n Mouse Ran Down Her Throat.

A woman living in the vicinity of Ed
win Crary's drug store recently threw
up from her stomach a iull-groWn
mouse. The woman had not been feel
ing we'll during the morning, and about
II O'Clock complained to one of her
neighbors who found her laboring con
siderablv in her efforts to throw some
thing off her stomach. The neighbor,
however, laid the cause of the trouble
to something else, and when aphysi-
clan was called the patient was told by
him there was nothing serious the mat
ter. During the evening, however,
some medicine was obtained from
the drug store which acted as an
emetic, and the mouse then made
it's appearance. How the mouse could
have gained access to the stomach was
at first a mystery. The woman is a
heavy sleeper, and the only reasonable
explanation is that she fell asleep with
her mouth open and the mouse, bent
on exploring every unknown region
suitable for a hiding place, ran down
her throat, producing the next morn
ing the feeling of nausea which caused
the medicine to be sent for. The story
was d1sbelieved at the drug store till
the dead mouse was taken there and
exhibited to the unbelievers. The
woman has since experienced no bad
effects from the unwelcome visitor

ly the same. The sportsmen with guns
newly cleaned and their favorite dogs
eager for the trail are on the prairies,
skirting the base of the mountains for
game. The ruthless slaughter and al
most complete extinction of the buffalo
and other game has taught the West Il
lesson. and, much to the delight of the
true sportsman. stringent laws have
been enacted to preserve those birds
and wild animals that are good for food.
Large numbers OF plOver are reported,
more than usual in Texas. But this
bird is found generally in the plains
country. Grouse and prairie chickens
are the birds that now give the greatest
sport. In some parts the quail is sought
by the sportsman, but as SO many of
these birds have been killed for the
market during the past few years, the
laws have become very stringent, espe-
cially in the Middle and Western States.
The old quail hunts are not SO numer-
Gus and there is no open season for
quail, Monaghan pheasant, or ptarmigan
in Colorado. Thousands of quail, pur-
chased in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri
and California, have been turned loose
in the mountains, and although some
persisted in becoming accllmated, quall
will soon be numerous IN COLORADO.
The ptarmigan of the mountains, some
thing like the partridge, is wonderful
bird that is found high upin the ranges,
near the timber line. 1t lives near the
snow banks during the summer, but as
winter comes on, it gradually travels
lower down. The variation in It's plum
age makes the summer and winter specl-
mems of the ptarmigan, choice selections
for the cabinet. After becoming nearly
extinct, the ptarmigan ofthe mountains
now has no open season IN COLORADO
and the number is increasing again
The prairie chicken is not found IN
large numbers on the plains Gontlgu-
Gus to the Rocky Mountains. They are
more in the western prairie states IKE
Nebraska and Kansas.
In the mountains the willow grouse
and sage hen are sought at this season;
AS the name suggests, this KIND OF
grouse is found along the willows OF the
small mountain streams, ana III Tue
openings of the gulches, where they
widen out into the valleys. Inc cock

A Matter of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the dam
ger of an indiscrimlnate use Of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistencv by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most Of these powders are
made from sharp and caustlc acids and
alkalies which burn and lnt1ame the
alimentary organs and cause in
digestion, heartburn, diarhoeal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-pro
ducing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make a very low-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
ders so made, by all kinds of alluring
advertisements and false representa-
tons. All the low-priced or so-called
cheap baking powders, and all powders
sold with a gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chemical
ly pure cream of tartar and bi-carbonate
of soda are among the most useful of
modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation of finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the digestiblity and
whOlesomeness of our food. But bak-
ing powders must be composed of such
pure and wholesome ingredients or
they must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health of
New York, in an article in the doctor
of Hygiene" indicates that the advant-
ages of a good baking powder and the
exemption from the dangers of bad ones
in which the harsh and caustic chemi-
calls are used, are to be secured by the
use of Royal Baking Powder exclusive
lv, and he recommends this to all con-
sumers. '"rhe Royal" he says "con-
tains nothing but cream of tar
tar and soda refined to a chemi-
cal purity, which when combined I'M
der the influence of heat aud
moisture produce pure carbonic, or
leavening, gas. The two materials used !,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in eX-
act compromising weights, so that when
chemical action begins between them in
the dough they practically disappear,
the substance of both having been taken
to form carbonic-acid gas" Hence it is,
he says, that the Royal Baking Powder
is the most perfect of all conceivable
agents for leavening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufactures or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those of a
well-known, pure, and wholesome char
acter simply for the sake of few cents
pound greater profit; but since they
do, few words Of warning seem to be
necessary.

A Wiltshire Laborer's Bill of Fare.

The cred Van" of the Land Restora-
ton League has been visiting the viii
lagos and hamlets in Wiltshire, Eng
land, during the past few weeks, and
the lecturers have lent a helping hand
to the Willis General and Agricultural
Workers Union. This week the van
has been in West Willis. Speaking at Il
meeting in Kingston Deverill the other
evening. the lecturer, Mr.. Riley, said a
laborer's wife in East Willis had sup
piled him with details of how she man
aged to keep the family on lis week.
Her husband was cowman, receiving
that sum as wages, and their family
numbered seven-fve children, whose
ages ranged from ) to II. This is how
she spent the lis: Six gallons Of bread

Bv batting the waters with grain, the
wild fowls were lured near the edge,
where a large net trap would be sprung
over them. At one lake in Colorado as
many as $40 ducks were thus captured
at one time. at another, IS Canadian
geese, and the haul was always large:
The fowl trappers would then pun OH
the heads of the ducks ana geese, as
these birds thrust their necks through
the netting. The slaughter thus be-
came SO great, that law was passed
prohibiting it.
The greatest time for hunting the
small game in the West, was just at the
close of the civil war. The Missouri
Kansas border had been made desoiate
bv war. Many farm houses had been
hurnt. the fences were down, fruit rip
ened and rotted in the orchards, and
sometimes, the few fields planted were
not reaped. Many hogs had become
wild in the woods. Wild turkeys had
enticed the tame ones from the farms
and plantations to live again III their
wild state. Deer and antelope were oc-
casionally found in the thlckets. Ran-
it's. geese, ducks, brants, cranes, pell-
cans, prairie chickens. quail, turkeys,
and all kinds of bird life, thrived,
ai,aost as they did before
the settlements had been made.
Cranes were SO plentiful that they
were often killed in large numbers ana
fed to the hogs. The wild bears which
had been formerly domestic animals
we're often dangerous. With the fences
down they had escaped to the woods,
and again returned to the, wild state:
The Wild hog hunt was then a great
sport. | have yet a distinct and VIVID
recollection of climbing trees IN the Big
Creek bottoms, about fifty miles south,
east of Kansas City, to escape from Wl.o
hoars It NAV seem amusing now to
think of wild hog once ranging that now
th;cklv settled country, but it was no
laughing matter for boy to be chased
bv wild boar. The tusks then seemed
to me. as looked down from tree, as
LARGE as some of the gigantic teeth l

"MOLLIE MOTT" FREE AGAIN.


The Woman Who Loaded Dyer Scanlan's
Reyolvers Has Returned to Chicago.
"Good-by, Mollie Be sure and keep
out of trouble, and don't get sent back
here again. Be good girl. now, won't
you?"
ooh, never you mind. Pm all right,
and don't think shall bother you again;
Goodbye said trim, neat-looking little
woman-dressed in plain black-as she
waved her hand and threw kiss to-
ward the matron of the Joliet prison,
and, with merry laugh, lightly tripped
down the walk to the railroad station.
Mollie was burglars wife. She first
came prominently before the public
and commenced her criminal career
noted craftsman. One day Detective
Grove made her a burglars widow by
shooting her husband, who was with Il
gang OF burglars caught IN the act OF
robbing Mandel Bros store. "Molhe"
was then only Is years old. She next
married "Pete" O'Brien, an acknowl-
edged sandbagger, and while he held
up unsuspecting pedestrians Noble
| would search them.
The little woman in black was none
other than "Mollie Mott" alias Mary
Sheridan, alias half a dozen other
names that were frequently entered on
the criminal docket of the various po-
lice courts in the days when "Mollie
Mott" was counted 'the wickedest
woman in Chicago" Mollie, says a
third prison term-a seven years SEN
tence-tor shooting and attempting to
kill Police Officer Nolan at Chicago at
the time Nolan was attempting to arrest
the noted thief, Dyer Seaman, who is
now serving a ten-year term on the
same charge. There is nothing in
"Mollie Motifs" appearance that would
indicate her thirst for policemens
blood, or mark her as one of the worst
criminals of her class.
While serving her second term at
Joliet "Pete" O'Brien took up with an
other woman. Mollie swore vengeance
against him, and upon her release made
an attempt to kill him. 1t was not long
before she found congenial partner
one worthy of her courage-in the per-
son of Dyer Seaman, a burglar and
desperate of the "Chick" McMullen
style.
On the night of the crime she had
tuuarreled with Seaman, and it is sup
posed he struck her over the head.
| Policeman Nolan heard the noise and
entered their rooms at Twenty-second
and Dearborn streets. Seaman shot the
officer half dozen times, leaving him
for dead, with a broken arm, two bull
let's in his neck and one in his left side.
After the shooting Seaman and the
woman escaped to a room which they
barricaded and defied the police. Shot
after shot was fired at the officers
through the door, and as fast rs Seaman
could empty the weapons "Mollie" re-
loaded them. He had two pistols, and
for twenty -four hours defed the police.
Evidently seeing that he could not
escape them, Seaman finally surren-
dered himself and handed his revolvers
through a hole in the door made by
Sergt Thorpe with an AK. Mrs. Seaman
was still bleeding from the wound in
her bead inflicted the night before and
presented a woeful spectacle. They
were quickly lodged in Jail and SEN
fenced ashort time after. Officer Nolan
