When these facts considered the declara-

saw no candidate but Hearst seems entirely
reasonable. It IS generally conceded that Mr..
Cochran will not again be dubbed Bought

Here is one of the leaders Of London So

WILD GEESE AS pEcoYs.
Kansan's Scheme to Attract Flocks
That Pass Over His Place.

From the Atchson Globe.
Dick and William Frakes, living at
Nashville, have thirty-fve tame wild
geese which they use as decoys in
hunting. Twenty of these geese they
bought up north when the birds were
young, paying 81 pair. They crippled
thirteen of the others and raised two
one old wild goose "set" and Matched
out five goslings, but three of them
died. All the geese are clipped-that
is, their wings are cut off at the first
joint.
Wild geese frequently hear the
Frakes geese and light in the Frakes'
yard. One night Dick Frakes heard
wild geese flying around his house, in
answer to the calls of his trained de-
coys. He went to the door in his night
clothes and killed five. On another
occasion lot of wild geese lit in his
yard with his decoys. He hastily rig
ged up a fish net, drove them all into
it and captured three wild ones.
The Frakes boys make a specially
of hunting wild geese, and like the
sport. They take ten of their decoys
to the river, tie them on sandbar, and
then wait in blind until the wild
geese appear. AS soon as wild geese
appear the decoys set up a great cry,
and the wild geese always sail around.
In April, three years ago, Dick and
Mace Frales killed seventeen geese in
one day, eighteen the next and thirteen
the next. That was the best record
they ever made. In addition to the
thirty-five decoys owned by Dick and
William Frakes, Mrs. Mace Frakes
owns twenty-eight and one of her old
ones set and Matched out six goslings,
all of which lived.

canoe shaped coffins-possibly so they
can cross some Madagascar styx-and the
funerals are accompanied by human sac
rifices. small portion of the body is
cut off, placed in the hollow tooth of
crocodile, and the tooth is deposited in
the sacred house of Mojanga.
The Luaka bury their dead in the
yards of houses with singing and dancing
and months afterward dig up the bones
wash them and bury them in the sacred
ground. Indians of North America place
their dead on platforms above the earth
often killing favorite horse to carry the
dead to the happy hunting grounds.
Beads, pipes, food and water are supplied
Some tribes place the skulls in circles
ON the prairies. Dead Obongos are placed
in hollow trees, the hollows being sealed
up with mud. Others are buried in the
beds OF streams, which are turned from
their courses until the funeral is over
The F'ilipinos bury the dead ostenta tious-

"Candy-Poisonine" Bugaboo.

From IesIle W eeKIy.
The National Confectioners' association
would be justified in making vigorous
protest against newspaper misrepresenta-
ton in some recent instances of alleged
candy poisoning" Investigation of these
cases by DIR. Lederle, an expert showed
that the eight Brooklyn children reported
poisoned by candy were probably the vic
Tins of impure milk. while the case of
child said to have died from the effects
of coloring matter in candy was dag
nosed as one of pickle poisoning. The as
sociation makes a standing offer of ono
hundred dollars reward for evidence that
will convict any person of the adultera-
ton of candy with poisonous or injurious
substances; yet it is perhaps too much
to hope that it's prompt running down of
reports of such offense will lead the SEN
sational and hystercal press to abandon
it's scare-heads of candy poisoning

considered.
The Chins erect head boards on which
are carved the most elaborate epitaphs
in the world-the entire history of the
dead, whose belongings are buried with
them. The Hova is given a house over
his grave, which is of four square blocks
of stone, forming a cellar for the house.
and in the house food and furniture and
money are kept for his use. The kings
are buried in silver canoes, and in all
cases the horns of cattle are placed on
poles over the hut. The Hottentots
sprinkle blood over the body sew 1t into
mats, and bury it seated in hole facing
east. No earth is thrown over the body.
The Dutch customs are as odd as any.

through the neighborhood to spread the

mourning is placed a pile of straw and
the size of the straw pile indicates the

SADpLlNG THE PROFESSOR.
Gift TO Dean Carlyle Of the AoricuI
tural College.

A Republican special from Fort Col.
Inns says: The students and faculty Of
the Agricultural college were treated
to an unusual sight Friday morning
when Dean w. j. Carlyle's saddle
horse was led into the college chapel
with silver mounted English riding
saddle on its back. Glenn Bishopp pre-
sented the saddle to Dean Carlyle in
behalf of the Agricultural college
students as an appreciation OF his
faithful services to the college and as
a. token of the best wishes of faculty
and students for successful European
trip.
Students often play horse" but this
was the first visit of real horse to
chapel and the incident was the occa-
sion Of wild applause from the assem-
bled students.
Professor Carlyle thanked the stud
ents for their gift and then outlined
the itinerary of his trip. He is the ex-
pert in charge of the United States
government horse breeding expert
ment at Fort Collins and goes to Eu-
rope as the special agent Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture to study the meth
DDS and principles of horse breeding
practiced in the old world. The OBJ
ject Of the trip is to acquire inforraa-
ton that will be Of benefit to the cx-
periments being carried on at Fort
Collins.
Professor Carlyle will leave Denver
Saturday and expects to reach Paris
June 9Th, where he will visit the Inter
national horse show of France. Thence
he will visit the National show of Bel
GUM and reach London in time for the
famous Royal show of England. The
trip will cover four months. The last
portion of it will take in the horse
breeding sections OF Austria and Rus
sia.
