Remarkable Mountain Of Sand.

In the great desert regions of the
Southwest there is remarkable
mountain of sand. The behavior OF
It mystlfied the early settlers who In
the days of 40 followed the old trail
from Yuma to Los Angeles. The noun
tain was constantly changing form.
The first pioneers mentioned 1t to
their friends rs a landmark by which
they might guide themselves on their
way. into the new country, but 1t
changed its appearance so rapidly that
laaay Of them failed to recognize 1t,
wandered from the trail and were lost
b The desert.
People discovered later that 1t was
the strong winds that from time TO
time sweep across the desert that
made the mountain act In so queer n
way. When the wind blew 1t shifted
loose sand from one spot to another
built new domes and pinnacles and
destroyed others, until within short
time the whole mountain presented an
entirely new outline against the sky

ROCKS THAT PUZZLED DARWIN
Great Naturalist Could Offer No Ex-
PLANTATION Of Peculiar Land OFF
South American Coast.

TO the average reader the name of
st. Pau's Rocks is unfam The
average geography and ma make no
mention of st. Paul's Rocks They are,
of course, unnhablted he little
known island or rather group lies one
degree above the equator and $40
miles off the coast OF South America.
In the entire breadth of the Allan
tic there is probably no land so re-
mote. The Rocks measure only about
1,400 feet in length and some 700
feet in width. There is no harbor
worth the name the only entrance be-
ing a narrow inlet but few feet In
width. AS far as the records show,
1t has only been visited two or three
times In the last so years.
The most famous visitor ITO the
Rocks was. doubtless, Charles Darwin,
who landed there and made mi
mute Investigations. His descriptions
of this visit is contained In his book
on volcanic islands. Darwin decided
after careful investigation that the
Rocks were not of volcanic origin.
They lie much too far south to have
been part of the fabulous continent
Of Atlantis. In his report Darwin
says that the island was composed OF
rocks unlike any he had ever seen,
and adds that he was unable to char
acterize them by any name.

"a Little Learning"

one of the young women Knew moth
ing about football and knew she knew
nothing; the other knew nothing about
football and thought she knew some
thing. The result was that the couple
caused endless amusement among the
spectators sitting near them. When
the girl who thought she knew some
thing had given tons of Inaccurate
information to the girl who knew she
didn't know much the latter pointed
to the field and asked:
"What are thosef"
"What, dear?" replied her compan-
ion. "Do you mean all those little
fgures?" They're men, of course"
mo, MOI mean those posts stuck
In the ground
And she pointed to the goal posts.
"Well, fancy you not knowing what
they arew exclaimed Miss Knowall
"Why, they're football fixtures"

PoIItIeal MISUNDERSTANDING

Political Advertisement.
As d matter Of general interest and
in recognition Of the fact'that one Of
our countymen is seeking political
honors at the Democratic primaries
in June Of next year. The Exchange
is publishing a brief pen sketch Of
G. II. Russell, who is and win be a
candidate for the Democratic nomis

year.
II was past the meridian Of the
last century we don't know just
what time, but Russell is old
enough to remember distinctly thc
famous earthquake Of So that the
subject Of this sketch first saw the
light OF day in Montgomery county
His entrance upon the earthly stage
was not unlike thousands Of others
Of that day. His early boyhood was
crowded with events more or less
important. and chief OF which he
remembers is going fishing, rabbit
hunting, working on the farm, with
now and then q month or two at
free school. AT the age Of 1S years
the family moved to Randolph
county,
Up TO this time the young man
had enjoyed only the most desultory
advantages of education, and it was
not until he had attained his ma
jority that he had opportunity to
attend creditahie school. Then for
five months he studied under Prof.
o. c. Hamilton at the YaGkin Min

vile, in Stanley county. The, next

kill Bismarck. and did he fire the pistol
with that object? Was the deei pre-

his guilt to both. The public PROSECUTOR

BROKEN GLASS
A True Detective story-copyrighted.

When Sergt. John F. Brennan of New
Ycrlz's police force reached Sixty-ninth
street and Park avenue shortly after the
accident which caused the death of John
McHugh, he found practically nothing
which could come under the head of "ev-
idenee''
McHugh, 1t appeared, had been driving
along In Light buggy, shortly after
dark. An automobile, speeding from be-
hind, had struck the buggy and smashed
1t to bits, killing McIEAgh instantly
Apparently the only living witness to the
tragedy was the horse, but, as Brennan
said, there's no way of maxim a horse
talk"
So the sergeant set to work to collect
what bits of evidence he could gather
from the surrounding street.
Caught on one of the spokes Of the
buggy wheel where it had evidently been
torn off by the force Of the collision, was
a nickel plated lamp rim bearing the
name of the Ham Lamp Company Ro-
chester, n. Y" That, and a sman frag-
ment of automobile tire about three
inches In length, appeared to be the
only results of the damage the autono-
bile had suffered,
But Brennan figured that as the lamp
rim had been torn from It's socket the
l.alS u lnc lamp NOuiu HdtuIdiiy IldN e
been shattered, so he set to work to pick
up the bits of glass, When he returned
to headquarters that night he brought
with him an envelope containing twenty
one pieces Of glass, together with the
nickeled rim. the buggy spoke on which
It had caught and the Jagged piece torn
from the automobile tire.
What are you going to do with that
iunlx?" inquired his associates on thn
force. "If Sherlock Holmes had had
those he could have told you the make
of the car, the complexion Of the man
who was driving 1t, the license number
and how many gallons of gas there was
was in the tank-but, outside Of a book,
what good are they9"
maybe none az ALP admitted Bren-
nan, 'ebut If you'll use some brains when
you look at 'ern you'll note several things
that may be of help in locatin' the car
that killed McHueh and then drove off
into the night I never did take much
stock in the Sherlock Holmes stories

can solve a problem that You know the
answer of-but here's one case in which
I think that his deducin' theories will

SHOULD BE KILLED.

Pointed and outspoken Is Postmaster
General Hays in expressing his eqpod-
ton to the provision which has been In
jected into the postal bill whereby news
papers would be prevented from publish
ing racing news. 1t was a matter about
which he was not consulted and In his
opinion 1t would be preferable to defeat
the bin II 1t is impossible to kill other
wise the effort which is being made to
strike at the freedom Of the press. Mr..
Hays says There has been a strong
tendency in that direction of late and I
am sure it is essential that such tenden-
cy be checked"
There can be no question but what
there Is need of placing a check upon
gambling whatever the form. The de-
sire to stop the indulgence in gambling
on the races is commendable but the
prevention OF the newspapers from pub
fishing race track news would not stop
the practice. There Is no end to the
ways in which those who want to gamble
can indulge their desires. There are lot
terry schemes and cheating devices
against which the proposed Legislation
can stand as a corrective measure with
ouL interfering WIN legitimate business
and the publication Of the days news,
hut when the attempt is made to legis-
late that the newspapers cannot be sent
through the mails when they publish
news connected with horse racing, there
Is an effort to strike at the freedom Of
the press which may well provoke strong
opposition, and particularly SO when
such restriction would not stop the
gambling.
With the postmaster general going on
record in OPPOSITION to the provision
there Is furnished support to the stand
which has been manifested by the news
paper publishers to such a law to which
there will be no limit in it's application
since gambling on baseball results. the
number of advertisements in the paper
or countless other things can be carried
on with quite as interesting results as
with the racing news. It is not for the
postmaster general to say what the SEN
ate should do hut there are good and
sufficient reasons why it should elimi-
nate that section of the proposed legis-
latiOn.

and then tell him he cannot enter, or
after he has entered put hm out.
While the restricted immigration law
is limited to definite period 1t lie not
improbable that 1t will be continued or
that the restrictions may be increased.
There Is a feeling that there should be
q reduction in the number admitted each
year, but whatever may be done In re-
gard to the extension of the existing
regulations or the adoptdon OF perma-
nent law there seems to have been suf-
ficient cause shown for the cuf1ing of
the aliens before they leave the other
side.
This should apply to al for 1t Is quite
as bad for those who possess some de-
feot which makes It Impossible for them

meet the literacy requirements or those
who are undesirable in other respects

Is for those who happen to te In excess

TIMBER PRODUCTION,

In view of the conditions through
which We have been passing 1t might be
expected that most anyone, with the c,p-
portuniy in front of them, would bs
anxious to earn a dollar or MANY dol
lars. Te; from the pleas that are con-
stantly being made there would appear
to he no mad rush to do so on the ma
Of considerable number who possess
the know how. having the chance and
the natural facilities.
This appears in connection with the
forest production in this country. Re-
peatedly has it been stated by those who
are supposed to be in close touch witt
such facts that We are using IND our tim
bcr supply much faster than We are pro-
ducing new trees, and that if our forest
lands were Kept in the continuous pro
cuctlon Of timber the needs Of the coun-
try could be met for all time.
It is to be realized that there are great
wastes Of lumber and an even creator
waste Of standing timber through forest
fires. But there are opportunities for
preventing such losses and likewise in
overcoming them by the utilization Of
millions Of acres which are now idle and
producing nothing but weeds for the
growing of timber producing trees.
such is of course nothing new. Eff
forts have been undertaken for wears 70
develop the proper amount OF interest in
such a direction. We are rapidly reduc-
ing our woodland and there should be
recognized the opportunity for securing
profitable results through the reforesta-
ton OF cut over land or the employment
OF waste land for growing trees that will
In a generation yield handsome returns.
The idea Of at least replacing woodland
that Is bound or cut over ought to get
much greater attention.
