greatest loss of life to his arava and
came nearest to defeating his expedi-
ton, We're tho Wambutti dwarfs.
These diminutive mon had only bows
and arrows for weapons, so small that
they looked like Children's playthings,
but upon the tip Of each tiny arrow was
a drop of poison which would kill an
elephant or II man as surely and quickly
as q rifle. Their defense was by means
of poison and traps.
They would steal through the dense
forest, and waiting i'll ambush let fly
their arrows icfore they could he dis

covered them over with sticks and
leaves. They fixed spikes in the ground
and tipped them with poison. Into these
bitches and on these spikes mai and
beast would fall or step to their death.
One of the strangcst things about 1t was
that their poison was mixed with honey.

Geography is not only one Of the
most important as well. 1t is not OF
value to the student alone, but t every
man and oman who wishes to keep
in touch with the happenings Of the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts Of the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much Of it little better
than Greek to the person who is un-
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events Of the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them to be daily students
of this important branch of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course Of our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location Of Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands.
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own fleet
collected, preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the bombardment OF
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past year we have had in
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia.
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these %troublous times. a
knowledge OF the geographical forma-
ton Of the countries Of the globe, their
colonies, and the location of the chief
towns and rivers is indispensable %
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness of
accurate and clear maps in studying
the various phases Of the war, The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., Of Chicago. for the new
Standard War Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages OF the latest and
best war maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x2S inches)
OF the World, North America, Europe
and Oceania, and seven full-page maps
NlfAel lhSuCSJ VI SuDd, IuC NCoI -
dies, South America, China, Spain and
Portugal, Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. Enlarged
sections show ports Matanzas, Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cienfue-
COS; also Cardenas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
tractive paper cover.
This atlas should not be COMPOUNDED
with the numerous cheap aliases sold
at the stores. It is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or Its regular agents.
Every reader is recommended to
procure one at once, and thus be able
to watch the strategic movements Of
our army and navy from the vantage
point Of knowledge.
The Atlas will be given free with each
prepaid six months subscription to the

SOHOETTNER THE HYPNOTIST
Former Laramie Photographer in 6
New Role in Denver.

The following item taken from a
Denver paper will be of interest to some
Laramie people who will recall
financially-Mr. E. C. Schoettner, who
played a brief engagement here some
two years ago as a photographer:
When Harry Cooper, a %youngster
with dirty hands and a soiled face had
been thawed out at the city Jail at an
early hour Tuesday morning he in
formed several persons that he had
run away from his home to join a gang
who gathered several times a week at a
hall zeal Califoria and B streets, to be
hypnotized. '
The man who has been hypnotizing
the youngsters was located yesterday
and spoke freely of his work. His
name is Z. c. Schoettner and he lives
in room 16, Anderson block. corner of
California and b streets.
Schoettner is a retoucher by profess
sion and has been employed in different
photograph galleries in this city for the
past two years. He is a young man,
blue-eyed, tall and straight. He wears
a dark beard, Van Dyke style. His
smile is CHEEKY and there is not that
look in his beaming countenance which
would lead one to believe that he is a
dangerous Svengali.'
Il am more successful with the small
boys than with the large ones said
~Schoettner yesterday afternoon. THE
minds of the bigger fellows are apt to
wander, whereas the little boys can
direct their attention and thoughts tC

Yes, sir; it does not take me long to

more than entire Observation-Disclosures

and arms and hat pins through their

4 certain young lady against whon
appearances certainly Looked dark once
mad an amusing experience of unjust
Judgment. She Went uIt Oh Il stormy
day and was unfortunate enough to
have her umbrella turned inside out.
Her two sisters were equally unlucky,
and on the following day the young
lady volunteered to take the three UNI
Sellas to be repaired.
Promising to cali for them before she
returned home in the afternoon, slIo
was to do some shopping in a large city
establishment. On rising tn leave the
shop she mechanically put out her hand
to take possession of an umbrella that
was close by. 1t looked like her wi

the accident. She was o o brought to
her senses.
"That is my umbrella, said a sharp
voice at her side, and "a hand was laid
Oh her arm to detaln her.
Apologizing for her thoughtlessness,
she left the shop, did the rest of her
business and called for her umbrellas.
In the g.rect car she met an indignant
pair Of eyes. Where had she seen them
before? They scanned first her face and
then the burden she carried. "Three of
them - muttered the owner of the eyes,
and it was evident that she referred to
the umhl1li"s. Three! She's din no
bad the day"
AS she spose she grasped her WI
umbrella tightly and moved farther
away from the dangerous young lady.
The color came into the checks of the
latter. The speaker was her friend of
the morning. and she evidently believed
that the umbrellas had been stolen.-
