jay walking: "Jay-walking defies

way of advertising a lack of interest

of good taste. It is also very stupid.
The very term Jay is a gratuitous
insult to people in small towns, who
never do anything so silly. 1t is

PHILIPPINES RULED

Professor Uncovers Evidence of

MANILA (P).-Ancient Chinese rec

pines were under Chinese sway more
than 500 years before the discovery"
of the islands by Magellan in 1891, have
been found by Verne Dyson, professor

DR.. Dyson went to Canton and also
10 Hongkong searching for evidence
in the old Chinese records of the early
relations between the ancient empire
and the islands
The earliest date showing COM
n1unication between the Philippines and
China is 982 AD.,' said DR.. Dyson.
"The Chinese chronicles state that in
that year traders from Manila visited
Canton. In addition, there are records
that the islands sent tribute to China
long before the appearance of Ma
gellan"
Prof Dyson also found at Canton
records showing that early in the Ming
dynasty beginning about 1405 AID.
several of the larger islands in the
Philippines were ruled by Chinese off,
cials. These governors held sway for
30 years or more and most of them
seem to have been Cantonese.

TON LITTER MAKES
GOOD WHEAT RECORD

Virginia Beach CVa.) News
During a period of 103 days.
Lucian Aylor, Culpepper county,
used 10 thrifty pigs to turn 40
bushels OF 80 cent wheat and Is
bushels of S1.0O corn into $3.50
per bushel grain. These two
grains were the basis of the ra-
ton but they were supplemented
by TIA gallons of skim milk and
1885 pounds of purchased feed.
The latter was charged at cost
in making the calculation and
skim milk at 31a cents per gallon.
The 10 pigs fed by Mr.. Aylor
were entered in the ton little con-
test. The litter weighed 1000
pounds in 159 days, three weeks
before the end of the $50 day
feeding period. The feed record
on the litter was kept from wean-
ing time until it reached the ton
mark. During this period of 103
days the pigs gained 1.56 pounds
per head per day.
The feeding record made by Mr..
Aylor is particularly interesting
at this time since a great many
questions r being asked about
feeding wheat to hogs. More than
half of the concentrated feed con-
sumed was wheat and very rapid
and economical gains we're made.

Meantime, the horrid roaringS
approached nearer, and l conclud
ed that a couple of leopards OF
panthers had been attracted by
the scent of the boar's carcass.
But not long after l had eX'
pressed this opinion, we beheld
large, powerful animal spring from
the underwood, and, with a bound
and muttered roar, approach the
fire. In a moment | recognized
the u~nmistakable outlines of the
form of a lion, though in size
he far surpassed any / had ever
seen exhibited in Europe.
The dogs skunk behind the fire,
and the lion seated himself al
most like a cat on his hind legs,
glaring alternately at them, and at
the great boar hams which hung
near. with doubtless a mixed feel
ing of irritation and appetite
which was testified by the rest
less movement of his tail.
He then arose, and commenced
walking up and down with slow
and measured pace, occasionally
~uttering short, angry roars, quite
unlike the prolonged, full tones
we had heard at first.
At times he went to drink at
the brook, always returning with
such haste, that I fully expected
to see him spring.
Gradually his manner became
more and more threatening; he
turned toward us, crouched, and
his body at full stretch,
his tail, and glared so fur

Fall Flowing vs.. Spring
The value Of blowing done dur
ing the next six weeks depends
greatly upon the use that is made
of it, according to experimental
evidence from the North Montana
experiment station ht Havre. If
used for crop the following year,
fall blowing is of doubtful value
however, if allowed to lie fallow
for one year and used for a crop
in 1882 instead of 1881 it will
have the same value as May
plowed fallow.
Results of work carried on at
the Havre station indicate that
spring blowing is more valuable
than fall blowing. Ten years re-
suits with barley give a 14.6 bush
ell average for spring blowing, 12.5
for fall blowing and 300 for fal-
low. Oats yielded 23.3 bushels on
spring blowing, 17.8 on fall plow-
ing and 37.2 on fallowed ground.
If results here correspond, we
must regard fall blowing as a

There was so much to be done
in consequence of this affair that
Fritz, who had hoped to set out
on his solitary expedition that
day, deferred it until the next;
and was, therefore, fortunately
with us, when late in the even
ing we desisted from our labors,
and, having supped, were prepar-
ing to retire to rest.
All at nee a deep, fearful sound
echoed through the n%eighboring
woods. 1t made our blood curdle

straining ears, hoping it would
not be repeated. With a shudder
we heard the dread voice roar

the performers in this concert"
exclaimed Fritz, springing to his
feet and snatching up his rifle.
Make the fire blaze; get on
board the yacht, and have all the
guns in readiness. I am off to re-
connoiter in the canoe"
We mechanically obeyed his
rapid orders, while the bold youth
disappeared in the darkness; and,
after heaping fuel on the fire, we
went on board and armed our
selves with cutlasses, besides
loading all the guns, waiting in
readiness either to land again or
to quit the coast.
We presently saw the whole
pack of dogs, as we'll as Coco, the
jackal, and the little ape, iMer-
curry (who had been tempted by
the truffles to stay with them in
the woods), come galloping at full
speed up to the fire.
Mercury was evidently exces-
sively discomposed at finding us
gone; he CRASHED his teeth, and
chartered, as though in fear, look
ing hopelessly at the water,
through which he could not ven
ture.
The dogs planted themselves by
the fire, gazing fixedly landward,
with ears erect, and occasionally
uttering a barking challenge, or
a suppressed howl.

E. Arnot, the mayor of Conrad,
who was notified of his brothers
death and who arrived in Glas-
gov early this morning by auto
mobile after a night drive.
Besides his brother and son,
Robert, Mr.. Arnot is survived by
another son, John, 10 years of
age, who was attending a Boy
Scout camp at Camp Miller, Stur-
geon Lake, Mimi, for several
weeks.
At a coroner's inquest held
Monday afternoon a verdict of ac-
cidental death by suffocation and
burning was returned.
His body was sent Tuesday to
Park River, N. D., where it will
be inferred alongside that of his
father, who died last April.
Mr.. Arnot was born at Grand
Forks, N. D., March 8, 1880, and
was educated in the schools of
that city. The family later NOV

much toward the upbuilding of
GLASGOW in tha aar1v DAYS and

circle, and uttered roarings, which
were evidently calls to her mate
whose dead body she presently
discovered.
Finding him motionless, her
manner betokened the greatest
concern; she touched him with
her forepaws, smelled round him,
and licked his bleeding wounds.
Then, raising her head, she gnash-
ed her teeth, and gave forth the
most lamentable and dreadful
sound | ever heard; a mingled
roar and howl, which was like
the expression of grief, rage, and
a vow to be avenged, all in one.
Crack Another shot: the crea-
lures right forepaw was famed;
and the dogs, seeing me raise
my gun, suddenly gathered cour-
age. and ran forward just as l
fired. MY shot also wounded the
lioness, but not mortally, and the
most terrific combat ensued.
1t was impossible to fire again,
for fear of wounding the dogs.
The scene was fearful beyond
comparison. Black night surround
ed us; the fitful blaze of the fire
shed a strange, unnatural light on
the Frustrated body of the huge
dead lion, and on the wounded
lioness, who fought desperately
against the attack of the four
gallant dogs; while the cries,
roars, and groans of anguish and
fury uttered by all the animals
were enough to try the stoutest
nerves
Old Juno, staunch to the last,
was foremost in the fray. After
a time, I saw her change her plan
of attack, and spring at the throat
of the lioness; who, in an instant,
her left paw, and at one
blow the cruel claws had laid
open the body of the dog, and
destroyed the life of the true and
companion of so many
years.
Just then Fritz appeared. The
lioness was much weakened and
we ventured to go near enough
to fire with safety to ourselves;
and finally I dispatched her by
plunging a huntingknife deep in
her breast.
Ernest and Jack were summon
ed from the yacht to witness the
completed victory; and I regret
ted having left them on board,
when l saw how greatly the noise
md tumult had alarmed them,
Unable, as they were, to ascertain
what was going on.
They fastened toward us in
great agitation, and their joy on
seeing us safe was only equaled
by the grief they felt on learning
