Denver.-Deer. which invade kitch

(beggar bears, which waylay automo

troadl, are exampl)leS of the extent to
owhich the protection furnished by the
government to the wild game within
the boundaries of the various national
perks has tamed the animals. accord
4ng to Horace M. Albright. superin
tendent of Yellowstone National park,
sand assistant to Stephen MA. Mather,
director of national parks. who cane
to Denver recently to attend the meet
ong of park oflicials.
"One night shortly before I left, I
went to a dance." said Mr. Albright.
"I took home a pitcher of cidler and a
plate of doughnuts. When I reached
the house I placed them on a back
step, while I unlocked the door. A
noise behind me caused me to look
around and there was a big mule deer
with his nose buried in the pitcher of
cider. He followed me into the house
for one of the doughnuts. and when
I gave it to him. he trotted off."
It is no unusual sight, declared Al
bright, to see deer entering and leav
ing a house in Yellowstone. Small
children feed them from their hands,
nid beggar heurs, he declared. have
come to he one of the biggest attrac

"They wait he'ide the road until an

and then set up oni their hind legs and

The tanwmness of the animals has its

Woman Dog Catcher.
Denver. Colo.-"The only woman dog
catcher In the world" is the title ap
plied to Mrs. Laura Dietrich. deputy
pound mistress at the dog pound here.
Mrs. Dietrich is highly efficient in the
unm ual role. according to William C.
Fox. superintendent, who declared
that he had misgivings at first as to
the advlsahility of securing a woman
for the position, as he thought it would
he too dificult. "However, I soon
discovered that dogs resist n woman
much less than a man," he said. "They
are handled by Mrs. Dietrich with
much less trouble than by a. man."
Pearls in Oysters.
Peloit, wis.-Forrest Wilson hought
a quart of oysters for 50 cents. When
eating them lie bit on something hard
and found it to he a pearl. A few
seconds later his son had a similar cx

cooked enough to harm them. The
largest one is worth $50T and the sma!1

Vhiie 4t hii's are inoncently declaring
that the intentions otf both independ

l(cef'iuI. the government is constantly
rounding up dncumenots provinag that at
least anon,Ž certain grouws of con
Inunists there exist plans of the blood
iest nature.
Government disclosures leave little
room for doubt that some of the wilder
spirits among the Spar:tacans proposed
to form a miurdlerbhund that would do
away with political opponenllts.
Dire Work Projected.
For instance, Munich newspanpers,
Prussian Minllister-President Hirsch
and the military are authority for rev
elations in the closing days of Sep
temner, showing that. among other
things. the Spartacists planned the
following:
(a) To do away with a large num
her of officers and soldiers in Munich,
slaying them as they slept; (b) that a
group of reds from Munich proposed
to blacklist a number of prominent of
ficials, draw lots, and then "put away"
the condlemned; (c) that, particularly
In Munich, plans were afoot for crea
tion of red "shock troops," to use
tore tanks to shield the onwat'ris he
hirt from trhe na chinlle guns iof trhe
government tro' ps; (e) i lhit thie com
rininrist goverrniiert shouRldI ally itself
with the narchist llt-syndicalist gronup.
All evidence at hand in the nlast few
weeks has shown quite onclusively
thart the Spurtnlcists rnd t i he independ
ents were endleavorin to prove con
elusively to (;ertiany uand to the world
thflt they had moderated. Certainly,
in general, they alopted a new course
of tactics from that pursued last win
ter a nd spring, when rioting and blood
shed were tre order of the day. Their
new course appeared to consist in fo
tuentation of strikes and other intern
al troubles with a view to eulbarrass
ing the government and tharnrpwring tihe
national life that the existing regime
would be overthrown. Now. 'rowever,
thIe ei idence of the goverInent con
tained in documents seized from im
prisoned Spartacists shows that where
as sabotage and kindred weapons
were probably favored by the hulk of
the corntunists, there was another
group that believed in "direct action"
of the worst sort.
The murder of Government Inspector
Plau in August led the government to
probe even more deeply than before
into the secret workings of the com
rmunist group.
Many Arrests Made.
This general investigation led to a
number of arrests, including the haul
at Halle, wherein about a dozen of very
radlical stripe were captured. It also
proved to the government's satisfac
tion that Blau was killed by reds
Munich continues to he . fruitful
source of conmmunist agitation. Some
of the reddest of the reds have their
hiandqnarters there. From these head
quarters issue secret orders which ev
ery now and then fall Into government
hiands and prove that not only rre
these agitators willing to harm. and
even halt, the nationral Industrial life,
but have no really sincere desire to
benefit the laboring man.
Instead, It has been shown, the agt
tators are fattening on proletarian
funds, some of which emanate directly
from bolshevik Russia and others of
which are collected from the "hreth
ren" in Germany, Austria and Czecho
Slovakia.

HFINDS LOST PICTURE
Artist Discovers Painting at Art
Dealer's Taken From His Studio
16 Years Ago.
New York.-Among the products of
his own brush prized most highly by
Childe Hussami. was a picture which
he painted when heginning his career
in the Latin quarter of Paris three
decades ago, and although it disnp
peared 16 years ago, when he was
moving from one apartment to anoth
er in this city, his recollection of it
never faded entirely.
Recently Frank K. M. Rehn, son of
an artist and himself a dlealer in art
at 6 West Fiftieth street, called on
Mr. Hanssnm to inquire as to the au
thenticity of a picture attributed to
him and previously acquired by the
dealer. When Mr. Hassam entered the
dealer's gallery and viewed "Flower
Girl Selling Peonies," he at once rec
ognized his long-missing painting As
Mr. Rehn bad bought the painting he
demurred against giving it back wKth
out being reimbursed.
Mr. Hassanm heein an action in the
supreme court for thne recovery of the
picture or $1,000.
Sritons Lack Chorus Girls.
London.-England is experiencing a
shortage of chorus girls, according to
theatrical agents and stage managers.
Plenty of young women are still
anxious to get Into the limelight, hut
experienced girds are said to be far
less plentiful than they were. One the
atrical agent has explained the situa
tion thus:
"During the war a large number of
chorus girls, show girls and other
'small part ladies' left the stage for
other work. Some are remaining in it
permanently; others have not yet come
back to the theater. Many girls, too,
were married to officers during the
war. Even salaries of four pounds
($19.40) are not tempting gIrls to go
out of London."

"Republic" of Ararat.
Armenia is the proud possessor of
Ararait-now the Republic of Ararat
which Is identitied 'with the beginnings
of the history of the human race, for
when thi flood1 subsided Noah's ark
is supposed to have rested upon the
mountain of Arliarat. The name of the
village at the entrance to the glen
on the noritheast foot of Mount Ararat
is Arghuri, itiining "lie planted the
vine," and American troops may he
told that this was Noah's vineyard.
Nearby is another spit called "Ma
nartd," meaning "the mother lies here,"
and this is pointed out as the burial
place of Noah's wife. The first strip
of land seen from the ark is also
shownl to visitors at a plate called
"Eravan," meaning visible, and the
town of Nakchwan, mlleaning "first
habitation," is another point of inter
est.
If the little Republic of Ararat
wins mandatory protection from the
United States, American soldiers may
have the opportunity of defending the
mountain, which is regarded with
superstitious awe. It is believed by
the surroinding people still to con
tain the relics of Noah's ark, un
chanced by time or decay. But Tartars
and Turks say Its suminlt Is the abode
of the devil and launch frequent cam
paigns ilgialst Its "evil hifluence."
American troops may well have an
opportunity of engaging in almost con
tinuous warfare in defense of this
most ancient historical shrine.

WAR BOOMED SILK SHIRTS
High Wages Enabled Workingmen
to Purchase Expensive
Garments.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press believes
the developlment of a nation-wide
craze for luxurie s i reflected in the
phenomenal demrntl for silk shirts
that has swept through the country
this summer. Merchants and manufac
turers declare it is typical of the de
sire for spending money that has
seized the people of the United States,
especially the laboring classes.
This new craze is not confined to
any particular locality, but is general
throughout the United States. Men
who have never before worn silk shirts
are buying them this season, not only
one or two at a time, but in half doz
en lots and the consumption has been
so great that the local market is al
most bare of stocks.
Discussing the new craze, I. Bruck,
representing a large silk company of.
New York that manufactures exten
sive lines of silk shirting, said:
"This sudden craze for silk shirts
is (lilue to the fact that woridginenll
lre ittkiYng vastly more money than
ever before. War time wages have tilledi
their pIockets and they have be en n
atbled to realize some of' their long
cherishedl desires, one of which was to
wear silk shirts.
"Men 'who a few years ago com
plainedi because they could not get a
cotton shirt for less than a dollar are
now buying three and ftour silk shirts
a season and paying from $10 to $14
apiece for thenm.
"Even the fartn laborer is wearing
silk. Dealers from out of town tell me
of calls for silk shirts from men on
the farms and say it is the first time
since they have been In business that
has occurred.
"Naturally, this tremendous demand
has had its effect on supply, with the
resulting increase in prices.
"And the demand does not appear to
be just a seasonable one. Already we'
are besieged with inquiries for goods
to be delivered in the spring. Prices
then will be higher than they are
now."
