age, is the latest discovery of excavators In
the lime pits at Torrance, near Los Angeles.
Other interesting finds are tusks from the
saber-toothed tiger, sharks teeth, side bones
of whales and bones of animals OF gigantic
proportionh. An ancient weapon of stone,
unearthed with the horse tooth, weighs ten
pounds. It's sides are hollow, presumably for
the purpose of fastening to it spliced sap

Inquiries from all over the United States
testify to the general interest in the relics
discovered at Torrance, according to DR.. G. L.
Edwards, scientist, who has the articles on
exhibition in Los Angeles.

estimated to be at least 100000 years old

stating them to be of great value in amassing

Wilhelm on Wilson

"Wilson should be kicked out" was
the former German Emperor's comment
on the note of the then American Secretary
of State, Robert Lansing, in reply to Pope
Benedict's attempted peace mediation in the
summer of 1917.
This revelation is contained in a brochure
issued by Phil p Schedemann, former Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, in which the So
cialist leader reviews the efforts of the Vati-
can to halt the wa. The former emperor's
/ .arginal comment on Mr.. Lansng's commun-
ication
''Wilson must give up the notion that he
can make of the German people what he
wants to make it. He must take it as it is.
Neither the nation, the army nor the kaiser
will accept the Wilson peace of understand
ing Wilson should be licked out"
Scheidemann accuses the old Administra-
ton of dilatOry treatment of the Pope's note
and with ambiguity and equivocation in the
conduct of the negotiations on that occasion.

Gold i'm Scotland


Rumors of gold discoveries in Scotland are
renewed, but so far there have been no rush
es to spots where finds are reported.
That the precious metal is to be found in
that country has from time to time been
shown by discoveries in Kildonan, Suther-
landshire and Lanarkshire, but the quantity
seldom has been equal in value to the cost
of extracting it.
Gold thus far has been found in alluvial
deposits, but the miners believe that a gold
bearing reef exists somewhere in the coun-
try, as pieces of quartz containing gold have
been picked up at different times.
In past centuries, notably the fourteenth
and fifteenth, gold was found in Lanarkshire,
sufficient to make crowns for monarchs, and
bowls, sometimes empty, sometimes filled
with coins minted from the same souSce, were
presented to foreign and friendly sovereigns.
There a rush to Kildonan in the COS
of the last century and some hundreds of
prospectors flooded the district
The present gold rumors come chiefly from
the Lowther Hills, in Lanarkshire, where for
'onturies lead mining has been the occupa-
tion Of the villagers of Wanlockhead and
.eadhills. In ancient times the district was
'Inown as Goods Treasure House." because
"~"idorable quantities of gold were discov-
ereds there.
f or some months wage dispute has made
the miners idle, and they have spent their
time in the burns and holows searching for
gold, washing the soil in wooden troughs and
occasionally finding gold in small quantities.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.


"No, I didn't mean to be cross" re-
peated the scarecrow, who you remember
in the last story had frightened Puss Ju-
nior's friends, the little bear and the
monkey, as well as the pig who had been
carrying them in his little dogcart.
well, I suppose now III have to 60
on foot to Lollypop Town." said Puss, as
the pig in his dogcart disappeared down
the road.
Its only a short way from here" said
the sCareCrow. Il sleep there every night
and in the morning l come out to this
field TO keep the crows from scratching
up the lollypOp seeds And then the
scarecrow put the helmet back on his
head and turned to go. Come with me
if you wish" he said to Puss. I'm off
now for LOllyPOp Town" So Puss fol-
lowed him down the road, and as they
walked along the scarecrow sang:
"Oh, the lollypops grow all along in
a row,
Red. white and blue and pink;
But before they are grown, when the
seeds are first sown,
] can't sleep, not for even wink
Well pretty soon after that they came
to LollypOp Town and the scarecrow
asked Puss to spend the night at his
house. And in a few minutes they came
TO a little house, made of pasteboard,
which looked just like a big candy box.
for on the front was painted the picture
of a pretty girl eating a lollypOp.
And just then the door opened and a
pretty girl came out. And, would you
believe it, the picture on that little house
was just like her.
This is Mrs Scarecrow," said the
scarecrOw with a bow Isn't she the
prettiest little woman you ever saw?

on the house. Aud sometimes when I get
home and find that she's gone to the vii

the hammock and look at her picture and
say to myself, My boy, you're lucky
scarecrOw! -"
Don't talk so foolishly, Jim Crow"
sadi his wife with a laugh and a blush,
which Puss thought made her prettier
than ever.
Yes, she calls me Jim Crow" said
the scarecrow, although my first name
is John. and not James" And then he
kissed her and ratted Puss on the ear.
for he was "A mighty nice kind Of a scare

many people in Lollypop Town wondered
why she had ever married him. But
then, that's what people always do, 30
I'm told even in Brooklyn and HOboken.
Well after that pretty Mrs. Scarecrow
took them into the little rasteboard
house for supper, which she had cooked
all herself, for she was so fond of her,

to work for him.
And perhaps that's the reason be loved
