While that annoying in
dividual Jack the hugger
and kisser has not made his
presence felt here, yet a
mysterious person who is de-
signated as Jack the splitter
is making himself very un-
popular among the owners
of glass fronts in town.
His habit is to spit tobacco
juice on the glass and also
on the doors of business
houses. There is now an
organized effort to catch
the person and tie him to a
post on main street and
have those who pass spit on
him as a punishment for
his past offenses.

Within the last day or
two four young people from
west of Fort Pierre have
come here to be married.
One of the young couples
insisted on being united in
wedlock by the county
Judge. There was some
doubt as to whether these
couples had eloped or not,
for last spring a couple
eloped from there and were
married here only to have
the brides mother and big
brother come on in a day or
two and threaten to have all
arrested who had contribut-
ed toward the marriage of
the young people.

saving their own lumber

EYEGLASSES.
How to Put Them on and Take Them
on Properly.

How to Put Them on and Take Them
on PrOperly.
There Is nothing which more com.
pletely changes the effect of pair of
eyeglasses than the habit of crowdlng
them on the nose with one hand. The
best efforts at fitting and adjusting are
all brought to naught by a person who
has acquired that habit.
The proper way to take or glasses
Is to take hold of the bridge and lift
on gently without dragging or pulling
out of shape. To take of spectacles
take hold of the right temple with the
right hand and lift It OF the ear. Then
turn the head to the right and the left
temple will fall on easily.
The average wearer OF glasses when
he is cleaning them takes hold of the
bridge. The consequence Is that he
gradually works the bridge out Of
shape, and every rub he gives the lens
gives twist to the bridge, and In
course of time the bridge or the lens
breaks when he least expects 1t. There
are probably more glasses broken in
this way than any other.
The correct way to clean them Is to
take hold of one Of the eye pieces
where the glass is screwed on the outer
edge and clean the lens, and then re-
verse the glasses. take 1t by the other
end piece and repeat the process on
that lens.

The Law q, IN. H.n.

Investigation OF the capacity Of hens
10 lay eggs results in the discovery
that the egg production Of hens de-
creases considerably after the age OF
four years Thus hen lays at the
age Of one year about 20 eggs; at the
age OF two years, about 40; at the
age of three years. about 1876; at the
age OF four years, about 115; at the
age Of five years, about so, and at the
age Of six years, about 60. These fig
ures go to show that hens should never
be kept in the poultry yard more than
four years, for after the lapse Of this
time they do not yield a proper return
on the food they consume.

A traveller Ii venezuela gives an In

carIb fish. which are the most feroclbus
inhabitants OF the water known. The
fish are not over fourteen inches long.
but they travel in schools Their teeth
are three eornered. ANY living object
which attracts their attention is at

Of an Indian woman who entered the
water to ill a bucket. She was at
tackled by the fish and reached shore
only to die In fifteen minutes The
flesh was literally torn from her body.
Mr.. Dart. who was with Mr.. Thomp-
son. caught one OF the fish and pulled
It upon the bank. He held the cnrib

peculiar teeth With bis finger. With a
quick movement the earib- fopped odt

Elephants Delight In Dress and Cor

Elephants Delight In Dress and Cor
Eeous TrappinEs.
Elephants are passionately fond of
dnery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappings.
The native princes Of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fancifuI standards they have
erected.
For these they have made cloths OF
silk so heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing instance Of elephantine
pride is narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession Of a
rajah being III, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had
up to that time occupied only a subor-
dinate place.
The animal, delighted with its finery.
showed its glee BY SO many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gem
eral attention was attracted to IT.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer Of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded beast imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded Of his promo
ton, was with great difficulty restrain
ed from attacking the leader Of the
parade.

that there was no rhyme to Tipperary
and said so. whereupon an indignant
Irishman, who CHANGED also to be bit

poked fun at him in a lengthy poem,
every other line of which rhymed or
was supposed to rhyme with the place
In question. Thus:
A bard there was In sad quandary
To find rhyme for Tipperary
Long labored he through January,
Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary:
Toiled every day IN February,
But toiled IN vain for TIpperary:
Searched Hebrew text and commentary
But searched in vain for Tippefary.
And so on through many scores Of
stanzas. ending up with:
He paced about his aviary.
Burnt In despair his dictionary.
Blew up sky high his secretary,
And then in wrath and anger sware he

lance of almost exactly City miles
from Solo. Near the center of this
geological freak immense columns Of
soft, hot mud may be seen continually
rising and falling like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratlun

withdrawn. Besides the phenomenon
of the boiling mud columns there are
scores of gigantic bubbles of hot slime
that I'LL up like huge balloons and keen

intensity Of the detonadons varying
with the size of the bubble. In time
past, SO the Javanese authorities say,
there was a tall splrelike column Of
baked mud on the west edge of the
lake which constantly belched pure
stream of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything is
now seething mascot bubbling mud

ANAToMY o. AN OYSTER.
The BivaIve's ORGANS and Where
Thee Are Located.

They Are Located.
Every oyster has mouth, heart a
liver. stomach and other necessary
internal organs, Ircludlng set Of cum
ningly devised lntestlnes. The mouth
is at the small end of the oysters body.
near the hinge OF the shell. 1t Is oval
in shape, and. though not readily dis
covered by an Impractical eye. 1t may
be easily located by gently pushing
blunt bodkin or similar Instrument
along the folds OF the surface Of the
body at the place mentioned. Connect.
ed with the mouth Is the canal which
the oyster .lscs, in conveying food u
the stomach, from whence It passes In
to the curious little set OF Noted and
twisted intestlnes referred to in the
opening.
To discover the heart OF an oyster
the fold OF flesh which oystermen call
the mantle must be removed. This
Is fatal 10 the oyster. Of course, but in
the interest OF science and for the ben
EFT Of the curious" It Is occasionally
done. When the mantle has been re-
moved the heart. shaped IKE crescent
or horned moon, Is laid to the view.
The oysters heart is made up Of two
parts, Just like that OF human being.
one of which receives the blood from
the gllls and the other drives 1t out
through the arteries. The liver Is
found in the immediate vicinity of the
heart and stomach and is a queer
shaped little organ, which is supposed
to perform all the functions of a blood
filter.

CRUEL puNlsHMENTs.
The Old Time Csc Of Torture In Legal

The UId Time Use OF Torture IN Lesnd
Processes.
The constitution of the United States
and the constitutions Of the various
states In prohibiting cruel and unusual
punlshments were NOT lighting an abb
surdity. The use Of torture in legal
processes was not, when these instru-

now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to virginia he crushed con-
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. One had n bodkin thrust
