' Misinformation Corrected. The Pioneer erred last night when it stated that an affidavit of pre- judice had been filed against Sheriff " Hazen by John Gibbons, John Flat- ley’s attorney. The affidavit was filed by the county attorney. - As far as the Pioneer knows, there is nothing but friendly feelings between the sheriff’s office and Mr. Flatley’s at- torneys. On the Chafing Dish. The next article by Elizabeth Lew- ison will apepar in the Daily Pioneer next Monday and the Weekly Pioneer next Thursday and will be on the “Chafing Dish.” The article will contain receipes for several well liked “dishes that are easily prepared, on short notice, over an alcohol burner. In the coming weeks, Miss Lewison plans to have articles on preparation of soups, entrees, meats, vegetables, desserts, etc.. Those Primaries Again. Taft is not enthusiastic over the holding of preferential primaries. Neither would anyone else in his shoes. After the upper cut handed him in North Dakota, followed by a jab to the head in Wisconsin and a solar plexus in Illinois it is no wond- er that he does not like primaries. P. 8. We have a hunch all our own that a state primary in Minnesota would handle ‘Fortunatus Eberhart about the same way the above men- tioned states have Mr. Taft. Weaver’s Hat. Ed Weaver's hat did not stay in the gubernatorial ring for any length of time. There was but a few hours difference between the announcing of the candidacy of L. C. Sponer and the withdrawl of Mr. Weaver. This may not have any.significance but there are many who believe that Spooner is the logical man to lead the fight on Eberhart and to them Weavers candidacy was a joke. Anyway, Mr. Weaver took his hat back while it was still in good con- dition—which may be more than some of the others will be able to say after the state convention. MASTER-SMITH OF THE DAY Produces Steel of Cutting Capacity Surpassing Work of Legendary Swordmaker. We are all familiar ‘with the old- time legends of the master-smith, who, | by his skill at the forge, was-able to produce for the hero of the tale & weapon which should cut through the armor of glant or wizard and main- tain its temper and edge against all tests. The modern industrial captain ‘has to cut his way also through metal,| and one of-the ‘notable achievements of the engineer and metallurgist has been his success in the production of steels of hardness and cutting ca- pacity which, altogether surpass the finest ‘work of the legendary sward- maker, Not content with the manufacture of tool ‘steel of hardness, ‘high:speed cutting capacity and exquisite temper, the modern master-smith has now. pro- duced a method of converting soft iron or low-grade steel into tool-steel of the highest grade simply by the in- |. fuslon of the necessary proportion of carbon and other elements by contact and ‘proper heat treatment, so that keen-edged. chisels may be made from railroad spikes and machine cutters from soft and. inexpensive steel. Trials of cutting tools made by the infusionprocess at the ordnance bureau of the United States navy department have given such remarkable ‘results, both as to cutting speed and endur- ance, that the chief of the bureau says: treated samples, it appears superior to any hardening. process now in use at the naval gun factory,” so that the modern master-smith has outstripped the fabled tales of the wizard ‘weap- on-maker of mediaeval times. HELPLESS ‘WHEN ON ITS BACK Predicament of Camel Means ‘Much Hard Work and Is Conducive to Profanity. The “ship of the desert,” Tike any other ship, may be capsized, and in that predicament the camel is-sald to be absolutely helpless under certain conditions. The queer beast’s manner of lying down to rest I8 to fold his legs be- neath - his body. If he happens ‘to roll upon his side he cannot recover his feet again. This infirmity of the animal was amusingly illustrated in the experience of a French explorer ‘Whose caravan was made up of cam- els. The ‘leader had bought some new ones and had no idea of taking any other animals into a country largely composed of loose sand. Trouble be- gan at the very outset. One camel, as awkward as any of the species, man- aged to tumble into a ditch of thick mud between the road and & wheat field. When once fallen a camel can only get up again if he can arrange his feet conveniently under him and | if the ground is nearly flat. In this case it was not'go.’ The ant- mal lay with all four feet:in the air, perfectly resigned and incapable of a single movement to help himself. To draw him out required more than half an hour and took the united efforts of many men with cords passed une der the camel’s back, PRACTICAL GIFT FOR BEGGAR 8tranger May Have Meant Well, but His Kindness Was Not In the Least Appreciated. ¥ After - suffering excruciating tor tures for six months from doubling up a-perfectly sound leg to fit on & ‘wooden ‘stump the crutch-bearing beg- gar finally succeeded In eliciting sym- pathy from a passerby. With kindly eyes the stranger eyed the cripple from top to toe. “You seem to be in a ‘pretty bad way,” he sald. “Yes, 8ir,” whined the 'cripple. “Couldn’t be much worse.” “Too -bad,” sald the sympathizer. “I must ‘see 1if something gan’t be done for you.” Hope beat strongly in the beggar's breast and he murmured “God bless you,” with unusual fervor. Two days later the sympathizer ap- peared again and ostentatiously pre- sented the cripple ‘with the material- fzation of his benevolent intentions. He gave him a new crutch. Sterllized Coal. Coal in the mines is one of the things freest from germs. Old-time doctors used to motice coal miners’® wounds healed fast, though begrimed and besmeared with coal dust, For & long time it has been thought that breathing in coal dust caused lung dis- eases in miners. Some -experts find fresh coal 18 as good as'sterilized, and say ‘miners have lung trouble because they do not take the trouble to put oft their damp and sweaty clothing be- fore golng from the mine to thelr homes, thus taking cold in the open air walk. Experts say our miners ought to put on warm and dry clothes 8t the mouth of the mine. But it peems the miners-have minds of their own, and -although the coal companies In some places fixed up hot and cold ‘water baths and dressing rooms at the mouth of the mines the men would not use them, but went home to wash pnd dress, as hld been their custom for generations. American manners. - Frederick Townsend - Martin, at & @inner in New York, criticized Amer- fcan manners wittily. “Kipling,”. he 'said, ' “declares truly that a:gentleman has manner, w le & would-be gentleman has ‘manners. We should remember that. We lay too much stress on such detalls as taking off our hats when we go up in the elevator with a scrubwoman. “In fact, in everything, we seem to pearch too uneasily for the correct, Don’t be surprised if you have an attack of rheumatism this -spring.

Tal ‘Mexican War Map, L Presideént Taft has a map of Mexico dotted over with red, yellow and green headed tacks. This is the pres- ident’s war map and it stands in his office close to; his desk. Every time a telegrdm of - moment comes from Mexico the president changes the po- sition of theitacks. Some of the tacks have llme pennants attached to them’which show the camps of the federal and insurgent troops in. Mex- fce. 1t'is by means of this map and the constant changing of the marks of ldentification that the president keeps In touch with the Mexican situation up to the last instant. ., Since. -conditfons have become 80 eritical in Mexico, the acting secretary of state, Huntington Wilson, who is re- sponsible for the map, has placed one man at.the map who gives his entire Yime to keeping it corrected up to the minute. “Many times a day the tele- graph keys at the state department, Just across ‘the street, click off a doz- en codewords, which an operator slowly ‘unsn to form a message,; the dafly: report, perhaps, of the con- eul at Durango, Mexico, announcing the advance of the federal forces towards Velardena, where one. hun- dred Americans were penned up ewaiting rellef. In a little while the man in charge of the map crosses over from the state department to the White House, enters the cabinet room, and advances one of the green- headed tacks on the map. Kept Well Informed. At the war department, the depart: ment of justice; and the war college, other code messages are elicking oft' the department of justice &~ border raid or threatened gathering of troops south of Juarez. - To the war depart: ment Colonel _Steever ' reports the sending of American cavalry to some troublous border point. Likewise, the war college i8 told of each bridge! ‘burned and each raflway track de- ‘stroyed. ‘From! Chihuahua in the north | to Chiapas in‘the south'the consular}| ington are scattered, there being also many officials and- of- ficers on duty on-the border. Every move of federals and rebels is re- ported. The Americans are counted; even the money which each could se- cure to flee the country is learned. All of this information is transferred to the map in:the cabinet room. Each colored. tack tells a story—the loca- tion of federal and rebel forces, con- ditions of unrest or anarchy, or the _opinions of the consuls as to the safety of American lives or interests, In this way President Taft is kept in touch day by day with the rapidly- changing conditions - in - Mexico. "~ On #ome ' days, at the 'state department alone, nearly 80 reports are recelved from consular officers and from the embassy in Mexico City. There is 8 duplicate ‘of ‘the--presfdent’s map in the-office of the acting secretary of state; -and another one is kept at the ‘war college. 1. ~ Telegrams are constantly coming in Yo the White House and to the state dewtm t, sking protection for some American citizen or for Amer- “can ‘property in Mexico.
