HUNTING THE CARLSON.
Sharp Lookout Required to Catch the
Watchfui Animal UnaWares.

In hunting the caribou, quletness Is
essential Never break a twig If you
can avoid it, for a cracking prdIcii

the very stag you particularly WANT
Equally important is it to keep shaFp
lookout at all times, especially Wheh
entering a barren, where stag may
he sleeping. for under such conditions
thew are hard to see. Among the num-
erous gray dead stumps and moss-coV-
cred low trees, the color of the carl
bou is so inconspicuous that the uii-
trained eye will fail to detect the am
NAL even at close range. The hrse IN
timation will be a glimpse OF dlsap-
pearing patch of white as the caflpoo'
yanishes into the woods.
All things considered, the caribou Oh
Newfoundland Is not as alert as any
other deer that l know of, and is
therefore more readily approached.
There is, of course, great variation
among them, some being extremely
alert and difficult to stalk, While oth-
ers are so absurdly tame that they VIII
allow a man to walk right up to within
a few wards before taking fright. Cut
riosity is often a noticeable failing
with them: when once it is aroused
they will go to almost any lengths to
satisfy it. I do not, however, ADVISE
the hunter to count too much on 1t, for
the very thing which you imagine VIII

not frighten them away. Sometimes
strange noise will make them very IN
quisitive, and they will come within

of dog that is separated from it's mas

when the master pretends sadness and
wags it when the master pretends glad

Doubts Animal Reason.

Professor Hatchet Souplet, director OF
the French Institute of Geological Psy-
chology, is not convinced that animals
have reasoning powers. He thinks it is
the projection of the human nerve fluid
or the explosion of human will power. to
which animals are more sensitive than
men, that produces such phenomena as

write plays and compose music. These
are the exact expressions employed by
our correspondents.
Professor Souplet expresses the theory
that animals have highly developed
senses capable of feeling the so-called
human nervous fluid, which already has

Fire Melville St.
Thursday Afternoon
Causes 5000 Loss

The fire department was called out at
81 Thursday afternoon by an alarm from
box 81 at the corner of Green and Sewall
streets, due to the discovery of a brisk
blaze in the two and one-half story frame
dwelling house at u Melville street own
ed by Hiram F. lockwood, the upper sto-
ry of which was occupied by Walter
Bachelor.
The fire caught around the chimney in
the ell and was well underway when dis
covered, but the firemen were soon on
hand, and while the fire burned off the
greater part of the roof of the ell and
also worked it's way into the attic of the
main house and partially burned the roof,
the boys made a good stop. The houses
on that section of Melville street in
which is located the lockwood house are
close together and had the blaze not been
stopped where it was the chances would
have been good for one of the largest
fires that Augusta has seen for a long
time.
The estimated loss on the house on ac-
count of fire and water is about $500 and
this is covered by insurance In the Ma
comber, Farr & Whitten agency. por-
ton of the household goods of Mr. Bach
elder were removed, but he also lost
some, perhaps half, which it was impossi-
Bile to save. 1t is understood that he
carried some insurance. The all-out Sig
nal was sounded at AL.

amazed at the interest the contest has
developed. The matching of wits, the
fairness by which prize winners are
selected and the facination of break
into print has awakened the most en-
ehusiastic competition. The Journal
was so well pleased with two contri-
buttons that two first prizes, instead
of one offered will be awarded.
In behalf of the advertisers as well
as for itself, the Journal wishes to
thank the many contributors for their

HADN'T HEARD OF HIM.
Fat Man Thought Oliver Goldsmith
Was a Candidate for Office.

Joseph P. Tumulty, Secretary to the
President, is a repository of all the
good Irish and political stories extant
In New Jersey, and tells them with an
effective mimicry. Here's one of his
best:
Mr.. Tumulty was attending a politi-
cal meeting in Jersey City, near the
close of the presidential campaign of
1900. James A. Hammill, of Jersey City,
now a Democratic Representative in
Congress, was the first speaker and
addressed himself to the theme of anti
Imperialism. He assailed the Philip
pine policy Of the Mckinley Admins
tration, declared that it saddled an
alien and weaker people with Gov
ernment in which they had no share
and that the exploitation of the is
lands was undermining the principles
of American life.
.'As Oliver Goldsmith we'll said,
concluded Mr.. Hammill:
'Tll fares the land, to Fastening ills a
prey,
Where wealth accumulates,. and men
decay"
After Mr.. Hammill had finished, the
late Representative, Allan L. MeDer-
mott, arrived and was introduced to
the audience. He made an anti-im-
perialistic speech, exclaiming that the
sacred principles of American self
government were corroded by the
greed of conquest. Il can do no better,
ne said, than to repeat the warning
so well phrased by Oliver Goldsmith
| .I'n fares the land, to fastening ills
prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and mer
decay"
The chief speech of the evening was
| delivered by William j. Bryan, ther
| candidate for President He arrived
| late from another meeting and IN ls'
| noranee of the nature of the previous
addresses. This was his peroration:
u want a Government in which th'
| Lowest man shall be permitted to real
| ize his energies in every field or ac
| tior. I believe that tn farmer of th
| West is as capable of saying who shal
constitute this Government as TIT
| plutocrat OF the East. l want a Gov
| eminent in which the least citizel
shall be permitted to accomplish hi
| destiny without being subject TO an!
limitations except those which God ha'
placed upon him. AS Oliver Goldsmith
has truly said"
At this point Mr.. Tumulty felt some
body nudging him in the ribs. III
turned to find his neighbor, a large
fat and perplexed man, who whisper
| ed:

ming for anyway ?"-NeW YORK Times

Joseph Bolduc was before the mu-

complaint of his wife, the gist Of the
complaint being that Mr.. Bolduc did
not furnish her and the other members
of the family with food, clothing, or
with anything in the line Of house
hold goods and did not provide any
shoes for the children. The respondent
pleaded not guilty, and in his story
to the court was inclined to blame

bles with which he is beset. Not a
small amount of the Bolduc family
sffairs were given to the court, and at
the conclusion OF the hearing the case
was continued until March 26.

finds so much ice in the river above
the Kennebec bridge as exists at pres
ent, the ice extending practically
across the river as far as the Maine
Central railroad bridge. and there is
also some ice above that structure. AS
the current there is swift however the
ice wears away rapidly and a few mild
days will max" quite a change so far
as that particular part Of the river is
concerned.
