Wireless Tefe6rdp6U.

A report comes through Consul Gen
eral Gunther of Frankfort to the effect
that the captain of channel mail
steamer, which is provided with a
wireless telegraphy apparatus. states
that on his last trip he received mes
sage from the officer of the French
lightship, anchored about twenty five
miles from Dunkirk, stating that he
would be unable to light up the next
night unless help arrived from the
shore. The captain at once sent a
wireless message to La Panne. on the
Belgian coast, from which point IL was
forwarded to Dunkirk by the regular

FOR A BEET COLONY.
salvation Army to Start q MiIlion-Acrs
One in Colorado.

The Salvation Army is about TO en-
bark IN q great commercial enterprise
which involves the colonization OF a
tract Of land in Colorado. Here will
be started a practically new industry
in that section-the raising Of sugar
beets. While in a sense the scheme is
commercial rather than religious, Of
fcers Of the army in New York think
they can DO much good through the
enterprise. A large corporation has
bought up and procured options on
over 100000 acres Of ground. The
Salvation Army will act as the agents
OF this corporation in procuring and
guaranteeing the integrity of the colo
nists. Commander Booth-Tucker, who
is now in Cleveland will return to
New York soon. When he arrives
the plans for starting the work will be
laid before him for his approval. d.
rectly that is obtained, Offices Will be
opened on Fourteenth street, opposite
the present headquarters of the Or
ganization. Staff Officer McPhee will
be put In charge. The reason that out
side Offices will be established Is that
the present charter of the army will
not admit Of such an enterprise being
carried on at its headquarters. The
tract covers the greater part Of three
counties-Kiowa, Bent and Prowers.
It is skirted by the Arkansas river and
interested by irrigating canals. which
are fed from reservoirs having a ca
pacity of $50, 2S3, 500 cubic feet. It Is
at Amity, Col, that fiourishing Sal
vationist colony is now established.
The new colonfsts will not be re-
CURED to raise the sugar beets unless
they SO elect. IF they do. the sugar re-
fining company will pay them the mar
ket value. 1t is understood that many
wealthy capitalists of Colorado are be-
hind the plan.-New York Mail and

A Lucky Acct dent.

Jerry Cooper considers himself one
Of the luckiest men in England, and
not without reason. He used to be a
gymnastic instructor in the navy.
Then he went into the merchant ma
rine, and five years ago while on a
trading vessel off Newfoundland the
donkey engine on board blew up. kill
ing four men and knocking Jerry
speechless and deaf. Yet a man even
in this condition must live, and TO
gain a means of livelihood when he
returned to England he gave exhibit
tons of conjuring and contortions. A
week or two ago he had bad fall.
which made him unconscious, and
upon regaining himself he found that
speech and hearing had come back to
him. And in all Britain there's no
one happier than Jerry Cooper.

"A RATHER, q king snake, and q road

Of Herbert Housland, a prospector in

enemy Of the rattler. The experience
OF Housland was had IN the Bradshaw
mountains. He was guarding his
pArty's camp for the day and had lain
down to sleep when he was suddenly
aroused to find a great rattler coiled
upon his breast
I almost suffocated from fearing to
breathe lest T should be bitten" he
said. The snake was greatly excited
and in minute I saw the cause. \
king snake was trying to excite the
RATHER to combat, and my person was
the chosen battle ground. The king
snake had probably forced the RATHER
to refuge upon my body. and follow
Ing up his aggressive tactics was run
ming In circle around the rattler very
rapidly. He crossed my breast from
left to right and my thighs from right
TO left and within less than a foot OF
the rattler's body The velocity OF
the snake was most wonderful. II
seemed to be one continuous ring. and
part OF the time l could seemingly see
three or four rings at once. I made
slight movement with my right foot
which attracted the rattler's attention
for an instant. and that was fatal to
him. AT that one false movement OF
his eyes. the king snake darted In
and seized the rattler by the throat,
close up to his head and began in
stantly to coil around his victim.
They rolled off me IN their death
struggle and became one tangled mas,
for ten minutes. when the rattler's
sounds died away gradually. While
lay exhausted from my fright a road
runner darted out OF a bush and
grabbing the two snakes In his beak,
began to drag them away. The weight
was too great but he killed the king
snake by blow from his long bill.
and ran away as I arose. I threw the
two reptiles into the bushes, and there
the bird and his mate devoured them"

Dangers OF Libsrtinis m.

So there has been a great deal of
fascination thrown around libertinism.
Society Is very severe upon the impur-
Ity that turks around tie alleys and
low haunts Of the town. The law pur-
sues 1t, smites 1t, incarcerates it, tries
to destroy it. You know as well as
that society becomes lenient In proper
ton as impurity becomes affiuent or Is
In elevated circles. and finally society
Is silent or disposed to pallate. Where
is the judge. the jury. the police officer
that dare arragn the wealthy liber-
tine? He walks the streets, he rides
