l WOODCRAF'T FOR TENDERFEET. When you discover that you are lost,
 first stop and pull yourse together.
 Recall the direction in which you start
 ed from eamp-whether you went north, south, east or west. You can always
 do this if you try. The next step is to i fix the points of the compass. When | that is done you will be able to go gl | the general direction you wish. Find mature tree that stands apart from it's
 fellows. Even if it is only slightly sep arated it will do. The bark of this tree will be harder, drier and lighter m color on the south side On the north 1t VIII be darker, and often al the roots It Will have clump of mold or moss. On the south sides of all evergreen trees, gum, which oozes from wounds or knot-holes, will be hard and amber colored, on the north this gum is softer, gets covered With dust. and is of dirty gray In fall or winter trees which show rough
 bark will have nests of insects in the
 creviCes on their south sides. tree
 which stands in the open will have it's
 larger limbs and roueher bark on the
 south side. You have many evergreens
 in your part of the country, cone-beaf-
 ing, or coniferous, trees-firs, spruce,
 cedars, hemlocks, pines. They ought to
 be good compasses. Hardwood trees
 the oak, the ash, elms, hickories.
 mesquits, and so forth-have moss and
 mold on the north. Leaves are smaller,
 tougher, lighter in color, and with
 darker veins on the south; on the north
 they are longer, of dark green, and with
 lighter veins. Spiders build on the south sides. In the South air-pants at tach themselves to the north sides.
 Cedars bend their tips to the south.
 Any awed or cut stump will give you the compass points, because the con- centric rings are thicker on the south
 side. The heart of the stump is thus nearer to the north side. All these things are the effects of sun. Stones are bare on the south side, and if they
 have moss at all, it will be on the north At best, on the sunny side only thin covering of harsh, half-drv moss will be found. On the south side of hill the ground is more noisy underfoot On the north side ferns, moses and late flowers grow. If you are on a marsh, small bushes will give you the lesson; their-eaves and limbs show the. same differences. Almost all wild flow CTS turn their faces to the south. There are man other signs, but I reckon you will find these enough."-From Boys of the Rincon Ranch in St. Nicholas.

MILD SM OkiNb.

It has been charged that the makers
 of cigarettes pay people for trying to convince a doubting world that cigar cites are not injurious. Even if this charge is true it would not be proper to suspect the London Lancet of being in the deal. But the makers of cigar cites will not be displeased with some things the Lancet says about their product. To begin with, says the Lan- cet, a much milder tobacco can be smoked in cigarettes than in the pipe, and so far this fact is in favor of the cigarette. The usually mild tobacco in the cigarette is hot in the pipe. The cigarette is practically in direct con tact with the air from the lighted end to the mouthpiece, and thus the smoke is invariably cool, while the products of combustion are calculated to be com plete. The pipe, on the other hand is more like a retort in which to some ex- tent destructive distillation with the formation of acrid oils is set up. One very strong objection to the cigarette, however, is that the area of combus- tion is very close to the nose and mouth and thus air is constantly and inVaria- bly, inhaled containing smoke from the lighted end which is usually of a very pungent type, infinitely more pungent

Delightful Environments Enjoyed By the Visitors, and Sales are Extremely Advantageous to the Buyers,

The auction at the George H. Ford Co.'S has become quite the fashion. It is a delightful visiting opportunity, and ladies have re- marked that they have met more friends at the sale than they would at an afternoon tea.
 It seems misnomer to call this sale an auction, if one associates with the term the usual noise, buster and commonplacenes of the ordinary sale
 Here the stock is exclusive, and the environments are refined and delightful. Seats are provided. so that the visitors become an au- dience who hear the progress of the sale and view the array of ar ticles at their leisure and without crowding or discomfort.
 Delft attendants assist the visitor in a tour of the store, being ubiquitous means of reference if one desires information.
 Then. too. there is the special privilege one has to select the ar ticle to be offered for bids. Blanks are furnished to all, and when In the tour of inspection. some article is found that the visitor desires all that is necessary is to name 1t in the blank, which will be handed to MT. French, and he will put up the artipja for hiddiup
 People who have admired articles in the store and who heretofore felt unable to pay the original price, now find that they are going in the auction at prices far below the original cost in Europe. to say nothing about the cost of importa- ton. Certainly the sale is pro- gressing to the advantage of the buyers

TREsPAss AFTER A 'PossuM.
Mrs. Flickenstein Got Damages and
 Something to Roast With Her

Mrs. Flickenstein Got Damages and | Yams.
 | The very interesting case of Mrs.
 John Flickenstein against Robert Britt, l criminal trespass, was concluded in the city court yesterday morning. The States attorney contended that the defendant had been repeatedly re- quested by Mrs Fliekenstein to keep off her farm land in the Howard district, but that Britt did not heed her warn ings, and she could not make him re-
 main off the property, so she took a warrant charging him with criminal
 trespass The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and MT. Britt was fined $40, or four months In jail
 Two other members will be tried on a similar charge this week.
 The defendants counsel contended that the following were the facts of the case:
 Britt brothers went 'possum hunting and jumped an oppossum on a neigh bors farm. The dogs chased and treed the 'possum on Mrs Flickenstein's farm. lH6 SllOuClIlS Dl lHe HuuttlS dHu the barking of the dogs attracted Mrs. Flckenstein's attention, and as there were no male occupants of the home. she arose from bed, although it was 12 o'clock at night secured double barrel shotgun and went to the scene of excitement. When she arrived the Britt boys ran off the premises and she shot the 'possum and carried 1t home and cooked it.
 The defendants counsel further con tended that it was not trespassing for the defendants to so,to She place where their dogs had treed the animal, and that Mrs. Flickenstein violated the law, when she drove the young men away and took the game.
 The warrants followed, and the young men are to be tried one at a time.
 The solicitor who is prosecuting the case says the facts as shown by the evidence cannot warrant such conten tions as the defendants counsel makes, and that it is case where a defense less woman has been compelled to re- sort to the courts to defend herself against annoyance of which gallant men should be ashamed to be guilty Macon Telegraph.

 JUAT LIKE SOM E MAN.

The case of an abused Brooklyn wo- man is attracting some of the attention it ought to attract. It is seldom that woman is treated with such injustice, It appears that she endeavored to have her husband arrested for non-support, the special charge being that he had re- that she had not had new hat since the previous Easter. On learning that her husbands income was $S per week the poormaster advised her to make the best of the situation. He said he had seen bonnets in shop windows nice enough for poor woman at $1.9S.
 Was ever deserving woman worse houted? First she was compelled to undergo the woe of not having $4.9S Easter hat, and then she was humiliat- ed by being told that $1.9S was enough for woman to pay for hat when her husband was getting $s week. The whole miserable business shows how lit tie comprehension of the Easter hat question the husband and the poormas- ter had. Thank goodness there are men who are more worthy the name of man than those two beings have shown themselves to be. The whole $S would not have been too much to pay for the needed and desired Easter hat The woman was exceedingly reasonable when she only wanted -eighths of the weekly income for hat purpose. As for the $1.9S hats which the poor master spoke of, they should not have been spoken of,

NOT SA UCE FOR THE GOOSE ALONE

| i The Texas antitrust laws are not turning out any better than the similar | laws in some other States-Illinois, for l instance. The Third Court of Civil Ap- peals in Texas has declared the Texas antitrust laws unconstitutional because they discriminate between classes. Two
 suits were brought by the State against corporations, one to recover penalties for violation of the antitrust statute of 1S99 the other to forfeit a charter for
 violation of the antitrust acts of 1895
 and 1899. The effect of the decision is
 trust laws now on the statute books of
 Texas, The one vital defect of the legis-
 lation lay in the exempting of certain
 classes of producers from the provisions
 of the law In the law producers and
 raisers of live stock and agricultural
 products, together with labor organiza
 tions, were exempt from punishment for forming combines. Concerning this provision the court said: This provision relieves from the operation of the law certain classes which the Supreme court of the United States decided should be included, in order that all provisions of the law might bear alike upon all who could be guilty of the acts denounced. The vice in the statute, as illustrated in the case cited, permeates to all it's four corners, and there is no possible rule known to this court by which any of the provisions of the antitrust statute can be kept alive so as to re
 ieve it from the operation of section F of the act of 1895 Therefore, relying upon the authority cited, we must hold the statute unconstitutional, and so much of the plaintiffs action as based thereon must fall.
 So in endeavoring to beat the trusts the endeavorera have beaten them selves.

A visitor to a London workhouse re- cently found an old Irish woman in one of the wards very ill, and thought it advisable that she should see the priest without delay. A few days af- terward, when the old woman had ral- lied a little, the visitor said to her Well. Mrs. OConnor, did the priest come to you?" She replied Yes, avic, but l was surprised to ma d gintlemaa like him so ignorant" Ignorant! What do you mean?" "Shure, he knows no Irish" (Mrs. O'Connor knew her prayers in Irish, but could not say them in English.) Well, that is un- fortunate, the lady replied. 'Yes, said the old woman, and the crathur. he was so fretted about it I said to him.

A protest is being made by archeolo- gsts. against the decision of the town authorities of Genoa and Bologna to destroy the ancient town walls, and the the critics point out that such de- struction is entirely unnecessary. Flor ence lost it's ancient wall in 1860-1S70 when the octroi limits were enlarged, but Rome retains its old walls, and Milan uses it's 18th century fortifica- tions for promenade.

H. H. Foxon prints some figures to show what has happened in Quincy, Massachusetts, with no saloon, in twen- ty years. In that time the population has more than doubled, the valuation has increased nearly threefold, the de- posits in the savings banks nearly fivefold, and new houses more than fivefold These things were to be ex- pected in prosperous city so near Boston; but what was not to be expect ed in the ordinary course of things was that, while the population increas- ed 120 per cent, the amount expended for the poor department should de- crease F per cent. Five cities in Mas sachusetts with a smaller population paid much larger sums for the support of the poor.

People are slow to learn. Prepara- .tions are being made to float great lot of new Transvaal gold-mine properties in London by way of signalizing and taking advantage of the gradual ending of the war so far as it affects mining. Hundreds of companies are being form ed, says a correspondent of the London Economist, and as a result British in vestors are likely to sink many millions or hard cash. For, he adds the whole Transvaal territory has been prospect ed again and again, and all tested pay ing properties were long since taken up for working; yet the boomers are plan- ming to ref1oat abandoned properties and dig other holes to capitalize and sell on the London market.

Well, my boy, said John l.. Sullivan to a Philadelphia interviewer the other day, "I'd rather have lost S25,000 than what I did lose the other day. It was my scrap books; the full accounts of my whole life; everything I did and said during the twelve years of my championship and right on down to the present time besides. There were thou sands of columns of clippings in the books and hundreds of pictures of me and my friends and enemies. ] used to like to take down the volume, when I was in mood of calling back the past, and I'd study the fights over and dream. But they have all been burnt up in fire, and I'll have to dream without them.'
