Bees Faster Than Pigeons.

A farmer in Westphalis laid wager
that twelve bees of his, released at a
distance OF three miles from their
hives. would travel as rapidly as a
like number of pigeons over the same
course. The first bee, properly pow
dered for purposes of Identification, did
arrive at its hive a quarter of minute
before the coming of the first pigeon
TO its cote, and there were three other
bees that came in before the second
pigeon arrived.
a curious form of race is some
times INDUCED in in Indis-the Noah's
Ark race. At one recently run near
Calcutta a goat proved the victor over
an elephant and a horse, the latter
being a bad third.

the snail contests, which in normal
times are held in certain parts of Ger

DISCOUNTED WITH u. S.
GERMANS co TO MEXICO
Colony Established in Texas Seventy
Years Ago Moves Across
Border.

Disgruntled because of the outcome
of the World war and dissatisfied with
prohibition, several hundred Germans
have established colony in Mexico, a
short distance south of Del Rio, Tex.
The colonists are for the most part
from New Braunfels, Tex, typical
German community that was started
about 20 years ago by band of po-
litieal refugees from the fatherland.
II was about a year ago that the men
who founded the nucleus of this Ger
man colony went to Mexico where they
had purchased large tract of land
out of the famous San Carlos hacienda
which is owned by Lorenzo Tevino.
This land is under irrigation and is
said TO be ideally situated for agricul-
tural and pastoral purposes. New ae-
eessions TO the colony are being con
stantly received.
One of the first and largest Of the
industrial enterprises that are planned
for the colony is brewery. 1t is
stated that this plant is now being
constructed. The colony is in the cen
ter of rich wheat growing country
and -four mill is to be built to care
for the home production of the farm
ers.

Texas, the new colony, which has the
name of Brsunfels, promises TO be-

People beyond The age of middle life

an indisputable fact that by keeping
the liver active and the digestive or

order, old age can be deferred and life
prolonged far beyond that enjoyed by

years faithfully and successfully served

Cuban Women Seldom Appear in

nading men. The Cuban believes as
firmly as the old Spaniard that the
woman's sphere is strictly behind the
grill of the front window, and with few
exceptions the women agree with him.
The result is that her interest in life
beyond her own household is virtually
nil. The woman's suffrage party of
Cuba recently issued a pompous mani
festo, but il seems to have won about
as much support as would a missionary
of the prohibition movement, In the
words of the militants of the sex in
Anglo Saxon lands, '"the Cuban woman
has not yet reached emancipation.
The clerks, even in shops that deal
only in female apparel, are almost ex-
clusively male The offices that employ
stenographers or assistants from the
ranks of the fair sex are rare, and
these usually recruit such help in the
states. Except on gala occasions it is

He said that they did not want to
give him hearing, fearing publicity.
Herzog denied that he had ever been

heard Benton say he had won $500
by betting on Cincinnati in the world

White Sox.
The affidavits, as announced, SAID

thrashed the matter out with Benton
and Herzog. finally declaring that the
whole thing should be dropped and
kept quiet.
