Of his game was what he personally
saw during few lively days each
year. Today, things are different. At
least one-third, and I hope one-half,
of our shooting men are more nat
uralists than sportsmen Of the old
school. They have read more and
closer because there has been more
sound reading open to them, and that
reading, as 1t should, has taught
many useful things.
Perhaps it merely aroused the GU
riosity of the readers, but in any
event it accomplish ed deal of good
by encouraging folk to keep their eyes
open and carefully note the hitherto
neglected little things of it's day

catch 'tother chap lying, or tripping,
so when the man half educated in
craftsmanship found new fact in
book he was skeptical, yet watchful,
because it would be feather in his
cap to prove that book incorrect.
The fact in question may have been
about snipe; and he, a veteran Of
that field, had killed thousands Of
snipe, yet never saw such a thing as
the book described. The next time
afield he would be loaded for snipe,
and, incidentally, for writer's. That
time be was observant. Because he
was looking for small thing, his
eyes were wide open, and most likely
he saw that very thing, and possibly
a few others. Instead of roasting the
book, he reread it in quest of other
small matters. He was now fairly
started upon the true trail, for he

THE UNPOSSESSEp.

My Hearts Desire hath led me
Through barren lands and vain,
And bitter bread she fed me,
And babe me drink of pain.
Ah, me, climbed weary way
To nights of her disdain.
Yet would | give the years I live
To walk the path again.
The Hearts Possessed beside me
Leads me a level way;
There may no i'll betide me,
No thirst or famine stay.
She hath no wish but wish of mine,
No joy save to obey.
And at my side her form must bide
Until my dying day.
My Hearts Possessed hath stilled me
From all unrest malign;
Yea, ceased the hope that thrilled
me
With too keen pain and fine.
Yet, 0 my Heart, my Hearts Desire,
My ungained dream divine,
That never turned the while I yearn-
Nor closed her hands in mine!

The London Gazette is the oldest
and least read of any English newspa-
per. 1t is at once the biggest and the
least of all our papers, for it is the
only paper in the land which changes
its size from one page to a hundred,
according to the pressure Of the news.
It is the only newspaper whose word
is law and whose authority is accept
ed in the witness box. It can make
and unmake bankrupts.
1t is the only paper in which GER

sons cannot advertise for love or
money. 1t yields a profit of 100000
a year.
Time was when the editorship Of
the Gazette was one Of the spoils of
office, worth $4,000 year. 1t was the
recognized reward Of party services
in the press.
Under the old regime the Gazette

Two Slain in Family Row.

Mrs. Daniel Rohrer was shot and kill
ed at Neenah by her brother-in-law, Da-
vid Rohrer, who afterward committed
suicide. The man was q cattle dealer
and wealthy. The double killing was the
result of quarrel between the Rohrer
brothers over property. A settlement
had been effected, but this proved unsatis-
factory. 1t is said that David blamed
Daniels wife for this condition of af-
fairs. Daniel and his wife were moving
some goods out of the house and Mrs
Rohrer was just emerging from the door
with q bundle of clothes when her broth
er-in-law shot her three times in the
back. She had scarcely fallen when the
murderer turned the weapon against

THE WAYS OF SNIPE.
Modern Hunter More of Naturalist
Than His Forefather.

Those who have followed and stud
led the long billed mystery of The
marshes know that, as rule, the bird
rises some yards from the intruder's
boot, attains top speed with a few
sounding wing strokes and speeds
away in a peculiar zigzag or twisting
flight, which may be continued for
few or many yards before the bird
settles to it's swift but steadier ad-
vance. Every experienced snipe
shooter remembers how battling was
that flight during his apprenticeship
to the gun, and how often the artful
dodger in feathers saved his life by
his apparent craft. Fifty years ago,
the great majority Of even accom-
plished sportsmen merely were de-
stroyers. Excellent gentlemen, &C.
cording to their lights, they were
prone to measure their enjoyment by
the size of their piles of slain, and
precious few of them knew ar cared
much about game except during the
actual shooting season.
Reliable books about birds, now so
numerous, then were exceeding few,
so about all the average man knew

Reed Birds-E.oW to Cook EN-.

Reed birds are skinned and cooked
whole, but rarely cleaned. The most
approved way of cooking them is to
put three or four on a skewer and
broil; or wrap them one by one in
salt pork or bacon-put on a skewer
and roast seven or eight minutes in
a hot oven and serve on slices of fried
hominy, with watercress on nice,
white chicory. Sometimes they are
cleaned and stuffed with a little sweet
potato before wrapping in bacon and
broiling. In nearly all the larger
cities the most Of the reed birds
found in the markets are sparrows.
When these have been fed on grain it
takes a connoisseur in game to dis
tinguish the Observation-Disclosures
Star.

Monticello State Bank Reopens.

The Montello State Bank has opened
it's doors and resumed business, all de-
fcits caused by Joseph e. Leimers al

ENEMY TO BOTH RACES
WHITE OR BLACK WHO NEEDLESS
LY sTIRs Up STRIFE.
Booker II. Washington Urges Har-
mony i'm Speech and Deed, self-Con-
troll, Patience and Courage.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 13.-Booker T.
Washington tonight addressed an i'm
mense audience at the Peoples Tabernacle,
the occasion being the thirty-sixth anni-
versary of the First CONGREGATIONAL
Church, colored. Mr.. Washington spoke
in part as follows:
Every decent white man and negro in
the South is glad that the time will soon
be at an end when negro will be popular
with his people in proportion as he curses
the white man; or when a white man can
be promoted to positions of trust and
honor, in proportion he has been sue
cessful in unfairly condemning the negro.
'The time has come here in the South
when l believe the very highest type of
Southern white men and women are going
more and more to take hand in the eIe-
walton of the blacks at their DOORS
Whites and blacks are to reside together
in this country permanently and we should
lose no opportunity to cultivate i'm every
manly way the greatest harmony between
the races. Whoever North or South
black or white. stirs up strife needless
ly, by word or deed Is an enemy to both
races and to his country.
Il appreciate from the bottom of my
heart the tremendous and trying strain
that is now upon us. and how difficult il is
for US to make progress under such circum-
stances: but / believe the momentous per-
iod Trough which we are now passing
will draw to our support the good will, the
sympathy and helpful cooperation of
large numbers OF white men In the South
as well as in the North, If we only ex-
ercise due patience, self-control and cour-
age"

This opinion was given by Associate Jus
tice David j. Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, who is in Milwaukee on
private business. "Of course" explained
Judge Brewer. there may be extenuatng
circumstances which would vary the de-
gree of the crime. but the principal partic-
ipants in the crime can be held by any
court in the land for murder in the same
degree as if the crime was committed by
an individual There is going to be a re-
action against the atrocious crimes with
which the papers have been filled. The fact
that the people are now interesting them
selves in the discussion of this problem
makes manifest the fact that there is a
tendency toward change. / expect that il
will come soon. ! cannot say what form IL
will take, but there will be uprising of
popular feeling against lynchings which
will result in a remedy"

negro employees, trouble might occur. In or
der to avoid any sach complications Mr.
Wallace left sixty of his negroes at the last
place he showed. with instructions to re-
port at the next stop after Linton.
The Governor took the precautions to have

readiness all day yesterday to proceed to
Linton at a moments notice. He kept his
arrangements secret, however, and when he
was asked last evening if the company had
been under arms all day in case of an emer-

Guilty.
Mrs. winsfred Sleep. of Denver, who was
in charge OF st. Marks hospital tent, seeing
the catastrophe at the big tent. teIephoned
to the electric light company TO shut or
the current. This prevented any damage
from the live wires that had fallen with
the tent poles.
AS soon as most OF the imprisoned dele
gates had been extricated from the folds
of the tent, they congregated in the open
air and held an impromptu praise service.
The session was in full progress I'm the
tent when signs of rain and some wind
crept under the roof OF the tent. whose
sides were rolled up to admit air. Suddenly
squall lifted UP the big canvas as n Il
were balloon and the immense stretch of
cloth bellied like sail in a gale The guy
ropes and the main poles were pulled from
their places and the Gust of wind momen-
tariy ceasing, the tent roof ,vnapsed. Even
as the tent was in ascent many worshipers
became panic-stricken- The screams set up
by hundreds of women were hushed by the
fall of the canvas But before the collapse
ended Mr.. Ramsey had had time 10 spring
on chair and to call loudly on the men to
hold up the canvas and to catch the poles
as they fell.
Hundreds of men sprang to their feet al
most before Mr. Ramsey called, and those
who were not tripped by the entangling
canvas caught the poles and baked the
chute. More than a thousand persons who
had sat near the walls OF the tent escaped
the tolls Of the tent and Immediately
formed themselves into a rescue corps.
Those who had tainted and those who suf-
fered from Injuries were quickly removed
to the hospital tent.
