PECCARIES By NORA BRYANT
Copyrt1ht, 1906, by Ruby DOMg,ds sOeOsOsOsOsOOsOsOsOsO>O>

Down in the forests of the southwest there are certain regions where one never ventures to stroll without q rifle and where. even with a rife, one keeps an eye open for climbable trees. For here are found pcccarics; peccaries by the ones. twos. and by the hundreds the feroclous wild pig; the one anima from which an experienced hunter will run.
 Wainwright had been told all this. Every inhabtant of the ranch had talk en unlimited satisfaction in detailing to the young Englishmun the horror of death by peccaries' and in Inn pressing on him the means by which such death could be avoided. But Wainwright only smiled knowingly. He had heard before of the way these Americans like to fable to a tenderfoot. He did not propose to swallow every thing. Even Billy, the old time chum on whose ranch he was spending few or two of warning. But Wainwright was only politely bored.
 The sun rose very clearly that winter morning. After the days of raw rains and mists that had preceded it, the woods, brown and sodden, seemed beautiful to Wainwright.
 He swung along, his pipe going like a furnace, his fine shoulders squarely back as he took In deep breaths of the exhIlarating air and his tawny hair catching now and then a gleam of the sun as 1t fiickered through the trees. His rifle was tucked very obediently under one arm. but he was not hunting. He was tramping through the woods for the Enslishman's mere love of trampinE.
 The sodden leaves under foot yielded up damp, earthy smell that was very pleasant to this earth loving man. The trees rustled in a companioaly way; rabbit or two scurred through the bushes his tobacco had just the right flavor. and Wainwright would have been very contenteG had if not been for his constant thought of Billy's sis ter. Things had been going Oh bea tif1c- ally until the silly quarrel of yester- day, and now he never would have the

Uses For Charcoal.

A household remedy said to be of sovereign virtue in cases of internal poisoning of whatever sort has now come to the fore in the shape of pow dered charcoal. The antidote must be taken i'll suspension in water-that is. put into water and stirred while being taken-so that 1t shall not settle. The doses must be large, spoonful taken at intervals of ten minutes. The rem edy must also be employed when gas tro.intestinal disturbance Is felt. The Japanese were the first to make known it's absolute efficacy as an antidote in every kind of poisoning, Including pto- maines, and now French physicians of note are giving in their testimony to the same effect.

TABLE LINEN.
Watch It Carefully and Keep It Al-
 ways In Repair.


 ways I'm Repair.
 All sorts of accidents are liable to happen to table linen that is given to unskilled laundresses, and the life of the linen is undeniably shortened by visits to public laundries. Some of these may not use an excess of bleach Ing powders. but the mangling certain ly wears the fabric. as can be proved by the fluff shaken from household linen made smooth in this way. Cnde- niably a mangle can be used with less danger to the fabric than careless hand Ironing. but the greatest reckless ness seems to be the rule.
 When a hole actually appears in ta- ble linen 1t must be either darned or patched, and darnlng Is most satisfac- tory. If the tear or broken place Is not large put the linen into an embroidery hoop and darn with soft mercerized cotton or get the fiat linen thread if you can, which is made for the purpose of alarming table linen. Either will be better than ravelings of the cloth, which were once thought to be the best for mending.
 The careful housewife looks over her table linen occasionally, holding 1t to the light to find the worn places which have not yet broken through. These are put over the embroidery hoop and darned The slight interweave remain ing both strengthens the alarming and makes it invisible when ironed.
 Linen that is so worn as to be mend- ed may be starched slightly if great care be taken to use no more than will give "neW" stiffness.

 He stopped and stopped to tie his shoe. As he strengthened hilRself again he heard a tentative "Oof" near by. A rough coated pig was standing rod or so from him. watching him with ugly little eyes.
 Hello, piggy" said Wainwright gen lally. Are you one of the peccaries I hear such shameful tales about? They ought to be ashamed to malign such a harmless little chap as you"
 He rellghted his pipe, picked up his rife and started toward the peccary. Out of the way, Mir. Pig he said.
 The peccary did not stir. "Oof! Oof" he said.
 "Oo1. Oof" was answered from Il nearby bush, and "Oof! Oof" from half q dozen different directions. Out trotted half dozen rough coated little fellows with businesslike gait and grouped themselves about the first conner. Their watchful gaze was q trife disconcerting. Wainwright hit his pipestem little nervously.
 ''By love-" he said. this Is rather embarrassing! If there Is nothing can do for you gentlemen, perhaps you will step aside and let me pass?" And he took resolute step forward. The peccaries, with little grunts, held their ground.
 All this time their number had been steadily augmented until Wainwright was facing fifty of the ugly little brutes. He looked about.
 "Gads, I guess the natives were right, and Billy was not stuffing me. after all; at least as far as the beasts numbers and attentiveness go. I cer- tainly am not going to try to shoot at as close range as this. The brutes might charge"
 The foremost peccary drew a little nearer. His neighbors each took a forward step. Those on the outer edge sAoved each other little closer. There was peculiar ugliness about the little brutes that was almost sickeniyr Their dark little bodies, swarmins

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
Regular Republicans Claim Victory
Over the insurgents in the Pri.
mary Elections That Were
Recently Held
Recently Held.

The regular Republicans claim 254
delegates and give 113 to the insur,
gents. These are the latest returns
from last weeks primaries. Because
OF split delegations in several coun-
ties the regulars may be cut down to
$40. EX-Congressman Spaldin2 claims
fraud in Cass county and says he will
contest, Results show some rather
astonishing features of the North Da-
kota primary law and the mar whose
name begins with the top letters of
the alphabet has a political asset of
considerable value. In Cass county
the result as told by the votes for the
head man of each ticket showed the
regulars had won by good majority.
When the tabulated count was made
1T was discovered that II regulars had
been elected and 10 insurgcnt dele
gates. There were 81 delegates and
there were 81 anne from which to
make selection. They were arranged
in alphabetical order without regard
to factional differences. Stickcrs were
provided, but many people did not
use them. Ballot after ballot showed
the voter had made crosses after the
first 81 names and the result is a split
delegation. Another peculiar feature
is that James Kennedy, the Fargo
head of the machine organization, and
Congressman Spalding Of the insur-
gents, were both among the defeated
candidates, despite the mixture. 1t is
supposed similar results have been
found in all counties where the vote
was close, though it would naturally
be worse where there were long lists
of candidates. The regulars have such
a big lead that split delegations in diff
ferent counties can make no difference
in control of the convention. Each
faction is likely to be affected by the
same cause.
There were no contests of note in
the Democratic primaries.
