Their Appearance DeceIves All but
II the old Hunter.
Next to the difficulty of comprehend
ing the wonderful senses of the deer is
that of understanding how one looks in
the woods. Your ideas are necessarily
taken from pictures or from stuffed
deer or tame ones in park. You are
almost certain to be looking for deer,
whereas you might better be looking
for anything else. In the woods you
seldom see half of a deer and generally
much less, often only part Of the
shoulder, or only an ear over log or
leg under it, a bit of rump projecting
from a bush or a head and bit of the
neck reaching up for leaves. The ar
cade Of maple lit up by the scarlet Of
the ginseng and bush cranberry, the
little arbor where the wild hop is yell
lowing over the thorn apples on which
half dozen ruffed grouse are taking
their breakfast, the edge of the pool
where the trout flashes through the
water over which the chelOne is still
nodding, or the darksOme glade where
the golden petals of the witch hazel
are closing the floral march of the year
would all make lovely frames for that

hairs all glistening, the dark dew
claws shining, and even the split in the

are not there except at long intervals

STOHY OF A FAMOUS POEM
How Gray's "Elegy" Made Its First
Public Appearance.

One Of the most celebrated Of eight
zenith century poems, Gray's "Elegy,"
made its first public appearance in the
shape of a hurriedly printed pamphlet,
which was sold for sixpence. This pub
ication was the result Of a curious
race for priority. Gray completed the
poem some time in 1850, but had no
immediate intention of publishing it.
"A copy, however, found its way into
the hands Of a Mr.. owen, the publish
er and proprietor Of the Magazine OF
Magazines, q recently established peri
odical, and he wrote to the poet stat
ing his intention of printing it in his
magazine, and asking his cooperation.
The proposal was not at all agreeable
10 Gray, but, seeing that publication was
inevitable, he wrote at once to Horace
Walpole explaining the circumstance
and asking him to get Dodsley to print
it Immediately, but without the au-
thor's name. Walpole handed the
poem to Dodsley on Feb. II, 1851, and
on the goth copy was in Gray's hands
at Cambridge, so that it was probably
published in London on the 18th or
10th. The Magazine Of Magazines for
February, according to the then Gus
tom, was published toward the end of
the month, and may have come out on
the same day. The rival editions must
have appeared, it is pretty safe to say,
within a few hours of each other. The
action of the magazine editor was
hardly justitiable, but it laid the read
ing world under a debt of obligation
by forcing the poem into print. Sew
eral original copies of the "Elegy" in
the poets writing are in existence.
One, which was sold for $1,150 at
Sotheby's in 1915, was especially in
teresting from the number of correc-
tons and erasures made by the au-
thor's hand. In this manuscript Gray
had substituted Cromwell" and mil
ton" for Caesar and "Tully" as he had
originally written. His friend Mason
is said to have suggested this altera-
ton as we'll as the title of the poem,
which Gray at first simply called

How Minneapolis and Other

Buildings Bill.

From, The journal Bureau, Room A, Post

Washington, April 25.-The omnibus
public building bill, which will be re-
ported bXEsChairTan Mercer tomorrow,
contains an appropriation of ,$25o,oo0 for
the construction Of an addition to the
Minneapolis public building. Representa-
tive Fletcher says this should be under
stood by the people of Minneapolis to be
temporary provision intended to ac-
commodate the business of the Office for
a few.,years when new building will be
provided by congress, which will provide
ample room for years.
It is understood that a $4,000 build
ing is provided for Saltwater. Repre-
sentative Stevens asked for $4,000, but
the commmittse cut off one third because
the total of the bill had to be kept down.
Representative Eddy's proposition for a
building at Crookston is also carried in
the BILL but the amount Off that was
also cut from $751; 900 to $50, 600.
In North Dakota, Grand Forks gets a
new building, and in outh Dakota the
limit of cost of the building at Aberdeen
is increased, and the secretary of the
treasury is authorized to purchase site
for a building at Pierre. The bill will be

amendment.
In Wisconsin new buildings are author

STATE WANTS TO KNOW

The Roads Will Think Twice Before

showing at the rate hearing before the

nished by the commission and they will
go to the bottom. Of the matter. The at

action.
The principal thing wanted BY the COM
mission is a division of operating ex-
penses between freight and passenger
Earnings are apportioned now in the re-
ports, but no division is made of operat-
ing expenses. The commission wants to
know passenger earnings per train mile,
and the cost of operating passenger trains
per train mile.
At later day this information may be
valuable for another purpose. There will
be an inquiry into freight rates within q
year or two, and it will be step toward
determining the reasonableness of pres
ent freight revenues, to find the cost OF
operating freight trains.

His object. he said, was to convince
the senate of the great Importance Of the
subject to the American people. For
quarter of a century nearly every state
had been struggling with the question.
Experience had proved it impossible to
obtain uniformity in state laws. This bill
was not so drastic as had been proposed
and he believed that no legitimate OBJ
lection could be raised 1t attempted to
regulate the sale of only such foods as
entered into interstate commerce, ana
congress-, therefore, had ample authority.
He declared that. the extent of adultera-
ton and misbranding Of food products
was appalling The laws severely pun
ished the stamping Of lead as money. 1t
was counterfeiting and the man who
should advocate the repeal of the law
against counterfeiting of money would be
regarded as insane. Yet dust or mud was
stamped as -four and glucose as honey.
The one wrong was no greater than the
other. The amount of deleterious food

year was valued at fully S1,l7o, 0Oo,ooo,
while the total amount of adulterated
food products. each year was nearly

MIR. McCumber expressed the belief,
based upon evidence taken by his com
mittee that manufacturers and dealers
generally would not object to the bill, in
asmuch as it would put them all upon
uniform basis.

The Body Tries to Sweat Them Out

At a convention Of medical men in St.
Louis the effects of coffee drinking were
carefully considered. 1t was unanimously
agreed that while coffee does not seem
to iniure some persons, to others 1t is
a rank poison. The effect on different
PERSONS is, of course, very different. IN
tome the heart is affected, in others the
kidneys, again the stomach or bowels, or
the eyes, and in nervous cases the pros
tration is spread over the whole body.

to be about 40 years of age and to weigh
about 165 pounds. At his side was q; tel

and mad evidently been lying undisturbed
for two or three days. There is nothing
to indicate he was crushed by the lum-
Der and there are no bruises sufficient to
cause death. However, the head was
wrapped in the quilt, and suffocation is
the theory of many.
The car came from Woodruff, Wis. The
man had been a laborer, evidently. and
appearances would argue that he had
crawled into the car with the intention Of
