Tennessee has a reformed giant. He
is the Rev. Charles Kesterson, a ma.

His height is seven feet eight inches,

manhood he was over eight feet tail.
He is now seyenty-fve and weighs
about 800 pounds. Years ago he was

Hedrehnps nnd Nrnles.

Writing to a sporting contemporary
a gentleman offers to receive any num-
ber Of hedgepigs "up to a thousand" y"
as he believes they would do good on
his estates in Devonshire. Some peo-
pie may be disposed to wonder what
service can be rendered to agriculture
by creatures that do occasionally make
late supper Of chickens and part
ridges. The truth is, the hedgehog has
never received full justice He is,
take him all in all, an admirable
beast. Everybody knows that the
hedgehog eats snails and slugs, but
few people, perhaps, have realized that
he is also liberal consumer of moles.
Now, there are many estates in Devon
shire where the mole employs a band
of men to keep his family down, and
there are places in Surrey, quite near
London, where neither man nor trap
can stop the ravages of these creatures
on what is intended to be the lawn.
Where the soil is sandy the mole lives
deep, and he will ding up a chain Of
verltable mountains in his journeys
under ones lawn in the course of a
single night. This conduct may be
borne with in parks and meadows, but
in gardens 1t becomes intolerable. 1t
may be suggested, therefore, to those
hOuseholders whose lawns are ravaged
by molcs whom neither trap nor pro-
fessional trappist can control that a
few hedgehogs in the garden might
bring the pestilential moles to some
sense of the fitness Of hings.-London

Machine to Lick Postage Stamps.

AS a result Of the persistent COM
plants Of persons licking postage
stamps the French Minister of Posts,
Telephones and Telegraph instructed
the engineers attached to his depart
ment to design a slot stamping ma.
chine. Two types are now being eX-
perimented with. In one, after the
coin Is inserted, the machine vets and
aifixes the stamp automatically If the
letter is properly placed. The other
weighs the letter shows the amount
Of postage required and Immediately
upon the insertion of the price the
stamp is printed directly from linked
plates. Both machines are speedy and
reliable. Every French postoffice will
be provided with several as soon as
they can be manufactured.

A Morgan ClerkshIp.

Among places eagerly sought after
are clerkships in the great banking
hous@of j. p. Morgan & Co. Fathers
with sons just starting out in life
watch for openings at the corner Of
Wall and Broad streets The waiting
list is nearly as long as that of the
Union Club in its palmiest days. The
head Of the house takes a personal in
terest in the welfare and Advancement
of his employees, and never engages a
beginner at a salary of less than $1,000
a year. Only capable, worthy young
men are admitted to his employment,
and he feels that boy who does not
deserve $1,000 a year deserves nothing
that is, he does not want him at any
price. While clerks in the average
banking business houses are starting
of with $40 week, and glad to get so
much, the lucky ones at Morgan's are
receiving S19.1S.
Morgan has made a great many sue
cesses out OF men under him. Faith
ful clerks soon buy homes in desirable
quarters of the city. Whether the firm
puts them in the market or not the
writer is in no position to say. Posi-
bly, when Morgan makes a million for
recognizing a railroad he declares an
official dividend, taking in all the
staff. Phil Armour had a similar way
with him. He, like Morgan, would
not pay a salary of less than $1,000 a
year TO a clerk in his ofice.-New York

Curious Fish From a Driven Wen.

Some time ago a driven well was
sunk at the Howell Creamery, Pine
Island, to the depth of $50 feet. The
supply of water obtained equalled only
one quarter Of the amount necessary,
and in order to obtain a greater sup
ply two charges Of joveite, q new eX.
plosive, were discharged by William J..
Brown, an expert in its use. Both
charges were set off simultaneously by
an electric battery, and q column Of
water eight inches in diameter was
thrown to a height Of 300 feet Many
curious things came up from the bot
tom Of the well, including three curl
GUS fish. They were about eight inches
long and had neither head nor tail
both ends being alike. They could
swim as easily backward as forward
and were not provided with eyes or
mouth. There were several small ori-
fees at each end of these curious fish.
When they came down with a shower
of stones from the top Of the column
of water they bounded repeatedly
many feet in the air. One was cap
tured by a Polander, who, curious to
see its interior, struck it with a dull
hatchet, but made no impression what
ever upon the fish, although he killed
1t. One is still alive in capitiyits.-

in the House Of Representatives is Mr..

Jack Murphy No. 1, as he has been
docketed at the county Jail since last
fall. and who was turned loose only
two days ago, became obstreperous
again this afternoon, just across from

forts OF Chief Johnson and Policeman
Eckwright were required to subdue
the man from Dublin. who took very
urkindly to the "come-along." At
the JAIL after being searched and as
he was being forced behind the bars,
Murphy made vicious attack upon
Chief Johnson. who escaped serious in
jury only by hair. Murphy turned
the Jail corridor into Bedlam for a
half hour. but threats of the cold wa
ter douche finally quieted him. He will
be given his hearing as soon as he
sobers up and will get what he de-
serves if Chief Johnson appears
against him.

Chief Stevens Viewing the Great

In the recent interview with Chief
Engineer Stevens, of the Great North
ern, at Spokane, Mr.. Stevens stated
his purpose of making rigid inspec-

for the main purpose of decreasing the
running time for passenger trains to
50 hours from St. Paul to the Sound.
1t is the intention of the company
to spend at least $5,00O,OOO this year
in improving the road bed. The main
line will be widened and reballasted
and new ties will be laid throughout.
Already on the line from Kalispell to
Havre, two work trains are distribut-
ing ties and the new wood is stacked
all along the route. In this reconstruc.
tion the regiment of Japs now arriv.
ing are to be employed and millions of
ties have been taken from the timber
for this purpose.

Great Northern Has Serious Trouble

operating trains through Cascade tun-
mel. The tunnel is 1850 feet in
length. and it's depth into the noun
tains is so great that it is intensely
hot within it at all times. There is a
strong current of air from west to east
at all times, and this causes smoke

the trains, with the result that it ever.

Fully a score of engineers have been

RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE.
Helena Record:

Helena Record:
Some of the papers of the state as
sert that the effect OF the new law
reducing the penalty for gambling to
a fine from 800 to $500 will be to
practically legalize gambling. and the
prediction is ..stss that it will not be
long before gambling will be practi.
cally wide open in the large cities.
How this could be accomplished it
is said, would be by an understanding
with the officers for the payment of
a regular weekly or monthly fine.
The real situation seems to be that
gambling will be matter of local op-
ton. If city or community desire
that gambling should be allowed in
that city or community it will be "vir.
tually licensed" under the present law,
or any other. If the citizens are de-
cided that gambling shall not be per
mitted in their city or village. it will
not be. If citizens are interested in
the enforcement of the law and in
putting stop to gambling they will
see to it that the officers perform their
duty, and if the latter fail to do their
duty and enforce the law. see that 9TH
ers are elected who will In a commun-
ity where gambling is not wanted it
can be easily prohibited. Every citi-
zen has the inalienable right to swear
out warrant for the arrest of per
sons violating the law, and if one ar
rest and punishment is not sufficient
to stop gambling in that community,
then arrests can be made as often as
the law is violated, be it twice day.
In cities or communities where
gambling is not objected to or desired
arrests and fines will not be frequent
nor burdensome. and would virtually
amount to a license. Therefore tho
question whether gambling be permit
ted or virtually licensed in any com.
munity depends altogether upon the
people of that community.
