ALL SETTLERS DEFENDANTS.

That the petition of the plaintiffs In
the case of Robert Rayl, ct al. VS.. the
Twin Falls Land and Water company
is allowed to stand, by order of the
United States district court at Pocatel-

involves the validity of liens under wa

In the order, which excerpts only par

these relating to desert holdings, the
court requires the plaintiffs, represent

Inasmuch as the case has been pend

Bulldogs Made Ferocious.

Bull-baiting at times ranked as the
national pastime of England and
countless scores of dogs met their
death to provide a diversion for the
British public. Even royalty favored
the ..sport," although during the last
100 years of it's existence patrons of
the bullring comprised exclusively the
flower classes" The bravery of the
bulldog, cultivated during centuries of
active service in the bullring, natural
ly became deeply inherited. Owing to
the dogs occupation and surroundings
he acquired savageness of DISPOSE
ticn which prompted one authority, as
recently as fifty years ago, when bull
batting, which had long been made
illegal, was long since over, to state
that the bulldog had an intractable
temper and that he would turn on his
master, if offended, as readily as on
a stranger.

Sport in Haiti.

Boosters that crow night and day

IS the way William Almon Wolff de-
scribes Haiti's only fowl of any inn
portance, in an article in Golfers. In
addition he accuses them of not being
educated, ''like the mass of the popu-
lation,' and Of being ignorant of the
fact "that cocks business is to let
an unobservant world which wouldn't
notice the phenomenon itself, know
that the sun has risen" 'When it
comes to cock fighting in HAITI" Mr..
Wolff writes, ''the rooster plays a very
important role. Sunday afternoon Is
the great time for that" he says, "and
all day Sunday you may see sporting
Haitians going about with gamecock
or two under their arms. There are
two rings in Port au Prince thousands
OF men gather there every Sunday at
ternoon and bet on their favorites.
Haitian cockfghting is not very bru-
tai affair; the birds aren't spurred. It.
is the custom for the owner of the los
ing rooster to cry quits before much
damage is DONE"

When the Sun Was Blue.

A blue sun has been recorded ONLY
once. That was in August, 1889, in
Java, says the Kansas City Star A
day or two before there was very vio-
lent eruption of a large volcano about
hundred miles from Batavia. The
eruption ended with an explosion in
which range of mountains was de-
stroyed, a vast cavity being left in it's
place, more than a thousand feet deep
at one point. Billions of tons of rocks
mud and dust were thrown high in the
air and the sun was obscured over a
large area. At Batavia the darkness
became so deep that street lamps had
to be lighted in the middle of the after
noon. That condition prevailed until
toward sunset. Then the volcanic
cloud began to- clear away, leaving the
sun visible. Instead, however, of 1t
being red, as it usually is when view
ed through a smoke cloud, it appeared
as magnificent deep blue disk, re-
naming that color until it sank he
low the horizon. The phenomenon
was seen by everyone within 80 or 40
degrees of the equator.

CAME DIRECT FROM HEAVEN
corning the Origin of the Beau. !
tiful Emerald.

Scientists say that the emerald'S
lovely grass-green color is derived from
a compound of silica. alumina, beryllia
magnesia, soda, water and some organ
fc matter unknown; others say that
1t is simply compound of carbon
and hydrogen resulting from organic
matter; but the ancient inhabitants Of
India knew better than the modern
scientists. They believed the emerald
came from heaven.
Says Forbes in his "Oriental Me
mOirs::" "A person was watching a
swarm of firefiies in an Indian grove
one moonlight night After lowering
a time in the moonbeams, one particn
lar freely, more brilliant than he rest,
alighted on the grass and there re-
manned. A spectator. struck by il
1tixity and approaching to ascertain
the cause, found not an insect, but an
emerald, which he appropriated ana
wore in ring, and ever after the In
dams believed that the fireaies were
sacred insects which upon dying on the
grass turned to emeralds for the adorn-
inent of man and the glorifcatiOn of
Buddha."
That is perhaps the reason why the
PRIESTS of Buddha regard the emerald
with such generation. OF course no

NOT MERELY FISH STORIES
Showers Of Sea Food From Sky Are
Authenticated, According to
Magazine Writer.

Next time some one tells you Of its
raining fish and frogs, don't laugh; the
story may be true. There is, for in

that showered smelts all over STAN
stead parish in merry England, says
Popular Science Magazine.
In Baton Rouge, in 1896, it rained
ducks. catbirds and woodpeckers.
We pause right here to say that sci
entists explain these showers by the
lifting power of the wind and the an
Gent principle that what goes up
must come down; and you never can
DC sure what is up.
Getting down to 1917, John Lewis of
Aberdale, Wales, reports: 81 was

Birds Hold Dances.

Many of the birds of South America
have the regularly formed habit of
meeting periodically in the same place
for the purpose of dancing. Some sing
SIS they dance, others accompany the re-
frain by something very like instru-
mental music. The rupicola dances
alone, says the Detroit Free Press.
Birds Of this species range themselves
in a circle round level, messy or soft
ground, and one of them, bright with
orange and scarlet plumage. leaves the
circle and advances to the center of
the space with the dignity of a cour-
tier dancing a minuat, his wings
spread and tail like fan. He begins
slowly, gradually increasing the speed
of his gyrations until he terminates his
performance by leaping and whirling.

GOES BACK TO ANCIENT DAYS
Expression Concerning Fires Of Faith
and the Torch of Religion Traced
to Fire Worshipers.

my faith is like burning flame"
many martyr has said when he was
being sorely tried. II may carry the
torch of the true religion forward" is
ar expression so often used that it
seems almost trite Is it an accident
that many of the most fervent religious
phrases are connected in one way or
another with the fire-image?
One Of the curious customs of Lithu-
ania gives clew to the answer to
this question. Religion and faith are
expressed in fiery terms because most
Of our ancestors were fire worshipers.
The tradition has outlived pagan
ism, has come into Christianity itself,
and remains most plainly evident in
the language we use when talking Of
religion.
In Lithuania family councils are held
only In front of the hearth. All impor-
tant gatherings are connected with
the fireplace. The fire is never allowed
to die out. It is the duty of the old
est woman in the family to tend to the
fire, to cover it with ashes at night
and to revive it in the morning.
Why the Oldest woman rather than
the oldest man? Because in pagan
days the attendants of the sacred fires
were always women, the vestal vir-
gins, whose lives were devoted to that
one task.
When we speak of the fires of faith,
therefore, or of the torch of religion,
we are barking back to the ancient
days, the days when fire was faith and
. religion torch.

FEW OWE FAIL uRE TO FATE
Man Who Has Lost Out" Generally
Unjust Ia Blaming the Fact on
Circumstances.

! =
He who is bitter is beaten. This Is
distilled from life," said wise oh.
server of his kind, writer in Philadel-
phia Ledger remarks.
Often one meets the man who has
become soured by his own life through
b bis own fault-thongh he blames it all
on the CHANGES and circumstances OF
destiny.
He will not admit that the hand of
bad habit dragged him down or
kept him from rising; that he made
n'isstep or took the wrong turn of
the road.
He prefers to charge impersonal fate
with his personal failure.
But he had the same right to strng.
gle and win that we all have. The
man whom he regards with envy had
to prove that the stuff was in him
against odds.
The old proverb says that fortune
favors the brave-but that saying
really means that fortune plays no ia
'vorites and confers her gifts only upon
those who fight, and fight hard.
Success is not hereditary. We must
qualify on our own merit Any fool
can inherit money and be parted from
it quickly. The respect of the com
r'unity, which is life's chief reward,
goes to him who earns it on his own
account. In that continuing effort the
fragrant memory Of noble family ira
dition and pious and honest par
entage is valuable asset and a great
