Cody Declares He Was De-
ceived Into Charging Wife
With Trying to Poison Him
ADMITS HIS MISTAKE
Asks Forgiveness of Woman
to Whom He Has Not Spok-
EN- a Word for 18 Years
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DENVER. Sept. 21.-Convinced that

tempted poisoning charges against his
wife. Colonel William f. Cody will

dan. Wyo., this week. He has already
written to Mrs. Louisa Cody at North
Platte. Neb., admitting to the woman.
to whom he has not spoken a word
in eighteen years, that he was rnisled
and is desirous of obtaining her forgive
ness, their relations to continue as in
the past. This result, according to word
received here by relatives Of the scout.
is due to the arguments of Buffalo
Bills own attorneys and public senti-
ment.
In March of the present year the di-
vorce suit became public, having been
filed secretly in Big Horn County, Wyo.
The charge was that Mrs. Cody had at
tempted to poison her husband on the
night before Christmas, 1900, and had
been guilty of numerous other acts
detrimental to his peace of mind Mrs
Cody and her friends were thunder
struck and attorneys were engaged to
reply to the charges with a cross-com-
plant. The reply was never drawn, al
though it was publicly charged that
Buffalo Bill had been much in the com
pany of a woman who Travelled along
the route taken by the Wild West
Show. Mrs. Cody obtained a change of
venue to Sheridan, Wyo., out Of "Buf-
falo Bills" home county.

IN COMMISSION AFTER FOUR
YEARS AT BOTTOM OF OCEAN
Ship Falls of Garry, Sunk and Bought

for S35O,OOO.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Rapidly be-
ing loaded, preparatory to sailing for
Australia, the four -masted steel bark
Falls of Garry lies at McCormick's
elevator, Atlantic dock, Brooklyn.
Several men who had the temerity
to raise the bark from the bottom of
the Pacific Ocean, where she had lain
wreck for four years, were made
wealthy by salvage by buying her
while she was still at the bottom for
1875 and selling her after she was
repaired for $35O.000. She is the same
vessel, beam for beam, mast for mast,
that went ashore on the coast of New
Caledonia, the French penal settle
ment in the Pacific Ocean, twenty de-
grees south of the equator, nearly
eight years ago.
Rising gently with the swell at her
Brooklyn dock, her brasswork glisten-
ing like crystal, her stiff steel masts
testifying to the strength of her keel,
one can hardly imagine that she en-
dured for so long a time the wear and
tear to which she was subjected dur
ing the years she lay submerged.

STICK TO THE FARM.

The Bucks County (Pa } Intelligent
Ger says that business man of that
county, in the autumn of an industri-
Gus and successful life, thinks that the
chances for young men are as good as
ever they were-conceding health, in
telligence, skill and good habits-to
take farm, paying down a part Of
the purchase money in cash, and work
ing out and winning a home and all
the comfortable environments that &C.
crue to the minority of men in this
world. He bases his opinion upon his
own and his contemporaries expert
ence. He bought farm in early man
hood, paid part of the purchase money
down and earned the balance out of the
farm. He has now considerable other
holdings and is man of affairs in vari-
GUS local institutions. he had two
companions of nearly his own age at
the time be started in business. One
pursued similar course and has work
ed out similar results. The other went
to Philadelphia, secured what was con-
sidered a good position, has held his
position ever since, and has enjoyed a
regular salary in the meantime. Each
of the three men has some family.
The two farmers own their homes and
something more, do not need to work
every day, are their own masters, and
have every accomplishment to their
credit Of raising and educating children
and fulfilling the duties they owe to cit
izenship and their social and church re-
lations that their city friend has. The
latter has no estate-it has cost all he
made to live.

SINGS IT'S DEATH SONG.

There is queer bird in the jungles
of northern South America which is
called the "pauji" by the natives, but
is known to science as a galeated Gu.
rasson. 1t is chiefly remarkable be-
cause it sings its own death song.
1t does not really sing, but makes q
cumming noise which sounds very
much like the Spanish words Gel mu-
erto esta aqui" (the corpse lies here.)
ut is while uttering this lugubrious
chant, said South American traveller,
"that the 'pauji'usually meets its death,
for the hunter can then easily track it
to its retreat, and it falls victim, as
the Indians say, to its own death
song"
If the 'pauji'' gets suspicious it i'm.
mediately ceases humming, and that is
sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents danger.
In such case the only thing for the
sportsman to do is to remain perfectly
still. The bird may become treasured
after waiting awhile and again begin
to call, "The corpse lies here" It can
then be cautiously approached and
killed.
If it is only wounded the "pauji" u.s.
ually escapes, though it cannot fly
much better than the ordinary domes-
tic fowl. 1t is very fleet of foot and
will outrun the hunter until it is lost
in the dense underground of the jun
gle.
In the mating season the male "pau.
ji'' is the most pugnacious of birds and
will fgh: its own kind whenever it
meets them. Often the fight ends in
the humiliation of both combatants.

And it is just here that the faithful,
tactful teacher can make her influence
felt for good, can inspire, encourage, aid.
Each repeated perusal of a choice Sc
lection will unfold to older and cul-
tured minds new ideas-new beauties.
How much more so is this the case
with the young! There is too much
of the hum-drum, lifeless manner in
conducting the reading lesson, and the
reading book is assigned to the shelf
too soon in the curriculum. Every
child, even in the highest grades,
should be made to read every day, for
voice exercise, if for nothing else.
Great is the trust reposed in US who
are interested in the education of chill
dren. What is best for them should
be our constant care. We should not
dare to tamper with the mind until it
has received its faculties, lest We injure
when we would improve. 1t is unnec-
essary to give that instruction today
which may be deferred, without dan
ger, until tomorrow.
"By degrees
The human blossom blows: and every day,
Soft as it rolls along, shows some new
change"
At the proper time the vigorous in
tellect will climb the hill of knowledge,
leaving far behind the student whose
constitution was destroyed by over
crowding the brain during the tender
age of childhood

Some Thoughts on Schools
and School Work.
From an Address by Frederick Sass
cor, ESQ.,, at the Teachers
Institute In Frederick
County, Md.

We have many good things in Mary
land. Among them is our public
school system. Were l in a critical
mood l should feel it rather presump-
tuous in me. to speak otherwise than
in com mendation of what has been
brought to my notice during the first
year Of my active school service in the
capacity OF Examiner. The methods
in use in our public schools are indeed
excellent. To make proper appllca-
ton of these methods is the mission Of
the teacher of today. To fit himself
or herself for the conscientious per-
Torrance of that mission is doubtless
the ambition of every intelligent teach
er-and if can present to you a sim
gle thought that will aid you to the
attainment of this noble end, l shall
feel that my presence here is of some
avail and that have given you some
token of the pleasure your kindly
greeting affords me.
The requirements of our system are
very exacting. Teachers should be
strong in personality, cultured, ambi-
tious-able to interest in order that
they may instruct. If teacher can
know thoroughly the needs of her
classes and, when possible, the needs
OF the respective individuals compris-
ing these classes, and learn to appeal
to them, she has acquired secret Of
success. Have you not discovered
that what will arrest the attention of
one child may not interest another!
Consider The slow and not the quick.
Remember that some are less fortunate
in endowments and environments.
There can be no genuine success or
real progress in class instruction un
less the more backward can be made
to master the subject under considera-
ton. 1t is a common mistake with
teachers to overlook this fact 1t is
so tempting, SO fascinating to press
on with the bright ones. | know it
requires patience to do this, but no
one should presume to attempt the in
struction OF young people who has not
self control and patience we'll devel-
oped.
Modern text books cannot be sur
passed. They are valuable aids, but,
after all, are only instruments that re-
quire skilful use by trained hands.
Their excellence is of no avail unless
the teacher can appreciate it and util-
ize it. Most of our modern books are
modelled to meet the requirements Of
the more advanced methods of instruc-
ton, and therefore teachers ought to
be up-to-date.
Teaching is science in which all
do not excel. 1t is profession which
cannot be successfully pursued with
out proper preparation and 'q"ipment
There are now certain well-defned
rules and methods, the knowledge of
which is indispensable to success in
the school room. l believe that every
young teacher should serve an appren-
ticeship, as it were, under some
ackno wledged master. This idea is
recognized by the practice in some
States. In the District of Columbia
there are model teachers employed to

TOBACCOS THAT CAUS ES
DEATi;.

For many weeks during the winter
before last stormy weather made it i'm
possible for relief boats to reach the
Longships lighthouse off the Cornish
coast. When at last the sea Gained
sufficiently for the ship to be visited it
was found that the crew, though they
had some food left, had entirely run
out of tobacco. They had been forced
to smoke ground coffee, tea leaves, and
hops.
1t is curious fact that while cigar
cites made of the leaves Of the coffee
trees are declared to produce an un-
conquerable aversion for tobacco, yet
the smoking of the coffee bean is ex-
tremely harmful. 1t produces Pc
culiar kind of sore til roat, which may
actully prove dangerous if the prac-
tice OF coffee smoking is persisted
in.
Tobacco is without doubt the most
wholesome of vegetable substance used
for smoking, but it is by no M ans the
only one so employed.
One OF the chief of these substitutes
is Indian hemp or "bhang," the use of
which has increased of late years in the
East even more rapidly than that Of
opium.
The leaf is prepared by drying and
powdering, and is then mixed with
ordinary tobacco and smoked in a
common tobacco pipe. Or sometimes
it is made into balls with tragacanth
gum, and smoked like opium in very
small pipe.
Indian hemp is literally tobacco of
death, for it has been used from time
immemorial to excite the passions OF
fanatical murderers The Indian Sc
poys were made mad with bhang TAX
ing part in the awful scenes of the
Indian Mutiny.
Another name for bhang is "has-
heesh," whence comes the word ''assas-
SIM" A third name for Indian heml:
is ganiah, which is the term that In
dian coolies use.
A petition has recently been circulat-
ed in Jamaica that the government
will forbid the sale of ganjah to the
East Indian coolies who work on the
banana and sugar plantations in that
Island. Habitual users of the drug
become maniacs with homicidal ten
denotes, and are given to running
'amok" and killing all in their path.
The physical effects of the smoking
of Indian hemp are varied and terrible.
Sometimes the smoker CYCLES namely,
at other times he goes balancing along
first on one foot, then another, rub
bling his hands and talking to him
self: His appetite becomes furious,
and he will eat even clay and grass.
Catalepsy is frequent result of in
diligence in this horrible drug; in
other cases dropsy supervenes, and
the inevitable end is death.
