According to Hoyle

II seems surprising and absurd-his
name has been a household word for
quite two hundred years; we hear the
stately name of Hoyle whenever, at the
close of toll, the hour for whist appears.
He was according to reports, lawyer
in the English courts, of literary bent;
when not communing with the bards
he studied all the games of cards that
sportsmen could invent. He used to
wot and also visit that rules should
govern games of whist, that fairness
might obtain; and so he wrote his little
book, which was perused by king and
cook. and every sporty swain. And now
We ind that deahtless name, once
linked with but trifling game, applied
rules in driving cars or skinning mules,
or shooting birds awing. It means fair
play In all our deals, in selling bonds
or dishing meals, in selling gas and oil;
our fair renown win have a spot If
some one says our course Is not accord
ing to Ed Hoyie. A million people use
his name who do not know what gave
him fame, or when he lived and died;
they use the honored name of Hoyle
when they would circumyent and foil
the thing unfair and snide. Thus acci-
dentally he gained q fame for which
great men have strained and struggled
but to fail: great scientists have passed
away and been forgotten in a day. their
triumphs quickly stale. Aspiring poets
have grown old to find their regulations
cold, their little glories gone; great gen.
erals have lived to find the world for
getful and unkind-but Hoyle lives on
and on. WALT MASON.

/ at hope YOU are going to take him
out and let him 60" said Mother Brown
| Farmer Browns Boys eyes twinkled
"I am going to let him go, all right,
| said he, but am not going to take
| him out to let him 60. You see, We
l'need him."
what fcr?" asked Mother Brown
looking puzzled.
For a mousetrap in the barn." re-
piled Farmer Browns Boy. HE is worth
a dozen cats. He has been living in
the barn for some little time-ever since
the big storm. SO that is where am
going to set him free"
Farmer Browns Boy took Spooky
and wondered what it was all about
II hope" thought Spooky, "he isn't
going to put me back in that grain
bin. I don't want to be a prisoner, but
I suppose I'll have to be-"
He had hardly thought this when
the most amazing thing happened.
Farmer Browns Boy tossed him right
straight UP in the air. 1t was SO UNI
expected that for second or two
Spooky found it difficult to use his
wings. He tapped frantically. Then
he got his balance and realized that
he really was free. Up he went to his
favorite rafter In the roof of the barn.
There he alighted and then leaned over
and looked down. Farmer Browns Boy
was looking up at him and smiling.
Spooky sat there and blinked and
blinked. He was trying to understand
all that had happened and why. What
did Farmer Browns Boy mean by turn
ing him free that way? It was too
much for Spooky. II give up" said
he to himself. Il certainly do give 1t
up. I'm not going to worry about It..
Here I am free. so why worry! The
only question now is, shall continue to
stay in here, or shall ! go back to my
home in the Old Orchard!'
Spooky sat and pondered and pom
dered on this for so long that in the
middle of his bordering he went to
sleep. He didn't awaken until evening.
just as his eyes few open, he heard
a faint squeak. It was the squeak Of
mouse. After that, Spooky did no
more pondering. That squeak settled
the question for him. AS long as he
could wake up and hear mouse squeak,
he would stay right there. SO it was
that Spooky continued to live in Farmer
Browns barn. and farmer Browns Boy
continued to look up every time he en-
tered the barn and chuckle as he saw
a little brown bunch of feathers high
UP on one Of the rafters.
IF every one knew the value of Owls
there would be no more shooting of
them" thought Farmer Browns Boy,
and wished, with all his might, that
every one had this knowledge.

Window Cleaners Perils.

Despite the fact that it is guarded

An Official of one of these companies
has estimated that more than 81 ,000, 600

GRASS FIRE CALLS
 OUT FORCE 0F MEN

A peculiar fire started in Seward early this morning when the grass, rearing it's top through snow, as well as in snow swept areas, started far the other side of Lowell creek and, famed by the gale of /. he past three days, swept from this side of the machine shops to the creek, touching Fourth ave, on one side and the railroad tracks on the lower.
 Two unoccupied cabins were destroyed and though danger threatened elsewhere, the volun- ter fire department, and by about 30 owns-people, kept the flames from jumping across Fourth ave- nue and into the residential sec- tion.
 The fire did not start at the shops, it is said, but this side of them just where, could not be as certained. Throughout the day fire guards were posted about the burned-over land all equipped with gunny sacks with which to beat
 out live sparks or smouldering
 moss and grass.

 Ninety per cent of Alaska, or any ether country, is barren o. commercial mineralization. The mineralized districts are isolated pin point specks spaced over the map-like an occasional island in the sea It is up to the prospec- tors, as l sec it. to locate those mineralized patches and then con- ceatrate their energies there.

Vigilance Against Feeding.
A particular vigilance is maintained
to prevent outsiders from feeding the
animals. The bears and monkeys, how
ever, rarely suffer from what they may
eat in this way, but, unless restricted,
the visitors show a persistent tendency
to throw their offerings into the cages
with great force, apparently with the
hope Of exciting the occupants into
some amusing action.
For the most part, however, the birds
and beasts have delicate digestive or
gans, and require a highly specialized
diet, particularly adapted for individual
requirements.
Many animals are fed as scientifically
and carefully as a pampered baby.
Notable among these Is N'gi. whose ra-
tions are given with great exactness
and care. They have been planned by
a baby specialist, and any variation
from them probably would result ia
tally for the infant gorilla.
Although Mr.. Blackburn attributes no
few of his gray hairs to the devious
ways Of some Of the visitors. on the
whole he is enthusiastic about their
consideration, evident kind-hearteoneSS
and understanding. '.-t :
In this opinion he Is heartily sec
onded by DR.. W. M. Mann, for the past
five years director Of the National
Geological Park.
