NEW USE FOR THE THERMOMETER

This thermometer always hung out
side the porch door in summer and in
the family sitting room in winter. The
rise and fall of the mercury had never
been explained to the small boy of the
family, who regarded the instrument
with great respect as a generator OF
heat next in Importance to the SUI.
One cold day in March he rushed In
from the barn and demanded:
Ma. gimme the thermometer quick"
What on earth do you want with
the thermometer"

pen; the new lambs are shiverin'

based upon the line followed by thu
late Maurice Thompson, sportsman and
author Thompson disdained to use
the shotgun on small game, preferring
to match skill against cunning. He
made II practice hot to kill game un-
til he was close enough to watch and
study 1t. So he took a long bow and
went into the woods after quail and
grouse He hunted rabbits In the same
manner. and was very successful.
When he went after quail he stole
upon the flock in its haunts and picked
off the birds with arrows that made no
noise and did not frighten those that
remained. In this way he grew TO
know the haunts and habits Of his
quarry as the shotgun hunter never
does. Rabbits he stalked in a similar
manner. The point to be won was to
see the rabbit in the little form"
where 1t spends the day, in surround
ings that render 1t well-nigh invisible
and shoot 1t before II could run away.
For squirrels he took an ancient flint
lock rife. Most hunters are not han
dicapping themselves to this extent,
but take instead of bow or fiintlock
small rifle with which the head may
be shipped OFF quail or grouse and a
tiny puncture made in rabbits skull

Sunday Mass Meeting In Topeka
Orders Unlawful Saloons To
Close.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 10.-Three
thousand male citizens of Topeka,
in mass-meetlng here today, decided
that the numerous joints of the city
must close their places. They
issued an ultimatum giving the
jointists till Friday next at II
O'Clock TO quit business, If this is
not done warning was given that
a thousand armed men would i'm
mediately move on the joints and
remove them by force. Today
action is the result OF the crusade
started in Topeka less than ten
days ago by Mrs. Carrie Nation.
The meeting this afternoon was a
remarkable one in every respect.
1t was called by a committee of the
Law Enforcement League, and was
attended by nearly all the promi-
neut business men of the city.
There was feeling of intense
earnestness perYading the meeting.
Conservative men, who have hither-
to advocated moderation in the deal
ings with the lawless element, in
sisted in lnmistakable terms that
the time had come when patience
had ceased to be virtue, and that
the people of Topeka should take
the law 10 their own hands.
