~ last Sunday night, Nosey
followed gentleman of
color into that restaurant at
35th and Indiana which does not
want colored patrons. He was served
by the foreign looking waiter with
poor grace and this lack of proper at
tention seemed to peeve the gentle
man. He arose, paid the cashier and
then proceeded to "bless out" the
whole Greek race. He did his work
well and did not stop there but pro-
ceeded to look in all of the Greek
restaurants in the district and told
them what was going to happen to
them and their restaurants if that
man at Indiana Avenue kept up. his
attitude towards colored people. -
These restaurateurs covered before
the fiery announcements of this
black Demosthenes and let him have
his say. The gentleman gradually got
tired and could not find any more
Greek restaurants and he settled
down in one of the good old cabarets
for the rest of the night and appeared
in very good spirits.

curieu. Andsan ksxhols..

A curiosity of the Andean villages
are the doors of the houses, which are
hard to open and hard to close, but
which, despite the i%ntricacy of the
locks, admit the air freely on all sides.
Harry A. Franck describes one such
door, writing in the Century Magazine
Of the town OF San Pablo, Colombia:
THE keyhole was in the shape of a
swan. Others in the town and all
through Narino have the form of q
man, horse, goose and a dozen other
ludicrous shapes. These homemade
doors of Andean villages never fit cas-
lily, and their locks always have some
peculiar ~idiosyncrasy of their own, so

to unlock the door of his lodging with
out native assistance he Ia ready to

Notorious Stock Thief Captured.

The hide of a giant grey wolf trapped
recently at the Riverside ranch and on
exhibition at Laramie, is said by trap
pers familiar with peculiar markings
of the animal, to be that of the mate
of Two Toes" a famous female wolf
caught about 1S months ago, after n
career of destruction which cost stock
men of the Laramie Plains many
thousands of dollars. The two wolves
were unusually intelligent and cum
ming and long defied all efforts to trap
them or run them down. The hide on
exhibition at Laramie measures six
feet six inches in length, and is larger
than that of 1.-TWO Toes" The male
was caught in a trap set by Rattle

The "M.ke Believe. Of EIower..

Cyclamen like to pretend they are
cross little animals with their ear laid
back. or else that they are little fugi-
tive maidens fleeing very fast across
the meadows. with their hair blown
back from their lovely faces. Their
whimsical trick of play acting like this
is all a part of their quaint mirth.
They have, of course. other attributes
rs well-beauty and spirituality and
love. Love ! feel with flowers particu-
larly. l seem to get hold of that x.
quisite sense of the whole worlds be-
Ing wrapped in the essence of Gods
love more often through flowers than
through anything else. They are to
me indescribably dear, merry little
companions. My affection goes out to
them constantly in a deep, happy rev.
erence. The reverence Is not only for
the lovely little things themselves, but
also for the wonder that is back OF
them-an ecstasy Of worship.-Atlan.

"There seems to be some misunder-
standing among the taxpayers of this
district regarding compensation paid
other than i'll cash. says l.. \. Miller,
collector Of internal revenue for the
district of Wyoming. where services
money. the fair market value of the
thing taken in payment is the amount
to be included as income. For ex-
ample. if an employee received wages
and board and room, the fair value
of said board and room should be re-
ported as income in making up his or
her income tau return. Another eX-
ample is where compensation is paid
an employee of Il corporation In stock,
which is to be treated as if the cor
poration sold the stock for Its marse,
value and paid the employee in cash.
Il desire to call the attention of all
st0ckmen md ranchmen of this dis
trict that the records of all commission
this office will shortly have n complete
record of all sales of live stock and
wool made during the year 1919.
Il would also suggest that tax re-
turns be filed at the earliest pos
sible date in order to avoid the severe
penalties which are prescribed by law
and which are as follows:
For failing to make return on
time. which is March 18th, 1920, the
penalty is not more than $ 1000, ana
in addition, % per cent of the amount
of tax due.
For making II false or fraudulent
return. the penalty is not to exceed
$4,000 or not to exceed one years
Imprisonment, or both, in the dis
erection of the court. and. i'll addition,
80 per cent of the tax evaded.
For falling to pay tax when due,
or understatement of tax through neg
ligence, the penalty is ) per cent of the
tax due but unpaid, plus interest at
the rate of i per cent per month dur
ing the period in which it remains un-
paid.

revenue department will be ut the
Wolf Hotel, Saratoga. tomorrow and
Saturday to give assistance to all
who desire it."

A RUNAWAY HORSE.

Use Your Hat and Your Head, u Is
Said, and You Can Stop Him.
The observer of people ana events
wonders how many people have the
slightest notion as to how to stop d
runaway horse. An old farmer III an
adjacent state was coming home the
other morning when he heard u terrific
commotion behind him and. when he
turned. saw a horse racing toward
him in a frenzy of fear. III the spring
wagon was a little boy OF six or SCI en-.
and behind the swaying vehicle was a
gray haired man-evidently the child's
grandfather-chasing the runaway.
In an instant the farmer was out in
the middle OF the road with his hat
whisked off his head, both arms gyrat
ing in wide circles. The hat did the
work, for the farmer told folks after.
ward that his mother had told him
that a horse would always stop at the
sight of a hat being whiried directly in
front of 1t. The animal came to a stol
within a few inches of the farmer. whc
stood his ground. 1t was the work of
a few seconds to calm the %quivering
animal, and SCOT the grandfather came
up. He threw his arms around the
rescuer and fairly wept for JOY.
Next time you see a runaway Dobbin
coming your way don't forget to use
your hat-and your head. Columbus

years automobile registration.
The states which lead Wyoming are
California, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Iowa, Montana and Minnesota. In
Wyoming there is one automobile to
every S.S persons. In California there
is one to every 81 persons, and the
other states run between these two per
capitas.
1t is also a noteworthy fact that the
newer states have the most cars. All
the states of the west, the northwest
and middle west are at the head Of
the list, with the older states, includ-
ing those on the Atlantic s%eaboard, the
New England group and the southern
states, at the end Of the list. New
York is thirty-fifth on the list, and
Texas is tw%enty-fifth. Mississippi
holds last place, with $4,000 automo-

saecharin Not a Substitute for Sugar.

Shortage of sugar bringing saccharin
to the front as n substitute has caused
the American Bottlers of Carbonated
Beverages, the national association of
soft drinks manufacturers represent
ing h largest and most progressive
makers of beverages, to offer concert
ed cooperation to the u. s. Department
of Agriculture In its fight against the
use of this chemical in soft drinks.
Plans for making this cooperation eff
fective are being discussed at n meet
ing of the executive board of the asso-
citation in Washington this week.
Saccharin. n coal tar product which
Europe was forced to resort to during
the war as n sugar substitute, has no
food value II he bureau Of chemistry
of the Department Of Agriculture de-
clares it is detrimental to public health.
While it is used by comparatively few
bottlers in this country, its e%xtraordi-
nary low cost compared with the cost
of sugar, works for unfair competition
with those manufacturers who are en-
deavoring to market soft drinks of the
highest standard and appreciable food
value.
The use of saccharin is regarded as
an adulteration under the Food and
Drugs Act, and its use in beverages
Is prohibited in many states.

Skating Advjee.

Don't skate very heavily clothed, ex-
cept in extremely cold weather.
Don't skate until exhausted and over
heated and then stop to rest in the cold
wind; that means a bad cold, some
times pneumonia.
When an overcoat is found an In
cumbrance wear a paper or fiber vest;
1t will protect the back and chest from
the wind.
Don't try to skate in low shoes or
buttoned boots.
Don't wear extra high laced shoes
and do without straps, IL possible, as
both hinder the freedom OF the ankle
and stop circulation.
Always breathe through the nose. 1t
may be difficult at first, but after a lit
tie practice it will be easy.
