FINE NATURAL HISTORY GROUP
Proof Of Deer Hunters Story Of Phil
ippine Forest Tragedy Has
Been Preserved.

A remarkable natural history group
has been presented to Gov. Gen.
Forbes by Governor Cables OF La La
guna says the Manila Times. 1t con
sists of a doe in the grip OF huge
boa constructor, buck and fawn
and its history makes a thrilling hunt
Ing tale. Some weeks ago Governor
Cables went deer hunting In the
mountains Of La Laguna. His heaters
and dogs located doe and began fol
lowing her through the timber.
Suddenly one of the dogs made a
great outcry. and hurrying forward
the governor found another hunter In
the person Of a huge boa constructor
1t had fallen upon the doe and en-
circling its body had taken a hitch
around the trunk Of sturdy tree and
was crushing 1t to death.
The game dog had charged in but
the snake pinned It against log with
it's tail and would speedily have dis
patched It. Cables closed in and with
a well directed shot to the neck killed
the constructor.
The doe was dead when the hunters
disentangled 1t from the coils Of the
huge snake.
The fawn was found hidden in some
brush and a little later the buck was
located and shot The constructor
measured twenty-one feet in length
and it's body IS very large. The buck
and doe are also large specimens and
the group Is a striking one.

For a Bride-Elcct.

SO many of my letters are from Just
the dearest girls in the world who
count themselves among the bread
winners; and every once and while
some one of them Is married, and
then all her good friends want to do
all they can In way OF showers and
wedding gifts. When such an occa-
sion comes | have many queries as to
how and what should be done. Now
this Is the way ten girls In an office
did when one OF their number was to
marry a young doctor with very little
money but splendid fellow for all
that. They called a meeting and de-
cided that at the most three dollars
apiece was all they could spare for
both wedding gift and shower, so it
resolved itself into this admirable
plan. They invited the bride-to-be to
spend Saturday afternoon with them
at the home of one OF the girls and,
when the tea was served. they pre-
sented the honored guest with a half
dozen teaspoons, a half dozen forks
and a half dozen pearlhandled knives
and told her this was her wedding
present from the ten. They selected
stock pattern, so that at any time
more silver could be added, and they
left the marking TO be done as the
bride wished. | think this was n most
sensible and satisfactory thing all
around and the combination OF funds
made fine showing, much more prac-
tical than If each girl had tried to put
her three dollars into a separate gift.

THE NAMING OF THE BABY
Parents Take Mean Advantage When
They Give Helpless Infant a Bur
densome Name.

Not long since it was chroncled
that a Des Moines babe had been
christened HALEY Comet" because It
happened to have been born during
the recent astronomical excitement
In another Iowa home fond but mis-
guided parents named their young
heir James Jeffries Corbett" some
weeks before the catastrophe to the
white race at Reno. An eastern ex
change tells of a man who went in
perpetual embarrassment through life
bearing the name Modest Flower"
These instances Of parental folly
are bad enough, but look upon this
beside which all others fade into IN
significance:
A woman in Missouri, when called
upon to give her name to an officer
of the courts. gave 1t thus; Mrs
Mary Samantha Sarah Lavinia Macy
Lucretia Henrietta Parthenia Arizona
Tabitha Dollie Welding" After the
official had recovered from his faint,
the woman explained her cognouen In
this wise: when | was born my par
ents had eight sisters. There was q
family fuss involving all Of them
when it came to naming me, so in the
end they settled the matter by nam
ing me for all of them and throwing
in a few names extra"
When parents take advantage OF n
helpless infant not more than a few
hours old to inflict upon II names that
forever afterward will be burden
and an embarrassment to it, they
take the meanest possible advantage
of which even sheep stealer should
be ashamed. There ought to be some
sort of retrbutive justice for HALEY
Comet" Modest Flower" Mary Sa-
mantha Sarah Lavinia Macy Lucretia
Henrietta Parthenia Arizona Tabitha
Dollie" and all their link. and It is a
strange commentary on the worlds
progress that 1t was not long since
provided.-Des Moines Register.

Judge Turner Holds Joint High School
District of Waterford Is
Not Dissolved.

Racine.-Judge Turner, Milwau-
kee, sitting for Judge f. b. Belden,
held that the elections on April s.,
1910, in the town and village Of
Waterford, did not result in a dis
solution of the joint free high school
district.
Judge Turner held that the con-
sent of both the village and the town
ship was necessary for a dissolution
of the district; inaSmuCh as the ma
jority of the votes in the village were
against the measure, the dissolution
had not been accomplished. The fact
that a heavy majority in the township
in favor OF the dissolution had CON
stituted majority of the votes in
both the township and village could
not be considered.
The action had been brought to
GUST the members of the board of the
joint district alleged to have been dis
solved Thus the members of the
board retain office.

CANE RUSH WON BY SOPHS
Freshmen, Vctors for a Long Time,
Come to Grief in Final En-
counter in Be'oit

Beloit.--Two hundred persons saw
the college sophomores win the cane
rush from the freshmen in the city
park. The freshmen outnumbered
the sophomores two to one, but the
latter We're too crafty and broke five
of the seven canes the freshmen
brought on the field. No one was Sc
siously hurt
The great freshman class, 1871
strong, marched upon the field with
colors flying and We're charged by the
sopohomores The girls were out in
full force, the sophomore girls beat
ing small drums.
The loss of the rush by the fresh
men astonished them. for the fresh
men have been victors for long
time. Having the canes in posses
sion gave them an advantage. The
rush was the final one Of the year,
both classes breaking even.

NO EXTRA SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
REPORT ON INDUSTRIAL INSUR-
ANCE CANNOT COMPLETED
BEFORE NOVEMBER.
TIME is TOO SHORT TO ACT
Leading Members Advise Gov. David
son That Special Session Would
Be Unwise-Recess Appointees
Are Anxious.

Madison.-Nowt that the platform
conventions have come and gone it is
generally conceded here that there
will be no extra session of the legis-
iature this fall.
Gov. Davidson has let it be known
all along that he was prepared to
call session as soon as the special
committees appointed at the last reg
ular session were ready to report,
but only a few of them have their
reports completed and Senator San
born, chairman of the committee on
industrial insurance, one OF the most
important subjects turned over to
committee at the regular session, has
informed members of his committee
that it will be impossible to get the
industrial insurance report ready be-
fore the middle OF November.
AS the next regular session will
then be less than sixty days distant,
it is regarded as altogether improb-
able that a special session will be
called. In fact, it is known that lead
ing members of the present senate
have informed the governor that
they would not attempt to pass such
important measures as would come
before the special session in the lin
tied time at their disposal. They are
agreed that it would be better to let
the matters entrusted TO special com
mittees go over to the coming regu-
lar session.
Many of Gov. Dayidson's appoint
ments were made at the close of the
last regular session and hence are
6imply recess appointments. 1t had
been expected that these would be
taken up for confirmation at the spe-
cial session, If one were called, and
the friends of some of the imperlled
officeholders have been urging the
governor to call such a session in
order to permit action on these APP
pointments 1t is now evident that
even If a special session We're called
the present senate Is so constituted
that confirmation in some cases at
least would be doubtful, hence this
pressure upon the governor has been
relieved. The legislature of 1911
will start work with heritage of
most important subjects left over
from the legislature of 1909, for leg
islating upon which all Of the neces-
sary data has been gathered and
carefully digested.
