over the water Then it dived and saw it
no more.
NV attention was soon drawn away from
these distant sights and brought back to
what was going on at my very feet. Two
creatures like large armadillos had come
down to the drinking place and were squat
ting at the edge of the water, their long,
flexible tongues like red ribbons shooting. in
and out as they Tapped. A huge deer, with
branching horns, a magnificent creature
which carried itself like a king, came down
with its doe and two fawns, and drank be-
side the armadil1os. No such deer exist any
where else upon earth; for the moose or ellks
which have seen would hardly have reached
its shoulder. Presently it gave a warning
snort and was off with its family among the
reeds, while the armadillos also scutt1ed for
shelter.
A newcomer, most mOnStrOuS animal,
was coming down the path. For moment
l wondered where could have seen that un-
calmly shape, that arched back with triangu
lar fringes along it, that strange, birdlike
back to me. 1t was the stegosaurus-
very creature which Maple White had pre-
served in his sketchbook, which had been
the first object which arrested the attention
of Challenger, There he was-perhaps the
very specimen which the American artist
had encountered. The ground shook be-
meath his tremendous weight, and his gulp-
ings of water resounded through the still
night. For five minutes he was so close to
my rock that by stretching out my hand
could have touched the hideous, waving
hackles upon his back. Then he numbered
away and was lost among the boulders.
Looking at my watch, saw that it was
half-past two o'clock, and high time, there

ney There was no difficulty about the di-
rection in which l should return; for all
along | had kept the little brook upon my
left, and it opened into the central lake with
in stonethrow of the boulder upon which
had been lying. l set off, therefore, in high
spirits; for l felt that had done good work
and was bringing back fine budget of news
for my companions. Foremost of all, of
course, were the sight of the fiery caves and
the certainty that some troglodytic race in
habited them. But besides that l could
speak from experience of the central lake.
l could testify that it was full of strange
creatures, and l had seen several forms of
primeval life which we had not before en-
countered. l reflected as l walked that few
men in the world could have spent stranger
night, or added more to human knowledge in
the course of it.

TRIPS
WERE SUCCESSFUL
400 Sunday Schools in Five
Counties Visited for the
State Convention.

About 400 Sunday schools in Wayne,
Fayette, Henry, Union and Randolph
counties were visited yesterday by
Boosters parties for the purpose of
urging the schools to send as large a
representation as possible to the state
convention which is to be held in this
city the latter part of this week.
Eight automobiles. carrying thirty
five boosters, left the Young Mems
Christian Association building at s
o'clock yesterday morning and visited
forty Sunday schools in various parts
of this county. Four automobiles
filled with Cambridge City Boosters
left Cambridge City at the same time
as the Richmond Boosters started on
their tour and visited twenty-eight
schools in that part of the county. A
total of sixty-eight schools were Wis
tied and each school promised to send
at least ten or twelve delegates to the
state gathering.
The purpose of the trip was to urge
the various schools to assist in making
the 1912 convention the largest, from
the standpoint of the number of dele
gates, of any other convention held so
far. The committee in charge of the
convention desires to have at least one
thousand delegates from Wayne coun-
ty in attendance. From the statements
made by the superintendent of the va
rious schools throughout the county,
it is gathered that between 1000 and
1900 delegates will attend.
Sunday school men in Indiana coun-
ties adjacent to Wayne county, are
anxious to have their counties well
represented at the large gathering,
and with this idea in view, are making
boosters trips.
Arrangements are being completed
for the convention as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t is believed that this will be
the largest convention ever held Local
church people have responded readily
to the request of the pastors of the
various denomination to provide enter
tainment for the visiting delegates.

SOCIALIST PICNIC
Plans for the Campaign Were
Outlined.-Opening Gun
Fired Wednesday.

The opening gnu of the Socialist
campaign in Wayne county will be
fired next Wednesday night when Wal
ter Marland of Cincinnati, well-known
Socialist orator, will address the CIT
liens of this city at street meeting,
to be held probably at Sixth and Main
streets. The district ticket has been
lists claim, by large number of the
former adherents of the old parties,
who are out of sympathy with the way
things are being conducted. The So
cialists claim they will poll a very
heavy vote in this county this fall.
Plans for the campaign in the Sixth
district were very informally discussed
at the picnic held yesterday in Jackson
park. Over 1000 Socialists and mem
bers of their families were present for
the days outing. ]. O'Hara, of this
city, gave a short address, exhorting
the Socialists to pull together, and out
lining in measure, the work for this
fall. He was succeeded by r. S. Vor-
hees, candidate for congress from this
district, who was in turn superseded
by otto S. Branstetter, of Oklahoma,
an organizer of the Socialist party.
The day was very profitably spent,
most of the time being given over to
informal discussions by the voters on
phases of the fall campaign. Special
cars carried the large crowds to the
park

o.
> Ventriloquisn,,

ventriloquism is no science, but mere
" trick in the manipulation of the
voice, which after much practice is
able to be done in a way to deceive. 1t
consists merely in the varied modifica-
tons Of the sounds produced in the
larynx in imitation of the notifications
which distance imposes upon the voice.
The essential mechanism of ventrilo-
Quism consists in taking a full breath,
then keeping the muscles of the neck
and chest fixed and speaking with the
mouth almost closed and the lips and
lower jaw as motionless as possible.
while air is very slowly expelled
through a narrow CLOTHS. Care is also
taken that none of the expired air es-
capes through the nose. Much of the
ventriloquist's skill, however. in imi-
tating sounds coming from particular
directions depends on deceiving other
senses than hearing. The direction
from which sounds reach the ear is
never very clearly distinguished. and
when the attention is directed to a par
ticular point the Imagination is apt to
refer to that point whatever sounds we
may hear.-Philadelphia Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 24-Ed-
mund Trowbridge Dana, Harvard in
structor, and grandson of Longfellow,
the poet, and his English wife, have
completed the first week of married
life. The couple gave university and
social circles the shock of life time
when they were married under a so.
cialistic form of matrimony and by a
justice of the peace. Both are social
lists, suffragists and fruitarians.
There has been no bossing as yet
said Mrs. Dana this afternoon. Her
husband spoke up: She's just bossing
he around something fiercely," he said
and we have only been married a
week."
When questioned about one of Mrs
Dana's statements that the wife should
be paid salary, he said:
Just at present l am looking for a
job, so the profit sharing business is
not causing any trouble"
But we will share and share alike
when Mr.. Dana gets job" interrupted
the bride.

200 REBELS HANGED
"To Strike Terror in Hearts

MEXICO CITY, June 24-Over 200
Zapatista rebels were captured by fed
eral troops after a battle near Hint
zalac, and summarily hung. Refugees
arriving here from the bandit-ihfested
region, say the fringe of the forest lin
ing the road for some distance in the
vicinity of Huitzilac was marked with
bodies hanging from limbs of trees.
The rebel leader surrendered after
the battle. When the insurrectos had
been disarmed they were led to the
edge of the forest one after another
and were hanged to the nearest tree.
Gen. Robes in his report said the
reason the followers of Zapata, cap
tured by him in Morelos were hanged
as substitute for shooting to death,
was to strike terror to the hearts of
the other rebels operating in that

II there is such thing as a team

krebs defeated the locals q to 3
through the effective pitching of Red"
Kline, timely hitting, good fielding and
the boneheaded plays of the locals and
their absolute lack of teamwork and
effective coaching. Belts and Boil, the
Richmond battery quarreled with each
other constantly when they were
awake until Boil was yanked for the
peppery Turner in the last spasm of
the weird delirium. Belts pitched poor
game and felded his position misera-
bly,, while some of the support he re-
ceived made the bugs gnaw the bleach
er seats. The sins of commission as
set forth on the box score are not nu-
merous, but the locals sins of omis-
sion were countless and space forbids
their enumeration. What the locals
need to keep in the running is good
shaking up and the addition of three
or four men who can clout the ball in
stead of fighting. Intelligent coaching
is also essential The men must also be
