The Periscope.

Permit me to introduce myself to
the public generally. Modest and re-
firing, both by nature and occupation,
| have hitherto refraiped from obtrud-
ing myself upon the attention of the
multitude.
My name is Periscope. My principal
object in life is to rise to every neces-
sary occasion. When this demands
my more or less immediate presence.
I occupy myself by holding up the
mirror, not to Nature, but to the enc
my. Like an occasional idea which
renders superfluous old systems Of
philosophy, l have come to render
superfuous an entire cycle of inven-
tons. / am the last triumph of mind
over matter reflect, and thousand
men go down to their fate. Within
the blue zone of my horizon, subject
to my orders, fits the angel of death.
am the naval eye that put the
naught in dreadnaught.-Life.

Canadians Teach English.

Canadian troops arriving at Sails
bury Plain, England, carry an en-
trenching tool that is novel to the
Englishman. 1t Is capable of being
used as a shield and is slung across
their shoulder in leather case. The
tool is a spade weighing about four
pounds, and consequently can be car
ried at all times. The spade has an
oval hole in the center of it through
which a gunbarrel can be thrust. The
tool thus serves both as rifle rest
and a shield to the soldier in the
trenches. All the spades have been
subjected to heavy fire and the metal
in them is practically bulletproof. At
a distance of 200 yards heavy ammuni-
ton only cracks the shields and does
not penetrate them.

RATTLEsNAKE is AUT0-PR00F
Reptile Continued In Fight Mood
After Being Repeatedly
Run Over.

William Burguson of the Charleston
Motor Sales company. while driving
through North Charleston in an auto
mobile, effected the capture OF large
rattlesnake, which he brought TO
Charleston. S. c.. alive. The reptile
is between five and six feet in length,
with six rattles and button. and Is
of the deadly diamond back variety.
The capture was made by the skill
full use of a lasso which was hastily
made from a ball of twine. When
first sighted the snake was vigorously
disputing the right of way with Mr..
Burguson's automobile, and 1t was the
buzzing OF the snakes rattles which
first attracted his attention. The rat
tier was stretched across the road,
and Mr.. Burguson, intending to kill II.
drove the car directly over its body.
The snake coiled and made several
vicious strikes at the auto, apparently
none the worse for having had its
body passed over by several hundred
weight. The driver backed the car,
and again ran over the reptile, but
with no apparent effect, except to put
the rattler in worse humor, for the
latter repeatedly struck at the wheels
of the car. Mr. Burguson then alight-
ed and attacked the husky specimen
with large stick. and the snake re
treated to the bushes on the side oil
the road. After an exciting chase the
reptile was finally stunned and las
seed. Mr.. Burguson brought it to the
city in a box. 1t is the intention Of
Mr.. Burguson to give the snake tC

THIS HICKMAN WAS THRIFTY
Notwithstanding His Lack of Memory
He Manages to Collect a
"Half" Fare.

A Newark man went to Newtown,
Conn, the other day, in quest of an
interview with Doctor Hadley, presi.
dent of Yale At the railway station
he learned that the Hadley home was
several miles distant. An elderly
hackman, driving a spawned horse
and a rickety carriage, waited con-
veniently near, and the reporter hired
him for the trip.
Out through the country they drove
for three or four miles. Suddenly the
hackman slapped his knee and
shouted:
"Whoa,"
What's the matter now?" asked
the reporter
'By crickety!" said the hackman
eff that Teller Hadley didn't leave town
on the train this morning, and clean
forgot all about it,"
Its q wonder you didn't remem
Der before you brought me away out
here" the reporter explained.

Nathan Bedford Forrest.

It IS not true that General Forrest
was IAN ignorant man, never TO his
dying day able to read or write" as
has been said. On the other hand, he
was a man of extraordinary natural
ability and the possessor OF a great
deal of solid wisdom. The poverty OF
his parents prevented him from obtain
ing an early education, but in mature
life he learned to read and write. The
best life of Forrest is that of DR.. John
A. Wyeth.

ELKS TO Be PLACED

CAPTURED IN IDAHO
Game Warden Is Now in West

of Elk to Custer.

Pierre. s. D.. March 2o.-Game War
den Hedrick left today for Victor,
Ia, TO receive a shipment Of rs elk
for the South Dakota game preserve in
the Black Hills. The animals are
secured from the government in the
Yellowstone park, and local men in
that vicinity hunt them and capture
them at q reasonable charge. and the
only expense to the state will be for
transportation and the payment OF the
men capturing the valuable animals.
The big area Of the preserve, com
prtsing about $4,000 acres will all
eventually be fenced in, but at present
O smaller preserve within that, has
been completely fenced with high wire.
South Dakota a had its order in for
some time for the elk and Hedrick
feels the state Is fortunate to get the
animals In SO inexpensive a way, and
at so early q date. The elk will I'M
doubtedly thrive well, In the sur
roundings. which will in considerable
measure be similar to what they have
been accustomed to in the Rockies.
Hedrick will personally supervise the
shipment OF the animals from Idaho,
where they are to be delivered to him,
to Custer, and from that point he ex-
poets to bring them by agons a dis
lance of Is miles to the preserve pre-
pared for them.

FLANpREAU rs TRYING
TO LAND ELECTRIC LINE

Flandreau, S. D., March 23.-A large
enthusiastic meeting was held here by
the local business men n farmers OF
the surrounding territory for the pur-
pose Of taking steps to have Flandreau
made a station OF the proposed new
Luce line OF electric railroad, which
has been surveyed from Bookings
southwark through this section Of the
country. 1t is expected that a branch
line will run from the main line in this
vicinity westward to Mitchell via Rut-
land, while the main line will run
southwark to Sioux Falls and ultima
tely to Sioux City.
1t is believed the main line will
strike Flandreau and swing east Of
the Milwaukee railroad extending from
Sioux Falls to Egan far enough to tap
an extensive strip of country which
now is entirely without railroad
facilities. ...s,.I -"a
The extension of this electric rail-
road through the region between
Brcokings and Sioux Falls will give
the residents Of the territory traversed
first class railway facilities.

"soFT DRINK" PARLoRS
RAIDED AT MADISON

Madison, S. D., March 24.~--A repre-
sentative OF the State Anti-Saloon
league. accompanied by Sheriff Butts
and local league men, made a, raid Fri
day evening on soft drink parlors and
lodge rooms and confiscated o bar
rels Of beer from the Eagle rooms, six
barrels from the Owls rooms and bot
tied goods from the Turner's, Williams
and Murphy's places. The wet goods
have been stored in the city jail to
await legal proceedings.
1t is rather a peculiar situation. In
the March session of the supreme court
a decision ON a previous trial was
granted to the vets, making Madison
a wet town. But up to date no IL
censes have been granted, therefore
making it illegal to sell liquor in the
city. Last January a similar raid was
made on several soft drink parlors.
some Of them for a second time, and
the owners OF the raided places were
fined 500 and cost Of the proceed
'ings. 1t is doubtful just what will
be melted out to them on their second
offense. g.. f. sa. "a1n- -.
