Walker OF Hot Springs, S. D. At

now gives all his time to hospital
work. He says that last year he
"performed over three hundred oper-
atoms; this year. so far, over four
hundred operations" and out OF the
four hundred cases, he has has "but
one death from operation" A re-
markable record surely. The leatlet

every one who sympathizes with sut-
fering humanity. 1t tells US that the
management of the hospital is entire

CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY
Concluding Exercises at PlainVilla To-Day
 Everyone Pleased With Results

Especial to the Journal and CourierO
 Camp Grounds, Plainville, July B. This will be the closing day of this years Chautauqua assembly and all who have attended the gathering are unanimous in the opinion thatthe week has been a most successful one and productive of great results. The wea- ther has been excellent and in fact ev- erything has gone so smoothly and pleasantly that those attending regret the end is so near. The only class meeting today, will be in the Nature Study, where Professor Clute will talk on "A bit of Green Paint" Professor Clute talked to the nature students yes- terday morning on Flowers andtheir Insect Guests" In part he said that when we see insects visiting the flow CTS. we rarely appreciate the marvel ous ways in which insects and flowers are adjusted to each other. Without dougt there are many insects that would die if their favorite food, plants, were destroyed; while it is equally cer- Ldln IIldL NGl lOhS opCSiSS OA RAeNiASS AS pend absolutely upon the insects for their existence. Nor do we realize the amount of energy the bees expend up~ on the flowers. Last year the domes- ticated bees of United States produced 125, ,OO0 pounds of honey. Since this was carried to the hives in a diluted state, the actual weight must have been nearly double this. The lecturer showed how the flowers have become adapted to the visits of insects, des- criblng many ways of protecting the honey from rain and small marauding insects, such as ants. Almost all the devices that man has evolved to pro- tect his treasures have been paralleled by plants. Plants, the speaker f'aid, have become adapted to the visits of insects because they desire cross-fertl- lization which produces stronger and more variable seedlings. These seed- lings are then better able to battle with other plants for possession of the
 soil.

It did not keep drinking men In, but made the total abstainer a beer drinker, and sent him out with the hard drinkers to outside saloons. When the canteen had been estab- lished at the post for a year or more almost every man there had formed the habit of beer drinking.

FOUR sKuNrxs AT ONE SHOT.
Two That Were Not Hit Showed Fight,
 But Were Soon Dispatched.

AluN NNAC SoVA DASPtAh~AEAe
 Collinsville, July 2S.-John Ar chambeault is the hero of Huckle- berry Hill, having entered into battle single-handed with six skunks and killed all the creatures, before he nn- ished his slaughter.
 For some time Huckleberry Hill has been mecca for skunks and the chicken population has been steadily undergoing extermination. The skunks would visit hencoop and kill any, where from half dozen to twenty chickens. Archambeault approached his hencoop Sunday night and smelled skunk. He went to the house and got a shotgun. He returned and looking through the door saw six big fat skunks sitting in semi-circle, their backs toward him. They were evident ly holding council of war and plan ming method of attack.
 This is where Archambeault came in. He shot into the bunch and says four of the skunks died without so much as the tremor of an eye-winker. The other two he describes as sassy devils" and says they came for him. Pluckily he stood his ground, shoot ing one of the animals at his feet. The sole survivor showed fight and Archambeault says he could count the fellows teeth. The gun was empty, but Archambeault knocked the skunk into corner with the butt end of the gun, loaded the gun and put a charge of shot into the animals vitals.
