ter His Arm Near the Shoulder
"A Dangerous Wound

w. H. II. Woodward. prominent
farmer residing one-half mile south of,
Marietta. was dangerously Injured in an
accident that occurred at his home on
Sunday morning, as the result of the
discharge of both barrels of a shotgun.
One of Mr. Woodward COWS had been
sick. and he arose al 8 o'clock Sunday
morning TO care for the animal When
he went towards the barn he observed a
skunk near his chicken house, and inn
msdiateiy returned for his shot gun. He
also secured his lantern. and 1t was
while trying to light it that the accident
occurred MIR Woodward placed the
butt of the gun on a chair and allowed
the barrels 10 lean against his left
shoulder. As hestruck match the butt
of the gun slipped and in its descent
both hammers struck the chair with
force enough 10 explode the shell in each
of the two barrels. The charge entered
1.-the lef, arm just below the shoulder
shattering the bune ana almost cons
lpletely tearing the arm from the body.
Medical help VAS summoned as soon
as possible from near by and from this
city. and al o'clock Sunday morning
the surgeons performed the operation o.
Decentralization at the shoulder. The in
iured man is very weak from the excess
size hemoirhage and the operation is
always q severe one, and the outcome
will be- matter Of doubt for some days.

age. and a uro,nikent resident Of the

CALLED THE PRISON BIRD.
How II Got Its Name From n Very
trrtJ,int II lift

f-CCNilNr IA sUll.
The prison bird is fotind In Africa,
ana gets its name from the fact that.
from the tinis line nest is made until
the little birds are OLD sn5ttgn TO fly
the mother bird is really prisoiisF;
AT nesting time the parent birds,
with their beals, make hole in the
bark OF hollow tree, and then enter
the tree and build their nest. When
the nest is ready for occupancy the
mother bird settles herself in II, and
her mate at once makes her u prison.
er by "walling up the entrance to
the nest, leaving an opening Just large
enough for air and food to pass
through.
The great African explorer, David
Livingstone, watched the actions of,
these birds and in writing of them re-
ferred to the nest M a "prison," and
the female bird as 81 Slave" She GER
tainly is ut the mercy of her mate for
time, but he treats her with unvnty-
ing Kindness and attention. AS soon
as she is imprisoned he stations him
self near. He brings her food at reg
ular intervals, and does not allow her
to want for anything. Thus she gets
on MI right, and really seems to thrive
Ill her secluded life. Should however,
amy accident hefnll the male bird so
that he would be kept from looking
after the needs of the mother bird,
she and her little ones would die for
want of food. When nesting time is
over the male bird destroys the bar
rier with his beak and sets his family
free. Says Mr.. Livingstone: ut is in
teresting to witness the joy with
which the little prisoners greet the
light and the unknown world"

Chicago News: The ascension to the
throne of Italy of the new king
brings into prominence his consort.
who will be known as Queen Helene.
In one sense she is mated to the king
and in another she is not. Like most
of his countrymen he is small Of stat
ure, while she, like her people, the
Montenegrians, is very large. The in
congruity appears when they stand
together, which is not often. Most
of their pictures are taken with her
sitting and him standing. When they
ride together he sits upon cushions,
which make him look equal to her in
height. She is the daughter of Prince
Nicholas, of Montenegro, the little
mountain principality on the other
side of the Adriatic sea. She can shoot
and ride as well as any of her athletic
countrymen.

EPiGRAMs OF INGALLS,.

Some of the "WinKed Words" .
the Kansas senator.
The publication of politics is an r.
1descent dream.
Nothing is SO fatal to eminence as
the TESTERS cap and bells.
The government is always the worst
served OF all employers.
The desire for money is the most
constant and universal passion among
men.
The golden rule and the Decalogue
have no place in an American political
campaign.
Government is force. Politics is a
battle for supremacy. Parties are the
army. The object is success.
a trust is q thing that knows no
politics but plumber and no principles
except spoliation of the human race.
1t is an error to suppose that to be-
come politician the citizen must
cease to be scholar or gentleman.
The prescription for greatness has
not been written. The laboratory in
which genius is compounded has not
been disclosed.
In every community there are more
Intelligent, industrious, upright and
patriotic men than rogues and scoun-
drels. If there were not, society
would disintegrate.
The man who cannot take care Of
his own affairs has no right to take
care of the affairs of others. The pau
per ought not to decide the rate of
, taxation upon incomes and property.
Manhood suffrage Is the thing.
There are plenty of men who are H.
literate, yet good citizens, and lots
OF fellows who have money and can
speak seven or eight languages who
are scoundrels.
What Jesus would do were He In
Kansas today can best be determined
by considering what He did when He
was III Nazareth and Capernaum 1000
years ago. He attended strictly to his
own business.
The man who is unhappy when he is
poor would be unhappy If he were
rich. A beggar may be happier In his
rags than king in his purple. Hap
piness is an endowment and not an
acquisition.
1t would be far easier for camel
to go through the eye of needle than
for the richest man in the country to
become president today. He may oc-
casionally buy legislature or pur-
chase convention, but he never es-
capes detection, although he may
avoid punishment.
No one is compelled to dedicate
himselfsfto the public service. It Is
voluntary, and if the conditions are
unsatisfactory there is no obstacle to
retirement. While it would be agree
able to receive more, my impression Is
that If salaries We're doubled expenses
would be doubled.

Peoples Advocate: Before Theo-
dorc Roosevelt was thought of as a

the Life of Thomas ii. Benton" and
in that book he expressed his view of
the propriety of forcing other people

wrote then: "Of course no one would
wish to see those or any other settled

Trouble for the Vicious.


Cleveland Leader: An exchange of
angry words between an attorney and
his client, gambler, i'll the corridor
Of the central police station yesterday
is we'll worth recording.
why in the name of common sense
did you let my case go over to that
man Riley?" asked the gambler.
Really, old man, couldn't help
