MINER Is
PAWN To TWO
COUNTRIES
Injured Spaniard, First-paper
Citizen, Awaits Decision
on Compensation
While two countries are clubbing

While two countries are quibbling
over their relative responsibility
Manuel Paroles, hopelessly injured
West Virginia miner, losses on his
bed here at the Emergency Hos
pital in the fervent hope that he
will be able to get home to Cordova,
Spain, before death overtakes him.
Paroles who Is penniless, is at
tended by his faithful wife while
the hospital authorities have secured
the services of an interpreter so as
to insure the comforts of the
institution for him.
Final disposition Of Paroles case
rests in the hands of the State
Compensation Commission of West
Virginia and the Spanish govern
ment. He was injured in an acct
dent at the coal mines of Berkeley,
w. Va, in June, 1922. What makes
the case complex is that Parades
is an American subject with first
papers and as a renounced citizen
Of Spain, he muse be repatriated
upon his return.
1t is commended by friends of
Paroles that since he was injured
in the West Virginia mines while
on active duty and fatally so, the
State should assume responsibility
for him. The answer from the
State has not yet been received.
While the embassy here has taken
the matter up with the Spanish
government, doubt is felt over the
decision. inasmuch as Paroles is
virtually an American citizen.
Now that Paroles predicament
has come to the public attention,
confidence is felt that speedy de-
cisions will be rendered by the
West Virginia commission and the
Spanish government, which will eff
feet the dying wish of the unfortu-
nate miner

In some districts, where the popu-

Sunday mornings would frequently be
made up half of humans and half Of
dogs. The canine auditors sat out the
service with commendable patience
until the announcement of the last
psalm, when there was general
stretching and yawning preparatory to
scampering out as soon as the benedic-

In one kirk the congregation deter

Mutual Kindness the Rule

Old people are held In great respect

harness, etc., and the old women In
sewing and tending the lamps. In
times of scarcity, as in winter, meat
and oil is always shared around.
Directly seal or deer Is brought In
it is cut up and sent to each needy
family. In times Of plenty each family
is supposed to provide for itself, but
old people, widows and orphans have
always the first claim upon those who
have the means.
Among these people mutual kind
ness is a general obligation. A widow

gives her services in return for food
and lodging and clothing and the child
is cared for exactly as the mans own
offspring.-Detroit News.

TRAVEL BY WATER CHUTE
FIume Filled With Water Offers
Thrills In Small Boat In Noun
taIns Of Sierra Nevada.

In the mountains Of Sierra Nevada,
the water chute, or fiunae, IL used as
means Of travelling from ono spot to
another. The flume is V-shaped and
made Of wood. 1t stands on wooden
trestles, sometimes, where 1t crosses
deep ravines, Of Immense height. A
swift and strong current Of water.
chiefly used for floating logs and
sawn timber, Is constantly running
down the chute.
The boat made to navigate the fiume
is also Y-shaped and fits inside 1t. It
can be hoated down at a good speed
in about an inch Of water. Only one
passenger Is carried at q time, and
he has to sit as far forward as pos
sibel in order to tilt up the back Of
the little craft. In steep places the
pace is great, quite twenty miles an
hour being reached.
Riding the fume is full of thrills,
though the little craft runs smoothly
and as there is no machinery, without
vibration. But when once 1t has
started on its journey 1t cannot be
stopped until 1t reaches Its destina-
ton. The sensation Of rushing alone
through space at such speed Ia won

terrific force hit. him between the
shoulders, driving his face into the
gravel.
It was in the cold weather, SO he
was wearing an ulster, and now ne
was lifted by the something that
gripped the coat across his shoulders
and dragged along the bar. He could
hear purring, like the whir of an
electric fan. A CHASTITY smell Of car
rlOn was in his nostrils and on either
side of his head showed the yellow
forearm of tiger.
He realized that as soon as they
reached the jungle, 80 yards away, the
tiger would make meal OF him. And
how helpless he was
Suddenly 1t flashed through his
mind that he had heavy revolver In
his coat pocket. His arms were quite
free, so he managed to get the pistol,
cooked it and fired upward trying for
the tigers heart.
At the pistols report he was lifted
bodily, whlrled around and thrown sew
