STUMPS

When it becomes generally known
to the travelling fraternity of the
professional Weary Willie" type
that they will be given an oppor-
tunity to assist in removing the un-
slightly stumps from the commons
and alleys, Whitefish will not be
such popular summer resort for
the gentlemen who insist on
mixing too much revelry with their
meanderings.
Henceforth, the festive "bo"
will be sentenced to the stump field.

A smoke from a smouldering fire
in some underbrush about three
fourths of mile west of town yes
terday caused little if any appre-
hension, hut as the day wore on
and the wind came up with the
sun the smoke famed into flames,
which soon began to spread, and
an investigation was made, and it
was found imperative to send all
available men to prevent it's spread as
it beganto threaten the town.
The fire bell sounded an alarm,
and 400 or 500 men were SON on
the ground with shovels, picks and
buckets to assist in fighting the fire

joining the brigade.
AS it was very difficult to reach
with water owing to the great dis
tanc1 from town, trenches were
dug and the fire line brought to a
stand, but again an again they
were forced to retreat as the
flames would break over the
trenches.
The smoke and flames looked
dreadfully threatening to those who
did not join the fire fighters, and it
was predicted that everything west
of the river was doomed, which
would mean the destruction of that
part of town in the Walker addition,
including the Somers Lumber Com
pany mill, and also the planning
mill.
The homes of D. S. Ulell and l..
NJ. Williams, near where the fire
originated, were the first to need
attention, but as the wind came up
and swerved into the southwest it
seemed to place the Walker adj
dition in the greatest danger, and
the flames came to within a few
feet of the new home of Engineer
VIM. Udell, and also near to Fire
man Burton's cottage.
Other houses in that neighbor-
hood, among them being Marshal
Metcalf's, Engineer Peter Guten-
sohn, Engineer Silas Shut, Engi-
neer Warren Jones, Richard Rob-
erts, and several other fine resiuenc-
es, including the Lake View house,
were in danger, but were saved by
the splendid work of the volunteer
fire department.
Nearly every business place in
town was closed, and liberal and
loyal spirit was shown by all those

WITCHCRAFT IN INDIA.

The belief in witchcraft is still fast
rooted In parts of India, and the un-
fortunate persons suspected of the
black art are not uncommonly done
to death.
In Bengal last year several cases

still practiced among the uncivilized
tribes OF Bengal.
In Angul some Khonds sacrificed a
girl as propitiary offering against
cholera, and in Palamau a boy was
enticed into the jungle and killed as
a sacrifice. There can be little doubt
that any relaxation of vigilence would
result in a serious increase of witch
killing and human sacrifices.

Capital Punishment.

AS a deterrent of crime. capital pun

cess its advocates have hoped. It is
so difficult TO convict of murder in
the first degree, with death as the
penalty. that criminals or men with
criminal instincts are willing to take
thelr chances. Some crimes are so re-
voting and so brutal as to make the
death penalty the only adequate pun

Shipping Day-Old Chicks.

AT first sight it would seem a diff
cult proposition to start a tender little
newly Matched chicken off on a 1000
mile journey. with any likelihood of
ITS having any stamina left on its
arrival, but the shipping of day-oId
chicks has come to be one of the
best paying branches Of the poultry
industry.
This is made possible by the fact
that chickens which are fit to sell are
strong enough to bear the strain of
travel, but they are not yet strong
enough to trample on each other;
and as newly Matched chicks require
no food for 70 hours. they can travel
a long distance without injury.
Boxes of quarter-inch lumber are
strong enough for shipping, and 100
chicks need a space about 12x24
inches, 3 inches deep. Bore air-holes
along each side near the top. For
packing material a piece Of felt or a
thin layer of hay on the bottom, and
piece Of flannel on top are all that
is necessary. Cut the flannel larger
than the box so that it will sag al
most to the heads of the chicks. This.
with the heat arising from their
bodies, will be sufficient to keep them
warm, even on long journey in win
