The brutal murder of Baker and

of indignation in our State
and justly so-which has swep,

However, put the @est construc-

The Making Of Clever Poacher.
AS often as not the poacher's
whole stock in-trade consists of a
piece of wire. What a really ex-
perienced poacher can do with a
piece of wire, both as a snare for
rabbits and an unlicensed method OF
lifting fish, is almost inconceivable.
On a property where the rabbit
shooting was strictly preserved,
upon the southern coast of England
a boy was once caught with two
dead rabbits in his possession, and
nothing else that would account for
their decease. A search OF pockets
revealed nothing but two live crabs
OF small dimensions, the end of a
candle, and box OF matches. I'm
der promise OF release, the urchin
was persuaded to disclose his
method OF procedure. First he
selected likely burrow, and then
he stripped off his clothes, putting
his coat over one hole, his trousers
over another, and his shirt over a
third. He lit the candle end, drop
ped little of the grease upon the
crabs back, and stuck the lighted
candle thereon, and then put the
crab at an unoccupied opening,
Straightway the frightened torch
bearer fled sideways into the dark
ness and explored the innermost
depths, while the boy, expectant IS

Too Much for Watson.

Only once did Watson, when
captain, never fail to punish a man
for intoxication. This Was in the
summer of 1898 at Boston, when the
San Francisco took the Massachu-
sets naval militia on its first prac-
tice cruise. Among the regular crew
was old Alexander Parker, sail
makers mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was
liquor to be had. When the naval
militiamen came on board witty
boatswain's mate, while no officer
was near, sang out in an authorita-
tive tone:
"All you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping"
Many amateur sailors took the
bait, and in few minutes old Aleck,
sitting down below decks in his sail
room, was surprised to have a vast
collection of TASKS passed to him.
He received all these as gifts with
many thanks. He was found a day
after sound asleep in his sailroom,
literally covered with empty bottles
of every size and shape. He was
finally taken before the captain, to
whom was told the circumstances.
"Parker," said he sternly, 81 have no
words with which to discuss your
case. GO forward. "-New York Times

REDUCING THE ARMY.

Preparations For Mastering Out One
 Hundred Thousand Men.
 Washington, Aug. E.-The mastering out of the volunteer army raised in de- fense Of the Union against the armies of Spain has practically begun at the war department and will be continued until the army has been placed on a basis consistent with our present rela- tons to the nations of the earth. Or ders were prepared yesterday for the mastering out Of about s5.00o volun- teers, including nearly 25 regiments of infantry and about eight troops of cav airy and five or six batteries of artil- lery.
 The details of the order bearing on this subject have not yet been fully perfected, and the officials conflne them selves to general statements in regard thereto. It was admitted that the First regiment Of Vermont volunteers. at tached to the Third army corps en- camped at Chickamauga. Ga. had been expected to proceed to Fort Ethan AL len, Vt. That poet Is the nearest one to the homes of the members of the regi- ment and was selected with view to their mastering out soon after their ar- rival there. Adjutant General Corbin said that similar couree would be followed in the case of the other vofun- teer regiments selected for mastering out. They would, he said. be ordered to their state capitals as soon as 1t could be done without danger to the interests of the government and mus tered out of the military service as rapidly as possible.
