THE GAllLARO MURDER.


AWo members OF Cole BROTHERS, Cir
Gus Crew Write the "BillbOart"
!. That They Saw the shooting and
Know Who Killed Tcd Gaillard-
Say Spiveus h Innocent.
The mystery that enshrouds the
murder OF Ted Gailiard at Manning
on the night Of October 5th of last
year, has never been cleared up. the
trial OF George spivens. white. and
Jack McCoomei. coiored. having
served rathcr to puszle and further
mystify those who had sought most
earnestly and diligently for q clue
that would lead to apprehension and
punishment Of the man who nred the
ntal shot. That the murderer was
member Of Cole Brothers circus was
the only well established fact. but It
svss strongly suspected that the mur-
dsrsr was well known to other men,
bers Of the circus crew and that they
did everything within their power to
shield him. to aid him to elude arrest.
and thus to throw the officers OF the
track.
spivens and McCoomer were arrest
ed on suspicion. and at their trial the
evidence was oircumstantial and so
conflicting In many particulars that to
. great many II seemed that case
vas not made out against either Of
them---csrtainly not against both.
Nevertheless they were both found
guilty with q recommendation to mer-
cy. and sentenced TO life imprison-
msnt Yet II has always been felt
thar the whole truth was not brought
out ~ the trial and that there were
men connected with the Cole Broth
sss' circus who knew all about the
murder arid that they could. were
thsy 90 minded. point out the mur-
devsr and free Spivens and McCoom-
sr. In confirmation OF this belief

FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, Bnt Health al Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-
Gus, who suffer from indigestion or dys-
pepSla, headache, biliousness, or torpid
liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in
sae morning and poor appetite, it be-
comes necessary to turn to some toxic or
strengthener which will assist Nature
and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into it's proper condition. 1t
IS becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants
and roots
Nearly forty years ago, DIR. r. Pierce,
now consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. T., discovered that by scientifically
extracting and combining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce medicine which was marvelously
efficient in curing cases of blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as well as
many other chronic, or lingering all
ments. This concentrated extract of
Natures vitality he named vGolden Med
deal Discovery" 1t purifies the blood by
putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation of food which
feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak
stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, or bill
iousness, and kindred arrangements.
Ii you have coated tongue, with bitter
or bad taste in the morning, frequent
headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches
or pain in side, back gives out easily and
aches, belching of gas, constipation, or
irregular bowels, feel flashes Of heat al
ternating with chilly sensations or kim
dred symptoms, they point to derange-
ment of your stomach, liver and kidneys,
which the "Golden Medical Discovery :"
will correct more speedily and perma-
nently than any other known agent. Con-
fains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs.

Queer Chinese Belief.

1t is a common belief among China
men that if one commits any crime
against certain animals-cats, for eX-
ample-the soul of that animal will
take possession of the wrongdoer until
the offense has been purged. A serv-
ant girl. according to the oriental tale,
unmindful of tradition, put to death a
cat and it's three kittens. She was
taken violently i'll. Her mistress, sus-
pecting the cause from the fact that
the maid was scratching and mewing,
apostrophized the body of the dead
cat, demanding to know why it thus
tormented the girl. The spirit of the
cat, speaking by way of the girls
mouth, denounced the quadruple muir
der. The whole story was told by the
girl in the character of the cat. Then
she expired in violent commissions.

THE TONGUE OF 4 BIRD.
an Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species.

Nn Or9an when Vafie1 Much In the
Different Species.
Few people have given thought to
the subject of BIRDS tongues. Many,
even OF the amateur bird students,
know little of the literature on the
subject and still less from personal OBJ
servation
Birds must use their bills as hands,
and to some extent the tongues supple
ment such use Thus nut and seed
eating birds extract the kernel from
the shell, which is cracked between
the mandibles.
The full complement of bones of the
tongue consists Of eight. The shape
varies considerably in different species,
and the comparative size very much
more, although there is a prevailing
general resemblance. The size and de
velopment of the various bones con-
troll the shape and utility Of the organ
Well developed front bones mean
thick, feshy tongue, such as we find
in members Of the duck family, while
small forward bones usually accom-
pany a small tongue Of less Importance
to the owner, sometimes little more
than rudimentary, like that Of the pei
lean
Among such birds as have occasion
to protrude the tongue well beyond the
tip Of the bill the hind bones are mar
velously developed and greatly elon-
gated, for these are the bones on which
the tongue is hung.
The edges of the tongues Of most
birds are more or less fringed, this fea-
! ture being most noticeable in thin
tongues. Most birds have greater or
less number of papillae-small feshy
projections, spinelike in appearance
and usually inclined backward-on the
upper. surface Of the tongue. These
are of service in working the food
backward toward the throat.
Some Of the sea birds have very SIM
pie tongues, which serve but little pur-
pose. The tongues of the honey creep
ers have very fine and long feathering,
while those of the woodpecker are long,
slender and pointed, and the roots of
some species curve clear around the
back Of the SKULL up over the crown,
and their tips rest at the base Of the
upper mandible. With the exception
Of the sapsuckers the tongues of wood
peckers are capable of great protru-
sion, and the tip is barbed. The sap
suckers, however, instead of having
sharp, barbed tongues like those Of
other woodpeckers, have brushlike
tongues as a result Of the degeneration
Of the bristles on their surface into
hairs standing out from the tongue
rather than pointing backward,
Birds with long bills do not always
have correspondingly long tongues.
The kingfshers, with their dispropor
tionately large bills, have short tongues.
The outer edges Of the very long
tongues of humming birds are closely
rolled up into two tubes lying side by
side, by means of which the birds are
enabled to suck the nectar from flow
ers.-New York Post

The Ostrich.

In it's habits, methods Of life and
prejudices the ostrich is one of the
most curious creatures of the animal
kingdom. 1t cannot be tanned, though
1t is easily trained to harness. When
taught to race it seems to delight in a
brush on the track or road with a
horse. The gait of the ostrich is a
numbering sort Of jog trot, which be-
comes delightfully."- easy when the bird
is travelling fast. Unhampered with
rider and travelling with the wind
this muscular creature can outstrip
any horse.

ANIMAL EPlcUREs.
The Crab Eating Raecoon and Peeul-
lar Crustacean Taste.

The Crab Eating Raecoon and Pecui.
lar Crustacean Taste.
What made the crab eating raccoon
first take to his queer diet? The
question is suggested by a specimen Of
this strange animal which has arrived
at the menagerie and will be happy to
oblige any generous visitor with an
illustration Of the quickest way to kill,
unshell and swallow crustacean with
out artificial assistance Of any kind.
Doubtless the popularity originated In
the shore frequenting habits of the
species, and, being a delicate feeder,
the succulence of the crab, once crack
ed, was an obvious inducement to re-
new his acquaintance on every posi-
bic occasion. Originally probably
fruit eater, the raccoon is 1nquisitive
and dainty, both strong incentives to
experiments in diet. When an indi-
vidual sees small object he does not
understand, his actions fall under
three headings. He first puts the
article to close scrutiny, both with his
eyes and that supercilious upturned
nose Of his; then he takes it away and
washes tia very characteristic action
OF this water loving animal-and final
~ puts 1T to the grand test of eatable-
ness or otherwise. If it appears I'M
palatable, he gives it to his wife. In
this way it is easy to imagine how the
creek loving coon, wearying Of too
much fruit, made his first crab supper
and, though he has never been able to
add a squeeze of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be-
come confirmed lover Of crustacea
ever since. All creatures make expert
ments of the sort and occasionally car
~ them on until they become a fixed
habit, and their whole structure is
modified in accordance. Nature, for
instance, never intended the osprey to
live on fish. 1t was the temptation Of
an old world trout in difficulties in
the shadows that first led the great
haWk astray. Some small Brazilian
monkeys, again, live almost exclusive
~ on BIRDS eggs, an Australian parrot
mas given up proper vegetarian diet
for an exclusive regimen of mutton.
and many other instances Of the same
unorthodox appetites might be cited.

SPONGE FISHERS.
The Greek Girl Divers Of the Island of
AimIa.

Hnla.
s'We were cruising in the Mediter-
ranean in the late fall" said a globe
trotter, land on a golden afternoon we
stopped beside little fleet of sponge
divers. Nearly nude, the divers sat on
the edge Of the boat They held big
stones that would help them descend.
One at a time they inhaled three or
four long breaths and then plunged
with their great stones into the blue
water.
zone boat interested us. It's divers
seemed so graceful and young. We
drew nearer, and, by Jove, the divers
were all girls. They were young Greek
girls from Himla, an island near
Rhodes. It seems that in Himla the
sponge diving is carried on by girls
altogether. These girls seemed very
expert. Their dark hair knotted on
their shapely heads, they reclined on
the sun warmed deck till their turn
came. Then, graceful as stage dan
GERS, they leaped overheard and in the
seas dim green depths tugged at the
black sponge growths.
"The captain said the Himla girls
were not permitted to marry till they
had brought a certain quantity Of
sponges from a certain specified
depth."-New York Press.

Elephants Can Carry a Grudoe.

A Hindoo mahout was employed with
working elephant in Bangkok, Siam,
and frequently used a steel goad in de
fiance of all warnings. The result was
that his elephant made frequent at
tempts to kill him, and finally the man
was discharged. Nearly four years
afterward, by a most remarkable coin
cidence, both elephant and mahout met
again in Maulmain, Burma, and no
sooner was the big tusker out Of sight
Of the sawmill and well into the forest
than he curled his trunk up backward,
seized his old prosecutor by the neck,
hurled him to the ground, and In an
instant mighty forefoot had crushed

BRAIN AND BULLET.
What Happens When the Skull Is
Pierced by Shot.

Pierced by a Shot.
The results of firing a bullet at a
fiat brittle bone and into a soft sub
stance like the brain are very different.
The bone Is pierced, and the lateral dis
placement Of its particles is very slight,
but the brain is thrown aside in all di-
rections. The difference is due to the
different degree Of cohesiveness of the
particles composing the two bodies or,
in other words, to the greater fuidity
Of the softer structure.
Next, the Importance Of fluid con-
tents in intensifying the effects of a
bullet fired through closed recepta-
Gle is shown by one of Kocher's expert
ments. Two identical tin canisters
were filled with equal quantities of
lint, which in one was dry and In the
other saturated with water.
A bullet Of moderate velocity fired
through them simply perforated the
dry one, but caused the wet one to
burst explosively Kocher also filed
a skull with water and found that a
bullet fired through it caused bursting
Of the sutures
Very remarkable is the shattering
that results when skulls that have been
filled with water or with wax are
treated in this way, and if they are
compared with others showing the eff
fects of bullet wounds under normal
conditions it is easy to appreciate that
the variations presented are depend
ent, in part at least, upon the differ
ence in the character Of the contents
