Wild Turkey Plentiful.

Monteagle, Feb. 1O.-On the
mountain, twenty two miles from
the terminouS of the Tracy City
Branch railroad, there is a hut. It
was built by q sportsman's club to
shelter parties going out in the
shooting season. A few days ego
a party started for Sewanee for a
week or ten days in the forest. The
usual preparations were made for
the camfort Of men and horses.
Shortly after the party started
with their heavlly-Ioaded wagon,
snow began to fail, and the mercu-
ry began its descent. Enthusiasm
and hope are fine mental tonics, 80
over the bad roads, through stream
and doubtful roadways, the party
finally reached their destination
One stream proved deep and the
tired horses intractable The gen.
tleman found it necessary to cross
it on one Of the horses. The horse
was unhitchcd from the loaded wa,
gon and made a Jerry Good fires
aud good supper, 4 nights rest and
the hunters were ready, By the
morning it was biting cold, and
some of the party would not start
out. The others however had good
sport. After two days it was a Its
tie more moderate, and al set out
early. AT roll call at night two
members of the party were missing
Guns were fired at intervales, and
about 10 O'clock one of the strag,
glers found his way to the camp.
The other did not come. The
guns were fired The horn, too,
did its work, but the day dawned
and the man was still missing, AS
soon as possible all were ready to
go out and. search. Three miles
from the camp the lost man had
made fire, which kept him from
freezing to death. Anxiety, howA
ever, had caused him to leave the
fire and try to reach the cabin. In
the dim light he stepped into
a running stream and Immediately
his clothing was frozen stiff on his
lower limbs. He was led by the
sound of the guns of the searching
party and got into camp not an
hour too soon.
Except for these slight inconven-
ces, the expedition was a great suc~
cess. Wild turkeys were plentiful,
rabbits in condition, and three fine
deer were slain,-American.

ponents have not given Up hope
of veto,
A record was made by Congress
this week in passing bills over the
Presidents veto The House pass
ed two, both pension. bills, in favor
Of widows of soldiers who had
married again and lost their second
husbands by death, and the Senate
passed the bill, which is now a law,
relating to the holding Of court in
the Eastern Texas district
Senatorial dignity has had an
other throw down, and it was a
hard ONE, Alter voting down by
an overwhelming majority the
motion to discuss the arbitration
treaty. IN open session, and taking
extra precautions 10 keep the pro-
coedlngs secret, those Senators who
consider themselves the especial
custodians Of the dignity of that
body were disgusted to read each
day just as full reports in the news,
papers Of the secret sessions as were
printed OF the open session. They
Iretted and scolded the employees,
only to be bIunt,y tolo by Senator
Hill, who made the motion to con$
slider the treaty in open session,
and other Senators that as all the
world knew they ought to know
themselves that it was the members
of the Senate, AMI not the en-.
ployes, who gave out the proceed
ings of the executive sessions.
Although several extended execu.
tive sessions have been given to a
discussion Of the treaty, no pre-.
ceptlbIe progress has been made
towards its disposal. Numerous
amendments, in addition to those
made in committee, have been of>
fered and some of the Senators
have hatly stated their opposition
to the treaty amended or unulnend-
ed.

there was little surprise when Reps

hours in advance Of the meeting
in joint convention of the House
and Senate to count the electoral
vote that he lad changed his mind
about ohjecting to the counting Of
the OF his State, on the ground
that 1t had no constitutional res
publican form Of government, Mr.
Murray, who is a coIored man,
did Mt change his mind. He was
simply squelched by the republI-
can leaders, Who realized, if Mur,

ing with such a proce4ding as the
electoral vote, They know that
Senator Tillman was not making
an idle threat when he said that if
the vote of South Carolina was not
counted Mckinley would. NOT be
anaugurated on March 4. but Sec
retary Olney would under the law
of succession become President.
All that he would have needed to
make the threat reality would have
been a majority of the Senate.

nothing occurred during the forty
or fifty minutes need to count and

gone to to get tickets admitting
them. 1t was, like the proceedings
in the Supreme Court, highly i'm

A Word
About BOrax Soap.

BOraX costs more than
soap. There is no induce
ment, therefore, for soap
makers to use it for profit.
BoraX softcns the wash
water, and leaves the hands
soft and smooth.
Consequently it is a good
thing in soap.
The so-called borax soaps
rarely contain borax in sufi-
Gent quantities to be de-.
tectcd or beneficial.
