Claws, Teeth, Horne ard Hoofs All Come
~ Handy q Times.
Many auiipale, including, both those
that kill and tliuse. that are killed. are
endowed with special means OF offensive
ana defensive combat. The latter are
often furnished with weapons Of effec-
tive value, such as the horns or cattle
and goats and the hoofs Of horses. says
the Philadelphia Times.
Even some OF the largest animals.
which are not carniyorous and may be
said to have no enemies. possess special
organs that they can use for infilcting
wounds. Such are the tusks or the
elephant. the horn of the rhinoceros
and the antlers OF the moose. Their
primary purpose, however, is to aid In
procuring food and In cIeaving way
through forest and jungle.
With beasts and birds of prey weap.
ons OF attack are indispensable.
Among the most highly developed are
the retractile claws of the cat family,
thecutting and tearing teeth OF the wolf
family and the talons of eagles and
hawks. Even in lower forms Of life we
find highly specialized weapons, chief
among which are the fangs of venom
Gus serpents and the stlngs of bees,
wasps and hornets, rendered far more
effective by the presence Of powerful
and sometimes deadly poison.
While noting the liberal endowment
OF creatures that prey upon animals,
we must not lose sight Of the fact that
certain vegctarians are also well equip
ped with weapons of combat. The
males Of the bovine and the goat tribes
In the wild state use these weapons
largely in their combats with rivals Of
their own species. while the females
employ them chiefly in defense Of their
young.
The bull fights with the head down,
often with the eyes closed; and the
horns, being usually short and nearly
straight, can be used only one at time,
aided by the toss Of the powerful neck.
The horns of the COW In all the com
moner breds are turned somewhat for
ward so as to be of the utmost service,
and the faithful mother fights for her
calf against dog or wild beast with her
head raised and eyes wide open.
A stag brought to bay sometimes
presents his antlers to the hunter. With
some species these branching horns are
shed ut certain seasons, and during
their renewed growth are for a time
soft and useless as weapons. They gain
strength and toughness at the season
when rivalry and battles between the
males are in order, and 1t is, therefore,
natural to infer that the antlers are
intended chiefly for this purpose.
Against many foes however. man In
Guided, the deer family find their best
weapons In their hoofs, with which
they strike and cut as with knives.

ers and at other times cutting coiled
rattlesnakes into pieces.

He IL Much More than the Husband
ofa Famous Woman.
The newspaper reading world knows
much about Mrs. Potter Palmer, Of
Chicago. She sprang before the public
eye as the president OF the Woman's
Board of Managers OF the Worlds Fair.
More recently, her successful manage
ment Of the love affairs of Count Can
tacuzene and Miss Julia Grant, her
niece. has kept alive the public interest
In this forceful and attractive woman.
Like Mary Ellen Lease, she eclipsed
her husband, Of whom little ever APP
pears In print. And yet Potter Palmer
Is great business man, one Of the real
makers of Chicago and power In the
financial world-one OF those silent
forces. which contribute so much to
the worlds progress.
Potter Palmer was u young man
when he located In Chicago fifty years
ago. He invested few thousand dol
lars In dry goods store and soon had
the cream of the city trade. His sur
plus cash went into real estate and the
soil was fertile. He was wealthy
man when, at the close of the war, he
took into partnership with him Mar
shall Field and Levi Letter. State
street, now Chicago's leading thor
oughfare, was then narrow, dirty
lane. Lake street was the commercial
center. Potter Palmer proposed to
make State street the commercial CEN
ter. Men ridiculed him, but he went
over to the despised street, bought a
mile Of frontage and commenced build
ing commercial palaces. His firm &C.
cupied the first and other firms quick
~ took others. When the fire Of 1871
came, Potter Palmer owned thirty two
buildings ON State street. All were de-
stroyed. He borrowed $3,OOO.OO0 and
rebuilt them, better and stronger than
before. Then he looked about for a
spot where he might build a home.
What Is now the magnificent boulevard
known as the North Shore drive was
then heap OF sand. Here he built and
sold adjoining property to the best
class Of people. The boulevard Is the
result. Then he built the Palmer
House. Chicago,s finest hostelry in his
day, which 1t is now said he will tear

Pelxer, a South Carolina town OF 1000
population, Is probably the queerest lit
tie city In the United States, 1t has
existed for twelve years and has never
had mayor. municipal government,
courts. police or newspapers. The town
has four large cotton mills that employ
about 5000 operatives and consume
$4,000 bales Of cotton each year. In
one Of these great mills there are &C, 1000
spindles at work In one room, all run
by electricity. In the working equip
ment all that is old Is discarded; all that
IL new and progressive eagerly well
coined, no matter what the expense.
Managed by one corporation on thor
oughly altruistic principles, hundreds Of
chlldren who work In these mills earn
from 2 to 60 cents a day, and certain
portion OF the machinery is shut down
at stated intervals each working day
TO allow them to attend school.
Obedience Is the constitution on
which the government of the town
rests. The word applies to only one
thihg-the will and wishes Of Capt.
JehA Smythe. His edict rules the city
As absolutely as the famous "by order
or the Guar" rules the Russians, and the
aAefNl persuasion he exercises over his
3Sepulation can be compared only to the
Difference shown to Dom Paul In the
troubled Transvaal.

These are few of the things he has
done for Chicago. He has never de-
sired political honors. never sought
them. He might have won honors In
this field, but they were not to his llk-
ing. He has preferred to he the simple
business gentleman, eager for the well

His later years are spent in the midst
Of artistic surroundings of his ex-
quisite home. There has always been
in his nature that vein Of sentiment
which never desired that Chicago
should be of the material only. Parks,
boulcyards, art treasures, music have
to him always seemed as much a legiti-
mate part Of the being of the city as
mercantile establishments and steam
roads. He has enriched Chicago in
this direction also.

train for Greenville, where the station
agent told him Pelzer was about twenty
miles distant.
Never been there myself" he re-
marked, but I've been told it's quite a
place. Queer folks. but they're all
right"
The lecturer settled back In his seat.
He believed he was in for dismal talk
to forty or fifty persons; a dingy hall
with smoky lamp and rlckety chairs;
badly paved streets and no cab at the
depot to take him to wretched hotel.
He made up his mind that he would
have something unpleasant to say to
that advance agent when he saw him
again. When he reached Pelzer he
thought he had made a mistake. There
was a roomy, well-lighted railroad sta
ton, and a gentleman who introduced
himself as the Democratic postmaster
Of the city was there to meet him.
How does 1t look for an audlence:"
inquired the lecturer, with an anxious
eye to business.
ooh. very good. think you will have
at least 600 persons out to hear YOU"
''Whwh-a-t? How large is your
town."
MN. About 1000. More, perhaps"
Night had come on and the lecturer
looked around on well-lighted and we'll
paved streets. He saw no corner loiter-
ers. In fact, most Of the shops were
shut. He had comfortable meal at the
hotel. The postmaster left him to him
self, as he had TO go home to take his
folks TO the lecture. An hour later the
lecture hall-4roomy, bright and cheerful
as The usual Y. NJ. G. A. halls he had
been speaking In elsewhere-was well
filled with attentive and appreciative
listeners. What the lecturer did say
to his advance agent when he caught
I'M with him was that It was one of the
most charming stopping places on his
route, and that he wanted to go there
sgsin.

ture to take the synopsis that the
speaker had prepared for them, and
there was no newspaper account OF II

isolation which has often given rise TO
the suspicion that they were endeavor-

be more erroneous than this supposi-
ton. The great difficulty OF mastering
the Portuguese tongue,1in sound and
construction so utterly different from
their own, and of assimilating with peo-
pie of the Latin race, with whom they
have so little In common. Is the cause
of their isolation, so often commented
upon. They have. great difficulty in
