was seriously, though not necessarily
fatally, shot by Parrot Milan, Q
young white man, the son Of Jas.
Milan of the county. The entire
load of shot from double-barrel
breech loader took effect in the fac&
and head of Mr.. Irby, fearfully tear
ing the scalp and fracturing the skull
slightly. 1t Is not thought that any
of the shot entered the head and the
chances of recovery are good, al
though at this time it is impossible to
state the outcome.
Young Milan was arrested BY
Sheriff Owings a short while after the
shooting; he was met in the ROAD
near his home. Milan Is in 1ail
awaiting the result of the wounds.
It Is possible that bail will be applied
for before Judge Shipp, who will ar
rive in the city tomorrow. -
It seems that there has been bad
blood between Mr.. Irby and the
Milan family for some time. Yes
terday AFTERNOON, MI. lrDy was f0-
turning from Sunday-school his little
girl in the buggy with him. As they
were passing the Milan home, young
Parrot Milan came walking out OF
the house with his shotgun in hand.
Don't shoot my child" said Mr.
Irby, bending slightly sideways to
shield the child from the leveled gun.
Milan fired and the load was re-
ceived in the face and head. Mr.. Irby
is receiving careful medical atten-
tion and there may be chance for
recovery. =.

Prefers Death to Shame.

Greensboro, N. c., Nov. 9.-The
dead body of Maggie Poe, about %
years old, was found this afternoon
at Lake Willifeng, near the Guilford
battle-ground, about six miles from
the city. There was considerable
mystery surrounding the case for
some time, but which was later
cleared up by the body being identi-
fed by friends of her father, who is
a well-to-do farmer near Siler City.
The girl left two letters, one to her
mother, the other to a young man
with whom she had been intimate,
the latter generating it's recipient
from all blame for her act. The
suicide was declared in her letter to
be because of fear of publicity and
shame which must result within
short time.

AN INNOVATION IN ROADS.

During the last few years much in
terest has been taken in the crusade
for good roads, and in many parts of
the country model stretches of high
way have been constructed by good
roads commissions to serve as exam
pies to the natives of each locality.
Much valuable instruction has been
impaired in this manner, but appar-
emily no plan discovered for overcom-
ing the difficulties of road building in
sandy soil. 1t remained for Min
nesota man to adopt new method of
construction suitable for such con-
dition.
George w. Cooley, State highway
engineer of Minnesota, has designed
a road that is serviceable in spite of a
sandy foundation. A section of his
new construction is located at Cam
bridge, in Isanti county. In this dis
trict there is nothing but sand for a
top soil, and it is impossible to pre-
serve a road without adding some
other material. Mr.. Cooley finally
decided that sawdust was the compo-
nent necessary, and a four-inch layer
of this was raised into a stretch of
road which had been carefully graded.
Passing teams thoroughly ground to-
gether this mixture, and whenever
ruts were worn into the surface they
were filled with fresh sawdust. The
fine particles of wood gradually rot,
forming a heavy loan with the sand,
and the result is a firm roadbed, suit
able to all ordinary fic.-Hazpe,' S

WOODCRAFT.

A Canadian Indian, states a con-
temporary, never loses his way in the
woods, being always able to find his
road over a route once followed by
him and also to penetrate forests that
he has never seen if only another In
dian shows him the general course in
a rough draft on piece of bark.
Indians display marked ability in
communicating with one another in
the woods. They telegraph by means
of smoke, and it is astonishing how
far off they can scent Railways long
time before they can see it or could
hear a sound from its vicinity. IF
they expect to be followed by another
party they stick a piece of wood in
the ground on a portage, slanting it in
the direction in which they are travel
ing. Those who find it will know by
the degree of inclination whether they
who planted it are travelling hurriedly
or not.
If it be in summer, small bough
or piece of shrub is fastened to the
stake, and by the extent to which it
has become withcred those who find
it will know when it was placed there.
If a hunter, as very often happens,
has to make a detour or to remain be-
hind his squaw in search of game, she
will occasionally indicate the route
she has taken by sticks placed in the
ground, to which she has attached a
small portion of her skirt.

COUNTING POSTAL CARDS.

OF the many interesting machines
employed by the government in its
daily work there may be mentioned
those used for counting and tying
postal cards into small bundles. These
machines are capable of counting 500, :
900 cards in ten hours and wrapping
and tying them in packages of twenty
five each. In this operation the pa
per is pulled off drum by two long
fingers which emerge from below, and
another finger dips in vat of mucil-
age and applies itself to the wrapping
paper in precisely the right spot.
Other parts of the machine Irvine the
paper round the pack of cards, and
then a thumb presses over the spot
whereon the mucilage has been ap-
Piled, whereupon the package is
thrown on a carrying belt ready for
delivery.-1Ninneabolis Journal.

EATING TOO MUCH.

1t is an acknowledged fact that al
most every soul of us eats too much.
The digestive organs are constantly
overstrained and finally weakened.
When wisely followed, the practice of
fasting can be most beneficial. An
expert on the food question has said
that Que should rise from the table
with the feeling Of hunger, which is
an experience known to very few of
us. On the contrary, the majority of
people leave the board with sense of
burden which only an hours siesta
can alleviate. This is not so much
owing to the fact that the food is uu-
commonly rich, for the rule of the
simple life obtains now in the fashion
able cuisine, but it is the quantity
taken. There is a large community
at the present moment which fasts
from breakfast time till dinner at
night. 1t is a question if it is wise
to leave the stomach entirely without
food during all those hours, but there
is no question that the lighter the
lunch taken the better will be the
health of the individual. Bya tight
lunch in this instance is meant what
most people would not call lunch at
all-that is to say, few crackers with
cheese "a much maligned article of
diet, few nuts and bit of fruit or
a cup of cocoa with dry toast. Such
a feast" prevents the craving for
food and in no way taxes the diges-
tive organs. Over nutrition is just
as harmful as malnutrition and is far
more frequently the cause of maladies.
With judicious fasting the system re-
covers its lost tone, and mental work
ers would find that the brain worked
with surprising lightness, for the brain
is one of the chief sufferers from over
eating.-N. Y. Ame7Ioan.
