identity.

body and mind, and when picked
up by the Cyr brothers, locators
on the Big Fork river, May 115.
His mind has since became
completely unbalanced, and he
tied through the woods like a wild
beast. Deputy Sheriff Grove

the woods in search of him.

Senator Hale's Symptoms Alarmed
Brother Statesman.
In the marble room of the Senate is
a blackboard, upon which each morn
ing different colored chalks indicate
the temperature and general weather
conditions prevailing throughout the
country. Senator Hale, while talking
So a constituent, unconsciously backed
np against this board, and a little
later started for the Senate chamber,
covered with green, red, yellow and
white dust.
"Why, Senator, you are a sick man.
and ought to be in bed," said Senator
Dubois, with anxiety in his voice.
"What's the matter with me?" asked
the Maine man, passing his hand over
his forehead.
"Any man," explained the Idaho Sen
ator, laughing and tapping the other
on the back, "who is as cold between
the shoulders and as hot tfver the kid
neys as you are certainly needs a doc

BIRDS THAT PLANT TREES.
Nature Has Plan for the Perpetuation
of Forests.
An old-time Arizona woodchopper
says the hluejays have planted thou
sands of trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have
a habit of burying small seeds In the
ground with their beaks, and that
they frequently pinion trees and bury
large numbers of the small pine nuts
in the ground, many of which sprout
and grow. Ho was walking through
tho pines with an eastern gentle
man a short time ago, when one of
these birds flew from a tree to the
ground, stuck his bill Into tho earth
and quickly flew away. When told
what had happened the eastern man
was skeptical, but the two went to
the spot and with a knife blade dug
out a,Bound plue nut from a depth of
about an inch and a half. Thus it
will bo seen that nature bus her own
plan for forest perpetuation.
ART IN SKIRT LIFTING.
French Girl Excels American In This
Matter.
"Inherent grace is no greater In
French girls than in American girls,"
said Mine. Maker at the national con
vention of dressmakers. "But in the
dainty art of carrying their skirts In
their hands while taking the air of
the boulevards, French girls are In
comparably superior to their Ameri
can cousins. The secret is that the
French maid's petticoat is made to
clear the ground, while tho Ameri
can's drop skirt is as long as tho
outer garment. The American must,
lift both skirts to prevent their trail
