PAGETWO .. . . WILD ANIMALS HUNTEI] DOWN ‘wemment Hunters Kill Many Beasts . That Destroy. Live Stock. WORK OF VALLE T0 FARMERS Mountalin Lion That Had Killed $1,000 Worth of Stock in Month s * Slain—Wolves Lay Heavy Toll on Flocks. ‘Washington. — You would hardly think of the United States department of agriculture as an agency for hunt- ing down desperadoes, but it is. That the desperadoes happen to be not men ‘but wild danimals does not detract elther from the adventure or the value «©f the work. Now and then a wild ‘animal becomes notorious for its ex- Jploits in killing live stock. The in- spectors of the bureau of biological ‘survey make special efforts to hunt down and kill such animals. A moun- #ain lion that was known to have de- istroyed $1,000 worth of live stock in jone month was killed near Dubofis, ‘Wyo., a few months ago. That the animal had eluded many private hunt- ers was shown by the number of scars «on the body. Another mountain lion taken in April had killed seven colts iduring the spring. In the same state ia pair of wolves that had destroyed $2,500 worth of liive stock was killed, the female by a government hunter and the male by a private hunter. Ranch. Owner Loses 300 Sheep.

But not all of the bad beasts have been disposed of. About 30 very cun- ning wolves still roam the ranges of New Mexico, causing annual losses to llve stock amounting to about $2.000 each. When the department’s cam- paign for destruction of predatory ani- mals began, however, there were be- tween 300 and 400 wolves in the state, The small number remaining, though _ made up of the most cunning and de- structive individuals of the packs, is being steadily reduced, in spite of the fact that the stock of wolves In that state is constantly recruited by strag- glers from the mountains of northern Chihuahua, Mexico. MOVIE FAITH EXCUSES JUROR Films Convince Him Only Direct Evidence Is Sufficient to Con- vict. [ e Cleveland, Ohlo.—That the “movies” wphold the doctrine of the unreliabil- ity of circumstantial evidence was the contention of a prospective juror who was being examined by Assistant County Prosecutor Rothkopf, I The venireman was J. E. Hagaman, proprietor of a motion picture the- ater! member of a special venire in the case of Theodore Geroff, charged with first degree murder. “If the court directed that circum- stantiai evidence sometimes should be glven more weight than direct evi- dence, would you follow the court’s instructions?” Mr. Rothkopf asked. “No.” was the reply. “I've seen so many motion pictures in which such evidence is discredited that I couldn't give any weight to it in any case.” +As, Mr. Hagaman also objected to capital punishment he was excused from duty. SCOTS WOULD BAN ‘MACBETH’ Shakespeare's Play Libel to King, Is Claim of League of Veterans o; World War. New York.—A resolution demancing the elimination of Shakespeare's “Mac- beth” from school curriculums on the ground that it was a libel on the Scotch in its “misinterpretation in pre- senting King Macbeth as a traitor and murderer,” was adopted here by the League of Scottish veterans of the world war. The resolution was addressed to the Newark (N. J.) board of education, ‘which recently barred “The Merchant of Venice” from the schools because -of the alleged slander ‘to the Jewish race. “If they have banned Shylock, I see ‘no reason why they should not ban Macbeth, said Capt. Ian McTavish. “If the Jewish gaberdine is to be elelned they should als remove me Tiflis, Capital of New Georgian Re- public, by No Means Typical of the East. Mr, Y.clville Chater, recording im- pressions in the Natlonal Geographic Magazine, -admits that he was sur- prised when he arrived in Tiflis, cap- ital of the new Georgian republic. He had expected a city more suggestive of the East, as the Western mind.plc- tures it; but the Golovinsky prospekt, the main thoroflghtare through ‘the heart of the city, stretched before him, “as handsome a bit of modern metro- politanism as can be found anywhere,” and its restaurants, shops, opera, and what used to be the viceregal palace but which now flies the standard of the new nation, suggested at once the French adjective *chic.” More than that, this new capital was brilllant with uniforms, Russian, Georgian, Ar- menian, British, and most picturesque of all, the Caucasian costume, with its broad-shouldered, wash-waisted coat, high, heelless boots, and astrakhan cap. One marveled at the load of weapons that completed it;*a sword rattling and clanking with the wear- er’s ‘martial stride, a brace of pistols, a pair of daggers, and a collection of what looked like enormous fountain pens hung across the Caucasian bosom, but which turned out to be hollow tubes intended: to be loaded with powder and shot. One must add stiff ' mustaches and - a - close-shaven sknlf to picture this Georgian in all bis glory on:the Golovinsky prospekt of his naticnal capital. Clothing for. civilians is scarce and expensive in Tifils, but the cast-off uniforms of military officers are for sale, and many a citizen in need of a new suit had bought himself an old uniform.

Red-haired people are generally sup- posed to bé hot tempered. They are inclined to be hasty, but are never vin- dictive. This quickness of temper is due to impulsiveness and a love of speaking out what they have in mind. They are usually of a sunny disposi- tion and are honest and truthful, but rather vain and eager for admiration.
