ODD FACTS ABOUT DEER.
Wonderful Jumpers, With n Marvel
Gus Sense OF Smell

Wonderful Jumpers, With a Marvel
Gus Sense OF Smell.
Deer are wonderful jumpers, rs NAV
be imagined says q writer. L have
seen hind clear fifteen feet or so and
buck as high rs n tall man merely TO
avoid small drain, and also, at a
drive, l have seen a stag jump clean
over one Of the beaters, taking n fence
ut the same time. There is still ex-
tant the record Of famous leap made
by stag down on the borders of Eft
tick during 4 hunt by one of the old
Scottish kings. The place is known
as the Harris Leap and is commemo-
rated by two stones, which the mon
arch had erected to mark the spot.
They measure twenty-elght feet apart.
Deer have a marvellous sense of
smell. With strong wind blowing
they will scent man n mile off. Yet,
though their powers OF scent are mar
velous, / confess to having had one
Illusion quickly dispelled From read
Ing various old books on the subject I
had come to regard their sight as
something quite abnormal and fondly
Imagined that, on spying deer, say, a
mile or so away, cautious advance
was necessitated, after the manner Of
our ancient enemy, the serpent.
Now, though deer do have good
sight, they are certainly inferior in this
respect to the roe, and so long as you
keep perfectly still, will have great
difficulty in detecting you / proved
this again and again one July when
trying to obtain photographs Of wild
deer. | did not get any photographs,
though plenty of experience, but / was

deer without their being conscious OF

WILD BABOONS.
An Incident which illustrates the
Caution OF the Animals.

Caution or the Animals.
One OF the farm boys drew our at
tenuOn 10 what seemed little more than
n couple OF dark speckS on the slope
Of the hills TO the right, but we could
soon see that they were moving. and
when they came within half n mile OF
us we could distinctly recognize them
as herd Of balloons.
The boy said that he was quite sure
they were on their way to the water:
but, 10 our surprise. they did not make
any advance. \ quarter OF an hour
elapsed. half an hour; still no sign OF
their approach. All at once. as II they
had started from the earth BIZ magic.
ut the open end OF the pond. not sixty
yards from our place OF ambush, stood
two huge males.
When or how they got there no one
could tell. Probably they had come
by a circuitous way through the val
ley, or II might be that they had crept
straight down through the grass. They
had certainly eluded our observation.
Being anxious to watch the move
ments OF the animals and 10 ascertain
whether they belonged to the herd
playing under the mimoSas, refrained
from firing and determined TO see
what would follow next. Both balloons
sprang toward the water, and. leaning
down, they drank till they were salts
fed. Then, having gravely stretched
themselves. they solemnly stalked
away on all tours in the direction OF
the herd. There was little doubt. there
fore. that they belonged to the herd
and had been sent forward to recon
hotter, for rs soon as they got back
the entire herd put itself in motion
toward the pond.
There were mothers taking care OF
their little ones; there were half grown
animals, the boys and girls of the com
pany. At first only one babOon at
time came 10 the waters edge and.
having taken its draft. retired TO the
rest, but when about ten had thus ven
tured separately they began TO come
In small groups, leaving the others roll
Ing and jumping on the sand.-Youth's

Strength OF NIn..cIr.

You must. some time, try to open
the shell of II fresh water musSel or Il
sea clam. You will find one the size
OF your hand has great strength. al
though both his muscles may not be
larger than those Of one OF your fin
gers. have often seen a boy pick up
mussel and insert his fingers before
the shell was quite closed. thinking he
would open il again. Few boys can
succeed. They usually have hard pull
ing TO get their fingers free. \ big
mussel can bite hard. Were it not
that the edge OF the shell. In big specl-
mems, is smooth and thick. boy might
get his fingers cut to the bone. - st.

Bells.

Bells have been employed in assocla-
ton with religious worship since the
early days OF Egypt Cymbals and
hand bells and small crotals served for
the festival OF Isis. Aaron and other
Jewish high priests wore bells OF gold
upon their raiment. In camp and gar
rison the Greeks employed bells. The
Romans announced the hour OF bathing
by their melody. Copper and tin. the
old composition. Is still regarded as
the best bell metal. Steel has been
tried. but does not make successful
bell. Glass bells are mellow and beau
tiful I'm tone. but the material is too
fragile. The one metal which Is i'm

PerpetuaI Noon.

One of the oddities OF our system of
reckoning time is exemplified in the
question as to what time the north
pole keeps. IL theory all places ON one
meridian Of Longitude keep the same
time; therefore the north pole. being
the central point Of all meridians, must
necessarily have all times. Should the
pole ever become habitable the resi-
dent would be able to have day or
night at any hour Gin theory by elect
ing to take his time from a meridian
to correspond. Should such an unex-
pected event ever occur there would
have to be made some readjustment OF
our present system Of reckoning time
to suit the arctic regions.

REPUBLICAN PROMISES.

Voters in Virginia should not
lose sight of the fact that the Re
publican promise of free school
books in case Judge Lewisis elected
governor is an absurd exhaIation
of hot air. If Judge Lewis and
the entire Republican State ticket
were elected they could accomplish
nothing in that direction without
the legislature. \ majority in
both the house of delegates and the
senate would be required. 4 Re
publican legislature is manifastly
and confssedly impossible.
On the other hand, if the people
really desire the free school books
they can insure the result without
electing a single Republican. All
they need TO do Is to learn the
position of the candidates for house
and senate on that question and
vote accordingly.
We confess that we feel much
encouraged, cheered and relieved
by the adoption of this issue by the
Republicans as the backbone of
their fight. 1t is so manifestly a
trick that we do not believe that it
will deceive any considerable num-
Der of voters. 1t is a confession
thatthe Democratic administrations
have been so wise and honest that
there Is no real issue for the Re-
publicans to take hold of. If they
could find any serious corruption
or neihclency, certainly they
would not be chasing off on this
school-book question. The fact
that they have had to create an
issue Is the best possible evidence
that they can find no real one. A
man with good, strong case in
court does not have to travel ont
side the record and drag in a new
and foreign proposition. The Re-
publicans are so hard driven for
arguments to convince the people
why they should change the admin
istration that they are compelled to
try to stir up sectional feeling and
to promise impossibilities to find
material for their text books and
campaign speeches.
Putting aside all questions of
underlying principle and sentiment
and of practicability, let each man
when this question is sprung on
him ask himself whether the $50 -
600, 100000 or $3.50. 900 it is pro-
posed to spend in supplying free
school books, suppOsing we have
the money TO spend, could not be
better spent for other purposes.
mat sum of money applied TO
equlpping, organizing and supply
ing a force of convicts for svste-
matte work on the public roads
would accomplish great results
Used for increasing the pay of the
teachers, it would add much to tho
efficiency of the public school svs-
tenn. Two hundred thousand dolIors
would build twenty comfortable
school-houses and, used every wear
for ten years, it would build two
hundred and give us something
permanent to show for our money

issue the same an appeal will be
taken to the supreme court, which
body handed down the favorable
decision, and which body will un-
doubtedly find way to restore the
child to her parents.
From all that can be learned the
sheriff of Lyon county seems to be
inviting the favor of the Lehmanns,
politics being factor in the game.
According to reliable information
when he went down to Tracy after
little Airline, ten days or more after
the supreme court handed down the
decision, he was in company with
the attorney for the Lehmanns, and
while he made public bluff in say
ing that he would secure the child
if she was in Tracy, he actually
made little or no attempt to find her.
For she was in Tracy at that time
not only in Tracy, but at that very
moment that the sheriff called at
the Lehman residence Airline was
in one of the rooms of the residence.
The grandparents, while knowing
that the sheriff was on his way
from Marshall to secure their grand
child, and also of his arrival in
Tracy, made no attempt whatever
to conceal the object of the sheriff
search. On the contrary, when the
sheriff called at the Lehman resi-
dence be was greeted very fratern-
ally, gave a mutual return of greet
ing, said that be was after Airline.
and was told to look for her. He
did not enter the residence, but
took it for granted that the girl was
not inside of the same, and COM
menced looking down the we'll of
the premises, and then wandered
out into the golden rod pasture.
He took the next train home with
the report that the child could not
be found in Tracy, and that the
grandparents had secreted her
somewhere beyond the Atlantic or
Pacific ocean.
Then came the proceedings for
Furnishing the Lehmanns for con.
tempt OF court in not keeping in

custody the child, they having Civ
en- bond for her safety and for her
return to the court when demanded.
The application was made return
able on June 30th before Judge
Weber at New Ulm. On that day
Korns & Johnson, attorneys for the
grandparents, showed that the
child was still at the home of the
Lehmanns in Tracy and had never
been away from that city, and rep
resented that the sheriff could cas-
lily have found Airline had he been
diligent In his duty. The attor-
neys even contended that when the
proper order of the court was forth
coming that Airline would be turned
over to her father, but not until
then. Judge Weber, after week
of elaboration, concluded that the
contempt proceedings had not been
proven, and that under them he
could not issue the order for the re-
turn of the child to Martin.
Mr.. Matthews, attorney for the
father, took his cue from the de-
cision of Judge Webber, and short
ly after the decision was received,
commenced an action under the
habeas corpus laws, compelling the
Lehmanns to turn over the child to
the father. This application will
have to pass through the regular
channel, and in case Judge Weber
should decide that Martin is not
entitled to his daughter under the
laws of the state the appeal from
his decision will be taken to the su
preme court, which body has al
ready decided in Martins favor.

1.-THE following was in type two days
before the actual figures by townships,
villages and city were received, and
when it was thought that it would be
unable to obtain them before Aug, lst,
ED.
The population of Redwood coun-
ty, according to the census com
pleted on June Both, 1905, will be
Is, Gal, or net gain of 1880 over
the census of 1900. The population
OF the city of Redwood Falls com
plete is 1906, a gain of 145 over the
preceding enumeration.
THE GAZETTE hoped to give the
population of the county complete
by townships, villages and city this
week but Secretary of State Hanson
has enforced that portion of the law
which prohibits the census depart
ment from making public any in
formation regarding the census IN
til after the entire work is com
pleted, or until after Aug. 1st. The
secretary of state issued this order
of enforcement after the big leak
occurred in Hennepin county, where
by the Minneapolis Journal got it's
big scoop on all of the other papers
in the Twin Cities. Mr.. Hanson
read all the employees of the census
bureau a riot act Immediately after
that event and intimated that any
further dissemination of census
bureau news would be an act Of
disloyalty to the bureau and the
punishment might be more than
dismissal.
Redwood county is one of the
southern counties used by the de-
partment ten days ago to show that
while the population of the state
would show a material increase ov-
er the census of five years ago the
