First Sjuht Of q Piq,

Along the hard. dry, wlnd-swept road
I'm a suburb came a drove Of pigs-a
most unusual spectacle in London Of
recent years. From the by-streets the
children Of the poor came hurrying to
see, and 1t was clear from their COM
ments that many Of them had never
seen pig before.
Look, LiZerw cried one Of the
smallest among them. Look. there's IA
piebald one"
Course there is, stoopid." said Lizer,
who was clearly well versed in natural
history. "Where else do yer think

HELD IN MOCKERY
Kangaroo Courts" Instituted by
Australian Convicts.
PRISONERS at Botany Bay Said TO Have

no'ony OF Their Existence
Spread to United States.

kangaroo court is an expression
n"'ch' however strange II may be to
lhe iayman. is familiar 10 most United
states marshals, post office inspectors
ana the police forces of large cities.
remarks writer in the Detroit News.
"hat II really stands for is explained
10y post Office inspector who has had
much experience with Offenders and
criminals.
IL appears that in a number of the
larger prisons in this country the pris.
ohers, from time to time. are accus.
toned to hold what they call kangaroo
court ana that every notorious GRIM
maj In the United States is probably
not only familiar with the term. but
mas no doubt presided often enough
as Judge or prosecuting attorney in
this relation, or perhaps has been tried
lor some OF the numerous mock
charges that are preferred against
ulose who have the misfortune TO be
nailed before such n tribunal.
Such a court Is held only I'm the
great prisons OF the country. being
ehtlrely unknown In the country jails.
The institution OF kangaroo court
seems TO date back some 40 years I'm
the United States.
In the days when Australia was a
penal colony the convicts at Botany
lay, by way OF amusing themselves
and relieving the monotony OF prison
life, used TO organize q sort OF mock
court ut which the shrewdest and oft
en- the worst criminals Of the lot pre-
sided as Judge, while others acted rs
Jurymen, prosecuting attorneys, bail
IFS, criers and the like.
At such trials the prisoners were
wont to take on recent arrivals from
England on all manner of mock
charges, such as snoring too loudly.
washing their faces with soap. and so
On. If ii was found that among the
batch OF newcomers, convicts 1ust
from the old country, there were sey-
oral whs possessed money, court was
immediately convened and the ones
suspected Of having funds were hailed
up sn the charge OF having red hair Or
wearing bsI-toed shoes.
The trial was held with mock rravi-
ty and decorum, aud In the end the
prisoner would be found guilty and
Aned whatever amount he was known
to have On his psrson for the Ofrsn,e

Clans On The Wing.

How do YOU account for the fact
the little pond on the old home farm
that for years didn't have a sign of a
clam has of late been swarming with
them :" asked my friend. the North
Dakota pioneer.
How do you account for p" | re-
piled.
well, there's one way" he said and
pointed ahead 10 flock of cranes
milling round and round in an aerial
Quadrille.
But what do those cranes have 10
do with the CLANS in your pond ," |
asked in some wonder.
well. Jim Harrington tells me that
one day. when he was watching a
hork of cranes circling over a little
slough, he noticed little plop of water
close beside him, as if somethin,
rather heavy had dropped into it,.
When the ripples cleared away he
could see clam on the bottom"
Why, of course" said. "a crane
naa been carrying it. They say some
BIRDS carry shellfsh up into the air and
drop them TO break the she'll"
guess a crane could more easily
hammer clamshell to pieces with its
oeak," said the old man dryly. But
years ago found a clam in my barn
yard. How did it get up there OF
that knoll, half mile from any water p"
Perhaps he was an old clam and
had started his travels early in life ?"
| suggested.
well, he'd finished his career, for
he was dead, with the under side of
his shell caved in"
Then he must have arrived by the
air route"
He came on wings all right, but
think by choice. The other day Swan
Anderson shot into flock OF mallards
going over his field; and when he pick
ed up one of the birds, what did he
lind clamped to one Of its toes but a
good, big fresh water mussel-alive
OF course. I've arrived at this con-
c!usion: a clam often travels from
one pond TO another by aeroplanc so
to speak. They say the clam has an
ear in his foot. When he ovcrhears
flock of wading birds all he has to
do is seize foot or leg When of
goes the crane or the duck. off goes
Mr.. Clam, too; and since he can
easily live out OF water for several
hours, il he keeps his shell shut, he
can safely allow himself to be carried
a GCOd many miles.
"lf he hangs on, he's pretty sure to
reach fresh pond, for the bird must
alight in water during its flight.
Then Mr.. Clam can let go. II the
traveller be Mrs. Clam, with a lot of
fresh eggs, pond may become a we'll
established pearl fishery in short
time"
"Then you think Jim Farrington's
clam had sense enough to know that
water was beneath? Was 1t tired Of
hanging On, or dizzy with the merry
go-round motion?"
"a don't know" laughed Mr.. Pioneer.
"At any rate, after learning that a
clam has sense enough to grip a water
birds toe and get free transportation
to a new home, think we should stop
using the expression, AS stupid as a
clam don't you?"

HENRY REDWINE KILLED
(Continued from first page)

The tragic end of MT. Henry Redwine is one of the saddest deaths in the history of Will Hams. He was the sole support of his aged mother and was also supporting three of the children of his sister, Mrs. Boehnke. Without his hands to toll for them. his mother and the children will be left almost destitute.
 An account of the life of MT. Redwine will appear in the News next week.
 MT. Redwine's sister and oldest niece have been sent for and will probably arrive to- night.
 c. B. Wilson was in Williams on legal business this week.

 At Blackstone, Va, the home demonstration agent and the

 which promised to send 12,OOO rodents into the rat hereafter.
 When the final count of rat tails
 was taken it was found that
 3O,OOO of, the pests had been
 killed in the one town.
 At Fargo, N. Dak.,. the citi-

 ed a very successful campaign
 against the pest. In this in- stance the poison, barium car-

 With the progress of the United States Public Health Service in the treatment of the age-old scourge, leprosy, by the use of chaulmoogra oil, pecul- | far interest attaches to a pack age of seeds recently received by the Bureau of Plant Indus try of the United Department of agriculture.
 The seeds are those of a tree known as Hydnocarpus anthe1- minticia, and were sent to the department from Bangkok, Siam, by pr. J. F. Rock. of the University of Hawaii, who was sent to Siam by body of sugar planters and isnow in the plant service of the De Ii partment of Agriculture. True chaulmoogra oil, whose have been more or less recognized in leprosy treat ment from early Asiatic history is obtained from the seed of a rec known as Taraktogenos K Kurzii, which grown in Burma. in the latter part of he last century the, attention of was attracted to 8 other trees whose. seeds yielded ! similar oil.
