Magistrate Neff is at dagsers points

This police district is in the Twen

have gained notoriety in gambling ex

Rat Heroes.

From Paris comes the news that the authorities are making war on rats. But the despised rat once did he French good turn, according to Colonel Repington's history of the war. He says: "On the parapets of the front trenches are what look like window flower boxes. They contain chemical materials for making a smoke screen to lift the German gas when 1t comes. All the rats in the trenches congregate round these smoke boxes when the gas comes, as they realize that they save themselves from suffo- cation. This process of lifting the German poison gas was discovered quite by chance. During a gas at tack some straw was set on fire by ac- cident and forced the German smoke up. The rats came in swarms to squat round the burning straw and gave the French the hint"

WONDERS OF AMERICA
O, Western Newspaper Union.
THE HOOKER OAK
By TT. MAXEY

IN BEAUTIFUL 2.3O0-acre Bidwell l park which, by the way, is one of the largest natural-wooded- parks ill the country, in the little city of Chico, Calif0rnia-som 1S0 miles northeast of San Francisco. there is Il giant White-oak tree which is believed to be the largest of it's kind in the world.
 This ponderouS monarch of the for est was named after Sir Joseph Hooker, the noted English naturalist, who. in 1877. after q clos" examination and considerable study, pronounced il to be larger than any of the Wondrous oaks for which England WaS famed.
 This great tree k more than lo0 feet high and it's circumference eilht feet above the ground is 2S 4-10th feet. Its longest branch extends aWay from the trunk for 105 feet From north to south its branches spread an even POO feet. The greatest cir conference of it's outside branches reaches the astonishing figure of al most 100 feet.
 Students of freedom from near and far have come and tried every means known to science to coax this mas sive oak to whisper the secret of it's tremendous size and unusual age, but it merely waves it's branches in the gentle breeze and seems to laugh at them. So, the best they can do is to estinate it's age The consensus of opinion is that it has been on earth well nigh 1,oo0 years.
 General William Tecumseh ,Sher man. of Civil war fame. gave it as his opinion that an army of 1000 men could stand within its shade at high noon.
