VITALITY OF THE CENTieEDE
Poisonous Reptile Lives for We "a
Without S]ustenance.


The sight of a fuil-grUwn centipcde
is said by travellers in tropical la is
to be enough 20 affect the stron. st
nerves Ten to eleven inches is the
average length, although larger ones
have been seen. Lafcadio Hearn, in
Two Years in the French West In
dies" says that the vitality of the EN-
tipede is amazing.
MIR. Hearn kept one in a bottle, with
out food or water, for thirteen weeks,
At the End Of which time it remained
active and dangerous as ever. The
centipede has one natural enemy able
to cope with him, the hen.
The hen attacks him with delight
and often swallows him. head first,
without taking the trouble to kill him.
The cat hunts him. but she is careful
to put her head near him. She
has a trick of whlrling him round and
round upon the O SO quickly as to
stupefy him; then when she sees a
good chance she strikes him dead with
her claws.
There are superstltions concerning
the creature which have a good effect
Ia diminishing his tribe. If you kill a
centipede o are sure to receive
money soon: and even If you dream Of
killing one II is good luck.

MIND HEALERS CONVICTED.

The supreme court Of the United
States decided recently that the use of
the mails could not be denied to a
certain mental healing" concern in
Missouri. The court said in its opin-
ion: Because the compliments might
or did claim to be able to effect cures
by reason of working upon and affect
ing the mental powers of the individual
and directing them toward an accom-
plishment ola IL of the disease I'M
der which he might be suffering. who
can say that it is a fraud or false pre-
tense within the meaning of the stat
ute?" This week a jury in the United
States district court At Detroit has
found three men guilty who were
charged with violating the postal laws.
Their offense consisted in advertising
that for 81 they would send by mail a
mental cure" for any ailment. The
decision Of the supreme court in the
Missouri case did not save them. One
of the defendants made a damaging
admission during the trial. 1t was to
the effect that the mental cure would
not work in the case of a patient who
had received the necessary instruc-
lions but had failed to pay the 81 fee.
The assertion that the efficacy of a
prescriptions depends not on the po-
tency ofthe medicine or the faith of the
patient but on the payment of the heal
er's fee is too severe a tax on %credulity.
That a mind healer can so order it that
the fellows who have not paid him shall
derive no benefit from his instructions
Is not to be believed. The verdict Of
the jury in the Detroit case appears to
be a proper one.-Chicago Tribune.

"BAlT" FOR WILD TURKEYS"

ISlClC SIi VI CSPSII
Wild turkeys are still quite plentiful
in some portions of North Carolina,
as they also are in Arkansas. Texas,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma and South
ern Missouri, says the American Field,
but just how long they will be plenti-
full in any of these states is a question,
If the states possess a Gil McDufie,
as does North Carolina. who. it is
said, only a short time since killed
seven turkeys at one shot. 1t is
claimed that McDuhe has killed 1900
wilG turkeys and zoo deer in his time,
besides countless numbers of smaller
game. TIE way he makes his val on
turkeys is by batting" He finds

AS TO ORGANIZATION.

In the organization OF a business
mems club for the city of Laramie the
social side need not be overlooked.
There is no place here at present where
a person al go and spend a pleasant
hour in the evening without ~enCrcach-
ing upon the rights of private individ-
uals or being where liquor is ~dispens-
ed, and that is distasteful to some.
The Republican has in mind a club of
eighty men conducted for the very
small sum OF one dollar per month
each where the latest papers and mag
azines are constantly on hand and
where a social game of billiards, cards.
etc, may be enjoyed without expense
to the players. The club mentioned has
four rooms-card room. billiard room.
reading DON and parlor. Not only is
1t kept up on the monthly dues of 81,
but there is a surplus for an occasion.
al entertainment.
What other people can do AN be
done by the people of Laramie.
Laramie is in need of an organiza-
ton to look after internal as well as
external affairs. Last year strides were
made In the direction of municipal i'm
provement. These improvements,
small though they we're. received the
hearty sanction and commentator of
the taxpayers. The park is a necessity
and the boulevard to the springs should
receive the constant improvement it de-
serves. A strong business mems club
could aid the city council materially in
matters Of this nature by suggestions
and in the matter of voicing public
opinion. 1t could aid the board of county
commissioners in the matter of road
improvement through the county.
Good roads are the arteries through
which the business men draw their
trade.
In city improvement, much is needed
during the coming year. There are
many sidewalks which should be re-
placed. streets to be improved, dirty
alleys to be watched. hundreds of trees
to be planted and a thousand and one
things the people as a whole are inter-
ested in.
The people of Laramie can certainly
be sociable and at the same time as
sumo a more enterprising civic spirit
a spirit that will result in material
benefit of the entire people of Albany
county.
Let's get together.
