A TWO MINUTES TALK.

For some weks past we have been telling the public what great book
 the 1906 World Almanac is. We have not exaggerated. It is even greater. The American News company has raised its order three times this year, the total number to date taken by that one concern being over 9O,00O, with more in sight. How's that for an in-. dorsement: Nearly 100000 people buy the World Almanac each year and keep on buying it. There's something mighty good about it. The purpose of this talk is to tell how to get the book at an especially attractive price. Send Sk10 for. one years subscription to the Thrice-a-Week World (new- subscrip- ton or renewal, and a copy of the l9O6 World Almanac mearly 700 pages) will be sent you at once, postage paid.

Hounds Discovered Fox,s Trick

In the stone wall countries of Ire. land foxes sometimes resort to the strstseem of running along the top of the walls for a considerable distance. throwing hounds of the scent There was an incident of this kind with the Waterford hounds after their meet at Carrick-on-Suir A fox jumped on to the top of wall al Corbally. but Mir. Pollok was equal to the emergency and held his hounds along by the side. Suddenly one of the pack jumped on to the wall and. running along the top carried the scent unerrinsly for a mile and half. Finding his tactics of no avail. the fox took 10 terra frma. but the hounds were now close to his brush and bOvled him over.

Unless the unexpected happens the
 anti-joint statehood campaign is not only dead but beyond resurrection.
 The insurrectionary force of the house,
 is broken beyond reconstruction and
 the insurgent leaders are now devotins
 their time to telling how it happened,
 which is not so important as the fact
 that it has happened. Of course there
 is chance that the senate may take
 up the fight and secure an amendment of the house bill but that is not con. sidered probable. The measure is q party measure. as has been previously pointed out, and it is not any more likely that the senate will break lines on the measure than that the house would. As the case now. stands. tile bill will in all likelihood go through the senate unchanged and there will be an addition of four democratic sen. ators to the party ranks. But this is not so bad from the republican stand- point as though the measure had been passed by democratic congress and there had been eight democratic sena- tors added. The one thing that is sure is that there will be an immense ap- preciation of property values in the two new states as soon as they attain statehood as was the case with Nevada. So anyone who has money had better get busy in the real estate ] business, even if they have to sell out to avoid d fall in values after the states have been in the union a little while. There is no likelihood that the territories will he any better or any worse off with statehood than without |

VOICE OF THE RHINocERos
Sound So Tremendous It Seems to
 Set the Whole World to Trembling.

In the course of a year l saw more than 500 rhinoceroses and the tracks of thousands, writes c. B. Shilling in Worlds Work. The sight of these gigantic beasts standing in the moon- shine on the snow-white steppes is still vivid in my memory. I have never encountered more than four at one time. though have seen as many as eight together
 Their appearance when in a sitting posture is very like the stump of a tree. While resting the rhinoceros oft en resigns himself to his feathered friends who alight upon his body and serve the double purpose of freeing his skin from parasites and giving warning of danger. It is ease of partnership between an animal with a keen sense of smell and birds with keen eyes.
 The horns of the African rhinoceros sometimes attain a length of nearly five feet, and when he lifts up his voice the whole world seems to trem- ble. The sound is so tremendous that the effect is startling in the extreme.

NEW SNAKE-BlTE ANTiDoTE
Permanganate of Potash Experiment- .s cd With in India with Good
 vha Success.

So often has the discovery of some
 alleged infallible cure for. snake bite
 been announced that it will be prudent
 to adopt a skeptical attitude toward
 the new claim put forward in the In.
 dian Medical Gazette. But facts of
 great weight are in evidence, states
 a London report, which certainly jus
 tify further and more exhaustive in-
 vestlgation. At the Royal Society
 meeting last year paper bearing the
 names of such eminent authorities as
 Sir l.. Brunton, Sir J. Fayrer and Dr.
 Rogers spoke favorably of immediate treatment with permangaxa tate of DO. ,tassium. Acting on this suggestion Dr. Rogers at once initiated a success, sion of practical experiments, and now reports the results in a dozen eases. In two instances the drug failed to neutralize the fatal poison, but many hours had elapsed before it was applied. But nine of the victims recovered, and as five had been bitten by ccbras and two by Russell's vipers an equally deadly snake-their iden- tity was proved on capture and death it certainly looks as if the perman. ganate does operate as an antidote if used quickly. The drug has the addi- tional merit of being very cheap and accessible, while the only process re. quired is to make an incision over the bite, ligature having been previously | applied to prevent the poison from and to rub in the cure with the fingers. A more scientific method is to use a special lancet. '' s"s-n |

The death of General Joe Wheeler was received in Washington, with gen uine regret and the decisian @iinnsndi-
 ately arrived at to bury him in Ar
 lington with all the honors that could
 be paid to deceased union general is
 not surprising. There was never any.
 thing better calculated to show that
 the civil war was over than the alac-
 rity with which the old confederates
 and the sons of confederates went into
 the war with Spain. Of course Gen.
 eral Wheeler, as one of tile most noted
 cavalry commanders of the south, was
 watched with particular Interest. An
 account may be given by a man who
 saw him through all of the Cuban campaign. He says: General Wheel. CT was not only a good commander bnt he had the experience and the faculty of looking after his men and seeing that his command was in shape for whatever work it was called on to do. In the climate of Cuba this was au important factor. The best command in the world could be knocked out in two days by dysentery and malaria if tue men were not forced 10 take care of themselves, and General Wheeler had just the sort of field experience 10 drive this principle home on his subal- l tern officers and men. do not know positively whether the story is true about his calling the Spaniards "Yan- kecs" in the heat of battle, but was ID near the front the evening after the first fight and tho story was going around then and was being so heartily 1 laughed over by the men that it cer. taiDly originated on the spot whether ! it was true or not. It was just after ! the American forces had cleaned ort i Kettle Hill and General Whcelcr's | cavalry command, which never saw q | horse after they left Tampa, had come ! up over the crest that inc old general is reported to have shouted so that all around heard him: We've got the Tanks going, boys. Give 'cm hell" They did.
