AN ANCIENT MAMMAL.
A Duck Billed Dinosaur Among Specimens at

There are many objects on exhibition at the
American Museum OF Natural History which are

are not many there or elsewhere older than the

Of the Age of Reptiles before the age OF Mammals

ago There were then animals of the ordinary
quadruped type excepting few small and scarce
ones and various kinds of reptiles took the place
held by large animals

its place this exhibit will be looked upon as

DEAF AND DUMB BOYS BEAT UP GAME.

The deer hunters at ROmney- W Va, have the
assistance Of a curious band Of brush beaters-the
boy inmates OF the state Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb. which is located in the quiet old south
Branch village. Saturday when the boys have
half holiday is the hunting day. and the boys are
even more eager for the hunt than the men behind
the guns Some ore who can talk on his fingers
tells them the direction location OF the hunt for
the day. The boys know every foot OF the noun
tains for miles around. and extended explanations
are unnecessary.
A band Of twenty twenty-five then troop or
into the woods moving quietly possible and
walking in Indian file. The hunters follow more
slowly and take Up their stands at the several
deer runs
When the boys have gone "A mile into the
woods they stretch out in long line, hundred
yards apart. As they are unable to yell TO each
other every boy carries stick the end OF
which his handkerchief is tied. IN this way they
march back through the woods. making much
noise as possible in order drive all the game be-
fore them
After the hunt it's success or failure is always
reflected in their faces If deer has been shot
they are most happy They dance around the VIC

the boldness which always characterized his po-
litical acts as well as his speech:

wiches and other refreshments from tenn
porary kitchens. A little later, the Diver forces
were alarmed by the slowness with which the
Foley men registered their votes, thus keeping
the Diver voters at the end of the line, ana
exposed to a drizzling rain which slowly but
surely drove them away to nelshborlng saloons
Their places would then be filled with fresh dele
cations of Sullivan-F Foley supporters, who were
so warmed that they did not seem to mind the
cold.
Accordingly Diver sent out and bought about
four hundred umbrellas, which he ordered de-
livered TO Diver men. This was the beginning
of his fall and showed how little he realized the
situation. No sooner was a bundle of umbrellas
handed out to the shivering Diver men, than
the forces of the enemy swooped down TO wrest
them away. The battle waged hercely, untlI
all that was left of the umbrellas was a mass or
rags. kindlings and twisted wires strewn about
the streets When Diver was informed of the
outcome of his philanthropy, he said;
How can I beat Foley when he keeps the
crowd wet inside and OUT?
