BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis.-Attorney
G: M. Perry was a member~of the Fifth
Wisconsin infantry during the civil war.
Just after the battle OF Cedar creek, he
went over the battlefield looking for a
conrade he thought had been killed. He
came upon another member of his COM
pany, Daniel Stetzer. who was shot
through the lungs and was thought to be
dying. Mr.. Perry gave him a drink Of wa
ter, took off his overcoat and wrapped 1t
around him and left him to die. Last
week while at Melrose Mr.. Perry learned
Of man by the name Of Stetzer. living
a few miles from there. He drove over
and found it to be the Stetzer he. sup
posed filled an unknown grave in Virginia.
Some Of the sa1oon-keepers have had
the idea that because the Winnebago In
dams are free holders that the law relat-
ing to selling intoxicants to Indians did
not apply to them. Disbursing Agent ia
cobson has received an opinion by the
United States attorney general in which
he says that the law does apply, as they
are under the direction of the Indian
agent. Mr.. jacobson will endeavor to
have the law enforced at the coming pay
ment.

ONE DAY TOO EARLY

Deer Hunters Cannot Lawfully Shoot IN
|. - Wisconsin Until Tuesday. :. ..
MILWAUKEE,, WIS.-Deer hunters who
hurried into the woods yesterday in order
to be ready to begin hunting to-day will
have their trouble for their pains and a
dull day. The state game warden has de-
cided that the open season for deer does
not begin to-day, but on Tuesday.
The law reads that the open season com
prises the last twenty days Of November
and under the ruling of the warden this
includes the 30th and excludes the 10th
Therefore hunters will not be allowed to
bag a deer before midnight Monday. The
deputy game wardens were given explicit
orders to see that mo shooting is done
until the time fixed. T..
f The manner in which the hunters will
flock to the northern woods is shown by
the fact that this year 207 licenses were
issued to nonresidents at $25 each. Last
year nonresidents took only 1879. Residents
Of the state have been taking licenses by
the thousands. 1t Is estimated that IS, 0O(
have been issued. 49,.
Not all these hunters will go to the
woods for deer, but there will be enough
to cover the woods in northern Wiscon-
sin so thickly that 'life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness will be seriously in
terfered with for the twenty days dating
from tomorrow morning.

. DIES MONIES, loWA-The republicans
are already beginning to talk about re-
districting the state at the next session
| Of the general assembly. 1t was tried or
talked of at the last session, but nothing
came of it,. Now that the second dis
trict has gone democratic, an effort will
probably be made to redistrict the state
so as to make it republican. Originally
the second was intended for democratic
district, The. districts were recognized
at a time when the state was much closer
than it is at present, and in order to save
other districts 1t was necessary to make
the second democratic When the free
silver agitation began in the democratic
party it became republican and has con-
tinued so up to this year. The chances
are now in favor of it's being democratic
unless the state is redistricted.

wrath bubbled over.
Dem boys. Dem IeedIe Ioafers. Dey

But, says the New York Times, it was
only the beginning OF his troubles. The
west wind had done a thorough Job and
scattered the balloons all over thar
part of Long Island. Through the day
farmers, men who worked on the rail-
way and trolley lines, even tramps,
trudged into the grocery, proudly bear
ing toy balloons and insisting on dol
lar each for returning them. All were
filled with Indignation at the grocer's
refusal. And, to add insult to injury,
the boys responsible for the veXing of
his spirit clustered in little groups, up
and down the street, just out of reach,
and by their loud and unfeigned ex-
pressions of delight added to the ro-
tund grocer's misery.
Late in the afternoon the grocer ex-
planned his troubles to a friendly pO-
liceman and asked how the majesty of
the law could be invoked to punish the
erring boys. The policeman, after hear
ing the facts, delivered his judgment
with the solemnity of a Solomon.
"If youse haven't paid out the money,
there's nothin' you can do. But if youse
pay the coin, them boys is builty of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses."
This cleared matters up for the puz-
zled grocer.

out to get what they can, but the main
sustenance Of the bear is the accum-
ulated flesh of the summer. But l am
inclined to believe that the snake can
hold the record when it comes to doing
without food. l had an experience a
few years ago which convinced me of
this fact. l caught a rattlesnake in
my henhOuse in the southeastern part
of Arkansas, and happened TO catch
him so that he could not get out.
There YVES a good-sized rat hole in the
place, and he darted into this as a last
resort. I stopped the hole so the snake
could not get out, and for the pur-
pose of starving the reptile to death.
1 never thought anything more about
the snake until more than IS months
after that, when | had occasion to
make some repairs about the place.
1t was necessary TO DO some excayat-
ing. l was simply startled 10 find
short distance below the surface the
snake I had sought to starve to death.
He was little lank, and was not very
active. But he was still alive. I felt
sorry for the Teptilian, and would not
kill him, allowing him to crawl away.
Since that time | have been conCinced
that a snake could do without food for
a considerable length of time, and the
claim that they can go 81 months does
not startle me at all"

scribed her loss, but you must first

AS the monkey is a valuable speci-

he could not bulge them, and he is

siderable Indignation.

A rotund German grocer who con-
ducts store il the suburbs of Brook
lyn recently incurred the enmity of the
boys in that vicinity. How The feud
started no one seems to know, but it
certainly engendered plenty of hard
feeling. At first the boys avenged their
supposed wrongs by jeers and occa-
sional missiles. The police tool,
hand and blocked that game. Then
they planned and carried out revenge
which showed that Young America has
not lost its traditional ingenuity.
A pool was formed, each boy contri-
butng all his pocket money. The
funds of the pool were invested in toy
balloons such as are sold by street ia
kris. The purchase being made at
wholesale rates large supply of bal
looms was accumulated. To each bal
loon was attached a slip of paper which
stated that the finder would receive a
dollar on returning the balloon to the
grocer. One afternoon when the wind
was blowing in the Long Island direc-
tion the boys sent up the balloons.
Then they awaited developments.
The first development came early the
next morning in the form of a husky
Long Island farmer, who stopped his
team in front of the grocery store,
marched in with captive toy balloon
and handed it TO the German grocer
with the remark that he would like his
dollar. The grocer stared blankIy.
