Krag-Jorgensen Bullets Puzzle Indians

Krag-Jorgensen Bullets Puzzle Indians
The Krag-Jorgensen rifles with
which Uncle Sans regulars are armed
are weapons of great interest to the
old hunters and sportsmen who have
gathered at Walker from all sections.
The soldiers pass cartridges among
the curious who retain them as souv.
enirs. Said one of the blue-coated
men who had returned from Sugar
Point, having taken part in the scrap:
"The Indians ran against something
in our bullets that surprised them.
The steel bullet of the Krag-Jorgen-
sen is searching thing, and if there
Is an Indian concealed in the grass IN
line with it for three miles it will find
hlm. When we caught a couple of
bucks who, we could see, were behind
pine trees from the smoke of their
rifles, the others soon learned to fall
back. The steel bullet will go through
forty inches OF pine and kill any In
dian who may have thought he was
safe. They can't fight the way they
used to. ."-Minneapolis Tribune.

The Great Tin Industry.

Tin is worked in North Carolina,
Virginia and Alabama; very extensive
prospecting has been done in South
Dakota and in California, and tin
mines are said to exist in Texas and
several Western States, but the total
American output is so small as to cut
no figure in the market. The worlds
supply of tin was, in 1896, over So
900 tons, of which England produced
5000; the Straits Settlement $4,000,
all of which was shipped to England,
America or China; Banca, 5000;
Billitong, 1000; Bolivia, 5000, while
small quantities were produced in
Mexico, Japan, Burmah, Russia,
Portugal, Spain, Germany and Austria.
The imports of tin into this country
in bars, blocks, pigs or grains during
the year 1897 were so, AGO, 1913 pounds.

American Shoes in Germany.

Twenty years ago American shoes
were unknown in Germany. Within
the past eighteen months the amount
OF imports has increased rapidly. The
many improvements in American ma.
chinery and the careful attention paid
by American manufacturers to style
and finish have placed American shoes
in the front rank. The demand for
American shoes in Germany has not
been created through the efforts of
manufacturers, but through consuls
and resident Americans. Many Ger.
mans are now ordering shoes from
American retail houses and have them
sent over by freight. can American, 4"
says the consul at Leipzig, "can always
be distinguished in European crowd
by his shoes"

A QUEER LITTLE HEN.

There was once little hen,
A dear little, queer little hen;
Her work was to lay
Just one egg every day,
And she did, this good little hen.
She'd fly up in q tree, and right then,
Seated high on branch, this queer hen,
Her egg she would lay
Her one egg every day,
This good little, queer little heh.
Twas strange thing to do, must say,
Lay an egg from tree every day,
And what good was the egg
just tell that, I beg
That fell from the tree in that wayp
But some people do things just as queer;
I know it; I've seen it, my dear.
They have q good thought,
But 1t just comes to naught;
From the wrong place they drop 1t, my
dear.
There's lesson for you and for me
From the hen that laid eggs in tree.
If we do a right thing,
If q good thought we bring,
Let's not choose q wrong place, you and
me.

One of Chicaeo's clever Women.

One of the most widely known, most
generally consulted and busiest wom-
en- in Chicago is Dr. Sarah Hackett
Stevenson. In 1876, at Philadelphia,
DR.. Stevenson was admitted to the
American Medical Association, the
first woman ever so honored. Since
then she has steadily followed her
profession with the exception of two
years, which she gave up to work in
the Chicago Woman's Club, of which
she was President during the Worlds
Fair.
DR.. Stevenson is widow, and took
up her work after her husbands
death. She had splendid opportunity
for study. During visit to Europe
she met Professor Huxley, and studied
with him for two years. She now
holds the chair of obstetrics in the
Woman's Medical College of the
Northwestern University, and is
President and founder of the Chicago
Maternity Hospital, organized little
over year ago. This hospital is one
of the doctors hobbies. 1t has two
unique features: On is that patients
are not permitted to leave until the
doctor feels assured they are perfectly
we'll and strong; the other feature is
the training Of nursery maids. Young
women, preferably between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-five, are thor
oughly taught to care for babies. The
course is for six months, during which
time instruction is given in the proper
dressing and feeding of infants and
small children, and the hygiene neces-
sary to properly nurse the babies.
Thus has been opened a new profes.
sion for young women, and DR..
Stevenson says that there are fifty ap.
plications for these trained children
nurses to one that can be filed.
DR.. Stevenson is tall, stately WON.
an, with almost white hair. She is
gentle and courteous to strangers,
though never effusive. She was in.
strumental in founding the Illinois
Training School, the first of its kind
in the West, and, altogether, is wom-
an that women delight to honor and
one whom men would be proud to
know.-New York Mail and EXPRESS.

Afhdavits of Both Parties Making Contradictory Statements About

The Pokegama and Klamath Lumber
 companies had a day in court in the
 United States Circuit Court yesterday in the matter of the order to show cause
 why the temporary restraining order should not be continued in force during the pendency of the trial of the issues involved.
 The Pokegama people were represented by F. D. Madison and J. F. Farrar and the Klamaths were represented by Judge s. c. Denson and Frederick Stratton. The attorneys for the Klamath people put in some affidavits to show that the Poke gama Company had not complied with the terms of the lease requiring them to operate the whole plant for the best in terests of the parties concerned. and that they had not got out enough logs to keen the mill running at its full capacity. Tn answer to these affidavits the Pokeearoa attorneys produced affidavits one of them from the logger, stating that d,lr ing the first year of the lease he delfv- cred to the lesseeS, the Pokegama Com pany, one million feet more logs than he had delivered to the Klamath Company the year before, and this year that he had delivered 800 per cent more The af- hdayits set forth further that the KIam ath Company had been unable to work the straitened coraiition of its finances it having incurred a debt of about s36- coo in operating the plant, while the Po- kegama Company had expended about $75 900 in improvements and in making ready
