THOUGHT SECTION
 HEN WE'RE DEER

One of the most remarkable hunting accidents reported thus far this year occurred near Fort Francis, when hunters fired on couple of section men engaged in operating a hand ear, deer running. The hunters were Cap- tain Reedman and Hillard Martin, and one of the section men named Joseph Beaudro was seriously wounded.
 Night was closing in at the time Of the accident, and the pumping motion of the men led the hunters to believe that what they saw was Il small hero of deer. News of the accident reached Duluth yesterday. {,
 Captain Reedman and Ar Martin were out late in the afternoon near a gravel pit alongside the main line of the Canadian Northern road. There is a spur track that runs into the pit. Suddenly the hunters saw the section men on the car emerge from the pit at lively clip. In the gathering gloom the hunters could not see very dis tinctly, but the peculiar motion of the men could be made out, and the hunt CTS fired on them with never n tlloJg # but that it was deer that they saw.
 The section men threw themselves to the ground as soon as they realized that they were being fired upon. The bullet that struck Beaudro shattered one of his elbows, and then entered the body, lodging near the spine above the hips. The wounded man was hur- Tied to the hospital at Fort Francis. His recovery is uncertain.

General Gordon. British officer who has written a book on the sikhs, the celebrated fighters of India, says that the signs by which you may know a Sikh are these: He never cuts his hair. but wears his beard looped up over his ears; he never smokes nor touches tobacco, because that is the privilege Of the Mohammedan, but he is allowed to drink spirits and is q great consumer of opium. Finally, he must have about his person the five Ks, which General Gordon thus enum. crates: Kes Qong hair of the head), as the Sikh must never cut his hair or beard; kangi (comb), to secure the hair tied up in knot on top of the head; kaceh (breeches reaching to the knee); kard (knife), and kirpan (sword).

Even though President Roosevelt did sweep the country, there are q few people in various parts of the country that cannot even tolerate his picture. An incident that happened in BaIti- more short time ago promises to dis. rupt one of the leading clubs of thaA city. It happened at a woman's club meeting, too. so that the blame cannot be attached to a lot of hot headed, poli- ticians. The incident marked the lec- ture of Prof Kokice, Moritnloto of Tokio, delivered before the club on November 16. Prof Moritmoto to il, lustrate his lecture presented n superb lot of photographs of Japan and Man. churia, of the mikado, the czar and finally President Roosevelt. When the presidents portrait was thrown upon the screen there was burst of kisses from one side of the darkened room, and the demonstration was continued until the lecturer removed the slide. The lecture came to a sudden termina, tion. The lights were turned on and more than half the ladies at once with drew. expressing their indignation over the insult to the chief magistrate of the nation. The president at once de. clared the entertainment at an end.

Professional promoters of education and friends of the schools outside of the ranks of professional workers are occasionally moved to exploit views which are at least novel If not radical. The idea behind these views is that a shaking up is good thing for teach. CTS to keep them from getting into ruts, says an exchange. Recently it was affirmed that women are less. com potent than men to train boys in nianli- ness and courage. The pros and cons in this discussion were suggestive and doubtless helpful, like most discus. sions undertaken in good faith. Re

 As a temporary arrangement 1t is satisfactory to have gates at grade crossings, provided there is a watch man at each crossing to lower the gates and provided the watchman does lower them. But such an arrangement should be only temporary. Death and serious accident are so frequent at grade crossings, even when the most conscientious vigilance prevails, that officials, companies and the public are ultimately compelled by a regard for human life to get rid of the grade crossings by putting the road above the steam railway tracks or these tracks above the road.

There is force If not novelty in this remark by the New Haven Leader, says the Hartford Times: If there Is any distinction in crimina1ity, that of the brfbe-giver is greater than that of the brfbe-taker, and civic corruption can never be swept away until it's sources are rooted out" Perhaps if ex-Governor Bulkeley were consulted on this subject he might be able to add something that would make the distinction easier to distinguish.

In Germany tramps are set to work, unless they can make satisfactory ex- planation for their idleness, and the work they are made to do Is not so easy but that they will try to find something moro to their liking when they are released. Our law makers will be obliged to take some measures to keep this class from troubling hon. est, industrious people, especially the farmers. The number who are willing to work Is surprisingly small, and the stories they tell to excite sympathy are mostly untrue, So that but few feed them willingly.

Radiun1.

Everybody seems to be talking about
radium nowadays. The editor of this
paper has been looking up the matter
lately and he finds, in the first place,
that it is entirely out of the question
to furnish each reader with a sample
of radium, for the simple reason that
it costs over $4,000 a drop and a pound
at $3, 10000 would not go very far.
1t is said that it took the discoyerer
of radium three years to produce the
first pure grain and that she (for the
dlscoverer is a woman) is only enabled
to continue her experiments through
the means of public endowment.
Radium is grayish-white substance,
resembling coarse grained salt. One
grain is produced from half ton of
pitch blende. 1t possess the power to
emit spontaneously and continuously
light, heat and power. Radium ap-
pears to be an elemental force in nature
like air and water, and is only pro-
duced by long, expensive chemical pro-
cesses. For that reason it is not at
present available for COMMERCIAL pur-
poses. 1t has been used in the practice
OF medicine, espe ,ially in cures for
cancer.
If radium should ever be discovered
III sufficient quantities to render its
production less costly, it may become,
like electricity, a great commercial
factor.
