No Cause for Alarm

Despite the sensational scare
heads Of the Daily Crouch the wa
der situation in Lamar is not alarm
ing. As there is every reason to
expect the new water supply to be
available in short time, the coun-
ell wisely decided to get along with
repairing the present plant and
putting down one new we'll. They
are now pumping a much larger
volume of water than was ever
pumped before, Mr.. Hunter informs
us. and the pressure. while not all
that could be desired, is still better
than for several summers. and far
better than most of the other towns
of the valley.

l.. c. Manning, prominent bust

and killed at Walker station by John
b. Wilkinson while trying to enter
the house of the latter. Manning
went out on the evening train from
Albany, having spent the day there.
1t was alleged that he was drinking
heavily, and members of the train
crew stated he boarded the wrong
train at Union Station. He intended
going home, but went to Walker sta
ton instead.
Manning went to several houses
there, seeking admittance. He re-
fused several times to give his name.

went to the home of Wilkinson the
latter heard him in the porch. Not
knowing who it was Wilkinson
picked up a small calibre rifle and
fired. Hearing no further noise he
took it for granted that the person
had left. Next morning Manning's
body was found on the porch.

TIGER HAD HIS FACE WASHED.
How a COssack Proceeded to Obey
Orders of Animal Trainer.

A certain French animal trainer,
while Showing" in ST. Petersburg,
hired a poor Cossack, who was as
ignorant of the French language as
he was of fear, to clean the cages
of the wild beasts.
Instructions were given to the man
by means of gestures and dumb
show, and apparently he thoroughly
understood what he was expected to
do.
The next morning he began his
new duties by entering with bucket,
sponge and broom, not the cage of
the tame beast, but that of splendid
tiger, which lay asleep on the floor.
The fierce animal awoke and fixed
his eyes upon the man, who calmly
proceeded to wet his large sponge
and unterrified, approached the til
| ger.
| At this moment the trainer pro-
prietor saw what was going on and
was struck with horror. Any sound
/ or motion on his part would increase
the danger of the situation by arous-
ing the beast to fury, so he quietly
waited till the need should arise to
rush to the mans assistance.
The Cossack, sponge in hand, ap-
preached the animal and, perfectly
fearless, proceeded to rub him down
as if he had been a horse. or a dog;
while the tiger, apparently delighted
! by the application of cold water,
rolled over on his back, stretched out
it's paws, purred and offered every
part of it's body to the moujik, who
washed him as complacently as
mother bathes her infant.
Then he left the cage and would
have repeated the hazardous expert
ment upon another savage beast had
not the trainer with difficulty drawn
| him off

OVERSTOCKED WITH BOYS.
The Stork Has Been Very Partial to
Them in Tasmania.

A queer state of affairs has come
about in Tasmania. There is no race
suicide there, but it appears that for
some years the stork has been par
tial to boy babies. The result is
that the province has grown to be
over-stocked with boys, while there
is a great dearth of girls. AS the
boys grow up there is nobody for
them to marry. Hundreds of pros
porous young farmers are without
wives. In this emergency advertise
ments have been put in papers that
circulate in England asking that
manageable young women be sent
out to the colony Several parties
of girls have already been made up
to sail from Perth and seek their for
tunes in the antipodes. If the Tas-
manian advertisers were to put some
of their advertisements in New Eng
land newspapers they might get re-
suits.

State Entomologist E. L. Worsham
is now engaged in preparing a circu-
lar which is to be distributed among
the cotton growers of this state on
the present status of the Texas boil
weevil, and when this dread insect
may be expected to appear in south

According to Entomologist Wor-

miles. This is the greatest distance
yet recorded for any one year. At
this rate it is expected the boil wee

years more.
The circular letter will tell the
planters what to expect and how best
to identify the dread insect in order
that its presence may be reported in

sible.
So far nothing has been discovered
which can effectually stop the march

MAKES BUSTS OF INDIANS
THAT'S ONE OCCUPATION OF MEN
IN UNCLE SANS EMPLOY.
Noble Red Men Portrayed in Plaster
For Preservation of Types.
How 1t Is Done.

Among many queer occupations
held by men in Uncle Sans employ
is that of official portrait-bustmaker
of Indian features for portrait gal
lery of the North Aemrican Indian.
The government wishes to preserve
the types of pure American Indians
and the changes in their facial char
acteristics as they gradually adopt
civilized customs. The man who
does this work is Henry Hendley in
the National Museum in Washington.
When an Indian goes to Washing
ton he is taken to Mr.. Hendley. The
method used in portraying his feat
ures is not pleasant One-as Hend-
ley has to make a plaster cast of the
Indians face and head. Not every
gentle Hiawatha will stand for this
process, for he must allow his face
to be covered with dabs of plaster
until all except his nostrils is a sticky
mask of white He breathes through
Quills inserted in his nostrils. Then,
he must sit patiently until the plaster
has hardened sufficiently to permit it's
removal in sections.
In the same manner an impression
is obtained of the back of his head.
his hair being covered with a prepar-
alton that prevents it's adherence to
the plaster. The cast of his features
is then complete in sections. BY this
time, Lo, the poor Indian, is so COM
pletely subdued that he makes no
protest when told to sit for his pho
tograph. Hendley uses this photo
graph as a guide in working up the
Iaclal lines and characteristic marks
on the completed bust cast from the
various sections.
The cast which has been obtained.
IN this manner is known as the
STOCK cast" Five of these COM
pete casts are made, all of them
showing a number of raised lines
across the features caused by the
cracks between the pieces of the
stock casts" The casts are then
ailoWed to harden, after which Hend-
icy goes over them with the photo

A DARING SCHEME.
City of st. Paul Planning to Turn
Mississippi River Out of Bed.


Mississippi River Out of Bed.
st. Paul, Mimi, is planning to do
a queer thing. This is no less than
charging the business portion of the
city by filling in a part of the Mis-
sissippi river and cutting a new chan
uel across a point of land further
down. This stupendous undertaking
will cost a large sum, but the value
of the land thus added to the city
may equal or exceed the cost of the
engineering project. For many years
st. Paul has been the head of naviga-
ton on the Mississippi, but never be-
fore has any city on the rivers banks
had the temerity to lift the waters
from their bed and start them in a
new course.
1t happens that this city is built on
a bend of the river. This makes a
point of land come directly opposite
the city's heart. AS in most cities
that are divided by river, the town
has grown on one bank and been
sparsely settled on the other shore
BY filling in the channel between the
heart of the business district and this
point of land many acres Will be add
ed to the city exactly where they are
needed. The land on the point will
not be separted from the main city
by water, and hence will increase in
value, while factories, warehouses
and railroads that are now crammed
together on the rivers banks will
gain more room.
