Haldeman Is Stricken While at Horse Races. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 28.—-Gen eral W. B. Haldeman, 78, com mander-in-chief of the United Con federate Veterans, wearing the honors of long, active years, last night had answered the final roll call and gone to rejoin those com rades in gray whose cause he had served since it first called him from his school books a boy of 16. Heart Attack. General Haldeman, at one time part owner of the Courier-Journal, died late yesterday from a heart attack in the emergency hospital at Churchill Downs. He had been stricken a half hour before while watching the races, his favorite sport. Seated in a box, surrounded by scenes and friends he loved, the white-haired old soldier complained of feeling ill, and' suggested he should-go home. He was assisted Jrom the box, but before he could reach his automobile the attack had so overcome him it was neces sary to call for a stretcher to carry him to the track hospital. His Last Words. ft I am nauseated,” he murmured, as he was borne into the hospital. And these were his last words. General Haldeman, who had val iiantly resisted the infirmities of age, suffered an attack about two weeks ago while addressing the United Daughters of the Confed eracy at their state convention in Frankfort. He was similarly stricken last Thursday at Churchill Downs, but he had returned to the races, ap parently completely recovered. Dies Before Wife Arrives. Soon after General Haldeman was stricken his chauffeur brought Big Improvements at little cost With Sheetrock I PS money wonderful when you what remodel you can with do Sheetrock, for a little the fireproof wallboard.

Mirage Produced by Passage of Light Rays The mirage Is an optical Illusion In which Images of distant objects ase seen as If inverted or raised In the nlr, says the Detroit News, This phenomenon was first ex plained by a Frenchman who went with Napoleon on hjs first expedi tion in Egypt, where mirages are very common. The phenomenon Is due to the rays of light being changed In their direction when passing through colder or hotter strata of air. Lay ers of air In contact with the Bur face of deserts become greatiy ex panded and rarefied, while those immediately above remain denser, thus causing the light rays to be bent upward. However, over wa ter the condition is Just the re verse. tHan Tllf layers above areVfirm er those next to JltS water. When an object appears to be lifted above Its real position in the phe nomenon It Is called looming. In the case of looming the reflection Is from the sky while in ordinary mirage It Is from the earth. Mirages are common In Egypt, Persia, Turkestan, California, Nevada and Alaska. Hog* Followed Owner Hogs usually are neither intelli gent nor Companionable, but like other animals they do not always run true to type. In moving from one farm to another, perhaps ten miles away, Mr. Turner, a farmer of the Kentucky hills, decided, writes a contributor to the Youth's Compimlon, to leave his herd of forty swine In an open field at his old home until the following morn ing when he would return for them. Next morning he was up early^in his new house, making preparations for the arduous task of driving be fore him over rough mountain roads two score hogs, any or all of which might prove refractory. But when he emerged from the house into tho front yard Imagine his antonishment at seeing his hogs, all forty of them, standing before 1 him at tho gate! Were the hogs so much attached to their owner that they followed him to his new home? Or did they follow the trail of the farmer's cat tle? The owner and all the neigh bors, too, were completely mysti fied. <« Tb Walk Spanith To make a'person “walk Span ish” Is to make him come up to time, or to make him act under com pulsion.

Interbred Chicken* The origin of the Rhode Island Red chicken was similar to that of the Buff Orpington In England. It was a local race of poultry found extensively In Rhode Island, pro duced by the farmers themselves without any definite breeding and from uncertain stock. It Is thought by some authorities that a consid erable foundation of this local Rhode Island poultry was an old smooth-legged Cochin-China stock; but that ordinary Cochins were also largely bred Is undoubted, and there Is strong evidence that the Astatic stock was considerably crossed Intermingled with Brown Leghorns #• C JhV hrir:- t.
