GOVERNMENT WINS SUIT. (By United Press.) Washingtofi;“Nov.” 17.—The gov- ernment won its suit in the supreme court today, to take from the South- ern Pacilc ‘ railroad- valuable ofl lands near Elk Hills.

A Cape Town (South Africa) paper.tells of a baboon mascot which had been wounded in the trenches, and which appeared among the re- turning troops dressed in khaki coat and hat, with a lance corporal stripe, wousd stripe and good conduct rib- bon. His left hind leg had been left in France. The friend who sends us the clipping, says “Our Dumb Ani- mals,” wonders what is to become of this unfortunate creature. There is a fear that some traveling show will buy him for exhibition. This would be a sad reward for the experiences through which he has come. ** NOT USED YO THE GAME. -“You could have heard a pin drop while the leading man held the lead- ing lady in passionate embrace.” SWell 2 army parading in front of the official | - “That’s why I lost patience when residence of Premier Lloyd George, 10 | the musical director spoiled the ‘Downing street, London, in chains as a protest against the treatment accorded the war veterans by the British gove ‘ernment.
