SHOT BY

DENVER MAN SHOT BY OLD EN-
EMY WHO THREATENED
TO Get HIM"
Western Press

WeSltIIl TeS5
DENVER, Nov. 16.-Myron A. Root
aged 55, a member of the firm of
Young & Company, in Sixteenth
street, was shot and probably fatally
wounded early this morning by an in
truder in his home in Vallejo street
The bullet entered his left side just
below the heart and passed through
his body. He is at the county hos
pital. His assailant escaped.
From the story told by Root the
police are of the opinion that the man
who shot him was not burglar but
an old enemy who threatened to get
him" over thirty years ago and has
since made four attempts to take his
life.
The man is James DeVinney, who
was a school mate of Roots in Ripon
Wis, in the early '70s. In 1887 Root
discovered burglar in his home and
recognized him as DeVinney. He at
tempted to overpower him and was
seriously stabbed. DeVinney was ar
rested and sentenced to the peniteni-
tentiary. He threatened to get even
with root. Two years later when he
was released from the penitentiary
according to the remarkable story told
the police by Root, he tried to Kill
Root. The present one is his fourth
attempt.

the four defendants were lured to the

Justice Goff limited the time during

what extent the different churches
are overlapping each other in their
home mission work. The commission
discovered many facts which the whole

LOVES POWER OVER THE WILD
ANIMALS.
BY George Wharton James.

Some years ago | was invited to
Grand Rapids, Michigan, to deliver =
course of lectures. While there, one
of my friends, knowing my fondness
for animals, planned ride to the
park, where, though it was winter
several animals were still to be found
in cages In one of these were three
timber wolves, one of which was the
largest of his species | had ever seen,
and he was by far the most feroc-
ious. Immediately We came up his
eyes flashed fiery red, his name
arose, his lips drew back and barred his
vicious-looking teeth and he snarled
and growled with menacing manner
that clearly showed that he regarded
all mankind as his personal foe to be
met as such. There seemed to be a
rancor. fierce, active hatred present
in the poor creature. He did not wait
to be aroused as most Gagged animals
do, gazing at you with fear or indif
ference, but he was 'in arms" the
moment he saw you near him, ready
to fight, alert, actively demonstrating
his anger and resentment at your
presence. This active quality of the
poor creatures hatred of man so i'm
pressed me that | felt impelled to say
to myself: you have been badly
treated until you have come to hate
every man as a personal foe. All men
are not cruel. You shall learn that
at least one man loves you and would
take away that feeling Of rancor and
hatred that so embitters your poor
Gagged life"
Instinctively | wanted to put my
hands on him and soothe him, and
we being the only visible visitors-l
ignored the park regulations, sprang
over the railing that kept sight-seers
at safe distance, and began by looks,
words and tones to convey to the poor
creature what | felt for him. The
moment ! came so near his eyes dart
ed fire, and his vicious appearance
would have frightened me away had
not the power of love been so urgent
within. Soothingly | talked to him,
until at length, his active anger
seemed to cease, and he stood more
quiescent near the bars. At the first
possible opportunity | quietly reached
in through the bars and put my hand
on his haunch. Immediately the old
fire came back into his eyes and he
sprang at the hand and at me as
yiciously as ever. Very quietly with
drew my hand, so as not to alarm him
by any apparently threatening move
ment, and again soothed him with my
voice. Again put my hand on him
and this time there was less resent
nient Again and again ! did this
until was stroking his back and hind
legs quite freely.
Then more visitors arrived, and
even while they were at distance
the VOLTS ferocity and anger seemed
to be aroused He snarled and
growled, barred his fangs, erected his
name and all the hair along his spine

SMALL FRUITS

Plan now to mulch the strawberry
bed as soon as the ground freezes.
Open up some littlc furrows or
bitches where needed to insure proper
surface drainage during the winter
when the ground is frozen. This is
sometimes necessary even on tile
drained land.
November, in mild climates, may be
good time to prune grapevines; but
in the cold northern states it is safer
to wait until late February. Cut back
new wood so as to leave only about
two buds on each cane.
The necessity for moving grape
vine frequently arises and is met by
laborious digging. This work may be
saved, if the vine has to be moved but
few feet, by opening narrow
trench and burying one of the canes in
it, bringing it up where wanted. The
vine may be cut off and kept down ut
its old place of business and wilt soon
forget it,
Some kinds Of grapes, raspberries
and blackberries are too tender to en-
dure, successfully, the cold of excep-
tionally hard winters in severe eli
mates. If you want to be on the safe
side, protect such varieties by bending
them down along the row and cover
ing them with earth. They will bend
down easily if little soil is first re-
moved from one side of the roots.
The whole surface Of the straw
berry bed should be covered rather
lightly with straw, well-rotted strawy
manure, marsh hay, or any material
useless for feed, such as reeds. rushes,
etc, an even depth of three inches be-
ing very desirable On small beds.
the material can be hauled up to the
edge of the plapration while the
weather is fine, plaql in neat pile,
and, when the ground'h frozen, it can
be scattered over it with fork. On
larger plantations, theS&qrk of haul
ing may be deferred uSfit the ground
has frozen, when the loaded wagon
may be driven astride row, the
driver pitching the material off on
either side of the load, while two help
ers scatter it to the proper depth.

HAPPINESS IN TOLL

In toll alone can happiness be found.
Tho one should sail the languid sum
mer seas
OF idleness for aye, each day resume
His course thro' feeble tides, the
ceaseless round
OF voyaging would bring the soul no
ease,
But vain regrets and endless miseries,
And deep despair would be its final
doom,
That man should earn his bread by
toll is best.
Were there no toll, there never could
be rest,
And they who labor hard with brain
or hand
Shall have refreshing sleep, delightful
dreams;
And all night long shall roam a
pleasant land,
And lie on banks of flowers by run
ming streams.
