DEER SHOOTING WITH A JACK.
Modern Science Applied to an lille
gal Form Of Hunting.

Modern science ApRIleo 10 au AiAe.
gal Form Of Hunting.
It Is against the law in any north
western state to slay deer after dark
by shining their eyes, but this Is the
time Of year when the jacker laughs at
the law. Game wardens and their dep
uties are not Of much hsft 20 miles out
from the railroad where trails a foot
wide run between the hemlocks and
pines and q man camping is as much
alone as if upon a little islet Of the
Solomon group.
The jacker selects moonless night
and leaves camp about 10 o'clock. He
wears a jack on his hat. Sometimes 1t
Is filled with oil, sometimes with acety-
lene gas; the inventions Of the moderns
have reached far into the North
Woods and it Is not unusual to find
rude unwashed child Of the forest with
an electric jack.
He paddles so quietly that the blade
enters and leaves the water without
sound and the only noise Is that OF the
small ripple at the boats Prov, inau-
dible 20 yards away. He sits IN the
stern with his gun across his knees and
he keeps near enough to the bank to get
the benefit Of the trees which cast
dense black shadow in the starlight.
So travelling, viewed from the front ne
looks like a giant firely or glow worm
sliding above the lake with a slow,
steady motion.
He keeps his eyes open and peers In
tently along the edge Of the water. He
is looking not for deer, but for tiny
point of light not larger than a silver
quarter of a dollar.
When he sees it he will paddle d.
rectly for it, for he knows that the
point Of light is made up by the two
eyes of a deer run into one by the dis
tance and rejecting the glare OF his
jack. AS he approaches the disk OF
light will became larger. When 1t has
grown to the size Of dollar 1t Will
widen horizontally and then separate
into two points.
These points are the deer's eyes and
the man will then be 125 yards away.
AS he draws nearer the points get to be
farther apart. When they are separ-
ated by apparently three inches ne lays
the paddle down, permits the boat TO
glide onward, takes careful aim ana
fires. He Is aware that he Is not more
than 60 yards from his object.
He may aim directly straight at the
eyes, though, as buckshot pattern wide
ly, that is risky shot. Commonly ne
will aim a foot below them. The deer
may be standing full front, or 1t may
have it's side toward him with Its head
turned in his direction. 1t may even
be headed away from him and be look
ing back over its shoulder.
If any case the shot a foot below the
eyes Is the shot to make. If successful
there is a heavy splash and f1ounderins
among the lily-leaves.
There Is not much sport IN this as
sport Is esteemed by sportsmen, and yet
certain weird fascination about II
that gets into the blood. Even the
strictest of men, il he permit himself
once to yield to the seductions OF jack
ing, is apt to fall again.
The lake is so still, the shores are so
black, the dead pines loom so ghostly,
the wall of the sleepless loon breeds
such melancholy, there is such myster-
ious stealth about the murder, that 1t
attracts and repels.-New York Sun.

TELLING THE AGE OF HoRsE.-Ihe
popular idea that the age of horse
can always be told by looking at his
teeth" says a veterinary surgeon, is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
wear the horse has no more teeth, so
that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age of horse which Is more
than eight years old. AS soon as the
set of teeth is complete, however,
wrinkle begins to appear on the upper
edge of the lower eyelid and a new
wrinkle is added each year, so that to
get at the age of a horse more than
eight wears old you must figure the
teeth plus the wrinkles.-Newark Call.

the Hall Safety Signal System and is
worked by electricity, the batteries be-

Waterloo, Nov. 15.-The disappear
ance of Waldo Miller, day ticket agent
at the Great Western depot, is still an
unsolved mystery. His absence is Gre
ating considerable apprehension among
his friends in Waterloo.
Miller has been absent since about
midnight Thursday night, at which
time he was seen around the depot by
the night operator. The night man says
shortly after the departure of the mid
night train north he saw Miller start
towards the city and that is the last
seen of him.
Agent Ham is in a quandary regard
ing the matter Miller was a trust
worthy employe and one of more than
ordinary ability, genial and accomno-
dating and of retiring disposition. MI
Ham says he has been looking the mat
ter UP and the further he looks the
more mystified he becomes. He says
it is his opinion that Miller's accounts
are square to a cent, that there was
between s70O and $500 in ticket money
in the safe at the time of his departure.
Miller had two overcoats, one of which
was left hanging in the ticket once
while the other was left at his room
ing place, corner Sixth and Franklin
streets. An inspection of his room
shows that practically all his clothes
are there with the exception of those
he wore at the time.
This fact strengthens the theory that
he met with foul play, or that he be-
came suddenly deranged and wandered
into the country.
Agent Ham said today that the trav-
cling auditor had not arrived yet to
check up the office, and until he did
nothing more definite could be given
out. He said Miller was one of the
best ticket statesmen he had ever had in
the office, being thoroughly familiar
with rates and connections which en-
abled him to do his work quickly and
accurately. During his stay in Water
loo he had been employed at both the
east and west side depots, and had
made a wide circle of friends.
Miller was about % years of age, of
good appearance and address, and well
educated. His home is in northern
Missouri, where it is known he has a
father and sister. Last winter he pur-
chased small tract of land from his
father in Missouri and had paid for it
out of his earnings.

Thursday evening, the mayor, assisted
by Policeman White made most
clever capture in the Ericsson Library

suspected that the culprit would make
trouble about this time in the evening

capture, altho at the time it was ac-
complished, both the mayor and the
policeman were not a little surprised.
Last week on Wednesday or Thurs
day nights, someone entered the II
brary from one of the basement win
dows. and took some desk furniture.
The loss was reported to the library
board and to Mayor Smell. A lookout
was kept for the person, or persons but
nothing could be learned, until on Mon
day evening when the library was again
broken into and several things taken.
On Thursday night Mayor Smell de-
termined to find out who was the per-
son making THESE HDCluTIldi Nlslto' "a
few minutes before o'clock Policeman
White entered and walked into the
basement, followed shortly by Mayor
Smell. AS they entered the basement
Mr.. Smell struck match to find the
way This went out and just as the
two, Smell in the lead, were going to
enter another passage, a sound as tho
a coat was being moved reached the
ears of Mayor Shell. He listened ana
the second time the sound was heard,
and so another match was struck and
there right under the mayors nose was
found the culprit. When asked why
he was there he stated that he just
walked in and was waiting for soma
other boys who had gone up town"
The mayor took him along upstairs,
where it was found that the boy was
one Howard Evans, colored, and about
IA years of age His clothes, three
suits, We're searched and all of the
things taken from the library We're
found Policeman White took the boy
