An Incident in Edison's Early Life.

In telegraphy, operators are taught re-
ceivers must be born says writer in st
Nicholas. Equipped by nature and training
Edison gave up the newsboy life, in which hd
had earned in four years $1,000, the greater
part of which he gave to his parents.
Now began his migratory career as a tee
graph operator Many ups and downs were
his. Often he was cold, hungry, and shelter
less, for the Unsuitable impulse to experiment
TO the neglect of his duties kept him Contll'
ally out of work. One day he reveled in the
praises his ingenuity evoked the next, no
was dubbed 'Luny' and turned adrift.
Perhaps his most ingenious bOyhoOd tea5
was performed during an ice Jam that broke
the cable between Port Huron in Michigan
and Sarnia in Canada. The river at this POM
is a mile and half wide. The ice made The
river impossible. ana there was no way o.
repairing the cable.
Edison impulstvely jumped on locomotEs
and seized the valve controlling the whistle,
He had an idea that the blasts Of the whistle
might be broken into long and short SOUNDS
corresponding to the dots and dashes OF tole3
raphy. In moment the whistle soundel

No answer.

A third, fourth. and fifth time the messa55
went across, to receive no response. Flnally
the operator on the other side understood;
Answering "toots' came cheerfully back, ALL

SHREWD RED FOXES.
A Scheme by Which They Got Rid of
Pack of Hounds

Pack of Hounds.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
public writing from Otterville, Mo. says:
About fifteen years ago some red foxes
were brought here from Kentucky by Mr.
A. A. Walker, of Pleasant Green, and
turned loose in pairs to go forth and re-
plenish the earth They have certainly
done so as far as this part of the earth is
concerned, for they have become exceed
ingly numerous, so much so that they are
a great nuisance in the destruction of
pigs, lambs, game and poultry. They are
how being hunted both for sport and ex-
termination. The sportsman soon dis
covered that the common hound is en-
tirely inadequate 10 the task of capturing
foxes, and regular foxhounds of the best
blood have been imported. Many tricks
were resOrted to by which the foxes
evaded their enemies. The animals had
observed that the trains on the Missouri
Pacific railroad ran by regularly at the
same time each day. The next time they
We're disturbed they relieved each other
alternately in the race until the train was
almost due, when Mr.. Fox, taking the last
resort led the pack slowly toward the
railroad, allowing them to get very close
and as 4 consequence the hounds became
very much excited and made great deal
of noise on the hot trail, and so could not
hear the approaching train. Mr. Fox
was so accurately on time that when he
struck the track the fast express was in
sight The wise and daring Mr.. Fox
took up the center of the track toward
the flying engine and barely had time to
pass through a long cut and Jump from
the track when the great engine came
steaming and laundering past at a fearful
rate of speed No doubt Reynard felt a
sensation of sweet revenge as he leaped
safely away, and CHANGING backward, to
see the fiery machine dash down
upon his bowling enemies. Mr. Fox
no doubt expected complete destruction
of his pursuers, but only two of the dogs
were hushed forever. This was encour
aging enough for the scheming trickster
TO repeat the strategy until many dog
was laid low
Other shrewd tricks have been resorted
to, but the latest and most daring was
that of few nights ago. Mr.. r. H Bur
nett farmer living in the vicinity of
these foxes, heard pack of hounds an
preaching his house about midni@ht
They made no halt until they reached the
back door, when they seemed to lose the
track entirely. After several minutes
yelping and diagnosing or some other
'nosing' about the back yard, one good
old reliable trailer sounded the fresh trail
note at the kitchen door. In a moment
the whole pack was at his heels. and all
came suutfing and believing through the
kitchen, dining room and front room. and
out at the front window which happened
to be open, and struck straight for the
railroad as though they were on fresh
trail.

a REGIMENTAL DRILL.
The Government Forces are
Given Moonlight
Parade.

the sidewalks on both sides of
Palace square were crowded last
evening with people who had
turned out to see the moonlight
drill given to the government
troops. The full moon made the
night almost as bright as day, and
all the maneuvers could be seen
perfectly.
All the volunteer companies had
turned out, and each of the six
companies had nearly its full COM
pliment of men. The drilling was
above the average, and the way
each order was executed showed
careful and constant drilling.
After marching and counter
marching on the square, the troops,
headed by the band, were marched
out King street to Alapai, thence
to Beretania street, down Beretania
to Fort street, then to King and
back to the square.
The drill was all over about 9
o'clock.

Mats, an article you are in need
of since the heavy mud-pro-

mats are not a fancy thing
that will wear out in a little
while, but a strong, service
able steel mat that will last
forever. The one at our front

years and has withstood the
tramping of thousands of feet.
If you have a steel mat and
want something for the door

paying.
There's something about the
quality of our silverWare that
makes people want it. Last
week we had a run on it that
overtops anything of the kind
we have ever experienced. We
aim to get the best of every

is by the use of stays and

STA LIGHTER OF INOFFEN
SIVE MATABELES.
The English Press Aroused
Against the Atrocities in
South Africa.

LONDON, October 29.-The public
mind is fully occupied with the
troubles in South Africa, which
have assumed a dual importance,
inasmuch as not only the future of
Matabeleland, but the future of the
South African company itself is
now involved therein, owing to the
strong fight thrown upon the COM
pany's proceedings and history by
an influential section of the Eng
lish press. The London Chron-
icle leads the attack on the COM
pany and is ably seconded by
Henry Labouchere in Truth, while
the News does not spare it.
The company is described as
bankrupt, and its attempt to ac-
quire Matabele and is said to be
the last card of desperate men.
The stories of the atrocities which
the company's forces are declared
to have committed in order to force
the Matabeles into war, excites,
however, even more attention than
the review of the seamy side of the
company's promotion and it's pres
ent financial position.
Settler Davis version of the Sc
called Matabele raid, although
officially declared to be inaccurate,
is supported by other colonists. In
letter to Labouchere the writer
maintains that the Matabeles were
simply massacred. Between twenty
five and thirty were killed, and in
his own words, at was like buck
shooting, for the poors devils took
to their heels, and we galloped up
and shot them down point blank"
If the statement of another set
tier can be relied upon, such
slaughter would create little sur
prise, as the writer describes the
company's men as having been re-
cruited at Johannesburg, and as
the sweepings of the town and the
police courts. A more degraded
lot could scarcely be imagined.
The Staying of the Matabele en-
voys in cold blood at Adams camp
is severely commented upon, as the
official explanations are decidedly
unsatisfactory.
The News today says: "Sir Henry
Loch's account is a wretchedly I'M
satisfactory story. 1t may wear
another aspect when the details ar
rive, but it seems a sickening bust
ness as it stands. 1t does not stand
alone. There is a dark story of |
the wholesale destruction of the |
helpless creatures forming the tail
end of the impi. We want more
daylight on the whole business"
An interview is published today
with Charles Rudd, originator of
the famous Rudd mining con-
cessions obtained from Lobengula
five years ago and since &C
CURED by the chartered company.
He declares that Lobengula is
not so black as he has been
painted. He himself found
Lobengula genuinely friendly, and
he was a just magistrate among
his own people. His cruelty is
only a national trait. His feelingt
toward the whites were eviden-
when three regiments danced be-
fore him, demanding to be allawed
to kill Rudd and his friends. Lo-
Dengula refused, saying, "They are
my guests"

The usual row is being raised in
the house of commons over the
treatment accorded to the savage
Matabeles in Africa. One member
wished to know whether the gov
eminent approved of the murder of
the Matabeles for the purpose of
plundering and selling their lands, y
but was promptly called to order
by the speaker. No doubt the peo-
pie who are sympathizing with the
Matabeles can produce considerable
evidence that the English are not
treating them with tenderness, but
they will keep out of sight the fact
that these savages, who are neither
capable nor DESTROYS of utilizing
the vast and fertile territories in
tested by them, have evidently de-
termined to prevent the settlement
of the country by the whites. In
