ray spread the note on the bar so that Jack could see what 1t was. A smile half mischief, half kindness, stole over the face of the millionaire.
 Fifty ,cents," he unused, "Christ- mas night! Take this instead," he added quietly, as he handed him the note instead of the fifty cents" y
 Jack hesitated long enough to blow great cloud of smoke from the per fecto. eff it's all the same to you Mr. Murray, I'd rather have the 50 cents. '
 After Murray had attested to the truth of the story, he asked Jack if he remembered the time he half shaved him. Jack said he never could forget it.
 "Jack was barber once," contin- ued Murray, although he doesn't con tribute much to the profession now. | went into his shop in Philipsburg one morning some 40-odd years ago to get shave. He had lathered me and had taken few swaths off from one side, when the fellow who preceded me handed him a ten-dollar gold piece. Jack had no change, and so he left us both and hurried across the street to saloon in which, as was customary in those days, faro game was progressing. I may mention that nobody could play. faro faster, with both hands, than our friend, MT. Jones.
 "We waited at least 10 minutes and Jack did not return. Then the man who was waiting for his change left, and five minutes more passed, but no Jack in sight. I took a towel, mopped off the father and crossed to the ss- loon. Here sat Jack at the faro game, half concealed behind stacks of chips, red, white and blue. l
 q guess you'll have to finish that shave yourself, MT. Murray he said. I'm involved in a little transaction with my friend Brocky,' holding at the dealer.
 l" A big crowd had gathered around the table and from one of them I learned what had happened. Jack threw down the ten-dollar piece on the layout, intending. to get change The coin landed on the queen The dealer made the turn and the queer won. He brushed in Jacks ten and passed hi mtwenty dollars in chips. It was too much for Jack. He sat down in front of the chips and went to it. ,/
 q finished the shave myself and Jacks shop remained closed for a couple of days.

GOATS USED IN
 TESTING GASES

How goats were used to test poison ous gases made for the army during the world war, is described and illus trated in the October issue of, the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. Large herds were purchased by the govern ment, and the beasts were kept at plants where gas shells were manu- factured. In making the tests, a few goats were placed in trench, and a gas shell was exploded near them. Immediately afterward, they were killed and their lungs examined to as- certain the effects of the poison. Us- ing this information, experts compiled tables to indicate the number of shells of certain strength necessary to eX- plode in a given area in order to ob- tain the maximum results.

HOLLOW WHEELS
 CARRY BALLAST
 FOR TRACTOR

When a farm tractor needs addi- tional weight, logs and stones are gen. orally piled on the frame. A more orderly provision is made by new machine, which stores sand or water ballast in it's hollow wheels. The two main drivewheels and the large idlers will hold a good many hundreds pounds of extra weight. Instead of being rigidly connected to the frame, the large idler wheels are hung on spiral springs inclosed in iron cylin- ders. The tractor has no differential, and is steered with planetary gearing which throws all the power onto one tread or the other.

WHITE TAILED DEER . COMMON IN ARIZONA

Joe V. Prochaska has taken issue with a statement which appeared in a recent issue of Field and Stream, a sportsman's journal, to the effect that there are no white tailed deer in Ari- zona. He has written a letter to the publishers protesting the statement and demanding, that proper correction be made.
 In an article on the white tailed deer, Dan J. Singer, noted authority on American game, inadvertently, or with intention of giving Arizona a black eye, makes the statement:
 "The white tailed deer exist, or did exist in every state of the Union, with the exception of Delaware, Oregon, Nevada, California and Arizona" " "The fact of the matter is," said Prochaska, "that probably there are more white tailed deer in Arizona than in any other state in the Union, and I would like to have the opportunity of proving it to the author of th;s article"
 "White tailed deer are so plentiful in this state that the people have them as pets and ornaments for their grounds. I shall be pleased to take him out to the home of Edward Sin ger of .910 Central Avenue and show him some splendid specimens of white tailed deer, as we'll as black tails. I have issued at least a dozen certifi- cates to other residents of the state permitting them to keep white tailed deer on their premises"
