pletely demolished. The door
struck Mrs Gather on the lower
limbs, badly bruising her The ash
es and broken glass struck her in

Was it ouija board information
or a tip from Ralph Ely that led
the democratic legislators and in
dependent ticket makers into a
blind alley when they wired "here's
to you" to Hoover? No response
has ever been announced by the
senders of that telegram from san
ia Fe. Maybe the silence at this
end is due to the hurried trip or
Senator Jones secretary to New
Mexico to steer the errant right, by
the tip that McAdoO is ticketed TO
get the New Mexico support in the
nominating convention.

"SIIOO Fly"

A horse fly lit on the old cows skin
Hung his tools and spudded in:
He bowed his back and jiggered
his pole
And all the time was making hole.
The cow browsed on in her usual
way
TIL the hoss fly's bit dropped into
pay;
Then she swung her tail with a
vicious dig
And deftly skidded the hoss fly's
rig.

ONLY RELICS OF LOST RACE
Network Of Canals All That Remains
of Early DweIlers in the
Arizona Deserts.

Nv far the most interesting remains
OF the lost people Of Arizona are their
network of canals which prevail
through the valleys. The longest Is
the one tapping the Gila river ana
which supplied with water the ancient
city. now marked with the one stand
ing building. This is the Casa Grande.
about which so much has been written
and which has so excited much inter-
est among archeologists In the last ten
years.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense,
for II supported millions of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand, but its course Is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Maricopa canal made use of the
old Aztec ditch and today water runs
over its pebbly bottom just as II did
1000 or 1900 years ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravageS of time. Phoenix was
built on the ruins of this ancient city
and there relics frequently are found
of this ancient civilization.

Early Meeting Houses.

The earliest New England meeting
houses were built in valleys and
meadow lands, much the same as the
first Old First church in Springfield,
for here 1t was that the homes were
located. For time 1t was required
that all homes should be built within
half a mile Of the meeting house, for
the most part to afford protection to
the settlers. since the building did
duty as fort as well as house of
worship.
As tile population increased and new
settlers came into the villages the half
mile radius became too crowded TO
permit this to continue. 1t was neces-
sary to go some distance to pasture
the cattle and for this reason the law
was Cancelled.

attention of our readers to the two

which it serves. Mr.. Houghton is a

of his firm in Clio is undoubtedly due
to his enterprising methods. We

COULDN'T FACE TIE UNKN0WN
Antics OF contortionist Saved Him
From Hungry Tiger When Other
Escape Was Impossible.

1t is related that a native OF india,
who had learned some of the elemen-
tary principles of jugglery and contor-
tion, put his knowledge to a decidedly
practicable as well as novel use one
evening when he was walking upon a
ridgy plain.
When the Hindu had reached the top
of one of the mounds he saw a tiger
ahead of him, 500 or GOO yards away.
Before the man could hide behind a
mound the tiger had seen hims and be-
gan to bound toward him at its top
most speed. Having no means of de-
fense there was nothing for the man to
do but to race for the nearest tree, but
though he tried 1t and put forth his
utmost strength the tiger steadily
gained on him.
What was he to do? In sheer des-
peration he resolved upon an unusual
scheme. Just as he disappeared for
an instant from the tigers sight in
running over ridge he halted,
stretched out his legs at right angles,
curled down his head so as to look be-
tween his legs to the rear and extend
ed his arms upward in a fantastic
manner, like the sails of windmill.
In few seconds the tiger hove In
sight, and at that instant the face of
the object assumed "a hideous grimace.
A prolonged yell arose, such as had
perhaps never before pierced the ear
of any tiger, and the sails of the wind
mill began to revolve backward and
forward. as If sudden whirlwind had
burst upon the scene.
The tiger recoiled. What. he evil
IDENTITY thought, Is this? There stood
ferocious star-shaped monster, gigan-
Ntic against the sky. It's vise-like jaws,
between which those fiendish roars
were issuing, were actually placed
above its two fiery eyes. Its limbs
were furously clamorlng for action
and the man he had been chasing,
where was he? Already devoured by
this terrible beast. The tiger did not
pause to reflect. He turned tail, and
as ne disappeared over a friendly
ridge last awful yell caused him to
redouble his pace. He was conquered
by the unknown.
