Lizards House Pets In Siam,

Lizards live In houses In Siam. Just
as rats and mice do here. Some in
teresting facts are told by George Pratt
Ingersoll, former United States min.
'ster to Siam, Among the Siamese
yards Is large one known as the
'toh-ke," or tOkay, about foot long
aavlng q black body, sometimes with
white stripes, ugly, bulging eyes, and
short, clumsy legs.
The tOkay is not pleasant to look
upon. but Is In no way dangerous. and
will run away when disturbed. as rap
idly as his uncanny body and legs will
allow him. The tokay crows with a
hoarse, Internal voice quite loud some
five or six times, followed by a rattle
or fiendish chuckle. These large liz
ards are found throughout Siam in the
thickly inhabited cities as well as In
the uncultivated districts.
The lizards are harmless but no
one rejoices In their company, even
the Siamese. who, from their Buddhist
training and teaching are kind to all
living things. So when tokay is dis
covered In a house the Chinese serv-
ants are called. and they fly, with
sticks and with glee, to the attack, and
usually succeed In dispatching the
reptile.

Female Trees.

After nearly twenty-five years of ar
gument and discussion about the
abatement of the cotton nuisance,
the city commission of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, has ordered the cutting
down of all female or cOttOn-bearing
cottonwood trees within the city
limits.
A large proportion of the shade
trees of many western cities are cot
tonwoods, writes Aldo Leopold In the
American Forestry Magazine of Wash
ington. The individual trees are of
two sexes and the female trees bear
annually a most prolific crop of cot
ton. which acts as mechanical irri-
tant to sufferers from hay fever, and
which during the months Of June and
July lltters the streets, screen doors
and plastering with 'unsightly masses
of soiled cotton.

IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the Pioneer-0ther

The American Library Association,
in announcing its Books for Every
body" movement, which Is to be nation
wide in its scope. advises and urges the
extension Of the county library system
as solution Of the problem Of supply
ing good literature 10 the rural dis
tricts. Its intention 10 to persist Ia
advocating the nationwide adoption
Of the idea as successfull, applied In
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one of the 1894 counties In the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments OF good books are
being made from the central point In
the county TO the designated outpOsts.
California stands out as the highpoint
in the successful application of the
idea or the IS counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system nj trifling cost This 1t urges
as part OF its enlarged program which
aims to promote better citizenship
and to combat the social and industrial
unrest through the teaching of Ameri.
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside OF
the hig cities will be called to the al
tention of those IN position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting Of library
building and the stocking OF its shelves,
In many cases the tools already exist.
From this central station books wilt
he loaned TO designated outpost sta
tions. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county TO
the country stores, tollgates, post Of
fees, schOolhouses and private homes.
When one shipmen, has been cfrculat.
ed and returned another will be sent
out. Also, in communities of any size
In the county, branch Libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with its 1000 active librarian men,
bers and It's 40 years of practical func-
tioning, is In position to know the
needs of the country and In the fight
for wider knowledge is force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure Of $2,00O,OOO There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rians, library trustees and friends OF
libraries. The movement for better
citizens and a well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every

Trail Of Tragedies.

The old overland journey from Ed.

trail of tragedies. A weather-beaten
skeleton of an old wagon of the prairie

and only fragments of the wheels re,

rugged Lizard river country. On
piece Of tattered canvas that once had
been the wagon cover, printed in black
paint In letters foot high half ef-

were the words "Klondike or Bust"
Many stories are told by old-timers
OF the argonauts who found tragedy
Instead Of gold on the north trail
which began at Edmonton. Thou

Ing the Klondike rush. They outfitted

ed the greatest store In western Can

thrown open all its lands to farm set

on the fur trade and general merchan-
dising, big modern department store
rises on the site Of this ancient EN-
porium In the heart of Edmonton,
Turning their faces toward the Yu-

an untracked wilderness of forests,
muskegs, mountains and mighty riv-
ers. OF the thousands who started
only q few ever reached their desti-

to civilization by way of the British
Columbia coast. Still greater num-
bers were swallowed up In vast un-

From time to time In succeeding
years the bleaching bones of the ad-
venturers who followed their dreams
over the rim of the world, the bat

the wrecks Of wagons and pack sad
