ESKIMO is NATURE rAkER.

The Eskimo can say that he had a

porary Review. Not that he ever
talked OF wild beasts, for he had no

Of rude terms about animals. He was
inclined to credit every species with
many potential merits. The Eskimo
Is afraid-very much afraid Of bears.
Yet he Is the first to admit that the

fright at seeing a bear, and so gave
him a partridge; that bear never for.

her newly killed seals ever after. An.
other bear saved the life Of three men
who wished to reward him. He polite.

Mr. La Sale A. Maynard tells The
Story Of the seediess Orange" in The
World To-Day. Mrs. Luther C. Tib-
bits Of California obtained in 1879 four
orange shoots from the agricultural
department at Washington, sent there
By William F. Judson, American con
sui at Bahia, Brazil. They were pre-
sented to him by a native. who had
several shoots Of a seediess orange
tree growing in a swamp On the Anna
zon.
Mrs. Tibbits brought the infant
trees carefully home and her husband
planted them in the garden. One died,
another was chewed up by a predatory
COW, but two lived, and five years
later produced 16 oranges. These 16
golden globes and their immediate
successors produced results compar.
able only in value to the famous dis
covery Of another kind Of gold in
Suffers millrace, and brought fame
anu no small fortune to their lucky
owner"
The new orange could be produced
only by budding, and the first buds
sold at 81 each, and later at IS a
dozen. One box Of naval oranges was
grown in 1880; since then the annual
product has risen to 10000 900 boxes
and the two trees which the COW did
not chew have multiplied to over 4.

our losses at Cowpen.
In the Independence Day celebrations
of the past five years 1853 persons were
killed outright. Deaths from tetanus,
commonly called lockjaw, alone amount
to 772. Last year the deaths from te-
tanus were only 81, while those from
other causes amounted to 102.
There are on record the cases of
eighty-eight persons who were totally
blinded by fireworks during the past
five years; 369 who lost the sight of one
eye; S08 who lost their legs and hands,
and 1O61 who suffered losses of fingers.
OF course, these statistics do not tell
the real story. They are only figures

deaths and injuries there may have been
which have never been reported, will

The property loss from fires caused by

FOR MURDER OF SON.
GraYson County Man Is Sentenced To
Eighteen Years 10 Prison.

Lewis Wingate, son of a wealthy
farmer of Grayson county, was on last
Saturday adjudged guilty of the murder
of his eleven year old son, Roy, in the
circuit court at Independence, and his
punishment fixed at eighteen years in
the State penitentiary.
An attempt was made to prove that
the man was insane at the time of the
mistreatment of the lad, but the testi-
mony of expert alienists showed that
his mind is now and has been normally
sound.
Roy Wingate died from inhuman
treatment at the hands of his father. 1t
was shown that he had been packed in
an ice box without food by his parent
until nearly starved, and that after be-
ing released he was chained to a chest
and his teeth extracted with blacksmith
tongs, because he had eaten scraps from
a slop- bucket to appease his great
hunger.
The body of the boy was exhumed
after it had been buried, and the evil
dences of cruel treatment proved. The
little fellows body was covered with
bruises. 1t was necessary to guard
Wingate from the fury of the people
during the trial.
