Last Chance.

Captain John q. Pillsbury said the
other day in Washington of recruit

tried the fellow first at 500 yards,
and he failed to come within mile
of the target. Then he tried at 800
yards, then at 200. then at 100, and
his last shot was worse, II possible,

Another wlrelegg telephonIc feat

Another wireless telephone feat
has just been accomplished by the
Amalgamated Radio Telegraph Com
pany, of Berlin, Germany. Perfect
communication was obtained over
fifty miles on land between the COM
pany's laboratory. near Berlin. and a
small station at Juterbog. This feat
is regarded as all the more remark
able since the whole city, with its
multitude of disquleting influence, in
tervened. It is said that this long
distance communication without wires
was achieved by using the underfed
and continuous waves generated by
the Poulsen system, and that ques.
tions and answers were exchanged
without interruption.

A POETS VISION.

For years the poet Francis Thomp-
son had been one OF the Sub
merged" selling matches, calling
cabs, anything to obtain the pence
necessary to buy food. At last he
yielded to despair and having for
some days saved up all he could earn
he devoted 1t to the purchase of
single dose of laudanum sufficient to
end his troubles. With this he re-
tired at night to his haunt, the yub-
bish plot in Covent Garden Market.
Then by his own narrative the follow
ing incident occurred. He had al
ready taken half the fatal draught
when he felt hand upon his arm,
and looking up saw one whom he
recognized as Chatterton forbidding
him TO drink the rest, and at the
same instant memory came to him
OF how, after that poets suicide. a
letter had been delivered at his lodg-
ings which II he had waited another
day would have brought him the re-
lief needed.
1t happened SO with Thompson,
for after infinite pains the editor of
a magazine who had accepted and
printed an essay and a poem of his,
but could not discover his address,
had that very morning traced Thomp-
son to the chemists shop where the
drug was sold. and relief for him was
close at hand.--From the Academy.

Rose Rosettcs Retnrned.

There is return to the rose ro-
settes for hat and dress trimming,
and these are not nearly so difncult
to manufacture as are the genuine
rosettes. The material is cut on the
bias, then folded around and around,
beginning in the middle, until one
reaches the desired size. Silk, satin,
gauze and chiffon are appropriate
materials, and. in addition to being
used as hat trimming. evening frocks
are most successfully decorated with
them. They catch waist drapery,
hold lace iounces and sometimes An
ish the ends of ribbon strands.

Favorite Hat Trimming.

A favorite trimming for handsome
hats is the uncurled ostrich feather
in boa effect. This is wound around
the crown of the hat in very grace
full fashion, and is often completed
by an ostrich feather pompon. The
latter, however, is not always used.
The boa effect can be combined with
floral trimmings or a long plume can
be substituted.

SRUCKERS ON MOVE
EIGHTEEN CARS OF THEM PASS

A special train in three sections of
eighteen cars each, carrying over
1000 oyster shuckers, arrived in At
lanta from Baltimore over the South
ern railway late Saturday night and
hurried right on to New Orleans over
the tracks of the West Point route.
This is the largest movement of this
kind in the history of the south, and
has occasioned considerable comment
in the cinder colony.
Apparently the prospects for oys-
tiers must be exceptional this winter
so far as the Gulf is concerned, for
never have there been so many
shuckers moving southwark. 1t is
expected that the close of the sea-
son will find upward of 5000 of these
workers employed in the many fac
tories in Louisiana for the exciting
work of separating the coy and re-
luctant bivalve from his shell, pre-
paratOry to his being canned and

and there really seemed to be about
three babies in arms to every female,
some of these mothers being very

AS a result there has been such
a chorus of bowling on the part of
all the little shuckers. and such a

Hearing Noise Like a Campaign

Snake in a ThiCket.

John Walters of Bloomfield, n j..
man of sobriety and veracity, was
chased by a fat snake with whiskers
al the way through the old Morris
Pond Swamp, near that place, yester-
dav afternoon, and he says he might
have been running yet had not the
reptile showed a reluctance to emerge
upon the main street, where the
beauty and chiyalry of Bloomfield
we're on parade.
Although the only witness of the
adventure was his dog Mr.. Walters
is willing to furnish plans and speci-
fcations of the snake from the look
he got of it before it began to pur-
sue him. He declares that it was
more than six feet long and as big
around as an automobile tire. He
will also make an affidavit as to the
whiskers, which, he says, were gray,
along in years, ana worn like fringe
around his chin, after the fashion
affected by Irish comedians.
Mr.. Walters went into the swamp

game and was in the heart of it
when he heard a noise like a cam
paign orator. Knowing that there
we're no steam pipes in the wood
he penetrated a thicket and came
upon the snake rearing itself in the
air with rabbit in it's mouth.
The rabbit was struggling to es-
cape, but in moment or two the
make swallowed it. Then, evidently
annoyed at being interrupted at din
ner, it turned on Mr.. Walters and
