Ncrmont.s Man Hunt.

Burlington. VT. May There is "a
general impression among officers who
are engaged in hunting the fugitive
Shaws that they are somewhere near the
east shore of Lake Dunmore, in Rutland
county, and if the surmise is correct their
capture is only question of n few days
or hours. since the territory is covered
by several hundred armed men. The
hunters do not propose to take any
chances, particularly with the younger
Shaw, who killed Deputy Sheriff Hoff-
man, and will shoot first.

1t does not pay in this progressive
age for a man to lose crops such as
vegetables, etc, which cover limited
area, because of dry weather. Irriga-
CATION on a small scale can be done by
the use of a large tank not elevated
very high, and rubber hose and the
help of a windmill or hot air pumping
engine. If crop can be saved which
would have been lost entirely, it will
in one season repay the whole outlay.
and at all times it will cause increased

he was threatened with expulsion from

have been equivalent to social ostra-
cism. To be compelled to descend from
the lofty heights Of dignity to which
he had clambered after the incident to

They Were Equally Concerned In
the jail Delivery.
In the picturesque little town Of Law
renceburg, Ind, there used to be an old
stone building that was used as a jail.
1t could tell many a strange story Of
the persons it deprived of liberty, but
would, if it were wise, be silent con-
cerning one incident that proved to bo
a joke on itself
Among the boys Of the town was a
half witted lad who was particularly
incorrigible, and whose constant COM
panion was a little monkey, who at
tended him as faithfully as Mary S little
lamb. One Of his mental weaknesses
was known to be a confusion of the
ideas cf mine and thine, and after one
very considerable theft the local Sher-
lock Holmes found footpEnts Of Jocl1o
the monk in regions from which the
missing articles had disappeared, and so
the boy was arrested There was no law
for imprisoning the monkey, so he was
not "pinched. The boy was a model
prisoner for several days, but was sud
denly seized with a desire to have his
monkey with him. So earnestly did he
beg for this that the good natured jailer
had Joclzo brought to the cell. That
night the lad, who was supposed to be
without intelligence. began clawing out
the mortar around one Of the largest
stones in the outer wall He could not
do much with his blunt fingers and
weak nails but the monkey immediate
ly began initiating Aim. The long claws
Of the animal soon loosened up enough
mortar to enable the boy to pull the
stone out Of the wall and before morn
ing both boy and monkey had disap-
peared Cincinnati Enquirer.

"strong emotion, says Darwin, Gin
terrupts the steady flow of nerve force
to the muscles. This prevents the
proper working of those muscles which
are used in speaking; hence the STUN
bling and incoherence Of the speech.
"The voice sticks in the throat, to use
the words Of Virgil. In some cases
speech is for a short time impossible, as
is seen where a person is said to be
"speechless with rage" The hoarseness
of the voice is due partly to the fact
that passion causes an overaction Of
all the organs, partly by the fact that
for generations harsh and fierce sounds
have been made use of to terrify oppo-
nents in quarrels, and SO have come to
be associated instinctively with anger
Possibly the fact also has its influence
that the utterance Of sounds such as
those referred to is in some way or the

PERIL MADE.THEME N0s9
The Wild beasts HerdedsToEetherf
Icscnpe a ForentlFire.

An incident of forest fires. in,theshills
Of tho Descanso neighborhood,. in, south
ern California, illustrates the comrade-
ship that common peril brings about
among beasts as well as among men.
After the flames had completed their
work Of destruction and spread pail
over the hills a rancher went forth
among the charred stumps and smoking
brushheaps to look for a number Of cat
tie and colts which he feared had been
hemmed in by the fire. He went across
gully and ridge in his search, 'until at
last he saw his stock some little DIS
tance ahead
He was more than .astonished upon
roming up to the group to find not only
his cattle and colts, but a deer, three
wildcats, coyote and several rabbits,
all alive and apparently in no fear Of
him. They watched his approach with
indifference, the timidity gone from the
big eyed deer, no venom in the wild
cats purr and honesty shining in the
gray coyotes face. The rabbits sat ON
their launches as meek as the pets Of
children. But the poor coyote was in
pain, and as the farmer came close the
erstwhile robber Of the roost dragged
his helpless hind quarters toward the
man in mute supplication. The legs of
the animal had been frightfully burned.
The rancher was in no mood to make
friends Of such strange creatures, and
at once drove his stock through the
smoldering brush, the deer going
along with the cattle, the rabbits hop
ping along at the rancher's heels, the
wildcats slouching along behind, and
the coyote, unable to follow, whining
pathetic appeal for succor When the
burning field was passed. the deer broke
into a run for the distant hills, the rab-
bits were away like fash, and the old
defiance and snarling leer came back
to the wildcats, who scorned to make a
show Of haste. They walked slowly out
of sight San Diego Union.
