Animal Instinct II Winter.

St. Nicholas.
With many forms Of life the readi-
ness for winter is not to secure place
to protect them from cold or even from
freezing, bat the security against sud-
den changes Of conditions and Of tenn
perature. Il is protection in some
cases similar to that OF plants on the
lawn that we're covered WITH straw by
the gardener when he made ready Tor
winter. In some places OF the kind,
for Instance in the squirrels nest, there
is undoubtedly real animal warmth
and coziness. Fish seek the deepest
parts OF pools, where the temperature
OF the water is very near freezing, and
where it remains very near this point
until spring.

Chaska, Minn., Dec. 9-One of the
most atrocious murders in the history
of this section was committed Friday
afternoon at point six miles west OF
Chaska, on the Chaska Cologne road.
A little boy on that day discovered
that Jacob P. Patzke. a German far
mer aged about thirty-three, had
kicked his wife to death. He informed
his father, but nothing was done to ap-
praise the officers of the horrible az
fair until Saturday morning. When
the sheriff and other county officials
visited the Patzke home on that day
it was found that after killing his wife
Patzke had gone to the barn and
hanged himself. The corone: Eeldsan
inquest and the jury returned a ver-
dict of murder and s"ic:de. The
bodies of the husband ana wife were
buried in Chaslxa yesterday.
Murder Was Most Brutal.
The murder of the woman was
most brutal in character. She hal

feature had been obliterated and her

literally reduced to pulp. Her body.

at about $4,000. They had no children
and the estate will go to a brother of

listened to the reading of the presi-
dents annual message to congress.
The special session robbed the day Of
many interesting features incident to
a new congress. The house having or
ganized four weeks ago, the ceremony
of opening yesterday comprised mere

More than an hour and half we're
consumed in the reading of the pres
ident's message. at the conclusion of
which there was general applause on
the Republican side of the chamber.
A considerable amount of routine mat
ters necessary to facilitate the work
of committees was transacted prior to
the reception Of the message. The
house sdjou,ned at $3.50 out of respect
to Henry Gmrll tpa.), member who
died Saturday.
