Hunter Kicked by a Moose.

One of the hunters treasures which
Charles Linklater, the trapper from Bal
sam bay, brought with him from the
north to Winnipeg, is mammoth moose
hide entire. The animal was shot by
L.nklater and will be long remembered
by him. It was an enormous brute, and
when it fell at the shot the trapper ran
up to give it finishing touch with the
knife. AS he stopped to do so the beast
struck him viciously in the stomach
with it's hoof Linklater fell back I'M
conscious, and he was taken to camp by
his pals. He was severely injured in
ternally, and for six months he tossed
In his bed. He IS even now only con-
valescent and watchful of his health. "a
dying moose" the trapper said, "can
kick just about twice as hard as lively
horse"

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
IT'S PRESIDING OFFICER IS A
MAN OF MUCH IMPORTANCE. 9
Speaker Is Raised Above All Party
Ties and a Parsonage of High
Official Dignity and Con-
sideration.
New York Special.

Among the students of political his
tory the article by Henry Norman, in
the May Century, on "The Mother of
Parliaments" is attracting wide atten-
tion. Mr.. Norman talks Interestingly
about the British house of commons.
What he has to say about the speakers
of that body is particularly interesting.
1t is doubtless, he writes, because the
position of speaker is so onerous that
the rewards attached to it are so great.
He is originally member of parlia-
ment, like the rest, and is selected by
the leader of the house, who is not nee
essarily the prime minister, from
among his own followers for his per-
sonal character and dignity and his
knowledge of parliamentary procedure.
He is usually elected unanimously by
vote of the house, and from that mo-
ment he ceases to be party man, and
his constituency is divided in its feel
ings between the honor Of returning the
speaker and the disadvantage OF being,
for all practical purposes, unrepresented
in parliament.
The speaker of the house Of commons
is person enjoying the greatest official
dignity and social consideration. He is
the first cOmmOner in the realm; his
invitations to dinner are almost equiv
alent to royal command; court dress
is worn by members who dine with him
officially; in the house he is treated
with extreme Difference, and he receives
salary Of G50O0 and the use of mag
nificent house, which forms part of the
palace of Westminster. He retains Of
flee though the politics of the ministry
may change, through successive admin
lstrations until his health fails or he
deems himself to- have earned retire
ment. Then the sovereign bestows a
peerage upon him, and the country a
munificent pension.
gularly fortunate in securing for speak
ers men of great dignity, unfailing judg-
ment and unquestioned impartiality,
and never more so than at present in
the person of Right Hon. William Court
Gully, member for bennington, a lib
eral before he was raised above all
party ties 1t is a splendid position
and, though its intellectual demands are
unceasng and its merely physical de-
mands exhausting, it is splendidly re-
warded.
The position is as exhausting as It
is distinguished During large part OF
the session the speaker must be in the
chair from two p. m. until after mid

HOT TIME IN TENNESSEE.

Manphis (Tenn) Special.

There is greater activity in republican
circles in Tennessee than has been ap-

Jesse M. Littleton, lawyer of prom

resentative Brownlow. The convention

of the state are unable to figure out a
chance for him.
The struggle for the senatorship be-
tween Senator Bate and Former Gov.
McMillin is overshdaowing the guber-
material race, but it is not believed tho
democratic party will materially lose
strength as the result of the bitter con-
test, except possibly in Knox county,
where the factions have split and where
the republicans will probably elect their
legislative candidates unless compro-
mise is effected. Gov. Frazier, who will
be renominated. will go before the

to have gone down with the battleship

UNIQUE POSITION OCCUPIED BY

World Would Be Quickly

Paris (France) Special.


Louise Michel, who is reported to be
dying of consumption in Toulon at the
age of "A, was asked once by French
statesman what she would do if the
presidency of the French republic were
offered her.
Il would accept it for "a hours" the
"Red Virgin" answered. 'Then l
would open the banks and the prisons,
and the world would be rejuvenated
Immediately"
The New York World correspondent
says that before the French public
knew her as the Joan of Arc of the
commune, she was teacher in a
boarding school at Clermont, in the
Haute-Marne. When the directress of
the school retired the curate of a
L neighboring village, Able Marechal,
who appreciated her highly as teach
er, raised fund of $4,000 to put her
at the head of the school,
In those days Louise Michel was an
ardent Catholic. When Archbishop
Sibour was assassinated she wrote
some verses demanding in behalf of
France, and in the name of the Virgin
Mary, what Paris meant by making
martyrs of her citizens.
Some time later she. became free in
structress at Montmartre, in Paris.
During the siege she gathered all the
little ragamufins she could find under
her wing and taught them. She and
they adored one another. She was no
longer an ardent Catholic. She had
come under the influence of Ferre.
Although no one has ever been
able to say that she had a lover, per-
haps unknown to herself Louise Mi
chel gave to Ferre her deepest af-
lection.
During the commune she, who had
always had horror Of blood, seized a
gun and fought heroically by the side
of the male communists.
Henri Rochefort, who always showed
warm sympathy for her, says: "She
has been all her life one of the most
extraordinary phenomena of living out
side ones self. The body did not ex-
list for her; the soul was all. l be-

Verestchagin, the Russian painter Of

the far east to paint battles and was the
guest of Admiral Makaroff He was
one of the worlds greatest painters. He
painted war scenes with the idea OF
showing up the horrors Of warfare, and
succeeded. He was awarded the Nobel
peace prize for the work which the
Swedish academy recognized his realis-
tic pictures were doing in the cause Of
peace.
Verestchagin was born in 1912 at
Tehereporets, in Novgorod, Russia. The
son Of a Russian landed proprietor, he
was sent to naval academy when eight
years old and graduated at the age Of
II years. Instead of entering the mill
tary service he went to Paris and studied
art under Gerome. In 1867 he went
through the Turkoman campaign with
Kaufman, participating in all the en-

Fight" Another picture famous In
America is "The Charge Of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders at San juan" The real
ism of his pictures was illustrated at
Buffalo, where the horror expressed In
the figure of a single soldier caused
mother with son in the Philippines to
swoon.
Verestchagin visited the United States
several times, first in 1888, and IN De-
cember, 1901, an exhibition Of his pic
lures was held in Chicago. While there
that winter he occupied the pulpit OF
All Souls Independent church, and
preached a sermon on war, whose effect
on society he compared to the ef1ect OF
an ever opening and ever recurring
wound upon the body of human being.
Verestchagin also painted wars and
historical scenes which took place be-
fore his birth and centuries back, and
these pictures alone would have made
him famous, notably his series repre-
senting Napoleon's retreat from Mos
cow. His painting Of the cruci1xion OF
Christ is one Of the m ost famous pictures
of that tragedy Of history.
