Shooting crocodiles in India is q lit
tie like shooting mud turtles. A hunt
or describes the sport: I'VE suddenly
came on our first crocodile about q
mile from camp, asleep on the bank,
with fits mouth open, not more than
twenty yards from us. 1t started to
get away, but l fred two shots as
quickly as 1 could get them of, the
first Into its mouth and the second in
to its neck as It turned its head. That
stopped it e~ffectually, and 1t got
into the water. The next day we found
another crocodile, and my friend got
1t Just above the shoulder. This was
not enough to stop 1t, but we both fired
as 1t was getting into the water, and
one bullet hit it in front of the quar-
tiers. They sometimes come up again
when wounded, so we waited about
twenty minutes, and then looking
about l saw it lying on It's back at the
bottom of the stream. Ii looked dead
enough, SO we got hold OF the end Of
the tail and pulled it ashore. We gave
it two moro shots, one in the neck and
the other in the middle Of the back,
ind 1t then still had vitality enough
to bite Il paddle in two, though the
legs were paralyzed and 1t could moi
move"

Obituary.

The Rev. r. NJ. Woodsides, of
Braggadocio, Mo-, died at that place
happy in a Saviour's love on the 9TH
day of last December, of pneumonia,
after an illness of eleven days.
Mr. Woodsides was for many years
a resident of Crittenden county, and
II | mistake not served fol-. awhile in
the Federal army. He was known as
a public school teacher of the high
est class, back in .the 7Os and con
tributed many articles in verse and
prose to the local paper. The fol-
lowing stanza from one of his poems
is still fresh in the writer's memory
Alas how VAIN and cheating
Are all the hopes of earth
They're like the moments Aeeting
And joys will die at birth.
They, like the little flower,
That looked so sweet at morn.
Will perish in an hour,
And leave the heart forlorn.

by the desire not to begin active

vice OF the authorities at Washing

For this purpose Ambassador Jusse-

can government The officials here
agree that Frances action is some
what hampered owing to Venezuela's s
peculiar situation, the foreign claims
on the customs being regarded as
placing blockade almost out of the

1t is feared that if France stopped

ply with Venezuela's obligations to-
ward other nations. 1t is admitted
that preparations are going on for

This much is regarded as certain,
Frances next move will depend on the

breaking up under the influence of an
area of high pressure and cold wealth

attended by thunderstorms of the usu-
al summer type. The eastern front of
the cold weather has reached western
Indiana. western Tennessee Iand
northern Texas. its further progress
eastward will be somewhat slow and
it's intensity will diminish as it reach
es eastern districts. For tonight and
Tuesday rain is indicated for the low
er lake region and the middle and
south Atlantic states, and the upper
Ohio valley 1t will be decidedly cold
er tonight in the Ohio valley and
thence southwark to the gulf states,
