SHOT AT GRAVES
WITH intent TO KILL
Guy Sister Threatened to Kill His
Neighbor, Ran in the House,
Secured a Revolver and
Shot at Him.
Bullet Struck Corner of House, Glanced Off and
Did Not Strike Intended Victim---ouarreIed
Over Boy in Garden

Guy Lister tried to xiii his ncighbor,
A. L. Graves, At 1870 o'clock Wednesday
morning, but the bullet went wild and
Graves is among the living still.
The parties to the affair reside in
the "Patchg north Of the b. & Q. de.
pot. Graves has resided there for years.
He keeps several cows, does the milking
himself and sells the milk to the eiti-
zens Of the city. Graves also has a
garden and raises truck for his family
and to sell.
Wednesday morning he milked the
cows as usual and. a he was returning
to the house with the milk. he saw his
little son playing in the garden. He also
heard Lister order the boy out Of the
garden in rather a rough manner. Graves
did not ike his demeanor toward the
pride Of his old age. and he At ONCE en-
gagged in the controversy by telling Lis
ter that he. Graves, had lived there four
years and had charge Of that garden all
those years. He was decidedly Of the
opinion that his own child could play in
his garden. and that it was none Of the
neighbors' business. He informed Lis
ter a. much in so many words.
Lister resented Graves remarks and
began to curse him and call him vile
names. Graves said he allowed no man
to call him vile names. and he picked
M something to throw at Lister, or
rather TO strike linn with. Lister ut.
tered an oath and a threat that he would

Graves. He dashed inside, grabbed up
revolver. according to the story Graves
tells. and came out hurriedly and shot
at Graves. The ball struck the corner
Of the house. glanced of and did noi
strike his intended victim. Graves think
the corner Of the house was the only
thing that saved him, perhaps, fron
mortal wound.
The incident seems to have iright"ne
Lister and ii i believed he has taken Z"

Bribery In Elections.

Bribery in elections is an ancient II
not an honorable custom. Thisis shown
in the case of Shrewsbury, England.
An extract from Parry's "Parliaments
and Councils Of England" of case Of
bribery, with Its punishment, in 1871
shows how long the pernicious custom
has been in practice: Thomas Long, "a
very simple man and unfit to serve, Is
questioned how he came to be elected.
He confesses that he gave the mayor
of Westbury and another "A for his
place. They are ordered to repay this
sum, and fine of f20 is to be assessed
on the corporation and inhabitants of
Westbury for their scandalous at
tempt" One can imagine the indigna-
ton of those inhabitants of Shrews-
bury who received no bribe having to
pay fine for those who did.

spain,s Migratory sheep.

There are about 100000 migratory
sheep in Spain, which each year travel
as much as 200 miles from the plains to
the mountains. They are known as
transhumantes, and their march, rest
ing places and behavior nre governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. AT certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep, which have the right to
Craze on all open and common land on
the way. For this purpose road nine
ty yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead their flocks, which follow
after and around. The focks are ac-
companied by provision mules and by
large dogs to guard against wolves.
The merino sheep travel 400 miles to
the mountains. and the total time spent
on the migration there and back is
fourteen weeks.

The whales Appetite,

A whales appetite is phenomenal.
His chief diet consists of jellyfish. He
has simply to open his mouth and pad
die along leisurely in order to take In
jellyfish by the wagon load. Such Is
the method adopted by the whalebone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con-
trary, captures huge squids weighing
often several tons. Like his brother
the whalebone whale, he must be con.
stantly on the lookout for food; other
wise he would starve. AS many as
fourteen seals have been taken from
thirty foot killer" Other fishes of
enormous appetites are not uncommon.
The bluefish for example, thrives on
Bardines and other small fish. Assum-
ing that one bluefish eats ten small fish
day, it has been figured that it re-
quires 10,00O,O00,00O sardines to feed
the 1,00O000,OOO bluefish on our coasts
every summer. Most curious Of all
eaters is the hydra-a strange creature
that can be turned inside out without
impairing its appetite or it's power to
eat.-Scientific American.

Paths In Africa,

II may be a surprise to the uDen-
lishtened to learn that probably no ex.
plorer, in forcing his passage through
Africa, has ever for more than few
days at a time been off some beaten
track. Every village Is connected with
some other village, every tribe with the
next tribe, every state with its neigh
Dor and therefore with all the rest.
The explorers business is simply to
select from this network of tracks,
keep general direction and hold on
his way. They are veritable foot
paths, never over q foot in breadth,
beaten hard and netted beneath the
level of the forest bed of centuries Of
native traffic.
Like the roads Of the old Romans,
these footpaths run straight on through
everything, ridge and mountain and
valley, never shying at obstacles, nor
anywhere turning aside to breathe.
Yet within this general straightfor-
wardness are singular eccentricity
and an indirectness of detail. And
the reason Is not far to seek. If stone
is encountered, no native will ever
think Of removing 1t; he simply walks
around it. 1t would never occur to hint
that that stone was a displaceable OBJ
ject and that for the general veal he
might displace it.

Geographical Knowledge In 14e2.

But very little was known in regard

than advanced.
1t was the popular belief in the time
OF Columbus that the world was fat,
though many contemporary scholars
thought differently. The great civlli-

grouped around the Mediterranean sea,
although England was a considerable
power and the Scandinavians were a
great maritime people. But Europeans
at that time knew but little Of Asia
and but little of Africa, and America
