Sioux City, Iowa, Oct 1s.-While the
watchers sat about the dead body of Earl
Gilman, son of A. A. Gilman, at midnight
Thursday night, horse, crazed by the
eclipse Of the moon, dashed wildly upon
the porch and rammed it's head through
the front window.
The watchers saw the rolling eyes OF the
beast and were terror1zed The animal
then ran to the back Of the house and
sought an entrance. Finally it bolted into
a wire fence and its throat was so Sc
verely cut that when found by police OIL
GERS it was necessary to shoot It,. -. -
It is a scientific fact that the eclipse
Of the moon often crazes' animals and
the conduct of this horse cannot be ex-
planned in any other way. 1t was owned

 None will be surprised that there are TO women among the sailors, sailors and marines of the United States gov ernment, yet there are 153 women em- plOyed as ''boatmen" and sailors.
 Women have not as yet invaded the ranks of the city fire department, still not less than S79 women are returned in the same general class of watch men. policemen and detectives"
 There are no women street car driv- CTS, though there are two women mo tormen" and thirteen women conduc- tors.
 They have not as yet taken up the employment of telegraph and telegraph "linemen." yet 22,556 of them are oper- atOrs for these companies.
 There are no women apprentices and helpers among the roofers and skaters, yet two women are returned as engaged in these employments. Q There are 12S women plumbers: for ty-fiveplasterers; 167 brick layers and stone masons; 241 paperhangers: l. 1.759 painters and glaziers, and 545 women carpenters and joiners.
 Nc women are returned as helpers to steam boilermakers. but eight women work at this industry as full mechan. ics. There are 193 women blacksmiths: : 51l machinists: 3.S7O women workers in iron and steel; S90 in brass, and 1775 women workers in tin.

UNCLE SAM'S BIG STORE
In Size and Assortment of Stocks Few
 Outrank the Governments.

The annual report of the commis- sary general to the secretary of war which has just been issued. is one of the most interesting documents that has come from the war department in q long time. It's figures and tables in- dicate that the United States army manages a large general store, and that for the proper performance of his duties an officer must be a business man as we'll as a tactician. The report shows that meals for recruiting par ties and recruits and troops moving cost for one year $221. .2S49S." and that the liquid coffee for troops travelling cost $2O 902 .15" The cost of ice was $233, ,56917, and fees and wages to in- spectors and miscellaneous small em- ployments' ate up SS66. T49.72.
 The commissary department is not only a purchaser and consumer, but has thousands of customers for its wares. and the report states that of ficers purchased from the department to the extent of S21,53S.22. and the sales to enlisted men amount to more than S65,0 There are few bad debts, because accounts are collected through the pay department, but it appears that despite the close examination and careful inspection to which merchan- disc is subjected some commissary stores must be condemned, and the loss fer the year in that line was more than $3OO,O ,O0O.
 One of Uncle Sans largest customers for commissary supplies is the army in the Philippines. and the report on that head is doubly interesting because it shows remarkably good business man. agement. The S.574,972 pounds of beef and mutton which were supplied are described as "Oi a most excellent quail ity." and these supplies, although they came from Australia for the most part, were delivered at low prices, the aver age being 6.6S cents a pound for beef and $50 cents a pound for mutton. There is bit of pardonable self-lauda- tion in the report on this particular head. in which General Weston says:
 "The prices paid, with all expenses included, have been very reasonable, and are in wide contrast with those paid for the British army in South Africa, where the cost of a ration of beef alone delivered to the British army in that section has equaled the cost of our entire ration of beef, flour, fresh and dried vegetables. fruit, cof- fee. sugar. etc, delivered in Manila"
 To form an idea of the stock which is carried in this great store one must read the list of articles kept on hand for sale to officers and enlisted men" It includes:
 Candy, can openers. chamos skins cheese, cherries, chocolate, cigars, cin- namon. clOthespins. cloves, cocoa, cof- fee, lobster, lye, macaroni matches, needles plum pudding. polish, preserves, tap ioea. thread, tobacco, toilet water, ton que, tooth powder
 This great variety" stock is handled and distributed by competent men, and wherever there is an army post there is also branch store.-New York Tribune.

CHAMPION ROPER's WORK.

"There are few people who know that the art of throwing a lariat has become a regular profession" said J. E. Carroll to a Kansas City Star re- porter. MT. Carroll is the champion lariat thrower of the world, having won eight prizes this year.
 "Roping steers is almost a science,' continued MT. Carroll. For the reason that the business is not merely the act of throwing a moose over the animal < horns, but nowadays an expert roper knows that to rope" an animal by the horns he must make a rope moose d certain size, must hold his hands just at the proper angle and must ride a horse that is we'll trained for the work For instance, while I have the record of the world for rOping and tying d wild steer, I would be almost helpless If l were on green horse or if I fail- ed to hold my hands properly while throwing the moose
 How many roping contests are held in the west every year?' MT. Carroll was asked.
 Flight were held this year at the fol- lowing places: Hobart, O. T.; Man gum, O. T.; Texola, O. T.. Lawton, O. T.; Roswell, N. NJ: Albuquerque, N. M; San Antonio, Tex and Amarillo, Texas.
 The first prize for roping and tying a steer in the quickest time in most of the tournaments was $1,OOO, so you see

 It did not take long for them to find out that they had a common love of adventure. and in talking over what they would like best to do they made up their minds to enlist together in the navy.
 So they signed for four years service as sailors few weeks ago at Hunting ton, Ky. and week later became proteges of Gunner Morgan aboard the Minneapolis at League island navy yard. And in the short time they have been there the boys have made wonderful progress.
 Any one not familiar with their story would hardly believe that they were trained in childhood to be enemies as men. For they are inseparable com panions when not learning the art of the sailor trade

 The now famous Hatfield Mccoy feud was all caused by an argument over an ordinary grisly razor-backed hog. in fact not a full -hedged porcine, but simply a shote According to tra- ditiOn it was a Mccoy shote and Ran dolph Mccoy charged Floyd Hatfield with having beguiled it into his own domains. In the Jaw suit that followed Mccoy lost, and from that moment war was on-a war consistently pur- sued in the wild and rugged regions of West Virginia and Kentucky, and which has cost nobody knows how many lives and what number of maimed.
