A RARE SPECIMEN

Sunday Jas. E. Forde shot a web
footed fowl on Spectacle lake over
which there was sharp division OF
opinion as to its classification. some
declaring it to be duck, and others
stalking their reputation on the declar-
alton that it was a loon. 1t had beau
tiful plumage. in size between a duck
and a goose, and was different from
anything in the web-fotted family that
has ever been seen about here. Fred
Hart dressed the bird, and found in its
throat a fish upward of ten inches
long that 1t was in the act of swallow
ing when shot. 1t is not often that a
hunter gets fish and fowl with single
shot

Seven are yet to be heard from def

would give the Democrats a clear ma

would be even further increased by
winning in several.
The Democrats have a chance to
win a senator in Illinois, Michigan
New Hampshire, Oregon, South Da-
kota, Tennessee and Wyoming Ordin-
arily Tennessee could not be relied
upon to help the Democratic party but
the factional fight there may prevent
in this crisis. In Illinois there are
complications growing out of the
multiplicity of parties, rendering it
uncertain whether there will be a
senatorial election In that state there
should be chosen a successor to Sena-

Public Printer to Destroy 100000 to

Washington, D. c., Nov. S.-Uncle
Sam has more old documents than he
knows what to do with, and the public
printer is preparing to destroy 100000
to make room for others more popular
Some of the documents to be de-
stroyed are in reality valuable if the
right people had them They include
department reports. Congressional
Records, Congressional Globes, eulog-
les and documents of many kinds.
Many of them contain valuable infor-

well, what do you think of this,
Billy" Sam Martin exclaimed, as he
handed me the evening paper, point
ing to a paragraph under the head
ing. Social Gleanings," which read:
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Hamilton an
nounce the marriage of their daugh-
ter, Ethel, and Oscar Newman, at
Grace church, Oakburn, Tuesday,
October L.
What do you think Of it, SAM"
l inquired as I tossed the paper back
to him.
Its an outrage, a BANKED outrage!
What right has Os Newman to marry
anybody but Beatrice Price? Don't
all her friends, all his friends, know
he is wildly in love with her? Haven't
he followed Beatrice about like
hungry dog chasing a bone ever since
he first met her? l repeat, what
right has he to marry Ethel Hamil-
ton? Why, she's child, a silly little
butterfly of fashion. Os never can
love that type of woman, and you
know it, Bill"
yes, | know it. What do you sup
pose poor old Oscar did it for?"
Sam hitched his chair up closer to
mine, lighted his pipe and took few
slow inhalations before he replied by
shaking his head slowly and pro
nouncing the one word, "Pique"
1T looks like it, | must admit" said
l. And yet l gave Oscar credit for
too much common sense to ever let
him do fool trick like that"
Beatrice turned him down, and he
swore he would get even"
Well, of all the! It's a mighty
queer thing, Sam, how men-and
women-try to prove how little they
really care for the person they ouce
protested to love so deeply by turn
ing around and marrying some one
else. How the proving of themselves
fickle-minded should give them one
moments pleasure, or how, under
such circumstances, they can hope
for happiness passes my understand,
ing.
TT just goes to show, I think, that
the love such people have is very
small, not the grand passion, the over
powering devotion of a great soul, as
they like to imagine it is Hurt vain
ily, smarting pride and the fiendish
desire to hurt in return are more re-
sponsible for the marriage from pique

BUFFALO ROBES SOON TO
Be THINGS OF PAST
Very Few Are to Be Had in
Market Now

st. Louis, Nov. S-Out in western
Kansas one still frequently sees an
old plainsman drive into town cover
ed with a buffalo overcoat or buffa-
10 laprobe in the winter time, How
ever, buffalo relies are becoming very
scarce, and in few years they will
entirely disappear.
/ There was a time when Kansas fur
nished buffalo robes for the world. No
well regulated family on an eastern
farm was without one There were
not only very warm, but reasonable in
price.
1t was the Kaw Indians who first
marketed buffalo robes. Later, manu-
facturers. seeing the vast profit in
them, made them by the thousands
and supplied the world. But the man.
ufactured or patent tanned robes did
not last as long as the robes tanned
by the Indians In fact, it is said that
the robes now in service were those
tanned by these Indians many years
before the white man began to tan
them.
/ The Indian woman did the tanning.
They fastened he green hides to set
Of frames just like grandmother used
to fasten her quilts to, when she
made them. The squaws would then
take blunt instrument, resembling a
hoe, and work off all the flesh and
membranes from the hide
They called it "feshing" Then they
would rub the skin for several days
wi h a heavy, smooth surfaced club
until all the grease had been driven
out of the hide. They used no chem.
icals at all in tanning. Only hides
from buffaloes killed late in the win
ter We're used in making robes, as the
fur was then heaviest.
Before the Kaws threw the robes
on the market they used them in MAX
ing moccasins and winter clothing, al
so for covering for their tepees. But
when a market was established for
them and the Indians would get real
money or real food, or real whisky
for them, buffalo tepees soon disap-
peared from the reservation.

WHAT SAM THOUGHT
IS HERE RELATED

than any heart wounds either man or
woman may feel.
THE man who has tried his best to,
win the one woman in the world and
failed the woman who has given her
best to a man who proves himself
false, will not be in any hurry to bind
themselves by marriage vows to an
other person.
"Such fatal steps-and they nearly
always are fatal-show suffering sell
conceit rather than broken heart
an error into which those who are
only half in love ever fall.
The man squares up his shoulders
and says, Well maybe I won't show
that girl thing or two!' The girl
losses her pretty head. pins on ,

new frock and fares forth, vowins
that she'll just show that man how
little she really cared.
This is far more dangerous for a

woman may come to love her.husband
if he is kind and good to her, but, as
you know Sam, no man ever gives
his heart to woman after marriage.
you are right about that, old man! !
1t hurts, though, to think that Oscar
could display so much innate mean
ness. l can't understand how any
honorable man could allow himself to
commit such a fraud. 1t is a fraud,
a lie. a cheat! Do you suppose even

But here I laid OBTAINING hand on

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid core. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
"Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything We put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cutcura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely

CANORRISTS ARE CONVICTED
Members of BIoodthirsty Band Found
Guilty of Murder by Jury at
at Viterbo, Italy.

Viterbo, Italy.-The jury which has
for nearly two years been hearing the
evidence against the Camorrists on
the charge of numbering the Cuoccolos
returned verdict of guilty for almost
all directly or indirectly implicated or
responsible for the double murder.
The charge of criminal assassina-
ton" was sustained against all ex-
cept five.
The reading of the verdict was at
tended by scenes of the utmost con-
fusion and violence. DeMarinis, whose
wife previously made votive offerings
at the church of Santa Rosa and who
tainted later in the court room, at
tempted suicide upon hearing the ver-
dict, infiicting a CHASTITY wound in his
throat
The court then passed the following
sentences:
Alfano and Rapi, instigators; Sor-
tino, Salvi, Nora, Cerrato and De-
Marinis, plotters, 30 years at hard la
Dor for each and three years under po-
lice surveillance.
Sixteen members of the band who
were found guilty of criminal associa-
tion were sentenced to five years with
three years Of police surveillance.
DeMattis was given 20 years; Ascrit-
tore and the priest, Vitozzi, who were
charged with perjury, were given nine
and six years, respectively. Eight
were discharged
