OBEYING ORDERS.

In one of the companies of a Wis consin militia regiment are two stu dents of Lawrence college who are studying for the ministry. While the regiment was at Camp Douglass this summer some of the boys of the com pany thought to have little fun at the expense of the two ministers. When the beer, which someone had sent to the regiment as a treat. was to be served they asked their captain if the two ministers might serve it.
 He said they might. The boys were jubilant, and served notice of their new duty to the two students.
 One of them refused to have anything to do with it, but the other-Private Keithe-took the notice. which read. "The beer must be served on the grounds, and no man must get drunk. and said he would obey it.
 He went to his lieutenant and asked him if the company might be held at parade-rest while he served the beer. He was assured that it should be done. Private Keith then rolled the keg up in front of his company. knocked out the bung and let the beer out on the ground. When it had all run out, he

STRIPPED FROM LIVE REPTILE
oIaboiIcaI Cruelty In the Method BY
Which Snake Skins Are
Obtained.

Very few Of the people who are the
proud possessors OF belts. pocket
books. card cases and numerous other
articles Of snakeskin. realize the
agony that the demand of civilization
for fads has meant to the original
owners Of the material from which
these articles are made. says con-
tributor to Popular Mechanics.
It is difficult to skin dead snake,
and the skin is often spoiled in the
course OF the operation. while. on the
other hand. 1t is simple matter to
skin a live snake. and the skin thus
gained is worth much more. Dead
snakes bring from two to 1--WE cents,
according to their size. and live ones
from 25 cents to one dollar.
One Of the largest snakeskin com.
panies has factories In Sumatra. When
- snake is received from a hunter II
Is seized adroitly by an operator. one
hand squeezing the neck and the 9TH
er holding the tail. II Is then at.
tached by the neck to the trunk Of
a palm tree. an assistant holding II
by the tail. With the point of knife
the operator cuts the skin just below
the head. and. pulling with all his
strength. peels 1t from the writhing
reptile in the same way that woman
pulls a pair Of gloves from her hand.
While this is taking place the assist
ant holds the body as rigid as pos
sible. The skinned reptile writhes in
agony for nearly an hour before It
expires.

Oliver sat down on a log apparently
engaged in tightening his ak head.
In reality he was watching Dave

OF the mallet rang out on the frosty
air and he was conscious of nothing
but the fear that his victim would be

walked evenly on, scarcely lifting his
eyes. Then the tree swayed. trem-

The "Third Deuree."

The infiiction of what is commonly
called the third degree" is reported
to have been successful In elicitlng
a confession In one of the latest muir
der cases In this vicinity. There will
therefore be expressions OF satisfac-
ton at the prompt detection OF muir
derer and the probable avoidance OF q
tedious and costly trial.
There are. however. those who will
wish to have It carefully considered
to what extent this police process re-
sembles torture. In old times II was
common practice to extort confess
sions by means OF excruciating tor
ments. That is forbidden in civilized
countries to-day. Yet, according to
the accounts given by those who prac-
tice 1t, this third degree" is in many
cases as agonizing as the rack or iron
boot
The practice is regarded by some as
in fact compelling men to testify
against themselves, which is repug-
nant to our system of jurisprudence:
nor does 1t matter whether the self
inculpating testimony is secured un.
der threats, under torture or through
trickery.
In theory. the third degree" bust
ness seems to be indefensible. In
practice its results may now and then
be gratifying. If a desirable result is
gratifying when attained through I'M
desirable means, but 1t is obviously
susceptible OF abuse in an exceptional
and peculiar degree.
