientifically"
weres their acquisitions of highest
worth.
The value of no one of these can
be galnsaid, for most lives bring emer-
gencies when any one OF them may
be of the highest use. There are
some who may be skeptical of the ad-
vantages of the ''poker face" Yet who
can doubt the value on occasion of a
poised, impassive, imperturbable coun-
tenance which gives no slightest hint
of the hopes and fears it masks.
"A physiognomy under complete con-
troll is almost essential to a diplomat,
and this ability TO hide emotions be-
hind a changeless exterior goes far
to give the japanese ENJOYS the repu-
tation of being the best poised states
men. Countenances which light up
with emotion are more attractive.

KNOWN AS WlTCHCRAFT TOWN
Old Salem, Mass, Has Never Been
Able to Live Down the Much ~.
DIsliked Name.

Salem is na@nally known as the
witchcraft town of history, a title
which 1t has been trying to live down
for 200 years. Fortunately for Salem,
the terror Of witchcraft inquisition Is
fading from memory.
Invariably the visitor comes to Sa-
lem with the idea of witches firmly
fixed in his mind, but the only evidence
of their existence that ne can find Is
tiepin bearing tiny witch astride a
broomstick. Besides buying witch
adorned souvenirs, which Salem pro-
vides to meet the demands Of visitors,
there are other ways of satisfying
witch-huntinS ambitions.
To a person already keyed to high
pitch by vague recOllectiOns Of witch
days Salem on frosty moonlight
night seems to slip back a century or
SO into the solemn superstitious little
Puritan town, where one must think
several times before making the most
casual remark lest it be construed as
evidence of friendly dealings with the
devil.
Over by the cemetery the tombstones
Of the witch accusers CLEAN ghostly in
the moonlight. 1t seems plausible that
any of those venerable judges Of 1902
might glide suddenly into view and
stroll with dignity down the street
or that Mistress Sarah Good or Eliza

ly if it was your ancestor that labeled
her witch.

EASY TO SEE ONES BRAIN
Scientist Asserts That All That Is
Necessary Is Candle and
Some Perseverance.

"Have you ever seen your brain?"
is not such an outlandish question as
one might suppose. In fact, it is quite
possible to see ones own brain, accord
ing to DR.. Fraser Halle, says London
Tit-Bits.
Many years ago Purkinge startled
the scientific world by announcing that
by passing candle to and fro several
times by the side of the eye, this might
be done. The air in front, he declared,
ON which was reflected what he sup
posed to be magnified image of part
OF the retina.
This started a research movement
among the scientists Of the period, and
controversy began.
Sir c. Wheatstone thought the pro-
fessor was slightly out of his bearings.
BE declared that what the latter had
seen was merely the shadow of the
vascular network. .......
Then Or. Fraser Halle returned to
the attack, and stated that he had sue
ceeded In identifying the picture with
the representation Of the anterior lobe
of the cerebrum."
The candle should be moved to and
fro about four inches below the eye
and three and quarter inches from
the face. If the movement is suspend
ed, the image disappears. Night is
the best time for this experiment, but
1t can be seen family, in any dark
place even in the daytime.

Real Cop Lines Up
With Five Dummies

New York.-Critics Of the po-
lice department will always say
bad things, but it took "one. of
the finest" to deliver the I'M
kindest cut of all. ..-. .... .-...
Exactly what will happen to
this patrolman for his reflection
upon his fellow members of the
force is not known, Sut last night
he was still holding down his
new job in the bureau of uni
forms at. headquarters.
In the office of the bureau
there are five clothing dummies
all fitted out with respondent
uniforms. The initiated work
ers in the place have learned by
long experience that these dunn
mics are not members of the
force, but the new man entered
the place unwarned.
There stood the five dummies
as If at attention, and being I'M
able to discern the difference
between them and real cops the
new man fell right into line and
assumed the same attitude,
After holding this position for
about five minutes he nudged
the next dummy and asked:
''How long do we have to keep
this up?"
In reports of the, matter the
patrolman's name was deleted,
for the police are strong believ-
ers in secrecy nowadays.

DOGS ONCE WERE W0RSHIPED
Custom Practised in Many Countries
In Past Ages-Ethiopia Had
"a ~.-a One for a Monarch.

Dog worship spread from Egypt to
many other countries, where it took
different forms. The Romans sacri-
feed dogs to Anubis to the lesser dog
star, Procyon; and to Pan, and the
Greeks made similar offerings to- pro-
pitiate Proserpine, Mars, Hecate and
other imaginary beings Of whom they
stood in fear, says National Geographic
Magazine. %.-..r
Plutarch says: "The circle which
touches and separates the two hemis-
pheres, sand which on account of this
division has received the name of
horizon, is called Anubis. 1t is rep
resented under the form of dog be-
cause this animal watches during the
day and during the night"
Out .of-this idea it seems there arose
two mythical Onages-Mercury, or
Hermes, and Cerberus, the three-head-
ed dog supposed to guard the gates of
hell.
But there were humbugs even in
those days, and they humbugged the
dog worshippers even as charlatans
often humbug Christians today. Per-
haps the limit of deception was prac-
ticed on a certain nation in Ethiopia,
