How He Did IL.

Early in the morning session, when
the pupils were feeling bright and
happy, the teacher thought it good
plan to give them sentences to cor
rect, both as to grammar and sense.
She accordingly wrote on the black
board:
"The hen has four legs. He
done it."
Thoughtful little Ignatius, at the
foot of the class, pondered deeply, and
at the end of Is minutes time, allowed
tor correction, he wrote:
"He didn't done it.; God done it."

GUNNERS LOSE HEARING
"Gun Deafness" Being Discussed
In Connection With Target
Practice

Naval officers have been discussing
the question Of gun deafness among
the gunners who are to make the rec
ords at the target practice Of tins At
lantic fleet which began yesterday at
Cape Cod bay.
IL is believed by some officers that
the Navy Department has not made
adequate arrangements to protect the
gunners. Cotton is provided for the
gunners' ears.before the heavy guns
are fred, but despite this fact many
had had their hearing partially de-
stroyed by the explosions. Rcar-Ad-
miral Newton T.. Mason, chief of the
Bureau Of Ordnance, has never COM
pIetely recovered from a slight dam
age to his left ear. the result Of an
ex experience he had at the proving
grounds.
IL Is remembered that on the Rus
sian warsIlip Variag the entire person
mel not only lost their sense Of hear
ing. but also lost their powers Of
puilibrium by the firing 81 the Rus
sian guns. After the bonn baTdment Of
Port Arthur Admiral Togo was com
PEELED to send three hundred Of his
men OF his flagship To the Sassebo
Hospital for treatment. Two-thirds
Of these never returned To the Japanese
Navy. IL was this experience which
made Admiral Togo order lambs wool
for the japanese gunners at the battle
OF the sea OF Japan.

baggage man was arrested on COM
plant of Postal Inspector Fraser of
Lacrosse, charged with the theft of q
registered money package containing
about So, 900 which was in transit from

to Charity by railway mail clerk on

deliver it to clerk on the Dodgeville
branch a week ago. The package
was never delivered, Scoby saying
that it was stolen from the baggage

HARMLESS SNAKES.
They Are Valuable as Aids to the
Agricuiturist.

1t is not generally known that the
preservation of harmless snakes is as
important as the destruction Of the
hosts of pests met with in farming and
in market gardening.
The national records contain sad his
tories of the total or partial extermina-
ton of many animals which are useful
or beautiful or both
Yet there are few animals more use
full in one way than snakes. If human
fly alone prevented the killing of harm
less snakes, how can we justify it
when they are proved to be useful
to us? Consider the economic relation
of a snake to an ear of corn or row
of potatoes. Snakes live almost en-
tirely upon creatures which are de-
structive to growing things-that is,
they eat literally millions of insects,
small mammals and worms. Especial
~ are potato brgs, worms, flies, bee
ties, maggots, ants, grubs, grasshop-
pers, locusts and the larvae of these
the food of most of our snakes.
Of considerably over eighty differ
ent kinds of snakes found throughout
the United States and exclusive of the
rattlesnakes and mocassins there are
but two which can be termed danger
Gus. We exclude the rattlesnakes and
the moccasius because all are large,
easily recognized forms, which cannot
be confused with harmless kinds. Liv-
ing in water, the moccasfns are not of
ten troublesome to farming regions
and are confined to the south from
North Carolina around the gulf coast
and the Florida peninsula and along
the southern Mississippi, living in
swamps. The two really poisonous
snakes which might be mistaken for
harmless ones are the copperhead and
the coral snake.
Of the two the copperhead only
needs our attention. This truly poi
sonouS snake is slender and has few
features to distinguish it from harm
less milk snakes. 1t is found usually
in rocky hills or stone piles, old cellars
being q favorite spot. But 1t should
not be greatly feared, for unless at
tackled or stepped on it will not bite,
and it is seldom found where there is
cultivation of the ground in progress

AMERICAS MOUNTAINS.
Grander and Greater In Variety Than
the Old WORLDS.

North America has suffered shame
tiers have looked upon glacierless Colo
RADIO, the ridges bullying family above
the continental plateau; upon POpO-
catapetl and his sister titans reaching
isthmusward upon the snowy dead
craters of the Cascades, and pitied us
Americans that our lands offered
mountain sport for none but women
and old men. Volcanoes? An inferior
sort of mountain. The Appalachians?
Molehills
But on their continent are fields for
climbing greater in variety, wider in
appeal to every sort of mountaineer,
Alpinist included, than on any other of
the worlds six areas and among the

bly, the hardest in the world. The
Himalayas, with greater real eleva-
ton, have bases Of attack dfscounting-
" high, and the accepted idea that
thin air prevents climbing above $4,000
feet bars their tiptops. If South Amer
lea offers greater height and heroic
weather, Alaska requires training In q

General Sherman on War and
Morality.

The "reminiscences of Long Life"
in the November McClure's are fluff of
intimate and enlightening gossip of
the great characters and events of the
most stirring period of American his
tory. These articles might we'll have
been called "reminiscences of a Full
Life" They take the reader behind
the scenes of history and show Lincoln
in his moment of utter depression,
great generals quarreling petulantly,
Grant as peacemaker, and so on.
An interesting bit is General Sher-
mans own version of the looting of
the troops on the march through
Georgia. "The truth is" he said q,
"human nature is human nature
You take the best lot of young men
