Tried to Pull E1kS' Teeth

Green Bay, Oct. 18.-Jacob
Jackson, who was gored by elks
at the menagerie in Hagemeister
Park Monday, is now able to
speak and stated that he was 60
ing to make a short cut to the
next street by jumping over the
park fence when he was attacked
by the animals. The police have
been investigating the matter,
however, and do not believe the
story of Jackson's accident, say.
ing that the man went into the
elks' Enclosure for the purpose of
pulling the teeth of the animals.
The teeth of elks are valuable and
it is claimed that the man must
have attacted the elks or they
would not have molested him.
The police also claim that the
mans home is not in Winona, as
he claims, and they think that he
is from Chicago.

A Vicious Plant.

Recently a foreign naturalist
named Dunstan was walking near
the bank of Lake Nicaragua when
suddenly he heard his dog bowling
at a little distance behind him.
Rushing to the animals assistance,
he found that it was in the grasp of
three black and greasy thongs which
had coiled themselves around its
neck and had torn it so badly that
blood was flowing in several places.
After some difficulty the naturalist
freed the dog, and in a few days it's
wounds were healed.
The thongs which imprisoned
the animal were the principal por-
ton of plant which is known
among the natives of Nicaragua as
the devils trap" It is composed
of black, flexible, leafess branches,
which secrete a viscous fluid and
which are provided with numerous
tiny hooks.

Less That Half Heard SpOoner.

Manitowoc, Wis, Oct. IA
Senator John G. Spooner was in
troduced to an audience of 1900
that filed to it's capacity the
Turner hall, by Emil Baensch.
who six years ago as lieutenant
governor, gave him the commits
sion which entitled him to wear
the ermine of a United States
senator. Governor Baensh re-
ferred to this circumstance as
one of the proudest of his life.
Not more than half of those
who desired to hear Senator
Spooner were able to get admis-
sion to the hall, and the streets
in the neighborhood were lined
with disappointed people. The
stage was tastefully decorated
with flags and palms, and upon
it were many prominent citizens
of Manitowoc and adjoining
counties.
Introducing Senator Spooner,
Mr.. Baensch spoke of the neces.
sity for a united party in the pre-.
sent campaign that they might
give Wisconsin to President
Roosevelt in 1904. He said the
audience before him was the
forerunner Of a great majority
for the Republican party in No.
vember. He referred to the con-
dition of Senator Spooner's voice
and bespoke for him close atten.
tion and silence. In conclusion
he said:
To a Wisconsin audience it is
unnecessary to introduce our
honored guest. His coming is
always hailed with pleasure: his
presence brings forth enthus.
iasm and increased fidelity to
party, and his going leaves be-
hind broadening in political
thought, a more elevated tone of |
discussion, and a harmonious |
political action.

ANIMATED HONEY POTS.
New Mexican Ants Store Food In
Members Of Their Community.

New Mexican Ants Store Food |,
Members Of Their Community.
The utilization of members Of
their own community for purposes
OF food storage is trait of a spe-
cies Of ant which abounds in Texas
and New Mexico. These ants are
small and red and live in round
mounds, often covering an area
thirty feet across. They have been
burdened by the name Myrmecoeys-
tus mexicanus, but to the laity they
are simply honey ants, since honey
is their sole diet.
Foraging among the trees in the
neighborhood, the little workers ex-
tract a sweet, siruplike fluid closely
resembling honey. Returning home
with bodies heavily laden, they Sc
lect the largest individuals of the
community and force into their
crops the honey to be stored, thus
converting them into animated hon
ey pots.
Fortunately for the ants, nature
has provided their bodies with seq
mental plates which can and do
spread apart as the need arises. In
this instance the need is great, for
with continued supplies the crop. of
the living bottle becomes so distend-
ed that it fills the abdomen and
gives the ant the appearance of
great bubble or an amber cherry
with peculiar looking stem, other
wise head, thoxax and legs. ~
In this condition they are prac-
tically helpless, but they are care
fully attended by their companions,
who build for their use dark cham
Der. There they live, with feet
clinging to the ceiling and crop
hanging down. There, to, the work
ers go when hunger asserts itself
and natures Resources fail them,
taking from the lips of the living
bottle the tiny globules forced up
by the muscles of the abdomen.
The people of New Mexico serve
these honey bearers as dainty NOR
sci for dessert. The head and thorax
are removed, and the crops are eat
en- like grapes. The liquid is also
pressed out of the small bodies and
used as the principal ingredient of
the exhilarating drink somewhat re-
sembling mead. 1t is supposed to
have wonderful healing properties.

Boy Who Lost His CIothee

Ivy WIN Lust tbs NtOtneSs
He was funny little boy,
Who often lost his clothes
And, when he had his coat and tie.
Could seldom find his hose
And this was what we thought SO queer:
1t gave us lots Of fun;
He never lost the things himself,
AS you'd have thought he'd done.
No! Some one always took the cap
He laid upon a chair
And some one 'stole" the very shoes
He wanted most to wear
He'd leave his rubbers in the hall
(This happened every day.,
And when he turned his head again
They'd vanished quite away.
But one fine night he went to Sleep
The way we always do
And dreamed a dream that made him
think
OF learning tactics new.
He dreamed that. playing hide and seek,
He climbed upon a shelf,
And when twas time to run for free
He found he'd lost himself
You often lose your head. my SON."
Said papa when he told
The story sad at breakfast time
CThe while his milk grew cold).
But still to really lose yourself
Would surely trying be,
And how you'd find yourself again
I really do not see!''
And so 1t really seemed as II
He'd better make a change,
For fear the dream should happen true"
With circumstances strange,
And now he seldom loses things,
Instead Of every day, tis
And when he lays his garments down
They never fly away. a.

The Man and Ills Guns.

Once upon a time a man made a
large collection of firearms of all
times and nations and was very
proud of his curios. He showed
them to his friends, expatiated on
their several merits and always as
sured his visitors that there was no
danger in handling them, for they
could not go off, because they were
not loaded.
The fame of his collection reach
ed the ears of an enterprising bur-
glar, who made daring entry of his
premises in the dead of night and
despoiled him of his entire collec-
ton.
Moral.-The fact of firearms be-
ing unloaded is not guarantee that
they will not 60 off. = New York

FOR the LITTLE ONES,
Spiders That Travel In Airships They
Make Themselves.

Spiders That Travel In Airshps They
Make Themselves.
In Texas there is a queer sort of
spider that lives at his ease all sum-
mer long and in the month of De-
cember starts off in a ship of his
own fashioning.
When he is tired Of the country
and ready to emigrate, he fixes him
self on some extreme point of the
branch of a tree or weed or corn
tassel, then carefully spins out a
lock of white gossamer 5 or 6 inches
long and 3 inches wide in the mid
die, holding it all the while in the
gentle breeze by a thread two or
three inches long, which detains the
balloon until it is finished.
He then spins out at the bow two
lines thirty or forty feet in length
and at the stern another twenty or
thirty feet, then suddenly cuts the
cable and sails away on an inclined
plane.
In every bundle or balloon there
are mother and half a dozen or
more young ones, and thus the spe-
cies is scattered over the country.
These tiny aeronauts choose for
their starting a clear day, with gen.
tie wind from the south. At about
l o'clock in the afternoon they may
be seen sailing with the wind. At
about 4 o'clock the little balloons
begin to descend. Lower and lower
they fall until they strike some tall
weed or grass, and sat once the air
ship is anchored. The passengers
quickly leap out, spinning threads
as they fall, and in a short time they
are safely fastened in new home.
1t is a beautiful sight when the
clear, blue Texas skies are tangled
over with these shining threads.

JUDGES AND PREACHERS ARE FOLKS.
The News and Observers Position on Two
Questions Commended.

To the Editor: Your paper is to be
commended for the stand it has taken on
the liquor question and believe that
your plan will meet with such approval
by the people generally, that were the
Legislature to adopt it and make 1t law,
would largely solve the question.
You are to be commended for the de-
cided and unequivocal expressions In
your editorials on the opinion OF Attor-
ney General Gilmer in the matter of tax
ing the salaries of the judges under the
income tax law. The Almighty is no re-
specter of persons and the nearer we can
get mans law to conform to the divine
laws the nearer will mans laws be to
perfection. McKelway, of the Presbyte-
rian Standard, says preachers are folks;
you have said judges are folks and you
are both right. Neither are under the
law entitled to be more than fellow
citizens. Yours truly,

FEEDING FARM ANIMALS.
A Valuable Book by Prof Burkett, of the A.
and n. College.

A very valuable little book on the
Feeding of Farm Animals" by Dr.
Charles William Burkett, Professor of
Agriculture in the A. and NJ. College,
has just issued from the press of Ed
wards & Broughton. We are glad to see
the book, not only for the very great
amount of useful information it gives, but
also because it sends forth from the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College, such
a clear note of progress, enthusiasm and
thought. Prof Burkett is doing Won
derful work for the college. He has
literally revolutionized it's instruction in
agriculture, making that department one
of the most popular, progressive and
wide awake in the college.
The purpose of the book is to present
in a logical manner the more important
factors that must be considered in the
successful feeding Of farm animals The
book discusses the truths of science in
simple language, and only such technical
terms are used as are absolutely neces-
sary; where used they are thoroughly eX-
planned so that any reader can clearly
understand. The opening chapters con-
slider the relation of soils, plants md
animals to each other; the soil feeds the
plant, the plant the animal, and the
animal the soil.
The theme of the book is the rational
feeding of the plant, in all its phases, to
the animal. The Garious terms in feed
ing are explained, the compromising of
rations demonstrated. The reader is
shown how to make up rations for each
class of farm animals, SO that all the
digestible nutrients will be provided.
Good feeding not only produces the
greatest quantity of milk or beef, but
does this at the least cost. We often
feed expensive materials to farm AMI
mails, when cheaper food would do as well.
and the feeding values of various
feeding stuffs should be considered
in making ratons. The book shows
the comparative feeding value of
all hays and godders. For instance, when
timothy hay is worth $40 per ton the
feeder can easily estimate the feeding
worth of all other classes of food.
The book is practical and can be east
ly understood Among the interesting
question discussed are the following:
How the plant builds tissue for the use
of animals; what digestion means and
how it takes place; the effect of steam
ing, cooking and other preparation Of
feeding stuffs for farm animals; compo
sition of plants and animals and the rela-
4tion to each other: why we balance ra-
! tions and how it is done; the purpose of
food the making of rations for each
class of live stock; the feeding of young
animals: what we must consider in pur-
chasing feeding stuffs; considerations in
home production of farm crops; the soil
and ensilage; soiling crops; feeding
breeding animals: feeding stuffs in rela-
ton to manure produced; the feeding of
poultry, etc. The book is published for
use by Dr. Burkett's students in agri-
culture, but it may be obtained by 9TH
ers; and it will be of great value to all
who have to feed animals.

backbones and weak backs Is good for
laziness which is one of your discoveries
what ails us. And so / am hating be-
tween two pinions whether it is the pota-
toes or the wurms.
Mr.. Stiles: Sur: I look up with rev.
renee to man on the geologic survey that
has done the Southern States the honor
to cast glance at our people and dis
cover their 'fictions. But. Sur, howsom-
ever, l must confess / am between the
Devil and the deep sea- whether it is
the billed potatoes, or the cracked corn,
or the splene, or the wurms. I am
somewhat mixed. Indede I hev seed in
the public prints, that some persons have
a craving for clay or yearth, and that
clay or yearth was not so good for their
insides. And one of the greatest men
of this country, who onst went to see
the Pyramids in Egypt where Moses was,
he said in his North Carolina Book that
it was the frying pan. Well I knowd
that man we'll. He was honest man.
He was a brave man. He was CRATE
man. He measured the tops of the highest
mountains. And he laid it on the frying
pan.
Mr. Stiles: Sur: You are a honored
memDGr OF Jne geologic survey, ana you
mought be right. do not deny it, And
you are a CRATE discover, and you have
sed they are a peculiar and lazy peo-
ple They do not worry to work any more
than necessary. They have no 'casion to
move fast. Some folks may claim that
they are lazy that it's the wurm from
genration to genration that makes m
slow and easy. I do not deny it. But
1 have watched thin Crackers sometimes
when they was pretty peart. When they
was following ole Stonewall Jackson
when the old man didn't stop and take
time to trim his beard and looked grimly
enough. They stepped pretty lively. In
those days they was nominated Jackson's
Foot Cavalry And it 'peared they had
right smart back bone. Bless me, them
North Carolina Crackers in them days
could git UP and git, and shake them
selves amazin' considerin they was so
afflicted with wurms.
Mr.. Stiles: Sur: i am happy in your
acquaintance. Should you ever want to
study the subject at short range, come
to the Sand Hills and discover the wurms
and rite your name on the role of fame,
for frum genration to genration, we are
an afflicted people. And we shall rise
I'D from our graves an bless you.
