GRAIN DEALER INDICTED.
Alleged Attempted Bribery of Mime |
apoiS Alderman.

Minneapolis, Oct. 15.-George F.
Moulton, a grain dealer and a pT0mi-
nent member of the chamber of COM
merce, was arraigned during the aft
ernoon on the charge Of offering a
bride of $500 to Alderman Fred M.
Powers of the Eighth ward.
He was allowed week in which to
plead or demur to the indictment and
was released on $500 bail.
The Indictment is the outgrowth Of
the campaign for the election OF city
engineer by the city council last Jan
uary. Mr. Moulton was supporter
of E. II. Dutton, the assistant, and an
opponent of George W. Sublette, the
engineer.
The indictment alleges that on Jan.
2 MIR Moulton approached the alder
man from the Eighth ward and offered
him $500 to vote against Mr.. Sublette,
who was defeated.

ner's garb. Among the Wessex peas
ants, whose vocabulary, if limited, is
singularly effective, it bears a racier
meaning. Thus they designate par
ticular class of travelling folk who
roam the country from place to place
as a sailor roams the sea. The name
might well be applied to the whole no
mad tribe-tinkers, hawkers, gypsies,
itinerant showmen and the like-but
for some reason or other it is confined
to the tramp proper, the seedy. out al
elbows individual who is to be seen
siouching along the highroad or beg
ging from door to door in the villages.
Sometimes he is alone; more often a
friend of his own degree keeps him
company; occasionally depressed look
ing wife and ragged children struggle
at his heels. He tolls not, neither does
he spin; he pays no rent as an ag-
grieyed householder remarked to the
present writer, and he seldom puts into
port for longer than night at time
unless compelled by circumstances be-
yond his control, when he is lodged in
a spacious mansion, is boarded gratis
and is provided with the job which
he processes to be always anxiously
seeking and seldom manages to find.
AS a rule he sleeps "rough"-in the
open, that is-or in any convenient
shed, except when the state Of his
finances permits him the luxury of the
tramps' lodging house., which, on the
evidence Of a country policeman, is
'the noisiest, drunkenest''-he had al
most said ''the jolliest'-place in the
town.-London Spectator.

a mile en- level OF nearly level ground.
81 will guarantee to take any first
class COW pony and run down any deer
that ever lived inside of two miles, pro-
vided the ground be level and the deer
has no more than twenty-five or thirty
yards start. I often have seen COW
boys run down and rope deer within
half mile. This. of course, can only
be done when you are riding up the
wind and surprise q bunch of deer or
antelope feeding or lying down in
depression where they do not see or
scent you till you are almost Oh them.
Over rough or hilly country your
horse wouldn't be in it with deer.
"Tne action Of a deer under full speed
reminds me Of nothing so much as a
face Of smooth water. They don't gal
lop; they simply bound, and that is
where they lose speed over level
ground. But l have seen deer bound
straight up the side Of mountain and
go fully as fast as if on the level and
no living animal can catch them at the
uphill game.
"Deer have tremendous vitality. I
have never seen one drop instantly
when shot. They will make jump or
two even when shot through the heart:
"Your true deer hunter will never
shoot a deer running from him, as the
bullet will invariably spoil the hams
and hind quarters. Most of the west
ern deer hunters can turn a deer when
he is running full speed from him with
shrill whistle. The deer almost al
ways will turn to see what that sound
means, only for fraction of a second,
perhaps, but that is the hunters oppor-
tunity, and Mr.. Deer generally gets it
in the neck about that ime."-New

THE KING COBRA.
1t Is Considered the Most Dangerous
OF All the Snake Family.

1t Is Considered the Most Dangerous
OF All the Snake Family.
Snakes, venomous snakes, may be di-
vided into two classes, the cobras and
the viperoids. The cobras, inhabitants
Of distant India, form a class apart.
To the viperoids belong all other ven
omous species, including our own splen-
did RATHER, the moccaSin, the fer de
lance of the West Indies and the dead
ly bushmaster of Venezuela and the
Guianas
Dramatically opposite, though equal
~ fatal, are the effects Of the cobra
and the viperoid poison. Dramatically
opposite, also, are the two methods OF
attack. The cobra at times is aggres-
sive the king cobra being said even to
pursue man. Silent, without the least
warning and from place where you
| would least suspect, the round head
| darts out of a thicket, a sharp pain
| causes you to exclaim, and the frightful
fangs of the snake are buried in your
flesh. Like the grip Of bulldog they
hold fast, while from five to ten feet Of
| animated cable come stretching out Of
the thicket to coil leisurely beneath the
| dread head.
| For this eternal hold on the victim
there is a natural reason. The fangs Of
the ten foot cobra are but a third of an
inch long. 1t is impossible, therefore,
| to squirt the venom deep in single
stroke. In order to give the venom
time to absorb the snake must retain
| its hold. The fatal poison contains
about 95 per cent of nerve destroying
and about per cent of blood destroy
| ing elements. Within five minutes the
pain leaves the wound, and even the
shock of the attack begins to wear off.
| There is little suffering, nor will there
be to the relentless end. Only if by
chance the bite is one from small
snake or if fresh supply of antitoxin
! happens to be at hand is there a chance
for your life. If one RECEIVERS from the
immediate effects within week one is
as healthy as ever. While the poison Of
the cobra often kills within an hour,
there have been cases where the
"strike" Of rattlesnake and bush
master have caused death within ten
minutes. Naturalists accept, however,
that the king cobra, owing to its great
! size and the consequent quantity and
quality of poison emitted, is the most
dangerous of all the snakes. - Nc

Literary Idol.
One evening in the beginnin. OF June
I was taken to the residence of .)umas,
on the Boulevard Malesherbes, by an
intimate friend of the great novelist.
As one thinks Of lion, with his shay
gy name full Of the Jungle burs Of ad-
venture. so 1 can see the author or
"Monte-C Christie" as he appeared on that
memorable evening. Standing about
were women friends, actresses, writers,
poets, attracted by a world of romance
symbolized in the figure seated in the
middle of the salon. l was instantly
impressed with two things-the fres-
Goes on the walls and the attitude OF
the host. He sat like a silent oracle,
surrounded by a crowd OF female ad-
mirers, the whole company set Off by
panels representing life sized figures
from Goethe's great drama-Faust
Meph:s opheles. Marguerite. There were
no other pictures in the room. The In
f1uence of these figures, the attitude OF
Dumas and his worshipers, coneentrat-
ed the mind Oh the quintessential ele-
ment of romance Half Indifferent he
sat, as some handsome young woman
would stroke his head, while another
would place her hand on his shoulder,
as they might have done with an old
lion long tanned and without teeth.
There was nothing to distract the mind
from the harmony of idea and person
ality-the company Of women might
have been part of the frescoes and
Dumas the creator Of Faust instead
Of "Monte-Christo.' There was an en-
chanted element about the people and
the room.
The whole company conversed among
themselves, standing as if they were
at court, while the host sat still and
mused l was held by the mystery,
the fascination Of the romantic atmos-
phere, the peculiar spell Of the huge
mass that filled the fauteuil like an
idol of adamant. For there was some
thing Of the idol about the man.
