1t is one of the perversities of hui
man nature that everybody is "agin"
something. When the automobile was
rare and disobedient most of us were
inclined to throw stones at it. Since
then there has been time for a class
of pro-automobile outlaws to grow up,
who try to defeat the cunning hand
of the law. The officers set traps for
overspeeding cars, and the lawless
Turk outside the traps to warn the
drivers. Some of these warmers are
secret agents of automobile associa-
lions, paid to give the warning, but
others are merely specimens of
chronic opposition; they take pleasure
in beating anybody, even Jealous
town constable. Soon there will
arise another opposition of warmers to
warn the constables when the warmers
are warning the automobiles.

CONVICTION. LOUISIANA
Turkeys New Railroad.

While Turkey is in the throes of
political commissions it may be well to
recall the fact that she also is getting
in condition to make material ad
vancement. One of the most impor-
tant contributions to the facilities
which promise well for, the future is
the Bagdad railroad, which penetrates
section that offers great induce
ments for trade. The line will be 525
miles long and will open up an i'm
mense area, touching many prominent
points in that quarter. and among
other places making Damascus and
Mecca much easier of access. Amer
lean Consul Harris, writing from
Smyrna, gives interesting particulars
about the road, and in conclusion says:
The difficult parts of the undertaking
will be over after the Euphrates is
crossed. 1t is estimated that the 81
miles of tunnel, viaducts and bridges
will average from $155,000 to $185, 1000
per mile. This heavy expense will be
compensated by the relatively low
cost of the level parts. The build
ing OF these four sections must be
done in seven years. The cost of the
525 miles of railway will amount to
about $45,000,000. The Bagdad rail-
way will help the commercial, indus
trial and agricultural development of
the immense territories through which
1t will run, and will furnish outlets for
the mineral wealth of the regions
traversed." The road is built by for
eign capital, of course. and will be
under foreign management. But it
means great deal in the way of i'm
proving the advantages of Turkey, and
should open the way to the traders
of the nations, including the United
States.

Marriage Failures.

The real reason why SO many mar.
rfages are unsuccessful is that SO few
husbands marry the right wives and
vice versa. They marry from propin-

mistake for ia grande passion" for

Why Revolving House Got In Married Mans Dsfavor Crops Out

Despite the fact that George Brace,
pioneer in the revolving house school
of architecture, was compelled by his
wife to hotfoot it around the lawn in
search of his front porch, William Rel
man, a jeweler Of Chatham, n j.. is
going to build one Of these contrap-
tons. Reinan's house, like Braces,
will be built so it can swing around to
catch the breeze in summer and avoid
1t in winter.
Wesley Bond. a carpenter, tells very
simply how Brace's house was built
and WHIT would never have done for
some married men. He says: SIS
'.Tbe house, was swung on turnta-

bic. which was turned from the dining
room. Brace was ingenious, and he
combined the dining room table with
the wheel, so that he could use the
wheel for table at meal hours and
for wheel when he wanted to turn
the house around. But Brace found It
inconvenient. He would come home
somewhat overweight at times, and
Mrs. Brace, when she heard him com
ing, would turn the house around. The
rest of the night he would spend chas-
ing the front stoop Finally he sent
for me, and we plugged up the turn
table.

TOWN PUMPS LETTER.

feet, and four legs The latter are
composed Of bone and muscle and are
among his best life preservery. The
hunter that makes deer hunting
successful must learn by experience
the nature of the animal. Of course
most any one at certain times can be
successful in bagging a deer, but the
hunter who can go III the woods where
deer are educated by being hunted
year after year, during the open sea-
son, must be onto his job If he makes
success of the deer hunt.
A deer's nose is his best friend and
does more in protecting life than all
else whether acquired or natural.
There are days when smoke from
chimneys will fall to the ground and
those are the days when the amateur
will bag his game if he covers ground
sufficient to find it, for he will find
his game stupid on such days.
Most all men who have hunted birds
with dogs will tell Of the days when
their dog, however good he is or how
ever we'll he may hunt, on these
particular days he is worthless, and
will run into covey of birds without
knowing they are there, and often is
whipped for such, but does not inten-
tionally flush these birds. It Is only a
day when scent, like smoke, goes to
the earth.
The deer has gift that no other
animal known by your humble servant
has, which IS that they while young
have no scent by which animals such
as dogs, wolves and bear can track
them. While the spots are vet on the
fawn, the dog with the keenest
smeller cannot trail it. Now, who
will say that there is not Being who
notes the sparrow fall. When deer
are in parks the fawn must be pro-
tected from the full grown bucks or
they will be killed. The hand of the
Creator. is here seen again, for the
nose of the adult deer cannot ferret
out the place where the gifted
mother has hidden her young. She
separates her young as soon as they
are born and is always on the alert for
-intruders such as male deer, dogs,
wolves or man and will show herself
in case intrusion is near, and will lead
the enemy far away it possible.
The deer cannot be poisoned. They
are not carnivorous, but will eat
nearly. everything that grows out of
the earth, or in 1T. Deer are very
hearty eaters, one common sized deer
eating as much as COW. Deer must
yield to the settler and go back into
mountains or other land that Is unfit
tor the husbandman. It seems that
IAN All-wise Creator put such things
on earth for the use of things He
made after His own image, and under
proper protection will last as long as
will the human being.
Deer are not plentiful in Morrison
county and are considered luxury
dead or alive. A citizen of Morrison
county has a young deer that he
wished to domesticate, and made
application to the game and fish
commission to that effect, but was
told that under the law Of 1905 they
COULD not give permits to keep deer
A game warden and a sheriff were
sent to this mans home, but after
learning the facts about the deer did
mot make any arrest. neither did they

about 1000 feet away. They hurried
to the pier, where in terror they scram-
bled out Of the boat. The shark, for
such the fish proved to be, followed
them and Immediately mounted part
way into the boat, where he began de-
vouring great quantities Of fish in
single mouthfuls
The fishermen hurriedly secured a
shark. hook, which they threw in with
the fish. The shark, after mouthful
or two, took the hook into his mouth
along with several fish and swallowed
It.
A crowd Of people had gathered
by this time, and all lent hand in
pulling the monster in, where he was
placed on exhibition.
