And They Grow More Foolish With

cause people to worry any.

OVER NIAGARA TO DEATH.
Daring Attempt to Rescue Man From
Cataract Fails.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Nov. 2s.-An
unknown man was swept over the
Horseshoe falls in small boat this
afternoon. The man was standing up
frantically waving his hands when
last seen. Two rowboats started
down the Chippewa river in daring
attempt at rescue at the mouth of the
small stream, but a cross-current
swept the unfortunate man away from
them toward Goat island, and in a
few minutes he was carried over the
brink The would-be rescuers were
by this time In perilous position.
and 1t was with great difficulty that
they succeeded in reaching shore.

fright until the one which has beer
captured lets out a squawk when it
is bitten to death.
THE way the boys have been kill
ing wild geese along the shores of
Coldstream Lake this fall is some
thing scandalous. The old hunters
and fishermen hereabouts have say
ing that when the buNfrogs go into
the mud for the winter they never dig
deeper than the length of a goose
from the tip Of its bin to its breast
bone. which is just 21i inches for
every goose that lives.
''No matter what kind of soil II is.
and no matter how hard or how easy
the digging is. every frog in New Eng
land makes it a rule to burrow TWEEN
ty-one and a half inches and thea
turn around. head to the outside, and
settle down for its winter nap. No
matter how hungry a goose may be.
or how soft the mud is, no goose was
ever known to dig an inch with its
shovel bill for the sake of getting a
frog TO eat. though all geese will peck
their way into half frozen ground
when they want mess of raw turnips
for breakfast.
Because they know to the fraction
of an inch how deep the frogs burrow
in winter, and because they know the
length of a goose's neck, the boys
have made a contrlvance for catching
wild geese that works every time.
First off, the boys spear a number
of fat bullfrogs from their winter
apartments. taking pains to drag the
bodies of the frogs across the surface
of the meadows where the geese feed
Later they make round holes in the
mud that are about two feet in depth,
after which they bait a strong hook
with a live frog and attach II to a
stake, the top of which must be driven
until it is twenty-one and a half in
ches below the surface of the ground
THE rest is easy. The geese smell
the frog odor about the field and fol-
low 1t up until they come to one of
the holes, when they reach down the
regulation distance. find the frog
with a hook in It, swallow the whole
outfit and are anchored until the boys
come along and kill them and set the
trap again.
"The strangest thing about IL is
that no goose will ever negotiate frog
bate that is set less than the regula-
ton depth under ground. II a baited
hook were left on top of the ground. !
or ten inches below the surface, or
even twenty inches down, 1t might
stay there all winter and not a goose
would look at II.

COUNTRY NOT WORRIED
OVER JAPAN'S GRIEVANCES

The Providence Journal insists
that the rest of the country is not
in sympathy with California in her
japanese troubles. The Journal
SAYS:
The Chinese exclusion law has never
APPEALED strongly 10 the East: but, so
long as the interests of the nation as a
whole have not seemed 10 be seriously
involved. the people have been disposed
20 indulge no great sentiment in that
matter. A similar question raised with
respect TO the Japanese is a different
matter. and if il is the purpose to cram
the ideas that appear TO rule in CalifOT-
MIA down the throat OF the rest OF the
country the CalifOrnians need not be
surprised If they are summarily dealt
with as a public nuisance. Meantime
the CalifoTnians are having plenty of

How Chicago Goes to Work.

Chicago is ii large city and its
reeds are large It's aims and its en-
terprises are large correspondiugly.
So it is that its business men have
not hesitated to grapple the enor-
nous problem of making it beauti-
fIl. Men of spirit elsewhere might
well pause before an undertaking
SO vast and so discouraging. but not
those who made the Columbian Ex-
Position.
What they propose is this:
An outer park belt encircling the
entire city; a beautiful river front
with embankments, driyeways and
granite docks; ii civic center to be
formed by erecting city hall to
match the adjoining county build
ing; small parks TO be obtained by
condemning the half-blocks on their
east and west facades; putting the
street ears INTO subways; concen-
trating the railroads into two great
terminal centers; and the erection
of various new buildings, including
an enlarged Art Institute.
The size of this undertaking is
clear from the fact thar $4,000 is
estimated as the cost of employing
a board of supervising architects
and holding a competition for plans.
III such sum must be expended be-
fore "a single shovel of dirt is thrown
up the total outlay may be expected
To run far into the millions.
Well, the S5C.0oo is Forthcoming.
The Merchants Club has assumed
half of it, Eighty men have sub
scribed SlO0 each. Daniel II. Burn
ham has been commissioned 10 di-
rect the competition and lay down
the conditions of the competition.
and banquet viii be given in Janu-
airy 60 make the architects ac-
quainted with the business men who
are paying the bills
1t is business project through
out; and it may well be an object
lesson for Washington throughout.
We do not need 20 subscribe $50
coo for plans 10 make the Capital
beautiful. That has already been
done. We do not need 10 cuncen-
trate the railroads into two termin-
Us That, also, has already been
done, and the District has had .,
pay only its share of the cost, not
all of it as Chicago viii pay all But
We do need cooperation for other
purposes, cooperation independent
OF Congress like that of the Chicago
Merchants Club. 1t is hard to be-
Heve that Washington cannot obtain

differ radically on the remedies that
should be applied to the existing
conditions.
Goodwin Smith, who has been
preaching annexation for some
years, since the failure of "a series
Of determined and persistent efforts
10 form a commercial union between
the countries. has issued an eIabo-
late statement in which he pre-
sumes TO show "a marked shift of
sentiment on the part of the Canad-
ians in favor of annexation to the
United States. Mr.. Smith is salts
fed that annexation viii come with
in the next twenty years, and that.

effort TO talk about reciprocal trade

ginning.

insists that the greatest degree of

States and ''Thc lady of the Shows" ."
SIR. Hill admits that annexation
figures in the logical destiny of the
two countries. but ne sees no pos
sibility of such union within the
ne->t fifty years.
