Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Hopkins were

roof sprung a leak, the ditch broke
out and the hired man went on a

vented the phrase “back to the soil”

loted by Kid Wilson, drove over to

ful exhibition. Besides the elephant,
kangaroo arid other wild and fierce
monsters, the clowns and acrobats
were a scream, the popcorn was quite
good and the red lemonade was a
source of delight. Feeding the ani
i mals was in itself worth the trip. The
party was composed of Bessie Hart.
Marie Laird, Charlie Pranty, Eddie
Patterson, Ralph Watkins and Willie

‘BILL’ TRIED TO WALK ON
WATER; COULDN’T CUT ’ER
It is said that Bill Bailey has had j
leanings toward Christian Science for !
some time and was convinced that if
one had faith enough there was very
, little if anything that could be accom- '
plished.
As a result Bill resolved to put his 1
faith to the test and tried to walk on
, the water one chilly day last week.
It was necessary for him to ford Sage
I creek on his return from the, Pearson
ranch so Bill took the opportunity to
try out his belief.
Whether the fault lay in Bill's feet. •
which were not broad enough, or in
his faith, which was not strong
enough, the trial was a flat failure and
Bill dropped in to his hocks. Then,
like the practical person that he really ,
is, he removed his trousers, draped
them around his neck and waded
across.
Some schoolmarms who were;
watching Bill attest to the authentic- 1
tty of this story.
MICE DRIVING RANCH
ERS TO DESPERATION
I
Ranchers living up Bear River in
I the Knight district state that never|
I in the memory of man has there been
so many mice as may be found there
1 this spring, and that the pesky crea-!
tures are taking all of tne food in the
, fields. They report that there are
millions of them, and householders'
have resorted to the expedient of
placing the table legs in pans of wa-1
ter to keep the creatures off the ta
bles.
The great natural enemies of mice
are the hawks, and it is suggested
that' hunters refrain from killing these
birds.
I A half dozen school children dur
ing one noon hour killed 236 mice,
which is evidence that the menace is
not an imaginary one.

ON THE UPPER NIAGARA
‘ Zoologists are trying to classify a
; peculiar form of animal life found by
Edward Briggs in an intake on the
upper Niagara Rlfver. The freak is

the body resembles a lizard, while the
' hind part looks like a fish. The eyes
are very small and tlie mouth is like
; that of a catfish.
' The animal, or whatever it is, is of
. spotted brown color and has a smooth
skin, no scales being found anywhere
|on the body. It has four legs, the feet
I being formed like human hands but
with only four fingers. The ears have
four lobes with a tuft of hair on each
lobe. The freak ds alive and now in
Mr. Briggs’ possession.

HORSE IS FIFTY-TWO
AND STILL FEfcLS FINE
New York. Clover, 52 year-old
horse, showed his teeth, flipped an ap
prehensive ear and settled himself on
exhibit in Madison Square Garden re
cently—the central figure in the art
show at the Masonic exposition.
Veterinaries assert that Clover’s
teeth not only prove his age, but are
the cause of it. The set is said to be
wonderfully preserved.
There may have been a time when
Clover, then a racer, liked the plaud
its of the multitude, but he unques
tionably resented being placed on ex
hibition.
He will stay, if all goes well, just a
week. He will eat specially prepared
grain and drink only water from the
brook at home in Catawisha, Pa.
