OUR CRITIC:

We understand our paper has been
criticised by that slow-footed old hypo-
crit, Squeak. As no one ever listens to
what the gossiping old imbecile has to
say, we shall not give him the showing
up we had intended, but shall content
ourself with relating an anecdote on
him.
We had always noticed what Pc
culiar white color his beard was and
how it seemed to- continue down past his
collar.
Our suspicious being aroused we made
some inquiries and found our critic had
been lifted out of Nebraska on fence
rail. Before Deaving, the thoughtful
citizens presented him with thick,
tight-ftting suit of tar and feathers,
which he has never been able to remove.
He now goes around passing off the
feathers on his face for gray beard.
Readers, this is the man who passes

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER
THE ELECTIONS.

There is but one way to look at
the elections of last Tuesday in the
light of the latest returns. The Re-
publican party has met a reverse
where il did not look for it
In OHIO a Republican majority of
&C, CU0 has been overcome. 1t is
nonsense for Republican journals to
try and twist the figures and blind
their readers with the idsa that the
party has made gains. 1t IS not
easy at this distance or at this time
to analyze these results, but there
is no doubt that the attempt to give
Foraker third term was bad policy.
1t is an unwritten law of the Re-
publican party that the third term
must 20, and whenever the party
has attempted to saddle a third
term on the rank and file, they have
repudiated it. The returns oil Tues
day however should only serve as a
warning to the party to be more
careful and as warning the good
effect should not be lost.

Nation. Some days ago the Chero-
kee Commissioners sent Secretary
Mobiles proclamation, ordering the
cattlemen off the strip of Cherokee

Chief Mayes sent the Commissioner
a letter ia which he defies Congress,
the Attorney General and Secretary
Noble. He says the Government
cannot put the cattlemen off the
strip. Last night the Commissioner
sent Secretary Noble the following
telegram:
TAHLEoUAH, Nov. 5.-The talk

the Government is trying to bull

"What is she like"

How Hair Cloth Is Made.

Many people understand, of course, how
hair cloth is made, but for the edification of
those who do not we will explain the process
In the first place, horse hair cannot be dyed.
1t repels coloring matter; so to make black
cloth it is necessary to secure natural black
h&r. The horses, in many cases absolutely
wild, running unrestrained, are regularly
coralled and shorn. OF course black hair is
preferable, but sometimes gray stock is uti
lied Not only the tails but also the names
ire cut; the hair is punched These punches
seldom contain hairs of less length than two
feet; some are even three and three and one
laIf feet, and the thickness of the punches is
Usually two or three inches.
The hair cloth looms are provided with
what we may call a nipper, in place of shut
lie, and the nipper is so finely actuated that
t travels across the warp and seizes ION the
punches one hair only, the jaws of the nipper
eng too fine to grasp more than one, and
carries it across the weft threads, dropping
t into it's exact place The action of the
Dom mechanically forces Tine hair next to its
predecessor, the warp crosses upon it, snugly
holds it in its place, the nipper travels back
md seizes another, and SO on and on. The deli
:acy and almost human accuracy with which
Zach separate hair is placed between the warp
threads is really Observation-Disclosures

She Believed In TOnCS.

A long range globe sighted rife in the hands
of a marksman can be made to run up a
score of bulls eyes down a firing range, but
will it in the timber do better WORK on deer
than bored out musket loaded with nine
buckshot? The size of your game bag, or rather
bag of game, depends great deal on the
knowledge of the firearms you're used to. An
estimable English lady who came to Canada
some twenty-five years ago was one day
deeply interested in getting out the family
washing. She had sheets and tableclOths out
drying, when to her horror she saw the line
go down and her spotless clothes trampled in
the dirt. A large buck caught by the antlers
was the cause of the trouble
There was not man within five miles Of
ber-they had all gone to neighbours for the
day She screamed, and the deer, the more
he plunged the tighter he got wound up, and
the louder she yelled Something had to be
done and done at once. She had fine gun in
the house, loaded, but she would not approach
it, as firearms were her special dread. Among
her many possessions she had large pair of
tongs-fre tOngs-that she had brought over
with her. She thoroughly understood this
firearm, and, with all her housewifely in
stincts outraged, grabbed them and sailed in
She had her clothing slightly torn, but within
five minutes they had venison; she literally
pounded the bucks skull to jelly, after
which, she told me, she sat down and had a
good cry. 1t all depends on what you're
used to.-Forest and Stream.
