Satisfied with Themselves.

The Haitian loves to play at being a
soldier. He delights In uniforms and
gold lace, military titles and display,
yet he allows his neighbor, San Do
mingo, to push the frontier between
the states farther and farther to the
westward without offering the slight
est objection. Here is conversation
reported by Hesketh Prichard between
three consequential Haftians, clad re-
spectively in blue, green and pink uni
forms thickly Melted over with gold
lace:

the Englishman, with caution.

CAPTIVE WOLF LEADS
OTHERS TO SLAUGHTER.

For several months Wendelin Krisch,
a trapper residing near Nestoria, Mich,
has at frequent intervals appeared at
the County Clerks Office with wolf
pelts on which he has been paid the
bounty Of SIT apiece. In the aggregate
he has drawn a large sum. The sue
cess Of the trapper has caused consid-
he followed, the wolves being very
cunning, stunning poison and not often
being trapped. Now Krisch's secret
has leaked out.
1t develops that some months ago he
managed to catch female wolf in a
trap. He built large yard near his
shanty and in it keeps the wolf, fast
ened to long chain. Her bowls bring
wolves from miles around, and the
trapper, sitting in his cabin, calmly
shoots them at his leisure.
In every section Of the peninsula the
wolves are reported unusually numer-
Gus this year. The deer In consequence
are suffering disastrously, as the many
carcasses seen in the woods testify,
and lately even men have been at
tackled. Only a day or two ago there
was a case Of the latter kind in Dickin-
son County. Claude Freckleton, en-
ployed as cook at logging camp six
miles from Floodwood, started in the
evening to walk to the village. When
half the distance he heard something
running toward him, and, turning, saw
a wolf close by. The man, not being
armed, was badly frightened
The yelps Of the wolf were answered
by others, and soon four more of the

Congress appropriated a million dol
lars for the soldiers home now building
at Johnson City, Tenn, thirty-f1ve
buildings embosomed in a beautiful
park and all set Gin the heart of the
mountains" The characteristic dis
tinction of this home is that veterans
Of the Civil War, both Union and Con-
federate, and soldiers disabled in the
Spanish War will be harbored there.
1t Is pleasing to think of the older he
roes, once antagonists, dwelling togeth-
er in comfort and amity. 1t makes one
wish the factions that continually snap
and snarl and fight in the Central
American States could be transported
to the neighborhood, fastened in cages
and made to look on the scene until
they absorbed the meaning of it. Moth
ing Is clearer than that the republics
on the farther side of Mexico will new
er prosper until their people learn to do
as we have done, ':get through" and be
friends.

invention shown in the illustration has
been designed. The binding plate which
presses against the surface of the cake
of soap is made of porcelain preferably,
although aluminium may be utilized,
and to insure a perfect fit around the
outer edge s. rubber packing ring is
fitted in a groove on the edge. The
tendency of the water to soften the
outer edge of the cake is prevented
by this plate, as the contact Of the
brush is limited to the small open
ings, but sufficient soap for a good
lather is easily obtained, and as the
cake wears beneath the openings the
plate is turned to fresh position and
pressed lower in the cup to hold the
cake in place. George M. Muller, of
Brooklyn, n. Y, Is the inventor.

One of the most curious industrial
plants in the West is the old Holland
type of grist mill at Benson, near
Bloomington, II. 1t was erected up
ward Of thirty years ago, and is still
doing business. 1t is operated by wind
power, REINFORCED by small engine,
which can be called into use whenever
natures agent fails in it's adequacy.
The tall circular building is surmount-
ed by four huge wings, each Of which
is forty feet in length, or eighty in the
length of each pair. The mill is sixty
feet high and is quite attractive for art
lists who desire a picturesque bit of
rural scenery.

I prepared a first-rate talk for the oc-

whether 1 was on foot or riding

'doped' in order to prevent me from
speaking. When l began to rail-fence
around and talk nonsense they tried to
take me away, but I became as stub
born as mule and insisted upon
speaking. 1t would be a nail in my
coffin to show me off in drunken con-
dition, and l was finally pushed for

fact that was making a fool If my

scion, according to the Detroit Free
Press. 1.-THE people laid it all to emo

Their ablest leader, Booker t. Wash
ington, sees the salvation Of his race in
becoming tillers of the soil. His coun-
sci is of universal application. Man
can do without everything but what
the soil produces. In it's cultivation
there is more rest for the mind and
exercise for the body than in any other
vocation known to mankind. Migra-
ton from farms to factories helped to
bring in the industrial area, but over
pressure upon city employment now
points the way back to the soil.

Only quibbler will quarrel with the
statement that every man works for a
living. Those who do not are the ex-
,ceptions proving the rule, and they are
exceedingly unhappy. And no man
works. harder than the millionaire, to
whom the eight-hour law affords no re-
lief whatever. The extreme penalty OF
financial law has been imposed upon
him-he is sentenced to financial servi-
fude for life.

At the more northern ranches the de-
horner takes precautions against the
dehorned cattle taking cold. When
the horn is clipped a gouge is used to

Is thrust into this, sealing it and pro-
tecting the animal against cold. The

STRiNGING OF WIRES.
Ordinance Introduced to Regulate
Work of Electricians.

An ordinance was introduced in
Council yesterday to regulate the
stringing of overhead wires and to re-
quire the removal of wires, loops, poles
and supports no longer used. The or
dinance, if it passes, will make it I'M
lawful for any person to string wires
or make any electrical connections
without the consent of the electrical
inspector. Durable water proof insu-
lation, not less than two coatings, must
also be provided for light and power
wires and samples of wires to be
strung must be submitted to the cleo
trical inspector and approved by him.
Another provision of the ordinance is
that all electric light and power wires
must be fastened to insulated supports
by insulated tie wires having an insu-
lation equal to that of the conducting
wire. Wires must be tightly stretched
and never allowed to sag to such an
extent as to be capable of coming into
swinging contact with one another,
with signs or other neighboring OBJ
jects.
Whenever it is necessary for a wire
to run under a telegraph, fire alarm or
telephone wire, permission shall be
granted, but the company running such
wires shall raise the other wires so
that the latter shall not be less than
FIVE feet above the wires to be put in.
Wires must cross not less than five
feet apart. A number of, other pro-
visions are, made.
The ordinance sets forth that rs pro-
visions must be met by July 1, and any
Violation or refusal on the part of any
person or company to make such alter
ations or repairs in their present or
future construction. as may be de-
nanded in conformity to the ordinance,
shall work immediate suspension of all
permits held by the company or per-
sons guilty of such violation or refusal.
In case of persistent violation of re-
quirements or dangerous necessity, the
electrical inspector is authorized to cut
out lights or to cut out the current in
any locality concerned and to inforce
the discontinuance of all lights and
current until the ordinance is complied
with.
A section of the ordinance leaves the
Mayor and Aldermen power to order
wires placed under ground when per-
mits are granted, and still another sec
ton sets forth that nothing in the or
dinance is to be construed as relieving
any firm or company from liability or
moral responsibility, in case of acct
dent to life or damage to property in
the operation of their plants. A fine
of 500 or Imprisonment is named as
a penalty for the violation of the ordi-
nance.
An ordinance to amend an ordinance
entitled can ordinance in relation to
the erection of electric wires in the
city of Savannah" was also intro
duced. The amendment is to make it
unlawful for any person other than a
practical electrician to wire any build
ing or to alter or change the wires in
any building in the city where such
wires are, or are to be, used for cleo
trio lights. motor or heating devices.
Any practical electrician working on
wires must pay full years license.
