remodelinE of old ST. Johns Episcopal
church here, in which Patrick Henry
made his famous liberty or DEATH

The question has been before the con-

the subject has been SO strong that it
Is said some members may leave the
church.
The fight has just come to an end,
and the foundations have been dug for
the extension to the building which

LABOR LOSES FRIEND.
In the Death Of George Frisbie Hoar.

In the death of George F'risbie Hoar,
the senior United States Senator from
Massa chusetts, organized labor is de-
prived of a firm friend and staunch
supporter. Both in the United States
Senate and in his state he had always
been to the forefront in his support
of all measures for the betterment of
industrial conditions, and his influence
and ability made him a valuable ally
humanity in general.
Senator Hoar's opinion of labor or
CARNATIONS is clearly expressed in the
following declaration made during a
speech in the senate:
Il cannot see why If capital may
combine in corporations labor may not
combine in, labor unions.
Every corporation and every part
nership is an aggregate of individuals
So when single workingman desires
employment he has to make his bar

thing he has to sell: is his days work
If he goes down in the morning tC
make his engagement the thing he has
to sell perishes with every hour OF
delay in making his contract. These
associations Of: capital frequently ex-
tend through the whole country and
control under one head and with one
will every establishment in the coun-
try in which a skilled workman might
hope to find employment.

workman should not combine to make
his bargain, as to the rate of wages,
as to the hours of labor and as to the
comfort and safety of his occupation -

KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED,

Butchers have all sorts of funny ex-
pepiences with their customers. A
prominent West Side, New York,
market man with finely developed
sense Of humor is said to be respons-
ible for the latest, which has been
going the rounds this week. It will
be observed that the dialect has been
considerably broadened by repetition,
until it does not at all resemble the
clear cut accent Of the butcher who
first told it. It goes this way:
'Dhere was. a bretty young womans
who one of my markets came at, who
a leg Of lamb for her dinner would
buy. She had not married been long
yet alretty, und vas greens. about
marketing, by gracious.

"YOu would be surprised to

Orleans who do not clearly I'M

eli the nickel said a storekeeper
downtown, according TO the New
Orleans Times Democrat. "and it
all results from the popularity of
the quarter system which has al
ways been so much a part of life
IA this city. They are the small
buyers, who run all kinds of err
rands for the little family to which

purchases amounting in indi-
vidual cases to less than five cents,
daily amount in the aggregate to
thousands of dollars. 1t is no
small part of the retail traffic of
the city. The children split a nick
el up into very small pieces, buy
ing a penny's worth of this and 4
penny's worth of that, until they
leave the store or the market with
an armful of little packages which
represent the days supplies.
Sometimes they will spend
only a part Of the nickel, and will
get a ticket. frequently the pur-
chase will amount to two and a
half cents, and then they get a
pastebOard check for the other two

Another Radium wonder.

In a paper just read before the
Royal society ii was shown that
when a little radium-which is
now practically unpurchasable in
this country-is brought near the
head in the dark there is a sensa.
ton of light produced, which is
due TO a nuorescence excited in
the lens and retina of the eye. The
fact that fuorescence can be ex-
cited in living tissues is entirely
new, and has already excited the
greatest interest, no one knowing
yet what the consequences of the
huorescent state may be. 1t is
known that the radium is not seen,
because sight is always accom-
panied by bleaching of the color
ing matter of the eve, known as
the visual purple, and radium has
no action on this substance.-Lon

ANIMAL ATTACKS ON MEN.
Roars and Growls Are More Often
Than Not Pure Blufs-How
They Charge.


Many pictures of animals at
tacks ON man or on each other will
have TO be revised if they are made
true to life, says the Baltimore
Herald. Most of the conceptions
are entirely wrong, according to
the statement Of a close student
Of such things.
"In Selling their prey tigers and
lions almost invariably go for the
throat" he says, "though in one or
two instances that have come
under my notice of animals killed
by tigers they have evidently first
been hamstrung. These probably
were victims of young and inexpe-
rienced tigers. l once saw a man
charged and knocked over by a
panther and he only saved his
throat by putting up his arm,
which. as we'll as his shoulder, the
animal grasped with teeth and
claws.
"Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part of the
animal and that he shields it from
injury by every possible means in
his power. 1t is, therefore, very
unlikely that he would expOseitin
the act of charging. My expe-
rience, limited though it be, points
to the fact that an elephant, once
he has made up his mind to charge,
curls up his trunk tight.
"Bisons and buffalOes, when
they charge, invariably poke their
noses in the air and commence
running at you with their heads
we'll up, much in the manner of
domestic cattle, and only lower
their horns when within a few
yards of the object of their atten-
tons. This ! take to be a mere
matter of common sense on the
part of the animal, for if he puts
his head down, say even 40 yards
away, he could not possibly see
where he was going.
"Bears, when wounded, will
often get on their hind legs and
dance about from sheer rage, and
will also at times do so in order to
get a better view of the where
abouts of their enemy; but when
they charge, whether ii be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
variahly charge on all tours.
ON charging most animals give
vent to certain vocal sounds
grunts or roars-and this, it is
natural to suppose, is done with a
view to terrifying and demoraliz-
ing the object they are attacking;
in fact. more often than not it is a
mere bluff on the animals part.
have often seen tigers roar when
charging which never really
meant mischief, and which. when
met by a bold fro%nt,turned off"

Spokane, Jan. 10,
The Prsss: Perhaps your readers will
be interested in a short letter from me.
lhave been in Spokane long enough
to know something about the winters
they have in this part of Washington.
The winter has been mild-rather damp
and quite a little rain at times. During
the past two months there has not been
more than 2 or 3 real windy days but l
did not mind it. There has been a little
snow at different times. Six inches fell
n night and 3 inches the next day and
then it turned warmer and all went away.
The night of the 18th the thermometer
registered 2 degrees below zero which is
the coolest weather l have seen here.
have been telling the Spokane people
that North Dakota has more sunshine
weather than any state in the Union and
that it is the healthiest.
My health is better but l have been
taking a rest and if l had had the same
amount of rest at home l think that
health. l have really been a little home
Dakota breezes.
Spokane is fine city, having a popu-
lation Of $4,000, and l like it very much.
This is no stock country. Feed is too
high. Hay sells at sf8 per ton, wood from
81 to 81 per cord, and rents from SIS to
SIS per month. If man gets S1.5o per
dav in North Dakota | think he can save
more money than he would on $3.50 a
day here. Will Brookings came out with
me, but | have not seen him for E weeks
expect he is around the city yet. A
former Wibaux man is here in the rea
estate business.
shall return to my old camping
ground the last of February and hope al
my friends will hold their nursery orders
