Weather, however, deterred many who had
planned to enjoy thta pastime from going

ihe lake. '
The usual social events of the day were
not lacking. In many a home waa the
Christmas family gathering around the din
ner table with its old time honored turkey

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 25. (Special.) An en
gineer on the Great Western railroad had
a distressing? experience this morning. He
was bringing his train from Kansas City I
and when he arrived in Des Moines dis
covered portions of a buggy on the pilot
of the engine. An Investigation followed
and it was found he had struck a buggy
containing two persons near the town of
Lorlmer. sixty miles south, and one of the
Inmates was killed and the other seriously
Injured. The trainmen knew nothing about
the matter until the arrival of the train
in' the city. It was then found that about I
1:30 o'clock the train struck the buggy and
ahattered it. Lewis Keith and Miss Ethel
Reed were in the buggy. They had been
to a dance In Lorlmer and were driving
out to ber horns four miles in the country,
when thev crossed the railroad track. He
waa instantly killed and she was Injured
so badly that ahe remained lying by the
roadside unconacloua. A delivery man drlv
Ing out Into the country made the- dls
coverv and the woman waa taken to a
hospital at once. Ths buggy was literally
torn to pieces and the horses were killed.
It Is regarded as strange that the fact of
striking the outfit was not known to the
trainmen.
Convicts Have Money.
The report of the warden of the peniten
tiary at Fort Madison shows that there la
now to the credit of the Inmates of the
penitentiary in the bank at Fort Madison
over 36,000. It was found that to the credit
of Frank Watklna of Monona county, who
died a few daya ago. there was $203.84. He
had been In the prison twenty-seven years
and was applying for a pardon. - W. P.
Glyndon, a lifer who la asking the legisla
ture for a pardon, has the largest sum of
any convict to his credit $283.67. A great
many of the convlcta have auma ranging
from $10 to $100 to their credit, all earned
by working over time or at odd Joba mak
ing things which have been sold.
Violated a Parole.
Emery Salyards of Dickinson county, a
paroled prisoner, who was serving time for
burglary, but waa released on good be
havior last summer, Is on the way back to
the pen. He is accused of havlr.g taken
watch from a Jewelry store In Lake Park
and afterwards trading It to a farmer for
another watch. When be waa arrested he
admitted taking the watch but claimed that
It waa a Joke.
- Ths Inmates of the various atate Insti

Proteata are being numerously signed In
Hardin county against .the possible parole I
of Frank and Nathan Ralnsbarger, who
are serving life sentences In the penlten
Unry. They have applied for clemency to
the legislature. They hare been' In the
penitentiary about eighteen years and have
been model prisoners. They belonged to a
gang of thieves at one time notorious In
Iowa, and' there Is still much III feeling in
Hardin county against them. It Is be
lieved that in nearly every county of the
state from which prisoners have been sent
who are asking paroles protests will go to
the legislature and the prospect of a large
number of paroles Is therefore small.

ORIGIN OF NAMES OF DOGS
Derivations ot the Appellations that
Are Glvea the Tarloaa
' Breeds.
The spaniel is so called because the
original breed of this beautiful and intelli
gent type came from Spain and the first
arrivals in England were called Snanlh
dogs.
The Spits dog got Its name from its sharp
pointed nose. "Spits" means "sharp point"
In German and the Spits was a favorite
German breed before he became known In
England and America. The Spits Is known
also as Dalmatian dog because hla native
home is In Dalmatla.
Ths dachshund is another German breed
and his funny name almost aa long and
funny as the dog himself is a German
name, meaning ''badger dog." The original
dachshund was used for. drawing tadgers
and the dogs still are great favorites a-r.ong
German hunters, although the breed has
become a little too delicate for fighting
...ch . rv M w.rrinr .. th.
such a gray old warrior as ths badger.
The fox terrier earned hla name, not
from any fancied resemblance to the fox.
but because long ago. In the days of
"merry England." these terriers, much
larger and stronger then, were used every
where by sportsmen for drawing and killing
the fox, they being sent down Into his bur
row, It is said that no good fox terrier
ever backed out of a burrow wi hout his
fox. If he came out he had the dead fox
gripped. If be didn't get the fox he didn't
come out, but died there.
The bulldog used to drive cattle, and as
he was trained to meet the rushes of the
bull by seising him by his moat sensitive
point the nose the sturdy, brave dog cams
to te anowa in time as bulldog. In some
countries he Is known ss bull biter.
The beautiful Blenheim spaniel Is named
after Blenheim castle, where this dog fin t
was made fashionable In the time of the
great Marlborough. The King Charles dog
owes Its name to tha Merry Monarch.
Ths various breeds of hounds of today are
called hounds because they are the ntai-nt
survivors of tha time when all hunting dogs
were used to hound gums. In -the early
hunting days of England every dog that
was used to acoompany tha hunt wus
iect4 mainly for tils sprsd and endurance.
That ware hounds that tit surpoted to
follow the game by scent and others who
were supposed to sight It a long way off.
but all were expected to be able to run the
game down. Consequently, while the name
of hound, or hund in the ancient Saxon,
was first used for all kinds of dogs. It
finally came to denote hunting dogs only;
that la why we call our running dogs
hounds today, such as greyhounds, rabbit
hounds, bloodhounds, wolfhounds, bear
hounds, deerhounda, etc. Washington

A BATTLE 0F THE DEEP
Thrasher Shark aad Sword Flak Fight
Monster Whale te the
Death.
One of the rarest as well as one of the
most thrilling ppectaclea ever beheld by
a human being waa witnessed off the coast
of Alaska by Dr. and Mrs. l Webster
Fox of Philadelphia, who have Just re
turned from the Klondike. .In a sea
lashed by many big 1 fish they aaw a
thrasher ahark and a sword fish attack a
whale, and in a long and terrific battle
slowly hack the great cetacean to death.
Not only Dr. and Mrs. Fox but an entire
ship load of passengers were spectators at
this combat. So furious waa the attack
and so agile, despite their size, the warring
fishes, that to the witnesses It first ap
peared to be a battle between prehistoric
monsters. "The fight took place on a Sat
urday afternoon, August 29, Just befors we
entered Junean " said Dr. Fox. "We were
on the steamer Cottage City, Captain. Wal-
lace, traveling northward through that won
derful Inland sea which stretches 1,000
miles from Vancouver to Bkagway.
'At t o'clock we were leaving Admiralty
Island. The sheltered sound at this point Is
the play and the feeding grounds for count
less whales, and oa this memorable after-
noon we had been running through a school
scattered on either hand, blowing and
diving and sleeping on the surface. Some
one on board shouted that a thrasher was
attacking a whale. The ship's speed was
slackened, and as the eager passengers
crowded to the rail It gave a list to port.
Man has never ' witnessed a more fearful
conflict than that which occurred the next
half hour. The thrasher U a most pecu
liar fish. While it Is in shape the counter,
pat t of a shark, its main weapon of offense,
instead of its mouth, is its tall, the tips
of which are as hard as bone. Before
the startled whale could get Into motion
the long, black, flail-like tail we had seen
poise and strike repeated the blow three
or four times in quick succession. Ths
report of every blow came to us across
the water as though a man bad slapped
his thlgb with his palm in our midst.
Then the whale dove, , and it was plainly
his Intention to. sweep ths enemy from hla
hold by a rush. But neither fish remained
under water long. With a leap like that
of a monster brook trout ths whale cleared
the surface, and for an instant formed
a huge arch. He was free of the water
from his head to the tip of his tall. As
he dropped in again he began to squirm
and struggle and churn with his tall, until
the sea seemed to boll for the space of an
acre or mors.
Notwithstanding that up to this time
we had noticed only the whale and the
thrasher shark, it quickly became appar
ent that a third combatant was In the
field. This combatant we soon learned
was a sword fish, the thrasher's Inevitable
hunting companion. The sword fish grows
to a length of twelve and fifteen feet, with
a aword three or four1 feet long, but small
aa he Is in comparison to the whale, hs Is
capable of doing terrible execution with
his weapon. It Is an established fact that
a large sword flshoan ram through eight
Inches of oak. When,, the combat had con
tlnued for fifteen rnjnptes the shark accom
pushed what appeared to be his objective
point. He obtained- grip with hla teeth
upon the whale's jaw and as he clung
there delivered blew, after blow upon his
monster enemy's quryertng side. The sword
fish did not leip ful'.y out of the water, as
did the other two, but it was plain from
the behavior of the whale, when hs dove
for a respite from the thrasher, that he
was being given an uncomfortable time
below. '.
And so the tight raged. The whale,
I driven from the depths by the sword fish,
would leap clear of the water, and then,
falling back, would dash back and forth
until finally the water was dyed red all
about.' At each convulsive leap toward the
end of the fight the whale seemed to grow
weaker, while the thrasher and the sword
fish maintained their strength. There was
only one way for the battle to terminate,
and so in the end the whale lay still upon
the surfaoe. He was dead. When all waa
over our ship gathered way and proceeded
to the Klondike." Chicago Chronicle.
HORSE SAVES MASTER'S LIFE
Rescnes a Man Aboat te Be Trampled
to Death by a Pagraaeloas
. Ball.
A story of a horse that Is a hero comes
from Jackson, Tcnn. "Bob" Hunt, a stock'
man, owns a beautiful gray stallion and a
fine Jersey bull. The latter Is a vicious
animal and on more than one occasion has
shown a pugnacious disposition. Usually a
pitchfork serves to frighten htm off from
about ths barn or pasture.
Last week Mr. 'Hunt, In company with a
small boy, was crossing the pasture leading
the stallion. Suddenly the bull appeared
upon the scene and showed evidence of
wanting to fight. Mr. Hunt gave the halt
rein to the boy and thought hs would dri
the irate animal away. The bull started to
flee, but changed his mind after running a
short distance and discovering hla pursuer
did not have the dread pitchfork, he low
ered his head and charged upon his master.
Mr. Hunt attempted to run and fell. The
bull butted him aa he passed and it looked
for a moment aa If Mr. Mum would be
gored to death. The boy dropped the rein
of the atalllon and atartea ror neip
It waa then that the noble animal proved
himself faithful to his master and was a
real hero. Rearing on his hind fee with
a snort of defiance, he bore down upon th
bull, which In the meantime had returned
a second Time upon Jr. uum
about to trample him to death. The horse
bit a large piece of "beef and hair" out o
DU" " TT . " ,'
and. wheeling, planted both rear heels In
the bull's back at the opportune moment,
the libs of his opponent, almost sending
him to the earth and causing him to roar
with pain. Ths bull left his prostrate vic
tim and fled In terror, with the horse pur
suing him. taking chunks of hlds and flesh
every few steps until he had neen cnasea
to tho bottom. The horse then returned to
his master.

AN UNAVERTED TRAGEDY

Iter Fate.
I
Vanity, Cheerfulness and Envy once on a
time fell In, and. although the relations be
tween them were not always so harmonious
as might be, they Journeyed on for some
time together.
By and by. ns they traveled along the
highway, they saw a beautiful girl in the
distance, weeping.
"Hurry on," said Cheerfulness, "and let
us relieve the poor creature. She Is weep
ing because there Is no ons to love her."
"There is no hurry," said Vanity. "Don't
you know that all vain things come to
those who waitT"
Cheerfulness, however, paid no attention,
but went forward swiftly to where tho
maiden sat and tenderly wiped her eyes
and bade her smile.
"If you wish to be loved," said Cheerful
ness, "you must appear to be happy."
Vanity and Envy now came along.
"Shall we have anything to do with her?"
said Envy to Vanity.
"I will If you will," sold Vanity. "Of
course, if she wishes to be loveil, one of us
alone will not be able to help her. If she
la only vain, she will bo too much satis
fied with hereself. But if she Is envious,
too. this will stimulate her to do her best,
while vanity will give her that confidence
so necessary to win."
"All right," said Envy. "Let's help her
out"
Cheerfulness, thereupon, laughed and
withdrew.
"I was ready," she said, "to comfort
that young woman, but I've had enough of
your company, my friends, so I wljl go on
alone."
And she Journeyed on.
TbVyoung girl, left alone with only Van
ity and Envy, did not weep again. She did
not care to make her eyes red.
While she sat, In a brown study, stirred
by new feelings that ahe never had before.
Avarice, Ambition and Snobbishness came
along.
"Hello!" said Avarice. "Here's Envy
and Vanity with a new subject Just the
place for us three! She's beautiful, too!"
So they stopped and Joined the others.
Avarice set her teeth together with de
sire; Ambition swelled her breast with en
ergy; Snobbishness set her Hps in scorn,
while Envy and Vanity worked at her
heart .
Cupid, with his bow and arrows, about
the same time cams along.
When he saw a creature so beautiful In
the hands of so degenerate a craw, he
stopped and sighed.
"Alaa!" he cried. "This thing of late
years is happening altogether too often!
I'm not a pessimist I don't believe that
ths world la growing worse. But It doea
seem as If these young girls of ours some
times deserve a better fate. I haven't the
ugmeei ooubt in the world that this
beautiful maiden "will within a year be a
leading member of the best society and
marry a millionaire old enough to be her
father."
So saying, be shrugged his diminutive
shoulders and passed on. Tom Masson in

"The Missouri meerschaum is doing more
than all other agencies that are arrayed
against weak man to crush hla good reso
lutions to quit smoking," said Colonel O. W.
Waters of ths State Board of Agriculture
to a crowd of farmers at the corn show.
"A man can very easily awear oil from
smoking an ordinary cigar cf manu
factured tobacco, as they call it. In a brier
pipe, but when he becomes addicted to
twist and a Missouri meerschaum he's
gone for keepa aa far as that vice is con
cerned. "I have Just come up v from Franklin
county, wbsro they grow Missouri meer
schaums. Ths farmers down there raise
corn for the cobs, because they get more
for them than they do for the grain that
grows on them.
"Jt la called the Collier corn. The cobs
are unusually large and woody. They are
not porous like the ordinary corn cob.
,"A patented preparation is applied to
the Inside of the pipe and the outside Is
run through a lathe and polished. After
that it is varnished. I
"When the reed stem Is inserted and you
load it with a handful of long green you
have the finest smoke In. the world, one
that the sultan might envy.
"The manufacture of corn cob plpea In
Franklin county haa built up Washington
until It has become a city of considerable
Importance. There are four factories turn
ing out 4,000.000 corn cob pipes every year.
"You can't get 'em anywhere els In ths
world not the real thing. One of the
factories has a capacity of 100,000 pipes a
day. Four hundred men and women find
constant employment In these factories.
"The farmer gets from 26 to 60 cents a
hundred for his cobs. Two pipes are made
from each cob, one from the butt and the
other from the center.' The grade made
from the butt Is a shade ths more ex
pensive, because a little mors solid than
the other.
"The raising of corn for cob pipes wears
out ths land much faster than the ordinary
small, cob variety, because more potash
from the soil goes into the cob than Into
the grain." New York Bun.
