SHOTS NOT FATAL
NONE OF THE INJURED AT MONROE
 WILL DIE.
Louisiana City Returns to Conditions After Exeitement Caused By Negro Who Was Killed and
 Burned.

Monroe, La. Aug. 25.--Ail is quite in Monroe today after a night that car ried with it much anxiety to the local authorities.
 Following the wild rampage of the negro, William Wade yesterday. dur ing which twenty-nine people were wounded before Wade was finally killed. the entire populace remained in a state of feverish excitement until late hour last night. This was in- tensified by the serious wounding Of an unidentified negro in the east end of the city. The negro Is alleged to have said that Wade didn't shoot half enough white people. Several hours earlier another negro was shot but 1t was not proven that this affair was sequel to the Wade shooting.
 It did not become generally known until late last night that the mistake of a young clerk in @ local hardware store probably saved the lives of score or more of men. ..
 "Shucks," said the young clerk after Wade had left. "That negro asked me for buckshot and I gave him birdshot by mistake. I wonder what he is go- ing to shoot anyway" And about that time the first report of Wade's gun was heard down the street as he start ed out on his peculiar assault on the white race.
 Just how many of the twenty-nine men that Wade shot would have been killed outright had he been given buckshot instead of birdshot is a mat ter of keen speculation here today. especially among at least twenty-five of the aforesaid twenty-nine.
 Patrolman Bigger. Deputy Sherin Grant. Simon Marks and George Mo- Cormick, the more seriously wounded victims of the negroes gun, are rest ing comfortably today. Physicians now hope that all will recover, al- though complications might arise which would make any of the four cases fatal

 Fielder Jones will not manage the Washington team next year. Neither will he manage the St. Louis club, as has been announced.

I have timber interests in the northwest here that keep me busy and that also bring me in as much money as any baseball team could do. You can take 1t from me straight that will not be in Washington next year. This also goes for the yarn about me buy ing the Boston team :"

A BLUE FOX RANCH

On small island off the Alaskan
coast is a blue fox ranch. where ami
mails are bred to produce rare furs.
Started as an experiment, it is prov
ing successful In the fall of 1904 Harry
Pryde, who was living at Juneau, Alas
ka, heard that man living on an is
land near Juneau had secured a few
blue foxes and had raised small num-
Der of the animals. Knowing the scar
city of these animals and realizing the
value of their fur, he believed that he
saw an opening for profitable ven-
ture and determined to raise blue foxes
on a lareg scale for the fur market.
Pryde at once made an investigation
and selected Hound island as a suit
able site for such an enterprise. He
then leased the island from the Unit
ed States government for ninety-nine
years. This island stands a short dis
lance from Admiralty island, on which
Sitka, capital of Alaska. is situated,
and five miles from the town of Rake,
on Kupreanof island which is the
nearest port. 1t contains about 800
acres at high tide and approximately
800 acres at low tide. 1t was in the fall
of 1905 that Hound island was stocked
with twenty pairs of blue foxes. The
next spring there were ITO young foxes
on the island, and they have been in
creasing rapidly ever since. 1t is now
estimated that there are from 1000 to
1400 foxes. A fine blue fox skin is
worth not less than $3O.-Argonaut.

A N INTERESTING social expert
u ment in the line of public school
A education has been tried this
winter in some of the eastern
cities. started and supported by pri-
vate subscriptions. 1t is the ''home
and school, visiting plan, at first sug-
gested by settlement workers in 1907.
The theory is that in such an elaborate
machine as the public school system of
a large city there will inevitably come
misfits and misunderstanding between
pupil and teacher, the school and the
home. 1t was known that a great
many children were laboring under
these disadvantages, which, 1t was be-
lieved, could often be easily adjusted
the home and the school. 1t was also
seen that any teacher with sixty young
and active scholars on her hands could
not find time to make the acquaintance
of all the parents, however beneficial
she felt the result would be. The sug-
school" visitor would be just the per-
son to fill the gap, one who loved. and
understood children, and whose time
was free to follow up her cases. The
matter was brought before public
education association and the society
agreed to pay the salaries of three such
experimental workers When the
scheme was launched only few of the
most progressive school principals fav-
ored the idea, but at the request of
some of the teachers the three visitors
were allowed to begin work. Although
the plan has been in operation only a
few months. fifty principals have al
ready sent in requests that visitors"
be allotted to their schools.

OUR BABY

When days were bleak and chilly,
His eyes they We're a soft dark brown.
His name-shall It, be Billy?
"Oh, mo-" said father to the boys,
Who stood around our pet.
Were going to call his Johnnie Roys
We think that better yet"
Now would you like to hear about
The little brothers-five and seven
Who coming home when school was out
Found baby come from heaven?
The questions without number sped
Say, mother, is he rubber?''
And why is he so soft and red?
Why wrap him in that Govern
do let us take him on the sled
When we go out tomorrow;
Wen let no one. not even Fred,
Our little brother borrow
please wrap him In your furs so tight
They'll match his eyes of brown
The furs that came Christmas night,
That father sent from town.
ooh, fathers slippers, where are they?
Wen knock out every tack;
His tiny toes there warmly lay,
Wen bring him safely back
Said father, laughngly, Dear boys,
Just wait a little longer;
Another year he'll play with toys,
Then baby will be stronger.

proved it entirely to his own satisfac-

have seen the islands fairly growing

First, you must have a mattress
not a regular bed mattress, but some
thing shaped like it-sixteen feet
square, made of tangled roots and an
chored with huge boulders hung by
ropes from all sides. Then the top must
be lightly covered with sand and earth
and seeds of water-growing plants
scattered over it, together with the
palmetto and live oak. Then, just
as everything that grows in nature
must have favorable conditions of soil
and climate and location, so these
island sseeds" must be anchored where
they will catch sand and silt and the
general refuse washed about always
near land.
These particular islands seeded down
by the Florida genius were located near
a long pier which created a current
that carried the sand and silt from
the mainland straight upon the seeds
of islands, which caught and held 1t,
thus making the beginning of solid
land. Just what will materialize in the
way of solid foundation on the bed of
the bay, before the hopes holding the
anchors rot away, is yet to be shown,
but so far it Is an absolute fact that
these island seeds have already
shown such a very noticeable increase
in area above water that nobody down
there is willing to go on record as in
sisting that nature may not enjoy the
absurdity of ii enough to help along

Why feed them with metaphorical

To my way of thinking, the talk of
"beaux" should never be encouraged

from the peach and develops self-con-
seriousness where none should exist.

just as IL they were all of the same

girls are not as strong as their broth
ers, they must be treated more gently.
Let them go to dancing school and to
various entertainments together. If
you have daughters and sons, invite
your sons friends to the house and
let your girls play with them freely.
1t is comparatively easy to keep the
thought of sweethearts and love af-
fairs from the mind of the healthy,
normal boy. To use his own word, he
regards such talk as "slush." Let us
be glad that he does. for his sentiment
