The Rise and Fall Of an Apostle Of

This is Internationally the most compre-

works which has ever appeared in print.
It is the work of "a devoted admirer, yet
discriminating critic, an indefatigable
searcher and sitter Of manuscripts and YER
sions. valiant defender against Islander
and rumor. a believer in the perpetuity Of
Poe's writings as among the most brilliant
examples of American literature. The edi-
tor has unfortunately ventured into the

were better left closed. Perhaps Professor
Harrison's judgment Of the poets personal
ity L. as fair az any that has ever been
reached 1t Is happy mean between the
extremes of attack and defense which that
extraordinary character has evoked since
the mans death. But the biography which
embraces the whole Of the first volume,

Grabs that Hunt Rabbits.

Catching rabbits with crab Is a
favorite pastime of the country boys
In the lands lying on the English
coast One would think a mouse trap
and q bit Of cheese would be a saner
method, but it isn't. The way they
work 1t Is this.
A large, lively crab is caught on the
shore and pressed into service From
a lighted candle hot grease is dropped
ON the back of the crustacean and the
candle stuck upright in this way ON
the she'll AS soon as the grease hold
ing the candle has hardened firmly the
crab is placed in one end of Il rabbit
burrow, at the other end of which
there Is net. The rabbits, seeing the
strange looking creature coming to-
ward them sideways with lighted
candle on its back become terrified
and bolt out to be caught in the net
of the hunters. In due time the crab
also emerges and is caught and placed
in the mouth of another burrow to
scare out other rabbits. This continues
until the boys have bagged all the rab-
bits they want If the crab proves
himself lively and works hard in their
behalf the hunters generally restore
him to the sea after the nights sport
Is over.

WILD BEASTS IN A POCKET.
Corrailed by Ranchnen in Arizona and
Ruthlessly Slaughtered.


For several months past the noun
tain lions, bears and wolves that
abound in some parts of Arizona have
been playing sad havoc with the stock
on the ranch Of Colin Campbell in Co
chise county. With 10000 cattle ON the
range, the heavy losses in calves and
yearlings by the ravages of the wild
animals have cut down the dividends
of the stock company which owns the
range.
Charley" Montgomery, famous all
over Arizona as a hunter and who was
chief of scents under General Crook
during the trouble with the Apaches,
was engaged to extermlnate the ami
mails which have been raiding the
herds. Montgomery engaged 100 men
of the Pima tribe and held a big round
up of the ''varmints.'
Early in the morning his Indians ana
a score of cowboys surrounded dis
trict five miles square in the foothills 1f
the Chiricahua range and gradually
closed in toward the center, with 200
Jugs Ill the EDutO. AS THEY ltdNltt thS
center of the circle catamounts black
bears, coyotes and an occasional grlZ-
zly bear tried to break through the line,
but were met by shower of bullets.
Dozens of animals perished in the at
tempt to escape, but POO others were
finally cornered in n box canyon, while
redskins and cowpunchers picked them
off from the rocks above.
There were scores of close conflicts
with the enraged and frightened brutes,
and in one melee four Indians were
fearfully mangled by a grizzly before
their shots finally finished the bear.
One of the reds, Antonio Hermo, a for
mer chief of the tribe, received fatal
wounds from the claws of big fellow.
The dogs closed In on the victims and
dozens of them were killed before the
slaughter was complete. The final
count showed nineteen dead mountain
lions, five grizzlies, two lynxes and over
100 coyotes-doubtless the biggest
roundup of wild animals that has ever
occurred in Arizona.

Not only is Queen Helena beautiful
in form and feature, but she possesses
that nameless charm without which
perfect beauty is often devoid OF fas-
clnation. She has large. lustrous dark
eyes, full of expression. She has mass
es of black hair-the genuine ravens
wing hue. Her complexion is dazzling
transparent. Her carriage is extreme
ly graceful and majestic.
She has now become popular among
the people of Italy, and doubtless her
good example in bringing up her baby
Will have far-reaching effects.
And Queen Helena is as sensible as n
entirely with her concurrence and ad-
vice that King Victor Emmanuel some
time ago made known through his
ministers that, with the object of re-
lleving the burdens upon the national
treasury and upon the taxpayers. he
was about to order n further reduction
in the amount OF the civil list due to
him as sovereign.
When he succeeded to the throne,
says the London NJ. A. T.. he made
considerable surrenders of this char
acter. Then he gave up another mil
lion lire of his official income to his
mother, so as to relieve the treasury of
its obligation of paying her the annuity

HAS A UNIQUE PIPE.
One Made from Root of Historic Tree
Is Wonderfully Carved.


NJ N. Silver, OF Philadelphia is the
proud possessor OF what Is considered
the most unique pipe In existence. OBJ
viously II Is the most remarkable for
the workmanship and skill which were
displayed In carving It.
In 1861, about fifty years ago, J.
Stone, OF Trappe. Chester County,
which Is near Washingtou's headquar-
ters at Valley Forge, came across a
wonderfully shaped piece of wood. 1t
was about six feet long and was n
root from one Of the historic trees of
Valley Forge. The root took his fancy
and an idea entered his mind that
1t would make valuable historical
relic II placed In a carver's hands and
carved as he directed. But he never
tually the historic root came into the
hands of Mr.. Silver, who had his own
Ideas regarding carving. AS result 1t
was made into n bunch of pipes and
cigar holders, many In one, although
lie calls 1t pipe.
iHe Woih W lilly pipe took l,%of
hours and, II reckoned at 30 cents per
hour, the pipe cost him about $500, not
considering what was paid for it in
the original transaction.
Mr.. Silver has had many offers for
the pipe, but has declined them all, the
largest amount offered being $500. He
expects to place it In the Carnegie Mu-
scum at Pittsburg II the negotiations
which are going on turn out right.
The exterior Of the pipe is carved out
In many faces of grotesque expression,
which give 1t very odd appearance.
1t has quite a number OF large trap
doors. from which when opened, figures
made of wood spring out. 1t has many
receptacles for holding tobacco and
quite number of men can smoke at
the same time. for the interior Is com
posed Of n labyrinth Of small pipes and
tubes. The smoke Is pleasant by the
time 1t reaches the mouth, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, losing the hot,
burning sensation, and at the same
time deposting the nicotine inside the
pipe
