Children 25c ALIENS ASK MONEY BALM FOR ARREST| St. Paul, Minn,, Aus.'lO"—Di ages totaling $69,000 are demanded from the United States by nine Ri sians and four Austrians, who were held tefi’ months in jail in Interna- tional Falls by the federal authori- ties as witnesses in a civil actfon. Additional recompense .of $30;000 s asked in behalf of the family of a fifth ‘Austrian’ who died whilé in {jail’ at International Falls. The' cases are being handled by the attorney for the Russian consul vgenara'l at Chicago and the Austrian consul here. The arrest of the men came about through their employment by ' the Northwestern Construction: company on the St. Francis river between the United States ‘and Canada. ' Because they landed on the American side, the men were promptly taken in charge by the general immigration officers and .then held as witnesses in a suit brought against the construc- tion company for the alleged violation of the alien labor law. The govern- ment lost the case. Father of Medicine. Aesculapius was styled the father of medicine and the god of medicine with equal propriety, as it is not certain whether he was half god or mere man. His pedigree 18 involved in the magzes of mythology. He is represented as having practiced medicine so success- fully as not only to have prevented the death of the living, but to have recall- ed the dead to life. Tradition says-that Jupiter, for some offense, slew him with a thunderbolt, and after his death he received divine honors. One of his whims was to invest the serpent with a sort of sacred character as the sym- bol of veneration and also because of its supposed power of discovering heal- ing herbs., A heroic sized statue of him in Berlin represents him as lean- ing on a staff around which is coiled a huge snake that rests its head in friendly fashion on his arms. Aescu- lapius had two daughters, whose names are preserved in modern Eng- lish—Hygeia and Panacea.—Philadel- phia Press. When . Connedticut Owned Chicago. Connecticut once claimed the terri- tory Chicago now occupies. This was at the close of the Revolutionary war, when what is now Chicago was only a ruined fort, built long before, and call- ed Che-caw-gou. In 1783 Massachu- setts, Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia claimed to own the territory west of them as far as the Mississippi river, although the territories of Massachu- setts and Connecticut were interrupted by parts of New York and Pennsyl- vania. The line between Massachu- setts and Connecticut came a little north of what is now Chicago. It was Maryland that reduced these huge do- mains. Having no western territory herself, she refused to accept the arti- cles of confederation unless the other states would agree to cede the western territorieg ;to the confederation itself, to be made in course of time, into new states. lacier Protection. Protecting itself against a glacier is the peculiar problem that confronts the town of Valdez, Alaska. This glacler, situated between mountain masses sev- eral miles away, has proved dangerous in periods of long sunshine, when great masses of ice sometimes fall to the ground, releasing tons of water that had been held in pools and ponds on the glacier. The water rushing to the town picked up trees and bowlders on the way, often doing considerable dam- nge, as in 1911, when 108 structures were carried to the ocean. United States army officers conceived the idea of preventing the recurrence of such floods by the construction of a dike. The dike is in a general U shape, so constructed that the town lles within the arms out of reach of the water. It is 7,500 feet long and six feet wide, constructed of earth. During flood times guards patrol the dike ready to glve warning if any weakness or break is discovered.—Technical World. The Good Birds Do. The department of agriculture in- forms us that out of fifty species of hawks and owls only four are actually injurious fo crops. One observer tells us that he has seen with his own eyes an owl of his acquaintance swallowing nine fleld mice, one after another, un- til the tail of the last remained in evi- .dence. However, in four hours, this meal having been digested with no ap- parent effort, the owl was ready for four more mice. The old hawk and his wife will consume a round dozen -of mice each during a single day, and in two months’ time their youthful brood will devour a similar quantity. It has been stated that a colony of hawks will kill 10,000 rodents in three months’ time. We all know what damage mice perpetrate in our grain fields. The farmer may well spare a chicken or two from his henyard in payment for service rendered him by these birds of prey.—Countryside Magazine and Sub- urban Life. The House Centipede. The common house centipede 18 not & creature to be dreaded, although its bite 18 more or less poisonous, but there are so few cases on record of its biting human beings that the danger from this source may be said to be negligible. : On the other hand, the centipede is a valuable destroyer of other and far. more disagreeable ver- min. According to a bulletin of the United States department of agricul- ture, it feeds ‘on houseflies, cock- roaches, moths, bedbugs and other such pests. It does not eat holes in blankets, curtains, carpets or furniture. The centipede thrives in damp places, such as bathrooms, closets, cellars and conservatories; it loves hot water pipes and steam radiators. It is not an in- sect, but one'of the order of myriapods. | If by charnce a person be bitten by a centipede, bathing the spot with am- monia will speedily cure it. j _A glance at th; want column may lp you ul! it. 2 b U. 8, MUST TAKE OVER AFFAIRS OF HAITI (Continued “from trst page). ‘wl'ié"snught control. Can Take What He Wants. When a government is in such de- plorable condition as have been the last 20-odd governments of Haiti, the money lender naturally ‘owns the body and soul. Whatever the gov- ernment possesses that the creditor wants he can have. And the United States has begun to find it very dis- agreeable to its interests to have the Germans in such relationship to the harbor of Mole St. Nicholas, partic- ularly since the Panama canal was built. t 5 In 1911, the United States first in- sisted upon obtaining a representa- tion in the financial operations sus- taining the Haitien government. This was done on the same theory that it was attempted in China, namely, that it the United States had a direct in- terest in loans, it could check any move on the part of the other cred- itors that were inimical to American interests.. The United States .ob- tained a minority °interest. The Buropean interests, French and Ger- ‘man, prevailed. ‘When the 1911 measure proved unsuceessful by reason of a- succes- sion of revolutions financed largely by Haitien merchants, the United States contemplated consolidating the entire debt of the republic, refunding it through a loan from a first-class American house, reducing the rate of interest so that it would be less’ burdensome to the Haitien people, and handling through American agents the collection and disburse- ment of the customs, in order to end the grafting which was ruining the country. The fact that such a scheme would have ended the grafting was enough to earn the opposition of all the Hait- ien politicians. Efforts were re- peatedly made to carry the scheme through. Finally the European war put a temporary end to European op- position and now the French inter- ests are willing to sell out. But the Haitiens are still opposed to the plan. HOW TO ANSWER BLIND ADS.
