DUM.DUM BULLETS ARE
FLIRTING THROUGH MAINE WOODS

Hunting without a guide means that
the hunter will return to the city
empty handed, unless favored by a
queer freak of fortune. Moose hunting
calls for much preparation and lot
of care. Even the best guides some
times fail. and an amateur from the
city would have little chance where
these men are not always sure of their
end
Of late years the 80 and the 1903 cali
Der rife has made itself favorite in
the woods. The soft nosed bullet is
deadly and does not carry far enough
to make the sport fatal, as is so often
the case where the larger caliber rifle
is used. A repeating rifle is absolutely
necessary. few of the old-timers pinnine
their faith on the single-shot rifles that
were SO popular few years ago.

The makers Retort.

In the early days Of the White House,
when Dolly Madison vas Its presiding
genius, the conversation was lively, and
the bonmot, the repartee and even the
retort gave Zest to the talk. On one oc-
casion a Quaker from Philadelphia who
was dining with the president paid
back the raillery of the gay hostess in
her W coin. AS Mrs. Madison, look

The Anthem.

The rustic choir's greatest show was
always made in the anthem, in which
some pumpkin had generally a solo to
exhibit his 'lusty voice 1t was a
splendid musical display-of its kind.
People came from a long distance to
hear it anu felt so satiated that they
left without the sermon. No wonder
Shakespeare made Sir John Falstaf
lose his voice with "hallooing and sing
ing OF anthems To be sure, he was
guilty of an an"chronism. for there
were no anthems in the fat knights
time, but 1t may reasonably be sup
posed that he had become so impressed
with this part of the service in his own
day that he dropped into the nod which
even Homer is privileged occasionally
to enjoy.
The Jack Tar who explained a han
them TO his mate on the simple prin-
ciples of verbal elongation was not so
far out after all. IF l was 10 say to
you" he began. Ere. Bill. give me
that handspike,' that wouldn't be a
hanthem, but if 1 was to say to You.
Bill, Bill, Bill, give, give, give me, sive
me that, that, that handspike, spika,

the old village choirs tear and toss
their anthem texts. - CornhiIl Maya

German engineer in the Lebanon placed
an order with a Paris firm for some

Hudson Hudsonite: We add as a
supplement in this weeks issue of
the Hudsonite a little sketch of South
Dakota and a few Of the things to be
found in u grand state. We also
wish to call your attention to the
corn palace and exposition to be held
at Mitchell, Sept. % to Oct. !. We
used to 20 to Sioux City to see corn
palaces. now why not go to the future
capital Of South Dakota and see a
better snow than Sioux City ever
had.
Evidently the editor of the above
paper does not look at the distribu-
ton of that corn palace supplement
so t~iercely as his contemporary in the
same town. Several weeks ago the
Tribune editor Of Hudson got exceed
ingly wrathy because he was asked
to issue the supplements and pro-
ceeded to pour it into the advertising
committee of the corn palace. Brer.
Jameson may look at it that it is a
burden to send out the supplements
free Of charge, but the request cer-
tainly did not call for q half column
roast, in which he more or less adver-
tised the corn palace.

A Book.

Oliver Wendell Holmes ono entered
the private Office of Mr.. James 7.
Fields. the publisher. on an GRAND. He
bad a book done up in paper under his
arm. AS he was going Out he suddenly
turned and said:
II have here a most wonderful book.
1t is worth in money value any other
book in Boston. In fact. it is worth q
whole library. If 1t could be properly
edited and illustrated. as would do
1t, it would be worth the whole public
library put together"
Nodding authoritatively. he shut the
door. leaving those in the Office looking
at one another. too bewildered for con-
lecture. Presently the door opened
again quietly. and Or. Holmes put in
his head. his face bubbling over with
amusement. and said:
"Oh. I forgot to tell you what book
this is. 1t is Nat Thayer's checkbook."
Then he shut the door. Mr.. Thayer
was understood at that time to be the
richest man in Boston.

PjERRE'S GEANO STAND DISPLAY

The Pierre newspapers are making
a big roar-and, incidentally, another
plea for sympathy. because that city's
application for space in the corn pal
ace was declined for want Of 0
Some other newspapers have taken
the cue, OF which the s%ubjoined item
from the Canton News is a sample:
The Mitchell corn palace manage
ment refused to allow Hughes county
the refusal being alleged to be on
account If lack Of space. Pierre peo-
pie think it was because the man
agement was afraid of the superior
showing Hughes county could make.
The Pierre exhibit ran up against
the Dawson county exhibit at the
state fair last week and came out
second best-so it will be seen that
any ''superior showing hasn't
bothered Mitchell any.
The fact Of the matter is just this:
Pierre never made any application
for space at the corr palace until
weeks after every foot Of available
space had been engaged. The man
in charge Of the county exhibits. J.
K. Smith, has letters to show that
he had enough applications for coun-
ty exhibits to have filed a corn pal
c foul times the size of the present
b%uilding. Among other counties
an exhibit by Minnehaha county
was declined, and the counties given
space have been Fostering the life
out of Mr.. Smith for more room to
show their products. It was the
same way last year.
AS is generally known, the corn
palace building has stood from year
to year-simpIy being new decora-
lions Of corn, grain and grasses only.
1t was the intention to enlarge the
building this year. but wet weather
delayed the ripening Of corn and it
has been all the MANAGEMENT could
do to decorate and put in-shape the
building as it stands.
Had there been any available space
Pierre could have had it. notwith-
standing the Hughes county exhibit
lepleSeutS luOic IuSlle anu CASH
than the agricultural resources Of
the county itself. It is an interest
ing fact. as we'll, that notwithstand-
ing the Pierre newspapers gave the
corn palace friendly aid last year,
Hughes county has never sought any
space for an exhibit in the corr
palace until two weeks ago.
Mitchell has nothing to fear so far
as capital matters are concerned
over showing any exhibit Pierre
might put up for a particular Dur
pose at a state fair or at a corn
palace.

Testing Shock of Concussion.

Some interesting experiments on the
effect of conclusion on living bodies
have recently been made in the French
navy. Some sheep were put in the
Henri ". at quarters, and one of the
big guns was fired over them. They
were stunned, but readily recovered.
The Inference is that human life will
also survive the effect of the blast.
Sheep were then put in a submarine,
submerged. and torpedoes exploded
near them. Neither the submarine nor
he sheep were hurt. The boat was
then brought to the surface. and sail
ors were substituted for the sheep.
These also survived the shock of torpe-
does exploded "a by, so that the idea
of q submarine being destroyed by its
own torpedo must in future be dis
counted. I

How Naval Officers Are betrayed.

How do you know" asked one Of

BY his we'll kept hands l know he's
not a merchant N They work
too hard. But, just the same, he's a
~seafaring man. Whenever you see a
man pacing like that make up your
mind he has paced the poop or quarter
deck on many a night watch.
I've paced a watch of four hours in
g space that allowed only three steps
and a shove each way. You have to do
1t to keep awake. I can tell that quar-
ter deck pace in others because I've got
it myself"

Fresh Air and Sound Health,

There are many persons who seem
afraid of the fresh air. A little rain, a
little wind. a little fog. a little chill In
the air will keep them within doors.
Going out. they bundle up in clothes so
thickly that one would think they We're
tender shrubs transplanted from some
more genial cline. The healthy people,
however, are not the health cranks. not
the people who u to the doctor every
time they feel an ache. They are the
people who walk a great deal in the
fresh air. who live in the open as much
as they can and who take a vacation in
the country every year.-San Francisco

Impression. While Drowning.

Most of US, l expect, at some time or
other have wondered what it feels like
TO be drowned. If we have never seen
any one drowning we mean by this
that we wonder whether il is at ali
like what it is represented to be
whether ones whole past life passes
before ones eyes like a dream, wheth-
er Il spends ones last few moments
in wishing one had spent more p~rofita-
bly, the last few years. II we have seen
people drowning we wonder whether il
feels as bad as it looks. Now, I cannot
pretend to have been nearly drowned.
Nor can l say what it feels like to sink
after a prolonged struggle in calm wa
ter within sight Of land. But I can say
what it feels like TO be quite convinced
that Il is going to be drowned, and l
an happy to know from personal ey-
perience that the feeling is one merely
OF disappointment. One is simply an
noyed. certainly not angry, certainly
not afraid.-Hubert Walter in Black
woods.

QUAINT FRENCH VILLAGE,
Quiet and Peaceful Place Half an

Quiet and Peaceful Place Half an
Hours JonIaey From Paris.
1t seems hardly credible that not
more than thirty minutes from all the
noise and hustle Of Paris there lies a
village that is 50 quiet. so peaceful and
80 old fashioned that one would imag-
Inc oneself aJ least a hundred miles
this village, La Frette by name. and
about fifteen minutes walk from Cor
meilles, preparations for midday and
evening repasts have to be made very
early in the morning. for no such thing
as a good shop is anywhere near, and
the walk to Corneilles is one which
one considers twice before taking, for
1t is up steep and rough roads. So
daily butcher. baker and greengrocer
pass this quaint little place, and the
villagers gather round the various
tadesmen and make their purchases
for the day. They also buy their

La Frette between Paris and Havrt.
To the left of the village is the park Of
Maisons Laftitte. and facing the park
is S~artrouville, while opposite lies the
forest Of st. German in all it's green
%splendor. To the right is Herblay,
quite an important place, whose church
is visible for miles along the Seine. La
Frette Itself has the quaintest villagers
possible. Many. of them speak worse
French than those of the Midi. and it
is an event indeed when one takes a
journey up to the capital. They are

time ago one of the peasants gave his
daughter no less a sum than q quar-

ding day, and another is to receive
the same amount On her approaching
marriage. And vet this man, who must
be worth 100000 or 5,O0O,0 900 francs
at least, lives in a patched up old
house and digs in the fields from early
morning till late at night.-EXchange.

mamma asked him sternly what she
should do to a little boy who did not
mind what was told him he answered
promptly:

mamma"
